| of Sylvia, Kansas, objects to the call
I ing of a special session of the legisla-
ture and declares that the farmers of
his section are not interested in the
guaranty law, nor are they worrying
over their deposits.
In the next paragraph of his epistle
Mr.. Mardis asserts that our monetary
system is very bad and that our banks
are rickety. He suggests that the
Kansas square dealers, instead of call
ing a special session of the legislature,
have congress enact into law a scheme
that he, Mr.. Mardis, has evolved
which would solve the monetary prob
lens of the country. Here is the plan:
In order to avoid a called session,
/ submit possible panacea, which if
carefully worked out by some of our
more successful financiers (outside of
Mr.. MorSe) and enacted into law
would suffice for a central bank pos
tai savings, guaranty deposit, and
would afford a trustworthy surplus,
adjust the currency and keep it all in
our banks for business.
Have the congress pass a law au-
thorizing the printing and issuance of
enough millions of 2 per cent bonds
emergency bonds socalled) of different
denominations to supply the needs of
all banks in this country, state and ma
tional banks alike, distribute them Dro
use of banks only, SO that when trou-
BILE foreShaEOwS, or at any other time
bankers could bundle up their securi-
ties, HE to the nearest designation,
hypothecate their securities and take
per cent bonds in lieu thereof. Then
they are ready for any emergency
and in cases of fright when depositors
with looks askance wanted their cash,
that they didn't need, all of them
would prefer a per cent postal bond
rather than to lug their wads, taking
chances on holdups or otherwise los
ing it."
Harry ]. Bone is sure to retain his
place as United States district attorney
for another term, according to the dis
patches from Washington. President
Taft has checked it up to Wickersham
his attorney general. and it is said that
the latter favors Mr.. Bones reappoint
ment. Senator Curtis visited the White
House again this week and pressed the
matter of the Bone appointment. The
president sent the senator to Wicker
sham. Now Senator Bristow can lay
the blame for the failure of his man
Higgins to get the place upon the at
torney general and not upon the presi-
dent Senator Bristow did not file an
application for Higgins appointment
for the alleged reason that he did not
believe it would do any good to do so.
but he presented the name of his choice
lOT the QiSlIlCl attorney JOD III pGISOH
to the president and by word of mouth.
1t is said at Washington that Senator
Bristow has given up hope of federal
patronage and that it is almost a GER
tainty that Bone will be reappointed
very soon.
w. P. Montgomery, secretary of the
Kansas Day club. has sent out the
following invitations to the nineteenth
annual banquet of the club to be held
