OKLApOmA's BANKING LAW.

oklahoma may in the opinion of
conservative people have enacted too
much into her constitution, but her
legislation of every sort is marked
with the spirit Of doing things Note
her new banking law:
The new banking law for Oklahoma
Wherein is provided a guaranty fund
for the protection of depositors IN IN
solvent banks, will become operative
February II, 1908. Its makers believe
it will make impossible a run on an in
dividual bank and prevent money
manic in the state. Each state bank is
required to pay to the state banking
baord a sum equal to l per cent OF Its
daily average deposits. When a bank
calls the state bank examiner pays the
depositors from the guaranty funds
held by the banking board, and those
payments become a first lien on the as
sets of the defunct bank.
There is little about the law about
which depositors are likely to COM
nlain. Oklahoma is vigorous to say
the least.

atricals there is at least one reason
why it might be best to avoid them all,
and that is a good many Christian
people consider them wrong in them
selves. We may not agree with such
people and may make use of those
practices for our own personal amuse-
ment so long as we do it in modera-
ton, but it is a question whether un-
der the circumstances it is wise or
charitable to use them for the support
of the church. Moreover, being mere
amusements and minstering as they

which is so excessive in these days. it
does seem more than trifle undigni-
fled for the church to have to resort to
such methods in carrying on her holy
work
And with regard to the card party
there is the additional danger of ille-
ultimate methods. People are not sat
isfied nowadays with the pleasure to
be derived from the winning of the
game. They also want to get some
thing for It, and if there are no stakes.

AS TO ,NcoNs,sTENCY..ET Al.

The Sioux City Journal, at present
the leading organ of the standpat rae
ton. and entitled to the most dis
ting,1ished consideration as the eN-
moment of the political interests and
politicians who make up that eminent
faction in Iowa, insists that its ad-
vocacy Of the eligibility of A. B. Funk
for governor was actuated by motives
purely phianthropic and with view
to the unification of the Eleventh dis
trict and the state of Iowa. The Jour-
nal has been suspected OF different
motive. This suspicion being made a
matter of mention by the Times-Re-
publican calls forth from the Journal
an assurance of its own intense fidelity
to Mr.. Funk, its regrets that he mas

it is the leading Cummins organ, that

and worst charge is accompanied by

AS to the other statements the
Journals word is to be taken. 1t is

that one progressive in the Eleventh

BILE, then they must have a prize, which
is only another name for the same
thing. OF course, this should not be
permitted, and yet we have no doubt
that the people who buy tickets to a
church card party would think them
selves hardly treated if this old fash
toned rule We're to be enforced upon
them. 1t does CRATE upon ones finer
sensibilities, too, to read the notices
in the newspapers of the dancing party

My conclusion would be, therefore,
that unless the circumstances be very
exceptional it would be wiser not to
resort to the dance, the card table,
or the stage for the support of the
Church of God. !

Church Entertainments.

(From the Providence journal. }
There are some old-fashioned peo-
pie who think hat the best way to
maintain d strong church, is to con-
duct its services in a dignitied man
ner, intoxicating such substantial viz
tues as reverence quality IT need
hardly be said. on which there is too
little insistence nowadays, If men and
women will not go to church to Wor-
ship they will probably not go, for
any extended period, to hear special
features" Such attractions Will have
temporary influence upon the numbers
in attendance, but unless there is u
frequent change of bill to use the
vaudeville term, they will soon grow
stale. And what church, even in these
days of modern" methods, would be
willing to commit itself to a different
sort of entertainment every Sunday in
the wear?

support With zeal However, there are
not many of these who are ready TO
Mr. Funk. They do not consider that
he needs to be told. They know Mr..
Funk as a man entirely capable OF
taking care of his own interests, know
ing what he wants to do and doing
what he considers wise and just. IN
all humility the es-Republican
would suggest that Mr. Funk does not
require or seek any defence from his
friends even from a source so power
nal.
If the mes-Republican has done
the Journal injustice 1t will be sorry
When 1t is convinced of its fault. The
motives of the Journal are naturally
to be guessed at from its expression.
Rabbits and tigers alike are known by
the tracks they leave The tran Oh
the journal has been conducive to the
conclusion that its heart is not wrapped
up in the political success OF any pro-
gressive in or out of the Eleventh. On
the contrary the trees along its back
trail are SCARED at a mans height
with the sharpening of claws. 1t mas
been inferred and naturally 50 that
when the Journal evinced lively in
terest in Il progressive it was not OF
sympathy but of appetite. Since the
Journal left the progressive camp TO
become sycamore of the hostiles II
has been necessary for It's former
tribesmen to carry gun along. so IL
was a natural conclusion that 1t was
stalking up behind Funk for a chance
at scalps, the scalp of the chief II IL
could get it, but failing that any Ola
scalp that would serve for a dance. 1t
is good to know that it followed Funk
because it loved him.
AS to this charge of inconsistency
alleged against this paper, how much
of 1t is true? If the editorial pages
of the Times Republican and those Of
the Sioux City Journal for the past
ten years be compared, will the con-
clusion warrant the accusation? SIX
wears ago this newspaper was stand
ing for the very things it is now de-
Tending against the sneers OF the
Journal. Then the Journal stood with
it, The T.-R. was for Cummins then be-
cause of reforms he stood for. 1t is for
him now because Of the reforms he has
with the help of the people accom-
plished, and the promise Of the future.

all the reforms that the past decade
has crystallized into law 1t was for

nal came in and fell out of line, and
is now where it stood then. Where Is

Journal? 1t was for the rate law.
Where was the Journal? To give the

speaking, been on both sides of every
important question that has come up
for settlement To be fair and honest
to the Times Republican it has been
more entirely consistent than any 9TH
| err leading daily in the state. 1t makes
mistakes. Sometimes it mixes meta
phors, but it means to stand on Its own
ground and is the organ Of no persons,
factions or parties. 1t is the Times
Republican. 1t feels that it has the
right to say his much in defense
against an unwarranted charge of in
