ing to Candidate Taft:
Your notification of yesterday
was a great event, but next door to
the Taft home, on Pike street, where
you were notified, is the Pugh build
ing where 5, 900 people were formerly
engaged in industry, but where only
1900 Of them are now employed, the
rest being laid oft. Next to this
building is the VIM. S. Merrill COM
pany, which is now in the hands of a
receiver. and on the other side is the
American Book company which is at
present working only one-tifth of its
normal force. Just opposite your
home at $40 Pike street, the entire
building is for rent; the factories a
block away are running on short time,
and the Russell Morgan plant, one OF
the largest IN Cincinnati, is practically
closed down. In the rear Of the Taft
home is one of the worst poverty
stricken districts in the world-the
bl )ck bounded by Butler, Culvert, Third
and Fifth streets being a veritable
breeding place for tuberculosis and
crime. Three hundred homeless men
sleep every night on the stone blocks
ia Fountain Square and the parks
are filled with hungry men, made so
for lack of employment under this
republican administration of so-called
prosperity. One Cincinnati daily
paper estimates that there are 25, 900
able bodied men seeking work in the
city, who cannot find it, although the
factories are yet here.

Old SCI Tier RETURNS.
Former Motley Man Visits
Place After an Absence
Of 20 Years

Staples World: George G. Priestley
and his sister, Mrs N. Schaftner, Of
Oklahoma, were in the city Monday
evening, IN company with Mr.. and
Mrs H. A. Francisco, Of Motley.
They are spending the summer at the
lake at Glenwood and came over to
Motley to visit relatives whom they
had not seen for a number of years
Mr.. sPriestley had been to Motley %
years ago, but since that time most of
the relatives had moved away, and
his aunt called to her eternal reward.
Mr.. Priestley's grandfather was one of
the earliest settlers in Motley, coming
there before the railroad as surveyor.
For number of years after the adj
vent of the railroad he was in charge
of the pumping station at that place.
He had great faith in the town, and
bought considerable property And he
had grounds for his faith. In those
days Motley was the shipping point
for much OF the grain raised around
Melrose and Sank Centre, ard inter
mediate points, as we'll as for bIueber-
rles gathered by the Indians as far
north as the present site of Bemidii
and other distant points. The berries
came by boats and wagons and the
fruit would be shipped daily. In fact
the Motley Of those days was the best
shipping point between Duluth and
Fargo, Brainerd being close rival on
berries, but having no small grains to
ship. Present indications are that
Motley will soon win back some of it's
Old-time prominence as shipping
point, but in a new and more perma-
nent form. Butter will take the place
of the blueberries and small grains,
grass, hay and many OF the products
of the farm that are raised right at
home will take the place of the grain
that had to be hauled long distances.
Mr.. Priestley was in Little Falls last
vania, but is now in the oil business
banks. He said that while many Of
the older bankers do not like the de-
posit guaranty law, the great mass Of
the people certainly do. There has
been one bank failure since the law
went into effect. The bank failed on
Friday, the state took charge next
day, and on Monday morning every
depositor received his money The
banks assets were sufficient and no as
sessment on other banks was needed.
Every state bank and trust company
III Oklahoma has a sign Deposits
guaranteed by the state''. Mr.. Priest
ley said the law made banks more
careful III their dealings, and had
raised the general banking standard.
The examinations by the bank exam
liners are also much more strict and
more detailed than ever

REDMEN CONVENTION AT
WINONA A DECIDED SUCCESS n

The Red Men convention at Winona
came to a close Wednesday, terminal
ing one Of the most successful sessions
OF the order. All of, the delegates
from the local lodge have returned and
speak very highly Of the session just
closed, which will be productive of
great good to the order in general
The Winona Red Men and Pocahontas,
as we'll as the citizens in general, did
much to make the visit there a pleas
ant one.
At this session an amendment was
adopted barring saloonkeepers from be-
coming members of the order hereaf-
ter, but this does not exclude those
