Why Refer to Doctors Because we make medicines for them. We tell them all about Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, and they prescribe it for coughs, colds, bronchitis, consumption. They trust it. Then you can afford to trust it. Ask your own doctor. The best kind of a testimonial—- “ Sold for over sixty years.” M KsdsbyJ.O. Ayer Co.. Lowell, Km.

Personally, we would rather run a democratic paper in an overwhelming republican county like Jasper than to be a banker. But as few editors ever develop into bankers, we guess we need not worry about it very much.

JitU God-rich has given out that on the ooldest day of next February that he will aeleot the Fairbanks delegates to the National convetion at Chicago. It might be well for Jim to know that the fellow that used to do that sort of thing for us republicans in Benton is now driving a milk wagon down in the hills of Brown county and that the county, although nominally five hundred republican, has had some of its offices filled with democrats. —Fowler Leader. (Rep.)

As there is fixed purpose among Indiana democrats to make a winning fight next year the necessity for united and harmonious action is everywhere recognized.,. There is going to be no room for the disturber —for the misguided person who turns his guns on his brethern instead of training them on the enemy. It iB not likely, however, that there will be any trouble on this score. Indiana democrats know the value of united action. They remember past victories, aohieved when personal animosities were forgotten and factional differences were buried, and 1908 is to witness a repetition of former triumphs.—Laporte Argus-Bulle-tin.

The new banking law for Oklahoma, wherein is provided a guaranty fund for the protection of depositors in insolvent banks, will become operative February 17, 1908. Its makers believe it 'will make impossible a run on an individual bank and prevent a money panic in the state. Each stßte bank is required to pay the State Banking Board a sum equal to one per cent of its average daily deposits. Whenever this sum is depleted it Bhall be increased by further assessment. When a bank fails the State Bank Examiner steps in and forthwith pays the depositors from the guaranty funds held by the Banking Board These payments become a first lien on tbe assets of the defunct bank. National bankstbat wish to avail themselves of the benefits of the law may do so on a plan agreed upon by the Banking Board, the Bank Commissioner and the Comptroller of tbe Currency of the United states.

Something must be done and that Boon to guarantee greater safety to deposits in bank. The simplest and most effective plan, it would seem, is that first advocated by Hon. W. J. Bryan for the goverment to guarantee deposits in national banks, and the state to do the same in the case of state banks. This would settle the currency question, as there would be no excuse for boarding them. It the goverment were back of the banks the banks would be just as safe and as good as your money, for if your goverment is not financially good your money, which the goverment is behind, would be no good. This plan appeals to ns As a simple and sensible solution of the present financial ills of the country, and in view of the recent financial troubles and currency stringency, we doubt if there will be many people who will now poke fun at Oklahoma’s state constitution, whioh provides for state guarantee of deposits in state banks, mention Of whioh is made in another column. No doubt other features of this “freak constitution, ’’ as Roosevelt and other republican blatherskites were pleased to term it, may also prove very wise measures and show that the constitution-makers—who I were long-headed democrats— I

knew precisely what was “the thing” when they wrote the by-laws of the new state. He laughs beat who laughs last.

Some disgruntled fellows up in Hammond, calling themselves democrats, have started what they are pleased to term opposition to Jamfs K. Risk of Lafayette for reelection as district chairman. The democrats of Jasper county do not look with favor upon any movement of this sort, nor do we believe there are any great number of democrats throughout the district who do. Mr. Risk has made the best chairman this distriot has had in many years. He has been a zealous, tireless worker in the oause and has done more to promote harmony and arouse activity among the democrats than any obaififfiaa we have had in our memory. Not only should he be re-elect-ed distriot chairmain, but it would be a mighty good thing for the Tenth distriot if he should be made the State Chairman. Not for a dozen years has the party been so united as at present, both in onr district, the state and the nation, and the prospeots for the democrats—which mean the people rather then the trustß and special interests class —for winning a great victory all along the line in the next campaign has not been so bright in a great many years. The fellows who are attempting to stir up strife and disoord at this stage should be promptly relegated to the rear, for no go d democrat who desires party suocese and a betterment of conditions will Btart any such movement.

THE OKLAHOMA IDEA.

Washington, D. C., Dec. 21. Oklahoma got into the scramble for financial legislation in the Senate to-day by presenting a bill calling upon the Secretary of the treasury to maintain at all times a reserve fund of $100,000,000 in short-term treasury notes. This bill was introduced by Senator Culberson, minority leader ,on behalf of Senator Owen of Oklahoma, who was absent. It provides that banks may obtain these notes at any time by submitting government bonds or other bonds accepted by the treasury department, and may exchange the bonds for treasury notes up to 90 per cent of the par value of securities offered. The banks sre to pay interest on the notes at the ralb of 6 per cent for the first four months and 8 per cent for the next eight months.

The notes are not to remain outstanding more than one year from the date of issue. As fast as notes are issued from the original SIOO,000,000 the amount is to be withdrawn, always maintaining the original figure. The bill next provides that all national banks in the country shall pay a tax, which shall be turned over to the Comptroller of the currency and held as a reserve fund to guarantee depositors against loss. This section has been demanded by the national banks of Oklahoma.

Under the constitution of the new stjte all banks are required to establish a fund of this kind to protect tbeix depositors against loss. As a result of this depositors in Oklahoma have shifted their- accounts to the state banks in order to obtain advantage of the protective funds. As a result the national banka of Oklahoma have recently appealed to Comptroller Ridgely asking him to establish a similar fund for them in order that they might obtain their share of the banking business in that state. After looking into the question Comptroller Ridgely decided that he could not do this, as there was no section of the national banking act to cover the creation of a fund of this The Oklahoma national banks have now turned their attention to Congress and will amke an earnest effort to have this section of tbe Owen Bill passed. They say they will be’forced to go out of business through lack of deposits if they are not placed on the same footing with the state banks of their section.
