The Chicago Tribune, in a copy-, righted article, endeavors to ridicule Mr. Bryan because the guarantee bank deposit idea has been borrowed from China, having been in use there for a hundred years, and. why does Mr. Bryan want to exclude the Chinese and yet want to adopt their ways? Nd doubt the Chinese chew with their teeth and

did so centuriees before the United States of America had been dicovered or even thought of, but is that any reason for calling republicans fools because they do the same thing? Confucius, a Chinaman, thought of and promulgated the Golden Rule 500 years before Christ lived on earth, but is that a valid reason for discarding this wisest rule of human action, the basis of all morals? And what would our republican friends do without gunpowder, a substance with which they have won all their prowess and glory, such as it is? This also was invented by, and borrowed from the hated Chinese. But then our republican friends are in desperate straits, and straw is eagerly grabbed at.

HANLY’S ACTION AN ENIGMA.

Concerning Gov. Hanly's calling the legislature in special session, the Cincinnati Enquirer’s Indianapolis correspondent says, among other things: There are Republicans who believe that the calling of the extra session is a covert attempt to defeat the party nominees for state offices. These insist that the exigencies which the Governor, points out in respect to the lapsing of appropriations could have been met at any bank in this city for an Interest charge that would not cost the state one-half what the Legislature will spend. Years ago, when Governor Matthews had to meet the expense of sending troops into the coal fields to protect property, and there was no money on hand for that purpose, he borrowed $40,000 from the banks on the credit of the state, and a Republican Legislature paid the debt without even a sign or objection or criticism. Another motive imputed to the Governor is that he wants to make a play for popularity with the temperance element of" the state, upon whom he already has so strong a hold, and he hopes to carry through a local option law in advance of the election, thus insuring county unit plan regardless of the result at the polls. Of course, those who take this view see in the Governor’s action something beyond the mere desire for a local option law. That he wishes to go to the United States Senate is no secret, and his aim is believed to be to enlist the temperance forces on his side and make the race against Senator Hemenway if the Republicans have a majorltj' of the Legislature. Others affect to believe that he regards the state as already lost to the Republicans, and that he is laying his plans to stand for the Senate two years hence against Senator Beveridge. But to the majority of the Republicans he is an enigma that time alone can solve. He has many bitter enemies in his party, but in the main he has carried through nearly every thing he has proposed. When the state convention met he called leading delegates to his office and declared that he would take the stump against Senator Freemont Goodwine if he were nominated for Lieutenant Governor. The convention ignored the threat, and Republicans are still wondering if he proposes to oppose Goodwine on the stump. Such a step would be a political anomaly in Indiana, but some of those who best know the Governor, who understand how determined he is, would not be suprised to see him carry his threat into execution.

THEY NOW PROMISE TO DO BETTER.

Notwithstanding the fact that W. H. Taft has denounced the demand for guaranteed bank deposits, and notwithstanding all other republican spellbinders, in the east especially, are doing the same thing, the proposition is gaining ground every day; and to help the matters along two big national banks have been closed in the very midst of this opposition, within the last week. It would seem that these occurrences will only add fuel to the flames of this demand. Even the Comptroller of the Currency has been smoked out on this proposition. He is “going*' 1 to reorganize the national bank examining staff, of which he says, "The system we now have is about as bad as it can be" Well, why hasn't it been reformed long ago? What has this great “reform" governhfent been doing that IT Has allowed the depositors of national banks to be robbed by dishonest bankers all these years, because the system of examination is “as bad as it can be?” Everybody’ that cared to know, has known for years that national bank examinations were a farce, and the state bank examinations as well for that matter. And in the face of this knowledge, and th? further fact that there must be something done to check if possible, this demand for safety of private deposits—public deposits are now guaranteed—and the unpopularity of the republican stand on this question, this eleventh hour promise is made to endeavor to stem the tide swifty flowing toward Bryan and security for the small private depositor. Too many banks have failed immediately after they have been pronounced “O. K.” by exami-

ners to Inspire confidence In the system now in vogue by the government, and it is on this slipshod system that depositors must depend for the detection of rascals with whom they have entrusted their savings. Guaranteed bank deposits will Insure the detection of rascals in the banking business, for the reason that they are always known to their neighbor banker, and where his direct personal interest was Involved as it would be in this case, he would be in duty bound to himself and to his associates, even though he cared nothing for his depositors, to expose the rascal who was about to go into his own personal pocket and extract somexjf his money as well as that of the rascal’s depositors. Even with a rotten system of examination, If bankers were so mutually tied together in a common fund to protect their depositors, as they would be in this guarantee bank deposit system, they would their own Interests by weeding out “speculators,” “plungers” and other rascals generally in the banking business. And this would be done, and by the bankers themselves, too.

IF YOU WANT IT, VOTE FOR IT.

In one recent issue of the Indianapolis News there were communications from two Indiana bankers, both Re publicans, commending the Democratic position in favor of guaranteeing the bank deposits of the individual as well as of public officials. The same paper has printed other similar articles from other bankers and a large number from persons who are not bankers. The News itself favors the Democratic proposition, as do many more—indeed most —of the ablest papers in the country, Among the people at large the demand for the guaranty of bank deposits is spreading with unparalleled rapidity, As the Republican party and its candidates, including Taft for pres ident and Watson for governor, are opposed to this great measure, the only way to secure it is by voting the Dem ocratic ticket.

David M. Parry, of Indianapolis, for mer president of the National Associa tion of Manufacturers, in a letter to John W. Kern, declares that he is op posed to any sort of intimidation of employes by their employers and says that no placards to influence votes shall be hung up in the plant of the Parry Manufacturing company. Mr. Parry also says that he favors genuine tariff revision. Finally he asserts with much positiveness that although he is a Republican, he believes the affairs of the. country would be as safely managed under Bryan as under Taft, Front all of this it is apparent tha<. Mr, Parry is not in sympathy with his successor in office, the silly and hysterical Van Cleave. »

HAWKING MACHINES.

Catarrh Sufferers are Nothing But Hawking, Spitting and Blowing Machines, Says an Authority. Is it possible that in these days when cleanliness and sanitary reforni is being preached in the churches, schools and at public gatherings, that thousands of people will continue to suffer from catarrh, when there is an absolutely certain remedy always on hand. Hyomei (pronounced High-o-me) is a pleasant, medicated and antiseptic air. Breathe it in and it will cure catarrh. It will stop foul breath, watery eyes, and crusts in the nose, in a few days. “I suffered from catarrh for two years: tried numerous remedies which failed: used one and one-half bottles of Hyomei and am entirely cured.”—C. N. Llndsy, 407 East First Ave., Mitchell, S. D. A complete Hyomei outfit, consisting of a strong, hard rubber pocket inhaler and a bottle of Hyomei, costs only sl, and extra bottles, if afterwards needed, cost only 50 cents each. B. F. Fendig sells it and guarantees it to do exactly as advertised. Hyomei also sures Asthma, Bronchltis, Coughs. Colds, and infants Croup. x

THE SPECIAL SESSION OF THE LEGISLATURE.

The people of the state were astounded when they learned that Governor Hanly had issued a call for a special session of the legislature, to begin Sept. 18th. The reasons given by the governor for this startling action are that be wants some blunders made by the regular session in the appropriation laws corrected, wants something done about the “night riders,’’/wants the Vincennes University bond law repealed and a county local option law enacted. These are the things that Governor Hanly specifies. There is no doubt that there was blundering legislation by the Republican majority at the regular session, which now adds to the state’s embarrassments, just as there was extravagance and general Incompetency on the part of that same majority. But these financial difficulties could have been tided over by a capable executive without putting the people to 3100,000 expense in doing it. And that is what the special session will probably cost the people, along with the cost of the many special elections that will be necessary to fill vacancies./ All of the matters enumerated by the governor in his call as now dasirable to be done might have been at tended to at the regular session by the Republican majority. Not a single valid excuse is given for saddling upon the taxpayers of the state* this unnecessary and wholly indefensible expense. Governor Hanly knows, if he possesses the wisdom that he assumes, that the state's affairs could have been conducted until the next legislature meets in January, without this extra ordinary session. Rut the real reason for calling the expensive special session is not stated by Governor Hanly in his proclama tlon. A hitter quarrel between the Republican factions is the actual cause. For some time it has been common talk that Governor Hanly had demanded written pledges from James E. Watson as to his attitude toward the county local option law, the Vincennes Uni-versity-claim. the Babcock insurance bill and other pet measures of the gov -ernor. It is- declared that Hanly threatened to call a special session if Watson failed to “come through.”

In what respects Watson failed to satisfy the governor is not yet known, but it is known that the different Republican factions were soon in a fierce quarrel and Hanly has carried out hia threat. This quarrel will cost the taxpayers of Indiana something near SIOO,OOO. It ia a sheer waste of money. There is not a single reason to justify it. If Republican party continues much longer in state house there will be little left but the-buildlng and the taxpayers' load will become unbearable.

THE USUAL MR. HARRIS.

When the Republican managers in Indiana are in direful need of the opin ion of a lawyer to bolster up some campaign contention they always turn to the Hon. Addison C. Harris. And they never turn in vain. Mr. Harris served for four years as minister tc Austria and made a study of the lan guage of diplomacy—of how to say a thing very frankly without meaning a word of it. So, therefore, while he winks the other eye, Mr. Harris tells the Republican managers that, in his humble judgment—speaking as a loyal Republican who is anxious to help his party out of a hole and with the hope that what he says will not be tpo long remembered—the double, back-action scheme of county local option elections and township and ward remon strances will stand the strain of the law. For thus risking his reputation as a lawyer Mr. Harris will receive tfie warm thanks of the party managers, just as he h; ; in the past when he has been called on tor similar services. But Mr. Harris's opinion will not fool anybody.

Mr. Watson’s figures on state finances are just about the most wonderful things that anyone ever saw.or heard. A respectable manipulator of the game of the three shells and the little pea would be ashamed of such blundertag.

SHALL THE PEOPLE RULE? Let Them Assist In Bearing the Legitimate Expenses of the Campaign to This End. TO THE EDITOR: There are no secrets in this Campaign. Strictly practicing what he preaches, Mr. Bryan would not win victory with tainted money paying the election expenses. Not a dollar is to be accepted which requires" any promise, either express or implied, other than for HONEST, IMPARTIAL GOVERNMENT. Mr. Bryan will enter the White House absolutely free from entangling alliances, free to serve all classes of honest citizens alike, or he will not enter at all. Hence the course is plain. The campaign of Bryan and Kern must be conducted by the people. The people- must pay the necessary campaign expenses if they want public servants who will serve their interests. Special Interests and favored classes, having secured “SWOLLEN FORTUNES” by purchasing favors in the past with MILLIONS CONTRIBUTED TO CONTROL ELECTIONS, stand ready to give MILLIONS MORE FOR CONTINUED FAVORS. But that class never gives a dollar unless it buys a pledge. Mr. Bryan says, from March 4th, 1909, “LET THE PEOPLE RULE.” This can come only if the people pay their own bills, and control their own elections. “BEWARE OF THE TRUSTS ‘BEAMING GIFTS.’ ” That policy of the favored few buying a mortgage on the Government menat that the Candidate for'President knew a few people only in an entire State. Bryan says, “We will take the cause of PEOPLE’S RULE home to the people and will know people in every country.” You can serve the grand cause of popular government. Your paper reaches the fireside of the patriot who loves his country for his country’s GOOD; as distinguished from the greedy possessor of swollen fortunes who loves his country only for his country’s GOODS. Please carry this letter in BOLD TYPE at the mast head of your paper. Asking every one who favors Government by the people to pay you, at once, as many dollars as he can spare to aid the Campaign for BRYAN, KERN AND PEOPLE’S RULE. You forward these gifts of honest hearts and homes every two weeks to the Treasurer of the Democratic National Committee, with the name of each contributor and the amount -given. The Treasurer will forward you a certificate like the copy enclosed for each one, asking you to deliver these certificates. Once more, you should be a part of the Great Organization bearing the Lamp of Light to every nook and corner of Free America. Our Country is for the People; Its Government must be by the People. w Sincerely, ; . NORMAN E. MACK, Chm. Democratic Nat. Committee. M. C. WETMORE, Chairman Finance Committee.
