GRATUIToUs AND FOOLISH.

A bill establishing the Oklahoma"
bank guaranty system in Illinois has
made its appearance in the legisla-
ture. Interviews with leading chi.
cage bankers were published In these
pages yesterday which leave no doubt
as to their unalterahle opposition to
any such measure. That the bankers
Of the state at large agree with their
Chicago brethren may be taken for
granted And the same remark may
be made of the generality of intelli.
gent business men and depositors.
The federal supreme court has
sustained the constitutionality of the
Oklahoma guaranty act. But Il did
not decide that the act was wise and
necessary. Here in Illinois It would
be unwise and unnecessary. No one
suggested such legislation during tho
last campaign Il rs not mentioned
in any platform: it has not been de-
manded, favored, Endorsed by any sec
ton Of the public. The Introduction
of the bill is a perfectly gratuitous
act.
What Illinois needs In banking is a
poor and alien who are too often
swindled by irresponsible and dis
statute placing private banks under
proper control and protecting the
honest so-called bankers" who take
advantage Of their freedom and op
portunities. The legislature SHOULD
deal with vital and urgent matters in
banking as in Their spheres. aud let
frllls and innovations severely alone.

There is a movement under way IT
various Illinois towns to have all post
offices closed on Sunday. 1t was
started by the postal clerks. ana they

mail TO town for Sunday If 1t is NOT

that day. There does not appear to
be much merit in the movement. for
Sunday is very generally observed In
the offices of the smaller cities at
present, there being no carrier SER
vice and but limited number of
clerks on duty in The office for few
hours of the day. Yet this serves
many citizens who come to the ol..ce
and get their mail from their boxes
or through general delivery. 1t can
hardly be claimed that the few men
on duty TO render this service are
very much hurt morally or Otherwise
because they render this service Still.

A Bully Old World.

Oh, life is a wonder and death a
blunder, Its good to be living and
strong Its fine to be chatting and
joking and laughing. and chortling
a tra-la-la song. Its great to be
working like bitten and jerking
your living from out of the soil. Its
gay to be earning real money and
spurning the thought of a life with
out toll. Most all the repining and
%grunting and whining is done by the
~loafers you'll note; the toilers and
~tillers, old Industry's pillars, no
time to complaining devote; they
skirmish and rustic, they hump and
hustle and put up their hay in the
sun; they NOW and they garner and
don't give a darn or a whoop for the
indolent one. Such fellows are use
full; they're worth a caboose full of
men who have nothing to do but
grunt all together concerning the
weather. the crops, and the govern
ment, too. ] tell you, dear chappy,
IL you would be happy, you'll have
to get busy and work; there isn't
much use to shirk. The man who is
lazy drives busy men crazy and over
the transom he's hurled; but things
keep a-coming to folks who are hum
ming. and this is a bully old world.

OLD TIMERS ON DUTY
IA THE STATE CAPITOL
MANY OF THE ASSISTANTS
IN THE STATE HOUSE HAVE
HELD THEIR POSITIONS FOR
MANY YEARS.

In speaking of the long time ser
vice of A. G. Pratt in the work of
the state in the various offices an old
timer made the following statement
about old time servers, says the Car
son News.
There are three or four men in
the capitol who have almost become
fixtures and will be held by the new
officers. There are viii Mackey,
who has been in the printing Office
ever since 1895, when the Silver
Party took the state; Jack Doane.
who was for eight years deputy
secretary of state under Howell, was
four years under Sam Davis as depu-
ty in the state controllers office and
who served the last four years under
Jake Eggers as deputy and is still
holding down the same Office.
Charlie Deadly, the present sur
veyor general, is another old timer
in the game. His first went into the
capitol as a draughtsman under A. G..
Pratt where he served for four years.
He followed this as draughtsman and
deputy under Surveyor General Kelly
holding the position until his death,
when Mr.. Deadly was appointed to
the office and later elected TO the
same position.
Col. S. II. Day is another of the
oldtimers. He is now a deputy in
the office of Surveyor General Deadly.
He first went into Office in June 1869
as a deputy under his uncle-Sur-
veyor General John Day. He served
in this position until Jan 1879 and
has been employed at intervals eve
since in the various Offices.
