OUR LOCAL BANKS.

In view of the widespread misfortune
entailed in Natchez and its vicinity by the
failure of the First Natchez Bank, in
which misfortune many of our Tensas
people have unfortunately shared, it is a
cause of congratulation that our local
banks deserve and possess the confidence
Of the communities in which they do
business. These banks are owned and
differed by our own people, men of APP
proved business qualifications and high
integrity. Their business is conducted on
conservative and safe lines, and while
always endeavoring TO serve the interests
of the communities they serve and to af-
ford adequate accommodations to those
who are worthy OF them, there is no Wild
cat business sought or done by them.

MADISON PARISH is TICK FREE.

A report from Washington, d. c., bring
the news that the after the lst of Novem-
Der 1913, the parish of Madison, Louisi'
ana, will be released from U. $. Govern
quarantine, which means that Madison
is tick free and will have an outlet for her
cattle whenever she is ready and where
ever she cares toship them without any
restrictions from the Federal authorities.
Madison started to work to clear herself
of cattle ticks Just after the overflow Of
1912, and with systematic cooperative
endeavor has accomplished what she set
herself to do. In'this she received assist
ance from the Federal authorities and
the State. But it was her owa initiative,
that obtained for her the help mentioned
In other words she secured the help mem
toned by first helping herself by expend-
ing money in dipping watts, employing in
spectors, etc. Madison is now clear Of
ticks and in the Tree area of the country,
and is the first parish in Louisiana to be
in this enviabIe position.
What does it mean to the people Of
Madison? Itmeans that they can 60 right
10 work and buy animals of improved
breeding to improve their cattle, and
without any risk or danger Of the import
ed stock dying from Texas fever, be-
cause the fever carrying ticks have been
exterminated. Ii means that Their cat
tie will improve in condition more rapid
ly when free from the depicting influence
of those blood sucking parasites. 1t means
to go right along in the
production of the best class Of beef and
dairy cattle. 1t means increased values
to their parish, and it means that the
cattle growers of Madison can coEsign
them to the best markets of the North
and West. -Picayune.

THE ELECTION.

Much interest naturally centereC
on the result of the elections of las
Tuesday for it was the first Oh
portunity given to test the feeIing
OF the people as to what the admin.
istration of President Wilson has al.
ready done and what it promises &c
do in the future.
The result can only be con-
strued as an unqualified endorse
ment Of the administration and its
policies. In the great states of Mas
sachusetts, New Jersey and Mary
land the Democrats won by hand
some majorities and while the legis-
lature was lost TO them in New York
that result is certainly attributable
to the revolt against Tammany
which was so great as to overcome
every other issue presented to the
voters.
The fact that the Democratic can
didates for Governor in the two great
manufacturing states of Massachu-
sets and New Jersey were elected by
large plurslities over both their Re
publican and Progressive opponents
is very significant in view of the fact
that the campaigns in both states
were fought out on national lines,
and the Democratic victory, there
fore, indicates that the predictions
OF ruin to the manufacturing inter
ests as the result of the passage of
the Underwood tariff law, were
merely Republican campaign talk
and that the voters of those states
take no stock in it.
Probably the most interesting
feature of the elections was the over
whelming defeat of Tammany by
the fusion ticket headed by John
Pomeroy Mitchell. Never in its his
tory has that historic organization
met with such rebuke at the polls
and the cause of this defeat is made |
plain when it is remembered that
William Sulzer, the impeached and
and discredited former chief magis-
trate OF the Empire State, was elected
a member of the Assembly in New
York City by a large majority, DEM
onstrating the purpose of the people |
to register in an unmistakable way |
their disapproval of Tammany and |
Its methods.
On the whole, friends of good gov
eminent, throughout the country,
have reason to felicitate themselves
on Tuesdays lessons. The Progress
sive Party showed up very badly
casting a much smaller vote than
that given for it last year. The
breach between that party and the
old Republican organization is ap-
parently as widefas ever with little
prospect of being healed the trend
OF thought in the country is I'M
doubtedly towards the Democratic
party and its policies and the wise
and vIrile statesman now the in
cumbent Of the White House has
been given fresh credentials by the
people TO 60 on with the good work
already 50 auspiciously begun.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

The Constitutional Convention
which will make new constitution
for Louisiana will meet at Baton
Rouge next Monday. The conven.
ton will be presided over by Chic
Justice Breaux until it selects d
President and it ia certain that that
honor viii fall to former Governor
Blanchard.
While new constitution will he
made, the convention is required by
the law calling it into existence to
make no changes in the present
organic law except as to provisions
for refunding the present state debt
and legislation in regard to the New
Orleans Water and Sewerage Board.
a purely local matter For these
reasons very little interest is being.
taken in the convention which will
accomplish its work IN a
short time.

the GUARANTEE OF BANK DEPOSITS.

The failure of the First Natche;
Bank, with all the harls hips and
losses which such failures entail.
naturally brings up the old question
OF some method by which the de-
positors in banks shall be absolute
ly protected.
Mr.. William J. Bryan's plan
which has been adopted in Okla
homa, for a government guarantee
OF deposits, based on a small tax
on banks, has much to be said in its
favor and the only objection urged
against it is that conservative and
well managed banks are required in
measure TO pay for the short COM
lngs OF their fellows. This objection
would apply with great force to most
kinds OF business, but it must be
remembered that the banking bust
ness is, from its very nature. a pub
lie business and therefore subject to
public regulation and it is, to saw
the least, doubtful if the safety Qaur.
anteed to depositors by the Bryan
plan does not overbalance the OBJ
jections to it,.
The spectacle of widows and orph-
ans left penniless, to say nothing of
the loss to others of the savings Of a
life time, certainly appeals to the
average man as iustifying almost
any kind OF legislation which would,l
remedy the possibility of such dis
tressing conditions.
