Weaccidently learne) that some par-
ties felt aggrieved at the Star over a
statement, when asked if we charge
for notices that we did, when the par
advertising the function charged an ad-
mission fee or had something to sell for
a profit If there was nothing to sell,
or it was for "sweet charity's" sake
then we treated it as news and wcr
thankful to get it. We have carrie
this statement at ihe head of our edi-
torial eolums for months. When we
give away our space we are giving
away that much of our living. We ar
always glad to help charity to the full
extent of our means, but there is a
limit to even our means.

Everybody is talking about tin
nancial Hurry that is now affecting the
whole United States. We have read
and listened until we have grown wea-
ry, still we are not assured that any-
body knows what is the matter. It is"
stated that there is one and a hall
billion dollars in actual cash and the
banks show they have thirteen billion
dollars of deposits. If these deposit-
ors would all demand their money in
one day only about one in thirteen
woul be able to get their full deposits
or at least it would average up thai
way. The routine of banking is, a
farmer, merchant or a stockman, who
place their money in their home bank,
which the law requires shall always
keep enough ' money on hand
to meet the ordinary demands
of trade. The home bank sends large
amounts of its deposits to, say Wich-
ita, Wichita banks deposit in Kansas
City, St. Louis or Chicago, they in
turn, to banks in New York. Thesf
probably loan this money in large
blocks, or purchase stocks or other
securities, which can not always be
readily converted into cash. A heav\
demand comes ou some banking insti-
tution, they are compelled to call for
help, etc. The people become fright
ened, and make runs; confidence is
shattered, and one after another bank
is forced to the wall. The republican
party has said for years that we have
the best banking system
in the world. We presume it i.s
alright when confidence is alright. We
have no suggestions as to how confi
dence can be maintained at par on a
cash basis, when twelve thirteenths of
the actual business of the country is
done on paper, and paper credits. On
the inside of this issue is an article
telliug what has been done in the west
for the protection of western mone.s
for western uses. Monday, reports
were received that banks all around
were closed. We noticed that the two
banks in this city were open and do-
ing business as usual. This was sub-
ject of much commen*. by strangers
from other cities, which certainly
speaks well for the stability of these
institutions, it is thought that the
worst of this threatened panic is past
and may be history by the time this
reaches our country readsrs.

A (iood Show.
The Franklyn Comedy Co. which
has been playing here at the opera
house all week, isoue of the best com-
panies that lias come to Medford in
years. They gi ve much better enter-
tainments than many of the high,
priced shows. We have yet to hear
of a single knock on their perform-
ance. They give an entire new pro-
gram each night, and from the first
night has grown better. They give
their big show to night (Thursday)
which will probably be the best show
in the city this winter. Admission
will be 15 and 25 cts. with your money
back if you are not satisfied. They
will give shows Friday and Saturday
nights and then go to Pond Creek for
a week The Star can say to the citi-
zens of that city, that every member
of this troupe is a perfect lady or
gentleman and that each and every
act is clean and chaste.

Valley Township Oct., 29, '07.
Mr. Editor
Your writer hitched up his team last
Sunday, took his better half anddrovp
over a portion of Valley township in-
terviewing the people I met in regard
to organizing a township school.
Everybody we met was in favor of the
proposition. So I believe we ought
get right after it. I would like to
hear from different parts of the town-
ship and what the concensus of opini-
on of the taxpayers is.
I don't believe it will cost anymore
to run a township graded school than
the District school now costs. Then
our children can get an education and
be right at home while getting it, and
I think that home is the place for
school children, and especially the
young ladies. It is not so bad for the
boys to fjo away from home, but it i.s
bad enough for them.
Now let us hear your views, if you
are against it say so, and give your
reasons. If you are in favor of the
proposition, tell us about it. If there
is enough in favor we can call a meet-
ing, organize and get ready for next
winter. Respectfully,
Wm. Postlewait.
ADDITIONAL LOCAL
A heavy, general rain commenced
failing here last Thursday evening
Oct. 24, and continued until near Fri-
day noon. In some,parts of the coun-
ty over two inches of water fell, and
about that amount was precipitated
all localities. Monday, of this
week, about midnight, another heavy
rain came which continued nearly all
day Tuesday. The ground was thor-
oughly soaked before and it is now
sloppy. We remember 34 years ag
of asking a settler up in Sumner-co,
Kansas: "When do you expect the
Fall rains to set in? " And he re-
plied: "We don't have Fall or Win-
ter rains in Kansas." We'll bet that
settler has changed his mind in the
last few years, at least.
John R. Hawes, of Pond Creek was
in the city Tuesday and called at the
Star office saying he had not received
the Star for three weeks and wanted
to know why we had cut him off, we
assured him the fault was not in this
office, as his name was on the mailing
gaily and his paper had been wrapped
each week in the Pond Creek bundle.
►Mr. Hawes renewed and had an 08
placed after his name. All papers
from this office are placed in mails
Thursday evening and Friday morning,
should any of our county patrons not
get the Star by Monday evening please
inform us and we will send the missing
copy.
Prof. J# A. Alderson was here yes-
terday. He was delivering 11 head of'
his fine registered cattle to I. L. Baker
southwest of this city for a term of
years. Mr. Alderson has some very
fine short horns and is justly proud of
them.
