An authority on -wild cat banking has attacked the writer of the editorial in regards to Wild Cat Banks as fostered by Mr. Bryan. In the face of his assertion that the Question la one "which, hard headed bankers are unable to answer, after a life time of experience," some Indulgence ought to be given to the writer. But a pertinent question, It seems is how Mr. Swallows has accomplished what these same "hard headed bankers" have failed to accomplish. It is indeed true that conservative bankers have failed to see any benefit In the scheme of Mr. Bryan. Mr. Swallow accuses the writer of being informed at sixth or seventh hand. To this we plead guilty; we were informed by Mr. Bryan. It seems that Mr. Bryan Is an untrustworthy source. Mr. Bryan is responsible for the statement that the scheme would enable banks to give "an attractive rate," and intimated that the bank would be able to get depositors at a higher rate of Interest than was customary. We took him at his word. As to the actual rate of Interest, that makes no difference. We used G or 7 for the sake of illustration or 4 which is quite as dangerous if the corresponding ratio Is kept. Six or seven was used as an Illustration merely of what the "attractive rate" so lauded by Mr. Bryan, might lead to. If the statement is Incorrect, there is abundant reason to believe that it was simply another case In which Mr. Bryan spoke without reading from his manuscript Does Mr. Swallow seriously think It would be Impossible to get around the law which he quotes? (Sec. 13.). In case the bank is dishonest, what will prevent it? Not the law. The

law can easily be evaded. The men can lend to a speculative scheme with perfect ease. It has been done before under laws more stringent; it can be dona agaia. "it is refreshing to be given the credit for knowing that national, 6tate and other public moneys are already guaranteed. We are informed, however, that the bank must buy surety bonds to cover the maximum, not the "minimum" amount of deposit however, that is, of course, a trifling difference which has escaped Mr. Swallow. The writer is personaly accused by Mr. Swallow of being a party to the Iniquitous banking system in vogue, designed for the sole purpose of defrauding the widow and the orphan. What a terrible charge. To rob the small depositor? It may not be of general interest or even of Interest to Mr. Swallow, but the writer is both an orphan and a small depositor. To this end we have taken up Mr. Bryan's attempt to place a premium on dishonesty, the attempt to foster the wild cat bank on which Mr. Swallow seems to be an authority. And to that end we put forward the plan outlined by Mr. Taft for a postal savings bank, which gives the guarantee of the government to the small depositor. However, as Mr. Swallow finds no fault with our views on this subject we must conclude there Is none to find. Mr. Swallow may be right in saying that the guarantee will come and be espoused by the republican party. We are sure that a guarantee is not bad per. se. The difficulty is to attain this without encouraging evils which may in turn jeopardize the deposit and the guarantee. The guarantee if adopted by the republicans, will, we hope, be a better one than Mr. Bryan's and Mr. Swallow's. If there be a moral to this it would seem to be: "Take not the word of Bryan seriously." We still incline to a belief that the system proposed by Bryan is unfair to the honest bank. That it is dangerous and should not be adopted.

THE YELLOW PRESS. The National Editorial Association was recently addressed on the subject of yellow journalism by John A. Sleicher, the editor of Leslie's Weekly. It was plain talk, treating of what he considered their glaring faults: sensationalism and inaccuracy. Although he blamed the papers, he robbed his remarks of sting by laying the blame on the public. "Claiming to be impartial, nothing is more one-sided than the ordinary newspaper story. The reporter gathers his facts in a hurry from the side he can most easily reach. If he can reach both sides he will take the one with the most sensational quality. He is not a judge dealing In equities, but only a reporter representing the ravenous appetite of a sensation seeking public a public that has little time for newspapers that believe in the educational and uplifting." The bad points of the modern newspaper story are brought about by the same causes which make the poprs better than they have ever been. The causes are competition, the laws of supply and demand. The "scoop" in the newspaper world Is as much an affair of time and chance as it is of intelligence, but it is an active feature in competition. There is greater and more constant competition in the newspaper world than any other. The "scoop" is the parent of inaccuracy and it must necessarily be so. The laws of supply and demand are responsible for the tone of any newspaper. The circulation of the "yellow" newspaper will be the answer in any community as to the desire for thrilling and sensational stories. The newspaper is not a philanthropic institution. All newspapers which are not tracts are printed for money. A paper must be good enough to sell or there will have to be a receiver appointed. The paper," according to the skill of its news editor, purveys the news which will please its clientele. All talk of raising the tone of the newspaper is foolishness. The newspaper is the barometer of public mor als. THE KING AND THE CONGO. The annexation of the Congo seems imminent. Both the Belgian senate and the king of the Belgians have reached an agreement This closes a chapter of cruelty and scandal. The Congo is the property of the king and we have the spectacle of his country imploring him sell the territory to them so that atrocities might be stopped. The king of the Belgians has at last capitulated after having held out for a large annual allowance based on a life interest. Practically, we have the assurance that the ruthless treatment of the natives will now cease. But there is a wider lesson to be observed. This marks the passing of the private possession of lands by monarchs. Time was when the king owned or parceled off to his nobles all the lands in return for military service. With the nationalization of the army the bal ance of power has fallen into the hands of the people. With the bal

ance of power the people can take away the possessions of the king. What is the significance in the taking away of private possessions of land? Everything. Land has always been the foundation of nobility a noble without land is no noble at all. Tha taking away of private possessions (even if. as In this case, it be masked as a sale) means the last step in tho making of the monarch into a figure head. This is the wider significance of the passing of the Congo, though th? world will see rightly why the material benefits will accrue to the poor blacks pauns who have heretofore amassed riches for the king of the Belgians.

John Simmons had been a twenty years' abstainer, but fell from the ways of grace and worshiped the vin cus god with all the fervor of a pervert. Feeling the need of recuperation, he sent his boy to an adjacent hostelry for a bottle of whisky. "But" cried the hotel proprietor, "who's it for?" "For my father." "Nonsense. Your father Is a total abstainer and has been, to my knowledge, for longer years than you've lived." "Well, at ail events, he sent me for it" "What does he want it for?" "To lot you into a secret" said the boy. ashamed to tell the truth, "he's going fishing, and he wants the cork to use for a float!" THE PASSING OF WAR. Down the dark future, through long generations. The echoing sounds grow fainter and then cease. And like a bell, with solemn, aweet vibration. I hear once more the voice of Christ say, "Peace." Peace, and no longer from Its brazen portals The blast of war's great organ shakes the skies. But beautiful as songs of the Immortals The holy melodies of love arise.
