The Rock Island railway seems to
be going actively into politics again.
The ,Free-Press is in receipt of a
circular from their headquarters con
tanning opinions of President Yonkum
and an editorial from the New York
Times. The circular says the corpor-
atoms can spend more money when

Whether the circular is intended
solely for the eyes of railroad en-

surmise. Hazelton Free Press. !

In his acceptance speech Mr.. Taft
defined his position on number of
subjects not covered by. or in his
judgment not properly or fully stated
in the republican platform adopted at
Chicago this year. His speech is
considered by many in the nature of
an apology for the defects in his par
tvs platform.

The republican managers, who take
the position that Mr. Taft's personal
views about campaign contributions
and other subjects are not binding
upon the party, certainly have the
best of the contention. On the ques-
ton of campaign contributions, nine
tenths of the republican delegates to
the Chicago convention voted against
the views expressed by Mr.. Taft. The
republican convention was opposed to
any change in the law, which would
prevent its managers from saying to
every CRATER, walk up, walk up, and
drop your contribution into our cam
paign box, and receive ticket for
our Immunity BATH,
1t is creditable to Mr.. Taft that he
is openly. opposed to this nefarious
method OF raising campaign funds,
but Mr.. Taft is not bigger than the
convention that nominated him. Pres
ident Roosevelt did his best to Sc
cure the enactment of number of
much needed laws, but more than
nine-tenths Of his recommends were
disregarded and joked about by the
Joe Cannons of the republican party.

THEATRE NOTES.

In Central Opera house this week,
the Hickman-Bessey repertoire COM
pany is making its first appearance
in this city. Every member of the
organization is player Of more than
ordinary talent, in technical way.
Their ability in characterization, and
power to sustain the interest Of the
people is unusual. Their opening bill
Monday night was greeted with en-
thusiasm, and tonight they play "Out
of the Fold, or school Days" which
ran one week at Davenport. Every
play is entirely new and previous en-
gagements have been successful in
the various towns and cities of the
state.
The vaudeville features are fascf-
mating and clever, while the song hits
are good. For Wednesday evening.
the company will offer Buried Alive
Q hypnotic production, wherein the
powers of that subtitle and incom-
prehensible mystery are used in the
drama. On Thursday night, LENA
Rivers" is advertised; Friday even
ing, 1.-The Girl of the Golden West, "
and on Saturday night, "a High Ton
ed Burglar"
The Hickman.Bessey company is
composed of thirteen people Of dis
tinct attachments. Their work on
Monday evening was finished and pol
ished, as are few stock companies
travelling In the middle west. Their
lines were splendidly interpreted, and
much force and brilliancy displayed
in each role.
Eldon's comedians are entertainin
ing the theatre goers at City Opera
house this week, and will present
.The Minister'S Sweetheart" tonight
pixies Peak" Wednesday, 1.-The Belle
Of Japan" Thursday, THE Girl and
the Boss" Friday, and "My Mother
fn-law" for Saturday evening.
Their first production on Monday
evening was well received, and the
vaudeville specialties were especially
good. A young boy, son Of mem
Der of the company, delivers solo
between the first and second acts
and possesses voice Of unusual
quality and pureness. A barytone is
also heard. during each performance,
who controls voice which evidences
careful training. His solo adds ma
.terially to the entertainment Of the
evening.

WHY THE TRUSTS OPPOSE THE
INSURANCE OF BANK
DEPOSITS.

The great aggregations of capital,
commonly called trusts, have many
reasons for opposing the insurance
of bank deposits, but one of their
principal reasons is the fact that
such law would help the small
manufacturer or dealer, by relieving
him Of the ordinary risks connected
with the banking business as now
conducted. =
The trust is big enough to own
its own bank, or string of banks, and
so far as its banking is concerned
runs no business risk. The advan-
tage which it has over its small com
petitor in that respect would be
wiped out by a law which would guar.
antee all bank deposits.
The insurance of bank deposits
would help to add to small business
ventures similar stability and Ger
tainty to that possessed by the big
combines, and from the standpoint
of the big combine that of course
would not be desirable or beneficial
to the trusts.

SEARCHING FOR AN HEIR.
Fortune of s60,0OO,OO0 is Awaiting
 Some Que.

Geneva, April 4.--An English solici- tor is stated to have visited the vil- lage of Kailnach, in the canton of Berne. in search of an heir to for tune of S60,o00.000.
 This vast sum Is said According to the Lausanne correspondent of Sat- urday's Globe) to be awaiting a claim ant in the vaults of the Bank Of Eng land. .-
 In 1915, it appears, there dled in In dia A man named Koemli. who was born in Kallnach. and who acquired a great fortune as a privateer under the Dutch government. On his death his fortune amounted to S12.O0O.0oO. but, thanks to steadily mounting interest. it is now five times that amount.
 Traces have been found in the vil- lage archives of several persons ap- parently related to the deceased cor sair. and 1t even seeus that twenty five years after his death a lady named Walti refused. on the ground of relig- ious scruples. to take possession or treasure wrongly acquired.
 So far, however. nothing has been heard of any living heir. Should one be found. and should he or she not share the scruples of the good lady al- ready mentioned. the State will reap something like $15.Oo0.Oo0 in inherit ance taxes.
