As Is well known, the Fowler cur rency bill of the past session of Congress contained provision for tho establishment of a guaranty or co-ln eurance fund to protect bunk de posits. Discussing the bill before the House committee on banking and cur rency, former Secretary of Treasury Lyman J. Gage had this to say upon the subject: "The stumbling block In the bill to most everybody, at first blush. Is the guaranty of deposits. 11 stumbled me. I fell right down over that. I said never, never; no, that won't do. You are not going to make a black man sh good as a white man by just washing him. But I reflected on this. I Ktudled this bill, and I am per suaded that It Is just, equitable, wlae and right that the creditor of the banks which come under the provisions of this bill Will huve- their deposits guaranteed to them as will be the bank's circulating notes held by the general public. The na ture of the obligation from the bank Is exactly the ssme In principle, whether evidenced by a pans hook or th bank' notes In the form of clrruluting money;' may be urged that the man depositing I had the riTbt of selection, imd he acted ' upon nm own vomion. our wnen lie xock the ivte be was under coercion. There Is a certain plausibility lis the argument, but where there Is only one or two banks, or only three banks, there is not much right of choice when a man is under coercion of a business nerejislty." Mr. Gage's established reputation for conservatism anil experience in banking matters needs no more than to be mentioned. And he Is not the only banker of this high class who, from an honettt doubter, became a thorough convert once he had studied the question. There are many such, including men like former Comptrol ler of the Currency Charles O. Dawes and, we believe, former Secretary of the Treasury Llle M. Shaw. The present Treasury officials are, of J course, subject to political necessities which lead them either to diluent or remain silent. We recall, In this con nection, that President Roosevelt whs among, or at least let hlmneif be counted among, the friends of the bank deposit guaranty idea when the Fowler bill was pending; lie may j personally be among them yet. Xot j only In Kansas, where the Republican btate platform declares for bank ; guaranty, but in the country at large, especially the Middle West. Republi can leaders apparently find them selves embarrassed by their own per sonal convictions as well as by a well founded belief that the negative of this question is politically loaded.

Houston Post and other newspapers are falling upon The New Tork Times for proof of the genuineness of the alleged Cleveland, Article in indorse ment of Mr. Taft which It published several weeks ago. "While the article, even if genuine in certain sense, comeg with little or no real authority -we have already undertaken to show how Its publication under' the circumstances did Mr. Cleveland' memory great Injustice -tha reasons for believing; It altogether spurious are strong; and will not down. Thus far The Times has persistently ignor ed the doubts widely expressed. The Observer,! not one of these who, like The, Courier-Journal. , question The Times' good faith In publishing .the article, and' it therefore adds Its' voice with the ,more vigor, to the call for evidence. Perhaps --The- Times has good reason for believing itself to have been the victim ot, a literary fprger and prefers silence on this account, but iniso important a matter the demands of truth should come first. There are, in fact, gentry who forge articles, letters, old books, and old newspapers, and derive much occasional profit from their activities. If it were once shown that S. Milling ton Miller, of fame; chiefly as the forger of a Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence evidential document (newspaper), had any hand whatever In the Cleveland article affair, our questionings would require no further answer. Since the above was written there has come, to hand a brief New Tork dispatch stating that The Times yes terday published a communication from Mr. Cleveland's executor declar ing the article a fraud in its entirety. We await details with much Interest. TEXTILE BODIES tfTILL APART. The proposed and at present much- diHcussed amalgamation of the Amer ican Cotton Manufacturers' Associa tion, predominantly Southern, with the National Association of Cotton Manufacturers, predominantly North ern, does not seem to be making rapid headway. "We are in close touch with the officers of the American Cot ton Manufacturers' Association and the men who direct . It. policy " states j The American Textile Manufacturer, on this point, "and we are positive that ih.r. -in k. .m.irgmiiiin 11 1 0ur ,rade. contemporary believes that j an annual Joint meeting, or a Joint : meeting of the two boards of govern- J ors, would be agreeable to the Amerl can Association, but expects no further steps toward union any time soon, j Its view of the situation Impresses j us as substantially correct. While! many, with excellent reason, hold that existing State associations can give local Interests proper attention and that the manufacturers should not dl- ' vide into two principal bodies along Hoctlonal lines, there are many others ' who hold differently. The proposed amalgamation must wait a little long er upon men and events. It belongs j to the future, but Is not quite at hand, j 'I At prices howsoever low, it Is a fact that demand for cotton yarns has lately assumed new activity. With this situation existing, better prices would seem to be inevitable be- ! fore long. One mill after another In Xorth and Routh Carolina.

This, from The j Chattanooga Times, is an appreciated compliment, and we confidently trust tliat If the occasion comes events will ) show it to have been well deserved, I Governor Haskell is very little to blame for showering abusive epithets upon President Roosevelt The Presi dent of the United States should be absolutely exempt from such attacks, but when he makes them upon others he cannot expect others to forbear making them upon him in' return. The chief pity of it all is that In his person a high office has descended low descended, for the time being, into the very mud.

' The landmark mentioned recently that tha Stat. Hospital iMn'ai , l.VSV i e , -"...I Morganton. Tha reason given for the refusal was that no more expenditures would be made at Morganton until the Bute Hospital at Raleigh was provid ed with facilities equal to those at Morganton. The State Hospital Commission, it will be remembered, was created -by , Rn act ot the "t Legislature and is additional facilities for the Insane. There was not, as wo understand It, any direction as to whether more money should be spent at Raleigh or "k iwiuiuu, out uw.inuney was provide for the insane of the State. That being so, it would seem that the money should be expended where the need is greatest. There is no doubt about the pressure for accommodations at Morganton. There are at least 200 Insane men in the Morganton district who should be in the institution but who can't be accommodated for lack of room. These insane men are in jails, county homes or private homes, or at large, a menace to thoss with We don't know wh.thar th nren-1 could not be accommodated there, was sent to Raleigh. It is reasonable to assume from this that there is more room now at Raleiah than at Mdrirantftn For Ju,t and nrOD,r romBialnt that more accommodations should be nro- Vlded for the lnn Whr. th it L7,?lature created this Hospital Com- mission and appropriated a half mil lion dollars to provide for the in sane, there was general rejolcjng and the Legislature was congratulated. Now when application for the recep tion of a male patient at Morganton) la turned down the people do not un derstand. ' They were told that ample provision would bo made for all. Were thev deeelved? Thev ho,.!r1 know the facts . At this time there are in tho State Hospital at Morganton 1.237 patients, 546 men and 691 women. For some years there has been more room for women than for men and the Institu tion can now almost accommodate all the female patients applying. The directors have in recent years built two colony houses (cheap houses), which accommodate 100 additional patients. One of these houses was built with money appropriated by the Legislature for the purpose and one was built from the'savlngs of .the ap propriation made for the general sup port fund. In view of the pressing need for space for male patients (ap plications are turned down at every meeting), the Hospital Commission was asked for $30,000 to build a colony house to accommodate 100 male patients. The request Was re fused for the reason stated.

The 14, The 000 invested in land by the commis sion is of no value because they re fuse to put a building on the land. But while refusing to give $30,000 for a building at Morganton for 100 patients, the commission has expend- ed $$0,000, nearly three times as much, on a building at Raleigh that win accommodate only 100 patients. The commission has expended at Ra lelgh. In buildings, etc., $115000 and has contracts for $160,000 adalWona); it has expended at the hospital for the colored insane at Qoldsboro $$$, 000. Up to the present It has gjven the Morganton institution only $25,- ooo lor a building for nurses, which whn completed (about November ,w 1room th Institution tor, 10 additional female patients. uu!a i.vvv jur ianu which is of no value because the com mission refuses to build a house on it. Thst is to say. $29,000 at Morganton (counting the land at present useless) against $26.000 spent and contracted for at Raleigh and $32,000 for the negroes at Goldsboro. We have no criticism of the expenditures at Ra leigh or Qoldsboro if they were nec essary, as they no doubt were, but we invite attention to the contrast and especially to the fact that it takes $1)0,000 for a building to provide for 100 patients at Raleigh as against $25,000 to $$0,000 to provide for a similar number at Morganton; and it may be said In passing that the per cspita cost of maintenance at Mor ganton Is $25 less than at Raleigh. If tha commission will givo the Mor ganton hospital directors -$80,000, which has provided for only 100 pa tients at Raleigh, we undertake to say tbey will provide for tho 200 In sane men in tnis aistrici wno snouia under treatment at J ROW.

The institu tlons belong to the whole State and all nvHln. ihm ths neonle are providing the money. Therefore this Idea of the majority of the com mission (Mr. Charles A. Webb, of Ashaville, favored the Mor ganton appropriation and Mr. 3. H. Weddlngton, of Charlotte, would have fevered It bad he been present) that the Raleigh Institution must be mads equal with the InsUtutlon at Morgan ton before any more money is expend ed at the latter, wlU not we think, stand before the people. The Idea of the Legislature was to proud room where it was tnot needed and that is ths idea, of common sense-' At the present rate of expenditure the half million' will soon be gone (over half of it has already been given and con tracted for at Raleigh) and there will be no relief for this western district The Landmark respectX.ul sub li mits to tho fair-minded "people- of the State, and esDeciallv the people of this western district, that the treatment accorded the Morganton InsUtutlon Is unfair and unjust, to say the least. .

PASSES) CP TO CY IXrO. .-ir. jucjnil, lavin lupenniCTliea Xr Cannot Settle the Goose Laying Question. To the Editor of The Observer: In to-uay's issue ot The Observer X notice that you reproduee an article from Tho Monroe Enquirer, in which it appears that I have been appointed "referee" to settle the mooted ques tion ot whether or not a "goose lays eggs in September." In the first place, I wish to say that The Enquirer is mistaken about my 'having admit' chasing geese P and down the hlatorlo banks of old Goose creek, Ru.be Lenvmond Is the author of this story and, for the dissemination ot which, I hereby assign Mm to his proper place In the Ananias Club. As to the question referred to me, the name is passed, on to Cy Long for a full and correct answer. Cy is an expert upon all matters arising out side of the recorder's jurisdiction, and especially of all "rural questions." As evidence of the fact that Cy Is authority on gooseology, I cite the cir cumstance that he was "fetched up" on the "vlne-kivered" banks of Duck creek. I also take the liberty of re ferring another question of equal im portance to this specialist. The ques tion is this: "Do geese sleep?" - By way of apology for passing these scientific questions to the 6age of Duck Creek," I call attention to his wise remarks upon the "country boy's euperior advantages" which were published in the city papers a few days ago, every word of which, I enthusiastically approved. And for Cy's encouragement and guidance in reaching a scientific solution of the questions submitted, I will observe,. that, since the advent of automobiles, aeroplanes, skyscrapers and appendi citis, I would not be at all surprised if he did not And, upon .investigation, that geese now lay eggs the year round. As for myself, I wish to say that since moving to Charlotte I have experimented only with "goslins" and I find that they do not lay eggs at all. Take the case, Cy', and make up your verdict. Respectfully submitted, J. D. M'CALL. Reduction in Letter Postae. Chatham Record. It haa been officially announced that on and after next Thursday, October 1st, the rate for letter post age from any place In this .country to any point in England, Scotland. Ireland or Wales will be the nine as that charged for local postage in the United etates. The rate -will then be two cents an ounce Instead of five cents as it is at present. Tne fact that a person in San Francisco will soon be able to send a letter Lon don, six' thousand miles away, for only two cents seems hardly possible and is only made so now .by the great volume of business which Is daily transacted by mail ibetween this coun try and the "mother country." This great redaction in postage fr snoh a distance is in striking contrast to the rate charged in this country within the recollection of persons now living when it required 26 . cents to carry a letter between some noints in this State and 60 cents from, here to New fork. .
