GERMANS AND THEIR EMPEROR.
[Council B,uffs NonpareiLl
Complaint is made by Germans in
this country that the German side OF
the present European controversy is
not being giecr IN the American news

Germany. as precautionary war

with the outside world There is no
d.spoeition on the part of the news
papers in general to be partial. News
papers are printing everything they
can obtain in the way of news from
he mort authentic sources available
II is Impossible however, to mini

ence of strong sentiment against wal

/ Nowhere in the world is there great
| er appreciation Of the worth of Ger
man character than in America. Mil
lions of our best people are German OF
descendants of German parents. Ger
man character is made of solid ant
ieubstantial elements. The typica
German is stable. reliable, honest, pro-
gressive, kindly. frugal, industrious
generous, loyal, patriotic, coura geous
There is warrant for the conviction
that Teutonic blood is the most val

today have an intense admiration TO
the people Of Germanic blood. Thei
criticism is not. therefore. directed to
ward the men of this blood. but raihe
toward the head of the German natiol
who would use all the intelligence

The present disturbance in the
world is chargeable TO the emperor of
Germany.' asserts the Des Moines Cap
ital. The Germans are great SOL
diers. At the present time, the Ger
man army is the best in the world.
That Is no reason why the German ma
ton should plunge the world into war
There isn't as much land selling N
this county this year as in some former
years, for the very good reason that
there is very little land here for sale.
The better our land gets the tighter do

dollars of bonds would be determined upon the basis of area, population, assessed valuation and road mileage.
 "Should the state issue it's bonds without the federal guarantee,' said Senator Maritime, Cit would have to pay about per cent interest, while l am confident that the government can obtain the money by placing it's guar antees on the bonds at from R to ? 3-4 per cent. On a billion dollars this difference in interest charges would be enormous"

Little Rock, June 23.-National Bank Examiner Smith, designated for that duty by the comptroller of the currency, is Investigating the affairs Of the State National bank, which closed it's doors last Saturday. No statement of the condition of it's af- fairs has been made public since the last report in March, and it is known that there has been a considerable change since that in its affairs, par- ticularly in the amount of it's de- posits. The closing of this bank has caused no excitement whatever. as many of the banks had been expecting it, and it has occasioned no partic- u!ar surprise among the people. who had suspected for some time that it was "shaky." Many interests have money tied up in the bank. among them the city of Little Rock. which has g balance of over $20.000 in its vaults. The bank was the deposit- ory of the city treasurer, Claude Ringo, but the city is amply protected
