Last Thursday night pretty
little wedding took place at the
church. The parties were Mr.. Mil
Short, Of Wilbur, and Miss Elite
McKinster, of this place. The esre-
mony was performed by Rev. Kelley
Fraley. The bride was dressed IN
dainty blue and never looked more
lovelier. The groom is a young man
of good habits and well and favor
ably known and liked by all who
know him. The bride is a highly re-
spected young lady, and deserves a
good husband, and no doubt Mr..
Short will fill the position That
they may have a long and happy
life with Gods approval, and may
their path be strewn with flowers, IS
the wish Of their many friends.
Mrs, Mary Hayes is no better.

THE RIGHT OF A CITIZEN TO BE
HEARD.

Under the federal constitution all
persons born in the United States and
subject TO its jurisdiction are citizens
Of this country. The only natives who
are not citizens are Indian born under
the dominion of a tribe and hence not
born subject to the jurisdiction of the
United States. A Chinese born in the
United States is by virtue of the fact
of birth a citizen, and he has u right.
to depart from or return to this coun-
try as he may please.
A question involving this principle
arose in the case of a Chinese who was
prevented by immigration officials in
San Francisco from entering that port.
He claimed TO be a citizen by birth
and therefore entitled to enter. But
the officials refused to allow him to
prove his citizenship, and out of this
arose a Ease which finally reached the
national supreme court. That tribu-
nal has just decided that the applicant
for admission should have been given
a hearing before some competent
court.
This is an interesting and important
assertion of the rights of citizens
which every man should welcome,
whatever may be his views respecting
Chinese immigration. The right of all
citizens to a hearing before the courts
of the country is one of the most
sacred they possess. and it is strange
that at this stage of the worlds devel-
opment any American official should
have overlooked it for a single mo-
ment.-Denver Republican.

sumner of the presence of certain harm
full drugs in medicines" The law re-
quires that the amount of chloroform,
opium, morphine, and other habit form,
ing drugs be stated on the label of each
bottle. The manufacturers of Cham.
| e%rlain's Cough Remedy have always
claimed that their remedy did not con-
tain any of these drugs, and the truth
OF this claim is now fully proven, as
no mention of them is made or the la
lei. This remedy is ont only one of the
safest, but one of the best in use for
coughs and colds. It's value has been
proven beyond question during the
many years it has been in general use.

the concentration of power made pos
sible by such abuses continues and in
creases and it is made manifest that
under the system of individuallsm and
private property the tyranny and OPP
preston of an oligachy of wealth can
not be avoided, then socialism will trl-
umph and the institution of private
property will perish. The administra-
ton has been thus far successful In
showing that dangers from individual
ism can be effectively regulated and
that abuses in the exercise of private
property a be restrained. Thus a
great conservative victory has been

the face of recent experience. With
the national banks thus providing
absolute protection to depositors, all
other banking efforts would soon be-
come equally secure or retire from
business, as a matter of course. Can
ada has practically such a law, and
losses to depositors from failed banks
there in forty years have been next
to nothing.
Money is only a symbol of value.
Its object is to circulate in barter
and trade. L is neither food nor
clothing. People do not want to be
bothered with large sums of it about
their persons or homes. The banks
are the natural %custodians of money
and to them it will be intrusted if ouI
citizens are sufficiently insured. Hun
dreds of millions of dollars would flow
back into the legitimate channels of
trade if the next congress would auth
oriZe this trifing tax and forever guar,
antee depositors against loss.
With this law in force there would
be less demand for postal savings

TAFT FOR MORE PAY.

Secretary Taft stands for the IL
crease of the pay of the private sol
der. He also urges the pressing need
for officers to replace the large mum,
her now detailed on recruiting duty
or as instructors in educational insti.
t%utions, such as the state universities
His report begins with a formidable
presentment of figures showing the
rapid decrease in the strength of the
regular army in recent years Cthe loss
last year being no less than 4,42S
men). The secretary declares that,
while many reasons have been ad-
vanced to explain the difficulty, a sufi-
cient one is to be found in the made
Quacy of army pay.
This difficulty is especially notice
able in the coast defense, and where
the service requires a high degree Of
mechanical skill, and the training e
their acquisition of a considerable
knowledge of electricity and a skill in
assembling and manipulating various
kinds of electrical apparatus in general
use in the commercial world. The re
suit is that by the time these men have
served one enlistment they have at
tanned a proficiency which commands
a much higher remuneration in civil
employment than it does in the army,
and they do not re-enlist.

If every man, woman and child &C

absolutely safe and %inviolate when
deposited in a properly authorized
bank, then a long step would be taken
toward mental composure IN conse-
Quent peace N happiness.
Much has beer said and written about
elastic currency and an adjustable
money supply" The practical thing
is to create and maintain a hopeful,
trustful, and loyal public sentiment
in the body polite.
A government hat will not protect
the weak and defenseless through its
legally authorized banking system

citizens. 1t goes without saying that

failures must not be allowed to suffer

Instances of this kind.
In his native city of 10000 people
a national bank failed, having SOM
five hundred depositors; many o.

In several instances old people, who
had disposed of their homesteads pre-
paratory to removing had all theil

thus left penniless.

the opinion that the nation stood spon

What these innocent people suppos
ed the national banking law to be
regarding depositors, is just what the
law should be and can be.
In connection with that incident
and on the subject of government
insurance of deposits, Comptroller
Ridgely wrote: In my annual report
to congress in 1902 was incorporated
an estimate of the average annual
rate per cent of loss to creditors Of
iDsolvent national banks, based on the
average deposits in active national
banking associations, which was
shown to be eighty-three one thou
sandths of one per cent"
In other words, a tax at that rate
(S3 cents per $1,000 on the average
deposits of active national banking
associations, would have been stuff,
cient to make good the losses sustain
ed by creditors of insolvent banks.
By a test vote of national bank presi
dents it is shown that a generous
majority are in favor of paying this
tax and thus afford depositors this
absolute security n mental com
fort. The opposition is mainly con-
fined to the large city banks. Let
them publish their own reasons in

1t now seems probable there will be
no currency legislation by his con
gress save a possible emergency cir
culation law. This measure will pro,
vide for the issuance of $3.50, 900, 0OG
in bank circulation, based upon what
are known as savings bank securities
and to be taxed at the rate of six per
cent, This heavy tax would make it
impossible for the emergency money to
stay in circulation very long, as the
banks would retire it at the first OPP
portunity. A law to guarantee depos,

the plan has been tried out in Okla.
