ADMINISTRATION BANKS.

Loud and long are the complaints
that come to us from Hobart, from
Anadarko and from Lawton, says
the Leader.
These complaints are not touched
with impetuous esprit and raillery.
They are real and sound and when
one ventures into the bowels Of
these complaints a mighty spectac-
ular is disclosed TO view.
Down with the administration
banks is the cry And what do we
find? The thousands Of people at
tracted to Lawton. Anadarko and
Hobart, among other innumerable
hardships. were. and are yet, forced
to burden themselves with cold cash
with which to do business. The ad-
ministration. it appears, instead of
endeavoring TO alleviate suffering,
saw a chance for gain. and, Ike the
three-card monte man and the shell
manipulator. arrangements were
made for operating "a bunco system

wished to establish banks, high Off

the banking business themselves and
used their oucial positions In order
TO inspire confidence and bring re-
turns II this be not so, why should
the names of Delegate Flynn Cover
nor jenkins, Secretary Grimes and
other officials be emblazoned on ten
foot boards as bank directors and
the boards made to do duty in front
of the three banks at Lawton, Anad-
darko and Hobart. But this is not all.
These banks, instead OF being liberal
with their constituents and protect.
ing their depositors from rank and

LANDS CAN BE soLo.H

A Washington dispatch saldq a
question now causing a furry IN Rla-

be sold by relinquishing the eain,
and what qualifications are Necessary
for the buyer 10 be able to fle.o the
relinquished land. 4t4l
Generally speaking. the GOV tsrn,
ment is averse to transfers OF this
kind, but there is no law to pro BIT
the relinquishing of a claim. Theact
of REIMBURSEMENT, however, is made
in favor of the United States andthe
buyer does not secure any special,ad-
vantage, excepting that he is lre-
sumed to be the first one TO be in
formed of the REIMBURSEMENT and TO
be able to make the first filing on he
land after vacated.
All that is required is for the enty-
men To sign paper stating, - herouy
relinqush my claim TO the Unite
States" and the entry then is can
celled. After that is done the frs
qualified entryman can file his claim
n there should be a qualified settle
on the land the buyer would probabl,
be defeated and at any rate
troublesome contest would arise WI
the chances against the purchaser. /
Within sixty days from August i
when the lands were opened. obt
these qualified by drawing can fley
relinQuished claims Therefore unit
October a buyer who had not drawr
wodld have no advantage over others
After October any qualified persC
may file on relinquished claimshbtI
the government is opposed to II
fers and will aim to prevent alJ +.
lation in entries
All efforts to speculate in m
prior TO October 6 will be especially
disastrous TO the buyer The privi
leges secured by those drawing entry
rights will expire October G. After
that time any lands remaining un
disposed of or having been relin
quished may be settled upon under
