The New NeWSDaper.

New York Times: The truly typical
newspaper of this hour prints all the
news of each day without prejudice.
In political campaign the arguments
Of both sides, of all sides, are coherently
presented. The oldspolitical newspaper
saw no side but it's own. Not only
through it's editorial page, but through
its news columns it fought its party S
battle. The reader Of well conducted
newspaper now has clear view of the
issue, and so far as the news columns
are concerned is left largely to decide
for himself. In this way, surely, a
good newspaper exertS a wide and bene-
ficient influence.

FAITH IN THE OLD TOWN
A Former Mineral Pointers View
of the Effect of the Bank
Failure

Robert Leslie MOffett. a former resi-
dent of Mineral Point, is now a success
full lawyer of New York City From a
recent letter from him to the publishers
Of this paper we print the following;
AS with all old Mineral Pointers"
I was greatly shocked to learn of the
disclosures respecting the recent bank
failure. I have no doubt the old town
was staggered under the blow, but the
numerous evidences of increased wealth,
while on my visit there about two years
ago, is rather assuring as to the ability
of the old town to withstand the matter
Il regret that my visit was so short,
after an absence of twenty four years,
but I enjoyed every moment of it, par
ticularly securing a Whit Of the old of
fee, and a view of that famous towel.
Although I have never been called upon
to exercise, to any extent, the printing
art which acquired under your care
full instructions, nevertheless I have al
ways felt that my first employment
(without salary has always been of
enormous value to me as a foundation
in devising legal fees. 1 would advise
all young men who contemplate follow
ing the legal profession, to take a short
course AS a devil. The profession of
law seems to naturally follow.
please extend my kindest regards to
all old friends, and assure them that as
I grow older, my interest in the old ma
tive town increases. 1t is my hope that
within a few years, 1 may make visit
to the old place with my brother VIII,
and thoroughly go over the old routes,
which lack of time and his absence,
prevented on my last visit

GUARANTEE DEPOSITS.

The guarantee Of deposits is a govern
mental problem which ought to be
worked out satisfactorily by the people
Of the United States. There ought to
be either postal savings banks or guaran
teed banks, or both. The plan now on
trial in Oklahoma may not be the right
plan, or it may be defective; but there
is good evidence to show that it is far
from being a failure. In answer to an
inquiry from a citizen Of Mineral Point,
A. NJ. Young, Bank Commissioner for
the State Of Oklahoma, writes from
Guthrie as follows:
"As requested in your recent letter,
we are mailing you under seperate
cover copy our banking laws. When l
took charge Of the Columbia Bank &
Trust Company, September %, they had
deposits Of approximately $3,O0O,OO0.
"AlI Individual depositOrs have been
paid except Il few Thousand dollars, |
have more than enough cash on hand to
pay them. The only reason they haven t
been paid is because they have so much
confidence in our guaranty law that
they do not call for their money.
'sThe failure Of the Columbia Bank &
Trust Company has greatly strength
ened the guaranty law in Oklahoma.
PEOPLE have more confidence in it now
than ever before To show the wonder
fnI effect Of this law it is only necessary

We are well here, that is, all the

a fine fall for harvesting and threshing
the crop; but of late there has been
quite a little windy weather and colder.
The ground froze and stopped blowing
two weeks ago. We have about $50
acres plowed.
Land values are steadily advancing,
every tract selling for an advance over
land previously sold near it.
Work stopped on the NJ, G. R. r.,

PASSED FROM THIS LIFE


NSNlOCh ~ ILbby
died at his home in this city on Wed
nesday morning, November "a, after a
lingering illness; aged 10 years.
The decedent was born in ScarbOro,
Maine, on June s, 1886. In 1857 he
came to Mineral Point with his sister

Newspaper publishers who print no
tees Of games of chance or news giving
the names Of winners Of prizes in such
games cannot send their papers through
the mails. The Democrat believes that
the federal law which holds all games
Of chance to be gambling is not only a
good law but a very necessary one. A
chance game for money or an article Of
value is gambling, and the interpreta
ton by the postoffice officials Of the fed
eraf statute in relation thereto shows
that it is so regarded by the department.
Under the heading, newspapers cannot
print prize card party items, The Mil
waukee Journal Of last Saturday prints
the following:
THE journal receives nearly every
day for publication announcements of
prize card parties conducted by frater
nal societies and church organizations,
the proceeds of which go to worthy
charities Most of these are sent i'll by
women, who are anxious that they shall
be printed. In every case, however,
they contain the statement that prizes
are to be offered for the winners in
cinch, skat, bridge or other tourna-
ments
'PIainIy speaking this awarding of
prizes. no matter how worthy the OBJ
icct, is held by federal authorities to be
gambling. The Journal would be VIC
lating Il federal statute in printing such
announcements and the United States
mails would be closed to editions con
tanning such matter.
This notice is given so that those in
tcrested will understand the position Of
The Journal, which is ever ready and
willing to assist charitable enterprise.
From the above quotation from the
Journal it will be seen that the Demo
crat has only performed its plain duty
in refusing to publish announcements Of
game of chance.
