CUAKAKTKKl) BANK DEPOSITS. ; It is not probable that Mr. Bryan's speech on the guaranty o( bank de posits will convert any one who has kelt different opinion, says an ex change. It may deepen the convic tion of those who believe that all de posits should be taxed to Insure their safety. In the course of bis argument, Mr. Bryan adduced -nothing new, except to cite the experience of Oklahoma for six months, at the and of a pe riod of financial strength. The cita tion to 'not very convincing, as it does not cover a long enough time. There Is nothing surprising in the transfer of funds from Kansas and Oklahoma to the "guaranteed" banks, between last December and May. The time was very favorable for such transfer and the Oklahoma banks made the most of the situa tion, and of the guarantee. In their extensive advertising. Their gains in deposits were not phenomenal un der the circumstances. ' ' Another year or two years may ahow a different condition. At auy rate, the example Is not of much value until it haa bad a much longer trial. Mr. Bryan says that two of the guaranteed banks failed, during the six months, without causing worry to the depositors. He also ays that both banks were liquidated without draft on the guarantee fund. Aside from the confidence of de positors who refused to worry, the Incident proves there was no cause for apprehension. The banks were solvent. The guarantee did not pre vent their failure, nor did it Increase their assets. We believe there is more popular demand for postal savings than for guaranteed deposits. We believe It will be so, at least until Oklahoma haa been operating Its plan for five years. NRG ROES TO CONTROB NEGROES It is not Improbable there la some foundation for the assertion of Rev. H. E. Stewart, a negro preacher or Chicago, that the speeches of Sen ator Tillman of South Carolina, made In Illinois, are responsible for the Springfield riots. Intemperate those lectures were, and with the riotous element Tillman would not be taken JuaC'for what he Is worth, a fluent and cranky blatherskite, though It Is aot probable his words were beard or read by a majority of the fellows who did the Springfield rioting, says an exchange. Mart more sensible oa the part of preacher Stewart Is his Initiation of Negro Law and Order league, wheae purpose Is to suppress the de graded and disorderly element among persons of bis own color. It Is his proposition to organise thia league throughout north and south, and that Its members shall supplement the laws In preventing and punishing the crime which has been responsible for many of the lynchlngs and racial out' breaks.

A year ago the emperor of China issued an edict promising his people a constitutional government, "like the foreign Bystem," at the end of ten years. Recently a new edict has been Issued telling them just bow far the government has advanced on the road to constitutionalism. It Is announced that the government will give out a bulletin each year, telling Just where the constitution Is, until It arrives. What will the Chinese nation, as it Is today, do with a constitutional government?' The very question Is enough to make the atudents of his tory shudder. How can a great, un wieldy, conglomerate mass of 400, 000.0)90 human beings, living In the centuries before Rome fell, be ex pected to govern themselves In the twentieth century? It Is like throw ing a boy Into a council of old men and asking him to hold his own among them. It is like giving ydn- amlte cartridges to children for play things. Even the advisers of this strange thing admit that the Chinese people will not be ready for It for ne years. What do nine years am ount to in the development of a race? It may be supposed that becaase the Japanese sprang from fetfdal lstn to a constitutional government within half a century the Culnese can do the same thing. Thia does not follow. The Japanese were al ways a restless, variable, clever peo ple with a wonderful gift of ftnlta- tlon and adaptation. Their feudal Isra was the syste mof centuries; but for a part of those centuries It bsd been kept together by force. When the light of civilisation first broke upon them they did not num ber more than 30,000.000 souls. The 10,000,000 added to them since have been born nader the aun of civilisation and are to some extent Its children. The whole of Jspan was begirt by the sea, and It waa easy for foreign notions, foreign In fluences, foreign education to flow Into It from all directions and to per meate the people In a little while. Civilisation conquered Japan swift ly as much because of her location and the east with which It could reach her people as It did because the Japanese mind was ready for Its Now Is the Time To pick that Fall Suit.

Cash. subjugation. What are the conditions In China? More than 400,000.000 people In habiting a land of greater extent than the L'nlted States, with moun tains higher than ours, rivers broad er and deeper, deserts stretching away Into almost endless space, and no means of traversing them. At least 300.000.000 of these people have never heard of a constitution; half as many more Co not know that a country exists outside of their own, and almost that number have never bad a thought of their own In their lives. Their forefathers thought for them; tbey follow In the footsteps of their ancestors, and praise their ugly, stone-bellied idols that they have ancestors to venerate. Tbey hsve never changed the!.- re ligion nor Invented a xw god In 3000 yeara. A people Thich .nnot do that Is almost beyond the Dale When in town come and see us.

A fire which swept through the business section of this town today, destroyed property valued In the neighborhood of three-quarters of a million dollars and rendered several thousand peo ple homeless and left the city with hardly enough provisions In the town to laat more than 24 hours. There Is great distress tonight. All grocery and supply houses were destroyed and the people are wandering about almleasly'wlthout shelter. The tire started at 9:30 this morn ing In Dr. Garner's office, in the drug company's building, a veritable fire- trap, and In less than two houra It bad swept over eight business blocks, destroying everything in Its path. All efforts of the tire department and 500 volunteers were as nothing. The fire swept right along and It was soon evident that something would have to be done or the whole town would be wiped out. It was then that dynamite waa brought into play, and by uaing a ton and a half of the exploalve the spread was checked. One of the first telegrams sent out from here after the fire was an or der for lumber for the construction of six buildings. The plana for the reconstruction of the town were un der way long before the full work of destruction was realized. TONOPAH, Nev., Sept. 4. As soon as word was received here of the disastrous fire at Rawhide meeting of citizens was called and in half an hour $3000 waa raised. Fif teen automobiles loaded with sup plies started for the scene over the Tonopah Goldfield railroad to Mi na, where the automobllea take a road 40 miles to Rawhide. RENO, Nev., Sept. 4. A relief train loaded with provisions and bed ding was dispatched to Rawblde this afternoon and will arrive there to night. The response to tbe appeal for assistance was immediate.

When we tell you that it is the Malleable man from South Bend who Is demonstrating his favorite range at the store of the Nicholson Hardware Co., you will understand. He haa grown enthusiastic over his favorite range and Is hsndling it pretty roughly, but he cannot hurt it, for it Is made of malleable, the unbreakable Iron. It Is also riveted together just like a boiler and Is just as strong and air tight. Its triple wall construction concentrates sll of the heat in the oven. This Is why ti delirious biscuits that are served yon free can be cooked In three min utes. You will also be served with a cup of rare coffee and receive a beautiful little cook book and useful souvenir free. You cannot afford to miss this treat. If you decide to throw out your old range and buy one of the un breakable malleables as made in South Bend, you will be astonished when you see what a beautiful pres ent you will receive In seml-po roe lain or cooking ware, as a reward for your wise decision.
