 Mrs. Miilieent Garrett Fawcett. Pre- sident of the National Union of Wo. men \ suffrage Societies, invites Amer ican women who expect to be in Lon don OH June 18th, te march in great suffrage procession to be held on that day. This Union is the conservative wing of the English suffraeists. and American women who may accept the invitation need have no fear that they will be arrested and jailed. IL is against the rules 10 hold any procession within mile of the House of Parliament. and the "snfiragists, who persist in send ing aepatations thitaer, carrying their petition, get sent 10 prison. The older and more quiet Suffrage Association holds processions too-it is a fasorite form of political demonstration by both men and women in England and Eu- rope-but they do not march in the for oidden district. About year ago they had a huge procession in which ladies of title and working girls walked side hy side, and Lady Dorothy Howard, so pleasantly n.nerahered in America, carried banner. In the procession next June, the American section will march under banner bearing the name of Susan R. Anthony.

The JAPANESE Snx.

The spy system which the Japanese
employed during the war with Russia
and which was the wonder as well as
the puzzle of the world may be said to
have been introduced into Japan by the
ancient bushi, who found the basis for
it in Chinese text from which came
so much of their military knowledge.
Therein may it be read that the spy is
the finest evolution Of military strate-
gy. Five kinds are painstakingly de-
fined, but the greatest of these is de-
clared to be he who can pretend disloy-
atty and disaffection to the commander
to whom he really has sworn fealty in
order that he may SO gain the conf
dence of the enemy, live as one Of
them in their own camps and betray
them into following a course that to
them will spell defeat.-I, X. Friedman

Chain Among Farmers.
Chairman Mack was informed by
wire today that at meeting of repre-
sentative farmers Of Washington town
ship, Marion county, Indiana, the fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted, and
1t was also agreed to form an endless
chain among the farmers Of the coun-
try:
Whereas, The Associated Press has
sent out statement issued by P. M.
Sharples, president Of the Sharples
Separator Company OF Westehester,
Pa, saying that the hour Bryan is
elected the Sharples works will close
down. and
Whereas, Such statements as this
will intensity the present financial
panic and will also tend to bring on.
If possible, other and greater financial
calamity; therefore, be 1t
Resolved, That as farmers who have
the good OF our country at heart. we
deeply deplore such unwarranted
statements. and believing they are
made for partisan purposes to intfmi-
date and influence voters, we herewith
denounce all firms making this and
similar announcements. as narrow and
bigoted, and in these times as disloyal
to the best business interests OF the
nation, and In as much as the persons
and firms now resorting to these I'M
fair and unpatrfotic methods maintain
their businesses by patronage of dem
ocrats as well as republicans. we con-
denim these methods as an insult to
any democratic patron which ought TO
be. and which we hope win be, re-
scented.
Resolved, That we hereby call upon
rne farmers OF the nation, irrespective
Of party, who believe in fair play, to
unite with US through their organiza-
tion and as individuals, IN crushing out
| this unwise and indiscreet spirit which
would sacrifice the country's welfare
for party success. (Signed) Albert

REPUBLICANS HOWL CALAMITY
Seek TO Destroy Public Confidence Ia
Futile Effort 20 Defeat
BRYAN :


Facing inevitable defeat and with a
full knowledge of the fact that Bry-
ans election is as certain as anything
reasonably can be in politics, the Re-
publicans have been forced 70 resort
to the last refuge of political towards
Ito the calamity howl. They are now
engaged in telling the country that
panic and ruin will follow the election
OF Mr.. Bryan. Instead of being patri-
otto citizens anxious to restore busi.
ness condolences confidence which
has been lost under a Republican adj
ministration-to subserve their own
political selfish purposes they are vain
~ endeavoring to prolong the present
business depression. The question
naturally suggests itself Why is 1t
necessary to restore confidence? Why
is 1t necessary to bring back business
prosperity? What has become of conf
dence, what has become OF prosperity?
Both, under Republican administra-
ton, have disappeared. Why is an
other Republican administration neces-
sary to insure return of confidence
and prosperity?
The very same men who. today, are
going about the country still further
destroying confidence by preaching
calamity, are the men, who, four years
ago said that the Republican party
must be successful In order that there
might be prosperity. The Republican
enc ftt1 ht,< 9
bringing prosperity 1t brought panic,
business depression and commercial
stagnation. Whatever may be said Of
the present panic. 1t cannot be denied
that 1t is Republican panic. The
Republican party is in full possession
of the government and must accept
the responsibility. How, then, can
continuation of the Republican party in
power cure the evils from which the
business community and the laboring
man now suffer? Let the Republicans
howl about their own panic, and not
make false predictions about what will
happen under a Democratic admins
tratlon. They predicted prosperity
four years ago, and proven false pro-
phets. Why, then, should any sane
man accept their premonitions now
when they say that Bryans election
would bring business troubles. Bust
ness troubles are already here. What |
business men want is a cure for them, |
not a prolongation OF the disease by |
the same sort of treatment which has |
produced the ailment.
Because business men and laboring [
men both know that a Republican ad- |
has produced panic, they
will not be deceived again by these
false cries of Republican calamity
howlers- They know that William |
Jennings Bryan is an honest man; they
know that he will give the public an |
honest administration. They know that |
the calamity howl is for the sole pur-
pose of deception.

a CONVINCING CERTIFICATE
That Every Voter Should Read who
Relieves That Bank Deposits Should
BE Guaranteed Against iass-

That Every Voter Should Read VIII.
Relieves That Bank Deposits Should
Be Guaranteed Against Loss.
The Democratic platform fayors Sc
cured bank deposits. The Republican
Platform Is silent on the subject and
its leaders, Mr.. Taft notably, CD
pose it.
The following certificate published
IN The Commoner is distinctly inter
esting at the present time:
Guthrie, Okla, June 81, 1908. The
depositors' guaranty law was passed
Dec. IL, 1907, and was made operative
Feb. IA, 1908.
Bank reports show that the effect
of the law began weeks berore the law
was in actual operation.
There are now 551 banks under The
law in this state, including 81 national
banks. There are 255 unsecured banks
(all nationals) in the state.
The dates Of statement calls were
as follows:
For national banks, Dec. 3, 1907;
Feb. 4, 1SOS. and May IA, 1905
For state banks Dec. IL 1907; Feb.
20, 1908, and May IA, 1908.
From Dec. 3, 1907, to Feb. IA.
1908, the deposits In the unsecured
banks decreased about an even half
million. The secured national banks
for the same period gained in deposits
about $4,000. State banks (all Sc
cured for the period from Dec. Ii,
1907, to Feb. IA, 1908, show an increase
in deposits of $716,T4947
''For the period ending May IA, Sc
cured national banks show an increase
in deposits of $645. 413.61.
Estate banks (all secured) for the
period ending May IA, show an in
crease in deposits Of s.. $50, GO214.
For the period ending May IA the
unsecured banks (all nationals) lost in
deposits $600,S0T.S6.
deposits of state funds show de-
crease in both classes of banks as fol-
lows:
In secured banks ..........$ 21.533. 80
In unsecured banks ..... 6G9, 919 T6
Total increase in deposits in all Sc
cured banks, December to May, per re-
ports, 81 ,737, 1922
Total decrease of deposits in all I'M
secured banks, December to May, per
reports, 81, 100, S07. SO.
Total decrease of deposits of state
funds in both classes of banks last
period $691, 453.26.
$50 it is apparent that there are
S3,S2S.41 more individual deposits
In banks in Oklahoma than before the
depositors' guaranty law was passed
and the secured banks have been
beneficiaries.

Representative Lloyd Shows How the
Congress Gave Railroads That
Sum Improperly.

Representative James L. Lloyd, Of
Missouri, chairman Of the Democratic
national congressional committee, on
March 10, 1908, exposed the fragrant
theft of the peoples money through
the unfair weighing of mails when Of
fetal tests were made to determine
what compensation the railroads
should receive. He said:
'Mr. Chairman, in delivering my adj
dress few days since on postal con-
ditions, in discussing the interpreta-
ton of tie law as to the weighing Of
the mail, failed to state the law on
the subject, and wish to do so now:
The average weight to be ascer-
tanned, In every case, by the actual
weighing of the mails for such num-
Der Of successive working days, not
less than thirty, at such times after
June 80, 1873, and not less frequently
than once in every four years
later the time was changed to
ninety days. Otherwise the law has
not been changed to this date.
"Until March 2. 1907, the depart
ment required the mail to be weighed
for ninety days. Sunday was not con-
sidered, so that the weighing covered
period of one hundred and five days
instead of ninety successive days. In
other words, working days were con-
strued to mean week days Postmas-
ter General Cortelyou changed this In
depreciation which had been accepted
as correct for over thirty years and
issued the following order as his con-
struction of the law:
That when the weight Of mall Is
taken on railroad routes, the whole
number of days the mails are weighed
shall be used as divisor for obtain
ing the average weight per day.
"This required in effect, that, in
stead Of dividing the number Of work
Ing or week days In the weighing
period, the devisor should be the num-
Der Of days on which mail was actual
ly carried during the period. II II
was weighed one hundred and five
days. tie dlvisor to obtain the daily
weight was one hundred and five. II
the mail was not carried on Sunday,
the divisor would be ninety. This. as
you can readily see, would give less
compensation for carrying the full
week than for six days. for the ac-
cumulated mail would be practically
the same whether carried In six days
or In seven.
The present postmaster general,
seeing this predicament- issued another
order Of construction, known as order
412,' which is as follows:
That when the weight of mail is
taken on railroad routes tie whole
number Of days included in the weigh
ing period shall be used as divisof
for obtaining the average weight pei
day.
If the construction up to last year
was right, then there has been with
held from the railroads this year over
81. 700, 600 that Is theirs under the law.
II the present construction Ii the prop.
er one, the railroads have received
over S70,Oc0. 600 since 1880 that be
| longs to the people; so that whichever
view Is sustained money has been
