BLOOMINGTON, III., Oct. :. -(Special.) The farmcra out In my part of the coun try are doing more talking about Bryan'a plan to compel th banka of this country to guarantee each other's deposits than about any other plank in the democratic platform, If not all the other planks com bined. Being a plain farmer. I naturally look at this from a farmer"a atandpolnt. When this scheme wss first proposed It looked mighty plausible to me and I aald to rnyslf that It would certainly be a fine thlr.jr for the people to fel they could walk Into a bank no matter how big or how little and plump their money Into It with the comfortable certainty that, to all practical purposes. Uncle Sam was standing right there at the receiving tel. er i window, counting in the money and saying: "I am back of thla proposition and you have my pledge thla money will be (Paid rck to you when you want It." Proposition Attractive at Plrat. Thla Is Just the kind of . a vision that comes before your eyes when you read the democratic platform and read or hear tho speeches of Mr. Bryan, Senator Gore of Oklahoma and the rest of the ailver- tong-ued- spellbinders of the democratic ranks. And by talking with my neighbors and friends and listening to the discus sions on the streets and In the stores of our town I have discovered that I am not the only republican who felt, at first blush that this scheme for guaranteeing bank deposits was about the most plausible and perauaslvb thing that tho4 political plat form makers, have aprung on ua for a long time. But the only thing: that troubled me right ut the start, before I aettled down to think the thing out for myself, was the source from which the proposition cornea. While It looked mighty good to me, I could not help but remember It waa offered by the same man who had tried to work off on the American people a whole lot of other allyer-plated political novelties, like the 16 to 1 automatic cash coiner and the simple little device for tho regulation and control of railroads whereby Uncle Bam was to be the greatost superintendent of the big trunk lines and all the amall roads wore to be parceled out to be run by the various states. Recalls Bryan'a Former Fallacies. Tt has been rreatedly said that Mr. Bryan possesses a marvelously simple and childlike nature nnd that he will never grow old. When I think of hla proposition to parrel out the control of tho great rail road propertlea of this country along the lines laid down In that big speech of his, which he made In New Tork after his re turn from Europe, I am ready to believe too much cannot be ssld on the score of his simplicity, Ms chlldllkeness, and hla In ability to grow up Ho, I Bay. even at the outset and while I liked the looks of this scheme to guaran tee bank deposits by an act of congress, I could not get away from the fact that I'd a good deal rather have the proposition handed out to me by some persons who had not atooiT on the street corners, under a gasoline torch doing sleight-of-hand tricks and selling political novelties that were run down, out of date, and on the retired list In less than twelve months from the time of offering This unusual feeling about the source of the suggestion forced me to sit down and hold a session with myself to see If this offering from Mr. Bryan was the real thing this time or just another silver plated po litical novelty that looks mighty fascinat ing under the flare of a gasoline torch, but han the same Incompetent Insldes under neath the plating that Mr. Bryan'a other dream packages have contained. Blestest Faileres Political Banks. The flrat thing that came to me out of my cogitations was the fact that it la a mighty big and ticklish proposition to Jump right In and put a political saddle on tho back of every national bank In the country. It occurred to me, offhand, that the biggest banks that have gone to smash of lata years have been what the newspa pers have called th political banks those I whose officers have close political associa tions and have mixed politics with bank ing. Home Instances of wrecked banka of this kind that come to my mind on the spur of the moment are th Walsh banks in Chi cago, the Dougherty bank In Peoria and the Allegheny National bank. If this Is fair sample of the kind of mess which comes from mixing politics with banking t want to keep my own money as far away from the bank that la traveling under a political aaddle aa I can, and it seems to ma there la no us denying th plan pro posed by Mr. Bryan and his followers will put -the banks under th political aaddle to a much greater extent than they now are. Proposition Merits Careful Htndy. Again, when you coma to think of it soberly, this scheme to jump In and compel the banks of the country to guarantee each other's deposits is fooling with a mighty big proposition; for the deposits In national banks alone averaged last year tt.319.U3S.OnOO. It Is the bigness of the thing Itself and the consequences Involved in any kind of a plan to tinker with It that should make every sane man in the country stop short and ask himself the question: Has this thing ever he?n tried out? It was that question which brought me up standing. Right then and there I began to do a little thinking and a little lnvestlgat Ilia. For one thing, I found out that the average annual percentage of loss of de posits In national banks, ream 18H5 to 196, compared with the average annual deposits, is only one-twentieth of 1 per cent. Now, that looks to me as If the national banks are doing pretty well Just as they stand, and that their depositors are not entitled to do much kicking on the score of security. When you compare thla with the percentage of loaa which men have to Buffer In bustnosk and other Investments In which they put their money, it looks decidedly sniall. But the kernel of th whole business seems to me to be that to endorse Mr. Bryan'a plan is to run contrary to every rule and law of common sense and ordi nary business prudence and put our whole capital, so to speak. Into something which has not been tried out first and about which no one knows anything from actual experi ence. If a farmer went ahead and put In his crops and kept hla liv stock on this principle he would be the laughing stock of the whole community. Take th matter of wheat, for example: tContlnued on Second Pag.! tyoafl From The Tacoma Ledger. CORN SHOW GETS LOW RATES Secures Fare of One and One-Third for Round Trip. MILWAUKEE GIYES OUT NOTICE Corn Show Manas-era Underetand that This Means the. Action of tho Western Passenger Ao tlon Lines.' The National Com expcsttlon, which opens In Omaha December 9, will be able to offer to lta patrons a round-trip faro of one and one-third. Thla concession has been made. It Is un derstood, by ell file Western Passenger association railroads. The Milwaukee road haa positively announced It. Yesterday General Passonstee Xit - M"ler wired row. Chicago to "Die office ,r Cnalta: . "Our rate for the corn show will be one and one-third fare for the round trip. Limit about aa requested by the corn show people." It Is believed this notification of Mr. Miller's rflecta the action of all the roada and la but the forerunner of similar an nouncements by the others. The news Is teeeived by the corn show mann-rer with much gratification. Last week C. C. Rosewater, J. Wilkes Jones of the exposition and J. K. Buckingham, as slstant general passenger agent of the Burlington, went to Chicago and had con ferences with the pasuenger representatives o fthe roads on this subject and received favorable consideration. Messrs. Roeewater and Jones laid great stress upon the Im portance of securing favorable rates and were accorded the most encouraging re ception. In fact, they came laek to Omaha believing that they would certainly get tho rates. So, whilo the announcement of the Milwaukee comes a day earlier than was expected, the corn show managers are elated. They count this one of tho really large agencies that will count in the re sults of the exposition. Without reduced passenger fares It Is admitted the exposi tion would lack one of the moat important elements of success. These rates, spread out In blanket fash- Ion over the vsst territory covered by the Western Passenger association roads, will apply to millions of persms and cover the corn belt thoroughly. CHANGE IN ARMY COMMANDERS General Carter Mar Sneered General' Morton la Omaha First of Tear. Th contemplated change In military de partmental commands that have been In abeyance for over a year are liable to take place about January 1. 1909. These changes contemplate th transfer of Brigadier Gen eral W. H. Carter, now In command of the Department of the Lakes at Chicago, to the command of the Department of the Missouri at Omaha, with the transfer of Brigadier General Charles Morton to' the command of th brigade post of Fort D. A. Russell, Wyo., and contingently upon hla later assuming commund of the Depart ment of Colorado. This general change was announced a year or more ago and rested upon the re turn of Major General Ionird Wood from the Philippines. General Wood was to have relieved Major General Fred D. Grant in the command of the Department of the Atlnntlc, and General Grant was to go to Chicago to assume command of H De partment of the Iakes, relieving General Carter, transferred to the DeivartnierX of the MIsHouri. General Wood lius been on leave !n France since his rHurn from the Philippines, and Is now abcut due on his return from hi leave to assiun- command of the Atlantic department.

Two years ago tha State Journal did It: the Lincoln Newa did It and the Lincoln Star did tt. At that time not only was Congressman Pollard abused In bought space in these sheets, but Frank Tyrrell, republican nominee for county attorney, was abused and villlfied for day. Of course the stuff had little effect, be cause the people knew the papers had sold the space. It makes no difference how good a man Is to these three papers.
