On the Colorado Midland railroad, be-

working some of the negroes who believe
in being courteous to each other always,
says the Denver Post. When the
through Western train leaves Denver, it
carries sleepers and a diner. After eachs
meal has been served the negro porters
on the 4sleepers go into the diner and eat
at a table over in one corner. They are
served by the negro walters. When the
meal is over, the porters always tipfthe
walters just as passengers do. The wait
ers smile, thank the porters and put the
money in their pockets. However, be
fore the diner is taken off, the porters
come around and brush the walters off,
receiving for their work the tips they
paid the walters for serving their meals.
Thus ~courtesies are exchanged and no
body is poorer through them.

MR.. BRYAN'S OPINIONS

The plan of guaranteed bank Deposit
has probably found favor, among all
classes of people and irrespective of
political affiliation, more rapidly than
any other public question.
The new state of Oklahoma has al
redy enacted a law taxing state banks,
the fund thus accumulated to be used in
paying the ~depositors of any state bank
that from any cause becomes unable to
meet its obligations. A special session
of the Kansas legislature has been called
for the purpose of enacting legislation
similar to the Oklahoma plan. The
governor of Nebraska is considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of calling a special session OF
the legislature on account of the growing
belief among the people that protection
to bank depositors in the form of state or
federal guarantees of theisadeposits will
stop the boarding of gsohey, bring into
circulation sufficient drrency to conduct
the business of the country, and prevent
a recurrence of such disastrous panics as
the one through which we are now passing
Mr.. Bryan has been an advocate of a
law guaranteeing deposits in state and
national banks since 1898. The legisla-
ture of Ohio has adopted a joint resolu-
IlOu lUtlLHS M1. D1ydA w 0AoAC@o sS
members in joint session February IL,
1908, on the subject of Guaranteed Bank
Deposits. .agss
Mr.. Bryan, in discussing the tariff
question, insists that residents of the
United States should be permitted to
buy homemade goods at home at as low
a price as the foreigner can buy American
made goods abroad. He also insists
that our government should be by and
for the people as a whole, rather than by
for the trusts, and administered in the
interest of a few beneficiaries of the trust
system. He believes that national legis-
lation for the purpose of better regulation
and control of interstate commerce and
common carriers should supplement state
legislation, and not be a substitute Tor
state legislation.
Mr.. Bryan's paper, The Commoner,
reflects his opinions each week on ques-
tons of public Importance and in its coli
umns may also be found his magazine
articles, public speeches, addresses and
lectures, which are referred to in the
daily press from day to day.
If you are interested in political Ques-
tons, if you desire to keep in touch with
the progress Of the campaign and to read
Mr.. Bryan's campaign speeches, send
sixty cents to The Commoner, and the
paper will be sent to you each week until
the close of the next presidential cam
paign.
Postofice money order, currency, or
stamps will be accepted. Only sixty
cents. Address The Commoner, Lincoln,
