In view of the wide spread and unusually large investments made in lands and otherwise, it would be natural 1o expect an unusual heavy drain on the deposits of the banks of the state; such does not seem to have been the case, as he decrease from the statement made Feb- ruary 12, 1910, (the date of the high water mark for deposits In the history of the state), shows about $1,000,000, and the in- creass over a year ago 1s $4,481,278.45. In the loan item the increase between this and the previous call s $1,712,131.77, and be- tween this and a similar statement a year ago shows an increase of $5,866,780.64. The fact that this statement is made at the) close of a period marked by unusually heavy investments, the showing ls cer- tainly gratitying.

The State Farmers' Mutual Hall insur- ance company of Waseca, Minn., has been donled permission to do. business In Ne- Lraska by State Auditor Barton, econ: quently it has no authority to do bus! ness in this state. The auditor says that any one solipitiig business for this com- pany lays himself laible to prosecution and those who take out insurance In this cof- pany and sustain a loss have no recourse in the Nebraska courts and the settlement will he entirely optional with the company. Must Make Correct Change, The state rallway commission has fs- sued the following letter to the officlals of all rallroads deing budiness in Nebraska: Occasional complalots reach the commis- slon that more than the statutory rate of two cents per mile Is collected from pas- sengers traveling between points in Ne- braska, rlh.r by reason of alleged in- ability of statlon agents to make correct change or through conductors pulling an excessive number of miles from mileage books. The amount involved In each of these complaints Is usually very small and indicates fault on the part of the employes rather than willful violation of law by the rallroad company. Although the two-cent passenger rate law lmposes a heavy penalty upon any rallroad corporation vioclating sam the coromis- slon does not desire to institute such pros ecutions except fu cases where It appears that willtul violations have been committed. The law's provisio are, however, very strict, and should complaints continue to be filed, it will be necessary to make an example of some offending carrier or em- ploye or both In order that this course may not be ade necessary, it is suggested that posi- ve Instructions be lssued to all agents and conductors, cautioning them against the collection of ‘more than the fixed Il clroumstances. by law under any r School.

LINCOLN, June 7.—(Special)—F. W Brown, former mayor of Lincoln and Mr. Bryan's personai representative the resolutions committee of the late demo- cratlc national convention, Is unalterably opposed to the Oregon plan of choosing United States senators, which was enacted igto a Nebraska law by the late democratic 1égisiature, Y1 have been approached to run for the senate In this county,” sald Mr. Brown, and 1 have told those who have men- tioned the matter to me that if it were necessary to pledge myself to vote for the candidate for United States senator who recelved the highest number of votes at the polls in order to be elected, 1 would not be a candidate, “I cannot concelve how could make such a pledge. to the minority party too long to give up the principles 1 have fought for in order to get a little office. I could never stultify myself by agreeing to vote for a candidate for the senate who fs in favor of a high tariff. I would not object to voting for & demecrat who stood for democratic prin- ciples, but I would never sign a pledge to vote for a republican who stands for the things which the democratic party fought all through its existence. How many democratic candidates for the legislature will sign that pledge and agree to vote for a senator whose principles are just the opposite from the things his party has been fighting for, ot course, 1 do not know, but it seems to me the candidates should give this question serlous thought before sign- ing up. Suppose the corporations of the state should get behind a senatorfal candi- date, It would not be such a hard matter to get him a majority of the popular vote if he belonged to the majority party. What democrat would vote for such a candldate? What good democrat who belleves in dem- ocratic principles would agree to vote for such a candidate? The law s wrgng in principle and as a self-respecting democrat 1 would never agree to its terms if I were a candidate. Mayor Brown Is not only a close confl- dentlal friend of Mr. Bryan, but he fs on Just as close confidential terms with Gov- ernor Shallenberger. The chances of the governor going to the senate practically fade away If the Oregon plan is agreed to by a majority of the legislative candidates, while Mr. Bryan will be forced to the neces- sity of making a campalgn If he goes to the senate under those circumstances. The governor has been anxious for the former mayor to run for lieutenant governor, but 80 far Mr. Brown has made no effort to get his name on the ballot. If the governor should be re-elected and & democratic legls- lature, unpledged, Is elected, then he holds the whip hand in the senatorial matter, so his friends insists, and in case of &\ dead- lock, Mr. Bryan's election would be a cer. tainty, his friends say. So the mayor's statement Is liable to be very popular in certaln quargers. Danes Celebrate at Dannebr ST. PAUL, Neb, June 7.—(Speclal)—The usual 5th of June celebration (in commem- oration of the promulgation of the con- stitution of the kingdom of Denmark on June 5, 1849), took place Saturday at Danne- brog, the Danish center of this county.
