Boston, Sept. 3.-The famous
white squadron of the American
navy may become a green squadron
as result OF series of tests that
were commenced this week with the
big auxiliary cruiser Yankee of the
Massachusetts coast. Early in the
week the Yankee left the Charles
town navy yard, where every portion
of her exterior had been painted a
deep slate green. The cruiser was
then sent to sea for series of tests

or. and how it would act in various
sorts of weather.
Later the Yankee will be painted
other shades of green and the same
experiment will be made. The re-
suits of the tests will not be an
nounced until the experiments have
been completed. though 1t Is pretty
we'll understood that some of tho
shades win be selected. The navy
department recently decided that the
white-painteA warships we're too cas-
lily seen at a distance and their iden.
tity and power were clearly disclosed
as far as the eve or glasses could

GRAIN INSPECTOR.

Walla Walla, Sept. 3.-The Wash

State Grain Inspector John w. Ar
rasmith, who has just returned from

other cereal regions of the state says
the Bulletin.
"The growers income from their
wheat fields will be about the same,'
said Mr.. Arrasmith, "as during any
average preceding year. Ordinarily
we raise about 100000 bushels,
but the farmer does not get as much
for it as the price for which he is
selling this season. Notwithstanding
that the prices were good, even
high, last year, the growers are get
ting from 8 cents to 10 cents more
per bushel this year Wheat is much
better for milling this season than
that grown in the state last season
While the grains are shrunken and
little. they are very hard, making a
good kernel of excellent color and
strong in gluten. Wheat last sea-
son was very plump and starchy, but
was bleached out by the rains, was
soft and carried low percentage OF
gluten"
The crop or oats this year, NJ
Arrasmith says, will be only ha'
what 1t was last season. Last year.

year there will be but half a ton, or
30 bushels, to the acre. Barley sta

100000 bushels stayed in the
wheat belt. This was delivered to
the local mills, and used as feed and
as seed wheat by. the farmers.

TAFT'S MISTAKE

Candidate Taft has attacked the
plank in the democratic platform
declsring for guarantee TOR indiv-
idual deposits in national banks.
He says cit puts a premium on
and is an inducement TO reckless
banking. - Why Does the fact
that the United States, the state and
county governments must nave a
guarantee before tn cir money is de-
posted induce reckless banking?
Would guarantee law in any way
relieve a banker of NOR al and legal
responsibilities Is the average
banker of such moral fibre that he
is liable to become a criminal if ne
knows his dcpositors are secured ?
We don't believe it; it's the veri-
est rot, and, coming from any other
source, would be passed by as the
vapor ings of diseasd mind.
But why should not the individu-
al deposition be secured? Why, when
the confidence of the people has
been secured through the influence
of a state or national charter,
should the state or nation not see
that confidence has not been mis-
placed? Why should not the govern
mcnt throw about the property of
the citizen the same protection it
requires for itself? The people are
the government; why should one
be protected more than another, or
all more than one? If the bankers
are inclined to be dishonest, ism 4
il all the more necessary to protect
the property confidcd to them by
trusting public7 The banker is
not a producer-hc is simply a
money changer, and makes his
money off the industry of others.
Why, then, should he not be COM
PEELED to set aside PORTION of tina,
money as guarantee that his de-
posters, who receive nothing for
the money, except promise of safe
I keeping, will receive back the
money entrusted to his care? Mr.,
Taft is oft on the wrong track. II
guarantee law did put premium
on the bankers dishonesty il would
put premium on the deposition
security when that banker tecam,
dishonest, and that is what the
people want. Parma Herald.

UNFORTUNATELY BARNUM is
DEAD

Many years ago when the late
p. T. Barnum was in the zenith of
his circus careers one of the prin-
ciple attraction in his menagerie
was the ''hsppy family cage
full of various kinds of animals,
fowls and felines, all supposed to
be deadly enemies to each other,
but all dwelling in that peaceful
and tranquil manner known only
to those who have reached that
happy home on the other shore.
The remembrance of this chap
Ply family recalls somewhat SIM
liar happy family" in the Re-
publican party IN this state with
State Chairman O'Neil as the show
man, and the Statesman as the
man in front of the cage explaining
to the multitude the characteristics
OF each, their peculiarities SO fam
iliar to every circus going person.
With such a collection in, one cage
as Hepburn, French, Hastings,
Lansdon, and others, it is really ;
family worth exhibiting. We hav,
the assurance of Chairman O'Nei
that they are dwelling in perfec
harmony. With such assurauc,
nobody can deny it. OF cours,
Hepburn says that party pla,for
mean nothing and pledges are only
made to be broken. The Statesman
says that Hastings has violated tn
law and therefore has committed
felony punishable by impr isonment
OF Lsnsdon the Statesman say
that he is unfit. French has re
pudiated Hepburn and is out 70
the senator's toga.
Truly if Barnum were alive tc
day he would not be long in collec,
ing this choice collection and ea
hibit it as another HAPPY family.
But poor Barnum is dead. -Bois
Citizen.
