Her Predicament.

a small village one Sunday where he
had been several times. The family
who entertained him had q little
daughter who was usually fond of at
tending service. When the other mem
bers of the family were ready to go
little Nellie firmly refused to go with
them.

Bankers AS Well AS Depositors
Should Favor Guaranty Law
Deocracys Leader Points Out the Inevitable Consequence
of Failure to Do So.
Of Failure to Do So,

To justify law guaranteeing depo-
sitors, it is not necessary to show that
the advantage to the bankers would
amount to more than the tax. The ex-
animation of the banks would continue
to be made at the expense of the banks,
even if it were certain that the exami-
nation was OF no pecuniary advantage
to the banks. The law would continue
to require certain amount of reserve
to be kept on hand, even if it were GER
tain that such law brought no pecu-
mary gain to the bank; and SO the
banks ought to be compelled to insure
their depositors against loss, even if
it could not be shown that such insur-
ance would bring a compromising adj
vantage to the bank. The bank char
/ ter has value; if it were not valu-
able the bank would not be organized.
The bank charter is a gift from the
people through the law, and the peo-
pie who authorize the establishment OF
a bank have right to demand, in re-
turn, that the bank shall keep the
pledge which it gives when it invites
| deposits, and make good its promises
Of security to those who deal with it.
But as a matter of fact, the banks
will, as a rule, gain more from the law
than they will lose by the tax imposed
by the law. The experience of the Ok
lahoma banks shows this. The inter.
est collected upon the increased de-
| posts will far more than pay the los
ses occasioned by insolvency. Blu

two banks have failed and the assets
have in both cases been sufficient to
reimburse the fund. '
Then, too, the banks must remember
that the question is not merely whether
depositors shall be made secure, but
whether the security shall be given by
the banks themselves or by the gov
eminent through a postal savings
bank.
The refusal of the banks to permit
the passage OF law granting security
to depositors is responsible for the
growth of the sentiment in favor of the
government savings bank, and the SEN
tlment will continue to grow unless
something is done to satisfy the de.
mands of the people upon this subject.
The republican party proposes the
establishment of a postal savings bank
system; the democratic party prefers
the guaranteed bank because it is bet
ter for the depositor and better for the
banker-it gives the depositor the Sc.
curity which he needs and yet Leaves
the banking business in the hands OF
the banks. But the democratic plat
form declares for "a postal savings
bank ii the guaranteed bank cannot be
secured" and in November more than
ninety per cent of the voters will by
their ballots demand either the guar.
anteed bank or the postal savings
bank. Can the financiers prevent the
carrying out of this demand?-Wm

Join the Boosters.

CAPTAIN ". c. Davis, before leaving
for his summer trip, issued 4 circular
letter urging the organization OF u
board OF trade TO do something to ad-
vance the material interests OF Man
ming. The letter is timely, there Is
every incentive here TO cause our peo-
ple to get into the boosting business. 1t
paws to boost, and every man 2nG woman
can do his or hershare. Therefore, let
everybody throw away their hammers
and Quit knocking the town. Let every
BODY get into the game of doing some
thing for Manning, and if they will tae
rent signs will be taken down from the
stores and dwellings in short order. The
past two years of inactlon has been
a convincing demonstration that
town cannot prosper, and must neces-
sarilv 90 back when everybody greed
IL waits for someone else to sell or
build up property. There IS an o!G
truism, You cannot eat your cake ana
keen it too" This applies to our people
who own property, hold it at hctlclous
price, will not improve it, but expect
to realize upon the diligence of others,
with the result, they accomplish moth
ing for themselves other than a depre-
citation of their OVID, and other peo-
pies property. The board OF trade
can, if it is active, demonstrate the
folly OF our past policy, its suicidal
effect, and as business proposition
urge policy which Will invite people
to come here, open up livins-maklng
industries, and pat the property OF the
town on sane and active market.
There are some who think the new
assessment of property here will have
the effect of loosening some OF the
property, this depends upon how much
backbone the assessors and equallza-
ton board has. If these boards listen
to the whimperings OF some Of our
largest property owners who have been
escaping their just proportion OF taxa
tion, they will bring aboutno retrench-
ment, and will only lend encourage
ment to those who have been a blight
to Manning:s progress. But II they
will do their duty fearlessly, ut the
same time Justly, and make all uaN-
payers pay their proper proportion OF
the taxes, then there may be some
hope of having material for the towns
boosters to work upon.
