THE SUPREME COURT.

Choice of President Will Involve
Far-Reaching Consequences.
(From Gov. Hughes Youngstown
specify
Not only will the coming election
directly affect the executive branch
Of the government, but 1t is most i'm
portant in its relation to the judicial
branch. Rarely has the choice OF Presi-
dent involved more farreaching con-
sequences, for 1t Is not improbable that
the next President will appoint ut least
four judges of the United States Su-
preme Court. Upon these appointments
will largely depend the quality Of the
judicial work Of this great court for
years to come. Congress may pass
laws, but the Supreme Court Jinterprets
and CONSTITUTES them and determines
their validity. The Constitution, with
its guarantees of liberty and its grants
Of Federal power, is finally what the
Supreme Court determines 1t to mean
Upon the learning, wisdom and char
acter Of the Judges of the Supreme
Court rests not merely the just de-
termination of the important matters
Of private right which come before
that august tribunal, but to a verys
large degree the course of our psliti->
cal history and the development and
security Of our institutions. In view Of
the vacancies which in the natural
course of events will most probably oc-
cur during the next few years we must
remember that we are about to choose
Il representative Of the people to whom
is coniided the nomination Of Federal
judges. power second to none pos
sessed by the President, the exercise
OF which calls for the highest judg-
ment. II we should search the coun-
try for a delegate Of the people who
could be confusntly intrustcd with this
importsnt duty 1t Is probable that no
one could command higher confidence
than the Republican candidate for

the judicial branch of the government

All Glasses Equally Intere.ted.

All classes OF the people and all sec
tions OF the country are equally inter
ested In establishing our system OF
banking and currency upon the sound
est possible basis. The welfare OF the
entire country depends upon sound
and practical system Of banking and
currency. and the only patriotic course
Is to eliminate all party feeling and
politics from the consideration OF this
great subject. We know that the pres
cnt system Is not perfect and should be
improved. but we know also that We
have prospered under this system and
that there Is no such pressing need for
a change as to warrant lIlsty or i'll
considered action. This plan Of guar
antccing bank deposits undoubtedly will
be considered with the utmost care by
the National Monetary Commission. and
II the plan can stand careful analysis
and scrutiny ii will be adopted by Con-
gress whether the government be con-
trolled by Republicans or Democrats.
I.ut 1t would he wrong-incxctIsably
wrong-to treat this great and difficult
question OF finance as n question Of
party politics. to be dealt with by p0pu-
lar vote In the heat OF n presidential
campaign. Surely the American people
will not make this far-rcaching change

dangerous experiment. upon the recon-

REPUBLICAN
PLAN RATIONAL.
Noted Financial Expert Advises
Against Inconsidered Action.
All Glasses Interested in Establish
ing Sound Banking System.

Victor Morawetz, recognized as an
expert upon financial and economic
questions, says the Bryan bank deposit
guarantee plan would encourage wild
cat" banking. These are excerpts from
a recent article written on the subject
by Mr.. MorawetZ:
II it were true that the adoption Of
this plan would make all deposits In
patlonal banks equally safe and there
by would inspire confidence in all ma
tiOnal bnnk deposits, as Mr.. Bryan
claims, the plan would prove a direct
encouragement to wildcat" banking
and would prove disastrous In the long
run. 1t would enable spectators or
inexperienced persons to form a bank
with small capital and to obtain large
deposits OH the strength of the guar
anty, by Offering higher rates OF inter-
est to depOsitors than a cOnscrvatively
managed bank could afford TO pay: and
they could then use these deposits in pro-
noting speculative or unSound ventures.
They would only risk the loss of the
small capital which they contrib
uted and their Individual liability for
an equal amount. If their speculatiOns
should succeed, they would reap large
profits. but If their spcculations should
fail and the money obtained from de-
positors be wasted. the sound banks
would have to bear the loss.

Republican Plan Rational.

The Republican party proposes to
deal with this banking question in a
rational. conservative manner. Having
regard to the difference between savings
deposits and those commercial deposit
liabilities which are merely bank cred-
its created us n means OF carrying on
the business OF the country, the Repub-
lican party proposes to establish n sys-
TEN of postal savings banks so that the
people everywhere throughout the
country can deposit their savings with
absolute safety. A proposal has also
been made, and. no doubt, will be con-
sidcred by Congress. OF authorizing the
national banks TO establish savings de
partments to be managed. under the su
pcrvisiOn Of the Comptroller Of the Cur
rency. according to the most approved
methods OF managing savings banks.
The Republican party recognizes that
the United States should have the
soundest and safest system OF banking
and currency that can be devised. and
to that end Republican Congress has
appointed n national commission. con-
sisting OF Senators and Representatives
of both the political parties. That com
mission Is now considering the subject
in all its bearings, and after holding
public hearings will make its recon-
mcndations to Congress 1t the earliest
opportunity.

AUTOMOBILES ON FARM.
They Are Coming to Fill q Place Of
Real Utility.

Automobiles have been a feature at
the state fairs this year, as an addi-
tion to the machinery exhibits. So
marked has been the display that
nearly all reporters for the agricul-
tural press have commented upon the
presence of the automobiles designed
for farm use in their resumes of the
fairs.
There seems a reason to believe
the automobile is coming to be live
proposition as a farmers conveyance
for general road work where extreme
weight-carrying power does not enter
into the problem, declares Prairie
Farmer Automobiles, for instance,
are seemingly being put to various
uses by farmers on the coast. After
discussing the usefulness of the motor
car, the Pacific Rural Press sums up
the probable expense as follows:
"The expense of upkeep in some
cars has been reduced until to-day
man can operate a car, spending less
for oil and gasoline than the cost of
feeding a horse. The car is a matter
OF expense only when In actual opera
tion, and while in operation its
road capacity is 'at least four
times that Of a horse-driven vehicle.
As for repairs, If the car is given
reasonable care and attention, they
should be little in excess of the cost
Of shoeing and repairs on harness, etc.
In point Of operating knowledge, even
where this is not simple enough, the
farmer has a great advantage, as he is
of necessity more of a mechanic than
the city man."
Few reasonable persons will look
forward to the time of seeing the au
tomobile drive the farm horse out of
business, but there is a strong posi-
bility that the motor car will ultimate
ly share a portion of the road work
OF the farm horse.

THE ROAD DRAG.
Advantages Which Are Gained from
lts Use.

The advantages to be gained from
the persistent use of road drag may
be summarized as follows:
1. The maintenance OF a smooth,
serviceable earth road Sree from ruts
and mudholes.
Q. Obtaining such a road surface
with the expenditure of very little
money ana labor in comparison with
the money and labor required for 9th.
er methods.
8. The reduction Of mud In wet
weather, and of dust In dry weather.
There are also several minor bene-
fits gained from the use OF road drag,
besides the great advantages which
always accrue from the formation OF
improved highways, OF which may be
mentioned the banishments OF weeds
and grass from the dragged portion OF
the road.

1908 is gone with its joys and sor-
rows. We stand on the threshold of
1909 with its hopes and prospects.
What the New Year holds in store
for us is largely dependent on our
selves. Why not make it the best of
our lives, prOhting by the mistakes
and failures of the past. Disappoint-
ments are bound to come to all of US
and should make us better, stronger
and truer men. Let US make each
dlsappoinrment, failure mistake and
sorrow a stone in the foundation of
the live we are building. If we will
do this prohting by them we will
build a character of which we may
we'll be proud. Sorrows, disappoint-
ments and failures are necessary for
the formation of a strong character.
Like steel we must be tested bV fire.
Can we stand the test ? If 90, each
year will be an improvement over the
past and 1909 will be the best of our
experience. Let us improve, not
retrograde.
