Bank Guaranty.

One of the arguments heard against
the bank guaranty law is, that the pe0
pie, having their deposits secured
would be Indifferent as to the charac
ter of the bank they deposited with
as their deposits would be secure ir
any bank, and this would induce TN
scrupulous men to engage in banking
and tend to discourage careful meth
DDS in banking.
An offset for this argument is found
in the banks of today. The careful
reliable bankers create the confidence
manifested in banks generally. Thi;
confidence begotten of good banking
is taken advantage Of by scoundrels
who open banks and operate them I'm
I'll they have obtained good line OF
deposits, then loot them. Example
OF this kind of banking have been sup
piled by Chicago in the last two OF
three years. The founding and opera
ton OF these banks was enabled BY
the confidence in banks generally Gre
ated by the many good, strong, vel
managed Chicago banks.
Another argument is. that the care
fully managed banks sci ION fail, tina
the banks loosely or dishonesty man
aged fail, and that the good banks
under the proposed law, are taxed tc
pay the depositors of the poorly o!
dishonesty conducted institution.
An offset for this is found in fir
insurance methods Those honest PEG
pie Who desire to save themselves
IRON total loss in case Of fire have e
pay the losses OF dishonest insurers
and these losses probably amount t,
bali the total losses. Yet the capital
lists and business men who object tr
the bank guaranty law for the las,
reasons given in the foregoing, carry
the insurance burden with hardly :
Kick, and make no effort to relieve
themselves OF it.

IMPROVE THE OHIO.

The people of the Ohio Valley are
holding an Improvement convention
in Cincinnati.
Louisville. Cincinnati, Evansville
Henderson, Pittsburg and all the other
cities along the river are sending
large delegations
The general demand is for a nine
foot channel from Pittsburg to Cairo.
II is hoped to accomplish that, first.
by deepening the channel in certain
points, ans then by system Of locks
and dams.
The banks of the Ohio river are
stable The Oaio river cuts through
the limestone, following the same
route that 1t marked out. when the
glacial period ended, and the water
began to seek its level fesa .
The scheme of permanent improve
ment is therefore entirely possible and
reasonably cheap. The people of the
Ohio valley should not abandon the
plan, but impress upon the national
government the paramount necessity
Of river navigation the year round
all the way from Pittsburg to Cairo
From Cairo south, of course, the
deep water is the main concern Of
the people along the banks OF the Mis-.
sissippi,
1t is matter of engineering to
have a year-round channel from New
Orleans to st. Louis.
Fourteen feet through the valley is
no vague dream, but a possibility,
which can be turned into a real thing
BY concerted effort.
The Improvement Of the Ohio river
and the Improvement of the Mississp-
pi river will make it possible to carry
an enormous amount of tonnage which
the development of this country will
create.
me OHIO Valley Improvement Asso-
citation should send a delegate to New
Orleans and work in harmony with
those delegations determined upori5 the
deepening Of the Mississippi chann ei.
The people of Memphis should also
see to it that a large delegation goes
TO New Orleans, and supreme effort
SHOULD be made at that convention to
impress the governors and the sena
tors and the president and the cabi-
net, who will be there, that the peo-
pie want this Improvement snot be-
cause Of the money the national gov.
eminent will spend. but because ii will
be a tremendous benefit to the com.
merce of this Commercial
Appeal.

PELLAGRA CAUSED
 BY ROTTEN CORN

Chattanooga July 12-(special) )--Dr. Walter Lenahan is probably the only doctor in Chattanooga who has had any experience with the malady known as pellagra, a case of which has developed in this city, and which Is now raging in the Baptist orphanage in Nashville. Dr. Lenahan says pelagra has been prev alent in Italy and other southern Europe countries for more than 200 years. It is caused mainly from rotten corn, and hence cases of 1t come most frequently from eating of bread made of diseased corn. In Italy it is known as the poor mans disease, and is found entirely among the peasant classes The disease comes from the eating of corn or corn bread or actual contact. It makes it's first appearance as a trouble in the stom- ach Its first external appearance is us- ually on the back of the hands in the form of rash, usually copper or red in oolor. It next appears on the feet or lower limbs, and then spreads to the forehead. In its final and fatal state it attacks the nervous system, and it is here that its effects are terrible. It's action begins with the spinal chord and extends to other parts of the system gradually It is the common saying that patient, who have pellagra forget how to laugh. The patient gradually gives up. Weakness and debility set in and the suf- ferer loses flesh rapidly. The eyes lose their luster, the shoulders become stopped and the entire body loses its life and els sticity. A shuffling walk finally developes, and the victim deteriorates bis by bit until death comes from total exhaustion.
 The disease is especially frequent among chickens. The case in hand now appears to have developed from a drove of chick ems tha. must have been afflicted with the malady. The chickens eat the corn in its natural state and hence catch the dis ease easily. Cooking. however does not destroy the toxine which composes the poison. In this case the chickens died in droves, and the boy could have caught the disease by handling one of the af- fected birds and eating afterward with out washing his hands.

BRYAN FAvoRs TAFT PLAN.
Advises Democrats to Support the Cor
 poration Tax.

From the Commoner.
 It is question whether any income tax law can be so drawn as to meet the ap- proval of the supreme court If the, court is disposed to follow the last decision on the subject, but whatever the chances may be. we ought to have a constitu- tional amendment specifically authoriz- ing Congress to collect such tax. Now is the time to secure It. With a republi- can administration back of 1t and the democratic party for it, there ought to be no doubt of, the submission and the ratification of the amendment. The sub mission of the amendment need not pre- vent the passage of an income tax law; in fact, 1t would be well to follow up the submission of the amendment with an income tax law, but the advocates of tho income tax law ought not to allow their advocacy of that to prevent their giving hearty support to the amendment. Pres- ident Taft's plan of taxing the net in- comes of corporations can be added to the Bailey-Cummins measure.
 The democrats can well afford to favor all these plans. It is not necessary to choose between them.
