GOTZincEiT Drerrsurcx or rs-
yosrrs. Tka Oahrastoa-DaUaa News baa found
one flnaactal theory advocated by Mr.
Bryaa that It caa Indorse. Wi allnd
to his proposittoa for gorern ment lasar-
ance of National bank deposit. As we
understand It thla form of Insurance
would be compulsory aa applied to Na-
tional banks aad coaawaoeatly a epaelea
of paternaUsta scarcely consistent with
tha political and economic philosophy
our contemporary Is accuatomed to
teach. It cots pares the government In-
surance of deposits aa similar to other
forma of tnaaranca which ara deemed
essential under tba condttiona which ap-
ply to modern business aad UTtng.
Nevertheless tha fact that raaaraaoa aa
conducted by prrejte eatarprtoa at woV
nntary makes K dirferent from tha com-
pulsory system of deposit Insurance
which tha News aad Mr. Bryaa would
hart tha grrrarnment enforce.
In Its erttlciam of Tha Poat'a position
the .News fails to state lta rlews of tba
effect upoa banking generally that tba
proposed law woald hare. There are
til.000.0aa.a04 of bank credits la tha
VnHed States about one-fourth of which
are In tba National benke. Manifestly
the goTernrnent oould enforce lta bank
deposit insurance only upoa tba National
bank. What then would become of the
8tate banks the saringa banks tha
prlrate banks aad the trust companies?
The matter of guaranteeing Stat bank
deposit would be a matter for State
gore meats to determine. How many
State! would ba wilting to undertake
such "deposit Inaarance? Erea If tha
States should follow tha lead of tha Na-
tional government and adopt aa Insur-
ance law would tha depositors have aa
much faith in State iaauraaca as m Na-
tional Insurance?
Of course it may ba argued tha other
banks could take out National charters.
Would that be good for the country?
8uppoee all the depostta of tha country
were aow ander the National banking
laws. Would It not greatly Interfere with
business? National banks must make
abort time loans aad real estate la barred
aa a security for loans. Tha aavtnga
banks. State banks trust companies and
private banks pes flu in functtona In the
bualneaa world that National bank caa
not perform becanae of the leaa flexible
regulations with recmrd to loans that the
latter ara compelled to observe.
If the government la to Insure one's
deposit why not Insure tha farmera'
crops Hve stock and other property ? If tha
gavernmant mast go Into the business of
taking care of the people's money It can
just as well conduct their life and fire
insurance supervlae thetr Industries and
take charge of everything for them guar-
anteeing them against loss from any
cause whatever.
But apart from the paternalistic cast of
the proposed insurance of National bank
depostta let tha advocates of the plan
aay why depositors owning a fourth of
the bank deposits of the country should
receive this guarantee at the hands of
the Federal government while those
owning three-fourths receive no such pro-
tection. And why should the lnstltattoaa
which under present conditions fill a
place ra our financial system that tha
National banka can never fill be placed
at such a disadvantage that loss of busi-
ness would be Inevitable?
The truth of tha matter Is the pres-
ent trouble Is largely due to the fact that
the Wall street banks have been accus-
tomed to violating the National banking
laws aad obtaining the assistance of the
government In every pinch. If the gov-
ernment would adopt a rational fiscal
system collect no more money from the
people than la needed for public pur-
poses compel the banks to obey the law
In every particular Instead of going to
their rescue in every pinch and amend
the law so as to bar from the bank vaults
the fictitious securities whose only mine
is for trambling purposes our financial
affairs woild never get in suck straits
as at present.
It is not necessary for the government
to so into the Inauranre busings Let It
enact goos laws for the regulation of Na-
tional tanks and enforce them to the let-X-T

Official ststistics prepared in Washington
show that in October last the total number
of immigrants admitted tn the United States
amounted to 111513 s gain of 11.5 ;r cent
on the figures of the same month of 1906.
The total immigration for the ten months of
this year is i.ojo.168 breaking all previous
records. Of all the immigrants 77 per cent
landed ia the harbor of New York. On the
other haad the statistic for August last 1 the
latest oekial date) show that 22246 immi-
grants 1 darned home in that month. Of this
number MM returned te Italy 47" to Am-

capital for the hut six years although it has
been ten years since he hagaa to study there.
Mr. Oark.wa an especial protege ef Theo-
dore Thomas late conductor oi the Chicago
Symphony orchestra the greatest music or-
Ianiaation America has ever produced. To
ir. Thomas the baritone ssid tbat he owed
s great deal "In my studies in th early
days of my career. I received much encour-
agement from this leader" said he "who
Jave me as he gave others the inspiration
or a high standard in music and I shall al-
ways remember my friendship for him with
the greatest of pleasure. As s boy I bad al-
ways held him in ths highest of admiration.
Afterward I met him we became fast friends
aad hjf advice always stood me in good stead.
"Theodore Thomas did more to raise music
upon s high plan thsn any other man Amer-
ica has produced snd I doubt if his equal
will ever be realised. He educated th masses
up to his ideal which was for the very best
in music rather thaa cater to ths 'popular'
ides although it required a long while to ac-
complish bis ambition. For years his or-
chestra was a losing proposition from s finan-
cial standpoint though it waa gaining converts
to his ideals."
This is the first visit that Mr. Clark has
ever paid to the South his concert tours
usually extending no further in this direction
than St Louis. So Houston will have the
distinction of hearing him before any other
Southern city. This is the moat extensive
tour that he has ever made in America em-
bracing a aeries of fifty concerts in three
months. 1
"This is rather strenuous for me" said Mr.
Clark "but 1 am enjoying it thoroughly. I
am looking forward with pleasure to my first
apppearance among the people of the South
of whom I have heard so much in a favorable
way both here and abroad. This is my only
stop in Texas as I go from here to New
Orleans."
Julius Wertheira. s young Parisian is Mr.
Clark's accompanist and is with him at the
Rice hotel. He it inspired with the fire of
reniua and hi devotion to the piano which
tie makes express sll of the emotion ir
marked. He spent several hours yesterday
afternoon in Oliver's music store ia the Mason
block practicing. He had an appreciative
audience which included Mr. Clark. The
young Frenchman speaks no English.
"The recent cold weather which is un-
precedented for November has given to ths
boll weevil one of the worst setbacks it has
ever received" said Dr. W. D. Hunter of Dal-
las the expert in charge of the boll weevil
experiments in the cotton growing section of
the United States. Dr. Hunter was a guest
at the Hotel Brazos yesterday stopping here
on his way to San Antonio. He expects
shortly to go to Washington on his annual
trip to the capital. He will confer with the
chiefs in the agricultural department and ex-
pects later to appear before the committee on
agriculture in congress to give special testi-
mony regarding the work of fighting the boll
weevil.
"The cold which killed the cotton also
killed about 75 per cent of the boll weevil in
tile field hibernating. The farmers have a
fine chance to follow up the good work of
the cold weather and giv to the boll weevil
till another setback. If the farmers will do
that there is no reason why the next season
should not be one very abnormally free from
weevil damage."
"What should the farmers do?" was the
query put to Dr. Hunter.
"The fanner can do a world of effective
work in the eradication of the boll weevil by
following up this matter to the extent of
plowing up the plsnts snd burning them.
Many of the weevil were scattered and are
now hibernating among the green bolls that
were not killed by the cold. They will keep
on developing by the thousands to damage
next year's crop unless checked.
"There never wss s time when the boll
weevil was as greatly handicaprd by climatic
conditions as now and the farmer should not
overlook this opportunity to master the situa-
tion." Dr. J. L. Fountain of Bryan who was a
member of the Twenty-seventh Twenty-
eighth and Twenty-ninth legislatures serving
in the house from Braxos county was a guest
at the Hotel Braxos yesterday stopping here
on his way home after a visit to Rosenberg
on business connected with some land inter-
ests there.
The former representstive expects to re-
enter the srens of sctive politics and said
last night at the Grand Central station that
he expected to be s candidate for the senate
at the next election. Dr. fountain is a welt
known farmer being an extensive grower of
corn snd cotton which he declares will re-
main th staple crops of his section of the
State.
