CANADA'S BANKING SYSTEM.
How Our Neiehbor to the North Ad
 ministers Her Finances.

From the Boston Herald.
 We have never heard any one deny that Canada has a more stable, scientific, elas- ing system. and d more scientific, elas- tic and automatic currency system than the Uniled States. Canada fortunately avoids periodical panics such as every one in this country is familiar with. and money stringency,' either local or gen- eral, is unknown within her borders.
 In the United States national bank may begin business on capital as low as s2J 600. the amount being determined by the population of the town or city in which the bank establishes itself. Only one-half of this capital need be paid Gp in cash. The government is content with sworn statement that the half has been paid in. Only one-fourth of the capital need be invested in government bonds. And no national bank is permitted to es- tablish a branch.
 Compare with this the Canadian meth cd. In Canada a bank is chartered by the Dominion government. The bank must have a capital of at least $500, GOO. Before the charter can be issued the bank must deposit with the government one half it's capital. S250,000 at least. This must be deposited in gold. Each bank must have at least five directors. No limit is placed upon the number of share-

holders. Canada has 34 banks. They are owned by 26,000 shareholders, an average of T6o for each bank. These banks have many branches, as many as are justified by the demands of business. This sys- tenn of branches equalizes the interest rates throughout the country. In Van couVer for example. there are F branches of eastern banks. The Van- couver merchant pays no more for money than if lle were in Montreal, Toronto or Halifax, where the banks have their head offices.
 Each shareholder in q Canadian bank Is liable for double the face>value of his shares. Thus bank capitalized at $5O0,- 600 has the backing of $1 1,0000O0. Each bank is permitted to issue notes to the amount of it's actual pad-up capitaiza- ton. The gold deposited with the gov eVrnment is returned by the government when the bank is ready to do business. That is to say, the $25O,000 deposits is re- turned minus per cent of the eapltaliza- tion. This per cent is held as a re- demption funl. which would be drawn upon to meet the liabilities of any bank which might fail. Thus all the banks contribute to the redemption fund for the general safety doing officially. and by law, what certain eminent financiers i'll New York were privately called upon to do two or three weeks ago. This re- demption fund meanwhile earns interest the government paying per cent for 1t. At the banks are in this way responsible for one anothers circulation. Then again, the note issues are first liens on the entire assets of the banks. These as-

 NIr. Tomlinson stated that he did not
 anticipate any serious opposition to MT. | Bryan in this state, or even In JeHer- | son county. He said that he believed
 that those who now do not favor MT. | Bryan In this county would in snort | time see that his nomination IS iore- | gone conclusion and that their opposi- | ton will only tend to hurt democratic 1 success in 1908, and that therefore they | will not continue useless oppositioh' l "rt Is very generally conceded now by | the anti-Bryan and republican news | papers all over the country that MT. | Bryan will be the democratic nominee,
 said MT. Tomlinson. ''The election or a 1 democrat as President of the unlted
 States would mean much for the southern
 country, and l cannot believe that aiter | if is realized, that MT. Bryan nomlha- | tion Is an assured fact, there Will De
 any further opposition, which can only errre to the benefit of the republican marty. believe that the republican
 leaders are so divided and at war with
 each other that there is splendid 'op- | portunity of electing a democrat Pres-
 ident. and it is very generally conceded over the country that MT. Bryan IS not
 only the choice of the democrats, but
 would make the strongest race %efore
 the people.
 "Rut." continued Mir. Tomlinson, tho | Bryan democrats of this state who are | thoroughly organized should be diligent | and on their guard and see to 1t that the
 D, esent opportunity of having democra- l tic President, and at the Nsame time a | President in sympathy with the masses | of the people, is not to be lost. MT. 1 Tomlinson stated further that meeting | of the club would be held in short
 time, and the appointment of the neces- | sary committees to carry on the work | of the campaign. All democrats desiring l to participate in the organization should | send in their names at once.

new thing to say of Mr Paderwslxi that he alone, of all living virtuosos-and one thinks not only of pianists, but of play CTS upon stringed instruments-is able completely to convey, through the ma- terial agency of mere wire and wood the illusion of an idealized and living voice. The quality of the tone which he can summon from hammers and strings, from the unyielding and intractable throat of his instrument, is a thing to wonder at rather than to praise. It is not the vibration of wires it is a voice singing-and tone hastens to make the point a voice of exquisite and absolute perfection. The characterization is not fantastic such a tone as his, at it's best, is evoked, from an inanimate source, by him alone; justly to indicate its nature Is, seemingly. to part company with sobriety.

It is the obvious and familiar disunc- ton of MT PaderwsM that he is, be- ,ond question: the most famous virtuoso now living; but that is a distinction which he can well afford to hold less precious than another garland which he has long worn; that which honors him as the most perfect master of certain kind of tonal utterance with whom tho musical world is acquainted.

went after Frantz like a duck
after a June bug, and the
departmental basket was
gotten ready for Frantz's
official head.
1t was at this stage OF the
game that Ferguson, now
nominee for congress. butted
wildly in. His play, OF
course, was to ruin Frantz,
who had his office for gov
ernOr. Frantz was having
the time of his life with two
sets of Investigators going
after him,-the Indian SER
vice inspecting officials to
ascertain the facts and the
department of justice people
to whitewash him, rs the
President badly wanted him
saved. A secret service Off
cial, Mr.. Byrne, appeared on
the field, with whom Mr..
Ferguson got into communi-
cation. Mr.. Byrne appears
to have misunderstood the
purpose for which he was de-
tailed to oklahoma. At
any rate, he turned in a
bunch of affdavits made by
male and female companions
of Governor Frant's lighter
hours that failed to repre-
sent him as eminently Chris
tian in character. When
they reached Roosevelt, he
was so offended and enraged
that he Immediately aban-
doned any intention of send
ing Frantz out of the coun-
try as a minister to Cuba or
other place, and retained
him as governor in spite of
Secretary Hitcncock's ur-
gently showing him up as of
questionable honesty in
Office. Secretary Hitchcock
rendered his resignation, and
it remains for the voters of
our district to see how much
consideration Ferg uson, the
assistant sleuth, will get at
the hands Of President
Roosevelt, who put him out
of Office and whom he so
irantically loves and admires
in case the republican can
didate should most unior-
tunately win in the election.

A Bit of Unpublished History

When Frank Frantz's ser
vice in the Rough Riders
rendered him eligible to the
the highest offices in the
state, and President Roose-
welt had changed n former
democrat of Enid into the
proud class OF federal Okla
homa ofliCe-holders, first as
postmaster of Enid and then
as u. 5. Indian Agent of the
Usage Agency, Governor
Ferguson began to sit up
and take notice, especially
as his first term was draw
ing to Il close and he had
had differences with b. :.
Mcclure over questions of
federal patronage, as well as
reasons, also, for some un-
certainty at to his own
standing in the presidential
mind. Mr. Mcclure, how
ever, had his troubles with
the President also, and Fer
guson trusted to hold fast.
to his Office.
But McGuire, the willy,
knew u thing or two; he.
worked for the appointment.
of Frantz, Rough Rider and
whilom democrat, to be ap-
pointed to Ferguson's job,
and Mr.. Roosevelt siguiii-
cantly said that he would be
glad to appoint Captain
Frantz to any position in
ms power, Mcclure, for
whom President Roosevelt !
has never had any use, was
thus able to come home and |
admire himself as havingI
dictated the appointment oII
governor.
Fortunately for Ferguson, |
now desperate, there were |
some rather grave. charges
made against Frantz as In
dian Agent. The Rough |
Rider had issued permission |
for sun3ry persons to occupy |
lots upon what was to be |
the townsite OF Pawhuska, |
enabling these person to bid |
in the lots without competi- |
tion at about one tenths OF
what they should have paid.
The agent had no assignable
reason for giving this per-
mission; if he did not receive
pay therefore he committed
an unparlonuble folly, if he |
was paid, it was official
knavery. Secretary Hitch
