of the most respectable citizens of the
town roaming the streets in his night
robe. The officer very promptly
placed the man under arrest and
directed his steps toward the city

street crossing woke the citizen up.
He at once became aware that he was
being piloted by the policeman and a
few moments of observation convinc-
ed him he was not going toward home.
Then he spoke.
What are you doing with me,

"Oh. I've got you for walking
around the streets in your chemise. -

across the country from Texas to the
British possessions, for the purpose of
making such tests. Stations have
been located, beginning at Amarillo,

in North Dakota.
Where it is practical, the govern

are willing to take up the work with
the government. In case this latter

STATE BANKING LAW is UPHELD.
Cashier Struble Liable for ALLEGED
False Statement

False Statement.
In the case of State of South Da-
kota, plaintin in error vs. G. l.. Stru-
BILE, defendant in error. which has
been decided by the supreme court,
the validity of the state banking law
is upheld in every particular where it
was attacked.
Struble, as cashier of the Egan
State bank, on demand of the public
a sworn statement of the condition of
the bank at the close of business on
Sept. 8, 1903. The statement was al
legged to be false as to the true con-
ditions, and suit was brought against
Struble under the banking law, which
provides penalty of penitentiary
sentence of not less than one year
tense.
Attorneys for Struble demurred to
the complaint on the ground of uncon-
stitutionality of the statute, and the
demurrer was sustained by the trial
judge. The public examiner brought
the case to the supreme court, which
has oyerruled the trial court
The main points raised in the de.
murrer were that the legislature in
authorizing the public examiner to
provide a form of report to be re-
quired had delegated its powers to an
individual; that the law discriminates
between state and private banks, and
is special legislation, and that the
statement made to the examiner,
though false, did not make the cashier
liable under the law, and it was not.
as required by law, certified to by not
less than two of the directors of the
bank.
The court holds in the first claim
that 1t would be impossible for the
legislature to fix set form of report
to meet all requirements, and that the
law confers upon the bank examiner
no powers which in any way encroach
upon legislative domain :
On the second point the claim of
discrimination is set aside by the
language of the statute, wherein IT
says: Where reference herein is
In any manner, the same shall be con-
strued as applying to any corporation,
association, firm or individual so en-
gagged in business as herein defined"
The contention that the report had
no force in it's failing to receive the
signatures of the directors as required
is set aside as trivial, as the report
sworn to by Cashier Struble declared
it was true and correct statement
of the financial condition of said bank
at the close of business on Sept. 9,
1903; that the statement as made
gives the true and correct financial
standing of the bank, and that ali
questions are truthfully answered."
The court holds on this "that the
fact that it (the report) is averred
to has been made in accordance with
the provisions of section 5211 is
sufficient averrment that it was prop
erly verified and attested"

The Kansas WaV

In his recent address before the meeting of the indie
pendent oil producers at Independence Governor Hoc
of Kansas states in pungen phrase the issue between the
people of that state and the Standard Oil company He
said:
''This is not upon the Standard Oil company. 1t
is upon it's methods. 1t is not attack its
mercia policies 1t is not attempt to drive the Stand
ard Oil out Of this state 1t is attempt to compel it to
be decent"
1t is we'll enough to keep the dicncon in mind. The
people not warning capital They not fighting
corporations, but abuses by corporations.
There is difference between raid and reform.
After stating that he is not believer in socialism the
governor continues
'But do not propose to permit myself to become con-
fused with terms msed by false interpretations This

movement. In my judgment Mr. Rockefeller and men
ton him merely in his representative capacity, is doing

than all the professional propagandst of that fascinating
falacy in the United States are DOING
In other words the state of Kansas is fighting the devil
with fire. The Standard is trying to kill competition In
trying make act decent the state is going to the length
of adopting socalistic device.
And the governor is right when he says the big oil trust
is making more converts to the ''fascnang fallacy Of
socialism than any other agency.

mercia independence of the trust is good proof of the
