TAFT STRIKES BANK INSURANCE.
Shows the Glaring Fallacies of the
Scheme by Plain Reasoning.

(frOm Taft'S Minneapolis Spccch)
Two objections are made TO the con-
cIusion that an enforced guaranty sys-
TEN would lead to rcckleSsncsS and
disaster in banking. one is that the
government examinations would pre-
won't and the other is that it is an
insult to the banking conlmuuity to as
sumo that the national bankers Of the
country, in view of their present high
character, would yield 20 the t"mpta-
ton to recklcssncss presented by the
system.
Il answer to the first objection that
the government examinations do not
now prevent banks from failing, that
il is difficult for a bank examiner To
discover the unwiSc rccL'Cs>uesS AID
speculative loans, and that often such
loans are made between government
examinations, and then the evil is uonr
and cannot be rcmodicd by strict super
vision.
Second, while | fully conccdc the
general high character of the bankers
throughout this country, my point is
that the opportunity to obtain deposits
and invest them on very little capital
afforded by the guaranty security will
attract into the banking business men
of no experience ana Of speculative
tendencies, ana win distinctly lower the
tone of the banking business

Attorney General Bonaparte has

The attorney general says his depart
ment has prosecuted all cases under the
Sherman antitrust or Interstate com
mercc laws that have been brought TO
his attention from responsible sources
where the facts disclosed warranted
such action. The attorney generals
letter saws:
There have been instituted during
the administration of President RooSe-

under these statutes. OF these - have
been concluded successfully, 40 have

there are about seventy corporations

Y. M. c. A. TACKLES
BIG TEAM

The Y. M. c. A. football team
will go to Pullman tomorrow for a
game on Saturday with the Wash
ington State college team. Coach
w. M. Joniffe has been putting his
men through hard practice in the
gymnasium and signals and for
nations which it is thought will
cause the state college team con-
siderable worry have been learned
by the players. There is no GER
tainty just yet what the lineup of
the team will be. Enough boys
practice every day to make up two
teams, and the heaviest and fast
est of them will be selected for
the Pullman game.
A week from Saturday the team
will play Blair business college on
Recreation grounds. This game
will be hard fought and the Y. M.
c. A. hopes to win. The teams are
practically evenly matched.
Although the Y. M. C. A. does
not hope to win at Pullman, 1t be-
lieyes it will win against Blair. The
Pullman team is one of the strong
est aggregations in the northwest,
and the best the Y. NJ G. A. hopes
to do is score against it and give
it hard battle.
Among the possible games for
the near future is one against the
Oakesdale high school. No date
has been fixed yet. Coach Joniffe
is in communication with the
Oakesdale management, and there
is hope of arranging the game for
an early date.

BY PETER POWERS.

The Women's Trade Union
league has just held successful dis
trict conventions in Boston, New
York, Chicago and St. Louis. The
program mapped out for the COM
ing year may be summarized as
follows:
To more effectively organize the
women workers in all trades, to
demand the same wages as re-
ceived by men for equal work per-
formed, to demand up to date SAM
tary regulations and safety devices
in workshops and factories to
wage uncompromising war against
child labor and demand universal
educational facilities, to strive for
the reduction of the hours of labor
to a limit of not more than eight
per day, to popularize the union
label and combat sweatshops and
the products that emanate there
from, and TO cooperate with all
civic bodies that are endeavoring
to stamp out tuberculosis and kind
red diseases that are traceable to
overwork and insufficient food,
clothing and proper housing.
The league intends to place a
corps of organizers in the field in
every section of the country and
bend every effort to bring the
women workers into the associa-
ton.

If ever there was a mutual ad-

listed in those American league
towns of ST. Louis and Cleveland.
Lajoie and McAleer are great
friends, the players of the two
teams like each other immensely
IF We can't win out, here's hoping
you WILL" had been the sentiment
of each club all summer.
St Louis was out of the race
BY losing three games to their
friends, the Maps. they could give
Cleveland that pennant for which
the fans of the Ohio metropolis
have hoped in vain for just 80
years of major league base ball,
and for which Napoleon Lajoie has
worked and struggled for four
years. Did they do it
Well, not so you could notice.
They beat Cleveland in the very
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1908-10-15

first game. And the one thing that
beat Cleveland was a wonderful
play by Bobby Wallace, former
Cleveland player, and a great ia
vorite with every Cleveland fan.
BY a marvellous stop and throw
from back Of second base, he re-
tired the side when there was a
bright chance to tie the score. The
decision made on the play, at first
base, by Umpire Egan, is said to
have been the worst ever seen in
base ball, but that is neither here
nor there. The point is that Wal
lace, who could have let the drive
escape him without the least sus-
picion of crooked work, who would
have done nothing out of the way
had he not tried to make the throw
to first after knocking down the
ball, eXerted every nerve and mus
Gle to make the play, and beat his
best friends out of a championship.
And what said McAleer later?
"Of course, my boys played their
heads off to beat Cleveland. Not
for anything in the world would l
have the least suspicion of laying
down attach to my team. We play
the game on the square all the
way through and friendship cuts
no ice"
Fine! Fine, Jimmy! Lajoie was
broken hearted, Cleveland fans
were broken hearted, the ST. Louis
fans themselves grieved at that
victory of their own team-but Nc
Aleer and the Browns played the
game on the square.
There was one team in the
American league which did favor
its friends in the closing games,
which did LAY down to help an
other team pennantward. There
may be a few fans in Cleveland,
and a few in ST. Louis and few
elsewhere who will wish that the
Browns had done likewise.
But no square sport does. Nc
Aleer and his team are a crdit to
the game, and the thing they did
is the sort of thing that makes
base ball the one big game.
