ob1tH0Y4.s POLITICAL DEPOSITS.

Mr.. Bryan's triumphant figures showing the
popularity of the government guaranteed banhs
In Oklahoma hardly bear analysis. In MS
speech at Topeka the Democratic candidate
pointed out that between December, 1907, AMI
Nav. 1905 the guaranteed banks gained in
deposits 81 23T 100 30, while the unsecured
blanks, all national. showed a decrease in de-
..posits of S1.1O1. SO7 So" This, he said, indi-
Gated the strong popular demand for insured
deposits and the greater public faith in the
guaranteed banks.
But an Okahoman. in "The st Louis Globe
Democrat" explains how much politics and how
little public feeling had to do with this SHIFT
OF deposits The enabling act passed by Con
gress appropriated S5000000 from the United
States Treasury as a school fund for the state.
This sum was placed in the hands of the state
officials in November, 1907 and according to
1.-The Globe-Democrat's' informant. it was at
first deposited in the national banks of Okla
homa When the Bryan scheme of guaranteed
deposits was adopted the fund was used to in
duce the banks to enter into that arrangement,
and the deposits of it were withdrawn from all
the national banks which refused TO come under
the operation of the Oklahoma guarantee law.
Probably IL the facts were available, it could
be shown that the state and local funds gen.
orally had been used in n similar way to
strengthen the guaranteed banks, and if the
shift Of the school fund alone does not account
for the whole change to which Mr.. Bryan tri>
umphantly points, the deposit of the other pub
lie moneys would explain the rest. The figures
regarding deposits show the activities of Gov
ernor Haskell and the rest of the Oklahoma
Bryanites, and indicate little or nothing regard
ing the popular preference for guaranteed
banks.

tffs certain conclusion: we as individuals and
.ritizes,s are better wiser. cleaner handed than
we were and are rising steadily to planes higher
than we have yet known. 1t is true in one way
that the "evil that men do lives after them ana
the good is too oft inferred with their bones,
hut that survival is more in effect than in pop
Mar consciousness Never has more
intelligent body of voters prepared to go to the
polls and never one more thoroughly awakened
to its moral responsibilities.
That is just conclusion and thoroughly
hopeful one Education in self-rule is a slow
and painful process But the American people
are making steady progress toward the goal
of moderation and enlightenment in politics
1t is easy TO measure that progress when we
compare the openness and cleanness of pres
cnt campaign methods with the personal abuse,
the underhanded attacks and the questionable
tricks in vogue within the memory OF this
generation.

BETWEEN TWO STOOLS.

The Democratic newspapers which followed
MI Cleveland most devotedly in his lifetime and
which are now trying hard TO support Mr..
BRYAN find it most awkward TO dispose of the
ex-President's practical declaration for Taft and
against BRYAN, contained in his recently pub
lshed article on the conditions of the cam
paign Of 1908 .'The Philadelphia Record for
instance an extreme exponent of individualism
in economies and politics, argues that Mr.. Bryan
the propounder of government ownership and
operation of the railroads and government reg
uation of ali kinds OF production, is at bottom Il
harmless. narrow construction Jeffersonian and
deserves election as such. Mr.. Cleveland did not
think that Mr.. Bryan was merely an old-fash-
Toned individualist, INDUCING in a few playful
communstic vagaries, but meaning no harm.
So The Record is obliged TO square Bryanisln
with Clevelandsm, and itself with both, the best
way it can. Here is how 1t does it:
belittle and Willy Grover Cleveland during
mis- lifetime are making great of the post
humous announcement OF the high opinion of
Mr. Tafts character and abilities entertained by
Mr. Cleveland. There thousands of good
Democrats in the country who appreciate and
who rejoice in the high attachments OF Mr.
Taft. The man is better than his party Il is
the party a whose head he has consented TO
march which the country has reason TO fear
No man better than Mr. Cleveland under
stood the danger to the Republic inherent i'll the
perpetuation of Republican policies of admins
tration
Yet if Mr.. Cleveland understood the danger
ITO the Republic inherent IN the perpetuation of
Republican policies" and also realized that the
party, not the leader, TO be voted into
power, why did he deliberately commit himself
to the support Of Taft instead of Bryan? Weigh

THE WAR ON TUBERcELosIs.

According to DR.. Lawrence i. Flick. who IS
in charge of the Henry Phipps Institute for
poor consumptives in Philadelphia, a percept-
IDLE falling off in the mortality from thhereu-
1osis in that city has recently been observed
The number of deaths last year, he says, was
5000, and in 1906 5000 If the diminution
could be maintained at that rate, DR.. Flick is
confident that consumption would be prac-
tically wiped out in fifteen years.
To some extent. perhaps, the reduction here
observed may have been due to accidental
causes but it is not the less encouraging. Per
haps in time the methods employed in war
fare against tuberculosis will be even more
effective than they are now, but the success
which attends the adoption of those already
In use is unmstakable. Within the memory
of many comparatively young persons con-
sumption was regarded as incurable. Since the
exposure of that fa1lacy different methods of
treatment have been tried from time TO time.
Just now fresh air and suitable food seem to
yield better results than any kind of medi-
cine. The all important fact though is that
in large percentage Of cases, If the fight Is
begun soon enough, complete recovery ensues.
One of the most important advances in cam
psign methods relates TO prevention. Even yet
there are some serious problems which are not
fully solved. Whether infection results more
frequently from contaminated air or from con
tamna ted food is point still in dispute But
so long as preca utions based on both posSibili-
ties are employed large degree of protection
ensues. In addition to the regulations of health
boards which have resulted from the recon
mendations of the most distinguished students
of the disease society has had the beneht of
several purely voluntary agencies. Many
patients now benevolently adopt means to pre-
vent injury to other persons. Besides, by
means of lectures, free literature and special
exhibitions, thousands are now educated con-
corning the nature of tuberculosis and the
latest theories about its spread.
Great as is the progress made thus far, 1t is
reasonable to believe that it will yet be sur
passed Hundreds of bacteriologists have aimed
TO utilize both for prevention and cure, the
system of incubation which has so nearly sub
iugated dphtheria. Their efforts have not been
so fruitful as could have been hoped, but their
failures do not prove that the task will never
be performed 4 realization of the noble pur
poses of Koch, Behring and Trudeau may be
witnessed before the first quarter Of the TWEEN
tieth century has passed

tate what international equity sanctioned, that
the European powers should await assurance
of Mulai Hafg's intention to fulfil Moroccos
international obligations to them before recog
nizing him as Sultan.
That appears to have been the policy OF
France and of all the Algeciras sisnatories *
cept Germany but Germany alone-as was fore
cast by Ex-Attache''--propose TO grant the
usurper recognition without waiting for any
such assurance, and indeed, while the presume
ton from his own declarations. is that he viii
not respect treaties between Morocco and the
powers for his recent alleged promise TO re-
spect the Algeciras treaty is hopelessly vague
and unconvincing. Upon the face of 1t that
course may without offence be regarded with
surprise, and with curiosity to know its motive.
Germany is commonly supposed not to have
been greatly pleased with the Algeciras convea-
tion but it is not TO be believed without much
stronger evidence than any now apparent that
she would resort to so perilous a means as this
would be to force its abrogatiOn or even its re-
vision, especially since Mulal Hafg is as likely
to repudiate all other conventions as that one.
A far preferable theory would be that she has
secured privately. in advance of the other pow
ers satisfactory assurance Of the good faith and
behavior of the dc facto Sultan. IL that should
prove to be the case. notable triumph for Ger
man diplomacy would be indicated, promising
much for German ascendency in Morocco under
the new reign while in any event the course
now pursued by the Berlin government will
cause Germany and German interests to be re-
carded with peculiar favor at the Shereefian

THE uOR0CCO TROUBLE.

If is nrobahlv TOO much to say that Morocco
is seriously imperilling the peace of Europe.
That troublesome country did not do that before
/ the Algeciras conference, and affairs now
which accord almost exactly with the forecast
which was made by our contributor, "Ex
Attach6" nearly two months ago-are not as
complicated or rs menacing as they were then
OF course whenever any diplomatic controversy
arises the army and navy departments of he
interested powers look sharp TO get themselves
in perfect trim and readiness. 1t is their duty
to do So But that does not mean that there IS
a probability of their being called into action.
They do not wait for probabilities. 1t is their
duty TO be prepared for possibilities. even the
most remote and whenever possibility Of need
becomes little less remote than it ordinarily
is, they must increase their readiness. SO We
may hear many militant rumors nowadays, but
we shall do we'll not TO look for their fulhlment.
The situation is. however, unquestionably per
picking. and may even give cause for anxiety
among those directly charged with its solution.
If was remarked in these columns some time ago
that the success of the Moroccan pretender
would probably be embarrassing TO the powers,
since he bad not only not given adherence to the
Algeciras convention, but had explicitly and en-
phatically proclaimed his intention of repudiat-
ing that convention and ali other conventions,
treaties and obligations existing between Mo-
course would bring him into pretty immediate
conflict with the powers 1t would also prac
tfcally make him an outlaw among rulers, for
elsewhere the rule has been for usurpers and
revolutionary governments to have some decent
regard for the diplomatic undertakings Of their
predecessors. The principle of international
law is that change of government does not
impair the validity of a states obligations.
Now, if Mulai, Haig has succeeded in max
ing himself the dc facto Sultan Of Morocco the
question of recognizing him as such must be
considered. In ordinary circumstances there
would probably be little If any hestancy or
delay in giving him recognition. International
law commonly regards the de fGcto government
of state as that which is to be recognized aud
dealt with, since it alone is actually exercising
the functions of government. But interna-
tional law assuredly does not prescribe its own
destruction or violation. and when govern
nent proelaims itself to be not bound by the
fundamental principles OF that law it cannot
claim the benefits of 1t. Certainly one govern
ment cannot be expected TO recognize another
which purposes to repudate its obligations 10
the very governments which recognize it. Pru-
dence and. discretion. therefore. seemed to die
