thing foolish and then the press lets
him down with an awful jolt. His
every act is noted and made much of
by the reporters, who see to it that he is
made as ridiculous and as miserable
as he was famous and happy a short
time before.
Our late war with Spain furnishes
an abundance of examples of this sort.
Perhaps the most noteworthy case is
that of Hobson. AS soon as the press
learned of Hobson's heroism in sinking
the Merrimac, every paper published
in the United States gave glowing ac-
counts of his daring and bravery and
column after column were devoted to
singing his praises. And justly too.
For while he was not successful in
blocking the entrance to Santiago
harbor, as was intended, the peril to
himself was as great as tho he had
succeeded. His fame became so great
that his name was on everybody's lips
and as soon as he returned to the
United States his lips were on every
girls that could reach him. This is
just where he made the mistake of his
life. He should have refused to accept
their caresses-at least in public,-and
yet the temptation was one that most
of us would find hard to resist. This
gave the press what it was looking for,
and in short time Hobson was more
famous for his osculating prowess
than for his naval achievements. He
has been ridiculed and sneered at until
his name has become mere by-word
and he is far from being the hero he
once was.
The newspapers seem to take great
delight in elevating man to the
highest pinnacle Of glory and then
kicking him down the other side until
they have him buried in the mire.
They devote column after column to
the enumeration of his many virtues,
but as soon as they have exhausted this
side of the question, instead of drop
ping the subject and letting him rest
on his laurels in peace, they must look
for his faults and vices. They probe
into his-private affairs, drag the family
skeleton out of the closet and make it
do the highland fling for their graft
ication and all his dirty linen is
aired in the papers. If the truth
only was told it would be bad enough,
but it must be made as sensational as
possible, regardless of truth or fact.
Consequently the hero's reputation is
thrown to the.winds. This may seem
exaggerated, but we have only to look
back upon the treatment accorded
Dewey, Sampson, Funston and host
of others to see that it is not. Those
who are not brought into national
prominence by their heroism are the
soonest forgotten, and they are the
most fortunate. 1t would of course be
impossible to remember all heroes and
their great deeds forever, but they
should at least be left in peace.

The recent reports Of the national
banks of this city, in response to the
order of the comptroller Of the cur
rency are indicative Of the general
prosperity of the city and its tributary
territory,
Guthrie is the financial center OF
the territory. Banks Of the other cit
ies draw local exchange on our banks
which operate as a general clearing
house.
The fact that the Capitol National
hank has over a million dollars de-
posits. With the Guthrie National a
close second, followed by the Logan
County bank, bank OF the Indian terri
tory and Guthrie Savings bank, shows
the vast volume Of money there is in
This country.
A few years ago a million dollar
bank seemed ike dream, but like
so many Oklahoma dreams it has been
actually realized.
The million dollars mark 5 the one
aimed at by the other rour banks and
there are many indications OF sue

Guthrie is the natural market place
for very large area Of territory
Good roads viii greatly enlarge that
territory. Every one understands
that very few miles added to the
radius Of a circle doubles its area and
in this case dor',les the amount Of
grain and produce brought to this
market and in turn doubles the trade
OF the merchants of the city, and in
every way tends towards the devel-
opment Of the city and country.
The betterment of the roads leading

advancement Of the cfty, but 10 the
farmers as we'll They can secure
better prices under the strong com
petition Of the city market for what

advantage of the same strong compe-
titIon and consequent low prices for
what they have to buy. They will

led assortments OF goods from which
to select what they desire to purchase.
The mutual advantages are so large
and so apparent as 10 demand siren
uous and immediate as well as syste-
matte persistence in bettering the
country roads
No place could be found where a
few thousand dollars would bring
such large returns both Immediately
and in the future.
The roads cl this country once
made right are quite permanent and
good at all seasons Of the year, being
rarely out of shape for heavy traffic
The main thine to be guarded ageinst
is washouts. which can be done at a

This country could have the best

States by proper attention and could
use them more months in the year.

effort by a good strong organization
would be as productive of good re

business energy of the city and coun-
try could be turned.
