.CHERRY COUNTY.
Prof. E. W. Hunt delivered
a lecture Sunday afternoon to the
farmers , stockmen and others in
terested in Northwestern Ne
braska soil and the products of
this country. Mr. Hunt has been
visiting around in-Cherry county
for seme three or four weeks past ,
studying the grasses and the grain
producing qualities of the soil of
Cherry county. Prof. Hunt has
taken considerable interest in our
county and his enthusiastic talk
for our resources and prospective
development encourages those
who heard him to believe our
county is much more valuable than
any have heretofore believed.
Instead of lands that are as good
as anywhere in the west selling
at § 10 to § 15 per acre , they should
at least be taking the advanced
prices of eastern lands , some of
which have reached the value of
ten times the prices prevailing
here.
here.We
We can raise corn , wheat and
oats and the best potatoes in the
world ; also , all kinds of garden
truck does well' here. A failure
of crops is practically unknown
here , and irrigated lands produc
ing little more than wo can raise
cost more for water each year
than an ordinary crop is worth.
The expense of owning and tilling
a farm here is less than anywhere in
the world , considering the quanti
ty raised and the usefulness of the
crop. Our stockmen consume all
the crops raised , with the. excep
tion of wheat and potatoes , which
are raided in such abundance that
they must find a market in the
East or in the Kocky Mountain
stat es.
A flouring mill on the Minne-
cha'luza at Valentine buys all the
wheat and exports vast quantities
019 of flour the ; \oar round , largely
supplying the western country.
If , is a good market for all kinds
of grain which is bought at a fair
rnaikot price from farmers for
miles around.
O.ther crops grow abundantly ,
j furnishing feed for horses , cattle ,
hogs , sheep , chickens and forj
mankind. i
What more do want but settlers
to come and till the soil , to plant
and grow and harvest Fruit has
nut , bron rai.-rcl abundantly but
ninny are no\v rii : in , " noueh fruit
to use and supply a iv neighbors' '
and the qualify iunexcelled. . !
Wild fruit is plentiful and tame
fruit will soon be more than an
experiment.- Numerous ones who
have been successful raising fruit
should bring in a sample to show
what can be done in Cherry coun
ty.
There will be a Farmers Insti
tute for this ? purpose held Friday ,
Nov. l.'J , at which time every body
should drop their work for a day
and come to Valentine and hear
the plant life and products of Cher
ry County discussed. How to
raise thern will not be as important ,
as what is best adapted to the soil of
Cherry County , the kind of grass
es to cultivate and the rations best
calculated to feed stock for
strength , muscle , tissue , and fat.
It will be Farmers' and stockmen's
day in .Valentine. Prof. "Hunt
and several o her prominent speak
ers will be here and you should be
he.re to hoar them. Farmers please
bring samples of all that you raise
that is good and bring a nice dis
play of it. Prof. Hunt is in'prest-
ed in helping us to get an experi
ment station established somewhere
in Northwestern Nebraska and
wants to see and get acquainted
with the farmers and stockmen and
with the products of the .soil hero.
Now won't some of you bring in a
nice sample of what you are rais
ing on the farm and place it on ex
hibition in the court house on Fri
day , Nov. 13 , and stay all day and
hear the discussions that help to
make life more interesting ! ? Prof.
Hunt will interest you and you
willbciilad the VALENTINE DEMO-
CHAT encouraged you to come in

you and there's no charges nor ex
penses. Come and spend a day in
the Fa i frier's Institute and don't
forget to bring the w < men and

to take our places as the years
soon roll bv. Come.

What Officials Certify As To fc-rfect cf
Oklahoma Gusranty Law.
Some inquires have reached The
News respecting the workings of the
guarantee of bank deposits law In Ok
lahoma. The following is the last of
ficial statement issued by the state
authorities. It bears the signature of
Charles W. Bellamy , chairman of the
state banking board , and Roy C.
Bakes , secretary. It says :
The depositors' guaranty law was
passed December 17 , 1907 , and was
.made operative February 14 , 190S.
Bank reports show that the effect of
the law began weeks before the law
was in actual operation. There are
now 55G banks under the new law in
; the state , including 57 national banks ,
( all national ) in the state.
"From December 3 , 1907 , to/Feb-
rijary 4 , 190S , the deposits in the tin-
secured banks decreased about an
even half million. The secured na
tional banks for the same period
gained in deposits about $520,000. State
Lanks ( all secured ) for the period
from December 11 , 1907 , to February *
29 , 1908 , shows an increase in depos
its of $71f ,749.97. For the period end
ing May 14th the secured national
banks show an increase in deposits of
$ G15,413.G1. State banks , for the same
period , show an increase in deposits
of $2,355,602.14 , and the unsecured na
tionals lost in deposits $ GOOS07.SG.
"For the period ending July 15th.
1008 state banks show an increase of
deposits of $ S2SG39.91 , and 54 secured
nationals lost $557,183.40. This de
crease , it was claimed , was due to the
comptroller of the currency at Wash
ington demanding of several leading
.national banks to stay out of the guar-
tanty fund , leading to the belief that
jthey would later be prohibited as nationals -
tionals from joining a guarantee fund ,
.which has since proved true. For the
same period the 251 unsecured nationals -
( als show a decrease in deposits of
! $9G4GS0.2S.
' Total increase in deposits in all i
secured banks , December to July , per i
.reports $4,509,221.65. . Total decrease' '
'of deposits in all unsecured banks , $2-
065,488.14. Total decrease of deposits
in state funds in all banks for the last
period $1,200,807.50. So it is apparent
that there is $3,641,450.05 more indivi
dual deposits in Tjanksin Oklahoma
than before the depositor's guarantee
law was passed with all of the in-j
crease deposited in banks secured by j
this law. " Lincoln Evening News , Re

No Retreat.
For years the people have been de
manding relief from corporate abuses
and rapacity. The fight for the cor
rection of those evils is now on and
they insist that it shall continue until
those abuses are wiped out and the
coctrine of a "square deal" firmly es
tablished as a rule of official conduct.
President Roosevelt has been able
to accomplish much in directing the
fight. His official position has been
of immense advantage , but it would
have counted for little had there not
been back of itthe disposition
and desire to make the fight effective.
He was not the choice of "predatory
wealth" for the presidency , but of
the people and has shown both the
disposition and the desire to serve
them. But hi = term of office expires
next March , while the fight against
corporate g-iood has barely begun.
H the fight is to be kept up and
pushed to a successful issue , the
choice of a successor to Roosevelt
is a ma'ter of supreme importance.
His successor will be either Bryan or
Taft. The corporations against whom
this fight has been made and those
who fatten on their lawlessness , are
solidly lined up for Taft and in oppo
sition to Bryan. If the people permit
them to select the man who shall
le-d the fight against them for the
next four years , the fight for a "square
deal" is lost. If the people would win
this fight their leaders should be se
lected by them , not bv the enemy.
Who Selects Your Lawyer ?
If you were in litigation with an
other man , would you allow him to
select a lawyer for you or would you
select one for yourself ? The question
answers itself. Xo one but a fool
would allow his adversary to choose'
hiilawycr for him.
why not exercise the same judg
ment in choosing officers ? Why is it
that year after yc-ar , the very inter
ests the people have been fighting
have been permitted to select the men
to fill the public offices ? Just now
those interests are exerting all the
'powerful influence at their command
to elect Taft. He is their choice. That
"of itself is a strong hint to the people
ple that he is not the man for them.
Fear of Depositors.
!
Taft says that the Jear of their de
positors has a great deal to do with
ke 'ping bankers from their exploita
tion and manipulation of hank assets. "
Mighty few bankers have been hurt
'by ' their depositors ; the depositor is
the fellow thatjcets hurt.
t
. .I.- " ' ' 1
A Foflower , Not a Leader. ' .
*
Taft is a worlrer , but one who re
quires his work ' to bs laid out for
liim. While he has' shown 'a capacity
| to discharge such duties as have been
.assigned to him , there is nothing in
his public career to indicate any dis
position on his part to perform more
.than his allotted task , or to go out
; of his way to find opportunities tc
: serve his country. His attitude to
ward the great reforms that havf
.engrossed the attention of the public
'during ' the past decade has been that
of an indifferent spectator. He has
identified himself with none of them
i The work of carrying out those re
forms has barely begun. To carry
, them forward to -successful issue
[ requires chief executive who will
[ not only discharge the routine duties
of his office as they are forced upon
[ his attention , but who is able and
| has the disposition to take the initia-
{ live and to discover and bring to light
fthe abuses still rampant , 'and to take
; 0r suggest the proper steps for their
1 correction. If Secretary Taft's past
.teaches anything , it is that he is not
a man to do that.
True , he is President Roosevelt's
choice. But those who put their
'faith in him on that rowid should
j understand that the president , whatever
-ever his merits , is a practical politician -
; tician , and desires first the success
, of the republican nominee in the
'coming campaign. He is shrewd
enough to know that the influences
I which have balked the best plans
during the pa&t four years would be
turned against a candidate of his own
(
'type. He was forced to a choice between -
t
, tween republican d'tster and a can-
jdidate not objectionable to those in-
Jfluences , and he chose his war secre
tary. The manner in which his choice
has been received shows that the
president's political judgment was
not at fault when he selected Taft
.as a candidate not offensive to the
Jbaneful influences that have opposed
.his own administration. It is only
another instance of a great man set-
Iting party expediency above the pub-
.lie good.
President Roosevelt is not the first
"Who , born for the universe , narrowed
his mind ,
And to party gave 113 what was
meant for mankind. "
Why does the average banker fight
the guaranteeing of deposits at every
chance he sees ? Nearly all the money
.in the bank is deposited subject to
check. On this money the banker
.pays no interest yet it is the capital
'on which he does business. On this
'money the depositor pays taxes. So
that the depositor lends money to the
.bank for which he receives no inter
est and on which he even pays th
taxes. Is that liberal enough to suit
the banker ? Why does he object to
legislation that would make his depos
itor safe and then Avould cost him
practically nothing. Is it just because
he is afraid that some smaller bank
will stand a more equal chance when
U deposits are guaranteed alike ? For
vears our legislatures have fallen over
themselves to help the- bankers ; the
business , interests must be looked
Sfter , you know ! Now , isn't it about
time for the depositor , the man who
furnishes the capital for the business
of the country , to have justice
shown him ? Why are the banks so
foolish as to antagonize the greatest
body of the people. They were keen
enough to make friends with them
last fall when so much money was being -
ing withdrawn from the banks. The
people demand , , better security for
their money than they have had In
the past , and better security they are
going to have. On this question the
Nebraska Farmer stands with prac
tically every farmer in the state of
Kansas. We have no reason to doubt
that conditions are any different in
Nebraska. These are not party qus-
tions , although some would like to
make them so. They find it much
easier to beat the farmer out if they
can get plenty of party prejudices
mixed up with such questions. But
the farmer isn't so easily beguiled as
he used to be !
We can win Nebraska for Bryan if
all friends of Bryan and his cause
will work for that good end. But
we should remember that shouting
and boasting will not win this home
state for Bryan. We must win it by
fair and honest effort to convince our
republican friends that Bryan de
serves to carry his home state , and
that his good platform deserves the
support of all Nebraskans who be
lieve that the peop.le should rule.
The rank and file of Nebraska re
publicans are just as good at heart
asany democrat. They are open to
conviction , and thousands of them will
accept Bryan and his good platform
if we shall appeal to them in a sensi
ble way.

sanks safe for the depositors ? If so ,
