Danger has been the cry OF the.

Mr.. Carnegie's Joke.

last visit to Skibo Castle.
"Mr. Carnegie was entertaining at
the time Montenegran prince. The

set out in huge motor-car for long
run, and as we whized past an inn a
great crowd Of Highlanders rose from
the benches before the inn and saluted
us.
"The prince seemed amazed at the
Highland dress.

The Boston Schoolma'ams

Mr. and Mrs. Charley Winter came in
Saturday evening with Miss Rauseh,
Miss Benson and Miss Jones. the Boston
schoolma'ams, who have been rusticat-
ing in the Bruneau county. The only
thing that occurred to mar the pleasure
of their trip was an accident while re-
turning to Elko. The bur Of one of the
forward wheels came off and the wheel
took q spin on it's own account. This
let the axle drop to the ground and the
team began to run. Mr.. Winter
advised the ladies to jump from the
wagon and all, except Miss Rausch, did
so without injury. She struck on a
stone that turned under her and
wrenched one Of her ankles. Her
injury was not severe, however and she
and Miss Benson left Sunday morning
for Yellowstone Park. Miss Jones left
this morning for Denver.

While the riot at Springfield is a dis
grace to Illinois, it emphasizes the fact
that the people of the north are very

the colored brute whose crime started
the riot and none for the principle that
holds a whole race responsible for q
crime committed by one of its members.

There are a dozen controlling arguments
against the newest Bryanite Issue" We
name here but two. One is the very cir
cumstance that It aims to make sure thing
banking a fact. The other was well stated
by Congressman Hill of Connecticut In a
recent speech;
MY advice to you Is to take your savings
bank books with you to the polls, and just
before you vote look over the amount to
your credit, and decide whether you are
prepared by your vote to put yourselves
into a general partnership, with an I'M
known and unlimited liability, with all of
the banks OF the United States.'
No business has a right to be divorced
from responsibility by government fiat.
You can't lose" is the maxim of the
crooked promoter; Mr.. Bryan would write
it above every bank, csrefully and con-
servatively, or loosely and speculatively,
hanged 1t would be all the same to the
depositor, and so his savings would go, as
in politics Mr.. Bryan would have his vote
go, to the man that promised most.

attempt to grant the Filipinos their in
dependence. undoing the work the re-
publicans have done and opening the
islands to the loot Of foreign. powers.
In 1905 Mr.. Bryan became enthusi-
astic in his advocacy Of the govern
ment ownership Of railways. declaring
that all attempts to regulate the rail-
roads must end in failure. He has not
denied his belief in that, but evades
it by expressing a willingness to try
regulation first.
While public sentiment and the
votes OF the people have rejected Mr..
Bryan's paramounts as rapidly as he
has created them. the record fails to
show that he has abandoned any Of
them, but his attitude forces the con-
viction that if he is elected in Novem-
Der the country will soon awaken to
the fact that It has the 1895 Bryan

operations Of the banks and to be in
position to assume their just share OF
responsibility for papers, reports and
vouchers signed by the authorized Of
ficers of the banks. This decision Of
the comptroller resulted from the dis
covery that in many large banks too
much power has been lodged with the
officers of the banks in making loans
and conducting the business of the
banks, without accurate knowledge on
the part of the directors.
The reforms proposed in the bank
ing business may be adopted with
profit In other big corporations. The
directors should keep in touch with
every phase Of the financial opera
tions, the loans, Indebtedness, credits
and other elements of the business, so
that when the time comes for account
ing they need not plead to the stock
holders that they have been Ignorant,
uniformed or 'misinformed as to the
operations Of the company. When this
reform shall have been accomplished
and the sentiment is all in favor of
the reform-there will be fewer flnan-
cial disasters and less trouble over the
shortcomings of professional or dummy
directors.

Confirmation OF an administration of

No president has ever left the White
House with a complete record OF accom-
plishment.
No president ever will leave the White
house with a complete record OF accom-
plishment.
The things to be done by the president
Of the United States are too many. too
great, too complicated TO permit one man
to clear the docket within the prescribed
limits of presidential tenure.
But the people do know that President
Roosevelt has made greater progress with
the work in hand and has found more to
do and has done more outside OF the estab-
lished routine Of his office than any other
chief executive the country has had.
Mr.. Roosevelt and his friends may con-
fldently challenge comparison with other
Administrations, republican or democratic.
The Roosevelt record is especially re-
markable when II is remembered that evils
OF a quarter OF a century Of growth-some
Of them Of a half century OF growth-and
many sf them regarded as conventional
and permissible, cannot all be uprooted in
a year, or two years or five years.
Hence 1t is manifestly unjust for the OPP
ponents Of MIR. Taft to lay stress on the
lhihBS lndb are yet TO De done Dy tne pTeSl-
dent simply because Mr.. Taft basis his
candidacy on what Mr.. Roosevelt has ao-
complished and on his own purpose to con-
tinue the policies Of the Roosevelt admin
istration.
In the regulation OF railroads alone Pres
ident Roosevelt has achieved things worthy
to stand as the chief record Of one mans
administration
And as for the trusts, the abolition of
rebates. which for years were the chief
reliances for monOpolies in crushing COM
p%etitors, is the greatest single reform pos
sible in the direction Of corporation control.
But the president has made progress all
along the line-substantial proRress-and
the people know It. II the country can be
assured that the Roosevelt work will be
continued 1t will also be assured that
eventually the great evils Of business and
politics n public service will be ehmin-
ated and that they will be eliminated with
out paralyzing trade.
The election OF MI. Taft is the best pos
sible guarantee that the work that Presi-
dent Roosevelt shall leave undone will be
accomplished, along with new undertakings,
in the administration next succeeding.

Fundamental Objections to Bryan as
an Executive.
Kansas CITY star.

Kansas City star.
The most Objectionable thing about Mr..
Bryan is not his readiness TO attack that
which Is sound and right. but the chances
he takes in advocating hat which Is I'M
sound and wrong.
Either Mr.. Bryan fails to grasp the ire
mendous gravity Of the government prob
lem or he Is willing to make reckless ex-
periments with reference TO its solution.
The proposition Of free silver coinage,
involving a policy Of national population,
was attractive TO many voters, and Mt.
Bryan was willing to take chances witt
II as a doctrine. Within a year he has
declared that we would again be for free
silver II the conditions OF 1896 returned.
Because the government Of the Philip
pines was costly. and because, being
costly, certain voters would have been
pleased IL the United States had washed
Its hands OF its new possessions, Mr..
Bryan was willing to take chances by en-.
couraging the FIipinos in the belief that
II he were made president in 1900 they
would secure immediate Independence
policy that Mr.. Taft, who knows more
about the Philippines than any other
American statesman, says cost many lives
through the resistance to American au-
thority 1t encouraged.
Relieving that government ownership Of
railroads would make a strong appeal to
the voters, Mr.. Bryan was willing to take
chances in advocating such ownership.
And now. because 1t would please bank
depositors to have their deposits insured,
Mr.. Bryan demands the compulsory guar
anty OF bank deposits. The principle Inv
volved in the compulsory proposition is
without equity, and probably would be
declared unconstitutional. but Mr.. Bryan
is willing to take chances.
Because IT is right, and especially be-
cause 1t is popular, TO denounoe the trusts,
Mr.. Bryan demands a law that shall pro-
hibit any corporation or individual from
owning more than 30 per cent OF a given
product, a plan so revolutionary-especially
in relation TO small concerns that may
control exclusive lines-as to be not only
staggering to the conservative business
man, but also in all probability contrary
to the constitution. But Mr.. Bryan is
ready to take chances.
Mr.. Bryan stands for many good things,
many right things, and his platform in
cludes several important planks that the
republican platform does not contain.
But no man is safe who seems to re-
gard the government of the United States
as a political property, to Do juggled about
by inventors, opportunities. e~xperimenters
and Missionaries. The government must
progress along the lines OF established
principles. The man who is willing to
take long chances, involving the possIbill-
ties of the complete overthrow OF busi-
ness, is not a safe man for president.

DIRECTORS THAT q

Mr.. Henry Clews, In a magazine ar
ticle, makes a plea for more practical
directors in banks and Industrial com
panies. He insists that one of the
greatest needs of the day is for men
on the directorate Of big corporations
who are In position to give some per-
sonal attention to. the affairs of the
companies, and the scandals that have
become public in the last few years
over the conduct Of dummy" direc-
tors in the big insurance and Industrial
concerns Of the country furnish all of
the needed justification for Mr.. Clews'
demand.
The vital importance OF having d.
rectors OF big concerns actually take
a hand in the direction of affairs has
been deeply impressed upon the public
in the last few years of high financial
tension. and the comptroller OF the
currency has shown appreciation of
the conditions by formulating rules
requiring directors OF national banks
to keep themselves posted on the
