One of the Tribune's bright young men and The Tri
bune lias several was evidently the victim of a practical
joker Sunday, who palmed himself off in an interview
as W. U. Hearst, w hose coming has been heralded. It took
the Mail two days and the source of all its news, the Port
land papers, to discover the break and then the hoax of
an enterprising reporter, ambitious to score a good news
story, is played up in a three-column scare head type as
the big news story of the day, and it is about .13 near either
truth, enterprise or news as the Morning Scrapbook can
get.
It was a good joke, and well carried out. The reporter
boarded the train, after being informed by the conductor
which car contained Messrs. Hearst and Hisgen. "Mr.
Hearst," sonic tall, callow blond traveler, resembling the
yellow journalist, admitted his identity, introduced "Mr
Hisgen," talked politics and accepted a basket of fruit
What he said was published Monday. The Tribune en
joys a joke, even at its own expense, but objects when it is
the victim of a harmless hoax to being classed as an in
tentional deceiver.
Only those make no mistakes who never trv to do any
thingand their existence is a mistake. For this reason
there is no likelihood of any of the Mail's force being sim
ilarly hoaxed. They have 110 enterprise except for reprint
This is the policy of the Mail save when it attempts to
hooni certain laud values by fake reports of the discovery
ot oil.

MAKE DEPOSITS SAFE.
If a person trusts his savings to another, he should
have some guarantee that the nionev is safe. This guar
antee is provided in the bank guarantee plank in the dem
ocrat ie platform.
Bankers have long been the recipients of special favor
able legislation, and it is time the great depositing public
was the recipient of some of this special legislation also,
especially when the proposed law is really beneficial to
banks in that it prevents runs and financial panics.
It is hard to understand the attitude of some bankers
in opposing this guarantee law. It is on a par with the
railroads opposing the rebate law. which really was ben
eficial. Railroads have fought every law designed to help
them and the public, and u must be under some such mis
taken idea that banks are fighting the guarantee law.
The haiik guaranty law has proven a success in Okla
homa as shown by the following from a certificate issued
by the Oklahoma state banking board:
"The depositors' guaranty law was passed Dtveinlnr
17, ls07. and was made operative February 14, 1)0S.
"There are now ool banks under the law in this state,
including ,"4 national banks. There are 25" unsecured
Kinks (all nationals) in the state.
"From IVsvmM- 3. 1W7. to February 14. IMS. the
deposits in the unsecured banks decreased about an even
half million. The secured national Kinks for the same
loriod gained in deposits about scV.tXVi. State kinks
(.all socmvdl for the peri.vl from lWmlor 11. 1W. to
February 14. lsHS. show an in. rease in deposits of s?7U
740.47. "For the period ending May 14. secured national Kinks
show an increase in depots of o4.4i:'!.t;i. State banks
(all secured) for the jvriol ending Mav 14. show an in
crease in depots of v:r.v;0-14. The unsecured Kuiks
tall nationals' last in deposits ?kW.S07.8;.
"IVpo-us of stale funds show a dooroase in Mb classes
01 ivnr.Ks as follows: In xvr.ns, Kinks, $2l,5KUO
sevured Ivniks. ?MU!M!.7t".
"Total increase in debits in all secured Kinks,
ewntvr to May, jvr rvjvirts. .V2;7.7tv22.
"Total decrease of debits in all unsevuivl Kinks. IV-o-oniher
to May. vr tvprts. sl.WO.SP'.Sfv
"Total decrease of debits of state funds in both
lasses of Kinks last jvriod. S-SM.l-vVJo.
So it is apparent that there are So.Sl41'c.? more in
dividual deposits in Kinks in Oklahoma than Wtoiv the
depositors guaranty law was passed, and the secured
Kinks have Kvn Ivneficiaries."

WASHINGTON', Off. 14, Prof. Irv
iitg Fislirr the cmintMit it icul ccon
oiiiint of Yule university, who in one of
his mwr before the recent Internation
al Tuliemilosis conrem in Washington
Jeclnretl that consuniiit ion cost the pro-
tile uf the Unit ed States more than a
billion ilollnrs a your, is preparing an
xhnnstive report for the Ntitior.nl Con
servntlon rontniiHsion, whieh will cou-
tnin not only these figures but similar
lata on the economic loss to the country
from all other preventable diseases.
The commission from the beginning
has contemplated rejHirts on the econo
mic aspects of sevenil phases of the
conservation movement which affect
the duration and effectiveness of hu
man iife, but Prof, r'ishcr has under
taken to prepare a comprehensive state
ment of the whole subject of the rela
tions of public health to the general
field of coservation, and especially as
to the waste from preventable diseases
and unnecessary deaths.
Typhoid and Water Supply
This subject of the economic value
to the country of a general raising of
the average health came up iu the. gov
ernnor's conference at the White House
in Mny. Dr. (leorgo M. Kober in his
sHvch on the "Conservation of Life
and Health by Improved Water Supply'
which showed thnt the decrease in the
"vital assets" of the country through
typhoid fever iu a single year is more
than loO.OOO.illMi. Typhoid is spread
by polluted water largely so that the
death rate from this disease can be
city drinking water. Dr. Kober quoted
statistics to show that the increased
value of the water to the city of Al
bany, where the typhoid fever rate was
reduced from 104 in 100,00 to ill by an
efficient filtration plant, amounts to
47S.M a year, of which M0.000 may
be eonsid. ml a real increase to the
vital assets of the city. Census bureau
figures show that the average annual
-loath rate from typhoid in cities with
contaminated wnter supplies was re
lucisl from C0.4 per 100,000 to 1!. by
the substitution of pure supplies.

Cllll'AOO, Oct. H- Detectives are
working today in the negro section of
the city seeking caches of rifles that
have been secret.il by the blacks iu an
ticipation of race riols. The suspicion
of the police was nruusid by the dis
eovery that negroes have bought .100
old Springfield riflea discarded by the
army. Further sales will take place
and det.etives have been detailed to
cpicstion purchasers. One negro is quot
ed aa saying that the denizens of the
"black belt" have taken the advice of
their preachers and are arming for self
protection. He usserted that the ne
groes were not looking for trouble, but
that I hey did not wish to be cuiight un
prepared, as were the negroes of Springfield.
