Down to an Economical
Administration.
The federal administration last year
spent $54,000,000 more than it spent
in the 1898 war. At the recent bank
er's convention Lawrence S. G llespie,
president of the Equitable Trust Com
pany Of New York, discussing the adj
ministration, said:
'As in our private life so in our ma
tional finances, the year 1907 seems to
have been one of exceeding cost and
expenditure. The government state
ent at the end of the fiscal year, June
80, 1908, shows a deficit of $59,656,361
and the increased deficit in July and
August amounting 10 $2S, 72S,OO0 brings
the total deficit for the preceding four
teen months up to $SS, 434 361, with re-

A CONVINCING CERTIFICATE
That Every Voter Should Read Who
Relieves That Bank Deposits Should

That Every Voter Should Read VINO
Relieves That Bank Deposits Should
Be Guaranteed Against Loss.
The Democratic platform favors Sc
cured bank deposits. The Republican
platform is silent on the subject and
its leaders, Mr.. Taft notably, op-
pose it.
Tie following certificate published
in The Commoner is distinctly inter-
esting at the present time:
Guthrie, Okla, June ~, 19OS.-The
Dec. II, 1907, and was made operative
Feb. IA, 1908.
Bank reports show that the effect
of the law began weeks BEFORE the law
was in actual operation.
There are now SOL banks under the
law in this state, including 81 national
banks. There are 255 unsecured banks
(all nationals) in the state.
1.-The dates Of statement calls were
as follows:
"For national banks, Dec. 3, 1907;
Feb. 4, 1908, and May IA, 1908.
For state banks Dec. II 1907; Feb.
20, 1908, and May IA, 1908.
From Dec. 3, 1907, to Feb. IA,
1908, the deposits in the unsecured
banks decreased about an even half
million. The secured national banks
for the same period gained in deposits
about $4,000. State banks (all Sc
cured for the period from Dec. IL,
1907, to Feb. IA, 1905 show an increase
in deposits of SIG, I49.47.
''For the period ending May IA, Sc
cured national banks show an increase
in deposits of $645, 413.61.
estate banks (all secured) for the
period ending May IA, show an in
crease in deposits of $2,355, GO2.14.
For the period ending May IA the
unsecured banks (all nationals) lost in
deposits $6O0,S07.S6.
deposits of state funds show a de-
crease in both classes Of banks as fol-
lows:

"My husband had been great s,if-

years. At first it was in his bones, but
after while it was in the flesh and
finally running sores broke out on his
legs, from below the knees to the ankles.
There are no words to tell all the dis
comfort and great suffering he had to
endure night and day. He used every
kind Of remedy and three physicians
treated him, one after the other, with
out any good results whatever. So
one day l happened to read about
Cuticura Remedies. I asked him
he would not try them. No., said he,
it's no use, I've spent enough money
now.' The next day l ordered fvo
dollars worth of Cuticura Soap, Cuti-
cura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent.
He began to use them without conf
dence but after three weeks all tho
sores were dried up. The burning
fire stopped, and the pains became
bearable. After three months he was
cutie we'll. Two years later the pains
and sores came back after he had been
working hard and had taken cold.
But as soon as he used Cuticura again
it cured him. Two years ago used
Cuticura Pills for general debility. They

me well. Three months since had pains

The Retort Final.

The garrulous old lady in the stern
of the boat had pestered the guide
with her comments and questions ever
since they had started. Her meek lit
tie husband, who was hunched toad
like in the bow, fished in silence. The
old lady had seemingly exhausted ev-
cry possible point in fish and animal
life, woodcraft, and personal history
when she suddenly espied one of those
curious paths of oily, unbroken water
frequently seen on small lakes which
are ruffled by light breeze.
"Oh, guide. guide" she exclaimed,
what makes that funny streak in the
water No, there Right over
there!"
The guide was busy rebaiting the
old gentleman's hook and merely
mumbled "U-m-mm"
Guide repeated the old lady in
tones) that were not to be denied,
"look right over there where I'm point
ing and tell me what makes that fun
ny streak in the water"
The guide looked up from his bait
ing with a sigh.

went across the ice last winter."-Ev-

Yesterday was the banner day for
receiving new members to the Com
mercial club, 40 applications having
been signed out by young men Of the
city. Since the campaign was started
November l for new members and
committee appointed to secure them,
there have ben 102 mans entered,
bringing the total membership up to
the 425 mark.
AS all new members are being ad-
mitted without an initiatory fee until
January 1, it is probable that many
more will be taken into the club before
the holiday season has passed. After
the first Of the year an initiation fee
Of $500 will be charged in addition to
the regular monthly dues. 1t is plan
ned to bring the membership roll to

(By the Dramatic Critic.)

(By the DfdHldllC OTltiC)
Strong in its situations, powerful
in it's lines and intense from opening to
close, ''The Great Divide" last night
proved to be one of the best plays of
the year. 1t did not take with the au-
dience, for some unknown reason;
probably because it held their atren-
ton despite themselves and was not
light and breezy. But it is a great
show.
First of all it is different" William
Vaughan Moody grasped really new
idea when he wrote it and he has writ
ten one of the, most peculior, yet pow
erful. play that has been seen here
this year. 1t brings out something
new, and it develops in an entirely
new way. Because it started in a
strange way, and for that matter was
strange all through, many did not like
it; but it could have hardly been bet
ter.
AS stephen Ghent' Edwin Mordant
was superb. He had very, very diff
cult part to play, but clear through
he was true to life, and typical. His
work was great. So was that of Mabel
BrowneH, as Ruth Jordan" At first
she was somewhat stiff, not that ex-
actly, either, but it was not until the
audience grew accustomed to her that
she was really appreciated. Polly Jor-
dan" was well taken by pretty Della
knight, who made a hit in the part. AS
phillip Jordan" Frederick Forester
did we'll. For the rest Of the company,
the less said the better; but they had
little to do and did not spoil the play.

little johnny Jones'"

When Little Johnny Jones" is seen
at the Keylor Grand theater, Tuesday
night, December 49, the theatergoers of
this city will have an opportunity Of
witnessing what last season proved the
biggest musical hit of the entire year.
Last season was notable one in the
theatrical world for the production of
new musical plays, at least forty pre-
tentious productions having been made
by producing managers during the sea-
son. None Of them, however, reached
such a phenomenal degree of success
as Little Johnny JONES'" which
proudly boasts of a record of almost
an entire season in New York city,
several weeks in Boston, four weeks
in Philadelphia, and over three months
in Chicago. 1t was not witnessed out
side of the very largest cities, but by
the strenuous efforts on the part of
our local manager, he has succeeded
in securing this attraction for a pres
entation in this city. Little Johnny
Jones" is claimed to be the most orig
inal musical play that has been pre-
scented for many seasons, inasmuch as
it has a plot and a dramatic story
which at times is almost sensational.

Charles B. Hanford has been called
the Shakespearean monopolist. 1t is a
fact that he has afforded thousands
the only opportunity they will enjoy
this season of seeing the Shakespearan
drama performed. But Mr.. Hanford's
unique eminence has not been won
by crushing out competition. The law
of the survival of the fittest would
seem to apply to art as well as to
other things, for Mr.. Hanford's pres
tige in the classics has been due solely
to the fact that the public has wanted
him in Shakespeare and has preferred
