The Oklahoma Way.

Tie following report ON an Oklahom-
bank failure shows the way they do
things in that democratic common
wealth:
"The Information Bank of Coalgate
was reported to the band commissioner
by II OF his examiners a few days ago
Tor violating the banking law Of the
state, particularly in its managing ofic-
ers borrowing from the depositors'
money.
'.The bank commissioner at once Wis
tied the bank in person and found the
the total deposits were about $37, 600,
OF which the president, L. A. Connors,
owed over $4,000, and the cashier, l..
Ely, owed over 81, 000-in other words
about thirty per cent of the deposits had
been borrowed by the two managing Of
ficeTs. The bank commissioner demand
ed that they Immediately replace the
money. They failed to do so. lie closed
the bank at 2:15 Thursday evening; tele-
phoned the state banking board; reeeiv-
ed instructions to Immediately proceed
to pay all depositors. III forty-two
minutes from the closing of the bank
commissions was ready to pay
approved deposits. BY Friday even
ing sixty per cent of the depositors
had appeared, approved their claims and
money. BY the end of the second day
ninety per cent of all deposits had been
paid. A few depositors who live in the
country don't seem to be in a hurry
about drawing their deposits. One far
mer is reported as answering over the
rural telephone that he is too busy to
come after bis money, but will want it
in a week or SO.
I'm the meantime both the president
and the cashier have been arrested for
the violation of the state banking law,
and are held under heavy bond.
"There will probably he no loss to
the state garanty fund and no assess.
ment required Oh ether banks. Lidui-
dati0n Will likely reimburse the state
fund within thirteen days. The loss
viii probably not exceed the capital

Liberty Fire Notes.
Mr.. Editor:

There has been a practice Of, out
siders interfering with the duties OF our
firemen in times OF fire which l think
should be noted by our ~townspeople. As
i'll the case the fire on Sunday morning,
outsiders, not only our townspeople but
from out of town, have interfered to such
an extent as to handicap our firemen in
the performance OF their duties. We
have been unjustly critisized on several
occasions and the following facts should
be noted by those persons.
The Liberty Fire Co. is composed O
members who voluntarily give their
services for the protection of the com
munity and the Chief is vested with GER
tain authority by the Borough Council
relatives to interference by outsiders il
times OF fire, which, if used would be
very embarrassing to those concerned.
l take this opportunity OF informing
persons, other than members of Liberty
Fire Co. No. l, that it these offences arr
repeated other measures will be taken tt
put a stop to it. DAVID JOHNSON, Chief

The Great Treasury Deficit.

The Literary Digest presents some of
the comments made by republican
newspapers concerning republican adj
ministration. Following is an extact:
1.-THE republican party is warned by
one of its own leading organs, the st.
Louis Globe-D Democrat, that the pres
ent deficit at the beginning of a presi-
Dental canvass is an awkward thing
altho it believes 'the signs are for a
steady improvement. If we are to be,
lieve astill higher republican authority
however, Chairman Tawney, of the
house appropriations committee, the
signs are for a steady deterioration.
At the end of April the treasury show
ed deficit of oyer $50, O00, 900, as COM
pared with a surplus of over $55, 900, 900
atyear before, making a difference of
S105, 900, 900. BY the end of June,
when the fiscal year end, Mr.. Tawney
predicts that the deficit will reach $50,
100000 or $65000, 900, as contrasted with
surplus of $S7, OOO, 600 on June 80, 1907,
a difference of $500 900. And as if
this were not enough, MI. Tawney de-
cla1es there will be an almost certain
deficit of not less than S150,000,0 900 at
the ond of the next fiscal year"
This big balance on the wrong side
of the ledger is attributed partly to the
falling off in revenues, caused by the
hard times, and partly to the increased
government expenditures. The gov
eminent expenses for April, 1908, for
example, were nearly $12, 000, 900 in ex-
cess OF its expenses for the same month
of1907. Not a few papers regard this
increase as extravaganza.

the lack Of outburst when the Taft
