RECEIVES JAPANESE PAPER.
Far Away Publication Contains Pic
ture of Fergus County Girl.

Mrs. NJ. D. Deaton last week re-
ceived from her daughter, Miss
Georgia, a copy OF the Yorodzu
Choho (whatever that may mean) a
paper published in Tokyo, Japan. The
paper contains picture of the six
young ladies sent to the Orient by
the most progressive newspapers OF
this state and the picture OF Miss
Deaton, the Democrats contest win
ner, is especially good. The paper is
printed on much poorer grade Of
news print than is used in this coun-
try and bears very little resemblance
to an American publication although
it is profusely illustrated.
The paper prints about a hal
colume of matter in the English Ian
guage, from which the following j!

BECLOUDING TIE ISSUE.

Helena Independent: Postmaster
General Won L. Meyer, has been
visiting Mr.. Taft and expressing his
views on the bank deposit guarantee
plank of the democratic platform. 1t
may be noted in passing, says the
Salt Lake Herald, that this particular
plank has found such favor in the
west and middle west that Mr. Taft
and his advisors are greatly worried
about it and are trying to concen-
trate their fire on it.
Mr.. Meyer is worried about the
danger to the conservative and
honestly managed banks that would
befall them from the misdeeds Of
reckless bankers. He says:
"The guaranteeing of deposits by
all national banks would mean moth
ing less than the conservative and
honestly managed banks would have
to pay the debts of banks which have
been badly and dishonesty managed.
Under this system there would be
nothing to prevent not over scrup-
ulous banking officer in the compe-
tition of obtaining deposits, claiming
that they had no risks, as deposits
are guaranteed. The bank in turn
would have to make investments
which would involve great risks in
order to make any money.
"If successful, this would tend to
increase speculation, which is one of
the misfortunes Of the present day,
with the wildcat schemes and high
finance that have been 50 much in
evidence within the last year"
Too bad, isn't it? But what does
Mr.. Meyer suppose would happen
|if a guarantee law were passed?
Wouldn't the law provide for an
examination of banks and their secur-
tiles such as would weed out the mot
over scrupulous bankers?" Wouldn't
it result in an examination system
that would examine, and not such a
farce as the national bank examina-
tions which enabled John R. Walsh
to loan himself millions Of his de-
positors' money, right under the nose
of the national bank examiners?
All this talk about the dishonest
bankers profiting by guarantee law
is plain buncombe on the face of it.
When the banks of New York got to-
gether and guaranteed millions OF
illegal money last fall, what happen
ed? The mot over scrupulous bank
ers," the Schwabs and Thomases and
Itheir like, were driven out of the
business simply because they had to
show their securities before the clear
ing house would guarantee their de-
posts; and the clearing house found
they had not complied with the law
had been specializing with depositors
funds and otherwise discrediting their
business.
| Whether it is possible to frame a
law that shall do exact justice to all
classes Of banks is one question; but
there can be no question about the
effect a guarantee law would have
on the dishonest bankers; it woult
compel them to submit to sucl
scrutiny and publicity that they coult
not continue in the business.
Which would be good thing fo
the other banks as we'll as for al
depOsitOrs.

MISSIONARY MEETING
DISCUSSES TEMPERANCE

New Orleans, Oct. 14.-Ministerial
relief, church extension and temper
ance were the important questions
discussed at the international mission
airy convention of the churches or
Christ here today. A strong appeal
for the better care of ministers was
made by Rev. Vernon Stauffer of An
gola, Indiana.
Calling them THE Forgotten La
borers," Rev. Vernon Stauffer told Of
the extreme want of certain aged
ministers who had spent their lives
working for a pittance in the ministry
of the churches of Christ, adding:
shall not the unscriptural, un-
christian notion that the support Of
the ministry is based on the instinct
of charity be bravely encountered
and struck down dead? Shall not
men who hold themselves eminently
worthy to be the censors of other
mems orthodoxy but who haggle over
the minister's salary be rebuked as
heretics OF the first order? Shall not
churches which sacrifice the health,
usefulness and prosperity of their
ministers by the multiplicity of their
demands and an unjust division of
labor which leaves the minister 10 be
prophet, business manager, household
visitor, pack-horse and drudge be told
that the blood OF the martyrs is on
their hands and that only the most
sincere repentance and the most Law
ish care of the servants of the Lord
who may hereafter serve them can
atone for their sin? How else snail
strong, capable young men be per-
suaded TO give themselves to the min
istry as a life work, their sensitive
natures feeling now the danger that
they may be pauperized in their old
age. or by some sudden blow of mis-
fortune?"
