DEPOSITS GUARANTY

III HERE is hardly a day without its
illustration of the advantage of
n system of guaranty of bank
deposits like that which will be put
into effect when the Democratic adj
ministration begins its great work OF
restoring or effecting social and COM
mereial conditions which will bring the
greatest good to the greatest number
of people. If left to himself there is
hardly a Republican leader or speaker
who would not cheerfIlly acknowledge
the manifest advantages of plan OF
bank deposit guaranty or insurance
which is not experimental, but Is In
active operation in Oklahoma, where
its success has been indisputable. IN
der present conditions in most of the
states the depositor is not only taking
a risk but is stalking his future ana
the welfare of his family on an I'M
certainty.
The history of banking, especially
during recent years, has given numer-
Gus instances of the superiority of
system of guaranty over one in which
the depositor is unprotected. The ma
tional government may send examin-
ers into national banks to conduct
rigid Investigations, but by requiring
the deposit of bonds as a guarantee
of government funds shows its UNI
willingness to take the slightest chance
on any deposit it makes. States and
municipalities deposit money in banks
only when bonds are deposited as
guaranty. But the private depositor.
who has no means of gaining access
to bank in order to obtain exact in
formation as to it's financial status, is
forced to assume all the business risks
of the bank he patronizes.
Country banks as rule are in favor
of the adoption of guaranty system,
realizing it would be beneficial to the
banks as well as to depositors and
would help establish End maintain
conditions of busizess stability and
prosperity. However, the guaranty
plan is being opposed by some of the
larger eastern city banks which are
intimately allied with leaders of the
Republican party and represent what
it is now customary to call "the money
power" Therefore the money power
opposes banking reform and the Re-
publican party champions the cause of
the money power and opposes policy
which would be beneficial to the peo-
pie of the United States.
Twas ever thus.

NV HILE no Intelligent person VIII
w deny the power of mind over the
physical body, the question OF
the extent of that power and the man
ner in which 1t acts is one for invests
cation and scientific study. More than
century ago the philosopher Kant, In
his last work, "On the Power of the
Mind to Master Morbid Feelings by a
Mere Effort of the WILL" dwelt with
particular satisfaction on the benefit he
derived from deliberately training HIM
self to breathe through the nose only,
and on his success in overcoming s.
morbid melancholy which sometimes
tempted him to commit suicide. This
had it's source in a difficulty in breath
ing due to his too fiat chest-a defect,
which, being corporal, he could not
overcome; "but," he wrote. its in
huence on my thoughts and actions l
have mastered by averting my atten-
ton from this feeling, as if it did not
concern me at ALL" And thus he re-
covered complete composure and cheer
fulness by a mere effort of the WILL
Such 81 therapeutic application of Will
power is the converse of the state of
mind which makes many persons who
read medical books fancy that they
have all the symptoms described there
In. Some medical authorities have eX
pressed the conviction that most ner-
vous disorders are caused by mental
Incidence and passiVeness, a weak
yielding to bodily sensations and inn
pressions. Strength is given to this
theory by historians, who found that
during the excitement of the French
revolution number of persons who had
for years been weak and sickly became
healthy and strong, this being true
especially among the indolent members
of the aristocracy, whose nervous

do no good and only bring your iair
city unpleasant notoriety.
Every large city at some time mas
had the same experience, and 1t never
resulted in driving a single prostitute
from the city. 1t is well for men and
women to remember this fact for II
is a fact.
If a failure to suppress houses OF
prostitution makes your mayor GRIM
inal. then the mayor of every large
city is a criminal.
If is a lamentahle fact, but never
theless true, that prostitution is IN
creasing rapidly in our land. 1t IS al
ready a serious menace to society ana
unless checked in few generations
will bring ruin to the country.
1t is useless to say it must be
stamped out, for that cannot be DONE
It can, however, be curbed ana re-
strained and it's enervating and de-
basing influence upon men ana women
reduced to the minimum.
To accomplish even that requires a
thorough and careful investigation py
earnest and intelligent men ana Wo-
men, with a view of devising some
plan that will lessen the evil of TINS
the greatest curse of today.
How this investigation is to be MADE
is a perplexing question, as it is a
subject that cannot be fully dlscusse9 y
in the public press or before a mixed
audience. While it affects women even
more than men, they have but llttle
real knowledge of the subject and they
shrink with horror from contact with
it in any manner.
Intemperance and gambling are now
well under control in nearly every part
of the country, but their twin sister,
the social evil, flourishes as never pc
fore and is apparently beyond control.
Make war upon it and 1t simply
leaves it's compact formation and
spreads over the entire city, bringing
its demoralizing influence into many
sections which have heretofore been
free from this debasement. G. N. B.

NEW YORK DEMOCRATIC

n UR Republican friends who persist
in claiming New York for Taft or
" in CHASING it among doubtful states
are altogether too optimistic. The claim
is ridiculous. The Republicans might
as we'll claim the moon. No one could
dispute their proprietorship, but when
it came to collecting rents they might
find some difficulty in getting up to
business. There is nothing whatever in
the conduct or attitude of the voters of
New York to indicate they intend to
support the Republican candidate for
president.
Not only in New York city, but in
New York state, Mr.. Bryan's reception
has been most enthusiastic. He has
found all the heretofore divided factions
of the Democratic psEty in New York
city and state united into one great,
solid party; and the conditions which
elected Cleveland, a Democratic pres
ident, and Flower. a Democratic gov
ernor, are repeated. ST. liar causes
produce similar effects in all ages
and at all stages of the
worlds history subject only to the va
Ration of environment. Democratic
success in New York is as certain
this year as it was in any former year
when conditions resembled the condi-
lions which exist today. New York is
naturally Democratic. There is always
some local or fractional reason for its
action when it goes Republican, and
hitherto disagreements among Demo-
cratic leaders, and the consequent for
nation of rival factions, have afforded
opportunities to Republicans who, I'M
der the circumstances which from time
to time have prevailed, and which again
prevail today, would not have had 'the
ghost of a show"

DEMOCRATIC PROSPERITY

TN RIDICULING the suggestion that
there is the least likelihood OF
II financial depression following
President Bryan's election. former
Senator w. A. Clark expresses the
views of all who have studied the po-
ltical and business outlook. As Sem
ator Clark says, the country has out
grown the TIME when it's fortunes are
dependent on any mans election. out
side of that, it is unthinkable that
financial interests should deliberately
cripple or embarrass themselves in the
effort to discredit Democratic admin
istration. That would be worse than
frenzied f1panciering. 1t would be
frantic financiering. There is no rea-
son to anticipate any but the most
helpful results from the election OF
Mr.. Bryan. In the first place it will
allay discomfort, and this alone will
make it we'll worth the while. We in Cal
ifornia have little idea of the discon-
tent which is making thousands of our
fellow citizens in the east eagerly re-
sponsive to the advances of agents of
radical doctrines. There is every rea-
son to believe various sections of the
country would with difficulty with
stand the strain Of another Republican
panic and subsequent distress.
The experience through which our
country has passed was particularly
exasperating and calling because the
Republican prosperity shouters had
been so insistent and persistent in
their claims. Their oft-repeated as
surances that nothing but prosperity
could attend a Republican adminis-
tration made Republican adversely
harder to bear than if it had not fol-
lowed such a hullabaloo about the
good times coming. Never was such
strong lunged announcer. Never was
such n poor show.

A comparison of the national plat
forms of the Democratic and Republi-
can parties points clearly to con-
clusion from which a Republican can
not escape. The Democrats propose a
program in the interests of American
ism. contemplating reform legislation
"of the people, by the people, for the
people," The Republicans oppose the
interests of Americanism, dodge some
issues and pervert others by maladroit
misstatement The Republican platform
is exceedingly crude. 1t seems to have
been the work of an amateur Mac
chiavelli.

PLATFORMS

declarations of modern times. In en-
deavoring to find an explanation of
the fact that the Democratic platform
builders have outshone the Republican
platform builders citizens should re-
member that the force of sincerity is
one of the greatest in the world. The
Democratic platform is sincere. 1t is

Americanism. 1t means business. It's
Endorsement and advocacy of the prin-
ciple of guaranty of bank deposits

To reject such platform with all its
opportunities and suggestions for the
good of life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness in the United States would
be an act of folly of which we do not
believe this nation is capable. To ac-
cept the Republican platform, and
thereby invite the sack and loot of the

PUNCTURED BY
THE C0MMONER
Mr.. Bryan Shows How Stories
of Republicans Could Not
Possibly Be True.

Fairview, Lincoln, Neb., Oct. Sin an
interview given out late today William ].
Bryan denied, as has been alleged, that
he ever made a speech or wrote an edi-
tOrial against the granting. of pensions to
soldiers. On the contrary, he declares
that all of his platforms have Endorsed
pensions, and that he favors a liberal
pension policy. He said:
MY attention has been called to clip
ping from Republican paper which pur
ports to be an extract from a speech on
the subject of pensions, delivered by me
in congress. and the date of the speech
is fixed at Nov. IS, 1892. In the purported
speech | am accused of criticising the APP
preparations for pensions, and am charged
with using language unfriendly to the
pensioner. I desire to say that 1 never
used the language attributed to me in
congress or anywhere else. l never made
a speech against pensions in congress or
anywhere else. On the contrary, my rec
ord shows that l favored liberal pensions
to the surviving soldiers and to their de-
