Carnegie has offended the nationa

Carnegie has offended the national
sense of Justice, and no act would
meet with so general popular ap-
plause as cne that would follow a
motion to take the Laird of Skibo
by the scruff of the neck and land
him squarely before the bar of Con-
gress. 1t is not always easy to de-
Inc humor, but the American people
are pretty certain that paying inter-
est on three times the actual value
of the Carnegie properties is not
highly amusing. The jester should be
made to laugh out of the other cor
aer of his mouth. What we need is
fewer libraries and more justice"
The Philadelphia North American
says of Carnegie: Whenever men
in the coming years see Carnegie's
sculptored name they will say: He
preached peace abroad, after having
helped to make hell at home,
Success Instead of Failure.
Operation Of the bank deposits
guaranty law in Nebraska has fail
ed to result in panics, business
choas and bank failures, as its op-
ponents predicted. There were no
bank failures in Nebraska last year
What the law did accomplish, on the
other hand, was more and better bus
mess for the banks. The money on
deposit in the $50 state banks was
increased last year over the year be-
fore by S2,209,674.35. The reserve on
hand is 81 per cent, or three per
cent more than year ago. The law
accomplished an increase in the
banks opportunities for profit be-
cause of increased deposits. Then
it made the banks more immune from
invasion uron the legal reserve, due
to the fact that the depositors knew
their money was absolutely safe, and
weren't so anxious to draw it out as
heretofore. Last but not least, no de-
positor ran the risk of losing a pen
ny of his savings!

We notice in looking over the ex-
changes that the secretaries OF
school boards are publishing their
semi-annual statements of expenses
as required by law. In Gilpin county
no attention is being paid to this

The Democratic editors, intent up.

Fer years the Democratic press has
been more or less at the beck and

ready to use the papers to further
their own political ends. Henceforth,
Democratic papers will devote their
efforts to advancing the interests
of the party as whole. rather than
