NEGRO APPOINTED LIBRARIAN

(From the Charleston Mail.)
On Tuesday Governor Dawson Is
sued the commission of State Libra
rian to John c. Gilmer, editor of the
Charleston Advocate, for the unex-
PRED term made vacant by the death
Of S. w. Starks, which would make
the appointment expire with the term
of Office of the Governor.
There were number Of applicants
for the position, but the final choice
of the Governor, in the selection OF
the editor Of the leading organ of the
colored race in West Virginia, and in
fact, one of the leading journals rep
resenting that race in the entire
country, is regarded as eminently q
deserving one. The appointee has
been a resident of the city of Charles
ton practically all his life. He was
educated. at the University of Pitts
burg, Pa, graduating with the de
gree of A. B. in 1897, and in 1906
with the degree of A. M. During his
term in college he was one of the
editors of the University magazine
and gained a splendid reputation as
a clear and forcible writer on al
questions.
He has been the editor of the
Charleston Advocate for the PAST five
years, succeeding Prof. ]. McT1enr!
Jones, principal of the West Virginia
Colored Institute, who in turn sue
ceeded the late S. W. Starks, whit
was the founder of the paper Dur
ing the time Editor Gilmer has hat
editorial control Of the Advocate tina
paper has grown in strength and in
duence, is widely circulated through
out the entire country, and is regard
ed as journal of the highest stand
ing and representative Of the high
est ideals of that race.
Since it was the desire of the chic
executive to bestow that appointment
to a representative of the coloret
race, no better selection could have
been made, and he will discharge the
duties of the position with ability
and great care.

One of the important results of the
financial disturbance of a year ago
has been movement on the part of
banks all over the country to remedy
such evils and fall more lastingly into
the confidence of the public.
In some instances this movement
has taken the form of an effort to Sc
cure a revision of the banking laws of
various states, and in others, bankers
themselves have taken up the work
of devising an improved system of
operation.
In all cases, however, the ultimate
object aimed at is not simply better
protection to the banks themselves,
but protection for the public as well.
The Comptroller of the Currency has
taken steps to obtain much more
thorough examination of the Nation
al banks and the new State of Okla
homa has enacted the first bank law
which is intended to entirely protect
the depositors from loss on account
of bank failure.
The attention of the entire nation
has been called to Oklahoma's bank
law, which provides for the guaranty
fund of l per cent of their deposits
and the State Banking Board with
the State Bank Commissioner regu-
lates the rate of interest that banks
are allowed to pay on savings &C.
counts, and money borrowed. These
banks are subjected to a rigid exam
nation by the system of examiners in
force under the law, the classes and
amounts of loans with their Sc
curities are inspected as to amounts,
life of paper, renewals and extern
sions. The law also provides for pro
rated assessments to be made upon
: all state banks whenever the l per
cent guaranty fund is exhausted. The
one feature about this guaranty law
which has met more criticism from
the hands of it's opponents than any
other is the fact that it places all
, state banks, large and small, new and
: old, upon the same sound basis; and
this fact is not to be entirely despised
for the reason that depositors in
: small banks of small towns and com
J munities need as sure and certain
protection as those of more favored
localities. However, the effect of the
} guaranty law is proven of material
, advantage to state banks of Okla
homa. Their deposits have increased
at a rapid rate, and deposits from
other states have been flowing in fol
several months.
The history of our bank, "ThC
Peoples Bank" of Muskogee is con
vincing proof that the effect of the
law has worked upon the minds Of
the doubtful about the safety Of
banks" to good advantage. We be
!; gan business the 10th day of Novem
i, Der, 1906, with gross assets of SO,
! 12S.75 and at the end of the first year
of our existence our gross assets were
over $25,0000O.
We qualified under the Oklahoma
? guaranty law, February A. 1908, with
less than $4,000 assets. We have
made reports to the State Bank Com
missioner on the following dates fol
the amounts opposite which reports
show net condition of the business
less all doubtful paper, expenses and
! assessments.
