' more notable than anywhere else, in Wall street, where there Is lively speculation in stocks there would be a willingness to pay higher rates ot Interest for loans, and correspondingly, banks and bankers would be tempted to pay higher rates of Interest on deposits than In places where conserva tive enterprises are the order of the day. What would this mean? Money would go from localities where It ought to stay, would be taken away from legitimate en terprises that are sound and sane, and sent to speculative centers to be Invested and in many lnstancea to be lost, This would be the' result; Permanent, legitimate enterprises would receive a set back; factories which ought to be estab lished and enterprises which ought to be undertaken could not obtain money be cause the -capital of tha communities In which they are located would have been diverted to other localities where the risks are more numerous and extreme and where higher rates of interest would be paid. Under Mr. Bryan's scheme the temptation would constantly confront the over am bitious and unconscrvatlve banker to make loans which Should not be made or to bark enterprises which -ought nut to be under taken In other words, to plunge Into spec ulation as we had It under the greenback erase. Itraponalblllty Essential In Banking". You cannot make the business ot banking normal and as It should be unless there Is an adequate sense of personal responsibil ity on the part of the Individual banker, unless he kpows he cannot lend or Invest Injudiciously without Involving the failure of his bank and the reproach and loss and shame which go with It. Now, If he feels that he deposits of his bank will be repaid to his depositors whether he manages the bank well or ill he will not renounce spec ulation, and he will be constantly Open to the temptations of recklessness and per haps of dishonesty. Again, whnt the depositor wants Is the immediate payment of his demands at the moment it Is made. He wants his money then, on the spot, not at some time later on. No system of guaranty that can be de vised would provldu for the actual and Immediate payment of all demands in a bank situation such as that which we had last year.

The Bryan train had Just come to a halt as the Toft special whizzed by. on Its way from Troy to New Tork City. Judge Taft was in his state room, but several mem bers of his party were on the rear plat form of his car, and besides surprising tho crowd with buttons, gave a lusty yell for the Ohloan. Mr. Bryan quickly saw the Identity of the train and waved his hand In answer to the salutation, and also threw a broad smile at the disappearing train. DOIt.HELLY UPHOLDS PRESIDENT Secretary of General Arbitration Board Takes This Stand, WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-Presldent Roosevelt today made public a long letter from. Samuel B. Donnelly, secretary of the general arbitration board of the New York building trades, in whloh Mr. Donnelly upholds the president in his presentation of the record of Judge Taft as set forth by htm in a letter to P. H. Grace of Bing hamton, N. Y., recently. Mr. Donnelly declares that the president's letter abiy shows-that Judge Tuft is not an enemy of labor." From personal knowl edge of Judge Taft's record as governor ,o the Philippines and in Panama, where he bad extensive relations wjth labor, Mr. Donnelly unqualifiedly supports the presi dent's estimate of Mr. Taft's character. Mr. Donnelly cites an Interpretation of the federal eight-hour law reported In 1907 and Mr. Taft's longevity pay Increase order of that year as Instance's of the Judge's fair ness toward labor. Continuing Mr. Don nelly said: "The professional democratic labor work ers who have been on the Job in all recent campaigns are leading the movement In the east. No spontaneous movement against Judge Taft has appeared among the work ers and none but salaried officers are on the stump against him. Those of us who remember the labor conditions during the last democratic administration are of the opinion that If Bryan is elected ' or the tariff Is revised on the proposed demo cratic plan of 'a tariff for revenue only,' we will all have plenty of time for Jury duty."

BC-TH ring leader ef the night riders In this' section, it is believed Is a prisoner at Cam Nemo. His name Is Garrett Johnson. It la the general opinion that Johnson. If ho can be compelled to talk, could tell mora" about tho recent outrages than any other man under arrest. Not less than forty men alleged to have been connected, actively with night riding In this territory are under arrest, and enough' evidence has already been collected to hang at least four men. John F. Cockrsn, the man captured liter a chase on the lake, has confessed that the night rider outrages have included the whipping of women'. One woman was whipped for leaving her husband and an other for being of til-repute. ; The latest report to reich here from Tip tonvllle Is that Tod Burton, who made a partial confession yesterday, has broken down completely and implicates 800 men from Obion county. Even .the-' oath taken by night riders has been coafessed, though the officiate will not make publlo Its word ing. The seventy or more prisoners now in CAmp are closely guarded and Garrett John son, the alleged , leader, together with his brother Tom, and William Watson, are kept in solitary confinement. The troops will be kept here for some time. . . . BRYAN NOT A VOTECETTER (Continued from First Page.) traditions, true to the people and strong In the confidence of Nebraskans. Journal Bess for Merry. In the ordinary sense of the term, that is not a prayer meeting In progress at the corner of Ninth and P streets. The loud supplications heard there almost every day are to Tom Allen, chairman of the demo cratic state committee. The supplications are from the State Journal outfit.' ' So In one sense it might ' be called a prayer meeting with most unusual fervor. The State Journal outfit has been forced to get down and beg and pray and plead with Tom Allen to keep him from filing a suit to compel the Bryanlsed money-mad sheet to publish the democratic dope per contract. This Information comes straight from the democratic state headquarters. But Tom Allen Is too wise to bring that suit. He has nothing particular to gain by It, because before it could be decided the election wilt have been held. But each morning regularly Tom Allen announces that very, shortly "I shall bring that suit." That is sufficient to bring the Bryanlsed organ around to Its knees. The columns of the afternoon and the morning sheets show the hold Tom Allen has upon this "republican" organ. Dally it knocks on Taft and daily It parades Bryan. Whenever it quits then comes that threatened suit, exposure and worse hu miliation. The Journal, it is reported, has an idea, that it can make its readers believe it did not agree to sell Its space to the democrats if it does , not publish display advertisements fer Mr. Bryan.- In the opinion of republicans who read, or rather take the sheet, tlve Journal has accepted one of Tom Allen's proposals either ?arry out the contract or give Bryan, the best of it. It is certainly not helping the republican, cause. And what is said about the Journal ap plies exactly the same to the Lincoln Dally Star. Its contract with Tom Alien was just as binding. It gets out of pub lishing the prepared dope in exactly the same way. There Is no doubt the exposuro of tiie plan of these two sheets prevented the working of the same game they worked two years ago. They sold apace to op ponents of republican candidates and per mitted these candidates to be vllllfled and slandered. Then when the republi can candidates attempted to reply it cost them to get that reply In the State Journal-News 75 cents an inch and in the Lincoln Dally Star 60 cents. So all that was necessary for the so licitors of these "republican" sheet to do when the cash drawer needed replen ishing was to hunt up a disgruntled dem ocrat and get him to lambast the re publican candidate. When Mr. Republi can attempted to get himself set straight before the people he could do so if he paid 76 cents an inch to the Journal News and 60 cents to the Star. The Journal-News is the outfit that re fers to itself aa "progressive" and "re form" and set out to cut the pattern for all republicans in Nebraska. Only Bryan to Be Boosted.' Here is some Information for the friends of A. C. Bhallenberger. In that space the democratic state committee contracted for in the Lincoln State Journal and the Lin coin Dally Star only Mr. Bryan was to be boosted. No effort waa to be put forth to help out the csndldacy of Mr. Shallen berger. In fact Tom Allen himself gave Mr. Bhallenberger to understand that he as chairman of the democratic state commit tee could do nothing for him. All ot his time and attention, he Is quoted as saying, would be devoted to boosting Bryan. This Is what caused the racket between Allen and Chris Oruenther. The latter in alsted on looking after every one on the state ticket but Allen, who was chosen by Mr. Bryan for that very purpose, refused to look after anyone but Bryan. So Oruenlhor has practically devoted all of Ills time lately trying to patch up an organisation for Shal-lenbi-igr. Right in the headquarters of the democratic committee theie are Bryan men who w.U not hesitate to say that Shallen- berger has no chance of election and noth ing is being done for him except that what Oruenther la trying to do. In fact bryan men are trying to trade off Bhallenberger for Bryan votes. - Frank Brown. Mayor Brown's son, offered to vote for Sheldon If one of Sheldon's appointees would vote for Bryan. An employe in the office of the Commoner has openly stated he intends to vote for ShelJon. S1 friends of Bhallenberger Wirt get no help from Mr. Bryan. Tom Allen has thrown the harpoon into the Alms, man. Of rnurne he has a reason. Shallenberger has little respect for the democratic candidate for president, tie expressed his opinion of him back In 1904. Bryan has never for given tho Alma man for speaking out in meeting the things so many democrats be lieve. And the order l.aa gone out to pay no attention to Bhallenberger. , He worts from Over the gtate. Keports continue to cuius Into republican state headquarters indicating a decisive re publican victory next Tuesday.

Inaaese to Malta Payment ta Tnrkey. BERtjIN. Oct, Il was learned here authoritatively today that the Bulgarian government, In view of the cessation of military preparations on the part of Turkey and acting on the advice of the powers, has decided to release tomorrow the 75,000 re servists who have been held to the colors. It Is hoped that this measure will reduce the tension between Sofia and Constanti nople. SOFIA. Bulgaria, Oct. .-The derision of Bulgaria to disband Its reserves and make a financial compensation to Turkey, was brought about by the presentation of what was practically an ultimatum by Great Brltlan, France and Russia, who were supported by Germany and Italy. Identical notes from the first named three powers Were presented to the Bulgarian government. They demand the disband ment of the Bulgarian reserves within three days and the promise to send delegates to Constantinople to negotiate the question of financial compenaation for Turkey. It wis made clear that on compliance wl'h these demands depended alt hope for the recognition of Bulgarian Independence. In reply to these communications the Bul garian government signified Its willingness to conform to the demands therein set forth. UNITED FRONT-IN DAKOTA (Continued from First Page.) aided In nominating him for the office of governor. Strong; Sapport for Vessey. Those familiar with the Scandinavian character declare that having aided in the nomination of Mr. Veesey they will feel In honor bound to support him at Hie polls. It Is safe to predict that lf Mr. Vessey succeeds In securing $0 per cent of the Scandinavian vote in South Dakota he will be elected governor. That he will secure even a larger percentage Is the confident belief of republicans who are In close touch with political affairs In the state. The vast majority of stalwart and pro gressive republicans are giving the tlckot loyal support. The stalwarts have always prided themselves on their republicanism, and In this campaign will first of all re member that they are republicans who are able to give and receive blows In prelim inary struggles between republican factions. but who, notwithstanding the outcome of these preliminary fights, still are repub licans above everything else and at the election will line up for their party ticket. They realise that the primaries have taken the place of party conventions and that It is the duty of all members of a party to abide by the result of the primary, as only by doing this can party organisa tions be maintained. It is significant of the harmony now existing among South) Dakota republicans. when facing the com mon enemy the democratic party that of the more than 100 newspapers which during the campaign, culminating In the June pri maries supported the cause of .the stalwart republicans, only three or. four are luke- L warm toward the tlRket nominated In June, the remainder having Deen Dooeting,ror ma entire1 republican ticket during the present campaign. ' ' JFnetlonallem Not Apparent. ' Stalwart And' .Insurgent republicans are campaigning together throughout the state, speakers from both factions doing their ut most for the cause of republicanism and to bring about the defeat of the democratic party at the election next Tuesday. The republicans confidently expect to elect more than 100 of the 149 members of the next legislature. The republican vota on Joint ballot may reach as high as 125, with only seventy-five votes necessary to elect Governor Coe I. Crawford, the republican nominee, aa the next United States senator from South Dakota. MR. BE'MMXGTOX IS FRAl'D Man from Wash Inston Claims He is A sent of Republican Committee.

(Special. -Over a year ago , a local company while drilling for oil struck a strong f'ow of gas. The product caught fire and has burned steadily ever since, until a few days ago, when the owrjers of the well capped it off. Several months ago the state authorities became Interested in the matter and made an effort to have the owners sxcp ths waste then, but without avail. Public opin ion was so strong against permitting the gas to burn that It wss finally capped. It la difficult to estimate the amour of gos consumed or Its value, but the flames shot high in the air and the flow of gas never diminished. The one well will supply suffi cient gss to light a town of several thou sand Inhabitants and furnlKh all necessary power for manufacturing- purposes. At this distance from the 'railroad, however, ths product is worth but little. The owners of the well are searching for oil, and not gas, and the other wells are being drilled in the hope of striking the oil sand and without much gas; Cooatr Seat Content. PIERRB, 8. D., Oct.
