cent. Every dollar in currency
in the national banking system
means ten dollars of deposits
and ten dollars of bills receiv-
able as appears from the re-
ports of the Comptroller of the
Currency for the last thirty
years. The money in hiding
or in boarding, outside of
pocket change, is estimated at
between thirty and forty per
cent of the currency actually
in bank. and if this money were
brought out of boarding, as it
would be by the guaranty plan
and digested by the banks, it
would mean an increase of de
posits of about thirty per cent
and an increase of bank credits
extended to commerce of as
much more. This would mean
renewed prosperity and what
is of more importance it would
mean stability.
The theory that a corrupt
banker could profit by the
guaranty fund has no founda-
ton. In Oklahoma only a man
of good precedents, of good re:
putation and of good associa-
ton is PERMITTED to have
state charter. He is not per-
mitted to borrow from his own
bank nor make excessive loans.
Before the guaranty fund
could be injured by his failure
every dollar of hie own money,
of his directors money, and
their double liability must
have been exhausted.
A big banker from Chicago
has opposed the guarantee plan
on the theory that this plan
would make the depositor in a
small bank, as safe as in big
bank and would be of more ad.
vantage to the small bank
than to the big bank. The
present line of deposits in big
and little banks alike is COM
posed of depositors each of
whom individually feels entire
ly safe now. And the guar
anty plan would not change
these depositors. 1t would,
however, prevent their making
a run in the future. But the
guaranty plan would benefit
big and little banks alike by
bringing out boarded funds, es-
pecially the small banks. The
big banks would be benefited
also because their additional
funds would be redeposited by
the small banks in the larger
banks according to their usual
custom.
The ordinary depositor is in
fluenced by his environment,
by his acquaintance with the
officers of the bank, with it's
directors. with it's depositors,
or some such personal reasons.
The larger the bank the great.
er these attractions, and the
more the bank will benefit.
The bankers, of all the peo-
pie in the world should cordi-
ally favor the guaratee plan.
The advantage to the ordin-
airy citizen whose cash is de-
posted is too obvious to need
argument. There are fifteen
million depositors in the
United States and this safe
guard and guarantee is of the
humble citizen. Why should
not the citizen depositor be
safe? It costs them nothing.
Why should he be left unpro-
tected against the possible
folly or actual crime of an &C.
casional bank officer. His pro-
lection is beneficial to the hon.
est banks. Why should he be
unable when the United States
and every state and every
municipality requires security
for their deposits7

A FINE HOTEL.
A Few of the Leading Features of the
sBisonte'' at Hutchinson

Hutchinson, famous for its salt
plants, the reformatory, Cow creek and
w. 7. Morgan, has added another at
traction to its list. This is the BIZ
hotel, which was opened for business
a few days ago. It is here passengers
on trains Nos. and 10 get breakfast
and Nos 1 and get supper.
The old English of the Tudor period
was used in this hotel. The huge
building is of brick and has heavy
gables and red tile roof. Large veran-
das surround the house. AS a rule
hotels and particularly railroad hotels
present forbidding appearance to the
would-be guest Frequently If one de-
sires to remain in the open air he
must stand up like a cigar store IN
dian or take chair from the LOBBY
and crowd the sidewalk. The Bisonte
like the Castaneda, the Cardenas, the
Alvarado, the Escalante and FL Tovar
is we'll provided for the comfort Of
those who like to spend some of their
time outdoors. Nothing could be more
inviting on hot day than the com
modious, we'll shaded porches which
are prominent and appreciated adj
juncts.
Inside. luxury and refinement are
evident in the furnishings. The lobby
furniture and decorations are of an
early English period The woodwork
is old Cathedral brown. the walls be-
ing of a lighter shade. In this room
is an immense open fireplace, with
huge black English andirons. The
floor of this room is of mosaic thing.
the pattern being especially designed
for the hotel The lobby chairs were
also specially designed and are cover
ed with heavy brown or black leather.
They ought to be good and comfort
able as their cost ranges from hfty
dollars to one hundred dollars each.
The writing room OF the average
hotel is a nightmare. In this hotel
you will find Individual writing desks,
insuring that privacy dear to letter
writer's whether they are writing or
ders to the house or creating epis-
tolary CONNECTIONS for best girls. An
open fireplace in this room adds that
homeHke appearance so often lacking
in these days of improved heating
methods.
One hundred and twenty-five guests
can find lodgings here There are
bedrooms are beautifully decorated.
The carpets and draperfes of each
room correspond with the color of the
walls and the upholstery of the furni-
ture. In great many rooms the fur
niture is OF solid mahogany; in others
of fumed oak Some rooms have
solid brass bedsteads.
If, after you are ready for bed you
decide you do not want to sleep, the
lights may be turned out and the cleo
trio reading lamp at the head of the
bed turned on You may then read
until you do feel like sleeping.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 2O.-The
Fulton brothers have a monopoly
upon one brand OF congressional fame
which is absolutely original and
unique. They are in different politi-
cal parties and in different branches
of the government at the same time.
Elmer L. Fulton is a member of the
house of representatives from Okla
homa and is a Democrat. Charles A
Fulton is a senator from Oregon and
Republican.
Brothers have served in congress
before. For instance, Charles B. Lam
dis and Frederick Lands, both broth
ers of Judge Kenesaw N. Lands of
Chicago, represented districts in In
diana in the 59th congress, but they
both belonged to the Republican par
ty. Some years ago there were two
brothers in congress at the same time,
one In the senate and one in the
house, but they, too. belonged to the
same political party. The Fultons are
the only brothers who ever came to
congress together but divided against
themselves politically. Senator Full
ton was born in Lima, o. When he
was years old his parents moved to
Magnolia, Ia Here Congressman
Fulton was born. From Iowa the no
madic family proceeded to Pawnee

JIM GROW LAW IN EFFECT.
Railroads Comply With New STATE
Law on Trains


Shawnee, Okla, Feb. 20.-The Santa
F'e has put the Jim Crow law into eff
feet on all its passenger trains in the
state. Jim Crow notices were posted
in conspicuous places on the trains,
and the negroes made to take their
part, which is partitioned off from the
other. The law was enforced to the
letter.
The Rock Island, in issuing orders,
stated to the crews that the law be-
came effective on Sunday, but to be
careful in Its enforcement prior to
that day. This was because of the
different interpretations given the law
as to when 1t went in force. 1t is in
force on the Rock Island now and par
titions in the cars which were turned
out at the Shawnee shops. are made
for the negroes.
The Katy has separate cars in some
instances and in others just parti-
lions with the signs posted in promi-
nent places. The law Is being en-
forced, and the negroes are made to
take the place assigned.
The depots have not been fixed as
yet for the Jim Crow law, but all the
roads state that they are getting ready
as rapidly as possible.

October Receipts Are ABOUT the
Same for Two Years.
New York, Feb 20.-An official of
the Missouri Pacific Railroad COM
pany said yesterday:
The statement of the earnings of
the Missouri Pacific Railroad COM
pany in the financial article of the
Tribune of today was greatly in error
in placing the earnings of the COM
pany for October. 1907. at about ST.
100000, compared with about twice
that amount for October. 1906. The
facts are that the writer of the article
compared the earnings of the Mis-
souri, Pacific proper for October.
1907, against the earnings of the en-
tire Missousi Pacific system for Octo-
Der, 1906, forgetful of the fact that
the systems earnings should have
been used both years in making the
comparison. The Missouri Pacific
systems gross and net earnings for
October, 1907, closely Appropriated
those of the same month for the pre-
ce5ing year.

tion: What do you think Of a Twenty
Pay Life contract at age 35, premium
s36.22, per $1,000 insurance, which abb
solutely guarantees the insured that in
case he does not, for any reason, pay
the second premium, the company will
either refund him $12 Of the money
paid on each $1,000 insurance, or carry
the whole policy, whether 1t be for
81, 900 or $4,000, one year and 134 days
after the expiration Of the first year,
and pay 1t in full without deducting a
cent in case Of death Of insured, or is
sue a paid up policy for $2S on each
$1,000, payable at death whenever
that event occurs?" The reply was: Il
think such a contract too good"
