Taft, listening to the arguments Of

lot of depositors petitioning
bank not to guarantee their deposlls.
Speaking on the subject Bryan says:
"A bank asks deposits on the theo-
ry that the depostor is sure of re-
turn of his money, and the laws
ought to make the facts conform TO
the theory. The deposition, the com
munity and the banker himself will
be benefited by legislation which
will give to every depositor the as
surance that that which is committed
to the keeping Of the bank will be
available at any time. Such is not
the case today, for, while all banks
are reasonably secure, they are not

''Fogie" Opinions on Modern Youth.
Why are the young men OF the
present generation so distressing.y
eliminate, as compared with me
young men of 20 or SO years ago?
This question is asked by CORE
spondent who writes for an address
In West keusington, and who pro-
ceeds as follows to suDstantiate his
very sweeping assertion:
Young men of today" ne de-
clares, are tiabby mentally and
bodily. Most OF them look as ii
they did not have enough uourish-
ing food to eat. They are anemic,
pale faced, and painfully sad. Life
seems TO have no interest for them.
If there is suspicion OF bite
in the wind, the 'mollycoodles' viii
be wrapped in oppressive mufflers
and heavy over coats.
Go into a crowded restaurant, and
you will find Mandy pamby young
men sitting silently in front OF their
lunch-frequently merely sand
witch and a lemonade, while their
elders polish off good steak and
half pint of beer, and maze the
place ring with hearty laughter.
Sir William Treloar, who was seen
at his business premises in Lungate
Hill, said that the physique of young
men had improved TO a considerable
extent of late years.
But he added, 1.-The young men
Of today are more nervous about
their health. They seem to know
more abou. symptoms. If they have
a single pain they rush off to a doc
tor. l do not think we used to
trouble about such things when 1
was a young man.
'.Young men are more 'funky.'
They coddle' themselves more than
we did. 1t is of course, a good thing
to be careful. If a man does not
care he is likely to drink lot, but
every virtue carried to excess is a
vice, and man may be so careful as
to make himself ridiculous.
Many young men smoke far too
many cigarettes. George Augustus
Salia used to say that the blood of
a masher is composed of cigaret
smoke and lemon SQUASH and that
is more true now than in his day"
A Harley street physician, famous
for his outspokenness as we'll as his
professionional skill, delivered the
following emphatic opinion:
'@rhe modern young man." he
said, is blatant ass. His physique
is poor. His outlook is more restrict
ed than it used to be. He runs
away with the idea that the universe
is his, that he created it and that all
his learning was produced out OF
his own supernatural brain.
He does not eat wholesome food
but goes into cheap restaurant
where his appetite is initiated by
messy things that are no good to
anybody.
He ought to eat good English
meat and drink good English beer
A great deal of harm has been done
by wave of whisky drinking. Then
again many young men are slaves
to cigarette smoking. They are just
fops-self-conceited asses.
THE more we know the less we
know, but the young men of today
have not lived long enough to recog-
nize that fact"
And yet the so-called smolly-cod.
dle,-the modern young man is
the product and direct defendant o.
this generation of manly men, by
whom they are so severely criticised
First the cause, then the effect.

not whittier. thousands of feet
above the earth, he fell fast asleep.
Surely man never slumbered under
more APPALLING conditions.
Matteray must have remained iii
that stupor for long time, for the
next he remembered was being awak-
ened by a violent jerk. Looking
around him dazedly, he discovered
that the framework of the airship

fast to branch and stay the dere-
lict's course. Then he scram bled hur-
riedly to the ground, hauled the now
flabby balloon with him, and moor

he made a bed out of it at the foot
of the tree, and fell asleep again
He was awakened in the night by
a big black bear The animal smiling
around but did not attempt to do
any harm, which was luckily for Mat
teray, seeing that he was quite I'M
armed and weak from exhaustion.
Dozens of deer also came near him.
They would give a look at the
strange shape in the air and then
dash away in alarm.
In the morning, stiff, sore and
very hungry, Matteray set off to try
and find some human habitation
For four hours ne struggled along
through dense swamps, and at last.
after ten miles of walking and wad-
ing, he found himself back at his
starting point, having travelled in a

This discovery would have sufficed
to break many mans resolutions,
after all that he had already endur-

er stuff. Taking careful bearings,
he set off again, and finally. after
hfteen-mile tramp, reached the town
|of Wolverine, Cheboygan county,
Michigan, in a pitiable condition.
Next day. though still feeling the
effects of his prolonged vigil in the
clouds, he drove out to the scene of
his landing to recover his airship
On reaching the spot, however, Cap

THE FINAL WORD.

Within few short hours the vo-
tiers of Texas will have announced
by their ballots for or against Bal
lcyism. We are honest in the convic-
ton that no question of greater or
more lasting import has ever been
considered, and we are hoping and
praying that the voice of this great
state will proclaim to the world that
Texas democracy believes that hon

This paper has no other interest
in the matter at issue than that
which pertains to good citizenship.

false to democracy as it understands
it, and false to the magnificent com
monwealth it represents had it main
tanned silence, or worse still. neu-
trality, in the face of what it re-
CARDS as a tremendous crisis in the
history of this people. AS says the
Hon. Yancey Lewis, former dean of
the law department of the University
of Texas and who introduced Mr..
Bailey to a Dallas audience as late
as October, 1906, More and more,
it has been borne in upon me, as the
campaign progressed day by day,
that the people of Texas faced an
overshadowing moral crisis. That
being the case, the man who casual
ly or flippantly or blindly comes to
the consideration of this question is
Baileyism or against Baileyism, Let
every man, as says the Apostle
Paul, be persuaded in his own
mind" The highest patriotism de-
mands serious thought at this mo-
ment; let us do nothing which will
cause regret on our part and bring
reproach from our posterity. This is
applicable to all; think and think
seriously.
AS declares that splendid demo-
cratic paper, the Waco Times-Her-
aid so do we say that the Light
would be only too glad to champion
the cause of Senator Bailey could it
endorse his conduct. In the first
place it prefers TO build up; it de-
lights TO extend a helping hand; and
in the second place it recognizes in
Senator Bailey great man, one who
but for the great mistake he has
made could do Texas much good.
