TWO DEMOCRATIC STATE CON.
MENTIONS,

The democratic state central COM
mittee at meeting held in Des Moines
last Friday, decided to hold two state
conventions this year, the first one at
Cedar Rapids on March Goth, and the
second one at Sioux City on July 2.
The first convention is called for the
purpose of selecting delegates to the
national democratic convention at Dem
YER, and the second one is the regular
state convention. Des Moines made a
hard fight to secure the conventions,
but that city has been gaining an unen-
viable reputation for their excessive
charges at hotels and restaurants, and
there has been a merited kick over
giving that city any more conventions
although it is the most accessible place
for state conventions to be held, but
the people are getting tired of being
robbed every time they go to Des
Moines.
Hon. Claud r. Porter, of Centerville,
was selected as temporary chairman of
the first convention, and Hon. Tim G..
Clary, the democratic representative
from Chickasaw county az temporary
chairman for the second convention.
The representation was fixed on the
basis of two delegates from each county
and one additional delegate for each 200
votes and major fraction thereof cast
for Porter for governor at the last state
election. Under this representation
Decatur county will be entitled to IL
delegates.
The committee also discussed plans
for organization throughout the state
and it is proposed to have full county
ticket nominated in every county in the
state. Encouragement was expressed
that in view of the republican factional
fight there was possibility that q
democratic legislature can be elected
especially if Cummins should defeat
Allison at the republican primary cleo
tion.
The committee before adjourning
adopted the following resolution, which
was wired to Mr.. Bryan:
Believing that the Waterloo couven-
zion correctly reflected the sentiment
of the Iowa democracy by unanimously
indorsing William ]. Bryan for the
presidency in 1908 the democratic state
central committee of Iowa hereby I'M
qualitiedly reindorses the great Ne
braskan for the same high and honor
able Office

MAKE ALL BANKS SAFE.

Mr.. James B. Forgan, the prominent
Chicago banker, has unintentionally
given the advocates Of the guaranteed
bank slogan which they will be quick
to utilize. He says that he is opposed
to the guarantee of bank deposits be-
cause, "it would make all banks safe,
one just as good as another, and for
that reason man would go to any
bank with his money" He claims that
it would reduce all bankers to the same
level and there would be absolutely no
reason why anyone should not drop in
to the first bank he came to to deposit
his money. Why should not all banks
be safe? Is it more important that the
big banks should have an advantage
over the little depositors and the bust
ness community should be protected
from the bank failures? 1t is difficult
to conceive Of more selfish argument
than that which Mr.. Forgan presents,
and no one can be expected to endorse
his argument without putting the inter-
est Of the big banker above the welfare
of the community and the country at
large. The time is little opportune
for Mr.. Forgan to speak so lightly Of
the interests of the depositor. 1t is
only little while ago that the big
banks as we'll as the smaller ones had to
suspend payment on checks, and the
Chicago banks even were issuing
cashiers checks. Why not look at the
question from the depositor for awhile
and give him voice in the determin-
alton OF our banking policy. Mr.. For
gan says that the stockholders who
supply tho capital are liable for double
the amount of the capital subscribed
and that "taey have been accustomed
to got for supplying this guaranty to
depositors all the profits that can be
made in the business" Sometimes,
however, the hundred per cent liability
is not sufficient to protect depositors,
and after all the stockholders have Sc
cured "all tho profits that can be made
in the business" they leave the deposit
tors to hold the bag, but the end of this
onesided bank policy is near at hand.
The bankers did more than they ex-
pected to do whom they stopped pay
mont on checks, they taught depositors
the need Of better guarantees, and now
the depositors in the various states and
in the nation are insisting that banks
shall be made so good that man will
not have to spend his time watching
the officials or lose sleep for fear his
deposits may disappear.
Make all banks SAFE" is good cam
paign cry, and it will prove an effective
one il the republican leaders prefer to
follow the advice of the big banks and
ignore the interests of depositors. The
Commoner.

Can Eczema be cured?
Some physicians say Eyes"
Some say "No."
The real question is, "What is meant
by Eczema?' If you mean those scaly
eruptions, those diseases which make
their first appearance, not at birth, but
years afterward, and perhaps not until
middle age-then there can no longer
be any question that these forms of
Eczema are durable.
Simple vegetable oil Of wintergreen,
mixed with other vegetable ingredients,
will kill the germs that infest the skin.
Apply this prescription to the skin, and
instantly that awful itch is gone. The
very moment the liquid is applied, that
agonizing, trantalizing itch disappears,
and continued applications of this e1-
ternal remedy soon cure the disease.
We carry in stock this oil of winter
green properly compounded into ID. d.
Prescription. While we are not sure
that it will cure all those cases OF skin
trouble which are inherited. we posi-
lively know that this D. D. D. Prescrip-
tion, when ever rightly used, will cure
every last case Of genuine Eczema or
other skin trouble, which did not exist
at birth.
We know this. Anyway you, yourself
will know that D. D. D. Prescription in
stantly takes away the itch the moment
it is applied to the skin. L. P. Van

v. McGinnis of Leon is going to
run against Pete Hepburn out in the
Eighth district again this autumn, and
he is said to be mighty bright fellow.
We have often heard of him, but do not

been fraud in congress as far as the

cerned. Washington Democrat.

IL the candidates for sheriff in De

If the candidates for sheriff in De-
catur county get any more numerous it
will be necessary to import people to
vote for them if any of the candidates
secure the required 35 per cent of the
votes. 1t is passing strange that SO
many candidates should be in the field
for the sheriff's Office in both parties,
while for some of the other county
offices there seems to be a dearth of
candidates, no one seeming to want to
make the race for the Office.

Twenty EIGHT Chicago House
Maids IN Panic

Chicago, Nov. 6.Twenty eight
housemaids employed at the Michael
Reese hospital. but sleeping in a house
nearby, had thrilling escapes from a
fire which attacked the house early to-
day. Three OF them escaped with
slight cuts and bruises on their feet
when they jumped from a second story
window; four were partly overcome by
smoke and were led from the place by
rescuers, while others, clad only In
night gowns, left the building without
difficulty They owed their escape to
the presence of mind of Miss Bessie

CANADA TO

MiLNER SAYS DOMINION ALONE
MUST DETERMINE HER
FUTURE.

Montreal, Nov. 6.-Lord Miner made
the last speech he win make in Canada
during his stay in the dominion, to the
Canadian club. 1t was, he said, an
appeal to Imperialism of the higher
type. He said In part:
There is one remark have heard
from Canadians, not from Englishmen,
and that is that the public life in Cam
ada is unattractive because there are
no big issues.
THAT seems to me to be an extraor-
dinary point of view. No big issues.
The next few years are going to de-
termine whether Canada will remain
part OF the British empire The de-
cision of that question rests with Can
adams alone. No external compuIsion
could be. certainly none ever would
be, exercised to influence 1t. 1t rests
with them alone-the decision OF that
question. and with that question per-
haps the decision OF the fate of the
empire as whole. Even In it's badly
organized condition the empire has the

Those regarding this as possible de-
clare that they have assurance from
the president himself that he would

the same hesitancy about entering the
senate that he would feel With some
one in the White House with whom his
relations were not as intimate as they
are with Taft. His general attitude
has been adverse to entering the SEN
ate because he has felt that as mem
ter of that body, he would be called
upon to exercise his successor in the
presidency, and this he would feel a
delicacy about doing.
Has Expressed No Desire.
He has said however, that, knowing
Taft as he does know him and agree
Ing with him In all essentials as he
does. he Is confident that there would
pot be any occasion for antagonism.
He has not gone to the extent at any
time of indicating that he would desire
