Iteese Not Committed.
Opponents of Secretary Taft have failed
to land Supreme Judge Reese In their
camp. A report was started some days
I! no that Judge Reese was In favor of the
program of the "soreheads" and to settle
the matter Judge Reese was called up
over the 'phone and asked If he had com
mitted himself In favor of any presidential
candidate.
"I have not Intimated who I favor for
the republican nomination," said Judge
Reese. "I have been pretty busy and have
not thought much about nailonal politics.
While I can support any candidate nomi
nated by the national republican conven
tion, If the matter comes to a fight In
Nebraska between Taft and LaFollette I
certainly shall be In favor of Secretary
Taft."
Gnardsmen Mastered Oat.
Captain Penrod was here this morning
from Beatrice to discuss with the adjutant
general the matter of mustering out of the
guard the Beatrice- company. Captain
Penrod said the company Intended to dls
band and the talk of the business men of
Beatrice raising money to keep up the
company was hot air, ns practically none
of the business men were In the move
ment to raise the necessary funds. Hie
company receives JJli from the state and
It pays out $t00 annually, which Captain
Penrod said was entirely too much to ask
the members of the company to pay. The
company has a record not surpassed by
any In the guard and for that reason some
of the former members have expressed
regret that It Is going out of the guard.
Ernst on Laundry Bill.
As a result of the laundry bill filed by
Why I Lost
Elly Job
lie sons Why Thousands I.Ike Me
Cannot, Satisfy Their Employer.
"I believe my fate Is not unlike that of
thousands of other workers who dally lose
their places for reasons they do not know,
and probably would not believe. When
their last pay envelopes comes along It Is
usually, "Your services no longer required."
If the truth were known, the reason for
their unceremonious removal would prob
ably be that their usefulness was des
troyed because of some mental worry,
ooany aliment or general Indisposition.
These things, as we all know, are the most
fruitful causes of failure In all walks of
lire. The battle of Waterloo was lost be
cause at a headache. In this quick age
our minds must be clear, rapid, active and
free from outside Influence or worry, or
else we go down to failure with the throna
of "floaters" who go from on place of
employment to another, giving no satisfac
tion to others or to themselves, constantly
growing older and less useful, with no am
bition, no will power, and no hope.
Every man requires from every other
man tue best that Is In him. But no man
can use or get the best that is In himself
until lie Is first free rrom all fretful India
position and worries.

Compared with a year ago. th number
of banks under state supervision has In
creased from 6M to 021. Loans and dis
counts have- Increased W.8b3,SN4.W. or 14 4
fer cent. Available funds, or total reserve
ias increased l,ow,444.. or per cent!
The percent of reserve, however, Is the
same as a year ago, being 31.1 per cent
which is more than double the legal re
quirement. Of this reserve, at this time,
.I per cent was composed of actual cash
on hand in the banks, being .3 per cent
above the legal requirement.
General deposits have Increased during
the year W.tKa. 74.71. or U.9 per cent: the
number of depositors has Increased from
179.9J to 207.469.
While the increase in deposits does 'not
appear so great as during the year HOC.
this, I think, can be accounted for. In a
measure, from the fact that the call for
reporta from which this summary. Is com
piled, was made eonslderably later In the
year and at a time when deposits would
naturally be declining quit rapldlv. This
would partially account for the decrease In
deposits shown since the report of August
31, im, which Is a little heavier than la
usually shown by th statements compiled
from reports In response to the third and
fourth calls of th vear.
Taking Into consideration the financial
convulsions through which the country has
recently passed, this report presenlsVa re
markable showing, and speaks volumes for
th confidence of the people of the state,
and the safety and Integrity of the banks
The banks have come through the recent
so-called money famine with an avera
reserve of more than double the amount
required by law. and with actual cash on
band In their vaults of considerably more
than the law requires, and more than Is
usually held.
The total deposits of all banks of tlx
s'ate. Including national bank, at the dat
of this renurt. was llno.310.419 iM. making an
