A CONVINCING CERTIFICATE
That Every Voter Should Read who

The Democratic platform favors sc.

platform IL silent on the subject and
Its leaders, Mr.. Taft notably, OBJ
pose 1t.
The following certificate published
In The Commoner Is distinctly inter.
estlng at the present time:
Guthrie, Okla, June "a, 1pO6.-The
deposltoTs' guaranty law was passed
Dec. II, 1907, and was made operative
Feb. IA, 1908
Bank reports show that the effect
Of the law began weeks before the law
was In actual operation.
There are now 6b1 banks under the
law In this state, including "a national
banks. There are 255 unsecured banks
(all nationally In the state.
THE dates Of statement calls were
40 follows:
For national banks, Dec. 3, 1907:
Feb. 4, 1908, and May IA, 1908.
For state banks Dec. ii 1907; Feb.
70, 1905, and May IA, 1908.
From Dec. 3, 1907, to Feb, IA,
zoos, the deposits In the unsecured
banks decreased about an even half
million. The secured national banks
for the same period gained In deposits
about $4,000. State banks (all Sc,

TRUSTS ARE NOT HURT
But Business In Other Lines Has Been
Seriously Anected by the Panic
That Still Hurts.

Mr.. Taft says that the panic IL about
over and that conditions have about
reached normal. That does not CORE
spond with the view Of the Chicago
board Of education that 1900 children
go to school hungry, partly because
their fathers cannot get employment
and because Of the Increase In the
cost Of living.
The Saturday Evening Post, of re-
cent date, contains more statistics
showing that, according to the reports
Of the New York savings banks, the
number Of accounts opened for the
year ending July was 1900 less
than for the year before, while the
number of accounts closed was $4,000
greater than the year before. The
amount deposited was $50. 100000 less
and the amount withdrawn SAL, 100000
more. This shows a large shrinkage
In the savings Of tie people OF that
state. And now comes q New York
wholesaler with the statement that on
July ~ the firm addressed a letter to
the wholesale grocers, biscuit bakers
and cOnfectionerS Of the United States,
asking for figures showing trade con-
ditions at that time compared with six
months before. The following are the
statements for the eastern states,
southern states and the middle west:
staple groceries, 10 per cent. less in
the eastern states, IL per cent. less in
the southern states and per cent. In
tie middle west.
Sales Of groceries classed among
the luxuries, 16 per cent. less in the
eastern states, Is per cent less In the
southern states and Is per cent. less
In the western states. The falling of
In biscuit and bakers articles and in
confectloners' trade shows substantial.
ly the same per cent"
To show how the trusts can escape
from the evils that affiict others, Mr..
Bryan recently called attention to the
fact that a recent issue of the Wall
Street Journal shows that the Interna-
tional Harvester company made larg-
er net profits last year than in any
preceding year, and the directors OF
the International Harvester company
are largely the same as the directors
Of the steel trust.

Many Australian girls live right up

at home on horse as duck is in

20 miles or SO to pay a visit, says a
writer in Woman. Household duties
claim a share of their time, however.
and any day they are liable to be left
without servants and with a house

daunted by such an occurrence. Then
