No Occasion
for Alarm.

From the number of remonstrances
which have come to The Journal re-
garding the proposal of the board OF
public safety to extend the bar-room
closing limit from to IL O'Clock at
uight, 1t Is evident that the public at
farse is very much interested in--or
possibly outraged at, would be better
term-the purpose of the boards reso-
tution.
The Journal begs to assure the pub
lie that, in its judgment, there is little
cause for excitement. The city coun-
Ell is not going to stuffIy itself by ex-
tending the closing hour. That mat
tor was thrashed out by the same
body OF men a year ago. All OF the
reasons in favor of o'clock closing
are Just as valid today as they were
then. and the arguments against II
are as weak now as they were when
the council turned them down a year
ago.
The penalty which the board recon-
mends for the violation of the closing
hour law is in itself very good, but
the closing hour as at present fixed is
pretty apt 20 stand. The council, as
we said before, settled that matter
last year.

The Election Law
and Sample Ballots.

Since the publication of the CORE.
uay rv5ururrfg Tne eIeCTIOn Jaw as ap-
piled to the carrying of sample bal
lots into the voting booths, several
persons and, in fact, Mr.. Morgan him.
self who gave the opinion which was
published. have called attention TO an
error which places the matter in an
entirely different light.
The law referred to by Mr.. Morgan
was the election law as it appears in
the revised statutes. Under the Grim.
ina1 code, however, tho matter is
treated in specific form as follows:
Sec. 3SS5-"BALI4OT NOT TO BE
SEEN. AND OTHER OFFENCES
Any elector who shall. except as pro
vided by law, allow his ballot to be
seen by any person, or who shall take
or remove or attempt TO take or re-
move any ballot from the polling place
before the close of the polls, or place
any mark upca his ballot by which il
may be iden'i ii. or take into the
election boot = mechanical device
ticket or me- fandum, printed or
written. otheg ilaa the Official ballot
or ticket to enable him to mark said
ballot or ticket, or any person who
shall interfere with any elector when
inside of the polling place or when
marking his ballot, or unduly infiu
ence or attempt to unduly influence
any elector in the preparation of his
ballot, or any elector who shall re
main longer than the specified time
allowed by law in the booth or com
partment after having been notified
that his time has expired, or who
shall endeavor to induce any electoT
to show how he marks or has mark
ed his ballot, or aids or attempts tc
aid any elector by any means OF any
mechanical device whatever in mark
Ing his ballot, or shall print or pro
cure to be printed or have in his pos
session any copy of any ballot pre-
pared TO be voted, shall be fined moi
less than ten nor more than one hun
dred dollars, or be imprisoned moi
more than three months. Any ballo
marked by the elector for identifica
tion shall be rejected"
From this it appears that the use
of sample ballots or other memoran
da in the polling booths is prohibited
II anyone places different construc
ton upon the law The Journal will bt
glad to hear from him.

money I loaned Jno Smith to build a
house and that which / loaned Bill
Jones to buy his wife a piano?
But if it is proposed that the banks
will give security for deposits, then
suppose the bank refuses to take my
money on deposit. Is it proposed TO
make law that will compel the banks
to take deposits and give the security ?
Then again, who is to be the judge
OF the sufficiency of the security
given? These questions are asked in
good faith and for the purpose of un'
derstanding the principles involved in
the proposition in dispute. Kindly ex-
plain the matter.
Most respectfully,
WILLIAM A. WALDEN.
Mulat, Fla.
Our correspondent has evidently not
read the Democratic piatform. for the
banking plank In that platform ar
swers his first question as follows:
We pledge ourselves to legisla-
ton under which the national
banks shall be required to es-
tablish a guarantee fund for the
prompt payment of the depositors OF
any insolYent national bank, under an
equitable system which shall be avail
able to all state banking institutions
wishing to use It.
In answer to his second question,
regarding security for money loaned
to John Smith and Bill Jones, it is
only necessary to say that neither Is
performing a public function in Dor.
rowing money to buy house or 8
piano; that neither is hedged about
| by the governmental restrictions
| which surround bank; that neither
or pianos; and that therefore Smith
| and Jones, in pursuing their private
businesses in which the public is nol
in the remotest degree interested, are
| to be considered in the same class with
banks which perform a public fune
ton and in which the whole public is
| interested.
| Mr.. Vaden's third question provides
| its own answer, for obviously if {
bank did not take deposits it would
hardly be a bank nor would there bt
any occasion or demand for security
i No one would ask security on some
thing which did not exist.
i In answer to the fourth question, a:
TO who would be judge of the sufii
cheney of the security given, We ma.
say that the law itself would be tn,
judge just as the law is now tn,
judge as to the security which nation
al banks shall give for the bank note
they issue or for the emergency cur
rency which they may at any time de
sire to issue under the emergenc.
currency act passed by the last con
gress.
} The guaranty of bank deposits cor
templates nothing more nor less thai
an enforced insurance plan unde
which a trifiing tax upon each BAN
shall be paid into an insurance fun

in this matter or if the answers give
are not satisfactory, we shall be gla'

Bryan and his supporters less encour

electoral votes than the east.
Consider the states of Illinois, Wis

braska, Iowa, and Kansas. In these
states are 80 electoral votes. Bryan
cannot get Illinois nor Iowa, nor Min
nesota without a veritable upheaVaI.
Wisconsin has plenty of Republican
weak spots, but the indications are
Taft will carry the state. Taft's
chances are the better in the Dakotas,
Kansas is close but with the RepublI
cans normally in control of the state
and Taft having some advantage. In
Nebraska, Bryan apparently has an
even chance of wrestling the state
from the Republicans.
Must Fight in East.
If this is an approximation TO the
situation in the states of the middle
west, then it is apparent there must
be a heavy concentration of Demo
cratic artillery on the states lying To
the east OF those named. Such a sit
uation would point to hard work for
the control of Indiana, Ohio, New York
and some of the smaller adjacent
states. This is exactly what is going
to happen, If present plans are carried

Mr.. Bryan is anxious to carry Nebras
