we're actually unable to meet
the demands of their deposit
tors. 1t is almost a certainty
that those banks at Kearney,
Nebraska, for that is the home
of the republican politician
who favors the country with
his extraordinary statement
above quoted-are run by re-
publicans. We're those Ne
braska Bankers in league with
the New YORK banks to pro.
duce and prolong the panic? If
they refused to pay their de-
positors when they were not
"pressed for cash." they COM
mitted if not crime against
the banking laws of the United
States, a most despicable out
rage against their depositors
and the people generally. AS
the banks generally refused to
pay cash to their depositors
were they also in collision with
the New York banks to help IN
dictate to the people that Ger.
tain policies of the Roosevelt
Administration were panic
breeders? In any event there
is no escape for the republican
party, whatever produced the
panic. The coming Republi-
can National Convention will
endorse Roosevelt and all his
doings. it will endorse republi-
can policies and point with
pride to the prosperity of the
trusts and corporations as one
of the most conspicuous merits
of republican ascendency. But
still the glazing fact will have
to be explained by our republic
can friends, why the panic &C.
Cured under republican poll
cies, with all departments of
the government under their
full control for the past ten
years. What assurance can the
republican party offer that
further panics will not follow,
if they are again entrusted
with power? And with what
face can they again declare
that republican policies are
panic proof?"

RESPoNSIBLEFoR THEPANIC

Have you asked your repub-
lican neighbors how they like
this business depression and
breakdown of the guaranteed
republican prosperity7 If the
protective tariff is such a sure
cure for hard times and repub-
lican financial policies are me-
cessary to prevent panics how
can they explain present condi-
tions2 It is nonsense to say
that this was Wall Street
panic, brought on for political
purposes, for the financiers who
run Wall Street affairs are too
smart to ruin themselves and
they have suffered enormously.
Panicy conditions have reach
ed the most stable and distant
fields. Judge Sinclair, of Ne
braska. when in Washington a
week ago declared that, "the
west is we'll fixed financially.
None of the banks in his town
wac pressed for cash during the

payments, wac certainly help

as the available cash balance.
He could not have paid out

Was the gold reserve trench
ed upon, or was the trust funds
drawn upon to prevent con-
gress and the people from
knowing, that although there
were millions in the treasury
on paper, there was actually a
shortage of available cash to
pay the running expenses Of
the government from day to
day.
No wonder the bankers are
scared and want permission to
issue emergency currency so
they can repay to the Treasury,
part at least, of the cash de-
posted with them. To make
the financial affairs of t h e
government more complicated
the receipts are falling behind
the expenditures at the rate of
five millions a month, which
compels t h treasury to de-
mand part of the cash loaned
to the banks and if, as suspect.
ed many accounts have been
held up awaiting money in the
treasury to pay them, this de-
felt will grow instead of de-
creasing.
This seems dangerously near
gambling with the public
funds. 1t is very similar to
what banker w b did in
Chicago, for which he has just
been convicted by jury. Even
the totally unwarranted sale
of Panama bonds aud the issue
of certificates does not seem to
have helped the secretary of
treasury to crawl out of the
hole that this republican policy
of favoring the National banks
has brought about.

Judge Ambler's ection of common
pleas court yesterday. The evidence
was all In and the arguments con-
cluded when It was decided to defer
giving the case to the jury until this
morning. The case was of more
than usual interest because of the fact
that two convicts from the Ohio peni-
tentiary were brought into 1t as wit
nesses Deal, who claims that he and
Coppard turned the trick for which
Coppard is on trial and for which he,
Deal, is now serving time, was the
principal witness for the state. Jesse
Steele, sent from this county in 1906,
for robbery, was called by the defense
and claims that Deal has made state
ments since being at the prison that
contradict the statements made by
him before the grand jury and in
court. The two convicts will be taxi
en- back to Columbus this morning.
Deal was brought here by Guard VIII
liams, Canal Fulton man, who will
