railroad rates four years ago. The

BANK FAILURES OF DIFFERENT
KINDS.

About six weeks ago two big bank
failures occurred IN the United States.
One failure was the First National, at
Mineral Point, Wisconsin, and the
other was the Columbia Bank & Trust
Go. of Oklahoma City.
The disastrous results OF the failure
Of the First National Bank were far
reaching. Women tainted IN the
streets and etrong men shed tears OF
disappointment Nearly all business
interests in the city were injured.
The cashier killed himself. his mother
upon hearing the news died of heart
failure, an old woman and man went
insane brooding over the loss of their
life savings. Ali is disorder and
chaos at Mineral Point, Wis.,, since
the bank failure there.
Now look at the other picture. may
it please the court. 1hs Columbia
Bank and Trust Company failed with
nearly 81. 900, 900 Of liabilities.
Depositors filed in next day in an
orderly way and were given their
money. There is no excitement
among depositors, no worry, no
weeping no walling in the streets,
before the bank; no persons going
insane over losses, no suicides. no
deaths, no runs on other banks and no
business failures following In the wake
of this bank failure.
The bank didn't close. even. The
failure was just q big payday tor
depositors. The little bank of Coal
gate was successfully llquldated in the
same way, q little over year ago. but
that was hardly q fair test OF the
law as that bank had only $36, 900 in
deposits at the time it was closed by
the bank commissioner. ''-B q 4

The following from the Princeton
Union gives H. G. Dunn's estimate Of
Governor Eberhart, who is q candidate
for the nomination:
"Governor Eberhart served four
years as state senator Immediately
preceding his election to the Office Of
lieutenant governor. Will he or any
of his fulsome datterers point to a
single piece OF important legislation,
enacted during those four years. with
which his name Is linked? He had a
splendid opportunity while serving as
state senator to show his mettle It
is in vain that we scan the pages of
the senate journals for 1908 and 1905
to find any trace of single measure
introduced or championed by Senator
Eberhart that would lead any one to
believe that he favored any Of the
reforms he now so glibly advocates. "

There has been considerable criticism
of the switchmen out on strike because
1T is claimed they refused to arbitrate.
The criticism, however, mas not been
based on knowledge. The switchmen
did refuse to arbitrate under the
Erdman Act, on the ground, which
investigation shows to be warranted,
that there was prospect Of long delay.
the railroads being given the power of
appeal, and that the vital principle OF
the act, preventing union man
from being blacklisted, had been
emasculated by the courts. The
Erdman act as now interpreted IS not
the Erdman act as originally passed.
The switchmen, however, did offer to
arbitrate, they to select one arbitrator,
the railroads one and these two to
select the third. Decision was to be
final and made within thirty days
It seems to as that this was fair
proposition. The switchmen's work
is dangerous and hazardous. There is
no relieving feature about 1t. No
matter what the weather may be,
no matter how stormy, the switchmen
must be at his post, with steady
hand ana brain. The approach OF
summer, which lessons the rigors of
some occupations, brings to the
swltchman heat and dust and smoke
all day long in dirty railroad yards.
There IL nothing cool or refreshing
or green about a railroad yard at any
time and much less 50 in summer.
The hazards are many and constant,
and the switchman pays the tribute
of life and limb to the MOlOch of
