BANK GUARANTY IN POLITICS.
Special Fake Dispatciics Give Latest
Phase of the Situation.
Winside, Neb., Oct. 10: Our eminent
townsman, Pete Peruna, who has his eye
on a rich gross widow with money in the
hank, is fierce for Bryan's guaranty
scheme. Pete is apprehensive that his
intended wife's bank roll might be lost
before he can marry her and blow it in
himself.
WakeGeld, Neb, Oct. 10: Ole Mar
garine, our enterprising hog buyer, is op
posed to Taft on religious grounds.
Tafl is a Unitarian. (Jnitarianism is too
liberal a belief for Ole. Mo&t people
would be saved under that system,
which Ole does not consider just and fair
to orthodox believers.
Dallas, S. D., Oct. 10: Dan Druff of
Red Cloud, Neb , who is here to register
for the Rosebud drawing, addressed an
inpromptu but enthusiast ice audience on
Main street last night on the coming
administration of Bryan, which he de
clared would bring prosperity to both
toilers and non-toiler:. Dan declared
that he not only believed in everything
Bryan had advocated, hut in every the
ory he had abandoned, from free silver
to government ownership of railroads,
which produced prolonged cheering.
Wayne, Neb., Oct. 10: Since Jim
Jiggers shipped a car of hogs to Omaha
last December and struck a bad market
he is sore at the Republican party and
will vote for Bryan. At the last election
he voted for Roosevelt, but it was be
cause he didn't like Parker, like many
other Bryan Democrats.
Atkinson, Neb., Oct. 10: Ben But
ternine is so enthusiastic over Bryan's
bank guaranty plan and does so much
street talking on it that he don't have
time for other things, such as chores,
which he is allowing his wife to do dur
ing the campaign. Ben has never bank
ed any money, but expects to do so when
his wife's father dies.
O'Neill, Neb., Oct. 10: A bank guar
anty marching club was formed yester
day and had its first parade this evening.
Headed by the Free Silver Cornet band
the club marched down Broadway, tur- j
ing on State street. The club was forty
minutes passing a given point, which was
Brand's saloon.
Oreighton, Neb., Oct. 10: Our lead
ing Democrat, Shep Ringo, will start a
bank as soon as Bryan's guaranty deposit
scheme is authorized by congress. Shep
hasn't any capital, but he claims that
capital isn't needed, just plain confi
dence, which governmental guaranty
will give. Under the new system, Shep
claims, capital will be as unnecessary
and supeilluous as a variform appendix.
He is already chuckling over the dismay
of the Wall street sharks when the new
banking scheme puts the small fry fel
lows on a par with them and their swol
len wealth.
Pierce, Neb., Oct. 10: Our popular
barber, Jake Jannery, will vote for Bryan
this trip, just like he has at previous
elections. Jake is much displeased over
Roosevelt's inability to collect that $29,
000,000 fine against the Standard Oil.
He says that when Rjyan is president
and commander of the array and navy,
the very first thing he will do, after he
gets through turning out Republican
postmasters, will be to call out the sol
diers and marines to collect fines.
Battle Creek. Neb., Oct. 10: Patrio
tic citizens, mostly Bryan Democrats,
will have a liberty pole raising next
week. "Old Glory" will be hoisted to
symbolize the escape of the farmers of
Nebraska from the shackles of Wall
street, which will be accomplished by
the election of Bryan and Kern. Bill
Brumley, who expects to be postmaster
when Bryan gets in, will deliver an ad
dress on this occasion, his subject being
governmental underwriting of bank de
posits. Bill has given this matter deep
study, notwithstanding that -he is a bor
rower, and not a depositor in banks.
Tilden. Neb., Oat. 10: Our leading
hog raiser, Amos Green, figures that one
per cent of the bank deposits of Nebr
aska will make a guaranty fund of
$1,000,000. Amos does not consider it
wise to keep so much money locked up
in idleness. His scheme is to have the
guaranty fund loaned to farmers, partic
ularly those who voted for Bryan in
189G, 1900 and 1903. As security, quick
realizing security shonld be given, like
fat cattle, dogs and baled alfalfa, which
could be rushed to the Omaha and Souix
City markets in time of stress and money
realized thereon.
Long Pine. Neb., Oct. 10: Bill Blit
sen, our most prominent farmer, who
has given economic and political ques
tions thoughtful and deep study, is
whooping it up for Bryan. Bill's friends
intend to recommend him for secretary
of agriculture in Bryan's cabinet. Bill
is splendidly qualified for this important
position, having done everything in the
farming line from feeding hogs to run
ning a manure spreader.
Scribner, Neb., Oct 10: Two of our
leading citizens, Lafe Lydecker and Sid
Slowtrack, got into a red hot joint de
bate on Main street today over govern
mental guaranty of bank deposits. Lafe
contended that the country was suffer
ing for lack of federal underwriting.
Sid retorted that if the government
would insure against loss from hog chol
era it would be more beneficial to Nebr
aska farmers than double insurance
against loss of bank deposits. This flip
pant suggestion so angered Lafe that he
struck Sid in the mug. A lovely slug

cans and Democrats and Socialists enjoy

The Panama Canal Is one of the
greatest achievements of any Repub
lican administration.
As Secretary of War. Hon. William
H. Taft personally assumed the respon
sibility of inaugurating the work and
systematically shaping up the practical
operations until a degree of efficiency
has been reached that may well as
tonish the nations of the earth.
Mr. Taft has applied to this world
project and history making enterprise
those same qualities of careful. thought
ful investigation, penetrating judgment
and absolutely fair dealing, which have
made him so signally successful in the
performance of all those duties of state
which have brought him to the high
eminence he now occupies as one of our
greatest living Americans.
Mast Kmw Peraoaally.
Like the Philippine project and other
great work laid upon blm, he has
studied the situation at Panama at
close range and trusted to no second
hand information with which to In
sure his success. There has been about
ninety million dollars expended on the
work to date and Mr. Taft has had to
approve every dollar of this expendi
ture. He has not been satisfied with
a single visit to the isthmus, but has
made the long journey every year so
that he might direct the work more
economically. The result is that be has
changed the situation there from an In
hospitable region to a locality where
Americans can live in healthful se
curity without the fear of plagues or
dread of contagious diseases. The rate
ef mortality on the isthmus is about
the same as It is in our American cities.
ntmgmm of (m Work.
Work on the canal has passed
through two stages, those of planning
and preparation. It Is now in the third
and final stage, that of construction.
Both of the earlier stages required the
presence of a large working force.
necessarily "quartered In temporary and
make shift accommodations. Because
of these conditions, inevitable at the
outset, early critics of the enterprise
mistook the Initial and temporary out
fit for permanent equipment.
TrBS-htfaI Abaat Labor.
Mr. Taft's chief concern has been the
proper care of the laboring man on the
isthmus. Under his patient and ap
proved methods the terrible scourge
of yellow fever, against 'which fhe
French struggled in vain, the filthy and
pest breeding state of the principal
Panamanian towns, the rough labor
camps, and other pioneer hardships of
the two first eras, have been eliminated.
He has accomplished these things
through the activity of the Department
of Sanitation, the Department of Mu
nicipal Engineering and the Building
Department. To-day we find yellow
fever driven from the Isthmus, the
deadly stegomyia mosquito thus ren
dered innocuous, malaria and pneu
monia greatly reduced and a high
average of health prevailing.
Mammoth Conatracttoa Project.
President Roosevelt appointed a spe
cial commission to examine the Isth
mian situation last spring, and It re
ported Aug. 6, 1908. According to this
6ecial report there were at work at
the Isthmus April 30. 1908, 26,118 men
for the Isthmian Canal Commission and
7,075 at work for the Panama railroad,
l total of 33,193 men all told. HousinjE
this industrial army in quick time,
with due attention to sanitation and
hygiene, was a problem which would
have been beyond most men. But Mr.
Taft did it successfully.
To keep the machinery and tools in
condition, three large machine and re
pair shops, two shipyards and numer
ous warehouses are maintained. When
we recall that this enormous plant is
operated at a distance of 1,382 miles
from its nearest base of supply, New
Orleans, and 1,975 miles from its main
base of supply. New York, we can es
timate with more justice and accuracy
the magnitude and complications of the
undertaking Mr. Taft has conducted so
well.
Worklaa-mea Appreciate Taft.
He has succeeded In impressing labor
on the Isthmus with his kindly inter
est in Its behalf. On this point the spe
cial commission's report says: ''From
the outset we were strongly Impressed
by the spirit of good will and loyalty
of the employes The general
sentiment of the workers was expressed
in the words of a mechanic, in one of
the conferences which we held with
representatives of different trades. Said
he: 'We want it understood that we
are American citisens and that we are
proud to have a share in this great
work. We believe the government is
treating us right, and we are as much
interested to see this thing a success
as anyone.' This spirit of loyalty and
interest in the work was evidenced on
many occasions and should be account
ed as an asset of the highest value to
the government In the accomplishment
of its colossal task."

On May 1, 1907, as Secretary of War,
Mr. Taft Issued a longevity order mak

DEMONSTRATION
Actaal Operatiea ef Postal Savings
Banks ia Philippines.
Two Tears' Experiment Indicates
the Plan la Successful.
The only postal sayings bank sys
tem in operation under the American
flag is that in the Philippines, where,
after two years of experiment, the
institution has been declared a great
success. In the report of the Philip
pine commission, just published, the
postal savings bank is discussed brief
ly, in part as follows :
"The postal savings bank was first
opened in Manila on Oct. 1, 1!K)G.
The law provides for three classes.
with limitations as to the amounts
that can be received at any one time
in each class. Following the opening
of the Manila office, other postal sav
ings bauk offices were opened in vari
ous cities, of different classes, until
at the close of the year 235 had been
oiened, of which 9 were first, SG were
second and 140 were third class.
Fillplaoa Adopting; System.
"At first the Filipinos did not to
any great extent avail themselves of
the opportunity of depositing a portion
of their receipts in the postal savings
bank, and a great bulk of the depositors
were Americans and of other nation
alities. As the advantages of this sys
tem have been disseminated through
means of schools, government bureaus,
private agencies and others, the pro
portion of Filipinos is continually in
creasing, and gives very good promise
that the Filipinos will learn to trust
their money to tlte care of the govern
ment, and welcome the opportunity.
"The accounts opened up to the
close of the fiscal year numbered
2.G7G, of which 347 were closed, leav
iug 2,329 still open. The deposits
reached the total sum of 78G.3G1.03 pe
sos an average of 108.21 pesos. With
drawals reached the total amount of
280,499.21 pesos, leaving a net deposit
of 509,4G3.31 pesos at the end of the
fiscal year or the first nine months
of the operation of the postal savings
bank but by no means the first nine
months of operation of the average
number of offices, the smaller ones
having been opened from time to time
during the year, so that many had
not been opened more than a mouth or
two at the time these figures were
taken.
Eaearas;laa; Small Aacoaata.
"The device of issuing postal sav
ings bank stamps has met with some
response. The stamps are simply a
method by which small amounts can
be deposited without the expense of
issuing a book, figuring interest, and
opening an account.
"On the whole, the reception accord
ed the postal savings bank has beon
gratifying, and gives good promise.
The investment of the funds is in the
bands of a postal savings bank invest
ment board, which carries a certain
amount of the funds on deposit, and
has limited power of investment. The
law provides that 25 per cent of the
money held on deposit may be loaned
on first-class real estate, under limita
tions carefully drawn to protect the
depositors, and 10 per cent on agricul
tural lands under still more rigid limitations."
AS E00SEVELT SEES BRYAN.
"You say that you have advo
cated more radical measures
against private monopolies than
either I or my party associates
have been willing to undertake.
You have, indeed, advocated
measures that sound more radi
cal, but they have the prime de
fect that in practice they would
not work. I should not In this
letter to you discuss your utti
tude on this question if you did
not yourself bring It up, but as
you have brought it up, I answer
you that In my judgment the
measures you advocate would be
wholly ineffective in curing a
single evil, and so far as they
had any effect at all, would mere
ly throw the entire business of
the country into hopeless aud ut
ter confusion. I put Mr. Taft's
deeds against your words. I ask
that you be judged both by the
words you wish remembered, and
by the words that seemingly you
and your party now desire to
have forgotten. ... I hold it
entirely natural for any great
law-defying corporation to wish
to see you placed in the Presi
dency rather than Mr. Ta't. Yo.ir
plans to pnt a stop to the abuses
of these corporations are wholly
chimerical. Theodore Roosevelt"
