DEMOCRATIC PROGRESS.

The Springfield tMass.) Republican
says: "Texas now has a bank deposit
guaranty or Insurance law which is
optional and allows a choice between
a guaranty fund plan and a bondins
company plan. Three or four days
ago a dispatch was sent out that the
banks were hostile to either plan,
and that only one institution in the
state had manifested disposition to
accept any such arrangement Now
comes the report that within the two
or three days since the measure be-
came a law twenty state banks have
accepted its provisions, all choosing
the guaranty fund plan. This means,
of course, that most or all of the
other banks will also come in under
the act. At least five states now
have some form of deposit guaranty
or mutual insurance of deposits, in
operation-Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas
Nebraska and one of the Dakotas
Thus upon SO much of the issues
which divided the parties in the last
presidential contest Bryan is proving
the winner and Taft the loser. The
latter strongly denounced the scheme
and presented postal savings banks
instead. And nothing is now heart
of postal savings banks"

A HISTORY MAKING CASE.

At the request of the United States
attorneys the hearing at indianapolis
the Panama canal libel suit was ad-
journed yesterday to Oct. IL. This
is the proceeding against the Indian
apolis News for having printed that
Americans profited by the sale of the
Panama canal to the United States
and that part o. the $4O,OOO,00O which
the United States paid found its way
into syndicate's pockets.
For this an indictment was pro-
cured by Mr.. Roosevelt, not in In
dianapolis, where the paper is print
ed and where the offense, if any,
was committed, but in Washington,
in the District of Columbia, hundreds
of miles away. On this Indictment
the Special Assistant Attorney-Gener.
al applied to the Federal Judge sitt-
ing in Indianapolis for the extradi.

ALDRlcH'S EASY TASK.
From the Commoner.

Some of the republican papers are
giving Mr.. Aldrich credit for great
ability in the management of the
tariff discussion, but it must be re-
mem5ered that Mr.. Aldrich's task is
made easy by the fact that he is the
representative of "the SYSTEM and
ssfas all the assistants that he needs
If the readers will pardon the illus.
tratton, Mr.. Aldrich's position is
something like the position of the
shepherd of the western plains who
has number of sheep-dogs to assist
him. The dogs round up any sheep
that show signs of waywardness, ant
thus save the shepherdmany steps.
So with Mr.. Aldrich. The trust rep
resentatives are his faithful assist
ants and line up such senators and
congressman as are responsive to the
call of the trusts. The votes that
have been cast in congress indicate
that the trust representatives have
been neither asleep nor inactive. The
pressure" that they bring to bear
on the legislators relieves Mr.. Aid
rich of great deal of labor. If Mr..
Aldrich relied upon his argument or
upon personal influence, he would
not get Very far in the tariff fight,
but with the trusts behind him to
threaten obstreperous congressman
and to hold out promises of influence
and campaign funds, he is able to
continue his march toward high tariff
victory. When the people decide to
send senators and members who will
guard the interests of ALL the peo-
pie instead of listening to the de-
mands of few, Mr.. Aldrich will be
as powerless as the tariff reformers
are now.

A REPUBLICAN WARNING.

The st. Adams (Vermont) Messen-
ger, a republican paper, gives this
wa' ming to IFS party:
And the whole situation simply
amounts to this, that if out of this
long-continued and earnestly insist
ent popular demand for a statesman
like revision of the tariff the repub-
lican party is to offer the people a
stone when they have asked for breat
then the election for the presidency
in 1912 will tell in unmistakable term
how the indignant people of this
country 'Eebuke the leaders that have
been faithless to their interests.
And the republican party can thank
Aldrich and his associates for its hu-
initiation. There need be no dema-
gogery about such talk as this, no ap-
peal to prejudice, no play to the
galleries. If the events of the past
seven or eight years have clearly
demonstrated anything at all to the
intelligent comprehension of the
great mass of American voters, it is
the greatest obstacle to the trium-
phant craftsmanship and wise admin
istration of government OF the repub-
lican party has not been obstruction
of political opponents from without,
but the short-sighted stubbornness an
arrogant greed of the interests with

HOW TO LIVE 600 YEARS.
(From the Des Moines Daily News.

tF'rom the Des Moines Daily News. y
Samuel G. Blythe-happy man.
He is living ten years to the one
of the average man. He is kind
enough to make public his recipe. and
if you will listen and heed, you too
may live 500 years instead of the
allotted fourscore. His philosophy
sounds bully.
Sam" Blythe, as everyone knows,
is the fellow who writes serious
things in way to make us laugh.
He has broad smile that goes into
his copy" and when we read his
amusing words we know that he
chuckled when he wrote them. His
name pronoinces his character.
Surrounded by party of newspap-
er men, the genial "Sam outlined his
personal philosophy, and it is a duty
and pleasure to pass it along. He,
of course, referred to newspaper men,
but his words apply to most people In
every sort of business. 1t is a phi
,osophy that fits human life.
Sam says he has earned his living
since he was 16 years old by writing,
and he believes that there is no bus
iness in the world where the hours
are so long, work SO eXacting, disci-
pline so rigid and the sense of re-
sponsibility greater.
He says he wasn't fortunate enough
to go to college, but he believes that
it is a good thing for man to get
all the knowledge he can from what
ever Source he can. Men who sue
ceed in the business are men who
have ideas. OF course, that's true.
in any business. He also advises
that men specialize-become experts
in particular lines of interest and
be better informed upon them than
anyone else. Sam specializes or
people-writes about persons and no.
about things. And it's really wond-
erful sometimes to see him pick q
man to pieces-he tells men truths
about themselves that even they new
ar =, eht of.
But listen to what he says about
living 500 years. The man who is
always serious, has no sense of
humor, lives day in "a hours. "If
you have Il sense of humor,' says
Sam, for heavens sake nurse it.
Eiumor is the, scarcest commodity in
the United States. 1t is extinct
elsewhere, almost. Don't let serious
minded persons tell you anything
about dignity and all that sort of
rot. Be happy yourself and contrib
ute to the happiness of other folks. y
That's the secret of long life. The
happy fellow may live ten days in
one. or 500 years in one lifetime. You
see he has ten experiences to the
| sober-faced fellows one. Sam says,
speaking to the newspaper men:
Have lot of fun, see many strange
things. work, keep away from drink,
keep honest, don't grumble, and
| He admits that you may die in
'honored and virtuous poverty" but
gee, whiz! think how long you will
have lived.

THE REToRT COURTEOUS.

An old darky wanted to join a

PRODUCTION OF PETROLEUM IN
1908.
Statistics given out by the United
States Geological Survey.

On February 3, 1909, the Geological
Survey published a statement show
ing the general progress in petroleum
produced during 1908, according to
which the phenomenal production CT
1907 had been eclipsed in 1908 by a
production of between 175, 900, 900 and
lS0,000,000 barrels. The Survey ia
now compiling the final figures for
1903, which will show that the total
production aggregated 179,572,l79 bar.
rels valued at $129, 9,706,25S, an increas
in quantity of S11 per cent over 1907.
Oklahoma led all the states in pro-
duction, with total of 45,79S.765 bar
rels, an increase of 5.23 PER cent over
1907; California was close second,
with 44,S54,737 barrels, an increase
of 1885 per cent over 1907: but Illi-
nois gained the greatect percentage.
rising from 24,2Sl, 1913 barrels in 1907
TO 1855, LOG barrels in 1908, gain
CT 3S.72 Per cent. Colorado, Louisiana,
Michigan, Missouri, Utah, Wyoming
and West Virginia also showed gains
in production. The declines were in
Indiana, where it was nearly 36 Per
cent; in Kansas, 25 per cent; Ohio,
II per cent; Texas per cent; Penn
sylvania, nearly 6 per cent; New
York, 4.3 per cent; and Kentucky and
Tonnoccan
The average price of petroleum for
the entire country in 1908 remained
identical with that in 1907, but there
were considerable variations of an
important character in individual
States. The most notable of these
was the increase in price in Califor-
mia, from 81 cents a barrel in 1907
to so Ia cents barrel in 1908. The
Gulf States, Louisiana and Texas,
showed decline in value from a
little over so cents to 60 cents The
Appalachian oil showed a slight in
crease in value, from s1.75 in 1907 to
Sl.79 in 1908. On the whole, prices
were remarkably steady considering
the notable increase over the large
production of 1907.
