Galena on business. 1t may be well
to state here that Links yellow bull
dog also went along. On the way
back the bull dogs teeth came in
contact with hogs ear. Link got
out of the buggy to pull the dog
of. leaving Cheeseman to hold the
team. The dog liked the porkers
ear very well, however, and refused
to turn loose. Pretty soon an old
woman came down the road armed
with a club with which she belabor-
ed the said dog with all her might.
THE racket aroused an old man, sup
posed to be the husband of the said
old woman, who Immediately ap-
peared on the scene armed with
shotgun. Cheeseman in the mean
time had kept his eyes open and as
soon as he saw that gun he whipped
up and came on to Baxter a little
ahead of time. Link doesn't tell
just how he fixed up the hog and
dog matter, but he arrived in Bax.

JOY For JOlNTISTS.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 3.-While the
house has pending before it bill
making it more difficult for joint
keepers to do business in Kansas,
the senate has one which practical
ly gives them license to do business
in violation of the state constitu-
ton. The house bill provides that
a government license is to be prima
facie evidence of guilt. The senate
bill, introduced by Fulton, repeals
that section of the prohibitory law
which provides a Jail sentence as
penalty for it's violation. II passed,
this will leave only fine as the
penalty. This ia what the jointists
want. They will send a lobby to
Topeka to work for its passage.

BLUFF DIDN'T WORK.

1t has been suggested to us that
all the blame for the condition oi
the Baxter Bank should not be laid
to Col. Alexander Warner, and the
reason given for II is that Bank
Commissioner Breidenthal should
have closed up the bank several
months before It failed. The party
suggesting this says: "Early in
September Bank Commissioner
Breidenthal called for a statement
and il was published. That state
ment showed the bank insolvent
and not carrying more than one
half the cash and exchange re-
quired by law. 1t should have been
closed up at that time by the bank
commissioner, but Breidenthal al.
lowed that Lank to run, knowing IL
was violating the banking laws
from September l, 1906"
There il no doubt of il ut all
that the bank violated the banking
laws from September I, 1896. But
for the edification of the party
making the suggestion we will say
that there is no MU giving the
bunk commissioner power to
close an insOIpent bank. H. may
notify the bank officials that they
are violating the banking law, but
he has no poHer under the stat
ute to close them up, although il
is generally believed that such is
the case. The law governing the
duties and powers of the bank COM
il sadly deficient, but
only a few people are aware of il.
We get these facts from gentle
man connected with the bank conn.,
Office, and he tells us
that they sometimes close bank
by bluff, but that they have no
power under the statute to do it.
This, we suppose, is case where
the bluff didn't work.
But the fact that the bank com
is unable TO have bank |
closed does not absolve the officials
from blame. Not bit of it. And
the penalty for violating the state
laws is very severe.
