LITTLE BANK MAKES
GREAT STATEMENT,
considering SEASON
Farmers & Traders Bank Statement
Shows the Steady Growth Of this
Very Popular Institution-Sur-
plus Larger than Capital.

We call the special attention of our
readers to the statement of the Farm
ers & Traders Bank appearing else
where In this issue. This statement
will be quite interesting to those who
have watched this young banks rapid
prograss during the past few years.
1t will be seen that at the close of
business on November 18th this bank
had on deposit subject to check the
large sum of $765,94S.S3. This is a
very large deposit considering the
season of the year. Crops are just be-
ing harvested and that money does
not represent any of the farmers in
come for this year. 1t is therefore
considered most unusually healthy
condition for the bank. The total re-
sources amount to the very large sum
of $ss5.21e.O4.
One Of the most interesting features
Of the statement is that the surplus
fund is $4,000, much larger than the
capital stock of the institution which
amounts to $4,000. All state banks
whose surplus is greater than its cap
ital are placed on special list of 100
per cent. banks and this distinction
has been given the Farmers and Trad
ers for many months.
This healthy condition of this bank
at this season of the year certainly
speaks volumes for the efficiency Of
the officials and directors Of the in
stitutiOn.

OUT. TOWN FRIENDS
BUY TICKETS ON UNIFORMS
Cincinnati Boosters Wire Their Pur.
chase Of Tickets on Articles To Be
Given Away By Band Tonight.


The popularity of the Maysville
Boys Band in other cities is demon.
strated by the number of out-of-town
persons who are taking an interest in
the fund being raised with which to
purchase the members of the band
new summer uniforms for next Spring
and summer.
Besides the $4,000 donated by the
Lexington Boy Scouts which will be
used to purchase tickets for them, Col
onel ]. B. Russell has received tele-
gram from Manager Hawk, of the
Hotel Gibson, Cincinnati, which says
"Give us five dallors worth of chances
on chair. Mailing check" Another
telegram from Mr. L. A. Henrlci, OF
the American Sugar Refining Com
pany says: Reserve five dollars
worth of tickets for me-"
The Bands campaign during the
fair will be very profitable one and
they will raise neat fund for their
uniforms. This system was adopted
so that those who enjoy the bands
music and who cannot afford to con-
tribute regularly to the fund, could
have mart in purchasing the mi
forms.
The drawing is held tonight and the
ticket must be in the house If the
prizes are not claimed within thirty
minutes another drawing will be held
and there will be a drawing each 10
minutes thereafter until all the pre-
miums are claimed.

TEXAS G. O. P. TO THE FRONT

Difficult though the task may seem
to be, the Republicans of Texas have
undertaken to organize the party in
that state with a view to sending one
or more Republicans to Congress.
The first plank in the platform of
the new organization is a protective
tariff declaration, and it is said that
this plank will find more favor in
Texas than most northerners would
expect. The fact is that Texas pro-
ducers have long suffered from COM
petition with imports of cattle and
hides from Mexico and peanut and
rice from across the Pacific. Other
commodities mentioned as needing
protection in Texas are wool, grain,
food products, oil, lumber, cotton,
and manufactured goods of various
kinds. In recent years large num-
bers of northern people have gone
to Texas to live, engaging in oil pro-
duction, agriculture, and general
business. A large proportion of
these former residents of the north
are Republicans and their influence
will undoubtedly be felt in impress
ing upon the Democracy of the south
the need of a protective tariff policy

CANNOT RIDE TWO HORSES

The election next fall will be run
on party lines more than it ever was
before. There will be no favoritism
shown candidate because he is
good fellow or neighbor. The ques-
tion will be whether the person is
in the Townley camp or not. If the
voter thinks that Mr.. Townley and
his political advisers have run the
state to his satisfaction, we'll and
good, then he will vote for him.
But on the other hand if the candid
ate expects to run and receive votes
from the other side and then go to
Bismarck and vote as the Townley
caucus directs him he will be ,disap-
pointed. A person will not be able
to ride two horses in the next cam
paign. The lines are too well out
lined to do that. In former years it
made but little difference as to what
party the candidate belonged to when
it came to running the affairs of the
state, although it had a certain
amount of influence on the general
election. We have had Republican
and Democratic governors and the
change has been scarcely noticeable
The taxes were about the same. But
now every tax receipt handed out by
the county treasurer is direct re-
minder of mismanagement,and there
is no other way to look at it. We
have nothing to show for these en-
ormous increases in taxes except
ing the excuses of the leaders and
those who are hired by them to mis-
lead the public. Read your tax re-
ceipt and then consider what you
have received more than paying sal
aries of office seekers, and we think
that you will vote accordingly.

TREATY SIGNED

The treaty that closed the last
chapter on one of the bloodiest wars
on record was signed at Versailles,
France, the other day and Germany
is on a peace terms with her neigh
bcrs for the first time in five years.
The United States and China are the
only nations that are still at war
with Germany technically speaking
We were not represented at the con-
ference and Congress rejected the
terms that were accepted by Presi-
dent Wilson when he was personally
present at the conference last sum-
mer.
Had President Wilson done like
any prudent statesman would have
done when he sailed to France to
arrange the terms with the rest of
the nations there would have been
no trouble Had he invited states
men of both parties as he had a,
right to do the treaty would have
been so framed that the United
States Congess would have accepted
it to the letter. There were Demo-
Gratis and Republicans in Congress
who have made a life study of inter-
national questions. These men are
true and tried. But Mr.. Wilson
wanted all the glory alone appar-
emily. He did not consult anybody
but he went along ignoring every
body as if it was none of their busi-
ness. He forgot there was Con-
gress that had the final saying. He
forgot that the responsibility rested
upon the members of Congress fully
as much as it did on himself.
He placed himself in the same
position he occupied when he was
at the head of the Princeton Univer-
sity as it's guiding head.
Our congressional cords show
that in all cases of international i'm
portance in the past Congress was
made part of agreements. When
the war with Spain was decared
in 1898 President Mckinley sum-
moned Congress and the war was
declared or ratified by Congress.
That body was consulted and there
were only few of the members
who opposed the declaration. The
same was true when the terms Of
settlement with Spain was consid-
cred. There was not q friction any
where. Politically the House and
Senate were pretty evenly divided at
that time and there would have been
lots of chance for q disagreement.

REPUBLICANS HAVE ALREADY
SAVED THE PEOPLE MILLIONS

Seven great supply bills failed in
the closing days of the congress
that expired March 4. They were
talked to death. The country, how
ever, profted by the failure. The
Republican leader in the house, Rep
resentative Mondell, has given out a
statement showing that the bills
that failed carried appropriations
for 3,768 million dollars. AS soon
as the extra session convened con-
gress revised these seven bills and
passed them, carrying appropri-
ations of 1898 million dollars.
This was saving Of nearly 1 bill
lion dollars-as much as the whole
cost of the government used to be
before the war. If Mr.. Mondells
figures are correct the Republicans
have right to claim credit before
the country for an extraordinary
saving.
But the impressive thing about it
all is the disclosure of the extrava-
CANT way congress had been think
ing-so extravagant that billion
dollars more or less seemed of no
consequence to the men who were
in charge of the war expenditures.
We have got to get out of that
sort of mood before the govern
ment will finally put its expenses on
a reasonable basis.

The Cavalier Chronicle last week
claims that the state administration

The Cavalier Chronicle last week
claims that the state administration
is not responsible for the high taxes
this year. Great guns, why did
they not let the tax law remain as
it was in the first place then? We
have had those laws for years and
the taxes did not materially change
from year to year. As far as the
county, township and school districts
taxes are concerned the people did
not increase the levies any more than
they did in former years. And as
far as the townships in this county
are concerned they have spent no
more money in running the affairs
of the townships than they did in
former years. It is the way the
Townley political machine had of
raising the taxes to increase the
state levy that more than doubled
the taxes on the farmers this year
and there is no other explanation
to make.
