Bank Depositcrs Must Have Assur

The advocates of deposit insurance
believe they propose plan which will
perfectly cure this weakness and make
our bank system the best in the world
best both for the people and for
the banks themselves. They further
believe that any bank reform legisla,
ton which stops ut providing social
ed emergency currency whether secur'
ed or unsecured, would have no appre'
ciable good effect when panic condl'
lions again arise. since the new cur
rency would almost certainly be hoard
ed by banks and people as fast us Is
sued, under the impulse of general
fright, and the measure would thus
resemble an attempt to resist tor
nado with a feather. Nothing will pre-
vent or greatly mitigate future panics
of financial fear but absolute knowl'
edge on the part of bank depositors
that their money is safe.
The present system is scourge to
the banks themselves Every panic
reduces their net earnings by large
percentage and for a period of years
No one has more reason to dread a
money panic than has the bank man
ager. To him at least It is purgatory.

NOTABLE ASSEMBLY, or
ATHLETES.
fRr a ~. press AssocIatIon. B


NEW YORK. March Everything
is in readiness at Madison Square Gar.
den for the grand entrance this even.
ing Of the most notable assemblage of
athletic gladiators ever entered in any
indoor meet. The affair is the annual
carnival OF the New York Athletic
club and will doubtless be Witnessed
By vast crowd of spectators.
In addition to long programme of
relay races and handicap events. cev-
eral special races have been arranged
that attract the fastest runners In the
Amateur Athletic Union and the col
leges. The match race between ]. b.
Taylor. of Pennsylvania, the inter
collegiate champion, and Harry L.
Hillman, OF the New York Athletic
club. at 600 yards. is attracting spe-
cial attention.
Taylor admits that Hillman is prob
ably the fastest indoor middle-dis-
lance runner in the country and is
particularly anxious to take mis- meas
ure. Taylor has not been extended
this winter. and the meeting Of the
two cracks promises to furnish the
most sensational contest Of the sea
son.
The special 1.OnO yard run is an
other eIent that will provide a great
contest.
The other contestants include H.
P. Ramey. the Chicago Athletic Club
crack; Guy Haskins. of PENNSYLVANIA,
and Melvin w. Sheppard. Of the Irish
American Athletic Club.
Dan ]. Kelly. the western phenom-
enon, who is now located in New
York. has entered the broad jump,
who will be opposed by T. F. o'Con-
neil, OF the New York Athletic Club,
and probably Cook. the Cornell crack.
Kelly will also compete in the sixty
yard (scratch) dash. and will be OPP
posed by Nat CartwelI. the Pennsyl-
vania and intercollegiate Champion:
Charles ]. Seitz, the New York Ath-
letIc Club. and W. D. Eaton, of Cam

University, who captured the intercol-
legiate championship. and A. B. Shaw,

rels. entered in the sixty-yard hurdle
race, the event gives every indication
of being the greatest ever held in the
country. These three men are the best
hurdlers in active training. and new
record is expected to result from their
meeting. Garrels will also meet W. w.
Coe, the champion and record holder,
and Martin ]. Sheridan in the eight
pound shot.

WOULD GET OUT BIG VOTE
Hon. H. M. Jacoway Believes Democrats
 Should be Up and Doing.

Hon. H. M. Jacoway of Darda- nelle arrived here last night to fill his speaking appointments at Greenbrier, Holland, Mt. Vernon and Enola today and tomorrow in tht interests of Congressman Chas. c. Reid and the Democratic cleo lora1 ticket.
 Mir. Jacoway said last night that the Democrats ought to make a strong effort to get out every possi- ble vote on November 5. In the event of a result anything like close," said MT. Jacoway, "the Re- publicans would be quick to take advantage of any possible excuse for a contest, and if the G. O. P. should still hold a majority in con- gress, where the contest would have to be decided, it is not diff cult to imagine which party would have the advantage. <"
 MT. Jacoway speaks today and tonight at Greenbrier and Holland tomorrow afternoon at Mt. Vernon and tomorrow night at Enola. It is also probable that he will speak in this city on Thursday night, al though this appointment has not as yet been definitely determ- ined.
 If Congressman Reid should not be a candidate to succeed him. self, there is a probability of MT. Jacoway making the race for con- gress from this district two years from now. He has been prescott ing attorney in his judicial district for a number of years and is re- garded as one of the strongest young men in this section of the state.

News reached here this morning of the accidental killing of the fourteen-year-old son of Dick Williams at Fairbanks, in Cleburne county, Sunday. The boy left his home near Enders to visit his brother at Fairbanks, and while playing with a pistol, accidentally discharged the weapon, the bullet penetrating his forehead. The ac- cident occurred in the morning, but the boy remained conscious until his death in the afternoon. He was buried yesterday at Mount Pleasant cemetery.

Passengers Get Receipts.

Passengers who buy tickets at the Conway station for points within the state must pay three cents a mile, but they have the consolation of getting receipt for their money, if they desire. These receipts will be used in refunding the excess over two cents, in case the higher courts decide the two cent law valid. The company also requires the ticket clerk to take the name of each passenger buying a ticket.

HEAVY TAX FOR
 PICTURE SHOWS

County Judge J. A. Lea late yesterday afternoon made an order of county court requiring moving picture shows to pay county li- cense on all exhibitions given in the future. The tax is fxed at S5 for one day, S35 for three months or $Ioo for year.
 Whether or not a moving picture show is liable to pay a county li- cense is mooted question. All though Judge Lea recently re- ceived an opinion from Attorney General Kirby that they are so liable, it is stated that ill many Arkansas towns and cities they are not required to pay a county tax and they have not heretofore been taxed in this city.
 The following section from the state revenue laws are said by the attorney general to be applicable to moving picture shows:
 "The county court of each coun- ty shall fix the amount of county tax for each and every public ex- hibition given by any person or persons in any county in this state any part of the proceeds of which is for his or her personal profit, and such lisences may be fixed foi each exhibition, or monthly, guar terly or annually, in the discretion of the county court. Provided that this section shall not apply to theaters and opera houses in cities of the first and second class and incorporated towns
 The picture show men claim that their entertainments are thea. ters and thus not liable to tax, and they will probably take the matter to the higher courts.

west naming the president without the aid of the east.
 On the other hand, if the Dem ocratic nominee can make sufficient gains in the east to win New York and Maryland and can also receive a plurality in Indi ma, he can lose the following western states carried by him in 1896: Kansas, Idaho, Montana, South Dakota, and Washington, and by again carry ing the other states carried by him in 1896 and Oklahoma, he will be elected president by majority of one electoral vote. A victory in Ohio with this combination would increase his majority in the electoral college to 47.2
 In presenting these figures no account has been taken of such doubtful states as Connecticut, Delaware, New Jersey and West Virginia, which were, with the single exception of Connecticut in 1880, Democratic five times con- secutively from 1876 to 1896; nor of California, Illinois and Wis consin, which elected Democratic presidential elect ors in 1892 ;nor of a number of other states, the re- suits in which are always more or less a matter of uncertainty.
 The foregoing is not given as a prediction, but merely a combina- ton of possibilities based on results

EDITORIAL
HOW BRYAN CAN BE ELECTED.


 One answer which immediately suggests itself to the proposition embodied in the caption of this article is By getting enough electoral votes" But we propose to submit a few figures to show that it is not only possible but probable for the Commoner to win his third battle.
 It is we'll known that the great battle ground of the present cam paign is in the states of Indiana, New York and Ohio. If either candidate carries all of these states he is practically certain of election. But Indiana is practical ly conceded to the Democrats and New York and Ohio are swinging in the balance, the chances of either party being about even in each state.
 But one factor which is some times overlooked in computing the chances for Democratic success is MT Bryan S great strength in the west. It was dissatisfaction in his party in the east that defeated him in 1896 and in 1900; with this re- moved he would have easily been successful. To all appearances this lack of harmony among the the eastern Democrats does not exist in this campaign, and, on the other hand, similar conditions of disorganization seem to be present in the Republican party in these pivotal states.
 In 1896 Bryan carried the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska Nevada, North Carolina, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington and Wyo- ming, with a total present voting strength of IoS electoral votes. If he can carry these again, with the ad- dition of Oklahoma s7 votes conced- ed to him, and carry the state of New York, with 3o electoral votes it will give him the PAP electoral votes necessary to win, with two votes to spare.
 Kansas, however, may be Repub- lican this year, but Maryland which went against Bryan in 1896, will probably go for him this year. Substituting Maryland for Kansas in the combination above, Bryan would have exactly enough to win :, PAP votes.
 But Bryan can win without New | York, Maryland and Kansas, by carrying all other states voting for him in 1896, including Oklahoma, and carrying Ohio and Indiana. This combination would give him 243 electoral votes and indicates the possibility of the south and
