A Wealthy Mans Opinion.

Col. John Elliott, a banker OF
Boonville, and Eellknogn TO many
Howard county citizens, was at the
state capitol several days, says the
Armstrong Herald. Col. Elliott is
one among the few big bankers OF
Missouri who Is In favor OF the Mis-
souri, legislature enacting state
bank guarantee law. As a general
proposition nearly all OF the bankers
Of Missouri oppose law Of this kind
In conversation with the Herald edi-
tor In regard to the question OF q
bank guarantee law, Col. Elliott
said shat he had been down In Okla
homs and saw how the law worked
there, and that what he saw there
had more than convinced him that
the bank guarantee law Is a good
thing for the banks as well as for the
people. He said that the law In
Oklahoma had brought thousands
and thousands OF dollars out OF hid
ing and placed them in circulation,
performing the mission that It was
intended to perform In the CONNER.
cial transactions OF the country.
Kansas has just adopted a bank
guarantee law, and Mr.. Elliott says
that money Is now going out Of Mis-.
souri, to be deposited In the banks OF
Kansas and Oklahoma, where PEG.
pie know that they will have the
states of Kansas and Oklahoma to
guarantee them against any loss OF
money deposited in the banks OF
those states. Col. Elliott says that
In his judgment 1t won't be but
year or 80 before the bankers Of Mis-.
souri, are asking the state legislature
of Missouri to enact a state bank
guarantee law, as q matter OF SELF
protection, instead Of opposing such
law as they are now doing. Col.
Elliott is banker Of ripe experience
and his opinions upon this question
are certainly worthy OF consldera-
tion.
Col. Elliott stands high 10 the state
as a man of success and wealth. He
is a conservative OF conservatives

observation and certain conviction.

DICKINSON TO THE SOUTH.

Secretary OF War Dickinson at
the Tennessee State Fair in
Nashville last Wednesday made
aL earnest appeal TO the South
To respond to 1he efforts Presl.
dent Taft is making to bring
ABOUT d greater racial harmony IN
their midst. In plain and preg
nant words the vigorous South
ern Secretary puts his finger up
on the sore spot of the Southern
situation, tine 3ankering virus of
moo rule. That is the greatest
deterrent to Louthern progress
May these striking words be seed
sown on good ground:
If the white people assert the
light to govern, then the gov.
ernment should be one of lair
ness and justice, "a government of
law, and not of passion. The
courts, and not MODS, should
punish law breakers. Negroes
should be protected in their prop
erly rights, settled with Justly
and governed by the constituted
authorities. Those who estab
liehed the Commonwealth of
Tennessee, such men as James
Robertson, John Sewer and Au.
drew Jackson, would have spurn
ed with Indignation the very sug
geston that IN time of peace they
did not have virtue and manhood
enough to enforce the law
through the courts The cauk
ering virus of mob rule, no mat
ter against what evils directed
destroys all wholesome life in
the body polite, and makes II "a
polluted wreck, swayed by pas
sion aud incapable of the ordin-
airy administration of law.
We do not subscribe, however,
TO the extreme Interpretation Mr..
Dickinson puts upon the Presi
dents Negro appointing policy
President Taft has never said
that he will not appoint Negroes
To Office IN the South Their
right to hold Office is coroI airy
to their right to an equal ballot,
upon which the President insi> is.
However diSproportionate the
representation of the two races
IN federal appointments the Ne.
gro should have the encourage
ment of such recognition. Pres.
ident Taft in his inaugural ad
dress said, This just policy
shall be pursued " The radical
and monafchiaI position Of Secre.
tary Dickinson of appointing nc
Negroes to office in the Louth. =
England does not attempt even
IN her colonies.
Nor is it for the best interes is
of the South and the Negro that
there be established a governed
and a governing race in the
South. This is government by
all the people and not by one
race. New York Age.

NEW POLITICAL PRECEDENT.

San Francisco's new mayor is P. H
Mccarthy, of the Labor Union party.
He is familiarly known at home as
Pin-Head Mccarthy. Whether he gets
his popular title because Of the in
itials in his name or whether that title
is due to his intellectual equipment is
not known.
He proposes in his program cover
ing two years to come in the office OF
mayor to give the people who have
suffered earthquakes, fires, strikes,
lawsuits, suicides and nearly every
other dismal event, period of hilar-
ity. He wants joy to reign supreme.
He proposes, no doubt, to take the lid
off,
This will not please the reformers,
but it may after all be satisfactory 60
a people that are weary of the siren
uous life. San Francisco has not been
a joyous town since the great earth
quake, and it is plainly entitled to a
period of reaction, but if Mayor-elect
Mccarthy carries his plan of reaction
too far another reaction will be il
order, and then the machinery of re-
form can again be put in operation.

AN ENJOYABLE FUNCTION.
The Mecgraph Club Entertains Com
plimentary to Miss Georgia Lee.

One of the most enjoyable func-
tions of the season was the affair
given yesterday afternoon at the
home of Mrs. J. Langhorne Barham
by tue Mecgraph Club complimentary
to Miss Georgia Lee.
The entertainment consisted Of the
writing of floral love story, which
afforded much amusement. Miss
Georgia Lee won the prize in this
contest, the Love Poems" of Mrs.
Browning.
| At five o'clock the guests were in
| vited into the dining room, where
| they found their places by the names
of famous lovers. This room was a
bower of yellow chrysanthemums, the
nlantel and walls being banked with
these flowers, palms and ferns. The ta-
BILE was decorated with mass of yell
low chrysanthemums in the centre
and garlands of smilax and lighted
candles. The menu cards were in the
shape of a wedding bell with pic
ture of the bride and the souvenirs
were miniature bridal Slippers filled
with yellow mints.
Just before being seated at the ta-
BILE Mrs. Barham very gracefully
presented to Miss Lee the Mecgraph
loving cup, won last Park Day, which
she had had in her keeping until the
next member of the club was mar
ried Standing, each one present
drank toast to the health and hap
piness of the bride-elect.
Between the courses much enjoy
ment was afforded by the reading of
toasts, which were hidden in the flow
ers and which were drawn out by
yellow ribbons.
| After the lunch the wedding cake
was cut Miss Rena Lee, of Clinton,
cutting the ring, Mrs. Barham the
money, and Mrs. Jones the. thimble.
Much excitement and surprise was
caused by the announcement of an
engagement which is to be kept a Sc
cret for some time.
Those present were, all Mecgraph
Club members: Mesdames Henry
Jones, J. L. Barham, Paul Yelverton,
Fred Mintz; Misses, Georgia Lee, Eliz-
abeth Borden, Rachel H. Borden, Es
telle O'Berry, Helene We'll, Rosalie

A FRIEND AT COURT.

From what was published of Judge
Gaynor's speeches and conduct in the
recent mayoralty contest in New YORK
there is little reason to look upon him
as a man who may attain further po-
litical prominence in the country, but
the Washington Post seems to think
that he at least has the opportunity /
and says:
Fortune has come to William J.
Gaynor with both hands full, and af- |
forded him opportunity to show
whether he is a giant or pygmy. She |
came to Samuel J. Tilden in the same
mood, and with the same rich gifts,
and he had the genius and character
to smite Tweedism and make a felon
of it. In 1875 he struck the canal
ring 'up state,'' and it withered. These
reforms-real, not sham-made him
his party's candidate for President in
1876, and nearly everybody now con-
cedes that he was elected to that high
est dignity.
Suppose Judge Gaynor, as mayor
should not only give New York an
honest administration, compelling
honesty in the remotest ramiication
of it, but that he should unearth, ex-
pose, prosecute, and gibbet graft, so
lately secure, defiant and triumphant
suppose he does do that; he will be
the nominee of his party for Presi-
dent in 1912 by sheer force of circum-
stance
Should he do these things, and
thus be nominated, he may be defeat
ed by his Republican adversary; but
he will have set his party on it's legs
and put it in the middle of the big
road, and that is job for Hercules.
When the elder Bennett, of the New
York Herald, read the surrender at
Sedan, it nearly broke his heart; but,
getting cheer, he said, What France
: needs is a man." And so the Demo
+ cratic party. What it needs is man
? a real man, and not sham; one who
I does things, rather than one that says
Y things.
