THE OKLAHOMA PLANK.

The bank guaranty plank in the
Democratic platform is becoming
more prominent. Mr.. Bryan seems
to like it better the more he thinks
of it, and Mr.. Taft sees more and
more mischief in it. In his speech
of acceptance he said it was a
device to make honest and prudent
bankers pay the losses of those
who were either dishonest or i'm
prudent; and he has not changed
his opinion, nor has he reason to.
1t does not take financial expert
to see that if all deposits are guar
anteed by sort of insurance fund,
arbitrarily levied bv law upon the
banks, the natural effect of com
petition among the banks will be
to raise the rate of interest, to
encourage speculation on the part
of bank officers. and investment of
funds in enterprises which pay a
high per cent and are therefore
comparatively unsafe In fact the
whole tendency would be toward
speculation, and no one knows
what that means.
Postmaster General Meyer has
pointed out in recent speech
that the amount of insurance or
guarantee fund in case such law
went into effect would have to be
very much larger than is calculated
at present, because at present in
vestments are made conservativeiy y :;
but after this law has been in
operation some time. and the in
vestments have been changed to
alleged securities representing a
higher rate of interest and there
fore a greater risk, the probability
of failure would be so much greater
that the guaranty fund would have
to be much larger than is indicated
by the present rate of failure to
deposits.
If it is alleged that this plan has
worked well in Oklahoma, one
must remember that it has been in
operation only IA very short time,

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

The practical Course Bulletin" :"
explaining all the details of the
work in the practical courses at
the State Agricultural College
has just been printed and can be
obtained by addressing the college
at Fort Collins. These practical
courses in agriculture and domestic
science are invaluable for young
men and women who cannot take
full course.
The Idaho experiment station
reports the belief that Alaskan and
Egyptian seven headed wheat are
one and the same. Idaho farmers
were extensively fooled on this
poor milling wheat and that too
almost within the shadow of the
government experiment station.
The yield of Alaska in fields SO
far harvested is only 20 to 30
bushels instead of 100 to 122 as
was claimed by the so called dis
coverer.
Farmers as a rule are inclined
to think and speak lightly of
advice given by professors of the
different agricultural colleges and
experiment stations, when as a
matter of fact the professors them
selves are or have been practical
farmers and owe their appoint
ments to their success in that line.
Their experience has been supple
mented by wide range of study
and travel such as it is the priv
ilege of but the few to enjoy.
Many farmers will swear by the
columns of their favorite agricul-
tural paper, the overworked editor
of which has absolutely no knowl-
edge of practical farming. One
such paper of general circulation
in Colorado is edited entirely by a
woman, who however bright and
capable she may be, must depend
exclusively on the various papers
and documents which the daily
mail brings to her table for
material with which to fill her
paper. She has probably never
set hen in her life and yet will
venture advice on great problems
of farm life upon the success or
failure of which depends the sus-
tenance of many families. The
editors of the agricultural papers,
well meaning though they are,
have much to answer for.

The fact that the complexion of
the Supreme bench in both state
and nation depends on the result
of this falls election should make
the people think deeply and dis
passionately. The next president
might change the course of United
States history by making the
wrong appointments to the bench.
State Republican headquarters
are already open at the Brown
hotel in Denver but the whole
works" will not be set going until
after the convention. From that
time until election there will be
something doing" all the time.
1t is hoped this year to have more
than one speaker of national prom
inence to assist the local spell
binders.
The comments of the foreign
press on American politics are
usually more amusing than en-
tightening: but the Paris Temps
has very clever summing up of
the two leading candidates in our
campaign. Taft, it says, is a
constructive administrator Bry-
an popular orator. Taft can
solve a problem by doing some
thing; Bryan would talk about it.
Both are able, but the ability of
Taft is practical. the ability of
Bryan is theoretical. Taft has
experience, Bryan has ideas. Taft
knows, Bryan thinks" 1t is sell
dom indeed tnat a foreign paper
