II there are those who think that a

community and are discussed in open

BANKERS ADOPT RESOLUTIONS

Whereas, A great many banks in
the reserve centers contiguous to Ok
lahoma and Indian Territories have
not increased their capital to keep
pace with the rapid growth Of de-
posits; Therefore be it resolved that
we, the members Of the 0klahoma-In-
dian Territory Bankers association re-
spectfully advise said banking insti-
tutions that we look with disfavor
upon their negligence in failing to
Increase their capital to a degree
commensurate with the increase Of the
deposits.
Whereas, conditions are such that
immediate statehood for Oklahoma
and Indian Territory is essential for
the welfare and prosperity of our
people, therefore be it resolved: That
regardless Of party affiliations we
call upon those in authority to give us
statehood at the earliest possible mo-
ment: And be it further resolved !.
That IL case Of a temporary failure
to secure statehood, we respectfully
request the president and congress Of
the United States to extend til laws
Of Oklahoma over Indian Territory.
Whereas, This association has
grown to such proportions that it is
advisable to divide the state into
groups; therefore be it resolved; That
the incoming executive committee be

empowered to divide the state into
group associations and appoint a
president and secretary for such
groups and designate their first place
Of meeting.
Resolved, That the thanks Of the
association be extended to the bank
ers Of Oklahoma and the mayor and
people of the city for their untiring
efforts to make our visit to their city
a pleasant one.
Resolved, That the thanks Of the
association be extended to the ladies'
Of Chickasha for the exceptionally
hospitable manner in which they have
received and entertained the visiting
ladies.
Resolved, That our hearty thanks
be extended to the president, secretary
and other officers Of the association
for their untiring efforts to increase
our membership and to the executive
committee for their wise administra-
tion of the affairs Of the association
the past year.
The thanks Of the convention are
cordially extended to Mrs. H. H.

space to tell about Mrs. Schmook's
violin playing. There may be violin
lists and violinists but there never
has bee before ii chickasha per
former on this instrument who could
excel Mrs. schmook. The piece was
difficult one but the ease and aban-
don with which the performer handled
her instrument and the delightful
tones she drew from it completely cap
tivated the convention. She was
forced to respond to an encore and
she selected the ever beautiful "Sua-
nee River" one Of the variation pieces
which was simply delightful.
Following Mrs. Schmook's solo
was a short paper by Mr.. L. L. Dres-
er, editor of the Commerce Monthly,
Of St. Louis, in which he told Of the
benefit to the bankers of what is
known as "group meetings. 10 pa
per was short, but pointed with lots
OF good information. 1t was highly
appreciated and enjoyed.
The president stated that an ino-
walton in convention meetings would
be inaugurated and that was the "ques
tion box" Any member who want
ed information along certain lines
would be allowed the privilege of
writing his question and giving it to
I the secretary. It would be taken up
at the subsequent meeting and a dis.
cussion Of the subject would follow.
Mr. Mccarthy, Of Chicago, a promi-
nent banker was called for and made
a short but interesting talk on the
value and the uses Of Commercial
Paper. Mr.. Mccarthy showed thai
he thoroughly understood his subjecr
and the bankers Of the convention ap
preciated his timely talk which il
view Of the fact that commercial pa
per in the sense eastereners now thinl
OF it is almost new phase Of tn
banking business here was duly ap
preciated.
Mr. S. G Whitson, Of New York
president Of the American Bankers
association and president Of the Ma
tional City Bank Of New York Cit,
having just arrived in the city an
his presence being noted in the con
vention, was called for a speech. H
rather reluctantly came forward an
stated that his throat was giving hir
some trouble and that he could no
:. make the address he would expect t
make We're he feeling better. He es
pTMsed his appreciation Of being abb
to attend the convention and that h
was glad to know that it was j
such a hourishing condition. Nj

address before the convention toda.

session. After a witty introduction
the speaker took up the history Of
commerce and developed the evolution
Of modern business, giving the bank
er credit for the great work that is
performed by it. Back Of war, poll
tics, the captain Of industry and all
stood the banker.
Geo. R. Allen, secretary Of the
American Institute of Bank Clerks,
New York was the next speaker, and
his proved to be a very popular
speaker. His fund Of anecdotes was
unexhaustible. He spoke on the edu-
cation Of the banker. Accuracy,
promptness and the spirit Of thor
ough investigation were cardinal Writ
ues with the banker and to them must
be added technical training, knowl-
edge Of commercial law and above
all the study of men, the latter be-
ing nine-tenths Of the bankers equip
ment. Executive ability was also a
reorisisa. In Discussing business
standards and ethics, the speaker de-
clared that men were much like the
world over, with the same standards
of honor and honesty. Il do not be-
lieve your standard in the west and
] know ours in the east is any higher
than that Of John D. Rockefeller and
Hartman" The speaker concluded
with splendid tribute to the women
Of Oklahoma and his words were,
"Oklahoma is Gods latest and rich
est land Of Canaan; you have the
greatest opportunities in the world
here; everybody is watching you anc
it is up to you"
Sidney J. Roy Of Shawnee made Q
fine presentation Of the claims Of The
Oklahoma-Jamestown Exposition Co
and then the association listened tC
more talks from the visitors, which
has proved such ar interesting feat
ure Of the meeting.

applause when he took issue with

he was unwilling to accept Rockefell

the western bankers. "The man. VIII

Harrison said he knew of no section
Of the country that had made such
record in banking as Oklahoma. Nh
Wells Of Fort Worth responded in al

he too took a slap at the Rockefeller

In the reception rendered the visit

night, Chickasha 0utdid herself in the
display Of hospitality and the ability
to entertain. Both functions were
carried out with complete success in
every respect, more than meeting the

and nearly everybody was there on
one or the other Of the occasions.
THE RECEPTION
From three to five o'clock the wives
and daughters Of the bankers and
other visiting ladies were entertained
with a reception by the ladies Of this
city. The elegant Elks' Home never
presented a scene Of more bewildering
beauty, the decorations being elabor-
ate as we'll as artistic. Pink and
green was the color scheme and the
basket idea was carried out. In the
dining room pretty baskets Of differ
ent sizes, filled with smilax, sweet
peas and roses, were tastefully ar
ranged on tables and pendant from
the ceiling, and the same plan was
carried out in the parlor decorations
Near the entrance was the Chick

was rendered to the great delight o.
the guests. Here the receiving lin

The very disagreeable weather
seemed to have no dampening effects
on those who attended the ball in hon
or Of the bankers last night at the
Elks Home. It evidently kept none
away for the largest crowd that ever
filled the spacious Elks' rooms were
there and enjoyed the evening to the
fullest extent.
Chiclasha society and Chickasha
business men acquitted themselves
handsomely in entertaining the Ok
Iahoma-Indian Territory bankers and
their wives. Perhaps never before
has there been gathered in the city a
smarter crowd and one that more full
! ly represented the people Of the great
new state than those present at the
ball.
An air of good-fellowship and the
spirit that assures a good time was
there in every member Of the local
committee and the citizens Of the city
and their wives. There were no wall
flowers everybody took pleasure in
introducing the visitors and if there
was one who failed to meet number
of those present or did not spend q
pleasant evening, it was his own fauM,
but there were none.
1t was nine o'clock when Fox's or
chestra started the music for the
! grand march in which over one hun
! dred couples took part. Mr.. and Mrs.
T. H. Dwyer led this particularly
pleasing feature after which pro-
grams were distributed and little
q time lost in getting them filled.
Twelve numbers and several extras
were on the list The spacious floor
Of the Ellxs lodge room was crowd
ed during the early part Of the ev'
ening, but after a little the rarlors
, smoking rooms and hallawys each
! had crowd Of its own, leaving the
!. ball room floor to the dancers. De-
! licious fruit punch was served dur
ing the evening.
Most Of the visitors who had not be-

Comparative Capitalization.

There is interest, not to speak OF
amusement, In the reason which Mr..
Bryan assigns for his stern rejection
OF President Roosevelts proposition
of national incorporation of railroads
doing an interstate business. Mr.. Bry-
an sees In this the most far.reaching
step for Capitalization proposed In
this country since Hamilton submitted
his plan of government" and will
have none of It,.
We are not prepared to endorse the
presidents proposition until Its neces-
sity and effectiveness are made clear
err. But the unconscious humor of
Bryan's objection is that whether Mr..
Roosevelt's proposition is a far.
reaching step for Capitalization" or
not. 1t Is not half as ~far.reaching in
that direction as would be the PROPOSE.
ton which a certain gentleman made
at the Madison Squart Garden for the
governments ownership and opera
ton OF all the trunp line railroads.
National incorporation Of railroads
would establish relations equivalent
to those between the government and
national banks, which, whatever else
may be said of them. are so de-cen-
tralized hat a large share of the bank
ing interests are busily agitating for
a big central bankers bank. But
ownership of the trunk lines by the
federal government would add to the
present powers Of the national gov.
eminent all the powers. legal or H.
legal, of the entire railroad interest
rolled into one, unrivaled in arbitrary
possibilities by any existing govern
ment In the world.
Certainly the man who made that
proposition is not in a very good pc.
sition to accuse others Of seeking
GENERALIZATION. Mr.. Bryan may have
forgotten for the moment who made
the proposition, but the public may
with an effort recall that his name is
