Advocates of the poetal savings bank
will find nothing but discouragement
In the Denver platform declaration on
that subject. Mr. Bryan apparently
feels much toward postal savings
banks as he does toward government
ownership of railways. He favors both
propositions, but announces his Inten
tion to try something else first, even
If the plan he Is going to try Is fore
doomed to failure. Mr. Bryans plank
on postal savings is as follows:
We favor a poetal sating bank, If the
guaranteed bank cannot be secured, and
that It be constituted ao aa to kep the de
posited money In the communities wrier-)
It Is established. But we condemn the
policy of the republican party In proposing
postal saving banks under a plan of con
duct by which they will aggregate the de
posits of the rural communities and re
depestt the same while under government
charge In the banks of -Wall street, thus
depleting the circulating medium of the
producing regions , and unjustly .favoring
the speculative markets. I
This evidences democratic Ignorance
or Intent to deceive. Just ertWe demo
cratic platform denounces the repub
licans for refusing to pass a law pro
hibiting corporations from contribut
ing to campaign funds when a string
ent law to that effect had been enacted
by the republican congress and presi
dent, so It also contains the direct
charge that the republicans favor
postal savings banks that would simply
be feeders for the banks in the big
financial centers when nothing could
be farther from the truth. The repub
lican plank on postal savings banks Is
as follows:
We favor the establishment of a postal
savings bank system for the convenience
of the people and the encouragement of
thrift.
Nothing in the republican plank or
In the bills pending In congress for
postal savings banks furnishes any
warrant for the democratic charge that
the republicans are proposing postal
(savings banks "by which they will
aggregate the deposits of the rural
communities and redepoBlt the same
while under government charge in the
banks of Wall street, thus depleting
the circulating medium of the produc-
Jig regions and unjustly favoring the
peculatlve markets." The plan recom
mended by Postmaster General Meyer
makes strict provision against the very
evil of which Mr. Bryan's platform
complains. The bill approved in the
United States., senate provides that
postal savings shall be redeposlted In
the national banks in the Immediate
vicinity of the place where the deposits
are received and shall be held subject
to the .check of the depositors through
the postmaster. The entire purpose Is
to prevent the deposits from being ag
gregated In Wall street and the finan
cial -centers, Just as other legislation
by the republican congress provides
that federal deposits in national banks
be distributed throughout the country
Instead of being congested In N,ew
York and other speculative centers. '
The only policy . the- republicans
have on this subject .is. to encourage
thrift by assured safety of the money
and tc keep the deposits in tjie com
munity" where received. The- repub
licans believe the. adoption, of the
.postal savings system would prevent
hoarding by the small depositors and
thus furnish the surest guaranty
against money panics. The republicans
cannot help it it Mr. Bryan persists In
seeing things that do not exist, but
the public should have some protection
against his misrepresentation of facta.
TUB VKITtD STATES AXt PANAMA.
genor Amador, the president of the
Panama republic, who Is very much
disturbed over the future of his coun
try, expresses the conviction that the
United States has a deep laid plan to
assimilate the republic and make it
a part of the Panama canal zone. This
pessimistic view is shared also by
Senor Arias, one of the defeated candi
dates for the presidency of Panama,
who is certain that the new republic
will be absorbed by the American
government within a year. In an au
thorized interview he says:
When the American government recog
nised our Independence we granted It cer
tain concessions, the chief of which, of
course, waa the right to the territory five
miles on each side of the canal. SI no that
time the Interests of the United States in
Panama have grown so. largely that the
provisions of the canal treaty are no longer
sufficient, and the American government
desire more and more power over the In
ternal affairs of this republic. I am quite
convinced that nothing less than absolute
domination will satisfy the American gov
ernment. Senor Arias supplements his Inter
view with the prediction that a revolu
tion and perhaps a bloody war would
(follow any attempt of tie United
States to increase its authority and
power In Panama. The authorities at
Washington have declined to comment
upon the alarming reports other than
to state that Senor Amador and Senor
Arias are perhaps "unduly excited."
This Is but natural to Latin-American
statesmen out of a Job and Is to be
regretted only on account of the Im
pression such stories and statements
may create In other South and Central
American countries.
No warrant exists for tblelief that
this nation has any ultesfor designs
on Panama or any other country to
the south. It makes little difference
to the administration at Washington
whether Amador, Obaldia, Arias or
John Smith Is president of the Panama
republic so long as a stable govern
ment is maintained there and Ameri
can Interests on the isthmus properly
respected and protected. When the
stability of such government is threat
ened the United States is bound by
treaty obligations, as welt as by Us
canal Interests, to Intervene to the end
that peace shall be restored and order
maintained. Beyond this the United
States has no interest and little con
cern in the affairs of the toy republic.
The American course In Cuba and in
Panto Domingo should be the best
assurance to Latin-America that this
government has no dreams of exten
sion of empire In their direction.
the srrritr.sstox or patkxts.
The agitation for a revision of the
patent laws will doubtless receive an
Impetus by a recent decision of the
United States supreme court holding
that an Inventor, or the owner of a
patent, has an absolute right to let the
patent lie idle, n matter how much
the cost of production of an article
might be reduced by Its use or how
completely - competition might be
stifled by the failure to use the patent.
In the case In question the Eastern
Paper Bag company bought a patent
machine for making paper bags and al
lowed It to lie Idle. The Continental
Paper Bag company began using the
patent and, when sued, offered the
plea that a company which suppressed
a Viseful Invention was not entitled to
equity' powers to aid it in continuing
the suppression. It argued, further,
that the suppression was in restraint
of trade, as it prevented competition
The court held that the inventor had
a right to conceal his patent and to de
prive the public of It If he pleased.
In most of European countries an
Inventor Is required, if he wishes to
retain his patent, to produce the pat
ented article within a reasonable time
and to an adequate extent In every
country In which the patent holds. In
this country, according to the supreme
court's decision, the inventor or owner
of a patent may lock It up in disuse
and prevent others from using it. In
this manner, it is charged, several
large monopolies have profited greatly
by buying patents affecting their busi
ness and preventing their use for com
petition. The telephone and ' tele
graph companies have been charged
directly with having employed this
method of blocking competition
through new inventions and similar
charges have been made against a
number of manufacturers.
The supreme court takes the posi
tion that it is the natural right of an
Inventor or owner to use his properties
or allow it to lie In idleness aa he
pleases. European countries hold that
the public has a right to the benefits
of a useful Invention and the advo
cates of patent reform in this country
favor the European plan. One pro
PQsed remedy would have the govern
ment assume control of all patents,
fixing the royalties to be paid to the
Inventor, but throwing the patent open
for all competitors. This smacks too
much of paternalism, but the govern
ment certainly Is warranted in fixing
a short time limit for forfeiture of pat
ents not put to bona fide use. The
question is one certain to command
more attention from congress than It
has heretofore received.
wnr this discrwisatioxi
So far as can be ascertained, Ne
braska Is the only state In the union
where the Bryanites are playing their
duplex game of pretending to be dem
ocrats and populists at the same time.
Is this a reflection on Nebraska popu
lists, that they alone can be fooled by
this palpable deception, and that the
trick would not work in any other
state? If this deception can be upheld
and defended in Nebraska, why should
It not be practiced by Mr. Bryan and
his friends In other states as well?
Or is Nebraska's unique position in
this respect due to the fact that the law
In this state alone contains a loophole
by which the democrats can crawl un
der the tent and occupy the seats that
belong to the real populists? The
democrats have made the election laws
In a great many, states and if the
double-disguise plan pursued by the
Bryanites In . Nebraska is the proper
plan they should have adopted it in all
these states. They ' claim a special
uatent rlKht on Oklahoma, but no dem
ocratic electors are spuriously label
ing themselves populists in Oklahoma.
When the Bryanites put their elec
tors on the ticket as democrats and as
populists In Nebraska, and in no other
state, it must strike the man with or-
dirary intelligence as a piece of sharp
practice which would not be tolerated
anywhere else and which should not be
tolerated here. It Is an illy-concealed
fraud on the ballot and the law never
contemplates a fraud and ought never
to connive at fraud.
There is opposition among the pol-
icy holders to the construction of the
proposed slxty-two-story building by
the Equitable Life. President Morton
has been telling us how he industri
ously was endeavoring to distribute
investments of the society's money geo
graphically to conform roughly with
the distribution of the society's busi
ness. It strikes us that the erection
of Blx ten-story buildings In the six
principal cities of the country would
bring the society a little closer to Its
policy holders.
Attorney General Thompson's advice
that school districts cannot Issue bonds
to pay general Indebtedness is good
public policy and ought to be good law.
The school district Is justified in issu
ing bonds for permanent Improve
ments, but It ought to make Its current
revenue pay all the running expenses.
In fact, that is a good rule for city,
county and state governments as well.
Both Nebraska senators have been
appointed on the special committee to
represent the senate at the Allison
funeral, but not one of the Nebraska
congressmen Is on the committee to
represent the house. As Iowa's next

braska ought to have been Included In
the selection made by the speaker.
Now, won't our amlaole democratic
contemporary fix up another cartoon

LAST OF TUB TITIAMS.
Trlbate to the Lift Work of Iowa's
Senior Senator.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Senator Allison was the last link which
joined the United States of the civil war
era with the United States of today. When
he entered the House of Representatives
In U63 the rebellion was In its middle stage.
Gettysburg and Vlnksburg were still to be
fought, while Appomattox was far In the
distance. There were only thirty-four
states at that time, and eleven of these
were unrepresented In congress.
Of the men in publlo life on the national
stage when. In 1862, Allison was first
elected to congress, none are now In of
fice anywhere, and few are alive. Lincoln
was then president. Grow was near tin
end of his term as speaker, and Colfax
wav to go to that post in the house when
Allison entered. In one or other branch
of that first congress of Allison's were
Richardson and Trumbull of Illinois, Hen
dricks, Julian and Voorhees of Indiana,
"Jim" I-ane of Kansas, Fessenden and
Blaine of Maine, Reverdy Johnson and
Henry Winter Davis of Maryland, Sum
ner, Wlson, Dawes and Boulwo'l of Massa
chusetts, Zacharlah Chandler of Michi
gan, Morgan and Fenton of New York,
B. Grata Brown and Francis P. Blair of
Missouri, Kelley and Randall of Pennsyl
vania, Bhermcn and Wade of Ohio, and
others who were conspicuous in that tu
multuous period. Of those here mentioned,
all died long before Afllaon.
No man In all our history, not even John
Qulncy Adams or Clay, ever bore a part
in more great national crises than Allison,
or had a hand In shaping more measures
of supreme importance. He was prominent
In the discussions of the great measures
of the war and reconstruction era, he
helped to shape every tariff from Morrill's,
in Its later stages, along to Dlngley'a, and
he shared In the discussion of every big
monetary question from the establishment
of Chase's national banking system In the
readjustment of 1VM onward to the re
sumption of specie payments In 1875, to the
adoption of the limited silver coinage act
of 1878, and to the placing of the gold
standard In the statutes In 10. Though
not brilliant nor picturesque, Allison was
a safe man. Iowa and the country will be
fortunate If his successor shall have as
much sanity, foresight and balance.
OTIIKIl t.AM) Til A OIB9.
To understand the situation developing
from day to day In Turkey It I Important
to keep in mind certain fai'ts. The consti
tution proclaimed by the sultan tinder
compulsion on July 29 Is the same docu
ment which Abdul Hsmld conslgni-d to the
shelf thirty years ago and Is an enlarged
copy f one put In circulation some s xty
years ego tj save the life of Abdul Msdjid
About 90 per cent of the Inhabitants of the
empire cannot read or write and would
not know a constitution from a tourist mi;
of the llarrlman line. What they know
about constitutions Is gathered from the
aggressive young Turks who have bven ex
cluded from the ruling class by the clique
of ancients surrounding the throne. Essen
tially It Is a struggle of the outs against
the Ins, of the progressives against the
standpatters, of the strenuous against the
mossbacks. Like pinst of his predecessors,
Hamld Is naturally a reactionary, a tyrant
by nature and association, responsive to
every suggestion of cruelty coming from
his advisers. Whenever opposition ap
peared which was Inconvenient to exter
minate offhand promises of reform stlllet
the storm. No ruler of his time approuched
Abdul Hamld's lavish output of promises.
So many and varied are they that ome
critics regard Turkey aa the region paved
with good Intentions. For the present the
paper promise of liberty as Turkey under
stands liberty causes national joy. It
promises freedom of the press, freedom of
speech and two houses of parliament, which
will begin business In November. Mean
while the young Turks are pressing their
advantage. They evidently Intend to make
a complete sweep of the mossbacks. Tho
latter are on the run for cover. The sul
tan, while professing happiness over the
change, cannot be as happy as he pro
fesses, for there rises about him the mem
ory of several hundred predecessors of
whom barely hhlf a doien died naturally.
If Abdul Hamld saves his neck In the
present struggle he will have made a rare
record for a sultan.
Coincident wltli the decision of the cir
cuit court of appeals setting aside the fa
mous Standard Oil fine comes a London
doctor with a crown for John D. Rockefel
ler as a guardian of human life. The doc
tor declares that the marked decrease in
the death record of the metropolis is due
to the great increase In the burning of
gasoline by autos and motor 'buses, the
pungent fumes acting as a superior disin
fectant, filling a long-felt want in clearing
the air of germs and impurltio. There
has been a campaign recently against
motor 'buses in London,- the charges
against them being that they are driven
along the streets so as to endanger the
publlo safety; that they create a tremen
dous nolso and make tb'e air reek with a
foul stench. Those who object on the last
mentioned ground are now besought to re
gard the 'buses aa a blessing In disguise.
A board of experts has recently made Its
report to the British government on the
Intemperate character of temperance drinks
sold in the United Kingdom. It finds that
many of the most popular beverages com
ing under this category contain all the way
from I to 13 per cent of alcohol. The Brit
ish taxation laws take no cognisance of
beverages containing less than 2 per cent
of alcohol, but three-quarters of the aam-
pies of temperance drinks examined by the
board far exceeded that proportion. Some (
apparently innocent herb, beers were found
to contain as much alcohol aa claret or
Rhine wine. The English publio has been
greatly surprised by this report and its
capacity for astonishment is proof that
England has had no experience worth men
tioning with "stomachlo bitters." Our gov
ernment, on the other hand, as a result of
Investigation some years ago, found that
gin by another name was drunk in quanti
ties that defrauded the Internal revenue.
e
' OKI age pensions are now a provision of
law In Great Britain. "The act just passed
by Parliament, which becomes operative
January 1, 1908, applies to persons 70 years
of age or over, who have been for twenty
years British subjects and resident in the
United Kingdom, who are not - In receipt
of parochial aid, who are not under con
viction for crime and who have means not
in excess ofv2ti I shillings yearly. Such
persons may receive from the government,
to be paid out of the general revenues, S
shillings a week, or 3 shillings, pence
where two or more persons live In the
same house and are o the pensionable age
and qualifications. The yearly cost of the
act Is problematical, but is estimated at
about $15,000,000. It will not be long, how
ever, before the age limit is crowded down
to 65 and then to 60, and then the cost
would become very great.
The mercantile expert of the Berlin
Tageblatt takes a rather pessimistic view
of future commercial relations between the
United States and Germany, and declares
that It Is hopeless to look for any Improve
ment in the near future. He declares that
there has been overproduction in America
The Importers are awaiting the outcome of
the coming election, and count on a reduc
tion of duty, no matter whether Taft or
Bryan be elected. Until then they will buy
nothing. The Import of German glassware
and china by America has dwindled down
to almost nothing.
