If there are any charges which
which genuine Democrats have a
special right to resent above other
people these are eXtortionate
charges in the way Of hotel rates.
Urey Woodson suggests that the
Baltimore landlords be settled with
according to the ancient Kentucky
code of ethics, which gave the az
grieved guest the right to shoot
provided he had first paid his bill
without argument like a gentleman
and also provided he could draw
first. This would seem to call for
radical departure even in radical
times. In fact, it is almost Social
istic in tone, and we are unable to
approve it, though conscious that
Democrats stand in the presence of
great wrongs not the least of which
is landlordism. We counsel the
delegates rather to find peaceful
way out. There must be some
loophole for a quiet escape.-Re-

the money slowed away in 1.-TWO

The building had been handed
down for several generations and
the money was very probably put
there by some member of the

Manager of Motor Car Company
Finds Magazine Ads a Money
Waste.

Lucius s.. French. secretary and
advertising manager Of the Hender-
SOL Motor Car Company of Indian
apolis, Ind, has decided that the
leading newspapers of the country
are better mediums for advertising
than the magazines. All of the Hen
derson advertising in the future will
be through the press. He holds that
magazine advertising is reaching I'M
represented territory, but is a money
waste.
"The only place that the manu-
facturer can hope to dispose of his
produc is within the radius Of his dis
tributing houses or branches says
Mr.. French. The newspapers issue
seven days a week. The magazines
comes out one a month.
"Mr. Business Man is more inti-
mately acquainted with his daily pa
per, and for this reason we consider
the newspaper an incompatible me-
dunn. When buying space in the
newspaper w buy circulation in the
particular zone desired.
while l have no desire to indorse
to the uttermost one medium over
another. | am frank in my belief that
the most universal appeal can be
made through the newspapers. The
Henderson company and its distri-
butors and dealer, representatives
will continue to advertise in the
newspapers exclusively thus concen-
trating Jul entire market where the
Henderson is being introduced and
establishing itself on a firm basis
Other automobile companies arc
coming 10 the same conclusion and
business is improving.

B. f. Yoakum has built more miles
of railroad in Texas than any other
living mar during the past ten years.
Mr.. Yoakum was born in Limestone
County, Texas. Like nearly all big
railroad mel he mastered his pro-
fession from the bottom up. He begun
his railroad experience as a laborer
on a construc ion gang Of the Inter-
national & Great Northern between
Jacksonville and Palestine and reach
ed the top rung in railroad manage
ment in 1905 when he was elected
chairman Of the Executive Commit
tee of the Rock Island and Frisco
Lines and directed the affairs OF
IT, 200 miles Of railroad-the great
est aggregate mileage under any
single control in the world.
1t was Mr.. Yoakum's early ambi-
ton t span the prairies of Texas
with railroads and in the beginning
of his career, he mapped out a COM
prehensive system Of 5000 miles o.
railroad needed in Texas, which he
secretly determined to build, and he
has constructed over 1900 miles, but
at the close of the 32nd Legislature
announced that he had grown weary
of the task and would soon retire
from construction work. Legislation
inimical to railroad investments and
public sentiment hostile to the rail-
road industry are said to be the rea-
sons assigned for his retirement from
the field.

Every ones and a while, here and
there in Texas, reports are published
of insane prisoners who are held in
county jails, because of inability to
obtain admission for them to the
state insane asylum. These people
are usually of the pauper class, whose
relatives, if they have any, are un-
able to pay for accommodations at
the asylums or at a private sanitar-
ium for them. 1t is said there are
scores of these unfortunates in the
iails of the state. Their condition
is pitiable in the extreme. Under
the most favorable circumstances.
when the jails are modern and prop
erly equipped, it is a hardship to
be confined in them. When we con-
slider the fact that a great many
Texas jails are far from being mod
ern. or ever comfortable, are often
unsanitary, and that insane persons
so confined are exposed 10 contact
with the rough class which general
~ constitutes the prison population it
is plain that the condition Of these
helpless people is deplorable. Often
they are the sport of their fellow
prisoners, who, like too many others,
are of the opinion that insane peo-
pie are the legitimate laughing
stock of the world. The mental
condition of these helpless creatures
is bound TO grow worse as time
rasses. They receive no treatment
such as is usually given the insane
in the asylums. Their surroundings
are calculated rather to lessen their
chance of recovery rather than to
alleviate their malady.
They are indeed to be pitied. The
state has neglected too long to make
provision for these helpless wards.
It is a shame that a state so great
and SO progressive as Texas is In
most respects should fail to provide
ample accommodations for its in
sane paupers.

OUR BAD BANKING SYSTEM.
Andrew Carnegie, in Leslie's' Has
Something to Say on 1t.

/ note that some writer has said
there are tw~enty-seven thousand rea-
sons why the country needs banking
reform. He meant our tweDty-thous-
and banks. But | say there are nine
ty-odd million reasons. | mean that
ii concerns the fortunes, the income
the bread and butter of all the peo-
pie Of the United States. 1t is the
great humanitarian issue of the day.
You recall the panic Of 1907. 1t was
very bad. The banks broke down. We
got over it-that is the wonderful
thing about this r%esourceful coun-
try, for no other land could have
stood such a disaster. But there was
great suffering. Good business houses
went to the wall: half a million men
were thrown out of work. Charity
had more than it could do to take
care Of the homeless and foodless.
The banks did not suffer so much,
but all the people who work did.
Now, our bad banking System
brought this panic on, just as 1T has
brought on panics in the past. just
as it will bring them on again If it
is not corrected. Bear this fact in
mind, and then consider that in Eu-
rope they don't have panics. They
control them there SO that they harm
no one. We IAN do it here. Why not?
The problem is simple enough II
the people would only grasp the idea
and want to know more. Then, when
they understood how the matter
strikes home-home to the family
exchequer and livelihood they
would rise up and demand that con-
gress give them a reform law at
once.
Our banks have no way of cooper
alton. That is the main defect. In ev-
cry other country they have a system
of banking cooperation. We ave nc
banking system, only a series OF
banks. Individually they are sound,
splendid institutions, of great ser,
vice ordinarily to their communities.
They offer the greatest of security to
their depositors. They are in init
mate touch with local affairs and
they foster business at home. But
when trouble comes, instead Of being
allowed to join hands all over the
country and present a great bulwark
of defense, every bank is forced =
turn against it's customers and
wreck them. What a stupendous err
ror. How inexcusable it is! And how
disastrous to all!
