Itappears to be an assured fact
that congress will pass some kind
of postal savings bank law, and
fortunately even those who doubt
are still permitted to hope that it
will prove beneficial. There is no
serious objection to the deposit
system, but there is much appre-
hension as to how the government
will dispose of funds deposited in
such banks. The natural tenden.
cy will be to take the funds to the
money centers, and if this is done
the rural districts will have a kick
coming. Sen. Cummins Of Iowa
will seek to have a provision in
serted in the law permitting state
as we'll as national banks to be
made government repositories.
This will belp some if it can be
made operative.

The insurance of bank deposits
is one of the important matters
that will come before the next
South Dakota legislature. AS both
the republican and democratic
platforms declared for such a law
it will be necessary to do some
thing along that line. The plan
that is now proposed is to create a
department of insurance, probably
attached to the Office of state ex-
aminer. The state will then in
sure the deposits of any bank that
is prepared to pass the required
examination. This would not bind
the state to insure all bank depos-
its, nor compel any bank to place
its deposits under state guaranty,
but would give an opportunity to
any state bank which could pass
the required examination, and de-
sired to do so, to avail itself of the
opportunity. The advocates OF
this law believe that the prestige
given to any bank that placed it's
deposits under state protection
would be a sufficient incentive to
make it desirable for all to join.

A year ago Fl. J. Sconce and
Taylor Garlough, of VermillionI
county, ILL.,, purchased a quantity
Of seed corn in Indiana. In the
shipment was a freak ear which,
instead Of the ordinary cob, was
composed Of a core Of husk, the
grains being neatly wrapped upon
the soft foundation like peas in
pod.
Mr.. Sconce was impressed with
the novelty of the find and decided
to plant all the kernels found on
the freak ear. To his surprise the
ears produced this fall were found
to be exact reproductions of the
single ear. He has decided to plant
more of the corn next year and will
endeavor to improve upon it. He,
believes that there is more to it.
than freakishness. The ears pro.
duced this year yielded as much
corn as those provided with cob,
and the kernels were large and SOL
i'd. The ears we're we'll filled, kerr
nels even growing among the silk.
The freak ears were placed upon
exhibition at a county fair at Sidell
and attracted much attention. AS
a result of this discovery the corn
cob may disappear.-Platte En-.

WHAT TO WEAR
AT SEASHORE
Bargains Help Late-GOerS
in Purchases.

NEW YORK, July 14-(SpeciaD-
The seashore season is in full swing
and preparations for seashore outings
are occupying the attention of that
vast majority for whom whole sum-
mer out of town is an impossibility.
Of course, the forehanded among wo-
men have had their summer outfits
ready ever since the spring season Of
shopping and sewing, but there is
still some connection in home sew
ing rooms and dressmaking ateliers,
and the late season bargains in the
shops attract many shoppers.
AS a matter of fact. these bar
gains are important in the calcula-
tions of women whose dress allow
ance needs careful fostering. ii one
is not going away for a vacation be-
fore midsummer, one can economic
very considerably by late-season
shopping, and even many Of the wo-
men who go to country and shore re-
sorts not too far from town often
count upon running into New York
for wardrobe reinforcements after the
accepted season is over and merch-
ants and dressmakers are bent upon
getting rid of their stock at greatly
reduced prices.
There are still innumerable pretty
things to be seen in the shops, but
the shore resorts are now the places
where one can CLEAN understandings
of the new modes and ideas for smart
toilets. A day or two spent on hotel
and casino yerandas, beach, board
walk, &C.. makes the average wo-
man feel as one New York woman
expressed it, like going home and
having her clothes all made over.

MANUFACTURE COTTON CLOTHS

That the United States should be
the great cotton cloth producing
country of the world would seem to
be self-evident But instead of that
England sells hundreds of yards of
cotton cloth to one sold by United
States manufacturers in foreign
markets.
In commenting on this state of
affairs, the Washington Post dis
closes incidentally a trick worked by
England in exchanging it's manufac-
tured cloths for coffee from Brazil
and in turn swapping the coffee at
New Orleans for cotton bales. The
conclusion reached by the Post is one
to commend itself to every cotton
grower
The Post says:
In 1860 the United States produc-
ed 1861 900 bales of cotton, of which
we manufactured for export colOred
cloths worth 1885, 449 and plain
cloths TO the value of 1877 ,627. In
1907 the cotton crop of this country
was 13,540000 bales and of that we
sent abroad in the manufactured pro-
duct, ready for consumption, col
Ored goods to the value of 81 SOP ,0S2
and plain cloths to the amount of
$13, 737 ,165.
This is a poor showing compared
with the Germany of today, and a
beggarly showing compared with the
England Of any year of the half a
century last past. With the eXcep-
ton of iron and steel, and perhaps
pottery and glass, the tariff taxes
levied in the cotton schedule of
the Dingley tariff are the most oner-
Gus. 1t is one of the best fostered
of all our infant industries-the
spinning and weaving of cOtton-and
yet Great Britain sells 100 yards
perhaps 1000 yards of calico abroad
where we sell one every year Rea-
sons are many and each one obvious
and conclusive. 1t is well enough
to remark that the growing of cotton
is not protected industry, and the
planter in Georgia completes with
the pauper labor of India and Egypt
in that industry.
Brazil has coffee to swap for
cotton cloths. England gets her lint
cotton from US, fashions it into fab
RIGS, sends it to Brazil, exchanges ii
for coffee, takes the coffee to New
Orleans, and turns it into cotton
in the bale. Is not that pretty near
ly free trade for England, and at
our expense? But there is the
precious and blessed home market to
preserve, and we are not allowed to
turn a trick of trade like that
And that is why it is that England
and not the United States, buys our
coffee in Brazil and Venezuela and
brings it to our ports free of duty
and takes from us what we have to
give in exchange
This country ought to be the cotton
manufacturer as well as the cotton
grower of the world

PARIS VIEWS ON THE
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

Paris, July 14-The Temps this
afternoon thinks the delirium at
the Democratic convention in Denver
proves that Bryan is again in COM
plete control of the Democracy At
ter saying that the war now declar-
ed by the Democracy against the
trusts and the railroads is manifestly
contrary to ancient Democratic ira
dition, which is hostile to the ex-
tension of the Federal power, the
paper concludes with these words !:
Both parties have taken up the
same battle cry, and a characteristic
of the present campaign is the sim
ilarity of the programs of the OPP
posing forces. There is practically
no difference between them, and
there is only a temperamental differ
ence between the two men, one of
whom may be selected to apply them y
The Temps thinks it is too early
to predict the result; the popular
tide must first be noticed.
The Journal des Debats takes a
similar view of what it calls the iden-
tity of the two platforms. 1.-THE con-
test, under these conditions, is large
'ly question of the personality of
the candidates. Mr.. Taft's final vic
tory, however, seems to be almost as
sured Certain it's that Mr.. Bryans
personality attracts much sympathy
through the United States, where
his sincerity and eloquence are uni
yersally admired and appreciated,
but Mr. Taft, if less popular, has be-
hind him President Roosevelt, whose
influence is predominating.

From Frying Pan Into Fire
(New Orleans States.)

New Orleans States.)
There are a great many citizens Of
New Orleans who know compare
lively little about the summer CHM
ate of their home city. At the APP
proach of the warm season these
good people pack up their belong
ings and HE themselves away, often
to resorts" that are much warmer
than New Orleans. For instance,
on yesterday the thermometer in
New York, where a great many of
our people go to escape the heat,
registered 937; while in Washing
ton 104 was reached at 3 o'clock in
the afternoon. The maximum in
New Orleans on the same day was
49,
All during the past week deaths
from heat were reported from the
cities in Northern ATTITUDES, while it
was comparatively pleasant down
here, with no prostrations from
the heat reported. Nor was the COM
parison yesterday and during the
past week unusual, for it is a we'll
known fact that we do not suffer
here from the violent extremes OF
heat and cold that are so trying upon
the physical constitution in higher
ATTITUDES. During our warmest days
it is seldom difficult to find cool
spots in New Orleans.

Savannah Morning News.)

1t is practically admitted that un-
less the tax on fertilizer tags is in
creased from 10 TO % cents, the
doors of the newly established agri-
cultural schools will have TO be clos
ed The closing of these schools
would be a blow to the chief interest
of the state, the agricultural interest.
The money for their support can not
be taken from the common school
| fund because that wouldn't be just to
| the children of the state. Besides.
| that fund is now much smaller than
| it ought to be.
Who is it that is Directing TO an
increase in the fertilizer tag tax? The
| farmers don't appear to be Directing.
1t is being pointed out that the farm
| ers of Greene county, in their recent
| regular monthly meeting, approved
| the bill providing for it, and it is re-
membered that in its last state
convention the Farmers Union APP
proved it, In that convention the
| subject was inquired into thoroughly,
| and the conclusion was reached that
| the increase wouldn't impose any APP
preciable burden on the farmers of
| this state for the reason that in all
| the other states in this part of the
| South the tax on the fertilizer tag is
% to 35 cents, and the price of fertil-
| izers in these states is the same for
the same grade of goods. As a mat
| ter of fact, the Georgia farmers and
| fertilizer manufacturers are now
helping to pay the higher rate for
tags in these other states, since, in
fixing the price of fertilizers, the
cost of tags is included. If the rate
is raised Georgia will only get her
share of the tag money that is in
cluded in the price of fertilizers.
| The members of the Legislature are
beginning to see their way in this
matter They have been hesitating
| to raise the price of tags because they
| were under the impression that II
| would increase the burden of the
] farmers. Now that it is being shown
| that the farmers, through their or
1 CARNATIONS, have approved the in
crease in the tag tax the probabilities
/ are that the bill increasing the tax
| will be passed and support for the
| agricultural schools provided.

FrOck With Sleeves.

One thing is quite apparent among
the most successful of the shore
frocks, and that is that the jumper
frock as it was first understood, the
sleeveless overbodice to be worn with
separate guimpe, has been suppressed
ed by the frock with sleeves, or at
least half sleeves of the frock mate
val. The guimpe may be separate
and adjustable, but the blouse or bo-
dice with sleeves is newer and more
modish than the sleeveless everybody.
The latter is, of course, worn, and as
in the case of the tussor frock just
described a bodice may have sleeves
of entirely different material, but it
is the sleeveless blouse and separate
sleeves that have lost favor.
Linen frocks and linen coat and
skirt costumes in the soft dull pink
tints are very popular-dull rose,
berry, coral, etc. These colorings are
shown in lovely shades among the
linens and plainly tailored with
collar and cuffs of black or white
such a frock is light and cool look
ing, yet not so light as to soil quickly

FreuR1Ne on OUTCOME

The campaign "ffgurer" has the
busy season now before him. The
possibilities are such that a very
wide latitude will be given for max
ing all kinds of possible combina-
tons.
The present generation perhaps
never witnessed a greater mix-up
than prevails during this campaign,
Had the Republicans nominated
Roosevelt. there would have been
small chance for Bryan, by reason of
the fact that my policies" and the
Democratic platform bear a striking
likeness to each other Bryan would
have had an opponent running nearly
on the same platform, and there
would have remained the question of
personality On this issue. Roose-
Welt would have had the better of
the argument. by reason of the fact
that he had been tested and had
shown that he was able to handle the
Presidential office with skill While
Bryan might have exhibited fully
as able powers, when tested, the
odds would have been with Roose-
Welt
But with Taft the nominee, it is
quite a different story. While he
might be called a protege of Roose-
welt, yet he has different environ
ments and is bound by different
cords. Personally Mr.. Taft is a
most genial gentlemen, but whether
or not he has the moral strength to
resist the pressure which will be
brought to bear by interests foreign
to the welfare of the people is an
unknown quantity Certainly be-
tween Taft and Bryan, the common
people will have a better chance of
a square deal, with the latter.
In reply to the argument that
Roosevelt will do all in his power
for the election of Taft, it could be
said with truth that the American
people would resent any attempt to
run over them. The good offices of
Roosevelt will in themselves furnish
a line of attack for the Democratic
speIIbinders which they will not fail
to use
Whatever may be said of the De-
mocrats, no one will question the
statement that there are two kinds
| of Republicans-the Roosevelt brand
and the others. The latter are num-
erous and have submitted with poor
| grace to the former element. While
they may have hopes of Taft being
an easier mark, yet the very attempt
of Roosevelt to perpetuate his ad-
ministration will make these men OPP
| posed to his man,-Taft.
Quite number of the Western
states-notably Minnesota, Iowa,
Kansas, Nebraska, and North Dakota
are Rooseveltian rather than Repub-
lican Bryan should be strong in
this belt of states, and with the aid
of Gov. Johnson, of Minnesota, might
be able to round up this group
| Whatever may be said of Bryan,
he is a man who has the courage of
his convictions And his convictions
are such as appeal to the states nam
ed.
Undoubtedly a number of consid-
erations not yet in evidence will de-
velop. but at the opening of the cam
paign the prospects for the success of
the Democratic ticket seem good.

Juvenile Courts.
washington Post.)

The institutions of a country are as
a rule of such slow growth that no
one realizes exactly what their ORR
gin is or how they have come to be
what they are. Now and then, how
ever, it happens that we see them
in the making, and such has been
the case in regard to the establish
ment of the juvenile courts, which
have evidently come to be a perman-
ent part of our judicial system. Chill
dren who had committed minor often
ses were taken into the same court
as hardened criminals, and if con-
victed were shut up with them. AS
we look back, it hardly seems posi-
BILE that society could have been
guilty of conduct so harmful and
stupid, did we not know that up to
within comparatively short time it
had been in the habit of hanging peo-
pie for trivial infractions of the law.
1t was engaged in making criminals
as rapidly as it could from the rising
generations.
Then the idea occurred to Judge
Lindsey. of the Denver criminal
court, that children should have a
court of their own, and should be
treated by wholly different methods
from those used with adults. He
succeeded in having such court
created, and was made its first judge.
It's success was immediate and most
gratifying.
Judge Lindsey found that by deal
ing with the young boodlums and
toughs individually. and appealing to
what was best in them, and then
putting them on their honor, he
could and did start great many in
the right direction permanently who
had thoughtlessly or through stress
of circumstances turned their faces
the other way What he accomplish
ed was so striking that it soon at
tracted attention throughout the
country, and now every city of any
size has a juvenile court of its own.
And we have seen in the last few
years a distinct modification and
improvement of our institutions.
