It supported Roosevelt and the progressive party, and has been very fair and friendly foward President Wilson, but on the tariff it has been un- lifiedly in opposition to the Underwood bill. During the fecussion of the bill the Spokesman-Review said: | The Spokesman-Review, however, does not mean that any senator | should vote for the Underwood tariff except those who believe in sone | trade and a tariff for revenue Senator Poindexter of Washington apparently Is one of these. | Though elected as a progressive republican, though publicly pledged by his speeches to the maintenance of the protective policy, he voted with the democrats in the only test vote thus far since the senate Mok up the tariff bill.

J. Born in Germany, 57 years ago, she had plied her needle in this country 24 years, and put each spare penny | a bank. A few weeks ago she had $4,000 and was plan-| with it to return to the little village in the fatherland, wre she could live the remainder of her days in simple ion on the interest. One day she read in the morning papers that the bank | had closed its doors. A trusted cial had siphoned out} 200,000 and the directors weren't able to make the loss Matilda went to her little room near the attic, stuffed “paper in the keyhole and turned on the gas. When found, | she was dead. Eminent experts solemnly assure us that for the gov- ‘ernment to require banks to guarantee their deposits would be a mistake. That it would discourage honesty in bank- “ing by putting careless or criminal bankers on a level with the safe ones. That it would make depositors careless, too, and remove the incentive for them to give safe banks the preference. It may be so. But Matilda thought she had put her Savings in a safe bank. (Government allowed that bank to take her money. Is it too much to ask that bankers who should be taxed to insure that money? Matilda’s friends, if she has any, won't think so. And there are a good many Matildas. SHOULD REACTION come soon, says Boston Advertiser, the: ene man living to whom logic pointe—Mr. Taft.
