some instances. the greater portion Of

On the whole, the market undoubtedly

The feature or business was perhaps
the tendency OF buying TO occupy itself

A notable exception to-day to the up

THE COMMISSION PLAN.

Several California cities are opera
ting under the commission plan o.
government. and the results are il
every case coming up to public an
ticipation, and as predicted by those
who advocated the same.
The Los Angeles Express claims
that IL win not be iong now until Los
Angeles will be demanding this plan
for that city.
Los Angeles is the city that fur
nished the recall provision that is now
made part of the commission plan.
1t has also adopted the plan of elect
ing alderman at large from the city
instead of by wards.
The recall provision has worked
well in that city. 1t took the reins
from the hands of an incompetent and
corrupt mayor and placed them in
the hands of an able and honest man
and since then the city has abolished
the principal part of the abuses com
planned of under the offending Off
cial.
The taste of government by the
people for the people has encouraged
the people to further efforts in that
direction and the chances are that
the prophecy of the Express will
soon come true,--Peoria Journal.

There Is reason to believe that the
Taft Day demonstration in Cairo
while confined to narrower limits
will surpass the Roosevelt demon
stration in impressIveness. 1t will
be concentrated ON few blocks on
Ohio street, where all of the thous.
ands who may be gathered there can
see and hear everything at once, and
it will be Of quality that can not
fail to leave a lasting impression on
the president and upon all the
strangers who come to Cairo on that
occasion The striking features on
the levee slope will ny the military

that about $4,000 VIII be needed to
meet the cost of tho demonstration,
and there ought to be no difficulty
about getting this trifling sum for so
great an opportunity to place the city

PRIVATE BANKS OF ILLINOIS.

The State aof Wisconsin has not a
single private bank The State of
Kansas, according to some recent fig.
ures, has only four. The State of H.
linois has $50.
A private bank is technically a
bank which knows no law, either fed,
eral or state, excepting the ordinary
commercial law and the criminal law
when caught going wrong. The
banker IS law unto himself
A good banner is 4 good law unto
himself, but he is rome the worse AT
that for being brought under state in,
spection and regulation. With a bad
banker state inspection is the only
safeguard which his depositors have.
Ii Illinois had not had large propor-
ton OF sound and conservative pri-
waite bankers the state would have ex-
ercised its power long ago But this
does not excuse the state for falling
to exercise its power to protect the
customers OF the bad bankers. Every
now and then one OF these latter
closes his doors and the revelations
that follow prove conclusively that
the state. by its neglect, has betrayed
many Of its most confiding citizens
into bad hands.
