GUARANTEE DEPOSIT LAW.

GUARANTEE DEPOSIT LAW
since the Oklahoma legislature has

Is issued by the general government
| ana no money Is issued by the states,
] IL is difficult to see If depositors of
| banks are to have any guaranty that
| the money placed in the banks will be
paid back, the guaranty ought to come
from the general government because
pretty much all the big banks are ma
tional banks.
The state banks in pretty much all of
the smaller towns keep their reserve
deposited in some reserve center and In
national banks. The state law would
not reach such banks. 1t seems to us
that such laws as that enacted in Ok
ianoma VIII prove an Intellectual at
tempt to do what the general govern
ment ought to do. The Oklahoma law
is an attempt to compel the banks to
protect themselves. 1t assumes that
some banks may fail, but all the banks
taken together are able to make good
the losses.
Some Of the politicians claim that the
Republican state central committee
tearing that an extra session of the leg
lslature might enact a primary law,
aim to call the state convention before
the law can be passed. Without ex-
pressing any opinion at this time in
regard to primary law 1t will be in
order to remark that any such move
ment to defeat the will of the people
will not be regarded lightly in this
state. If the people are determined to
nave primary law 1t will be wise in
s.ne state central committee to refrain
from trying to beat them by anv such
tricks as calling an early convention
Inc state central committee, however
at TINS time can not assume that there

lature or that it will pass a primary

GIVE TAX LAW A TEST.
There has been much talk of more
money being raised under the new
tax law than the old. There is no
earthly reason why there should be.
Every board in the state down to the
school district boards will have the
assessed value before them when they
meet to make the levy They will
know how much money they raised
this year and If they fix a levy that
will raise more next the people will
hold them responsible and not the tax
law. The Leader-Courier has not

be a cure-all for any great number of

should be repealed. But there was
state wide demand for its enactment.
and it should be given a fair trial.

With a Silent Guard.

MODERN science seems to spend it's
time undoing it's own efforts. Take.
Tor instance, so-called burglar-proof
safes. The up-to-date burglar soon
found that by means of compressed
oxygen and acetylene gas he could
produce a fame so hot that the steel
doris Of a safe would fuse in it like
lead in an ordinary gas jet. In addi-
ton, the accessories required are of a
handy size, and there is no noise. OBJ
servat1on Is all the safe-breaker has to
avoid. Now 1T is suggested manufac-
turers should add simple apparatus
to the materials used in making safes
which would liberate certain chemicals,
rendering it dangerous-or even fatal
to tamper with the walls or door. No
doubt in time the scientific burglar will
find means of overcoming this. but
for a little while. at least, protection
can be obtained against the scientific
decentralization Answers.

TIE GoLDFIEbD INcIDENT

THE GOLDFIELD INCIDENT.
| The governor Of Nevada called on
the president for troops, and the pres
ident furnished them. The constitu-
ton requires that the call shall come
from the legislature, or from the gov
ernor IL the legislature can not be
convened. There is no evidence in
this case that the legislature could not
be convened, or that any attempt was
made to convene it. Doubtless the
governor was afraid to wait. Doubt
less, too, he was afraid of the miners,
and had reason to dread their union
and its intentions. Doubtless, also,
the danger was imminent, and that
strong force was necessary for the
suppression of the criminals. 1t is the
theory of our government, however,
that each state shall have the right to
protect itself against its own criminals
and rioters, and that the federal gov
eminent shall intervene only when the
whole available political power shall
admit that it is unable to perform its
duty. Without harshly judging the
Nevada case, it may be proper to sug-
gest that it Is a great pity that state
which admits it's powerlessness In an
ticipation of a riot is state.-Har-

Greatest Sieiht on Earth.

A question which travellers often ask
each other in various parts Of the world
is What is really the greatest natural

most wonderful sight had visited in At

tacle of one of the worlds mightiest rivers

Birds Shot With Water.

Shooting a hummingbird with the
smallest birdshot made is out of the
question, for the tdntest seeds of lead
would destroy his coat. The only way
in which the bird can be captured for
commercial purposes is to shoot him
with a drop of water from a blowgun,
or a fine jet from a small syringe.
Skillfully directed, the water stuns him.
He falls into a silken net and before
he RECEIVERS consciousness is suspended
over a cyanide jar. Thus must be done
quickly. for If he comes to his senses
before the syanide Whit snuffs out his
life he is sure to ruin his plumage in
his struggles to escape. Humming-
birds vary in size from specimens per-
those scarcely bigger than a bee. The
quickest eye cannot follow them in full
flight. 1t is only when, though still
flying furiously. they are practically

any good eye can pick out the best
