who is d philosopher by virtue of his
age, wisdom and temperament. in dis
cussing the guarantee bank deposit
plank of the democratic platform,
makes the following valuable practi-
cal contribution to the subject:
Hon. Don c. McMullen. senator
elect from HillSborough county, is
studying the guarantee bank deposit
plank in the democratic platform
with view of having it enacted into
a law in Florida. To one who has
gone through two or three bank fail
ures, as has been the ill-luck of the
editor of this paper the law looks
mighty good. Indeed, it has a more
inviting look and a sweeter flavor than
peaches ond cream Had it been a
law in Florida all along many a man
would have been many a dollar better
on and instead OF depositing in tin
cans, hollow trees and bed ticking,
these deposits would have found their
way TO the banks and entered into
the channels OF trade. IL seems to Us
that ii is the best law ever suggested.
This view of the case brings the
merits of the issue right home to the
average nan and illustrates the sub
stantial benefits that Will accrue te
the bank depositors If the democratic
platform contention shall be sustained
by legislation. The people are en-
titled to absolute protection for their
money when they put it in bank and
it is the business of the law to fur
nish that protection.

BY James Hay, Jr.. in Philadelphia

If all the things that are said about
Joseph Benson Foraker are true the
senior senator from Ohio is not doing
great work in this campaign. If
half the reports regarding his conduct
are founded on fact he presents one
of the saddest pictures of political
treachery in this generation
An his tour of Ohio Judge Taft has
heard many stories of the manner in
which Foraker is working against
him and the republican cause in gen.
eral. This man who was wont to
scorn and despise all Democrats has
come TO be regarded by them as one
of their greatest allies. This senator
who has again and again commanded
the support of Ohio republicans by
his utterances of party faith and party
greatness is pointed out as disloyaI,
menace and discredit.
Outwardly he is calm, quiescent
taking neither interest nor part in
the desperate fight republicans are
making to insure their success in the
state. Politically he is recluse, who
refuses TO receive newspaper men and
declines to make any statement con.
corning his attitude in the campaign.

The demand in the democratic plat

its is proving a very strong card in
the east as well as the west. MI
Kern, the democratic nominee for
vice-president, is emphasizing that is
sue now in his New England speech
making tour and is presenting the
question with force and clearness
The demand for such a guarantee has
come to stay until it meets with at
firmative response in legislative en-
actment. Mr. Kern puts it in a nut
shell when he says:
THE Democratic party insists that
the banks of the country, through the
payment of small tax for assessment
which will be scarcely felt by any oi
them, shall provide a guarantee FUND
as the basis of security for depositors
Most conservative bankers and bust
ness men of the country approve this
plan not only from the standpoint o.
the banker, but that of the public.
mo valid objection as yet has beer
urged against the proposed system o.
making depositors secure. The ma
tional government and state and mu
nicipal governments in depositins
their money with banks require secur
ity. Why should not this government
hold as tender regard for the security
