Mr.. Bryan's Speech on Guaranty
of Deposits

Mr.. Bryan delivered his spee
on the guaranty of bank deposit.
at Topeka, Kansas, before a large
audience. Mr.. Bryan spoke in
part as follows:
"Why not make the depositOr
secure? TIE United States govern
nent requires the deposit of spe.
cific security when 1T intruste
money to a national bank, although
1t can examine the bank at any
time; the State requires security
when it deposits money In a bank
thu county requires security and
the city requires security; even
the banks require security from
the officials who handle money
Why should the depositor be left
to take his chances?
"Not only is the depositor with
out protection, but the security
given to nation, State, county and
city lessons his security. They
are preferred creditors; they have
a mortgage on the giltedged assets,
and the depositor must get along
as best he can with what remains. |
Why are the interests of depositorf
thus neglected.
GA bank asks deposits on the
theory that the depositor is sure of |
the return Of his money, and the
laws ought to make the fac ts con
form to the theory. The deposi-
tor, the community and the bank
er himself will be benefited by leg
islation which will give to every
depositor the assurance that that
which is committed to the keeping
of the bank will be available to
meet his needs at any time. Such
IL not the case to-day, for while
all banks are reasonably secure,
they are not absolutely so. This
statement can be verified in sever
al ways.
81 submit that in this effort to
make all banks secure, the Demo.
cratic party is the champion of the
farmer, the laboring man, the
business man, the professional
man, and the champion Of the
banker as well. No class is out ,
eide of the benefits of this law, for
10 bsstows it's blessings upon al"

EDITOR GAzBTTE:-Threshlng in oul
community is getting along toward q
finish. The wheat crop is nothing to
brag Of in either quality or quantity. II
the farmers will hold their crops and
market them gradually, a good price
may be secured.
Wont this help the poor old thresher-
man that runs in the hot summer days

tank and extra brldge2 ., yes, MIR.
Editor our honorable Board of Super
visors say that Uncle Silas must carry
an extra bridge. for what we fail to I'M
derstand unless the bridge builders ale
not getting enough orders from our
county. The starting and stopping
will wreck the best bridge ever built.
If you don't believe so, ask a competent
engineer. How many times have YOU
ever seen train Of cars stop on
bridge? How many times did you ever
hearof itf There is surely something
wrong when it does occur Why Is it
that heavy train will cross a bridge |
hat is so weak that one-half of the |
weight would break it down If standing |
On it? What can be gained in such un-
necessary work?
Take the bridge just completed at
he Alone Mills, which is about 2G3 |
eet long. This requires the stopping
md starting Of an engine 81 times and
he handling of about 900 feet of lum
Ter, and the time consumed about one
our and forty-five minutes Now this
5 not long to block travel on one Of
ur expensive bridges, is it? Everybody
rust wait ca Uncle Sias to got his
ridge unloaded and get 1t placed, cross
yer and reload and get out of the WY.
Mr.. Editor, If our bridge builders
lnnot put us up structures that will
AIRY our loads, let us 90 back to the
Id wooden bridge. Is it not high time
lat our road officials were doing some
ling to repair instead OF putting an
ltra burden on the tax-paying tnresh- :
man and farmer, who Is compelled to Y
ny extra toll And our county still ma r.
mber enough to put up culverts that I
hi Il l.. Al
'er our roads. +
Our law is to fine any one for going c
'er bridge faster than walk with
horse. Now, to balance this up, put u
{ same fine for every engineer that /
Dps his rig after entering a bridge or &c
is on "a culvert. His danger is enough
W, why do we want to make it more?

Good News from the Democrats

EDITOR GAZETTE of late tn

of the Republican party In Yves
Virginia.
No longer than last week. in tn,
ancient and renowned city Of
Wheeling, there was pulled off the
greatest mill of the season he.
tween a United States Senator by
the name of Scott and a State
Senator by the name Of Smith,
the casus belli growing out of the
friction of the Republican State
politics.
When Mr.. Bill Taft went roll
licking across the country from
the Hot to the White Sulphur
Springs with Tate Sterrett's four
in hand, little did he know what
even a night was going to bring
forth, Tor scarcely had the giant
proportions of the late Secretary
of War ceased to lead in the latest
waltz when be was confronted by
the two contending Republican
political factions of West Virginia
with the proposition to settle their
differences.
Mr.. Taft has done wonders in
his life, beginning with the labor
riots in Ohio, and then with the
Colombian revolt that was so es-
sential to the Panama canal, and |
the wonders that he has performed |
in the Philippine Islands, have al
most gained for him the reputation
of working miracles. But, when
this West Virginia Republican
middle was submitted to him at
the White Sulphur, after wrest-
ling most earnestly with the mon
ster for two thirds of the night,
the late Secretary gave up in dis
gust.
This is the night that Candi-

when she saw him. She stood in the
show window, among the models, her
handbag concealed by the folds of
her costly gown.
The afternoon waned. But the
steady flow of people continued. She
remained as motionless as possible,
and did not fear recognition, for it
was costume and hat which we're de-
voured and no more. Several times
people she knew halted, but their
momentary glance caused her no I'M
easiness.
Constance felt as if she had
jumped out Of the fire into the fry
ing-pan, for she knew that by now
every exit in the store was being
watched for a person answering her
description. She was certain the de-
tectiye could give every detail Of
what she wore. While thus rumi-
mating, her eyes wandered to one side
of the show window. They became
riyeted upon, oh, JOY, a door.
To turn the knob and look beyond
now. When the front Of the window
th9threshold was the vital point
was comparatively free from gazing
pedestrians she took a step or two,
her hand shot out and the door
swung open. She looked into the
gloom beyond, only to discern that it
was a very box of. room, holding
two or three costume dummies. She
thought first to step into this, close
the door quickly, and then see if
there was not a way leading some
where to the street. But her alert
mind now began to work again, and
instead of entering the small room
alone she jerked one of the elegantly
attired models in with her.
II was Q miniature ddTrooss55nlg-Iooln.
But Constance was desperate, and
"any old thing would do. The
model wore a stylish long coat over a

the hat, draped it over her own, al.
lowing it to fall gracefully over hel

when the fair was opened by a big
parade which excited the enthusiasm

cession was passing one of the prin-

drum suddenly ceased and it embar-
raised the marchers for quite a
while. Finally the drum major
went back and asked the bass drum
