-Four years ago Iowa sent a dslsga-
ton of standpatters to q national COM
vention in Chicago as the original
Roosevelt crowd. Mr.. j. w. Blythe
voted for Iowa on the resolutions COM
mittee and voted the state against the
Roosevelt platform. This year the
same kind Of bunch are disgracing
their state before the eyes Of the ma

If standpat success In one campaign

is the tie that binds progressives to
send toSthe legislature republicans in

Let's reason together.

twenty saloons and two social clubs

twenty drug stores have been prohibit

putie. Of Next Administration.

The function of the next administra
tion is not to be spectacular in the en-
actment of great statutes laying down
new codes of morals or asserting new
standard of business integrity, but its
work lies in the details OF furnishing
men and machinery to aid the hand of
the executive in making the supervision
Of the transactions (of corporations) so
close. SO careful, SO constant. that the
business men engaged in 1t may know
promptly when they are transgressing
the line Of lawful business limitations,
and may be brought up standing when
ever this occurs. and may be prosecuted
when the violations Of law are fragrant
and defiant, and promptly restrained
and penalized.-Judge Taft, at ST.

LET'S CAT OUT OF BAG.
German Manufacturers to Flood
America With Goods II Bryan
Should bo Elected.

The following cablegram to the New
York Sun under date of Oct. 8 shows
what German manufacturers expect to
do should Bryan be elected:
Berlin. Oct. 3.-The gladiatorial
fight between President Roosevelt and
Mr.. Bryan has suddenly aroused Ger

The German manufacturers evidently
are shrewd observers. II Mr.. Bryan
should be elected and his downward
revision" doctrine with ultimate free
trade be carried into effect we would
soon be flooded with German-made
goods Of every description. and our fac
tories could go out of business.
Protective Tarin Theory.
On the other hand, should Mr.. Taft
be elected our friends the German man.
ufacturers would not be able to break
through the wall of protection which
would be maintained for the benefit of
American labor.
The protective-tariff theory as de
fined in the Republican platform, and
as adhered to by Mr.. Taft, is that in
order to maintain high wages In this
country there must be "the imposition
OF such duties as will equal the differ
ence between the cost OF production at
home and abroad, together with rea-
sonable profit to American industries. -
Mr.. Taft points out that the cost of pro
ducton is determined chiefly by these
three elements: ''The cost of material.
the cost Of labor and the Interest on
capital, or what is known as the manu-
facturer's profit"
"The normal operation of protection,
where competition has free scope" Mr..
Taft asserts. sis to lower the cost Of
producing and SO to reduce prices 10
the public. AS consequence, after ten
years operation of a particular sched-
ule. it ought to result that the cost OF
production in this country Is made less
and therefore that the difference be
tween the cost Of production in this
country and abroad Is less. and there
fore that the duty ought to be reduced

"I have heard 1t discussed, and l
think 1t feasible for dishonest man
or set of men to organize $4,000
bank, then create a lot of fictitious de-
posits as the proceeds of lot OF dunn
my notes, then let the bank close Its
doors and call on the guaranty fund to
pay these deposits. Naturally, the de-
posits will be credited to men in no
way identified with the note itself.
I'VE had one bank failure in my town
for something like $1,00O.OOO. This
would have taken more than five pes
cent assessment on the deposits OF the
state banks of Oklahoma. Supposing
bank had 100000 deposits on capital
stock of $4,000. Fifty per cent. or one
half Of its capital stock, would be con-
fiscated to make up the one loss. 1t is
more dangerous to the honest, small
banker than to the large one, because
the large one can prepare himself to
wea ther the storm.
Under guise Of this law an attempt
Is being made to put all banks on an
exact equality. The man who has spent
lifetime in building up an honorable
reputation is sacrificed for the sake OF
making some poor. incompetent, dis
honest banker exactly equal to him. it
is mistake to suppose that sacrificing
the assets of the solvent bank is going
to prevent the rascal from failing.
There is more money In 1t for him to
fail, under this law, than there will be

IL you look conditions squarely in
the fact you see that what labor wants
first of all is work, and that is depend
ent upon the country's prosperity. 1t Is
hard to protect the prosperity of the
country and cut out abuses; hard to
provide schemes that won't hurt busi-
ness and will cure evils. 1t Is hard to
do things right, but we have got to take
the time and labor to do them right.
In answer to a question l put to him
the other day Bryan said that an ounce
Of remedy was worth pound of cure
That is a fallicy; an ounce of his rem
edy would kill the patient. What we
need is the expression of the sOnnd
thought and good judgment of the peo-
pie upon which we can depend. l have
had time for two years in New York
fighting the fight and l know it is hard
work. You can't have a flash Of genius
and change it all in twinkling. What
you have to have is work-hard, con-
scientious work, intelligent and thought
full, as we'll as determined, to make
remedies square with the exigencies of
our life.
When we consider everything, what
we want is to perfect the upbuilding Of
our country and promote a steady, for

party and our great future President,

Bank. witAo.. Capital.

Two men recently started bank of
$4,000 capital, in Oklahoma City, Il
town of forty or fifty thousand inilab-
itants. When asked how they expected
to succeed with a bank Of $4,000 cap
ital in a city of that size, one Of them
replied: what do we care about cap
ital, the state is In partnership with
us?" The president Of the First Ma
tional Bank of Perry was also mer-
chant and failed in business and was
compelled to go through bankruptcy.
Naturally he had to resign his connec-
tion with the First National Bank. lie
new has taken out a charter and is
president of state bank in Oklahoma.
One man, when prohibition closed his
saloon, quit the saloon business and
started up a bank and has thirty or
forty thousand on deposit.
There can be but one deduction
from this enormous rush for starting
new state banks. They are being start
ed by irresponsible, inexperienced
men. and, instead OF indicating a solid
growth for the state of Oklahoma, they
indicate an era Of irresponsible and
wildcat work.
..One Of the dangerous evils Of this
Guaranty Law is that 1t guarantees
credit deposits as well Is cash depos-
Its. Now. you all know that not more
than One-tenth of a banks daily depos-
its are In actual cash. Nine-tenths are
credit deposits, are either checks and
drafts or proceeds of loans. When
these credit deposits, that are made as
the proceeds Of loan, are guaranteed,
the guaranty certainly reaches to the
guaranteeing of the loan itself, for the
reason that the deposit is merely the
result Of the loan.

cause he is the broadest and the most

cause he will carry the spirit Of the con-
stitution of the United States In his

reasons also for sending Taft to the
White House. The American people
will undoubtedly show on November 9
that they have come to that conclusion.
