been aligned with the conservative
wing of the Republican party.
Mr.. Kagey was in Topeka today on
his way home from Oklahoma I
found the bankers of Oklahoma well
pleased with the guaranty deposit
law" said Mr.. Kagey. II talked with
some of the, leading bankers of the
state. and they are all satisfied with
the way the law is working. 1t has
been tested now for IS months, and the
national bankers are sure to take ad-
vantage of it.
II went into one prominent national
bank down there which had a sign on
the front saying This bank protected
by the state guaranty deposit law.
Hanging by the cashiers window was
a certificate of the secretary of state
to the effect that the bank had COM
piled with the law.
How does this happen?' 1 asked
the cashier. I thought the comptroller
of the currency had refused to allow
national banks to participate in this
guaranty law?' Well, he has, replied
the cashier, but we are doing it just
the same. Any time the comptroller
wants to revoke our license as ma
tional bank he can do 1t. He hasn't
done anything yet and we have writ
ten to him that we proposed to protect
our depositors. If he takes away our
charter we will become a state bank.
We had just as soon be a state bank as
national bank, anyway
And that seems to be the sentiment
among all the Oklahoma national
bankers. They are willing to come un-
der the state law. The bank deposits
are increasing. and everything looks
favorab BILE.
Il went to Oklahoma a strong op-
ponent of the guaranty deposit scheme.
What / saw there convinced me that l
have been mistaken I was opposed to
the guaranty law at the special session
of the legislature, because I thought it
was dangerous experiment 1t is an
experiment no longer. 1t has been
tested and is all right. I believe that
Kansas will have such a law in opera
ton within six months, and I think
that every state in the union will have
the law in a few years.
1.-The Republican plank looks all right
to me. The fact that the plank was
drafted and approved by Senator Fred
Quincy, who introduced the straight
deposit guaranty bill at the last ses-
sion, and at the special session. is good
evidence for me that the plank is all
right and means what it says

AN OLD TIME BREAKFAST.
What One Visitor Was Treated to AZ
Washinaton's Home.

The diary of Manasse Cutler, the
founder of Ohio and the author of the
ordinance of 1884,, gives an account Of
visit he made to Mount Vernon
two years after General Washington's
seath. We say General Washing
on, for that was what Mrs Washing
ton was pleased to call hjn-a copy for
all Uno5e good women W se husbands
have won them honor on the field of
war.
Mr.. Cutler says 1t was the desire of
their party to arrive at Mount Vernon
Ia time for breakfast q O'clock with
Mrs. Washington, but the bad roads
and worse horses detained them, so
they did not reach there until about
10, which Mrs. Washington regretted,
but she said, Breakfast would be
really In a few minutes" The diary
goe on to say:
'la a short time she arose and desired
as 10 walk into another room, where a
table was elegantly spread with ham,
cold corned beef. cold fowl, red her
ring and cold mutton, the dishes orna-
mented with sprigs Of parsley and
other vegetables from the garden. At
the head of the table was the Cea and
coffee equipage. where she seated her
self and sent the tea and coffee to the
company"
The point of interest Is that break

with sprigs of parsley and accompa-
MED with divers vegetables. Isn't

OF course the mere feeders, the fel-
lows that banker for hot things, may

and cold corned beef all In the same
breath is an appeal TO a conscientious
appetite that Is unresisting. And that
was breakfast of the long ago.

Makers of automobiles demanded more

stated showing an increase from 4, 189,
600 pounds to 5.594, 900 pounds. Raw
silk imports also experienced a pro
portionate boom.
1t is the same with the necessities Of

pounds recorded by the prosperity month
last year; and the leather men boosted

/. Considerably more grain for bread
and cereal food and more sirloin steaks
slaughtered or on the hoof, were car
ried by the railroads than in the normal
month of July, 1906. The American
car service association reports more in

eral months proceeding, although this

what looks even better is the announce
ment that the prices of imports, neees-
