of hearing the Honorable Alton
B. Parker, democratic nominee
for president in 1904; deliver his
views on the issues of thc day.
Io advocates the repeal of the
tariff, publicity of campaign contributions,-
application of the
anti-trust law, establishment of
government savings banks, and
some other things. He wants
Bryan elected, and tho trusts
"busted". In view of the fact
that Judge Parker is receiving
$50,000 a year as a corporation
attorney we cannot see how he
can consistently work to put him
self out of a job.
Guaranteeing Bank Deposits.
Postmaster-General Meyer en-!
dcavors to advance reasons
against the guarantee of bank
deposits on the ground that it
would lead the dishonest banker
into juggling with public confi
dence, securing enormous de
posits by offering 0 per cent oni
time certificates, and then abl
sconding with the cash. A ten
year old schoolboy with a nori
mally developed brcin would not '
advance such ail argument. The
demand of depositors that they
shall bo able to get their money
from the banks is as just as the
demand of tho bankers that they
shall get the money, or its equiv
ilant, loaned out on securities.
The banker demands that his
money shall be protected by real
property; the depositor should de
mand that his money in the bank
shall be protected by a guaran
tee fund, the creation of which
will not work a hardship upon
any bank.
Mr, Meyer says:
"The guaranteeing of deposits
by all National banks would
mean nothing less than that the
conservative and honestly man
aged banks would have to pay
the debts of bank3 which have
been badly and dishonestly man
aged. Under this system there1
would be nothing to prevent a
not over-scrupulou3 banking ofii-
ceriri the competition of securing
deposits by going tot depositors
and offering them six per cent
for their deposit?; ckii'minj that
they had no risks) as deposits
are , giidrantpedl The bank; in
turn, would have, to make invest
ments which would involve great
risks in order to make any
money, , .
"If successful this would tend
to increase speculation, which is !
ono of the evils of the present
day, with the wild cat schemes
and high finance that have been
so much in evidence the past
year."
Mr. Meyer proposes no reme
dy for the protection of the
wage earner againt these "not
over-scrupulous" bank officials.
He is anxious, however, tq pro
tect "the honest banker" against
the wild catter. He says in sub
stance, let the depositor look out
for himself, but protect the
banker.
It is the people's money the
banks are using to do business
on. Why should not the bank
ers be willing to guarantee their
depositors the same protection
that they themselves demand?
Why does Mr. Meyer fear the
loss of the banker while he says
nothing concerning tho loss of
the depositor?
A few huudrcd years ago our
forefathers believed in the di
vine right of kings. They did
not dream that they themselves
had any rights, but with advanc
ed thought and intelligence andJ
an awakening public conscience,
men are learning that one man
or set of men have no more rights
than another. This is the only
true republican doctrine, and
those who advocate any other
doctrine do not represent the
ideals of government bequeath
ed to us by the founders of the
Republic.

Mrs. Peter Cooper Haines, ha3
turned against her husband for
killing Editor Annis, whom
Haines accused of stealing Mrs.
Haines' affections. Any man
who has a wife whose" affections
can be "stolen" is a fool to kill
any man for "stealing" them;
If he is afraid someone will steal
his wife or her affections he
might adopt the plan of a man
we knew in Texas. He built a
high fence around his house, and
every time he went away and left
his wife at home he chained the'
front gate securely, locked it
with a padlock, and put the key in
his pocket. When he got back
home wify was there, and the iron
fence was so high that no one
could get oyer ifc without using
two ladders, which was not likely.
There are various ways of keep
ing a woman and her affections
from being stolen, and this was
one practical way that has come
under our observation, And we
believe it is better to use a chain
and a padlock than a gun.
