Mr.. Bryan's Opinions.


deposits has probably found favor.
among all classes of people and ir-
respective of political affiliation,
more rapidly than any other pub
lie question.
The new State of Oklahoma has
already enacted a law taxing State
banks, the fund thus accumulated
to be used in paying the deposit
ors of any State bank that from
any cause becomes unable to meet
it's obligations. A special session
of the Kansas Legislature has been
called for the purpose of enactine
Legislation similar to the OkIaho-
ma plan. The governor of Nebras-
ka is considering the advIsability
Of calling a special session of the
legislature on account of the grow
ing belief among the people that
protection to bank depositors in
the form of State or federal guar
antees of their deposits will stop
the boarding of money, bring into
circulation sufficient currency to
conduct the business of the coun-
try, and prevent recurrence oil
such disastrous panics as the one
which we are now passing.
Mr.. Bryan has been an advocate
of law guaranteeing deposits in
State and national banks since
1893. The Legislature OF Ohio hat
adopted a joint resolution inviting
Mr.. Bryan to address its members
in joint session February Is, 1908
on the subject of Guaranteed Banl
Deposits.
Mr.. Bryan, in discussing thu
tariff question, insists that resi-
dents of the United States shoult
be permitted to buy home-mad'
goods at home at as low price a
the foreigner can buy American
made goods abroad. He also in
slsts that our government shoul'
J be by and for the people as
whole, rather than by and for To
, trusts, aud administered in the in
, terest of a few beneficiaries of til
|, trust system. He believes tina
national legislation for the purpos
of better regulation and control G
interstate commerce and commo
! carriers should supplement Stat
: legislation, and not be substitut
e for State Legislation.

 The steamer Jefferson arrived on schedule time last Friday night with the following passengers for Douglas: Leo J. Till, H. R. Elliott, w. Silva, Mura Lakich, Guri Bicyclas, R. G. Wayland, Carl Jacobson, c. Gentel, C.. Y. Yankai, J. Kursrai, Mrs. l.. Price and Miss Ethel Price.
 Don't forget to take in the entertain ment and dance at the Natatorium to-. night. It is for the benefit of the Fire Department, which is certainly a worthy cause; and then, there will be lots of fun.

 On the last Georgia, Bart Thane came down from Eagle river with a brick of gold valued at S8,7O00O, which represented fifteen days cleanup for a ten-stamp mill. This may not be con- sidered large, but with twenty stamps in operation and working in the new ground which has recently been open ed up, it indicates an annual produc- tion for that property of half-million year.
 We are requested to announce that the bowling match between the Mach inc shop team and the Foundry team came off last Saturday night as pre- viously announced at the Treadwell Club.

It is hinted that the next time the MouIders bowl poor Kelly will be given blue ticket.
