DEPOSIT GUARANTY A FAIL
URE.

Mr.. Taft landed a death blow upon
Mr.. Bryan's pet scheme for the guar
anty of bank deposits when he pointed
out that the plan had been tried and
found wanting in New York from 1929
to 1912.
The conservative financial thought
of the country has held from the first
that the Bryan idea is an infallible in
vitation to reckless banking through
its removal of the proper rewards for
safe and sane methods. To this asser.
ton the democratic nominee has never
given . direct answer. Yesterday, in
his Topeka speech, he again failed to
meet the issue by contenting himself
with the statement that Sall-restrictions
on banking are a tax on the honest
banker"
In New York in 1929 the state
guaranty of deposits simply started an
era of Wild banking speculation, the
moral level of which was established
not by the best bankers but by the
worst This is exactly what the OPP
ponents of the Nebraskan have pre-
dicted in the present case, and they

of 1907 was 81 ,337 100000. The
aggregate value of the country's farm
products. which was 81 900, OOO, 900 in
the year of Lincoln's first election,
will reach fully sS,OOO,OOO,OOO in this
Taft campaign year. More persons
are engaged in farming than in any
other occupation. AS compared with
a third or a half of a century ago,
there are fewer mortgages on Ameri-
can farms, and the farmer has more
money in the savings bank and in
railway bonds, he wears better clothes,
eats better food, gives his sons and
daughters better education, is housed
better, has more books and newspapers
in his home, has luxu,ies which were
formerly beyond the reach of the
agriculturists of the country, and has
mastery in fields which, in the old
days, he never dreamed of entering.
For this transformation in the Ameri-
can farmers condition he is largely
indebted to the wise legislation of the
republican party.-Charles NJ. Harvey
in Leslie's Weekly.
The Columbus journal., 1908-09-09

In 1862, Geo. w. Julian took his
seat in congress. He represented an
Indiana district. At the same session
Andrew johnson of Tennessee drew q
seat near the Indianian. Both had
prepared homestead bills for introduce
ton. After conference, some chan.
ges, at the suggestion of Julian, were
made in the bill drawn up by johnson,
and the measure was introduced and
passed the house and senate and was
signed by Abraham Lincoln. A few
years later Jim Latta came to Ne
braska and filed on quarter section
under the provisions of the Johnson
Julian law. That quarter section of
land, secured through an act passed by
a Republican congress and signed by
Republican President, was the foun-
dation of Latta's fortune-a nest egg
which has grown to two millions of
dollars. Latta has already secured
the nomination for congress by the use
of a liberal expenditure of money, so
it is claimed on good Democratic
authority, and the presumption is that
he, through his chairman. will not be
backward about purchasing enough
votes to land him in the seat now held
by Judge Boyd.

PROSPERITY OF THE FARMERS

PROSPERITY OF THE FARMERS.
The republican party, ever since it
attained power nearly half century
ago, has been working in the interest
of the farmers, as we'll as of all the rest
of the workers. The farms and farm

ed to 81, $3.50, 900, 900 in 1860. the year
Immediately preceding the republi-
cans entrance into Office, reached
SIS, OOO, 100000 in 1907. The value
of the farm animals Of the country.
which was $1,000, 100000 in the for
mer year, was s4,424,OOO,OOO in the
latter. The cotton production of 1860,
which at the time was considered won
derfally large, was 1851, 900 bales,
but it was 100000 bales in 1907.
And the prices which the planter
obtains for his cotton now are much
greater than they were then. In most
# those items the growth has been far
greater than it has been in population.
Half q century ago. when Aam-
nond, Toombs, Clingman and other
outhern statesmen were proclaiming
hat cotton was king, the average
annual value of the crop was about
100000. In 1907 it amounted
o S675, 100000. When, in 1860, the

THE CHECK BOOK WON.

The check book won out in the
Democratic primaries in the Third
congressional district. J. p. Latta
received the nomination over Editor
Edgar Howard, who put up . good
fight and made q splendid showing
against the Tekamah banker. But
the result of the fight is not creditable
to the party. 1t was . fight Of dollars
against the man, and the dollars won.
The contest has left a bitterness
which will cripple the Democrats in
the fight. Charges have been made
by both factions and q hostile feeling
engendered which caunot be kept
down. Some of Mr.. Howard's friends
think he has not been treated fairly
that he was entitled to something after
battling for years for the success Of his
party; that money was used to defeat
him and to nominate q man who has
never aided the party only when he
had selfish object in view.
The friends of Latta are over conf.
dent, and assume that their candidate
can be elected without Towards sup
port. Success appears to have sat.
urated their mind with the idea that .
lavish use Of money can overcome all
opposition and line up the Democrats
throughout the district for Check

In half a century the Democratic
party elected only one President, and
he was afterwards alluded to as .
"bunco steerer" by the man who heads
the National Democratic ticket today,
and practically disowned and repudi-
ated by his party for the patriotic
stand he took in opposing the free
coinage of silver. If, as the Bryanites
claim, the late Mr.. Cleveland was not
a Democrat, then the Republicans
have had an unbroken sway in the
White House since the 4th day of
March, 1861. No one in the Repub.
lican party ever doubted the Democ-
racy of Grover Cleveland. He was
not a Populist Democrat, Socialist
Democrat, but Safe and Sane Dem
ocrat who retained the respect and
confidence of the better element of his
party up to the hour of his death.
Had he lived, his vote would have
been cast for Taft and Sherman. His
letter, wrote a short time before his
death, and recently given publicity,
proves that Grover Cleveland was a
patriot who placed patriotism above
politics ard duty above political sub
serviency.

Bryan has made that position so clear
that any man may understand it.

The other day Mr.. Bryan contrib
uted $1,000 to his own campaign fund,
and the next day due publicity was
given to the act; but the name of that
mysterious Swede farmer who, so the

and handed Mr.. Bryan a wad contain
ing one hundred dollars has not vet
been given publicity.
The Columbus journal., 1908-09-09

The public has heard much in the
past from the lips of Mr.. Bryan about
the Republican party placing "the
dollar above the man." Recently,
however, the Democratic candidate
has not made 'the dollar above the
man" the paramount note in his chin
music. His wall has been for dollars
to assist in electiug himself President,
and it doesn't make any particular
difference who contributes the coin.
A dirty dollar to Bryan is just the
same as a clean dollar. The money
raised by Roger Sullivan, Hinky Dink,
Niger Mike, Boss Murphy, "Fingie"
Connors, Tom Taggart or Jim Dahl
man is just as acceptable and its pur-
chasing power as great as the dollar
contributed by Nebraska farmer.

The theory that prohibition would
be enforceable in the south because of
overwhelming preponderance Of public
sentiment in favor of it is not borne
out by recent advice from Georgia.
The Georgia story as now related is
the same old story told in Iowa back
in the sos. State wide prohibition
does not prohibit. 1t is effective only
in the districts which were dry under
local option. The larger towns either
ignore the law or tolerate flimsy eva

ton to enforce the law. the saloon has
been replaced by Temperance saloons"
ostensibly purveying only soft drinks.
Among the soft drinks on the menu is
a "near beer" which looks like the
beer of commerce and tastes like it,
but which is said to have so small a
percentage of alcohol as to permit sale
without . government license. The
'snear beer" resorts seem to be doing
about ~ much business as the former
saloons, and there is more than sus-
picion that considerable real beer is
circulated side by side with the alleg-
ed imitation.
While the sale of intOxicants is
going on under cover in some locali-
ties, the mail order sales from outside
the state are booming. The express

insist that all jugs be Grated, so they
may be stacked in the car to economize

become q feature in many families,
where it was previously unknown.
The sale of liquors in social clubs is
permitted by law, and their popularity
as an institution is said to be growing
by leaps and bounds.
Whether the Georgia prohibitionists
will stand by their guns, making a
long and determined fight to secure
strict enforcement remains to be seen.

Long before he invented the tele-

To get rid of him the president of

the beauty of the invention and be-

up half the night discussing it with
