Then and Now.

Republican Leaders are fiercely
fighting against a bank deposit guar
antee law. And yet last February
Congressman Charles N. Fowler, OF
New Jersey, chairman OF the Com
mittee on banking and currency, de.
clsred In a speech supporting the
Fowler bill
Lille insurance Is nothing but CO.
operation, to which each one contri'
butes something. In LIE insurance a
man must die to win. II he lives out
his allotted time, he pays In full Tor
isinsursnce. II a man dies who has
insured his life, his family only are
affected, and, materially speaking,
are provided for to the extent OF the
insurance.
Mr.. Chairman, n there is one res'
son why this man should insure his
life and that man his home, assert
that there are a thousand reasons
why the bank deposits OF this coun'
try should be guaranteed,
assert again, after the most ma
ture celebration, that II there is one
reason for insuring life or home, there
are more than a thousand good rea'
sons, nay, more than 10000 good
reasons, why the depositors OF the
banking institutions OF the United
States should be insured.
II, as | have demonstrated, In case
the proposed bill should become a
law, we should have approximately
seven hundred million In the United
States treasury guaranteeing the de-
posts In the National banks, panics
in this country would forever be at
an end. They would be thing OF a
bitter past. May God hasten that
day.

Man Responsible For Springfield
Riots Will Hang.

Springfield, Ill, Sept.-Joe James,
murderer'oi Clergy Ballard, and the
man whose crime was directly re-
sponsible for the Springfield riots
and lynchings, was sentenced to be
hanged In the county jail on Friday,
October %, between the hours OF 10
a. m. and 2 p. m. The defendant
wept copiously while sentence was
pronounced.
Royal and Williams, negro attor.
neys for the defendant, were ques.
toned by Judge Creighton as to
whether they had any motion to
make and declared that they desired
no further action In the case. Sen.
tepce was pronounced at the lunch
con hour, when only the newspaper
men and officers were present, this
hour being selected for fear OF dem.
onstration. Despite the statement
OF deiendant's attorneys, there is a
general feeling that an appeal will be
taken.

Harmony.

Columbia Mo Herald: The state
meeting of the Democratic party at
Jefferson City Tuesday was one OF
great interest and one OF splendid
feeling throughout. There was not
one single jar or one discordsnt note

march to victory. There Is but prec-
ious little discord in local districts,
and these will be all healed long be-
fore November. Bryan for the peo-
pie, Cowherd for Missouri in all her
greatness, are the ensigns who will
bear she banner OF Democracy In
front ranks, and one will carry the
victorious emblem. to the White

SEINE Questions Answered.

The most common director says the
Farmers Union will not stick. Farm.
ers are the greatest organizers and
stickers in the world and they will
stick when there is something to stick
for Show the farmers benefits In the
way of profitable prices for their
crops and no power on earth can draw
them apart.
The farmers have got enough sense
TO appreciate a profitable business
and they will stick TO the thing that
makes them money and elevates their
calling.
But still another says farmers are
TOO numerous to cooperate. This is a
great fallacy. If great numbers was
an element of weakness, then indeed
our cause would be hopeless. Would
you think a nation weak because 1t had
millions of able.bodied men? No;
but you would say, Organize them
INFO armies and equip them with up
to-date arms and they will be irwin
chile before any invasion" So with
the farmers. The greater the union,
the greater the strength, provided you
have up-toIate methods and plans
| TO cooperate on.
A union without plan and a pro-
| gram is no union at all. Unity OF
prices and controlled marketing is the
up.to-date gun and even farmers can
use 1t.
And now another objector comes
along andosays, Suppose the farmer
should produce a surplus?" Are farm
ars expected to be foolish enough Il
throw in their surplus for good meas
ure? Surely not. Controlled market
ing wills take care of the surplus
any exists, and if farmers are cooper
ating they can easily hold the surplus
of good seasons over to the shor
years, thus equalizing supply an
prices and benefitting both producer
and consumers.

Next to Miss Goldman the most active
woman fomenter of anarchy in this coun-

She is a woman of considerably more

the woman red is q frightful menace to
the lives OF every member OF the royal

plicity and sturdiness of character not to
be found elsewhere SO near the great
metropolis. The heroine. girl of indi-
vidual charm and beauty, has lived her
life among these people. but she finds her
fate among a summer colony of artists
who have discovered the rare beauty of
the place. The story is an interesting one
and many of the characters live in the
memory. Chief among these are the two
stanch old friends, Capt. Billy and Capt.
Davy, who, between them, tended to the
light and saved the lives of those ship
wrecked upon the coast. Janet is an in
teresting figure, and the devotion between
her and Capt. Daddy is instinct with
beauty and pathos.
