with Col. Keller, district United States

jackson, Miss, April Ex-Governor
was here yesterday after his first lap
of his promised journey from Yellow
Rabbit to Vinegar Bend Though he
had spent an arduous week, making
! five speeches and travelling several
hundred miles the Governor was in
fine spirits and visitors at the execu-
tive offices commented on the fact
that he appears to be in the best of
health, full of vim, vigor and virility
and thoroughly capable of carrying on
the speech-making campaign on which
he Is engaged.
During the last session Of the Mis-
sissippi legislature the Governor once
told certain office holders that they
might "get by" with certain things
but he would carry the story of their
doings from Dan to Bersheeba, pro-
claim it so plainly that he who ran
might read and understand as clearly
as did Daniel the handwrighting on
the wall at Belshazzar's feast. I'll
tell it from Yellow Rabbit to Vinegar
Bend" said the Governor, and by that
saying he put the heretafore modest
yellow Rabbit" on the map.
He said, II am proud to say that
wherever l went the people told me
that they were tired of the TRADE of
yillification and abuse heaped on me
and the administration by certain men
trying to ride into office by c.tusing
ma and that a perfect tide of public
opinion has TUNED against them.
People have come to thu concln-
sion that when candidates go about
the state abusing and cursing the gov
ernor, expecting to curry popular fa-
vor thereby, they are short on N crit
themselves
Every place I went l was informed
they were losing rapidly and people
told me they were endorsing the adj
and standing with me in
in the fight.
People told me that for 20 years
no man has been permitted to serve
this state as governor without being
abused like a pickpocket, and that
they are tired Of it and don't intend
to support any man for office who
runs upon that platform.

In Honor of Miss Ruth Neel.

In Honor of Miss Ruth Neel.
Although the marriage of Miss Ruth
Neel and Mr.. Carpenter is to be a
very quiet event the friends of the
bride have been anxious to show their
love for her and number have COM
plimented her in various pleasing
ways. Prominent among these was
the reception and shower rendered her
Tuesday afternoon by the w. M. U. of
First Baptist church at the home of
Mrs. R. B. Stapleton.
The home lent itself ideally to the
plan of decoration, being bower of
woodland beauty. Branches of dog
wood covered the walls and great
bowls of fragrant wild azalea were
placed at every vantage point. Many
potted ferns were also used.
Mrs. Earl Conner, Mrs. John D. Eat
man, Miss Marie Dixon, Mrs. Henry
Breland and Miss Hattie Pearl Lang
ford received the guests at the en-
trance and conducted them to where
Misses Coleman, Mabel Nixon, Mary
Neel and Lily Tate served punch from
the big bowl embedded in azalea bios
sons In the parlor Miss Emily
Clemens, Miss Louise Walters and
Miss Mittie Terrell were receiving
with the honoree, who wore a charm
ing frock of chiffon over blue, with
touches of rose pink. Her flowers
were white carnations, while the other
girls wore roses.
A musical program afforded much
pleasure Miss Katherine Selby, vio-
linist, Misses Lucy Hall Pack and Lucy
Garner, pianists, and Mrs. Ferdinand
Gilpin, Jr., soprano, favoring the occa-
sion. Later a huge flower decked
hamper, piled high with lovely articles
of lingerie and household linen, was
carried and deposited at the brides
feet by two dainty little girls, Mary
Elizabeth Polk and Louise Robertson
The affair, which may well be noted
as one of the weeks very delightful
events and a distinct compliment to
Miss Neel was participated in by over
a hundred of her friends.

BANKERS ATTITUDE
A LEADING FACTOR
Continued from Page One. !

contributed to the campaign fund of
the Republican congressional commit
tee last fall.
Mr.. Glover contributed $1,000, &C
cording to the published records OF
mittee, and as the committee was very
much in need of funds the $1,000 gift,
relatively speaking, amounted to more
than some much larger contributions
in other campaigns. Mr.. Glover was
one of the few bankers who was viii
ling to openly record himself against
the administration.
Politicians observed that in the cam.
paign of 1896, when Mckinley was
elected, the fight against William Jen-
nings Bryan in many towns and cities
revolved about the banking interests
which were earnestly opposed to Mr.
Bryan's free silver theories.
Persons who have had experience in
political campaigns have found that
the directors of the national banks
throughout the country contribute in
themselves the most important factor
in a national political contest. They
not only contribute freely to the cam
paign funds but on account of their
numerous connections with industries
and commercial enterprises in their
several communities they are able to
influence many thousands of votes. Els
pecially is this true in the small cities
and towns While many persons be-
lieve that the Wall street banks ex-
ercise a large influence in politics, the
political managers say that they do
not exercise nearly as potential an in
fluence as the bank directors in the
small communities, all of whom are as
rule men of Importance in those
communities.
With this in mind, the politicians
are asking: what is the administra-
ton going to do about it? Reports re-
ceived here are to the effect that
many of these bankers secretly sym
pathize with the Riggs Bank in the
present controversy. In this respect
the situation is just bit analogous
to that in which Andrew Jackson
found himself when he crossed swords
with the Second Bank of the United
States four score years ago. The in
fiuence of the banking community
even in those days was exerted in a
manner to make for a bitter contro-
versy that disturbed the country for
years.
Owing to the campaign fund public
ity laws the banks can hardly throw
their support openly against the ad.
ministration as they might have done
decade ago by freely contributing to
the political sources fighting 1t, but
there are many ways they can secretly
WELD influence. If the Riggs Bank
litigation results unfavorably to the
administration or even the bankers
are dissatisfied, the Democratic cam
paign managers may find it difficult
to obtain any assistance from bankers
at all.
In 1912, the bankers influence was
divided between Messrs. Roosevelt,
Taft and Wilson, so that it did not
count much as campaign factor.
Hence the interest in the attitude the
bankers are to assume in 1915, espe-
cially if they cast all,or nearly all of
their power against the administra.
ton.

Des Moines, March 8.-A very I'M

form in state business management

creates a estate board of audit to
consist of the auditor Of state the at
torney general or one of his author
lied assistants and the secretary OF
the executive council or his first assist
ant. who shall also be secretary OF the
board The essential feature Of the
bill is this:

the state treasury, for expenses incur

TAXP PAYERS MAY
ESCAPE PENALTY
ONE PER CENT PER MONTH WILL
BE ADDED TO AMOUNT
AFTER APRIL 1.

All taxpayers who wish to escape
any penalty to their assessments must
settle their accounts before April I,
1915, for the first half Of the taxes for
1914.
This is the advice that County
Treasurer G. o. Warren is handing out
to his customers. There have been a
great many who have called at his Of
flee in the court house during the past
week and the next three will probably
see larger crowds but as an induce
ment to get everyone off the list, If pos
sible, the county official and his assist
ants are doubly anxious to have them
take advantage of thus escaping the
penalty by getting their assessments
paid by March 81.
Under sections 1903 and 1413 Of the
code Of Iowa, taxes become delinquent
March /. The whole or first half of
these may be paid before April 1 with
out penalty and in case the first half
is paid before April /, then the second
half may run to the close of business
September 80, without penalty. II
the levies, for the first half, are not
paid by April 1, then the penalty Of
one per cent per month Is due. The
state officers have informed the coun-
ty treasurer that these laws must be
adhered to absolutely, therefor Mr..
Warren is making special effort to
give everyone chance to escape the
penalty by paying before April I.

The board of audit is required to del

are fully and clearly authorized bya
law, that the authority for the expens
has been fully exercised, that all Leg
requirements have been conformed toE
that the claim is in proper form and
verified and that the charges are rea-

board will have no authority for Gre
alton of a bill against the state. It
shall adopt and formulate rules and

The bill will probably be followaA
by others suggesting practical reforms
in state business methods, along the
line which it was supposed the COM
mittee on retrenchment and reform
was directed to follow two years ago
instead Of undertaking to revolution

The fact is that the work of the gov

executive council has become burdens
some and the mere clerical task of
passing on bills and claims is some4
thing that might much better be rel
