MUCH IN EARNEST Mr. Bryan has shown that he is very much in earnest in his advocacy of a law guaranteeing bank deposits against loss. In addition to the arguments that he has heretofore used, his paper, The Commoner, makes the following suggestions: The United States government requires a deposit of specific security when it deposits money in a national bank; th ? state also requires security as a rule, and the county and city deposits are secured either by bonds or by the deposit of specific securites. j Now the question arises, jf the United States government which can at any time inspect a bank and find out just what it is doing and how its business is being conducted, requires security for its deposits, why should not security be given to the depositor who cannot examine for himself and does not know anything about the bank’s solvency or methods? And loss to the national government, to the state, to the county or to the city would be borne by all the people and thus be small upon each one. while the

loss to the individual has to be borne , entirely by himself and may wipe out ' his entire savings. Is not the argument stronger in favor of the protection of depositors than it is in favor of the protection of the nation, the state, > the county or the city? J But the case is even stronger when ’ the bank is required to put up specific , security for the protection of national, - state, county or city deposits. Its giltedged securities are thus hypothecate . 'ed and the inferior securites are left ’ for the security of the depositors, so , that aa a matter of fact the public deposits are not only protected, but they are protected at the expense of the in--1 dividual depositors. What shall we say of a national bank which willingly gives the government specific security and then opposes the protection of depositors? And. strange to say, these big banks that get the big deposits from the government upon specific security are the very ones that have fought and are fighting the system for the guaranty of depositors. It is time that the depositors understood the situation and got together for their own protection, Will any banker who is opposing the guaranty system answer this argument and explain why It is right to protect government deposits and wrong to protect individual deposits? SHOULD TALK PLAINLY Hon. W. L. Taylor, of Indianapolis, an anti-machine candidate for the gub ernatorial nomination delivered a short talk that was full of meat. He said in opening: “We will win this fall,” to which he added, “I think,” but he admitted that Indiana republicans have the hardest fight of their lives , before them —the hardest for sixteen

s years. He admitted further that the t republican party in every district in k Indiana was experiencing an inward . turmoil and were rent asunder by sacs tional disturbances and quarrels and . discordant notes. He made a plea for the party to get together. Early in his j short speech he said that I we are c all one family and should talk plainly to each other.” In this connection he . took a gloomy view of the situation , and said there were in Indiana 40,000 t working men out of employment toi day. A few minutes later he raised - this number to 50,000 and had he spok- ,- en for an hour or so he would probably - kept on increasing the army of unem > plcyed in Indiana until he reached the r 150,000 mark —about where it belongs. ■ But a 50,000 admission from a repub- . licau isn't bad. —Portland Sun. WILL NOT PROSECUTE. Terre Haute Mayor Says They Are Blue Laws. Terre Haute. Ind., March 11. —The Ministers’ association today considered a long reply from Mayor Lyons in response to their request that he nnforce the law against Sunday theaters. The mayor said that the law against theatrical performances was a “blue law,” and that he would not enforce "blue laws.” The mayor the same views with reference to Sunday base ball, to which the ministers made no reference, and cited the fact that he was enforcing the Sunday and 11 o'clock closing lay. The Ministers’ association has been credited with a purpose to file affidavits against theaters, but the ministers say they have no such purpose. They will send a committee to talk with the mayor to proceed solely on the theory that an officer sworn to enforce the law should be compelled to do so. If the mayor persists in refusing it is not unlikely that impeachment proceedings will be filed in the city council, or else like proceedings will be placed on I record in the circuit court. o R. Graham left at noon for Fort Wayne to transact business. Mrs. H. C. Stetler was at Willshire attending a funeral this afternoon. Mrs. Elizbeth Richmond and daughter, of Fort Wayne, arrived to visit friends at Bobo, Ind. Oscar Shady, of Monroe, passed through the city enroute to Cralgville to visit his grandfather for a short time. THE PICTORIUM TONIGHT First Reel —The Bandit. Second Reel —The Need of Gold. SONG.

Nature has a remedy for catarrh, a 1 treatment that is far better than dos. ing the stomach with medicine and : drugs. It is the healing oils and balsams of Hyomel which medicate the air yon breathe, reaching the most remote air . cells in the nose, throat and lungs, killing all catarrhal germs and restoring health to the mucous membrane. The use of Hyomei is like a curative internal air bath, and has the same healing and antiseptic effect as the air where the pine forests give off their fragrant and healing balsams. Breathe the invigorating and healing Hyomel and see how quickly you will get relief from catarrh. If it does not help you there will not be a penny's expense as Holthouse Drug Co. agree to refund the money if it fails to cure. The complete Hyomel outfit costs only SI.OO. o SURPRISED HIM. F. A.
