Got Excited

There was considerable of a crowd
in town Saturday, and among other
entertainments offered were two
sets Of blind people making music
and singing. 1t seems that one Of
them attracted quite a crowd, suf'
ficiently so to keep the sidwealk
blocked for a considerable length
of time.
This caused Marshal Wilson some
trouble and he tried to get the per-
Torrance stopped long enough to
clear the walk. This brought on
trouble between the marshal and the
blind man, and this caused the man
to be arrested, and then the crowd
got warm.
We all have rights in this country,
but don't think your are more i'm
portant than the other mans.

srv,n and the Tarin


In his speech at Des Moines on
the tariff, Bryan uncovered a little
Of the inside history Of the Chicago
convention. He plainly demonstrated
why it was that Joe Cannon WIS so
anxious that Sherman should be the
vice presidential nominee. She man
has for four years been a "standpat-
ter" and in thorough accord with 9TH
er of Speaker Cannon's policies. In
case of Republican success this fall
Cannon will again be made the speak
er of the house. During the last ses-
sion he very effectively blocked any
attempts at rearranging the tariff
schedules. He will do the same again
this fall If he is placed in the same
position. His presence will guarantee
that the house will do nothing in
this line. What was needed then,
was a man at the head of the SEN
ate who would work with the Aldrich
and Cranes and others to block any
movement in that body. Speaker Can
non picked Sherman for the Job as
he knew the interest Of the Inter
ests" would be safe in his hands.
Cannon saw to it that the heads of
these organizations we're right" and
guarded against a possible majority
for the reformers among the members
With Cannon at the head of the
house and Sherman at the head of
the senate what relief can be expecte
of a Republican congress as far as
reform in the tariff system and re-
visal of the schedules is concerned?
It is merely a cut and dried scheme
of the Illinois congressman to balk
any tariff reform. Even if a MAORI
ty of the party were sincere and Taft
should urge such a measure, is II
to be expected that it would be
Forthcoming with Cannon in charge
Of the house and a man who will do
his every bidding, at the head of the
senate?
And in the meantime the American
people would 90 ahead paying more
for suit of clothes in this country
than they would have to pay for the
identical article in England. They
would continue to pay $40 or ST.
more per ton for steel rails made IN
this country than the same articles
are selling in Russia. The manufac
turers are not selling the steel rails
and the clothing at cost or less than
cost in England. There is something
radically wrong with a system which
allows them to ship articles across
the ocean and sell them for les:
than they do at their own doors. Bu'
Cannon and Sherman both are in fav
or of this procedure.
Mr.. Bryan truthfully says;
There is no prospect for reliei
from Republican president and con
gress. The Democratic party, if en-
trusted with the power, can and will
reduce the tariff" Hutchinson Ga

The euaranty,s First Test

The Oklahoma state banking board
has practically adjusted the affairs
Of the failed International bank al
Collegiate. which failed May 81, owing
about $4,000 to depositors. The
bank was under the state guaranty
law, and the state banking board
placed $4,000 In the bank for the i'm
mediate payment OF depositors. All
except $500 Of this sum has been pat
back to the state. and cash Is on
hand for payment Of this $500.

In his speech Of acceptance MI.
TAFT puts himself squarely on record
as being opposed to guaranteed de-
posts. The democratic platform re
ommends tax upon national banks
and upon such state banks as may
come In, In the nature Of enforced In.
surance to raise a guaranty fund to
pay the depositors, Of any bank that
fails. The proposal is wholly i'm.
practicable unless 1t is to be accom-
panied by a complete revolution in
our banking system, with supervis.
ion so close as practically to ere
ate a government bank. If the p:o
posals were adopted exactly as the
democratic platform suggests it would
bring the whole banking system Of
the country down in ruin"
Why seek to confuse the people on
simple proposition? We are sup
poesd to have government supervision
of national banks now. Supervis or
does not mean a government tank
it simply means that the nat ona
bank inspectors will do just as ttey
are expected to do under existing
law-make their examination of bank
thorough and make prompI and e..
fective correction Of any irregularitie
discovered. So it will be difficult tc
brighten the people by the claim tina,
guaranteed deposits means tho. oIgf
supervision of banks. That's just ex
actly what the people want.
1t is absurd to say that guaranteed
deposits would bring the whole
banking system of the countr!
down to ruin"
What does guaranteed deposits,
mean? 1t means that the savings o.
the masses shall be secured so tina
when men and women deposit theil
hard-earned money in banking institu
tons, they need not worry for feal
it will be lost through the reckless
ness and dishonesty of bank officials
The federal government demands o
these banks security for the none.
1t deposits. As a rule, state gov
ernments and county governments an
county governments and municipal g
ernments make similar requirements
But now that it is proposed that de
positors generally shall have som
such assurance for the safe keeping
of their wealth, we are told by the n
publican candidate for the presiden
cy that the adoption Of such a sys
tenn would bring the, whole banking
system Of the country down to ruin
1t is to save the banking business
and to save the peoples money tina
the plan of guaranteed deposits i
advocated by democrats. It is strang
that Mr.. Taft and the big bankers TO
whom he speaks can not see that tn
guaranteed deposits system is ahsC
lutely necessary for the prevention @
panics, for the safe keeping of tn
money of the masses and for tn
preservation of the banking bushes
in the hands of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

world ever congregated in Eastern
Oregon. Opposite to them sat lead
ing business and professional men
Of La Grande, and at the three long

the entire length of the spacious ban
quet room of Fraternal hall, sat $50

Strictly Enforce
Prohibition Law
Judge Knowles Calls Special Alton
t'on of Grand Jury to Liquor
Statute.

Strict enforcement of the prohibi
olon law was the keynote of judge
Knowles charge to the grand iury
Monday. The law was adopted by
majority of the voters of this CONT,
and endorsed by still larger major
ity when re-submi ted last June, and
should be enforced as is any othel
law, says the court.
The following grand Jury was
sworn; j. M. Casteel, Olof Anderson
3. F. Sergeant, T. ]. DRYDEN. G w
Nell, Albert Wilson, D. d. Brock.
Judge Knowles especially charged
me jury in regard to the local op-
lion law. He cited the fact of its
adoption by this county by a vote of
jl5 in favor to 532 against prohibi-
Ion at the election in June, 1906,
ihd It's resubmission in June last
when the majority was Ais. He then
read Sections Is and II of the local
option law of 1905, which have here
tofore been published in full by this
paper. Concluding, the Court said:
AS long as this law is upon tho
statute book Of this state It should
be enforced with the same rigor as
any other law. If it is a good law
land the people of this county seem
20 think 1t is by the increased major
'ty they gave to prohibition at the
last election) it should be enforced
on account of the good its enforce.
ment will do the community. Upon
the other hand, if it is bad law,
the best and quickest way to get rid
OF 1t Is to enforce it to the letter."
The grand jury has been in ses
sion all week and has returned in
dictments against Moxley and How
ard and one or two others not made
public. 1t is expected to make final
report today.
