IT BRINGS THE MONEY.

South Dakota and Nebraska have
state laws which protect depositors
from loss Of the money they deposit in
state banks and the result of such a
law in each state has been to attract
deposits from outside Of the state to
such an extent as 10 give some bank
ers a problem in putting their funds TO

Inasmuch as the perpetual struggle
Of the banker is to build up his de-
posts it may be presumed that this

of banker Bringing capital to a
state where it must be put to work is
not a bad result from the standpoint

such laws as to make it desirable to
national banks as we'll as, the state

to guaranteeing deposits in every kind
of a bank at the expense of premiums
paid by sound bankers but an insur-
ance system would give the depositor
his guarantee while the insurance
company could have something to say
as to the kind of banking it would
insure.
More frequently auditing by certified
accountants, regular notification OF

Topics of the Times

How many Americans ought the mil
lion and a half rounds of American
ammunition secured by Villa to ac-

Hugh Fullerton has the best ana
funniest baseball story of the season

the current American magazine. Mr..
Fullerton certainly is batting 1000 in

Villa seems able to get money and

get them dead or alive.

AS TO "FRIEND HARDING.'
washington Democrat.l

We note that our friend w. l..
Harding gave out an intervew in
Cedar Rapids In which he predicted
overwhelming success for the repub-
lican ticket everywhere, this fall STILL,
we have an idea he would give a
nickel to feel sure that he knows what
he is talking about. And even if he
does win. it will cost more than it is
worth. We would not want the fight
on our hands. that is being made on him
by the preachers of Iowa for all the
office is worth in honor, glory and
position. You may ignore the preach
ers il you want to. You may say they
do not know what they are talking
about. You may say they ought to
keep out Of politics, and all that sort
Of thing, the fact remains that we all
defer to them, more or less. They
maintain the moral standard of our
political life: They may not be prac-
teal, but they do know what they
want and they do know about what is
right, and if we laugh at them. we yet
secretly know they are eternally right.
To say they are impractical dreamers
is merely begging the question.
