views as 10 the necessity Of gold, except
as q standard.
This IS encoura ging. The Times mas
not changed it's opinion nor its attitude
toward the great question of finance. The
simple explanation Is that our friend has
been studying the position OF The Times
moro closely. and understands 1t better
II an who arc opposed 10 us would do us
the same honor. may we not say the same
Justice. they would not be so Indifferent
Of this paper
The flies Of The Times will show that
II has for years and years advocated
state banks OF issue. and has maintained
ahat what the country needed. was not
more gold and silver money. but system
COT banking by which each Community
NAV have its own local currency. We be-
ueve In the single gold standard. because
that is the standard Of the civilized world
and because we cannot understand how
there can be two standards Of value.
But in standing up for the gold standard
we must not be understood as being ID
favor OF limiting the supply Of currency
TO the amount Of gold money In existence.
The Times believes that II the restriction
on state banks shall be removed. the
supply of currency viii always equal the
demand. We are willing and anxious that
the country shah have all the money
that Il needs The difference between The
Times and the Pilot is only rs TO the
proper method OF attaining that end.
The PAot believes that it can be ac-
complshed by opening the mints OF the
Government TO the free coinage Of silver.
The Times believes that IT can be ac-
complshed only through the media Of
state banks OF issue.
Are we so far apart after all, esteemed
contemporary? Let us reason together
and we shall an get along so much better
than when we quarre..

Last Friday about sundown, while
attempting to swim the Washita river
on horse ba k at Rock Ford, Henry
Bivens was drowned. He was cross
ing from the north side and was on his
way home which is on the south side
OF the river, thirty-fve miles below
the above named ford. IL seems that
after having got into the main cur
rent, his horse became unmanageble
and Bivens attempted TO leave him,
Dat in so doing he was kicked by the
horse aud Immediately sank The per.
sons present who witnessed this sad
scene were fishing party from Nor
man, namely, G. NJ. Shears, A. w. and
w B Fisher and L. A. Ambrister, and
a gentleman in company with Bivens
whose name we have not learned. A
search for the body was made by the
above parties and it was found on the
bottom OF the stream near where the
deceased first sank. The remains
were conveyed home for purpose OF
burial.
