The democrats announce they will
resent any attempt to turn down their
selections and considerable number
Of insurgent republicans say they
Will support them on the grounds that
the minority has a right to name it's
own committee members.
The insurgents are badly divided on
the proposition, and the indications
are that large number OF them will
refrain from attending the republi-
can caucus as they do not wish to be
bound by the result.
Representative Dwight. the republi.

circulating the petition for the caucus
among the members, and secured a
long list of signatures, which includ-
Cd about half "a dozen insurgents, in

1t Was generally understood on all
sides that the language of the eau.

THE STAMP DECISION.

The United States supreme court
has held unconstitutional the state
law requiring holders of government
special stamp tax certificates to pub
fish the fact of their possession and
pay the costs of publication. The
theory of the decision, probably, is
that this is a state requirement add
ed to a federal special tax, and that
such an additional requirement can
not be imposed by the state. The
object of the law requiring the pub
LEGATION of these receipts by the hold
ers was probably to give information
to the prosecuting authorities of the
prima facie probability of the viola
ton of the prohibition law of the
state, and of the place where the
special tax stamp was posted or kept
thus informing the authorities and
the public of the premises, and also
advising the owner in case the prem
fses were used for unlawful pur-
poses.
The government, of course, takes
no cognizance of the prohibition law
in the state, in the matter of issuing
special stamps for the retail sale of
liquor. The special stamps are pro.
V1ded for by the federal statute, and
until that statute is repealed or
amended, they will continue to be

Chicago. Jan. 1S.-The illness OF
Mayor Fred A. Eusse of this city
whose physicians have ordered an
other operation, LAS caused alarm
to his numerous friends. The mayor
has never recovered entirely from
injuries received in a railroad wreck
in 1907. It was in the same year
that Mr.. Dusse was elected to the
office OF mayor, becoming Chicago's
first four year mayer. Or. John B.
Murphy Of Chicago, the famous sur
geon, who operated on Mr.. Busse
last summer, decided that another
operation could not be deferred
much longer in view CT the state OF
the mayors health. Mayor Busse Is
a republican, forty-four years old.
He has held the Office of state sena-
tor, state treasurer, and postmaster
of Chicago.

OFFENDING: BANK OFFICIALS

The function of the banker is 10
nroyide safe, adequate and sound
depostary for the funds of the pub
liz His econ omic function is that
of receiving and distributing funds,
so that the public savings may hnd
a safe Judgment and the public nee
essities for funds may be relieved
from the savings of those who do not
operate with their money but deposit
it for safe keeping. The banker is
an important figure in the commun'
ity. because he of necessity finances
it's operations, when they reach an
extent beyond the capital of opera
tors, and business of the country is
done largely on credit. The mer-
chants borrow to meet current bills
and needs. The obligation is safe
because back Of it is the stock of
goods that is paid for and the credit
of the community, that buys the
goods.
The maintenance Of banking in
situations is pretty we'll safeguarded
bv the law. 1t is nearly safe to say
that if the national banking laws be
observed to the letter, bank cannot
fail. Its doors may be closed pend
ing some unusual condition, but its
assets are those Of the community
and will pay out dollar for dollar.
In the anxiety t. make quick for
tunes, to speculate, to buy proper
ties that promise big advances, bank
ers sometimes violate the banking
laws, and make use of the funds OF
their stockholders ror wrongful pur-
poses. We have examples of this in
three notable instances recently, the
Walsh case in Chicago, where a SEN
tence Of five years has just been at
frmed, the Morse case in New York,
where sentence Of fifteen years has
begun, and the Jones case in this
state where sentence of ten years
has been passed.
The necessity for exemplary SEN
fences in these cases is obvious. A
violation of the banking laws en-
dangers the safety of the funds of
depositors. It endangers public
confidence in banking Institutions.
1t is crime more dangerous than
appears upon its face, for it attacks
public confidence in banks. Severe
sentences are usually passed, not
that it is desired deeply to punish
and humiliate the offender but as
warning to those entrusted with
public funds under the protection of
the law that that trust must not be
disregarded.

MRS. THOMPSON INTERVIEWED

MRS. THOMPSON INTERVIEWED.
The Minneapolis Journal had an
Interview with the wife OF United
States Senator Thompson, who talks
interestingly about her DOMESTIC life
and conditions in North Dakota. Mrs.
Thompson tells Washington society
about the cost of grain fed turkeys,
Tsrairie chickens, grouse, geese and
ducks and compares prices Of good
living at home with the higher prices
paid by Washington people for poor
er articles IF food. North Dakota vege-
tables, which ere the best in the
world, are especially mentioned. The
mutton of North Dakota. the mealy
potatoes, the prize numokins and the
crab apple jelly with pastry and
breads made from hard wheat -four,
and other advantages that farmers
and their families enjoy in this state
are enlarged upon at some length,
and all to the credit # this state
Mrs. THOMPSON also goos into the
subiei~t Of our social ,emusements, H.
braries. womnn's clubs and lectures,
the advantages of lone distance tele-
phones, and declares that life is much
more agreeable ard much more enjoy
able in the northwest than is gener-
ally believed by the average eastern
person. The trouh'le of heating homes
and the high Hrico Of "oal in Wash
ington, astonish Mrs. Thomson. She
has called upon all the senator's wives
and officials of the government and Is
expecting to have other people call
upon her.

eral law to forbid the issue of spec
ial stamps in prohibition states, but
up to the present time there has
been no repeal or amendment of the
law.
Under the decision Of the supreme
court, of course, there need be no
further publications or ADVERTISE
ments, and holders Of special tax
stamps may not be required to give
public notice of their possession.
The state supreme court held that
the law was within the proper pol
ice power of the state. The United
States supreme court takes the view
that it is an infringement upon the
prerogatives of congress and the fed
