An Object Lesson.

1T the Stale or Alabama gudfanteeu deposits in state banks the Stevenson bank would be open for business this morning, or else put out of business by state authority and the depositors paid iu'full on demand That is the policy, in nut shell, for which Mir. Bryan stands. The Alabama object lesson makes his position plain. Chattanooga Times.
 Here is another endorsement of the Oklahoma plan, under which the banks of that state are prosper ing as never before.
 The National Association of Manu- lecturers, which is really an adjunct of the Republican party, designed to protect the interests of those who have all the time commanded special protective legislation, has declared against the bank guarantee plan.
 They claim that it will license the interruptions banker to plunder those who conduct their business on l safe and law-abiding basis.
 It is begging of the question.
 What is sought is the protection of the depositor, the poor widow or the wage-earner who may have in the bank his all saved up for the in- evitable rainy day, and the tax that is placed upon the honest banker is so small that it can not be considered a burden.
 Arkansas bankers, even those who had been prejudiced againt the plan, have been won over by personal investigation and will urge the adoption of the system by the next Arkansas Legislature.
 Bryan and the Democratic party are urging the necessity of a similar measure by Congress for the Nation al banks.
 It would insure greater care in the administration of financial insti- tutions, closer scrutiny. of their business and a general clarifcation of the banking system. First of all, and this is the con- sideration that should outweigh any possible objections, it would insure the depositor that he would get his
  money back when he wanted it.-Ar- kansas Democrat.

R0YCReFT PHILOSOPHY
BY FRA ELBERTuS


 Written in a sincere and kindly de. sire to help the young who do not know, and the older ones who sometimes forget.
 The less you require looking after the more able you are to stand alone and complete your tasks, the greater your reward. Then if you can not only do your work, but direct intel. ligently and effectively the efforts of others, your reward is in exact ratio, and the more people you direct, and the higher the intelligence you can rightly lend, the more valuable is your life.
 Never carry matches loose in your pocket--have a metal matchbox.
 .*.< Never use letter paper or envelopes to figure on or for memoranda---it shows you do not realize that the first requisite in business is economy. The same rule applies to burning of lights that are not needed; whether there is a meter or a fiat rate makes no difference--avoid waste.
 .$.e Do not argue with customers, nor contradict them.
 The man who endured everything from rude customers and got even by selling them a bill may not have been actuated by the best motives, but his general policy was right. Always be circumspect and cour- teous. Bear the faults of some, the impoliteness of others, and pardon everybody sooner than yourself. Responsibilities gravitate to the per, son who can shoulder them, ana power flows to the man who knows how. Don't worry!
 .es< The habit of borrowing small sums of money---anticipating payday---lsa pernicious practice and breaKs many a friendship. It is no kindness to loan money to a professional DOT rover.
  Don't touch pencils. pens, erasers or papers on another mans desk, un. less he is there. The Golden hule applies well here, as elsewhere. The love you liberate in your wofA is the only love you keep. The man with debt he could no' caused perhaps by slcKnes, should go frankly to his frienu ', business chief. Shun the mone, loan shark as you would conlaglo'. Poverty, Encouragement, tenpse ton, too often crime, ara the lru" of that sort of Confidential hnaN InV

What It Means.

MT. EdftOr.-l nat 9 canning and preserving plant should be established here, goes without saying, for unless 1t is, the fruit and berry growers will not in- crease their output, because of ihe limited market; and while every one acknowledges the value of our lands for fruit and berries, and all garden produce, the fact remains that the product is not grown as it should be, or would be, provided the growers could find ready market for as much as they could produce.
 Now, we have chance to help ourselves by assisting in securing full canning and preserving plant, and every man who grows bushel of apples, peaches, pears or plums, or raises quart of small fruit or tomatoes, is di- rectly interested in such a pro- posal.
 We are so far from market that our produce must be condensed, and an unlimited market right at our door would be one of the greatest blessings, and a source of profit that would be unbound ed.
 Within ten days a man who has built many factories and knows the business thoroughly will come here to investigate the situation and desires that the growers of fruit and vegetables help In the enterprise, not that the money of the growers is de- sired, but that they should be identified and become part of the plant. Growers and producers are then interested and would grow the products and help them selves and furnish the factory with material to use.
 Thegrower can put iu the amount they desire, $500 to $50, ol which they would be guaranteed 8 per cent interest and profits, in pro- portion to the amount paid in. In my judgment a grower is war ranted in taking all the stock he cau-and even should we get only the s per cent interest he would be willing to put in all he could Fl for the market is the main thing. No need to waste the splits or culls, or damaged fruit of any kind for all can be used in a can- ming and preserving plant, and for all of which the grower gets his money, for a factory of this kind is like pork packing house where everything is saved except the squeal. Then, in such a cau- hing and preserving plant that could put up two carloads per day it would take many men, women and children, who would ]! receive good wages, and in all | ways 1t would put money into circulation and be au institution that Meua would be proud of, as every branch of business would | be benefited, but the growers and | producers most as they are the backbone of the business, and mutuality as between the growers and manufacturer, is one of the essential elements, and with such nutuality no factory could fail 50 be direct benefit to the whole community.

Mai Lemuel A. Abbott, United
States army, has recently presented
to the Vermont commandry, Military
Order of the Loyal Legion, and the
Fletcher free library of Burlington, a
copy of his most interesting and valu-
able book, Personal Recollections
and Civil War Diary, 1864" Major
Abbott enlisted as a private soldier
In the 10th Vermont infantry in 1862,
serving in that regiment until the
close of the war, when he was muster
ed out as captain, He was one of the
best soldiers from Vermont in the
war, for the Union. being four times
wounded, and when the war closed
he was commissioned as second lieu
tenant In the 9th United States caval-
ry, but on account of his wounds was
retired from the regular service June
3, 1865, with rank of major, Probably
no officer had seen more service
with the Indians and on the frontier
than Major Abbott. and could he
have continued on the active list he
would without doubt have risen to
the grade of general officer The
book is printed by the Free Press
Printing company in most attrac
tive form, and many Vermont sol
diers, especially burlington men who
served in the 10th regiment are men
