The Riggest In the World.

The tremendous report Of the state
bank commissioner issued today
$40, 700, 900 on deposit in the banks
OF Kansas. belonging to Kansas peo-
pie. This is over &1l5 per capita.
The figures are so large they fairly
overwhelm. In 1896, during Mr..
Bryan's first campaign we had only
$50, 100000 on deposit. In twelve
years that surplus in actual cash has
been multiplied nearly six times,
while the population Of the state has
increased only ten per cent. The
condition today in Kansas shows how
purely imaginary the financial furry
was Just a year ago, so far as the
middle west is concerned. The state
ment Of the bank deposits of Kansas
gives this state the largest per capita
holding Of ready cash, subject to
check, Of any state, province or king
dom in the whole world. This el70,.
900, 900 is only our loose change. II
is only the surplus Of ready money.
The taxable property is over two and
one-hali billions.

it is his own opinion and that the

PARsIFAL WAS FINE.
The Best Religious Drama at the
Seelye.

SeeIye.
Saturday night Parsifal was given
at the Seelye to good audience that
pronounced it the finest religious
drama ever given in Abilene. 1t was
a guaranteed attraction and merited
a larger attendance, but those present
listened for nearly four hours to the
play which abounded in beautiful sem
timent, staged with superb excellence
and presented by a company Of artists.
The strongest characters Of the show
were Parsifal. the pure-minded sol
der Of the cross, and Kundry, the
fairest Of all women. They we're sup
ported by company Of extraordinary
strength. At the close OF each act
the applause Of the audience brought
the curtain up three or four times
before the leaders we're permitted to
retire.
Frank Evans played the part Of
Parsifal, shepherd and knightly ward
Of the Holy Grail. 1t was very diff
cult part and be handled it to the ad-
miration Of everyone. Mr.. Kelvin in
the part OF Klinschor, the Black
Knight, was splendid and his art Of
witchery appeared more mysterious
by the aid Of his impish servant. The
character OF Kundry was taken by
Winifred Burk. This was one Of the
leading parts and one that required
the skill Of 3 great player. The en-
tire company could not have been
better selected, fact only that made
possible the playing Of 50 difficult a
production without flaw.

Mr. Bryan strongly reminds one q
Mr.. Cleveland he Is 90 different,
They are tied for The record Of having
been three times nominated for the
presidency q the United States. but
Mr.. Cleveland has the long end Of the
honors by having been twice elected
and only once defeated, while Mr..
Bryan has been twice defeated and
never elected.
Mr.. Cleveland was elected for sub
stantially the same reasons % those
for which Mr.. Bryan has always been
beaten says the Kansas City Journal.
He was elected sheriff, mayor, gov
ernor and president because he proved
himself fitted for the successive pro-
motions which raised him TO the high
est Office in the gift Of the people.
Mr.. Bryan has been twice defeated
for the presidency because, for one
reason, there is no popular confidence
in his competency to administer the
duties Of the office. Mr.. Taft will be
elected because he has proved himself
abundantly equipped through an ex-
perience in comparison with which
that Of Mr.. Cleveland was limited. Cd
Mr.. Cleveland was the idol Of bis
party because be proved that he
could win, and be could win because
he subordiuated his personal ambi-
tons to his ideals Of public Office. He
was elected because Of a mistaken idea
on the part ola majority Of the peo-
pie Of the United States that his pol
| icies would correct conditions which
seemed to demand a change. Mr..
Bryan has been defeated twice, and
will be defeated third time, because
he has never made q sacrifice for prin-
Ciple or for party. He has never hes
itated to adopt policy that seemed
TO be popular, or to discard It when
it became unpopular. His political
backyard is strewn with the cast-off
1
issues which at one time or another
have served him for rallying cry,
and, as Mr.. Taft SO felicitously puts
it, he is the only living statesman
who has proved the utter iutility Of
his own theories, who has refuted all
Of bis own prophecies and has ad-
mitted the egregiOusness Of his own
mistakes.
Grover Cleveland would have gone
down into political oblivion before he
would have accepted financial or in
dustrial doctrines which we're to him
heretical. William j. Bryan has
never know day when be would NOT
have thrown overheard any policy OF
principal that threatened to b. Q
