JOHN A. BRITTON
IS CALLED BACK
President of the San Francisco
Gas and Electric
Company.

Just before the Nippon Maru sailed
for Yokohama yesterday afternoon,
John A. Britton, one of her passengers
for Nagasaki, received a cablegram re-
quiring his return to San Francisco.
| Accordingly there was some quick work
to get his luggage out and arrange for
his leaving the vessel here.
Mr.. Britton is the president of the
San Francisco Gas and Electric Com
pany, and was on a pleasure trip to
Japan. He will return to the coast. by
the Hongkong Maru.
This is the second time that Mr. Brit
ton has been interrupted in a pleasure
trip to Japan. Two years ago he was
on his way to Japan on the steamship
Siberia when the San Francisco earth
quake and fire occurred. He received
the news of the disaster on his arrival
at Yokohama, and he came back i'm
mediately.
"The matters that call me back" said
M. Britton, "are entirely private bust
ness. 1t is not wholly unexpected.
w u6n L iSIlb hIlSW that 1IliSHl nc
called back from here or Yokohama,
But I was Interrupted on former
pleasure trip to Japan, and I have al
ways wanted to make that trip and so
thought I would try it again and try
and break the hoodoo. But I don't
seem to have succeeded.
Mr.. Britton will have to pay the 5000
fine for getting off here, he having
come in a foreign bottom from one
American port to another, and he will
have to pay fine of 5000 in order to
go on the Hongkong Maru. So far as
he is concerned the coastwise shipping
laws are like the negro's coon trap, it
is fixed to catch him a-comin' or a.
goin'.
Travelling with Mr.. Britton is Mr.. A
T. Eastland. an eastern capitalist, who
continues his journey.

Our 1908 Easter Cards

We are now displaying one of the
handsomest lines of Easter Cards this
season that has ever been offered to
the trade. These are cut out crosses
in variety of shapes, decorated with
spring flowers, angels, and illuminated
texts. The folders are shown in many
styles, exquisitely colored and design
ed. One of the daintiest is a series Of
ten designs with delicate green Dor
ders and green palm leaf cross with a
few flowers in the center. The in
scription inside is printed in colors an6
gold.
Among the novelties there are cut
out rabbits that have moving eyes,
and also large hen sitting on a bas-
ket with holes in it, behind which is
a moving card showing chickens peep
ing out through the holes. Among the
cunningest cards for the children are
little cut out chicks all dressed in their
Easter finery.
Out of town customers would do web

The argument of Mr.. Bryan and the
Democratic party is of such a nature
that it cannot be got over, under or
around, for facts are facts, and that
is all there is to it. Just ask anybody
opposed to it this question and he is
up against a proposition he cannot
answer: Does not the national and
all state governments ask for and re-
ceive absolute security from every
bank in which is deposited national
or state government funds? Does not
every banker on the face of the earth
ask for and receive gilt-edged secur-

good business for the small depositor
among the rank and file of the people
to have safety, security and protec-
tion upon his money. no matter
whether it be much or little? Who
dare answer those questions mega
lively?
The fact of the matter is that every
banker should be heartily in favor of
it, and it would not cost him a red
cent in the long run. for the reason
that the reserve fund he now has to
keep on hand would no longer be nee
essary, as there could be no such
thing as a panic or a run on a bank
under the guaranty plan, and thus the
reserve fund could be loaned out. and
the interest made upon it would far
exceed the tax levied upon the bank
for the protection fund.

Our Republican brethren tell us
that everything is prosperous. So t
seems. A great many bank presi-
dents and cashiers are prosperous be-
cause they busted and stole the peo-

Republicans are prosperous because
they stole the gubernatorial chair, got
all the officers and then sold the legls-

BOULDER BANKERS ENDORSE

Protection.
Mr.. w. H. Allison, president of the
First National Bank, of Boulder, and
for many years it's cashier, Repub-
lican who has been identified with Re-
publican policies actively in northern
Colorado for many years, is an arden.
advocate of the deposit guarantee
plank as proposed by the Democratic
platform. Mr.. Allison has been dele
gate to several conventions of the
National Bankers Association, ana
for the past several years he has been
an advocate of some such plank as is
now proposed by the Democrats and
vigorously urged by Mr.. Bryan. In
the recently published letter in the
Daily Camera, of Boulder, Mr.. Allison
strongly indorses the depositor guar
antee proposition. Nor is he alone in
the advocacy of that plank among
bankers of Boulder.
The directing factor in the National
State Bank is Mr.. James C. Hankins,
who is vigorous supporter of this
policy. The president of the Boulder
National is Mr.. George R. Williamson,
who also indorses the guarantee
plank. Mr.. Houston Jones, cashie~
of the Merchants Bank and Trust, a
state bank of the same city, approves >
of the plank and urges its adoption
both as national and as state
policy. Mr.. Allison contends that bank
failures would be impossible und~r
the plank proposed. His advocacy of
this plank in the earnest way in
which he usually espouses any cause
to which he is devoted, has made
many voters for the Bryan and Kern
electoral ticket.

Aside from the tariff and the trusts
there is nothing making Democratic
votes faster than the bank guaranty
FLANK in the national platform, for no
matter whether man is Republican
or Democrat he likes the idea of
or Democrat he likes safety for his
money and does not relish the idea of
losing it.
The Republicans make all manner
of fun, or try to, out of this advocacy
by Bryan, the Democracy and the peo-
pie, but the truth sticks up and out
just the same and will not be downed.
The recent national convention of
bankers at Denver very naturally took
sides against the plan, although they
did admit that something of the sort
was needed and ought to be put into
practical operation.
The new state of Oklahoma was first
to try the Bryan plan of state govern
ment guaranty to depositors in banks,
and it has worked so satisfactory that
money has been pouring into Okla
homa from all over Kansas and Mis-
souri,, and the national banks have
lost SO many depositors who withdrew
their money and put it into the state
guaranty banks that a majority of
them have thrown up their charters
as national institutions and have taken
out state charters.
The. claims of the Republican party
that the plan would encourage wildcat
banking is like the talk of children
and is not born out by the facts, for
under the guaranty plan every bank is
assessed a certain per cent. which
goes into fund for the reimburse
ment of the depositors of any bank
which fails. This makes the bankers
all careful to keep tab on each other,
and with their care and the strict
banking regulations of the state law
there is small cnance for any bank to
become insolvent.
1t works much like the law in China
in regard to banks and bankers. In
that country If bank fails and the
depositors lose their money because.
of it, the president, cashier and other
officials of the bank are taken out by
the government and their heads are
cut off with nice sharp knife. The

that before this notice was posted, Mr..

his approval of the course. Mr.. Eve

when questioned about the matter.
