Gentlemen: I wish to say in behalf
of the Tennessee Valley Fertilizer Co.,
that 1 tried three Companies fertili-
zers side b. side under cotton last
year, and King Cotton Grower gave
the best results. The other fertilizer
was a higher grade than King Cotton
Grower. | can also state that it pays
to use fertilizer under corn and peas
as we'll as cotton. Yours truly,

Choice Of President Will Involve
Far-Rsaching Consequences.

Choice Of President Will Involve
Far-Rsaching Consequences.
(From Gov. Hughes Youngstown
specify
mot only will the coming election
directly affect the executive branch
Of the government, but 1t Is most I'm
portant I'm Its relation to the judicial
branch. Rarely has the choice OF Presl-
dent involved more far-reaching con-
sequences, for 1t Is not improbable that
the next President will appoint at least
four judges Of the United States Sn-
preme Court. Upon these appointments
will largely depend the quality OF the
judicial work OF this great court for
years to come. Congress may pass
laws, but the Supreme Court %intcrprets
and cOnstrhes them and determines
their validity. The Constitution, with
It's guarantees Of liberty and its grants
Of Federal power. Is finally what the
Supreme Court determines it to mean.
Upon the learning, wisdom and char
actcr Of the judges Of the Supreme
Court rests not merely the just de.
termination OF the important matters
OF private right which come before
that august tribunal, but TO a very
large degree the course OF our pOllti-
cal history and the development and
security OF our institutions. In view Of
the vacancies which in the natural
course Of events will most probably o.
cur during the next few years we must
remember that we are about to choose
"A representative Of the people to whom
Is cOntided the nomination OF Federal
judges, II power second to none pos
scssed by the President. the exercise
of which calls for the highest judg-
ment. If we should search the coun-
try for II delegate Of the people who
could be confidently intrustcd with this
important duty it is probable that no
one could command higher confidence
than the Republican candidate for
President. Himself n judge, learned
in the wisdom Of the law. he COM
innnd"d the respect and esteem Of the
entire bar OF the country, without re-
gard to partisan division. Iiy litigants
and lawyers alike it was felt that when
he left his important place upon the
Circuit Court of Appeals to undertake
his difficult duties in the Philippines,
the judicial branch OF the government
had sustained II most serious loss. And
he has long been regarded as one In
every way worthy to succeed the pres
"nt chief justice of the United States.
With his fairness and nc,mcn. with
his wild" knowledge Of the bar from
which the judges must be recruited.
with his observation-disclosures and demo-
cratic sympathy and his keen interest
In all that pertains to the welfare OF
the people. we may he assured that II
he Is selected to perform this duty the
interests OF the country will he impair

REPUBLICAN,
PLAN RATIONAL.
Noted Financial Expert Advises
Against Inconsidered Action.
All Glasses Interested in Establish
ing Sound Banking System.

Victor Mornwctz, recognized as an
expert upon financial and economic
questions. says the Bryan bank deposit
guarantee plan would encourage wild
cat banking. These are excerpts from
a recent article written on the subject
by Mr.. MOrawctz:
II IL were true that the adoption or
this plan would make all deposits In
national banks equally safe and there
by would inspire confidence in all ma
tional bank deposits. as Mr.. bryan
claims. the plan would prove a direct
encouragement to wildcat banking
and would prove disastrous in the long
run. 1t would enable spectators or
Inexperienced persons to form n Mhnk
with small capital ami to obtain large
deposits on the strength of the guar
nnty, by Offering higher rates Of inter
est to dcjositOrs than II cOnscrvativcly
managed bank could afford 10 pay and
they could then Use these deposits In pro-
noting speculative or unSound ventures.
They would only risk the loss Of the
small capital which they contrib
uted and their individual liability for
an equal aLNunt. II their speculntions
should succeed. they would reap large
profits, but II their sprculations should
fail and the money obtained from lie
posters he wasted. the sound banks
would have to bear the loss.

IL am against those guerillas who
would destroy this most vital writ of
conscience. The court Of equity Is the
keeper Of the peoples conscience and
the writ Of injunction is It's most vnlu-
able power. 1t prevents the digging
OF a ditch that will damage adjacent
property comprls railroads to furnish
ears. 1t stays the hands of lawless
corporations from committing acts,
which once done would work an injury
that could not be amended. Under the
plan OF the opposition you take the
bride off for lawlcss wealth and bid 1t
run wild. Scores more OF injunctlons
have been issued against capital than
against labor. Name me one and ! will
name you at least 100 against capital"

MISSIONARIES CAPABLE

Taft Speaks Well Of Mission Work
in Orient.

III
Reference to the recent fattcring in
trrvirw about Mr.. Taft by Bishop Bash
ford Of the NJ. T.. Church in China led
the candidate into Il talk Of missions.
lie referred to II book written by DR..
q. T.. Morrison. OF the London Times,
in which the missionaries are criticised
rs not being Of real use. and sighting
reference Is made to Rice Christians"
These. rs Mr.. Taft explained. are the
natives who are said to pretend to be-
conIr converts only to enjoy the bounty
Of the missions.
"My own observations In the Orient"
said Mr.. Taft. "lcad me to believe that
Dr. Morrison's criticisms are not jus
titled. The missions are the OutpOsts
Of our western civilization In China and
the other Oriental countries. and I a
found the missionaries an earnest and
capable lot OF people. 1t was because Of
my observations OF the good done by
them IN the East that our government
established clubs On the sthmus or
Panama. and put Y. NJ. &. A. secretaries
in charge. We also employed seven
preachers. Protestant and Catholic, who
have built up churches. There are per
l,aps 10000 white people and 10000
others brought from the West Indies In

"I,educcd down to its final analysis.
this new Organism Is the most danger
Gus fallncy that he has yet advocated.
Ills main argument is that the state
and the national government exact or
bankers security for public funds, n
therefore that the ordinary dcInsit0r
should be likewise secured. The plain
answer il, an individual deposition has
the same right as the government to
require security for his deposits, but
neither the government nor the deposit
"r has any right to require II bank
to guarantee Il deposit in another
bank."-Oscar $. StrhuS, Secretary De-
