Attorney General Bonaparte of President Roosevelt's cabinet has decided that the national banks, under the federal banking statute as it stands, can not take advantage of the Oklahoma law guaranteeing de-, posits. That Is hard on the national banks of Oklahoma. People prefer to put their money where they can get it when they go after it. And that is what they can do when they deposit in a bank operating under the Oklahoma guaranty law'. On May 21 the International Bank of Coalgate, Okla., went into the hands of the state banking commissioner. Within one hour afterward the following appeared on the bank's front door;

• NOTICE * • This bank in In the hands of * • the State Bank Commission- • • er. Depositors will be paid * • in full by the State Banking • • Board. * • Please Call and Get Your * • Money. * • H. H. SMOCK, • • Bank Commissioner, * V State of Oklahoma. * • May 21. 1908. *

For a paper that 1b being operated through the United States court, the Indianapolis Star is singularly reckless of the truth. For instance, the Star quotes a flippant thing from the Boston Herald and says that the Herald is a Democratic paper. This is not true. The Boston Herald is not a Democratic paper and the Indianapolis Star knows it, if it knows anything. But this is only a small illustration of the court journal’s political methods.

To make use of the classic language of the Hon. Joe Cannon, there was a "wide space between the government’s waistband and the bottom of its vest” for the month of July. In other words, the government spent during that month $24, 800,000 more than it took in. And that is going some, even for this extravagant administration.

With Mr. Bryan and Mr. Kern both speaking at Indianapolis on the 25th of this month, it is a sure thing that there will be a lot of Democrats in that city on that day: From all reports there will also be hundreds of Republicans and independents who will be scarcely less enthusiastic for Bryan and Kern and Tom Marshall than the Democrats.

The Cincinnati Enquirer says that the party lash has been wielded with telling efTect on the captains of industry, with the result that they are all yelling for Taft. The Enquirer is wrong as to the reason these “malefactors of great wealth” are so enthusiastic in their support of Taft. They are scratching Taft’s back because he will scratch theirs if he gets a chance, which he will not.

For a paper that is being operated through the United States court, the Indianapolis Star is singularly reckless of the truth. For instance, the Star quotes a flippant thing from the Bostpn Herald and says that the Herald is a Democratic paper. This Is not true. The Boston Herald Is not now and never was a Democratic paper and the Indianapolis Star knows it, if it knows anything. But this Is only a small illustration of the court journal's political methods.

The New York World is printing short letters from the people as to their presidential preferences. Out of twenty-four such letters appearing In one recent issue sixteen favor Bryan and the others scatter.. Some of those who declare for Bryan say that they did not support him in previous campaigns, but have since come to the conclusion that the welfare of the country demands his election. It is apparent that what used to be called “the enemy’s couptry” is preparing to give Bryan and Kern a tremendous vote.

The Indianapolis News (Rep.) declares that no influential Republican politician can be convicted of crime in Marion county. It must be assumed, therefore, that because the president of the board of commissioners of Marion county was acquitted the other day of a charge of accepting a bribe in the purchase of boilers from the Atlas Engine Works that the people of that county are satisfied. On the contrary, they are more determined than ever to clean out the courthouse from top to bottom. Nothing can save the Republican gangsters when the voters get a chance ab them at the polls In November. ..■III ■■■■■■■ I maw 0 A Washington dispatch says that the Republican officeholders’ organizations in that city are arranging to send 25,000 home to vote in November. Most of these men have been living in Washington so long that they have no tdentity wfith the affairs of the community in 1 which they originally lived. They belong to the class which, as declared by a newspaper, have “built up a lot of officeholders' organizations which are using their influence to get their salaries increased, thus adding to the burden of an already overtaxed people.’’ They will all come back shouting for a continuance of prosperity,” which, so far as they are concerned, only means that they want to hold their jobs.

OKLAHOMA WINKELRIED.

Indianapolis News (Hep.). Oklahoma seems bound to be in the forefront of Democracy’s attack on Republicanism this year, and elected, like Arnold Winkelried, to gather all the fiTst-thrown spears into her breast. Less classically. Oklahoma may be termed “the fall guy in the fall campaign. The state may be confidently expected to remain in the limelight up to the very last, while the picturesquely

pugnacious Mr. Haskell remains as her Governor and the treasurer of the Democratic committee. Just now her bank guaranty law is under fire. Attorney-General Boneparte’s opinion that national banks can not place themselves under the law without risk of losing their charters, has been hailed in many quarters as line material for Democratic campaign speeches. Let its significance not be misunderstood. If such a restriction upon national banks exists in the law there-vfas no course open to Mr. Boneparte except to pronounce the necessity of obedience of his action. It was expected six months ago that antagonism between State and national laws would develop. Why the opinion was not rendered much earlier is interesting question. Mr. Cortelyou asked for it in March. During the interval fifty-seven 'of the one hundred odd national bankg of Oklahoma have availed themselves of the opportunity (It is optional) of contributing to the State guaranty fund. These fifty-seven banks must, presumably, now ask that their contributions be returned to them. Some will suffer loss of the

interest on these amounts. Nevertheless, this also is not the factor which is causing these banks and all the others the greatest irritation at the decision. Once passed and in operation, the guaranty law is mighty in its effect upon the minds of depositors. No bank without the backing of the guaranty fund can compete with banks whose depositors are absolutely secured against loss. This is not an argument of politicans, but the unamimous admission of bank officers themselves. The national banks of Oklahoma therefore are face to face with greater losses thftn those of the State funds. They will tlie money of private depositors slipping away from them. So it is likely that the Democrats will find oite of their novel planks carried higher in popular favor. The query of the Republican Secretary of the Treasury and the answer of the Republican AttorneyGeneral have forced the issue. Oklahoma's Governor welcomes the challenge, it is reported, and feels that the State is to be proud of its place in the forefront of battle.

MR. KERN’S NOTIFICATION

The committee appointed by the Democratic National convention to formally notify Hon. John W. Kern of his nomination for the Vice Presidency will perform tha£ duty at Indianapolis on Tuesday, August 25 th. The great pavilion at the State Fair grounds will be used for the ceremony. It will be arranged to seat 10,000 persons. If an overflowmeeting is necessary, the amphitheater near-by, with seats for 10,000 or more, will be used, Theodore A. Bell, who was temporary chairman of the national convention, is chairman of the notification committee and will make the speech for the committee. After Mr. Kern delivers his speech of acceptance, Mr. Bryan, who will be present, will speak on the trusts. The meeting will begin about 1 o’clock p. m. A great crowd will be present from all parts of the state, but the arrangements are so ample that everybody will be taken care of.

•TEVENSON COMPLIMENTED Bryan Says Nice Things of the Illinois Man- Important Conferences. Fairview. Lincoln, Neb.. Aug. 11.— In addition to some traveling men, the vtaltors to Candidate Bryan at Fattvtew included Representative Henry Clayton, of Alabama, chairman of the committee on notification; i)r. J. W. McClure, of Sedalla, Mo., a member of the committee; Rev. S. F. McGuire, of Osceola, Kan.; Henry George Jr., of New York; Harvey W. Hardy, of Lincoln, an octogenarian who Intends to stump Erie and Wyoming counties, New York, for Bryan; a delegation of Christian Scientists from various parts of the country and three hundred members of the Epworth League to whom he delivered a brief address. The success of Adlal E. Stevenson, Bryan’s running 1 mate in 1900 in the rocent Illinois primaries for the governorship, attracted particular notice of the Democratic candidate. “While I take no part in the contests between Democrats before the convention or primaries,” he said, “I am sure I will be pardoned In this case if I say that we had a number of worthy Democrats aspiring to the governorship in Illinois no one among them wag superior In his qualifications to Mr. Stevenson. I believe be will make a very strong candidate, and will greatly aid the national ticket. Hfs -

I large public service and his sterling qualities combine to make him the ideal candidate and bt will make an Ideal governor." The vialt of Henry George, Jr. lasted an hour. His opposition to tba Ideff of the guaranty of bank deposits was well known to Bryan, but, that will not prevent him from supporting the Democratic ticket, for be said be wanted to see Democracy win in November. George is nearing the end of an extensive lecture tour, and wben that is concluded it Is his Intention to take the stump in behalf of Bryan and Kern. In his opinion trade anions were more in politics in the present campaign than he bad ever knew-them to be, “and that,” he said, “is saying a good deal.” The members of the notification committee are rapidly coming in.

One of these is between Chairman Mack and the members of the executive committee, and another between Mack and the committee appointed to compile the campaign text book. Mack will also confer witb Bryan this afternoon.
