The bank guarantee bill, if it
ever becomes a law .without amend

for creating a fund of $488,000 to pro

to $65,000,000. The assessments
against the banks shall not be with
drawn therefrom, but remain on de
posit in the banks. In the event of a
bank failing, the depositors have sixty
days in which to file their claims. In
the course of time these claims will be
passed upon by a court of competent
jurisdiction and paid, if there is enough
money in the guarantee fund. This is
not the immediate payment plan pro
mised by Mr. Bryan. In fact it is
doubtful, in the event of failure of half
a dozen state banks, during a panic, if
depositors would receive more than a
small per cent of their deposits. As
it now stands, the guarantee law is a
farce.
SOLD OUT.
The republican insurgents of the
national house of. representatives got
only a crumb in their contest with
Gannon when they could have had
roast turkey with cranberry sauce had
it not been for a job lot of twenty-two
democrat8who sold their votes for
committee appointments and tariff
concessions to. what is known as the
repablican "house machine."
Without discussing -the"misunder-tanding
between the republican in
surgents and Gannon, it is conceded
that the former were fighting for a
principle and had every reason to ex
pect the united support of the demo
crats.. In fact, the very men who sold
their votes to the so-called "machine"
had promised their,-support to the
insurgents. The action of the twenty
two democrats who sacrificed principle
for Jpelf emphasises the oft repeated
assertion that democrats cannot be
trasted in an emergency. The deal
between the "machine" and the men
whose support was bargained and paid
for is the most disgraceful that has
even occurred in congress. After
fighting Gannon for six years they

The action of the "job ot" has

called attention to this question as one
of local selfishness. The manufac-

and at the same time

quote Hamilton as .the champion of
the high' protective idea. The men
who make this representation are
either ignorant or deliberately attempt
to mislead the public. The first tariff
bill introduced in congress in 1789
provided for "a tariff for revenue
only' and had the approval of Ham
ilton, at that time secretary of the
treasury under Washington. .The
bill was reported to the house by Mad
ison, and through the efforts of the
followers of Thomas Jefferson a protective-duty
averaging 8 per cent was
incorporated in the bill. 'After the
war of 1812, the tariff duties were in
creased on an average of 24 per cent
In 1828, the year Jackson-was elected
president, duties were increased on an
average 43 per cent
In nearly every great tariff contest
the followers of Jefferson and Jackson
have fought to protect the products
grown and articles manufactured in
their perticular localities, and in sell

twenty-two democrats were only up

nian ideas of tariff reform, which
means protection for democratic com
munities, regardless of other sections
of the country.
THE EXPERIMENT OF LIBERIA.
Nearly a century ago the United
States assisted in inaugurating an ex
periment to determine the capacity of
the negro for' self government Then
he promoters of the enterprise, or
rather their ' descendants, promptly
forgot all about it Now the under
taking is being forced into public
notice again by the call for help that
comes from Liberia (Liberty), the
black republic which was launched
under such favorable circumstances.
The African model of the United
States is reported to be in a deplorable
condition. So urgent have the appeals
from the West coast become that a
commission has been named to look
into the matter and see if our protege
in the Dark Continent cannot be start
ed again along the pathway of nation
al prosperity.
' If the negro fails to achieve success
as a nation builder in Liberia he cer
tainly cannot complain that he did not
have an auspicioas start No .less a
person than Uncle Sam was one of the
sponsors. The other wasa powerful
body of Americans which had an
enthusiastic ambition to do something
for the cause of the negro. Nations
usually are of slow growth. It is not
often that one springs forth full fledged
as did Minerva. .Liberia is such a
nation. It was organized with a pur
pose and to exploit an idea. The pur
pose was to provide a home for freed
'slaves; the idea to prove that the
negro was capable of governing him
self. The National Colonization so
ciety, which had this purpose and this
idea, was formed by Robert Finley in
1816. Henry Clay was made 'presi
dent Government co-operation was
sought and secured. Africa was
selected as the natural place fort such
an experiment Native princes ceded
to the society a strip of land on the
western coast below the Equator. One
idea was that slaves who were recap
tured from traders might be taken
there, either to find homes or make
their way from there back to the wilds
from which they were abducted.
For three years the project lan
guished. Then; in 1819, the United
States haying passed a law forbidding
the slave trade, Congress authorized
President Monroe to send a proper
person or persons to the African coast
to receive and return the recaptured
slaves. An appropriation of $100,000
was made fortius purpose. Then the
Colonization society collected a num
ber of freed slaves and settled them in
the promised land. The first perman
ent settlement was at Gape Mesurado.
An accounting was taken by the Unit
ed States government in 1830. This
showed that each of the 2,600 recap
tured negroes returned to aboriginal
jungles had cost this country a little
more than $1,000. The United States
quit As a philanthropist it was too
expensive.
Those were days, however, when
men were willing even to spend money
to show their love for; the negro, and
the Colonization society stuck to its
task. . A mail oeiler constitution was
sent over in 1839 for the negroes to
adopt The Liberians began to run
things under this constitution, their
white patrons in America retaining the
right of veto. Real progress was
made. Eight years after the constitu
tion was put into effect the Coloniza
tion society pulled down the American
flag, gave the negroes its blessing and
the reins of government and left.
That was in 1847. England recog
nised Liberia as a nation the follow-
ing year. Other European govsm-
followed the example of Great
Britain. Liberia was thus established
as a full fledged nation.
Naturally, Liberia became a nation
formed after the manner of the United
States. There was a president and a
vice president A cabinet was formed
to advise with the chief executive.
Two houses constituted the law-making
body. A supreme court interpreted
the laws. Left to themselves, the
negroes started out by making a mis;
take. They passed a law forbidding
white men to hold property in Liberia.
This measure was designed to preserve
the supremacy of the black; man in his
own country. The evil effects of this
law were not at once noticeable.
Liberia advanced in power and pres
tige, me nrat JiiDerians bad gone
from the" United States. They knew
how white people lived. As slaves
they had rubbed elbows with the cul
ture of the South. They triedto build
up in the jungle a civilization copied
after that which they had left In a
measure they were successful. A trade
school was established, and it flourish
ed. Churches were organized with
pastors of their own race. A prosper
ous trade was established.
But with the death of the negroes
who had come into personal contact
with American progress the effects of
the exclusion of the white man began
to crop out The negroes were poor.
They could not develop their resour
ces. The white man was forbidden to
do so. The result is that there is not
-a mile of railroad or a line of tele
graph' in all Liberia. Other coast
settlements have railroads and are
prosperous. While they have advanc
ed Liberia has gone back. The trade
school has been abandoned. Com
merce has dwindled to almost nothing.
Finances are at a low ebb. Most of
the trade that comes from the interior
is carried on, not by the descendants
of the ex-slaves, but by the native
tribesmen who are not affiliated in the
government Returned missionaries
who use plain language say the Libe-'
rians are lazy. The progressive men
of the republic, and there are not a
few of them, see the nation's only sal
vation in the repeal of the exclusion
law. They are outvoted, however, by
their more ignorant countrymen who
glory in their isolation.
The poverty of the country is not a
result of natural conditions. Nature
has been lavish in its gifts. Cotton
grows wild. Bananas develop from
sprigs stuck into the ground. Other
tropical fruits yield abundantly, too
abundantly, perhaps, to awaken energy
in a people. The climate, while"dan
gerous to white men, is not so to
negroes. Altogether it is an ideal
spot for a black man to make a mark
for himself. Perhaps the commission
which the United States purposes to
send out may find out why he is not
fulfilling his destiny. Kansas. City

THE NEW CABINET.
Strictly speaking the president of
the United States has no cabinet, that
is to say, there is no integral body of
constitutional advisers to whom' he is
bound to listen and who derive their
authority from the approval of the
majority of the legislature for the time
being, as is the case of the king's min
isters in England. What we call the
president's cabinet is composed of the
heads of the several administrative de
partments, selected by him, with the
advice and consent of the senate, pri
marily for the management of these
departments, and subject in practice
to retirement at the president's discre
tion. Their relation to the president
and to congress is somewhat ill-defined,
and disputes regarding it arise from
time to time, but usually the control
is tacitly in the president He is not
obliged to consult them, even as to
matters in their departments, but 'he
habitually does, not only as to these
but as to matters of broad policy. The
degree to which the influence of each
is felt depends largely on his person
ality and on the degree of confidence
and harmony he .succeeds in estab
lishing. While the cabinet is not, in our gov
ernment, a 'body of official advisers,
jointly responsible and entitled to be
heard, it is plain that its members can
be of very great service to a president
inclined to seek and capable of using
sound counsel. Undoubtedly Presi
dent Taft has selected the members of
his "family," as it is the habit of Wash
ington to call them, with reference to
this service. While none of them,
with the exception "of Mr. Knox, the
new secretary of state, has a consider
able national reputation, all are men
of acknowledged and proved ability,
of excellent training, and of expe
rience in their respective callings.
The most conspicuous fact concerning
thdm is that seven of the nine have
been educated as lawyers, and five
have attained a high rank in their
profession.
Another fact is that they are, as a
body, in the prime of manhood. Only
two of them, Mr. Wilson, in the de
partaMnt of agricultnre, and Mr. Mac-
Veagh, in thV treasury, are oyer 60.
Mr. Nagel, ill the department of 'com
merce and labor, is ia his sixtieth
year and the remaining six members
of the cabinet range'from 42 to 58,with
an average of $1. They might -not
bave'the taste or the strength for all
day saddle rides,, but it'is interesting
to note that our townsman, Attorney
General Wickersham, is a tried horse-
man; that Mr. Knox, the' secretary of
state, is a driver and breeder-'of fine
horses, and that Mr. Dickinson, the
secretary of war, is the owner of the
famous Belle Meade stock farm. The
practicing lawyers, all eminent in
profession, are Mr. Knox, Mr. Ballin
ger of the interior, Mr. Dickinson, Mr.
Wickersham and Mr. Nagel of the
department of commerce and labor.
Of these all save Mr. Ballinger have
been more or less intimately, concerned
with great corporations, transportation
or industrial. They are qualified to
speak with knowledge on the problem
to which President Taft has announced
that his administration will give care
ful attention, the efficient, just and
helpful regulation of corporations so
far as the federal law can attain it.
It is noteworthy also that two of the
cabinet have had the benefit of foreign
education, Mr. Dickinson .at Leipsic
and Paris and Mr. Nagel at Berlin.
It is obvious that Mr. Taft has
chosen his cabinet with little reference
10 "secuonai claims wmen only a
short time since received such consid
eration, and the actual facts as to-their
birth and residence shown in a strik
ing fashion the' present absurdity of
such claims, and the essential nation
alism of men of importance and streng
th in America ho matter where they
were born. JMr. Meyer of the navy
department and Mr. Knox of the state
department are the only members of
the cabinet appointed from the states
of their birth. Mr. Ballinger was
born in Iowa, has resided in Alabama
and Illinois, and is appointed from
Washington. Mr. Dickinson was born
in Mississippi and is appointed from
Tennessee. Mr. .Wickersham, ap
pointed from New York, was born in
Pennsylvania. Mr. Nagel, appointed
from Missouri, was born in Texas.
Mr. Hitchcock, appointed from Mass
achusetts, was born in Ohio. Mr.
MacVeagh, appointed from Illinois,
was born in Pennsylvania. While
Mr. Wilson, the typical American
farmer of the cabinet was born in
Scotland. Another evidence of the
national character of the cabinet, its
independence of strict -party lines as
well as of sectionalism, is that Messrs.
Dickinson and MacVeagh belong to
the noble army of patriots known as
"Cleveland Democrats." New York
Times.
UNSUNG HEROES OF THE DEEP.
Life-Savers Succeed or Fail Without
the Applause of the World.
The life-saver is never a demonstra

also, he lacks imagination. Tou can

his life is a hazardous one and of ex?

more peaceful pursuits, but in vain.
Only the details of his daily duties,
which are many and arduous, seem to
appeal to him; the romantic side, the
perilous side, he sees not at all. He
will talk by the hour of life-buoys and
life-lines, or night signals and wireless
telegraphy, of searchlights and motor
lifeboats; but of himself, who is the

Historical plays are acted every
where in China. They are popular in
the quiet villages, the homes of the

written with the object of Intensify

people against Jh foreigner. The
story of plundeiings and massacres of
their forefathers is vividly portrayed,
with all the dramatic power that the
actors possess. The foreigner is rep

is so abundant that the natives of
