Whether a bank may be liquidated
in any other way than that provided by
law will be a question put up to At.
torney General Hogan as the result Of
the closing of the Mechanics Saving
bank of Toledo, which was closed May
8 because of a shortage of it's cashier.
A committee of depositcrs called on
Gov. Harmon and complained that the
state bank examiner is taking too long
to adjust the banks affairs. The ex.
aminers answer is that the bank will
be able to pay all depositords in full,
but that the statute requires 80 days
to elapse before the assets can be
fully liquidated and distribution made.
Depositors are not disposed to wait
two months more, and the officials will
try to find new way to hasten the
process if Mr.. Hogan says it may be
done.

T. R. LAUNCHES PARTY
WILL ASK SUPPORT OF MEN OF
ALL FAITHS.
Progressive Party Leaders Are
Watching Baltimore Doings and
Look for Possible Detection.

Chicago, June 24-In grim con-
clave, the Roosevelt forces, here last
evening, laid the props for the third
party that is to battle in the presi-
dental campaign with the Colonel at
it's head.
The progressive party, to be formed
Of Republicans and Democrats alike,
was started on it's way with every
indication of formidable lineup.
Out of the conferences that lasted
all day in Roosevelt's quarters at the
Congress came the conviction that the
progressive party is in the field to
stay through the campaign. No freak
ish whim controls the sternly serious
men who have aligned themselves
with the ex-president. Roosevelt
sounded the sentiment of his leaders
before he determined to break away
from the Republican party. They as
sured him in a way that carried con-
viction that they would stick to the
light to the finish.
Not Republican soreheads.
Roosevelt impressed the point on
his leaders that the party is not one
to be composed of Republican sore
heads. He is in the field to wage a
progressive fight.
The ex-president assured his back
ers that the new party has distinct
fight of it's own. He alluded to the
situation in the Democratic party and
impressed upon his leaders that the
progressive party may expect strong
alignment from the Democratic ranks
If the Baltimore convention fails to
respond to the progressive call of the
country.
If the Democratic convention NOM
mates reactionary, Roosevelt antici-
pates that the progressive Democrats
will flock to him. While he is not
banking on what may come out of
Baltimore, he is alert to the keen ad-
vantage he would derive if the Demo
Gratis fail to put up d progressive to
run against Taft.
" "dteiSC FNudiESs
Roosevelt is promised the support
of many influentia6 progressive Demo
crats-so it was said-if the Balti-
more convention picks a retrogressive
for its candidate. He is looking with
anxious anticipation, therefore, to
what the Democrats do.
The Roosevelt campaign is to be
managed by Governor Johnson of
California. That was definitely de-
cided last night. Besides the COVER
nor, whose strength in the far west
was the impelling motive for putting
him at the helm, will be seven other
progressives. Among them will be
Francis J. Heney, the San Francisco
reformer, and Judge Ben Lindsay,
Democrat, of Denver. Governor
Stubbs of Kansas, who has plunged
into the new party with a whoop, will
be another to help guide the new
party ship.
While the remainder Of the govern
ing council has not been picked, it is
tipped that Governor Glasscock of
West Virginia; Senator Cummins Of
Iowa, and Governor Bass of New
Hampshire will be in the list.
''The new party" said Colonel
Roosevelt, in talking of it, "is intend
ed to take distinct place in the af-
fairs of the country. l do not want
it a party for progressive Republicans
alone. 1t must take in all men who
feel that the progressive principles
are to be carried out"

A Corn Scrap

!. X. Parkhurst was in from ne-r
Sweet Springs Monday and made
us an agreeable call. He said
they've been having an interesting
time in his town. Some time ago,
he said, the mill and corn buyers
offered the farmers only 30c a
bushel for corn. Believing that 1t
would hurt the town and business,
Charlie Smith got busy AMI as re
suit the Henley Grain Co. was soon
buying many loads at iQc and then
the mill went to offering 49, whi h
was the price being paid Monday.
Mr.. Parkhurst says Mr.. Smith has
come to the farmers rescue in the
same manner on several occasions
such as the lumber prices, the ce-
ment prices, etc, and sa 8 "ow tbt [
he can buy anything from needle
to an auto from his stores, he'sgo-
ing to stay with him. There is no
doubt about Mr.. Smt this usefulness
to his little city, although many
are hostile to him, AMI we trust
he will get proper credit for his
enterprise.
