Our politically dwarfed contempor-
airy, the Hartford Herald, devotes over
two columns of it's valuable! editorial
space to an editorialette review? of
the recent Republican convention at
Louisville, in the course of which il
reproduces the vote given the four
leading candidates 10 the National
Convention, summarizing same in the
following manner: 1T will be OBJ
served that a negro takes the place
of Mr.. Bradley. How do the rank
and file of the Republican party who
for forty years have followed Col.
Bradleys leadership, like this sort
of thing. anyhow" We have no APP
pology to offer for what actually trans.
pired at this convention, in which
respect we are unlike the aforesaid
contemporary, for it defends the ac-
tons of its party right or wrong. But
We do resent the statement that a
negro, whose intellectual capabilities
the Herald shysters probably approach
in but a slight degree, takes the place
of Mr.. Bradley. 1t is and has been
for years customary TO send as one of
the four delegates at-large from this
State a representative of the colored
race, and neither Mr. Bradley nor any
other white man was voted for when
the colored man was chosen. The elec
ton of the three white delegates had
already been held and the Senator
elect together with several others were
voted for but failed of election. The
colored man would have been sent
even If Bradley had been elected I'M
animously and no one of common
information who has the slightest re-
gard for his veracity will state as a
truth that negro takes the place Of
Bradley.

ORGANIZATION OF new
BANK IS PROPOSED.
Louisville Money TO be Put Into
The Enterprise If
Promoted.

The latest talk in connection with
the scheme TO reorganize the Owens
boro Savings Bank and Trust Com
pany, really does not mean a reorgan-
ization az all, but the organization
of new bank. 1t is now said that no
move will be made until Receiver Ped
ley's report is filed with the court on
the firstM onday in June. 1t is then
1t is said, that the newbank will be
organized to buy in such assets of the
old bank as may be deemed desir-
able by the directors of the new bank.
OF course the new bank would have
TO bid against other banks or indi-
viduals, who might want any of the
assets of tle defunct bank,
An appraisemeht Of the assets of the
Greensboro Saving Bank and Trust
company will be made by appraisers
appointed by the court. They will fix
a value upon each item and when
sold the law provides that they shall
bring two-thirds of the appraised val
Ne. The new bank, If it had no ac-
tive competitors, would be able 10 buy
the assets of the old bank at price
much below par or face value, where
as a recognized bank would have
to pay depositors and creditors in
full.
1t is told on pretty good authority
that $4,000 of Louisville capital is
ready to go into a new bank, but not
into a reorganization Of the old one.
Mr.. E. b. Anderson, assignee of the
Daviess County Bank and Trust COM
pany, has his force busy at work pre-
pairing schedules of assets and LA
bilities and he hopes to have them
ready TO file with the county court on
next Thursday, May IA, but he may
be compelled TO ask an extension of
a few days, as the work man not be
finished by Thursday. 1t is big task
to prepare schedules for bank with
as large a list of assets and liabilities
as the Daviess County Bank and Trust
Company.
A number of notes have been paid
in the past few days. as those paid
will not have TO be published but will
appear in the schedule of assets as
cash.-Owensboro Inquirer

industries of the country are in good
shape and another year of fine har-
vests is promised. Lack of employ
ment for large bodies of industrious
men would be a scerious matter and
there should be no taking of sail
unless absolutely necessary. Mere
timidty could work mischief in this
direction. Lack of confidence can be
as damaging when baseless as when
well founded. All the elements of
prosperity are in sight. Why not be
glad that such is the case and say sc?
This is presidential year, but it looks
exceedingly well to experienced bust
ness and political observers. Trust in
the American people and the Provi-
dence that has been good to them.

Business in Presidential Years

The slowing up of the activities of
! the people every fourth year when a
national election occurs is more a
habit than a logical necessity. Sud
den and sweeping changes are feared
but the government is so framed in
It's different branches that the sudden
and complete overrurn of legislative
and executive policies is seldom pos
sible. Presidential campaigns vary in
their business portents. The contest
of this year can not upset the situa-
ton hastily and the industrial world
may rest easy on that score. 1t can
fear or damaging changes of front
within the near future. In the cam
paign of 1896 the value of the dollar
was at stake and great initiation of
the currency through it debasement
was threatened. The international
credit of the country was in the bal
ance. Conservatism at that time, in
standard trade as well as new ven
lures, was warranted. When new
measurements are proposed care must
be taken in making contracts and in
curing liabilities. The present cam
paign Contains no immediate menace
of this nature. Though there should
be contrary 10 general expectation, a
Democratic majority some of the de-
partments of government are certain
to remain Republican.
The Senate is two-thirds Republic
an, and there is hardly a remote
chance that the Democrats can get az
preponderance there for the next four
years. There can be no successful as
sault on sound financial standards and
no hostile ripping up of the protec-
tive tariff before 1913, by which time
the country will have held another
national election, with an opportunity
to review the action of 1908. In fact,
a reconsideration would Come in 1910,
when a new House will be elected.
The country can not be rushed into

Mr.. Bryan as president would have

throughout his term, and between the
coming December and March the

success is certainly improbable, but
here is an estimate of the most 1t
could bring in any case. The coun-
try would have TO speak again In
1910 and 1912 before the Democratic
party could begin to dominate the ma
tional policies. 1t could be obstruc-
tive, a role with which 1t is familiar
as a cinority but such tactics are
not to the liking of a great energetic.

States.
There Is wisdom in the idea that
the people should talk prosperity.

The conference of Governors of the
states and territories which President
Roosevelt called to meet at the White
House on the thirteenth of this month
is an assembly unique alike in object
and in constitution. Never before have
the executive heads of all the common
wealths of the Union met in Washing
ton or elsewhere for any purpose, and
never before has a conference repre-
senting every section of the country
as this one does, been officially call
ed together for the purpose of arriv-
ing at comprehensive program for
the conservation of the national re-
sources. Thus the conference will be
an epoch-making event in a double
sense and doubtless the proceedings
of the sessions which is now being
held in the historic East Room will be
watched as they should be, with the
keenest interest by Americans of all
degrees and sections. The scene
should be worth commemorating
when the Chief Executive of the
worlds greatest federation faces for
the first time in history the Chief Ex-
efutives of its forty-six constituent
states all met to consult together of
ways of keeping for future Americans

has lifted America 10 her present place
