East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-08-20

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 20.-Commls-
sioners on uniform laws, appointed
by the governors Of the several states,
met here today for what promises to
be an important session. Legislative
reforms of the greatest interest Will
be discussed and recommendations
made which may have a far-reachlng
effect.
One of the most notable matters
before the commission is the demand
of the commercial interests of the
country for a uniform bill of lading
form.
It is alleged by the representatives
of banks and commercial bodies
that gross frauds are perpetrated un-
der the present system and that these
have made bills of ladlng an unsafe
instrument of credit. The commits
sion is urged to draft an uniform bill
to be brought to the attention of con-
gress at the next session.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
On a Lonely Country Road the Re-
jected Lover Shoots His Sweetheart
and Ends His own Life.

Developments only increase the
mournful features of the tragedy in
which George Bradbury, 10, shot and
killed his sweetheart, Gertrude Priest,
II, on lonely country road near AL
pena, and then sent bullet into his
own heart.
The girls father, Charles Priest,
was just driving in from the country,
where he had been purchasing cattle
late Friday afternoon, when he saw
crowd gathered in front of the
morgue.
What's the trouble?' he asked of a
bystander.
"A fellow named Bradbury killed "a
girl named Priest" was the reply.
The girls father fell swooning from
the wagon.
Looking over Bradburys CORE
spondence in an effort TO find some
thing that would throw light on the
tragedy the officers came across a
letter which Miss Priest had written,
in which she says:
You are the only one for me.
will marry no one else. / would die
for you"
This was written before she made
up her mind to give up the young
man.
The coroner refuted the statement,
previously given out by the author
tiles, that the girl had been assaulted.

GUARANTEED DEPOSITS

The Ohio State Journal contains
the following, which points out in a
concise manner the objections to
Bryan's bank deposit guarantee sys.
tenn:
/. II we had the bank guarantee
system in vogue. and bank would go
to the wall. where would the other
banks get the money to pay the de1
positors? Why. from the people. of
course-the saving mechanic, the
honest tradesman. the widow and all
the people who use banks to get their
returns from and do their current
business with. You cannot get
800. 600 from the air or a pot buried
in the back yard, but from the people
who work and save and plan for COM
ing days.
2. The bank guarantee system
would tend to make both the banks
and the depositors reckless. The for.
mer would take greater risks because
they would not have to face the re-
sentiment Of people who lose, and the
latter would patronize indifferently.
reckless and reliable bankers because
they cannot lose. But the reckless
banker would have the preference, be,
cause he would make the greater
promises. So the project would turn
out to be scheme to encourage wild.
cat banking.
g. So far as national banks are con-
cerned, the law is now against the
guarantee So says the attorney gem
eral of the United States. And so far
as the present constitution of congress
is concerned. a guarantee law would
be impossible. Therefore the advo-
cacy OF guarantee can be for no
other purpose than to curry favor
with the few who think they need it.

According to Mr.. Bryan in 1892 the
country was going to eternal smash
unlese the republican policy Of pro-
lection was abandoned Immediately.
In 1895 Mr.. Bryan was satisfied that
nothing could save the nation from
complete wreck except the adoption at
once Of the policy Of paying debts
with 5O-cent dollars. In 1900 Mr..
Bryan was convinced that the country
would soon be under the rule Of czar
unless the republican policy Of imper-
ialism was brought to close with q
round turn. In 1904 Mr.. Bryan ca.
vorted over the country kicking
on general PRINCIPLES. but the country
was in serious danger just the same.
In 1908 we are threatened with the &C.
cumulated evils of half q century Of
republican misrule and the country is
certainly on its last legs unless the
Bryan motto, LET the people rule. I"
becomes the order Of the day. During
all these years the country has gone
along progressing in the path Of pros
perity and Of good government. the
people exhibiting during that time q
mild interest in Mr.. Bryan's particu-
lar alarm of the moment. coupled
with some mental queries as to what
he would do next. The tour of Mr..
