HEARsT's UNPoPULARITY

ME-. HEARST has managed to
N make himself disliked in Ari-
" zona territory. where his follow
ing has entirely disappeared. Every
Democrat In Arizona is sound" Kean
st. Charles of Mohave county has writ
ten letter in which he says "there Is
no Democrat in Arizona so poor as to
do Hearst reverence"
Arizona Democrats are loyal to Bryan
and regard Hearst as a traitor both tor
the cause and to former friend.
81 am sorry to say that the action
of the Hearst papers in throwing down
Bryan has reused a vengeance that can
only result in the stoppage of every
Examiner taken by Bryan Democrats
in the Kingman section of Arizona"
says Mr.. st. Charles.
-Four years ago we got together
strong for Hearst-spending S15O my
self to land at Tucson Hearst delegates
against the Ellinwood ring. There
seemed to be a principle in the interest
of all at stake then-the principle of
Bryan and Hearst.
"All has now changed and Hearst
has no more following among Hasa
yampa Democrats than Benedict Ar
mold or another Of the same cloth
Judas.
"We are all sorry to see disciple
fall from the top to the bottom by one
act of treason, when even the allure
ments of the pieces of silver were lack
ing. But the die is cast for Mr.. Hearst.
He is one of the three in history who
betrayed a good cause in time Of need,
reversing his work Of years and tum-
bling the building he erected down on
himself.
"There is no Democrat in Arizona so
poor as to do him reverence"

NOT ANGLICAN

TTE are heartily in favor of church
wv union, but again repeat our
" warning that, as far as the
Episcopal church is concerned, the de-
termined attempt now being made to
wipe out the identity of the American
Episcopal church by calling it "Anglo-
American" or Anglican" will make
trouble. A little discretion could avoid
this trouble.
There are many Americans who dc
not relish the idea of seeing the Ameri-
can Episcopal church gobbled up by
the Church of England, although they
would be in favor of a union of all the
Episcopal churches throughout the
world. That the Protestant Episcopal
church is the Anglo-American branch
may be correct, in a sense, but in an
{ Ter sense it is not. For instance,
some of the earliest American ministers
received q Scottish ordination, and the
Scottish Episcopal church, although re-
lated to the English, Is not branch of
it. but is much older church. Is there
any reason for branding an internation-
al church with the name of one nation
or two nations?
That won't bring about millennial con-
ditions of church unity. 1t will have
q distressingly opposite effect, and
shows on the >art of the bishop of
Arkansas and others in the United
States, as we'll as on the part of the
English bishops, a singular lack of
Diplomatic common sense and an as
tonishing unfamiliarity with human ma
ture. These honest and enthusiastic
men are busily thwarting their own aims.

feet of air. Shallow air sailing is not
as formidable as sky raking. why
should aerial navigators want to be
high flyers? What's the use?

CONSOLIDATION

TOSEPH H. CALL, president of the
Municipal Waterways association,
" in his recent address on waterways
and railways, said the combination
which now controls the railways and
commerce of the United States COM
prehends as a part Of It's policy not
only control of the internal commerce
and coastwise trade, but the closure
OF the ports of the United States to
the general public, the policy being to
cork up the harbors. This has been
accomplished on the Pacific coast
mainly by securing the enactment OF
laws by which the state has granted
to the railways or to corporations con-
trolled by them the tide lands OF the
state and in other instances by secur-
ing wharf franchises and the like.
The increasing Importance of San
Pedro will be demonstrated year after
year. Destiny and circumstances, as
well as the activities Of those who
have interested themselves in it's de-
will combine to make it one
OF the greatest harbors of the Pacific
coast. It is therefore believed 1t would
be for the best interests of Southern
California, with all that term means,
all it comprises, to vest the municipal
control of San Pedro in single, strong
which can be done by
consolidating with the city of Los An
geles the towns upon the bay and lay
ing the foundation for great CONNER
ciaI and manufacturing city which
can secure raw material and carry on
commerce as cheaply as any city in
the world.

NECESSARY REFORMS

N ORDER to restore the rule of the
people it will be necessary to Grip
u pie the influence of The predatory
interests in public political campaigns
by compelling publicity Of campaign
contributions. Publicity for campaign
funds was suggested by TIr. Bryan,
who has nothing to fear from the
suggested publicity. When a party is
reluctant to make public the names of
contributors to it's campaign funds Its
reluctance naturally arouses suspicion.
That contributors to campaign funds
should be afraid of publieity under any
circumstances is extraordinary. When
a man thinks enough of q cause to
be contributor to 1t he should not be
ashamed to let the world know he has
assisted the cause with money for le-
gitimate expenses. Mr.. Bryan believes
the popular election of senators would
break the power Of predatory interests
in the senate. The history Of the
United States senate in recent years
has not been creditable to the Repub-
lican party or to the country.
Mr.. Bryan believes a body of law
makers more directly responsible to
the people would be less likely to be
used by unscrupulous interests, and
that unscrupulous interests would find
it much more difficult to pack the
upper chamber" with their grave and
reverent 1ackeys.
A revision Of the rules of the house
is another practical and practicable
saI,
permit greater freedom of speech and
action in the house, but would not
make it less easy for the speaker to
thwart the plans of ambitious re-
formers.
To retain the Republican party in
power would be to postpone these and
other urgent reforms. Republicans
may talk as they will when they are
''out." but when they are "in" they
are the stubborn enemies of reform,
and their record shows it. AS Mr.
Bryan says: GAS long as the Repub-
lican party remains in power 1t is
powerless to regenerate itself. 1t can
not attack wrongdonig in high places
without disgracing many Of its prom
inent members. and it, therefore. uses
opiates inste , of the surgeons knife.
It's malefactors construe each Repub-
lican victory as an Endorsement Of their
conduct and threaten the party with
defeat if they are interfered with. Not
until that party passes through
period of fasting in the wilderness will
the Republican leaders learn to study
public questions from the standpoint
of the masses.
"Just as with individuals, the cares
of this world and the deceirfulness of
riches che Ike the truth, so in politics,
when party leaders serve far away
from home and are not in constant
contact with the voters, continued
party success blinds their eyes TO the
needs of the people and makes them
deaf to the cry of distress.
Republican malefactors threaten
the party with defeat If interfered
With" In .inglish even palmer than
Mr.. Bryan's, they blackmail their own

Guaranty of Bank Deposits

That fear and restraint would be as
operative under your bill as 1t Is now
and the influence OF the inspections
and the restrictions that would be for
mulated by these associates who have
to bear part of the risk that man takes
If he goes wrong is a pretty good as
surSnce that he will go right, and IL
he goes right he will be in conformity
with the principles of good banking
instead of going loose like a wild horse
on q prairie"
As this is a question of much impor-
tance to every person. whether de-
posltor or not (for bank failures which
involve loss to depositors cause many
indirect losses to those who are not de-
positors) especially appeal to the doubt
full voter. National bank notes are, and
always have been, guaranteed. There
Is no difference at all in principle be-
tween the obligation of national bank
to the holder of its notes and its obli-
cations to its deposltors. Therefore, if
1t Is O good thing Gas has been amply
proved) to guarantee one form of a like
obligation, why should II prove disas-
trous to guarantee the other form Of an
equal obligation2
The government demands a guaran-
tee for it's deposits in national banks.
why should not the individual depos-
itor be as fully protected as the gov
ernment is? In equity the individual
depositor has a stronger claim to pro-
lection than the government has, for
his loss must be made up by his own
efforts, while the government recoups
itself by further tax on the people.
With a guarantee of deposits there
would never be a run on bank. Being
secure against runs, banks could make
loans with more safety. And with
greater security in the making OF loans
banks would fail less often--and even
when they did fail the disturbance to
business would be small and tempo
rary instead of cumulative and long
continued as now.

IN cism, we were never counted
among the Bryan worshipers, and we
will not be so counted today. This
however. cannot prevent us from re-
garding Bryan as he is today and stat
ing the opinion thus formed openly ana
above board, Lays the Paola (has')
Spirit.
The like of Bryan has never appeared
in this country before. His greatness
has grown upon the people, and today
he stands before them the most power
full American who ever rose to emil
nence. either upon his own merits or
through the heritage from somebody
else, No instance has heretofore oc-
Cured, nor can any instance be ex-
pected hereafter to occur. In which the
people have so signally expressed .nein
confidence in any man. 1t is strange
beyond solution and intricate beyond
demonstration.
Without office, without patronage
without wealth, Bryan has more IN
fiuence in the United States today than
any five men that could be named, In
Guiding both Roosevelt and Taft. What
1t is that has put him next to the hearts
of the people we do not pretend TO say.
1t is beyond our reasoning and above
our conception.
Some say that he is loved like Clay
was loved others that he has the mag
netic power over the hearts of his par
tisans as Blaine had, and more contend
that he is revered like the martyred
Lincoln. But the truth is, that neither
the case of Clay nor of Blaine nor or
Lincoln furnishes a parallel. The love
for Clay was largely sectional ana par

IHl HE Oregonian of last Monday con-
tains report of an interview
with Postmaster General Meyer.
In which he strongly condemns the pro-
| posal to guarantee deposits in national
banks, and characterizes It as "one
step toward socialism"
Mr.. Meyers knowledge OF and ex-
perience In banking may be profound,
and he also may be of those "who are
so rich that their opinions do not need
the support of argument" but l will
call as witnesses against him two life
| long and very able Republicans
| Charles N. Fowler and Lyman ]. Gage.
In my opinion Mr.. Fowler is the
ablest and best informed man In either
branch of congress on the subject OF
| finance; and the Republican majority
/, in the house has kept him at the head
of the banking and currency commit
tee for some years. Mr.. Gage has been
banker for fifty years, and President
!, Mckinley selected him to preside over
J the treasury department In his cabinet,
says w. w. Catlin in the Portland
Morning Oregonian.
The fact that Mr.. Fowler incorpor-
ated in his own bill (known as the
Fowler bilD the feature guaranteeing
deposits in national banks is evidence
enough of his belief In 1t as a safe
and wise measure; and Mr.. Cages
opinion was stated in an address, or.
rather, an argument, before the COM
mittee on banking and currency of the
house of representatives, February 19
last. from which I quote as follows:
"The Chairman: There is one more
question I would like to ask, Mr.. Gage.
| Do you think that this guaranteeing of
deposits would lead to unsound bank
| ing?"
%Mr. Gage: No, sir. think the fact
that under your bill there would be
penalty for neglect of inspection and
| that there would be the machinery for
inspection would lead to sound bank
ling. The only restraint upon the bank
officer really is the fear of loss, not to

Americas generosity to the distressed
is illustrated again by the fact that
relief trains were rushed to Rawhide.
1t is a constant cause of wonder that
there should be any poverty or distress
in such a warm-hearted nation. Some
how we realize the plight of those who
are impoverished or injured by disaster,
but 1t is not so easy to realize the
plight of the poor whom we have with
us always.

From two until six there was a
constant stream of guests coming
and going. each one 10th to depart
from the festive scene.
The beautiful rooms were ar
tistically decorated with flowers and
smilax. In the parlor. where punch
was served. were colonial roses and
deep red carnations. Carnations
also abounded in the library and in
the pretty room where coffee was
served. Here innumerable red
candles twinkled from plate rails
and candelebras. In the dining
room, where refreshments were
served, the decorations were ex-
ceptionalIy beautiful. the color
scheme being blue and white. Ropes
of blue ribbon and for-get-me-nots
were strung from the chandelier to
the corners Of the table. while
large bowl of hyacinths greeted all
by their fragance.
