On July first, the Nebraska Guarantee
Banking law will go into effect unless
prevented by some action at law by the
banks opposed to it.
While there was much discussion Of the
general proposition during last fairs pres
dental campaign, the law which the legis-
lature and governor OF Nebraska succeeded
finally in enacting, has not been much con-
sidered by the public. The presumption
seems to exist that in this law the people
OF the state have obtained what was de-
scribed during the discussion and was
promised by the dominant political faction.
The arguments Offered against the pro-
position centered principally in the state
ment that it would enable men to engage
in the banking business and obtain deposits
upon the credit Of a guarantee fund, who,
upon their own credit and capital would
never be able to do business.
II the public should be induced to ac-
cept with implicit confidence the idea tina
such a fund would protect bank depositors
against loss, then II can be easily seer
that those holding this view would not
deem It necessary to consider the standing
OF the banks in which their deposits should
be made, for these deposits would be
equally secure in a bank Of small capita
as In one OF large capital. IN banks owned
or conducted by dishonest. incompetent
inexperienced or speculative men, as II
banks manages and controlled by men Of
experience and Of assured ability. probitS
and worth.
That this Is not an exaggerated state
ment from an enemy Of the guarantee law
is shown by an extract from an editoria
In the Omaha World Herald immediatel!
following the passage OF the act which (.
as follows;
1t is a bill which does just that whiol
the leaders of democracy promised las
fall that IL would do. II furnishes Il
every man who has a dollar deposited II
one of the state banks Of Nebraska alb
solute security and is a surety that h
will receive hat dollar back, whether tn
man to whom he has entrusted II is
thief or an honest man, an incompeten
or an able financier, whether bank rob
beers break in and steal or Wall stree
pirates precipitate a panic.
II 1t should prove, as will be surel
demonstrated, that this bill has nothing q
the character described and that tn
absolute security referred to in this ed
torial is really no security at all-then
can De seen tnat by the operation OF Uni
law, the people of this state will be mad
to run the risk OF a great and far reach
ing calamity.
1t Is true that such a law as the World
Herald describes was promised by tn
leaders of the democracy, but this la
utterly fails as a fulfilment Of thS
promise.
The law proposed by Mr.. Bryan an
generally talked by the supporters Of ii
scheme, was for a definite and fixed cas-
fund, to be deposited in the state treasur,
and il redeposited in the banks to |

public deposits are now secured.

Saturdays Football Game.

The football game last Saturday
between Skowhegan High school and
Pennington High school was a very
interesting one, although the rain was
somewhat disagreeable. During the
first hale there was no scoring for
either side and the teams worked the
ball from one end of the field to the
other. The Pennington boys had a
very good team ard seemed to gain
more ground by their running with
the ball than the home team. The
punting of Lacasce and the swiftness
of the ends, however, gained much
ground for Skowhegan In the sec
ond half the Skowhegan boys played
better, as they generally do and sue
ceeded in getting about twenty-five
yards from their opponents goal.when
the other side secured the ball Then
came the feature OF the game, when
Farmingtons s on side kick was slight
ly blocked by Merriam. and Lacasce
secured il and ran around left end for
a touchdown. After that there was
no more scoring, but the game was s
TO 0 IN Skowhegan's favor and that
was satisfactory. Captain Dingle
played fine game for Pennington
and gained far more ground than any
one else on either team. For Show
hegan. the stars were Laeasce and
Merriam, both OF whom played a very
creditable game.
The lineup for Pennington was as
follows; Hiscock c; Hutchins. r. G.:
Fish, r. l.; Roderick. T. e.; Nottage,
|. E.; Marr. l. t.; Small. l. e; Pooler,

That Annette Kellermann still con-

interest manifested in her at Keith's

is hard to explain. When she comes
out of the water 1t is easy to under
stand how Professor Sargent of Har-
ward came to pronounce her the
perfect woman"

Miss Kellermann heads splendid all
round vaudeville bill, on which there
will be another bright particular star
in the person of Louise Dresser, who
has forsaken musical comedy and en-

THE GAME SEASON
HAS OPENED
Conditions are Excellent
Throughout Maine
Many Inquiries Have Been Made OF

will continue until December -. when
the laws governing the protection OF
game Will all be Ia effect again. The
season which opened Friday IS for the
killing OF deer open time on moose
not commencing until The 18th.
The start-of Of the game season
finds conditions excellent for some
early bags Of game. The rains Of the
early part OF the week Wet down the
hunting grounds in great shape and
the hunter who fails 10 get a deer
because he cannot approach near
enough to his quarry needs 10 get an
airship and do his hunting that way.
Il may be a little difficult 10 see the
game in the woods, as the leaves are
not entirely off the trees. but most
sPortsmen won't kick on this handi-
cap.
AS for Tie supply OF big game, it
According to reports sent in to the
office of the Fish and Game commits
sion at Augusta, there is every rea-
son to believe that deer and moose
passed through the summer in ex-
cellent condition and held their own
against the ravages of the last hunt
ing season. In some localities game
is very plentiful, while in others it
is scarce, but in the latter instance
poor feed is given as the reason for
the absence OF game rather than
scarcity of it.
Both the game commission and the
railroad officials are looking forward
to a very successful season. Railroad
officials state that from the number
of inquiries that have been received
and other indications. there is every
reason to believe that many sports
men will be in the woods this sea-
son for game. The demand for Ii
censes is said to be as good as ever
