The report of the superintendent OF
Chicago's department of compulsory edu-
cation relative to the number OF starry
ing and .underfed children recalls similar
report from New York city which recent
" caused much commotion among philan-
1hropists and elected denials from those
whose duty it was to look after the needs
of children. Chicago is a large city and
it would nat be surprising under the
existing business conditions to find
homes in which breakfasts and other
meals are too light for the average grow
ing child.

ON Hi PACIFIC COAST.

The registration in San Francisco for
the coming presidential election, which
closed last night, indicates that the peo-
pie are not taking a great interest in
politics. The figures are not complete,
but the total registration will not great
ly exceed $4,000, a reduction of 1000
from the figures of the last municipal
election and 1000 less than four years
g Various explanations are offered
for this reduction. The Republicans take
| the view that the election of MI. Taft
is certain, and this feeling causes the
voters on both sides to regard registra.
ton as a useless formality. The cam
paign has been marked by apathy which
might prove disastrous in the event of a
close contest. Little effort was made by
the Taft managers to fill the registration
lists. On the other hand, the Democrats
have not a strong organization in Cali
fornia, because of fractional contests.

ty miles from the big oil refinery of the

reports prove correct, lies in the fact

Once more San Francisco is threatened
with a strike which promises to be Sc

election. The Draymen's association,
which has been for several years work
ing under an agreement with the Team
ster's union. has served notice on the
union that the agreement will not be re-
newed unless the men consent to a re-
duction in wages amounting to 80 cents
a day. The present rate of wages aver
ages about $40 a week. The union has
so far refused to consider the proposed
reduction. If the association persists IL
its determination to cut wages, the lead
ers of the men assert that they will go
out. The last strike of teamsters. which
occurred in 1902, was the bloodiest III
the history of San Francisco.

Practical Workings of Oklahoma
Bank Deposit Guarantee Law
Explained.
Reckless Banking and Speculative
Methods Follow Passage OF
Law.

The practical workings of the Okla
homa law guaranteeing bank deposits
were described by Mr.. J. w. McNeal,
one of the most substantial bankers OF
that state, and president of the Ma
tional Bank of Commerce, Guthrie, in
a short public address at Denver, Oct.
1, 1908.
Mr.. McNeal said:
"To my mind it is the most vicious
and pernicious law ever forced on a
body of honorable men. 1t contains a
provision for an unlimited mutual liza
bility for all the d~efalcations, lack OF
judgment, dishonest and incompetent
bankers, without any recognition OF
the time-tried, strong banker, who may
have spent a lifetime in building up his
reputation. Under the provisions OF
this law, the State Banking Board is
required to levy an assessment equal to
one per cent. Of the average deposits
in each bank, and, in the future, to levy
as often as may be required, a sum
sufficient to maintain this fund, at one
per cent Of the average deposits of the
state.

Wild Cat Banks.

"What has been some of the results
of the actual operation of this law III
Oklahoma? There have been seventy
seven new state bank charters issued
since the adoption Of this law, forty
two of these with a capital stock Of
only $4,000 each. There has been q
regular hegira for starting new state
banks without regard to the necessities
of the community or the character Of
the men starting the banks.
"We have one instance Of where a
man failed in Kansas, under his own
name, then started up in business
under his wife's name and failed, beat
ing his creditors out of $4,000, not
paying them a cent. Under the old ter
ritorial law, he attempted, under the
guise of relatives to start a bank, but
in two years his business was so trifiing
that it forced him out of the business.
He now has already started three
banks in Oklahoma and boasts that he
will start twelve more. Within sixty
days from starting one of his banks, /
am Informed, and his statement shows.
that he had a deposit account Of over
100000. His cashier is under indict-
ment for embezzlement. I hope and
trust that he will be able to explain
the matter without wrong to him. I
only mention these facts to show that
it is immaterial what character of men
are at the head of banks, they get the
business by claiming that the state is
guaranteeing them and it makes no
difference whatever as to the character
or personality Of the officers. A man
may bet all his money on the races,
may gamble on the Board of Trade,
may fight joint whisky, may lead a
licentious life, and go out and solicit
deposits, saying What do you care
what kind of a life 1 lead, the state is
behind me?'

q suffered fully six months. Tho trouble began on my arms in little red pimples and it was not long before it was all over my body. limbs, face, and hands. It was so bad that 1 could not rest night or day and during the six months, did not get good nights sleep. l doctored for three or four months and spent at least twenty dol lars trying to find cure but none could be found. Then l saw the Cuticura Remedies advertised, and the next day 1 purchased some for seventy-five cents at the druggists. I used them and 1 was relieved of the itching in three days, and 1 have never had sign of any skin disease since. The Cuticura Remedies are the only remedies to use for skin diseases, they have cured me and they will cure others in the same way. J. w. Bloom, R. R.

Hoyle was not really the inventor Of

but he was the first who introduced
scientific whist to the public. A recent
authority says that very little is known
Of Hoyle's personal history except that
he was barrlster by profession and
held the post of registrar of the pre-
rogatlve In Ireland. He was born In
1910 and died In Cavendlsh square In
1867 at the advanced age Of ninety-sev-
en- years. He received the sum of f1,-
900 from his publisher for his treatise
on whist, which ran through five edi-
tions In one year and was extensively
plrated. Hoyle Is said to have given
lessons in whist at guinea lesson.

Fortune For Forqers,

The last person to suffer death for
forgery in London was a Thomas May
nard, who was executed on Dec. 81.
1929. 1t was not however, until 1882
that the death penalty for the crime
was replaced by transportation, though
even then an exception was made in
the case Of forging or altering a
will. This exception was not removed
from the statute book until 1887. In
the days of good Queen Bess a forger
of deeds was very severely dealt with.
He had to stand In the pillory; his ears
were cut off, his nose slit, and he was
branded with hot irons. If he survived
these ordeals he was doomed to i'm
prisonment for the rest of his days,
and everything he possessed in the
world was forfeited to the crown.
Surely death would have been far
more merciful.

KING To RACE
FOR YANKEE CUP
ALPHONSO EXPECTS TO
CARRY OFF THE PRIZE.
Yacht Races Expected to Re-Cement
American and Spanish Friendship
Races This Year VIII BE Held In
Spanish Waters.

Madrid, July 2S.-The first race OF
the snoderklasse yachts for the tro-
ply presented to the Spanish fedora
tion Of yacht clubs by F. Lewis Clark,
the American yachtsman, will be held
tomorrow at San Sebastian. King AL
fonso has had a boat especially built
for the contest and believes that he
has a good chance Of winning The
trophy.
When the American yachtsmen that
had raced at Kiel last ,ar visited
Spanish waters with their boats and
San Sebastian, Bilbao and Santande<
in a series Of sonderklasse competi-
tions, 1t was not only a very sports-
mannke act, but it more firmly ce-
mented the new friendship existing
between the new countries.
Among the competitors, both at
Kiel and San Sebastian, was Vice.
Commodore F. Lewis Clark, Eastern
Yacht club, Of Marblehead, who felt
that the American yachtsmen were
called upon to show In some tangible
way their appreciation Of the courte-
sizes and kindness received at the
time from their Spanish yachting as
sociates.
Finally Commodore Clark decided
that the presentation Of a racing
trophy to the Spanish federation Of
yacht clubs would be appropriate, and
acting upon that decision at once

'as an incentive to the noble sport
Of yachting and to the building ur

panying the cup stipulates that the
federation shall arrange for annual
regattas for the trophy. consisting OF
not less than three and not more than
i've races, to be sailed not oftener
than once each calendar year.

mensions to be fixed by the fedora

persons who at the time are members
OF a yacht club belonging to the fed
Grafton; to be steered by members of
said clubs, and the crews of which
shall consist wholly of amateurs; and
open also to such other yachts built
In Spain and sailed by Spanish anna
teurs as may be permitted by the fed
Grafton to compete.
Provided. however, that the first
year the said federation may, IL 1t
choose, arrange that various races for
the said cup be sailed in the waters
Of San Sebastian, Bilbao and Santan-
der, so as to insure equality of oppor-
tunity to the members Of the various
clubs comprising the federation. But
all Of the races sailed this first year

but one regatta.
The cup shall become the absolute
property of the person who, as own
ers, shall have first won three an
