And they will so refuse in the belief that all other party issues fade into insigniti- ennee in comparison with the issue as it has been formulated at Chicago. D a n g e r to L ib e r ty . Calveston News: The fart is that the programme formulated at Chicago mere ly marks the skirmish line of a great and hnal battle for soeial revolution, indus trial reeimsl ruction, and constitutional subversion. Without consitutional safe- guards tlu-ro can he no assurance of eitli- er free government or individual liberty. An unchecked social D«»mocracv means no law hut the law of brute force, no rule and no order but the rule and order of irresponsible tyrannv. Intelligent citizens grounded in wholesome appre ciation of the constitutional essentials of a stable republic, who supremely cherish the priceless interests of consti tutional liberty and security, who feel that there can he no true progress with out the conservation of these interests, will not fail to see in present emerg«»n- ci«»s where their common danger lies. Realizing also that the problem of de fense is their common concern, they can well understand that how they may best proceed to combat, defeat and disarm their common enemy is a question of momentary expediency to be decided in the light of current eveuts and modify ing circumstances. S o u th D a k o t a V iew s. ifl the real situation in Rockford? Th i number of bankers in that city is, . J * - 1 gether, thirteen, and the total amour« o f capital which these thirteen banker» havo is $375,000. The total amount of de posits in their banks is $3,400.000. that these thirteen bankers, with a total paying capacity of but $375.000, are entrusted with $3,400.000 of other pee- ‘ pie’s money with i which to do buaine _ in any in7 manner they choose. Upon it» face, it would seem that any number o f men who have a total paying capacity o f but $375,000 must be of great in fnt« grity, uprightness and reliability to be entrust ed by the very people with whom they lire and do business with whom ther their paying capacity, or $3,400,000. Who are the people who have entrusted thi9 thirteen with so large a sum of money, so much in excess of their pay ing capacity? They number 9,500 in that city of a total population of 30,000. In this case, therefore, who i n the debtors? They are undoubtedly the bankers. Th«»se thirteen men owe the»e 9,500 depositors $3,400,000. Now, if all that has been said about the rapacity of the creditor class be true, think of the situation in which these de positors have these poor bankers. If all that has been sai«i about the poverty, th«* wretchedness and the enslaved con dition of the debtor class be true, think of the miserable plight of these poor bankers.
