would bear a little hard upon sone

to the other sugge.stlun. that the In-
cicasut ) tax would icsult In Hit1 piodue-
tlou of Impuiu liL'i'r , such would pt > ibo -

up the quality of their beer to Its pres

business policy. Whether or not the In
creased tax would yield the estimated
revontio ainnot bo detoimined In nd-
vniico oC Its application. The con
sumption of. beer In this country Is
steadily gtowhij ? , nt the expense of
spitltuous liquor * , and It Heetns entirely
icasonablc to conclude that the pto-
posed additional tax would yield the an
ticipated revenue , estimated on the
basis of the icturns from the present
tas , slncu the 44 cents per him el would
not be felt by the consumer nnd there"
fore would not operate to reduce con
sumption. The Increase would amount
to less than 1 cent on n gallon , or say
I cent on twenty glasses , M ) that of.
course there could not be any advance
Hi the lelall pi Ice of beer.
The blowing Interest may reasonably
claim that It Is already supplying a
largo revenue to the government and
should not be nskci ! for nune , but theie
Is mi exigency that must be met and If
It Is deemed necessary to Incicase the
tax on bo'T ' in order to meet this
exigency the brewing Interest ought to
willingly pay It as a public duty. They
are not likely , however , to take that
view of It.

The convention ol the National League
of Winter Wheat Millets , held In St.
Louis Hie past week , adopted a lesolu-
tlon expressing its dissatisfaction with
the omission of a icclpiooity provision
from the tariff bill leported to the sen-
ite. The losolutlon "most earnestly re
minds the patty in power ot Its failuie
to lodeom the pledges upon which so
much of political nnd material ptospoi-
liy depends" and concludes : "We sub
mit that there Is nothing In the tailtT
moasuie to add one dollar to the value
of our exports , " This is prcmatuie
censuio , since the I ail It bill has not
yet come up for consldeiation in the
senate and the llnance committee of
that body has announced that It In-
ti-nds to propose a icclproclty piovlslon ,
but it ma.soivo . the put pose of Im-
piesslng upon congress the tact , which
It ought to be Hilly awaie ol , that this
question of loeipioeity is regaided as
of u > ry gioat impoitanco by a large ele
ment of the people and that lo pass a
tat ill bill without piovidlng for a ies-
totatlon of this policy ivonld cause wide-
si toad dissatisfaction.
So far as the milling Interest Is con-
ecttied it has toll more decidedly per
haps than any other the ill effects of the
abandonment of loclpioolty. A large
e\poit tiado In Hour tluit was built
tip under that policy has been lost and
thciefoio this intoiost is able to fully
loall/.e the uilno ot this commercial
pilnclple. Hut they ate not alone In
wanting roclpiocity. Other manufac-
ttnets are no less earliest In desiring it
and ( he iigilciiltiii.il inteiests also want
it It is a distinctively lepubllcan policy
and the pnity Is pledged 1)y ) Its pint-
torui to icstou * it. The to can be no
doubt that it 'will redeem the pledge.
Conditions are dllt'erent now from what
they weie in IS'10. There are ditllcultles
to be oveicome which did not exist then.
Hut a way will be tound to surmount
thesn dilllcnlties and It can be regarded
us certain that the new tariff law will

widen the maiKots for our products.

What Is the. state's resonsibillty ] ) to
( l. iosltors iu tailed state hanks ? This
question , piopoundcd by a contrlbntoi
to the Chicago Tiilmno a few days ago ,
together with the answer which it
elicited , affoids suggestive teed for
thought. "While it may be true , " ex
plains tlie writer , "that the state Is not
legally liable lor losses which occur
tluongh Mich institutions , yet I think it
Is so mot ally. That is to say , in my
opinion It Is the duty of the state to see
that the public Is tnrnished with Institu
tions In which it is absolutely safe to put
Its money. 1 think it Is one of the most
disgiaceful and disconiaging things of
today that institutions of this sou are
allowed to exist , and the fact that the
state does pietend to have an oveisijht
on them , In that way piactlcally ceitlfy
Ing that they are safe depositoiles for
the people's money , seems to me Implies
a moial lesponsibillty. The manner in
which this business Is done today the
state becomes a paity to a villainous
C ( > ! 'spj.u.\ | to beat the public by ghing
a certiliiate to the elT"ct that these in
stitutions are all light. "
Hoplylng to these stilctuies , the retort
Is made that weie the state to guarantee
doposltois lu * tate hanks against Ihu ills
ho'iesly , negligence or poor minagement
of bank olllcers , then tne Mtnte mnfit be
piiAldcd with the funds with which to
make good ibis jrnaianicc in cas"e of a
loss. It cannot ! > . expected ioa onably
rlitl Hie state will tax the piovldent eitl
7"iis who have managed Hieb financial
all His piud"iitly and have not deposited
ihfir money in banl.s that bieaK , In or
di i to make good the losses sustained by
thee who did not exeicLst- the same
I > r > uiuHon. Nor could it bt > expected
Hi u such a tax for such a pin pose could
ln levied on those persuus who do not
I'so the banl.s at all. If theie
11 to be a guarantee or an Inmir
nnce against loss lo bank depositoi.s
thi-n all those who aie thus insured miisi
iMilM in lit ni Ing the bunion and not PIH-I ,
to shift pait of It to the shouldeis of
those who cannot partake of any of the
b-aelits. Attention Is culled further to
the fact that while Hi's ' hns been done
at different limes l > y dlifon-nt slates lo
pmtect note holders , In no country and
ju.dor no system has the state gone no
f.'i as to guatantoe the depositor In a
bud ; against the possibility of Io x.
Mill mpie icference to Ihu ni-MsiiUvS of
inspection and publicity that hive been
adopted for the pin pose of mlnlmUhig
and the laws Imposing severe
for the punishment of bank
rlllelnU false to their Is lists cannot clear
the state of all lespoiislblllty for the
bundled * and thousands of Innocent
bulk depositors who have been do-
fianded of the .savings of a .lifetime.
The state's duty does not cease with
passing laws , but extends lo their en-
fonument. Theio Ib no question that
had Uiu bankiut' lau-s ou the &tutut' >
Ixwks in th < -furious slates been mil-
fonnly nndro wlarl.v enforced and tholr
violation /falsification of. books nnd
einbczr.lonuMU 'df ' funds been ilgorotisly
punished "the o would not have
been so niMYyJulned bank depositors
abroad In | jjo .Intnl. Had state bank
examiners Jyji ( ! always appointed with
tegard to th lr'lionesty amt ability and
had they fen'rla sly called derelict bank
olllclals to Millie the moment they dis
covered the , sljghlest thing amiss there
would not Jie so gieat difference * be
tween nssitttt anil liabilities In our
biokon bnnks.
The state may not be under legal or
moial obligations to make good the
losses of depositors * In failed banking
Institutions , but It is morally and le
gally bound to do all It can to pi event
dishonest or unsafe banking methods
and to enforce the penalty of the law
upon all who betake themselves outside
lig pale.

The .summer vacation has become n
fixture on the oalenOar of a large part
of the American people and the number
who have calendais so maiked seems to
be Increasing from year to year. With
certain classes this seasonable hiatus In
their customary woik is the tesult of the
established social or Industrial system ,
The schools , public and private , for ex
ample , ate closed during the summer
months. The courts with their army of
dependents In legal and other Holds In
termit their labots and wait for new
litigation to aecumnlale on their dockets.
A host of other peopleme icdnced at
the same time to comparative Idleness ,
either voluntary or Involuntary , and
while the great multitude of laboiois aie
compelled to toll for their livelihood
whenever and whenever they can get
employment , it Is usually a summer va
cation that falls to their lot If they en-
toy any vacation at all.
Put the suni'mer vacation ought not to
bo wasted or consumed without the
achieving of some peimanent benefit.
Itest and iccupeiatlon ate quite con
sonant with seir-imptovoment and the
accomplishment of good for otheis. The
teacher who spends three months on I of
school without at their expbatlon being
better propaied to re-enter upon the
duties of instiiiction is not making the
most of h's ' oppoitnnltles. The lawyei
or doctor or minister who does not
leall/ojnn his Hummer vacation enough
to put him in bettor condition than be
fore to practice his piofosslon commits
wanton wa4te of valuable time. So
It is with every man , woman and child
who seek diversion fiom their daily oc
cupation. Host does not mean absolute
Idleness nor Is loci cation identical with
dissipation. ( Jivecythlng1 to some useful
piuposo and with latlonal dlieotion the
summer vacation can and should be
made to inureto - both the pleasme and
the ptollt of the individual and of
society. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

the system of making weather forecasts

i.ot O09 the preacher because of thrre high

two weeks to think the matter over. When
ever ho tried to got out It appears he alwajs

that it was only by the utmost strategy that

are worn with white collar and
cuffs they are beautiful in

the material while a very
sheer fabric contains great
merit as to wearing qualities
and the price is one dollar.
Should you want tho' a
colored shirt with collar and
cuffs to match we have some
Gamer percales that , no doubt ,
wou'd ' suit in all requirements
and are the same price , one
