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;

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.
