 KILLED BY TRAIN
Prominent Physician of Troy Struck By Coast Line Train and Dies
 In a Short Time.

Montgomery, August 27.-A special from Troy, Ala, says: Dr. E. H.

 Reforms In Kansas. -.
 have selected the capital of the state of Kansas as the most appropriate place for the delivery of speech upon this subject, because your neighbor upon the south has been a. pioneer in this reform. Her plan as you know, has been such a signal success that deposits have been drawn across the line from your state into Oklahoma. The alarm caused by this
 invasion of your banking territory caused your governor to include in his call for special session recommendation Of the passage of law similar to that of Okla homa. When the legislature met. however, the influence of the large banks was sufficient to prevent the needed leg islation, and your state still suffers. The people of Kansas have had an object les son; they know the necessity for a law guaranteeing deposits. They have seen it's benefcent results in a sister state; they have seen 54 national banks taking advantage of the state system and reap ing a rich reward. They have heard the echo of the blow that has been struck , at the national banks of Oklahoma by the Attorney Generals ruling, which de- nies to such banks the right to share Tn the benefits of the state guaranty system that echo being the surrender of char ters by national banks which prefer to become state banks rather than surrender the benefits of the guaranty system. They have also seen how the influence Of a few big banks, concentrated upon a legislature, can defeat the wishes or the smaller banks and the desire of the de- positors all over the state.

 Servant of Corporations.
 Why has the republican party been so
 quick to respond to the demands of Wall street and so slow to yield to the de- mands of the masses? There are two reasons: first the republican panty has allowed itself to become the servant of the favor-seeking corporations; and sec ond, too many republican leaders look at questions from the arstocratic standpoint, the standpoint of the few-rather than from the democratic standpoint. the many They legislate upon the theory that society is suspended from the top, I and they fall, therefore, to understand 1 either the evils that afflict the body pol l itis. or the remedies that are needed. l The democratic party, viewing questions 1 from the standpoint of the whole people. 1 easily sees that which republican leaders | do not discover, and it's remedies begin with the relief of the average man.

MT. Taft complains that mo one can foresee the burden which under this sys- tenn would be imposed upon the sound and conservative bankers of the country by this obligation to make good the losses caused by the reckless, speculative and dishonest men," etc. We have the past to guide us, and we have reason to be- lleve that the loss will be less in the fu- ture than in the past, because when banks become mutually responsible for each others deposits, they will be suffi- ciently interested in each other to favor better regulation and greater restrictions.
 What has MT. Taft done to protect de- positors from recklessness and specula- tion? While he refuses to protect depos- itors, he praises the Aldrich-vreeland law which invites speculation and stock job ping. In declaring that the system pro posed by the democrats would remove all safeguards against recklessness in banking" MT. Taft betrays ar ignorance of the subject. for the plan does not
