about the political morality Of Mr.. Oar

transactions above mentioned. Il is a
thing Of the past so far as the treas
ury is concerned. The legislature of 1897
passed a law which provides for in

banking institutions OF the state. The
law imposes upon the state treasurer
and the members OF the revenue COM
mission the duty OF selecting the bank
ing institutions of the state in which
The moneys shall be deposited. and pro-
vides for the taking OF sufficient Sc

by the chairman Of the Republican or

God has blessed It's hills and valleys

industry OF its people have developed

1t as It is, the home OF education and
integrity, morality and religion. rather
than to proclaim it as a breeding
ground Of iniquity. whose people choose
