Bryan on Bank Guaranty.

Before an audience which filled
the Auditorium at Topeka, Kan, to
overfowing, William ]. Bryan spoke
on the subject of guaranty of bank de-
posits. Previously he had delivered
three other addresses, two from the
veranda of his hotel and the third at
Garfield Park, where he attended a
picnic by the knights of Pythias.
Mr. Bryan in view of the action of
the Kansas Republican state council
which endorsed the guaranty of bank
deposits, made some remarks supple
mentary to his prepared speech on
that subject. He asked why the de-
posits should be left unsecured when
the national government demanded Sc.
curity of any bank with which 1t de.
posted money.
He pointed out that the choice was
between the postal savings bank and
the guaranty plan and accused Mr..
Taft of favoring an unnecessary extern
sion of the sphere of government in
advocating the postal savings bank
instead of the bank guaranty. Mr..
Bryan declared that he preferred the
guaranty bank proposition, which
would allow the banks to attend to
the banking business and yet compel
them to give their depositors neces-
sary security.
Upon the conclusion of his prepared
speech, Mr.. Bryan said:
81 asked Mr.. Breidenthal, a banker
of Kansas City to make inquiry among
the bankers of Kansas and ascertain
what proportion of them favored the
guaranty law. learned that of the
bankers that had expressed themselves
on this subject about three-fourths Of
them favored guaranty law and one
fourth opposed it. Among the deposit
tors there Is no opposition at ALL
81 also inquired of Governor Has
kell Of Oklahoma in regard to the
number of national banks that have
surrendered their charters and be-
come state banks in order to have
the benefits of the guaranty system.
l have telegram from him saying
that four national banks have already
made the change and are operating
under the state bank laws, and that
sixteen other national banks have ap-
piled for state charters. This is con-
elusive proof that the Oklahoma law
is a success"

New British Patent Act.

The year Of grace granted to for
eigners under the new British pat
ent act has expired, and hencefortt
foreign patents in this country may be
revoked by Great Britain after a rea
sonable interval, unless the patented
article is manufactured or the patent
process is operated in the United King
dom to an adequate extent.
A great number of foreign firms al
ready have taken sites and started
works in Great Britain; many Others
are making arrangements to do so
These are mainly German and Ameri
can firms.
Sir Alfred Jones, head of a promin.
ent firm of ship owners, estimates that
S125, 100000 will thus be invested here
for the manufacture of articles former
ly manufactured abroad, and prom
inent expert in patent law thinks that
no fewer than 5000 patents granted
to foreigners will come under the new
law.

Paying For Springfield Riots.

Springfield officials will try to shift
upon the state of Illinois liability for
the damage incurred in the recent riot
The states responsibility will be as
serted upon the ground that when
troops were called for they were sent
to the scene of the rioting without am.
munition and were restrained, under
orders, from charging the mob with
their bayonets.
AS all the depredations were com.
mitted after the state militia had TAX.
en- charge of the situation, it is con.
tended that the municipality was not
responsible.
States Attorney Hatch expects an.
other batch of indictments against the
rioters. The inquisitorial body was
busy with the case Of Frank Bryant,
alias Sullivan, who confessed to the
killing of Thomas Bray.
