GUARANTEED BANK
DEPOSITS.
Mr. D. A. Tompkins, an Author
ty on Finance, Favors Mr.
Bryan's Plan ol Se
curing Bank
Deposits.
Charlotte Obaerrer, August 30th, 1008.
Mr. D. A. Tompkins was asked
yesterday what be thought of the
stand taken by Mr. W. J. Bryan on
the Question of Ruaranteed bank de
posits and what he thought of the
general proposition itself. He said:
"Mr. Bryan's speech upon tne
'subject of guaranteed bank deposits
appears to be ss able an effort as
that gentleman ever made, at the
same time one of the best exposi
tions of the subject that has yet been
offered by anybody.
."Less tnan twenty-nye years gu
there were many people who shud
dered when some one they knew
well proposed to take out life insur
ance. Many a wife positively ob
jected to her husband taking out in
surance for the reason that It seem
ed to her like setting bis life against
money. All this prejudice has now
disappeared and the feeling about
life lnsnranoa is wholesome and
onod. Insurance in other lines has
made progress and is now generally
regarded as yery advantageous. This
tin- moTement to Insure deposits is
as wholesome and rational as Is life
insurance. The objections made to
It ara as much based on prejudice
as any ever made against life insur
ance, v. '
'Let us suppose .that a widow
owns a house. , There are none who

The claim that insurance on de
posits would contribute to reckless

the stockholders stand with the full
amount of their stock and iw per
kmL liattlitr besides between the
officers of a bank, and any encroach-
mant nnoo the deposits. The 8tOC
b cider elect the officers and these,
together with the government super
vision, constitute protection against
reckless banking. The insurance of
deposits will have nothing to do with
it. The following is from Mr. Bryan's
address: .,
"In like manner it might be said
that if all the people were careful
about fire, fire insurance rates need
not be as high as they are, out the
careful have to pay higher rates wan
they should because some are not

too, the cautious are burdened be-
cause some are careless oi mm

'T iha Man of deDOsit insurance,

gives two very apt illustrations of

going to have it in one form or

the country into the hands of the
government and the guarantee
which the government gives is nat
urally the taxes paid by all the peo
ple. If deposits are guaranteed by
the government or otherwise, either
all the people or the banks must
themselves pay the guaranteed pre
miums. "Again Mr. Bryan says:
"The refusal of the banks to per

security to depositors Is responsi ble
for the growth of the sentiment in
favor of the government savings bank
and the sentiment will continue to
grow unless something is done to

party prefers the guaranteed bank,
because it is better for the depositor
and better for the banker it gives
the depositor the security which, he
needs and yet leaves tbs banking
business ia the hands of the banks.
But the Democratic platform de
clares for 'a postal savings bank if
the guaranteed bank cannot be se

9 percent of the voters will by their
balltoa, demand eithat the guaran

Cox, Kltehln and tne People.
Charlotte Newg, September lit
Since the nomination here last
week of Mr. J. Elwood Cox, of High
Point candidate for the governor
ship of this 8tate, the public record
ot this gentleman is coming again
into prominenoe.,
A choice is to be made between
Mr. Cox, and Mr. Kitchin. So far
as personal traits of character are
oonceroed both are gentlemen.
Nothing more. need be said. It is
not against the private life of Mr.
Cox that The News proposes to aim
its attack until the November elec
tion, but against his acta as they
have concerned the people of bis
SUte.
We are confident Mr. Kitchin will
be elected by a large majority, but
when the people of North Carolina
are informed as to the comparative
merits of the two candidates for the
office to which they aspire, we con
fidently believe the Kitchin majori
ty will be swelledxin proportion a
that knowledge becomes more gen
eral. Mr. Cox has s record that will be
injured by publicity, not that it bears
any marks of criminality, but be
es Use every word be has ever spok
en; every act be ha bads affecting
the public, has been detrimental to
the general interests of his fellow al
liens. Mr. Cox has demonstrated him
self to be an enemy of the people,
and a friend of the special interests.
This alone, when thoroughly realis
ed, is sufficient to guaiantee bis
overwhelming defeat at the polls, for
the campaign, both national and
Stats, this fall is a campaign whose
paramount issue is whether the peo
ple shall role, or whether special in
terests shall continue to exert the
lion's influence in business a well
politics.
"Shall the people ruler' That is
a question which free-born, liberty
loving Tar Heels consider par
amount to au other issues. Then,
if this is THE question of the cam
paign, whose election wQl further
the interests of the people most?
Would the voice of the people sound
clearest most powerful nod er s
Kitchin or a Cox regime? That is
the question. We believe the ans
wer is not "Writ in the stars," but
closer at band, where the most un
tutored' may interpret its meaning.

Kitchin has been long in public
life. Daring bis career before the
people he has fought "Special inter
eats." All the trusts realize that in
W. W. Kitchin they have a foe who
knoas no quarter.These interests will
fight him, tor they recognise ia him
an enemy. His every word and
act in public life has been hostile to
the interests of all combines con
spiring aeainst the publio weaL If
Kitchin U elected, bis record proves
that be will guarantee to the people
the continued pursuance of their de
sires. His interests and those of the
people are one and the same.
But what of bis newly named op
ponent? Look for a moment at the
publio record of Mr. Cox, of High
Point Think you that a Cox victory
would mean a people's triumph?
Those who believe thus must shut
their eyes to ths record of this gen
tleman who has become notorious
as a friend of the protective inter
ests; must stop their ears to bis
words spoken io the past in defense
of these special interests.
Listen to a bit of hutory Jo wnich
the name of Cox played a leading
role. It was in May of ths year
1905 that J. Elwood Cox, of High
Point appeared before a special
oommlttee of oongreaa, to give bis
opinion of the fairness of freight
rates obtaining in North Carolina
and the South. It had been alleged
that rates were discriminatory and
excessive, and tbe investigation at
which Mr. Cox appeared a a wit
ness, was for tbe purpose of ascer
taining whether or not the govern
ment should take a band in tbe reg
ulation of these rates. At this
time there was a cry going up from
merchants ot North Carolina, as well
ss manufacturers and all classes of
business men, against high and un
fair rates in this State. For many
years North Carolina has suffered
from these rates, and at length it
was thought that redress was in
sight; that the government would
arise and eay, "Thus far and no
father!" The regulating of these
rates was a matter of Hie and death
almost speaking from a business
standpoint and tbs storm of protest
was from every cUisen of tbe 6 Late
who had suffered because of these
high rates. j
Such was the situation when Mr.
Cox set forth for Washington, rid
ing on a Southern Railroad pass, to
testify regarding rates in his State.
908
What was tbe testimony?
Mr. Cox declared emphatically
against the regulation of freight rates.
urging that the Roads be left alone
to fix rates as they saw fit. ' '
While citizens of North Carolina
aero joining in one loud protest
against unfair and discriminatory
rates, Mr. Cox told the congression
al committee that there was little
complaint; and that in his section
the people weie "Generally Satis
fied will the Rates." ,
This was the nourishment hand
ed his tellow citizens. For bread
they received stone.
When be had opportunity to aid
the people of bis State in a time of
sore need, Mr. Cox, who now aspires
to the highest office of tbe SUte, as
sumed the "Let tbe roads fix their
rates" attitude; denied tbe existence
of a condition against which every
citizen of his 8tate was crying out
8uch is tbs record made by the
gentleman from High Point
This is only one point in tbe com
parisons between the two candidates,
but to every thinking citizen of North
Carolina, we believe it is sufficient
to answer the question, "By whose
election will the interests of thepeo-
ple be served best?"
It's a pity when sick ones drug
the stomachs or stimulate the Heart
and Kidneys. That is all wrong!
A Week Stomach, means weak Stom
ach nerves, always. And this is al
so true of the Heart and Kidneys.
Tbs weak nerves are instead crying
out for help. This explains why
