A Valuable Ruling.

Mr.. Bryan's headquarters at Lincoln is deeply
interested in Attorney General Bonaparte's ruling
that the national banks of Oklahoma cannot comply
with the law of the state requiring the guarantee
of bank posits-renderng the depositors safe
against loss should bank fail
Mr. Bonaparte could not have made any other
ruling, as national banks are governed by national
laws. But the incident calls attention to one of
Mr.. Bryan's favorite ideas, to of the popular
p1anks in the democratic platform, to an important
resolution rejected by the national republican con-
vention.
The ruling will serve the interests of the demo-
cratic party during the campaign. 1t discrminates
against a class of business men in Oklahoma and in
favor of another class and its effect will be seriously
felt by the national banks, as national bank de-
positors will withdraw their money and place it in
the banks that insure them against the loss of
cent
National bankers can save themselves by SUR
rendering their charters and opening business under
the laws of the state and they will probably be
completed to take that course
The Oklahoma banking law will furnish an OBJ
ject lesson in security of deposits throughout the
campaign and it will be remembered that Candidate
Taft made very weak criticism of the bank guar
antee plank of the democratic platform. Mr. Bryan
will discourse upon the subject of guaranteed de-
posits and make it leading issue in his talks to
the people and in his writings.

In further explanation of his scheme, Mr. Rose
water said that when voter exhibited symptoms
of original thought, seemed disposed to follow the
promptlngs of his judgment and conscience, was
disposed to reason out the effect of a cause and
the cause of effect in his own way, he was looked
up in the index and persons were sent to him who
could influence hm-could play on his weakness,
take advantage of his mistakes
1--WE possibly send the man who holds the
mortgage on his place to talk a little with him, y
suggested this ingenious young man, pointing the
way out of the labyrinth of defeat.
There anything more diabolical in
politics. This is known from the practice of the
very methods contained in the Rosewater nven-
ton during the campaign of 1896. Thousands of
voters intmidated during that campaign by
the mortgage holder and compelled to vote the re-
publican ticket when they would otherwise have
voted the democratic ticket as a matter of judg-
ment and preference.
Mr.. Hitchcock is true disciple of Mark Hanna
the prince of political corruptionsts, if he adopts
the iniquitous methods involved in the scheme here
in elaborated. The newspapers say that he has
adopted it and will send forth his shyocks and his
character assassns the trails of debtors and un-
fortunates to b1ackmai1 their votes. 1t is to be
hoped that the newspapers have misrepresented
him.
Should he undertake repetition of the tactics of
1896, he will find that conditions different Over
due mortgages not plentiful. Men have
acquired independence of thought that will lead
them to resent the advances of the blackmailer
They have clad themselves in the righteous armor
of resistance.

A BIackmailing System.

The son and heir of the late Mr.. Rosewater
architect of the Omaha Bee, has inherited from
his father card index system in politics that
strongly commends itself to the chairman of the
national republican committee. So strongly, it is
said that the chairman has adopted it for during
the presidential campaign Under the System"
everything worth knowing about voter is made
always available, and Mr.. Hitchcock intends that
every voter in the United States shall have card
in the collection
The vo1ube young Mr. Rosewater in explaining
the creation of his sire, went into these particulars
When a new man comes into county, or when
a young man becomes of age, a card goes in for
him. If he gives mortgage on his farm or his
business we note it on the card Also, note
the holder of the mortgage. If he has any partic-
u1ar fad it goes the index card If he is
chicken fancier, we note it. If he's Methodist,
know it If he's Baptist, it goes down on the
card If his parents were foreigners, we know all
about it. We know his friends and his enemies,
his strength and his weakness, in fact know the
voter thoroughly.

A POstOffiCe Purge.

The mills of the saints grinding, slowly, but
quite fine A grist has been turned out at St. An
thony in this state, where Charles c. Moore has
been appointed postmaster in place of M. J. Gray,
removed
The new postmaster is a Jack-Mormon, one of
the kind that damns the Mormons when away from
home and eats out of their hands when at home.
No additional specifications need be given. He con-
forms the sanity requirement-lie to enemies
industrious1y when by doing you can, through
deception magnify the glory of the prophet and help
the business of the church.
The removed postmaster is not in accord with the
hierarchy, having been bold enough to look with
peasurable emotions upon the congressional pre-
tensions of Colonel Hamer who coveted the
position occupied by Mr.. French without the per-
mission of Zion.
Mr. Gray was charged with neglect of public
business by postofice Inspector and given
opportunity to present his side of the case although
the patrons of the postofce generally we'll salts

Bryan's Campaigning.

Candidate Bryan announces that it is not his in
tenton to make extended speaking tour during
the presidential campaign. He will remain at home
most of the time and discuss the issues through
signed articles for the newspapers and through in
terveWS.
Prior to the first of October, he is to deliver
a few prepared speeches, appearing at Topeka in
August and at Chicago on Labor day. He will at
the 9th of September and the Kern notification at
Indianapolis on a date not yet fixed. On the 26th
of September, he will participate in a farmers con-
gress at Madison Wisconsin. These are the only
dates and occasions that have been arranged for
In the several announced speeches, Mr.. Bryan will
discuss some of the phases of Mr. Taft's speech
of acceptance. 1t to him that Mr.. Taft is
not satisfied with the work of the convention that
nominated the republican presidential candidate and
that he endeavored to amend its platform in his
acceptance speech.
Mr.. Bryan says that Mr.. Taft "fears the up
rising which republican abuses have caused and yet
hesitates to adopt real and substantial reforms"
During his Labor day address at Chicago, Mr..
Bryan will discuss Mr. Tafts attitude on the labor
question and at Topeka he will deal with the demo-
cratic plank guaranteed bank deposits and Mr..
Taft's treatment of that issue in his acceptance
speech.
Mr.. Bryan is to deal with his opponent as freely
more effectively, for Mr.. Taft is in an awkward posi-
ton as the standard bearer of party that did not
want him and could not help itself, while the noni-
nation of Mr., Bryan has been followed by the sim
cere endorsement of all the elements of his party

A Horrified Newspaper.

Being afflicted with the anti-Bryan habit being
generally dsgrunted and most comfortable when
finding fault, the New York Sun wants to know if
it isn't "a pitiable spectacle"-Mr Bryan asking the
farmers of the country to contribute to the demo-
cratic campaign fund.
Evidently the farmers do not think so, for they
are responding so generally as to suggest that they
in accord with Mr. Bryans belief that the masses
much interested in elections the interests
Especially from the southern states, which The Sun
and other papers of its kidney said did not want
Mr. Bryan for the presidential place. are the small
contributions suggested by Mr.. Bryan coming in.
The people are responding according to their
means many of them sending only dollar, But
they buying interest in the election that will
last them until after their votes cast and
dollar apiece from great many voters is really
valuable as an election asset than great many
dollars from one voter.

legislation of pernicious character for money with
which to corrupt the ballot.
