Kveryone knows that pneumonia and chronic catarrh have their originina com mon cold. Consumption isB not caused by a cold but the cold pre pares the reception and development of the germs that would not otherwise have found lodgment. Itis the same with all infectious diseases. Diphtheria, scarlet fever. measles and whooping cough are much more likely to be contracted when the child has a cold. You will see from this thot more real danger lurksin a cold “than in any other of the com mon aitlments. The easiest and quickest way to cure acold is to take Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy.

4 “». : GUARANTEE PLANK ONE OF MR BRYAN’S WINNING CARDS. The Object Lesson in Oklahoma and ‘Convincing Men that their Savings in Banks Should be Protected as Well as Ccvernment Cepu.its. : . The Democratic National Platform favors guaranteed bank deposits; the Republican platform is silent on that subject. Mr. Bryan heartily champions the plan; Mr. Taft is strongly opposed to it. . : Mr. Taft and Guaranteed Deposits. In his speech of acceptance Mr. Taft puts himself squarely on record as be ing opposed to guaranteed deposits. He says: “The Daemocratic platform recommends a tax upon national banks and upon such state banks as may come in, in the nature of en forced insurance to raise a guaranty fund to pay the &epositors of any bank which- fails. The proposal is wholly impracticable unless it is to be accompanied by a complete revolution in our banking system, with a supervision so close as practically to create a government. bank. If the proposal were adopted exactly as the Democratic platform suggests, it would bring the whole banking system of the country down. in ruin.” Why seek to confuse the people on a simple proposition? We are supposed to have Government supervision of natjonal banks now. Supervision does not mean a government bank; it simply means that the national bank inspectors will do just as they are expected to do under existing law—make their examination of banks thorough and make prompt and effective correction of any irregularities discovered. So it will be difficult to frighten the people by the claim that guaranteed deposits means thorough supervision of banks. That’s just‘ exactly what the people want. It is absurd to say that guaranteed deposits would “bring the whole banking system of the country down to ruin.” 4

What does: “guaranteed deposits” mean? It means that the savings of | the masses shall be secured so that when men and women deposit their hard-earned money in banking institutions, they need not worry for -fear £t 'will be lost through the rﬁifﬁmﬁuf ness and dishonesty of bank officials. The Federal Government demands of these banks security for the money it deposits. As a rule state governments and county ,govei‘nments and municipal governments make similar requirements. But now that it is proposed that depositors generally shall have some such assurance for -the: safe keeping of their wealth, we are told by the Republican candidate for the Presidency that the adoption of such a plan “would bring the whole banking . system of the country down to ruin.” “ : !

Oklahoma’s Object Lesson. Oklahoma has the guaranteed deposit plan and the following Associated Press dispatch tells of its operation in the first bank failure since the law went into effect: ] “Guthrie, Okla., May 21, 1908.— Within one hour from the time H. H. Smock, Oklahoma banking commissioner, had taken charge of the International Bank of Colgate he had authority to pay the depositors in full, though the bank’s ‘cash and available funds in other banks fell s22,ooo%short of the total amount of deposits. The commissioner was cnabled to do this under the operation of the new banking law, and this is the first time it has been called into use. Under the operation of the 'guaranty banking law -of Oklahoma a tariff of 1 cent is levied upon the average annual deposits of the banks, and this money is used in payment in full of all depositors of an insolvent state bank, after the funds have been exhausted.” Will the Banks Answer This? In addition to the arguments “already presented in favor of the guar anteed bank, the following is submitted: ‘

The United States Government requires a deposit of specific security} when it deposits money in a national bank; the state also requires secur-‘ ity, and the county and city deposits are secured either by bonds or by the | deposit of specific securities. f Now the question arises, if 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 depgsitor who cannot examine for himself and does not know anything about the bank’s solvency or methods? And i 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’,i the argument stronger in favor of the protection of depositors than it is in’ favor of the protection of the,(n'agoﬁi;»J the state, the county or the city? But the case is even stronger ‘wa;en;j the bank is'required to put up specific secn%the protection of thaix‘ state, country, or city deposits. Tts. gilt-edged securities are thus hypothe. caiod g e ntmnr poseriens o

‘Bo that, as a matter of fact, the pub He deposits are not only protected but they:are protected. at the expensé¢ cof the individual! “-nositors. Whal shall we say of ‘snal bank whick willingly gives the government speci fic security and then opposes the pro tection of depositors? = And, strange fc say, these big banks that get the long deposits from the government upon specific security are the very ones tha have fought and are fighting the sys tem for the guaranty of depositors It is time that the depositors under stood the situation and got together for their own protection. Will any banker who is opposing the guaranty system answer this argument and ex plain why it is right to protect gov ernment deposits and wrong to pro tect individual deposits? When the International Bank af Colgate, in Oklahoma, failed, the fol lov‘vlng notice was posted on the door:

06000000000000000000000000 3 NOTICE. . © SEEs s : This Bank is in the hands of the : - State Bank Commissioner. ¢ ® Depositors will be paid in full by : : The State Banking Board. ® :' Please call and get your money. ¢ @ H. H .SMOCK, ° . Bank Commissioner. g : State of Oklahoma. : e May 21, 1908. ° :.........0..........’...’:

A farmer in the country, who had money in the bank, sent word that he was too busy to come at once, but that he would call in a week. What a contrast that is to the rush that is made by depositors in banks where depos its are not guaranteed? There the people almost heat down the doors to get their deposits.

SARGEANT ON TAFT. He Declared that Judge Taft Remanded Workingmen to a Servjtude as Degrading as the Spartans Imposed Upon : Their Helots. ;

Last week Mr. Frank P. Sargeant died. In 1893 he was Grand Master of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen when_ Judge Taft “reduced railroad trainmen to machines to do the bidding of a master.” Here are some extracts from an article written by Mr. Sargeant abolit the decision by Judge Taft that was a grievous ‘ wrong: : “If a. judge of the United States court [he was discussing Judge Taft'’s decision] may abolish this right of an employe, he remands Him, un‘equivocally, to a servitude as degrading as the Spartans imposed upon their helots, and it is this phase of the strike which has aroused such intense concern and alarm. - . “It will not be expected that 1 should enter upon a discussion of the legal points involved; at best T can only voice the sentiments of a body of law-abiding men who have 'been trained by their organizations to re£pect laws and the decisions of courts, and who find themselves suddenly reduced to the condition of peonage by the decision of a United States judge.”

“Jt is asserted that railroads become common carriers, but are unable to perform their obligations without men. They must have memw, and it should be stated they must have engines, fuel, water, steam, tracks, etc. The locomotives and equipments can be purchased and become the property of the road, but they are useless without men, and these, once secvred, the genmeral manager, speaking as if by authority, intimates that they become fixtures, because, without them, as without engines, the obligations of the railroads cannot be periormed; such is the newfangled logic relied upon to reduce railroad trainmen to machines, to do the bidding of masters with authority conferred by. a United States judge. In at least one notable instance a United States’ judge has shown his utter contempt for a sovereign state and the laws made in conformity with . t‘ﬁ coastitution, and has sent county officials to prison because they would not disregard their oaths and obey his mandate—and it will readily be conceded, if such a high-handed outrage can be perpetrated and the judge remain unimpeached, that a judge may, with equal impunity, sulject railroad employes to autocratic indignities.”

“But it so happens that while men debate such propositions, embodying self-evident truths, the court, with an iron grip, holds freemen in bondage, and the victims are as powerless as when, under another exhibition of pewer, men were sold at the auction block.” o ‘

ROOSEVELT-FORAKER-TAFT-AND STANDARD OIL

Having constructed Taft and the officeholders’ machine -that nominated him, President Roosevelt is willing to go any length in an effort to help his candidate. His statement that the ‘Standard Oil company is unfriendly to Taft shows how far he is williné to go. But if he expects the people to follow him his conceit must be colossal. Speéking of the pré_sident’s utteranca on fhis subject, the Louisville GourierJournal says: ' “If this did not emanate from an of: ficer of such an exalted position as the president it would be farce. As it is, it is wcked audacity. The forces back of the Republican Foraker are back of the Republican party in this campaign. The whole Standard il contingent is not for Bryan, but for Taff for president. The 'st,eel trust magnates are not for Bryan, but for Taft. The stock gaxhﬁlers, each and every% one, are not for Bryan, but for Taft. Wall street is bodily -in the Taft col-‘ umn. Aldrich, Cannon_, Jim Sherman, Harriman—they’re for Taft- You cannot go through the money-lined offices of tariff-protected ind'us,tries. without finding the atmosplhere heavy with Taft sentiment. The whole crowd are ali so zealously and shoutingly for Taft that they are circulating diligently the tlx‘)7 that if ‘fl‘aft isn’t elected stocks will g 0 to pieces, business will fall off and there will be another pania as bad a.sl the Republican panic‘i of last year—and this. Taft is good enough for any of | them. Anything to elect him!. The weak-minded child in the street knows this. ~The syndicates do mnot want Bryan. Mr. Taft, Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. Hitchcock, Mr. Crane, Mr. Jim Sherman—none of these can point out a single stock gamblei', malefactor -of wealth or Standard Oil officer who is for Bryan for president. Therefore the president discredits “himself by his effort to make a case to overcome the stigma put upon the Republican party by the exposure of Mr. Foraker, supposing that Mr. Foraker is as black as he is painted, ; Fa o

“Nor can the president name any Democrat in congress who, backed by the ‘sinister’ interests,’ stood in the way of the reforms he demanded of the nat_iOnal legislature. The Democratic representatives and - senators were the president’s mainstays in thej enactment of legislation which he now 80 vehemently boasts of as the achieve-f ments of his administration. Does not this refute his own claim that the Democratic party is the property of the interests which backed Senator Foraker? For the president is as well aware as are the citizens with fair memories that the opposition -to the Roosevelt reforms came from his own party! Right and left, in front and in rear the foes of his program stood, ,all wearing the Republican label. The tombat was with them. ’\?dey were the forces that stood on guayd for the interests. If the president were not so anxious to fight his candidate’s fight at whatever cost he would be checked in his headlong vituperation by an ifota of gratitude toward his Democratic. assistente’t . o v o No noaieiqggegl;egspnt; regardless of the comforts that money will buy, as when BHE BNt e e L Y fect health.

Fair Means and Foul - If Speaker Cannon is re-elected in his district he will be eiected Speaker in the event that the Repubiicans win in -this election. He destrovs popular governments in what was once the popular branch of Congress, and the only way to restore ruie by the people is to defeat Cannon and é.r'xd the republican congress. # vote against Congressman Gilhams will Lelp do it. - Itis not a personal fight against Cannon that is _being waged, buta fight against Cannonism. ‘The republican party has approved the Cannon - rales and stood for suppressing legislation. No more severe arraignment bas been made than that by a Kansas Republican Congressmaun whois’ by the people. This Congressman— My. Murdock—is editor of the Wiehy ita Eagle,and here is his arraignment of Cannonism: = " “When Mr. Cannon asserted in Kansas that the rales of the House have been the same for a number of years he-might have scored a point with people who are ignorant of the systemj_ He did not, however, commit the indiscretion toward himseif of referring to the ‘Special ruies’ which he directs his committee to bring in and have adopted under his whip whenever he deems it essential to gag and padlock the mouth of every man of independenee in the House of Representatives.

‘‘He took good care not to mention the tactics' he used regarding the White Mountain forest reserve proposition, which had been petitioned for by a large numb:r of the people of this country who had been educated to its importance by President Roosevelt. It is boldly stated by the New Yorh Journal of Commerce that Speaker Cannon opposed this measure through his committees, both by fair means and foul.’ He did not ~ mention the methods he adopted in forcing through the house the bond—secured Aldrich bill with the Vreeland attachment to lit, and other measnres of almost equalimportance., All of hismethods show an extreme application of force derived from his autocratie power under the rules. ¢ “Mr. Cannon can argue antil: doomsday that he is not lespounsible for the rules but this country is not stupid as it was in its younger days, when statesman could ran blind calves over the masses with impunity. He is responsible for the rules as they hurt, for it is not so much the rules as the abuse of the rules that gives the people of the country cause to cowplain. The country 'wants both_ the rules and the ruler of the ruies changed, and itis only a guestion of time until the country will get whatitwantee? - . : e A Card : & This is to certify that all druggists are authorized to refung your money if Foley's Honey and Tar fails to/ cure iﬁ“:‘%l,‘!“‘fﬁf" cough.
