Burgess filled his pipe. He was
astride his hobby horse and ready for

the eager face, aflame with enthusi.

he was SO drawn to Burgess. Was 1t
merely charm of manner, good looks
or that personal magnetism which is
SO much harder to analyze? He liked
to hear the boy talk not for what
he said, but for the way he said it.

TAFT'S VIEWS On. POSTAL
SAVINGS BANKS and GUAR.
ANTEE OF BANK DEPOSITS.

In his speech at Minneapolis, on
postal savings banks and guarantee
of bank. deposits, Mr.. Taft said.e
"I wish to call your attention to-
day to a plank in the Republican
platform and to a plank in the DEM
ocratic platform which involve Inn
portant though not controlling issues
in. this campaign.
81 refer first to the plank in the
Republican platform that recon-
mends the adoption of postal savings
banks. The Republican convention
doubtless had in mind the bill which
had been introduced in the, senate
and reported by the senate committee
for passage, authorizing and direct
ing the postmaster general to re re
ceiye savings deposits at every mon
ey order Office, and at such other
Offices as he may designate, in sums
of S1.00 or more, and multipiles of
ten cents after the first dollar. !"
After narrating the provisions of
stht bill, Mr.. Taft said: 4
t.The objection has been made that
this is paternalism and socialism,
and is introducing the government
into the banking business. The OBJ
lection is without weight. If there
were savings banks in all the coun.
try as numerous and as easy of ac,
cess as they are in Massachusetts,
in the New Engand states and in
New York. it might be said that the
postal savings bank was an invasion
of territory properly occupied by
private enterprises, although ever
then it could be pointed out thai
the function performed by the pos.
tai savings banks is much more
comprehensive than that Of the or
dinary savings banks. But when i
4 is considered that in only eleven Of

and west Of the Rockies is thirty-fivt

that the private enterprise does no

ling to do what he could for the
success of of the party ticket.
He presents his claims to the
party and asks for fair and
careful consideration, and il
elected to faithfully discharge

Clean Politics.

We have heard a great deal
said from time to time about
clean politics, both from the
stump and also from the bench
and yet we haye not been able to
discover any marked improve
ment along that line IN particu-
lar.
1t is within the province of
our people to have clean politics
without the assistance of the
Court, as we'll as with it, in fact
it is almost impossible for our
Court to make clean politics
without the assistance of the
people.
There was never a community
in our knowledge where there
could not be found those who
cared nothing for the candidates
but were out for whatever there
might be offered for their suf-
frage. This element sometimes
control the balance of power, and
in the greed for office, men who
are, under ordinary circumstan-
ces, considered honorable and
respected citizens will barter
with these parasites and thus
polute their own character and
fair name for the sake of secur-
ing their support in obtaining
office.
All of our candidates who are
now before the people seeking
nominations claim to favor clean
politics, and we 81, cerly trust
that they will so deport them
selves that those who have so far
lost respect for this God-given
privilege of going to the polls
and casting their vote like men
will be treated with contempt
and forced to seek other fields for
their support.
We hope that every candidate
will enter into a solemn compact
individually to see to it that at
the regular election and also the
two approaching primaries that
the flOaters and vote sellers have
no part in it. That will be the
only way to secure clean politics
and the candidates can them
selves bring it about if they will
so to do.
We will patiently wait and
see if those who have talked SC
long and loud about clean poll
ties and fairness in election are
i'm earnestin what they say.

Copf. Golden Announces.

Elsewhere in this issue will be
found the official announcement
of Capt, b. B. Golden, of this
city, as a candidate before the
Republican primary for the Of
flee of Commemorative Attor-
ney of this the 9th Judicial dis
trict, to succeed the Hon. VIM.
Lewis.
Capt. Golden is too wellknown
throughout the district, for us to
attempt to say anything con-
cerning his ability, but suffice it
to so say that he is a lawyer Of
many years experience and prac-
tice and when there are deep
complication in the case both
sides are always eager to secure
his services and assistance.
His thorough knowledge of law
has brought him a lucrative prac-
tice. and he has remarkable sue
cess at the bar. He has partici-
pated in some of the most i'm
portant legal trial that our State
has ever witnessed and always
with marked degree of success.
No one can question his ability
to successfully discharge the du-
ties if elected to the position he
now seeks.
He places his claims in the
hands of the voters and will
abide by the results as express
ed at the polls of the primary.
