AN OBJECT LESSON.
Guthrie, Okla, June ?, 1.

Guthrie, Okla, June 21, 1908.
 The Depositors Guaranty Law Was passed December IT, 1907, anj was made operative February II, 1903. Bank reports show that the effect Of the law began weeks before the law Was in actual operation.
 There are now 551 banks unu,r t;- law ii this state, including 54 national banks. There are 2o3 unsecured banks .a'' nationaD in the state
 The dates of statement calls were as fellows:

 For State Banks-December II, 1907. February %, 1908. and May II l90S
 From December 3, 1901 to February if. 1908, the deposits in the unsecured banks decreased about an even half million. The secured national banks for the same period gained in deposits about $520.000. State banks. Gall se cured) for the period from December il. 1907, to February 29, 1908, show an increase in deposits of $716,74947.
 For the period ending May If se- toured national banks show an in- crease in deposits of $645, ,41361

 Total decrease of deposits in all unsecured banks, December to May, per reports, $1.100.S07 S6
 Total decrease of deposits of state funds in both classes of banks last Iperiod $691 .45326.
 So it is apparent that there is $3,- lS2S,4i062 more individual deposits in banks in Oklahoma than before the Depositors Guaranty Law was passed and the secured banks have been the beneficiaries.
 The above is correct.

America will reap the first fruits of all these advantages. Physicians and sociologists assert that, through this congress and as a direct result for the prize competitions, the fight for the eradication of consumption in this country will be advanced many years.
 The prizes that are offered will pit nations, municipalities and individ- uals against each other They will develop utilities that will protect the healthy, heal the sick, decrease the nations death rate and add to the national wealth.
 As this congress will eclipse all others of it's kind ever held anywhere, Iso does the list of prizes surpass in value and in wisdom of selection those offered by previous congresses. Es- pecially evident is the regard for the health and strength of the nations working men and their families.

orlv hope of the Latins lies in the development at some far distant day of the republics of South America; T faint and ill-founded hope at best.
 There may come time when
 France will accept the challenge which the German emperor is con ssanflv Haunting in her face, and seek 10 regain her lost prestige on bloOdy battle fields. but it will hardly be in this generation. Germany has developed her resources and grown in population and wealth with wonderful energy in the last twenty or thirty years. while France has shown a de- crease in population and has appa- lcntly reached the end of her re- sources so far as wealth and the worlds trade and commerce. are con- cerned.

These seems to be no hope of another Napoleon and if he should come he would find very poor materials to work with. It is hardly likely that Napoleon the Great could make worlds conquerors out of the present faint hearted, thoroughly whipped French republicans.
 And so while the menacine tread oe German battalions is heard on the borders of France, the French press cry out in consternation and dismay, calling on all Europe and the rest of the world to witness their pacific and honorable motives in dealing with Morocco. We can imagine Emperor William laughing in his sleeve at the Lusillanimity of the French. and going calmly ahead laying the clever plans for the expansion of German trade and influence which have earped him the title of .sthe best drummer in Eu rope"

question can be passed upon by men
 who are not skilled in financial mat tcrs It is a simple question, and for solution by those having money to de- posit in banks. The foregoing state ment shows clearly that banks whose deposits are guaranteed by something more than an imposing list of resour-
 ces and an irreproachable directory get the business.
 The bank failures of the past six months, most of them due to rascality and abuse of confidence, have made the bank depositor cautious, and he wants to know, when he puts money in bank that he can get it when he
 wants it. That is the main question; :; lit is all that is necessary to know. If the plank in the Democratic plat form can guarantee greater security for bank deposits it is what the people want and what they will vote for.

THE SHAME OF FRANCE.

The Kansas City Journal thinks that the spectacle of France cringing un- der the German kaisers mailed fist hungry as a bear for the honeyed spells of primacy in Morocco and yet whining with pain and dismay when Germany hits her greedy fingers. is a striking reminder of the decadence of this once powerful country. and, in deed, of the Latin race throughout the Old World To the student of history it suggests a mighty fall from the Napoleonic days when France was the arbiter of European destinies, and further back for the ten centuries and more. since the time of Charlemange the Great. during which the French fieur de lis was an emblem of ac- knowledged supremacy on the conti- nent of Europe
 Ever since the fall of the Roman empire the Latin countries, Italy France and Spain. have ruled Europe with more or less undisputed sway until nearly forty years ago, when Bismarck, the man of blood and iron. cemented with the blood of Prussia bravest the petty Teutonic principalities into the present tri- umphant German empire Italy long retained some semblance of the Ro- man empires departed greatness through the elories of Rome and Venice: Spain eXerted almost despotic power for generations, eliminating il the splendid reign of Charles the Fifth, and finally crumbling under the crushing defeat of the naughty Kine Philips Spanish Armada at the hands Of the little fleet equipped and sent out by Enslands maiden queen, Eliza.

Commercial travellers are noted
wags, and here is a nice little 'sell''
which one Of them played the other
day on a storekeeper in Fargo. While
discussing affairs over the counter
with the storekeeper and some others
present, the traveller said:
do you know this? l hear for a
fact that the old S. gold pieces of
1864, '65 and '66 are selling in Chica-
go for 81 and 49,"
The storekeeper uttered an exclama-
ton of surprise, and said:
well, if that is fact, wish they
would send a quantity of them to Far

WHAT" exclaimed the traveller, "do
you not believe what l have said?''
Certainly not" replied the store
keeper
"Will you take bet on the AFFAIR."

A bet of SO was then and there reg
istered, when the traveller turning to
the assembled gentlemen, said:
How much, gentlemen, does 81 and
So amount TOP
Five dollars" was the unanimous
cry, when the whole company saw
that they had been done.

Canary Matches Wild Birds Eggs.


Hilma Anderson of Oliver street,
Everett, few days ago was wandering
in the fields when she found bird s
nest on the ground with several pale
blue eggs with brown speckles. Gu
rious to know If her pet canary would
sit On the eggs, she took the nest to
her home and placed it in the corner
of the birds cage.
Gleefully chirped the little canary,
and soon realized that there was moth
ing the net work of hair and grass
to hurt her. Upon examination the
pet Of the home soon became bold,
and, when she spied the eggs in the
nest, her motherly nature was aroused
and in a moment she was peacefully
nestled. She remained On the nest
for the rest Of the day, leaving it only
to satisfy her hunger and thirst.
Day after day the canary sat on the
eggs, and all were astonished yester-
day morning as they entered the
room to see the canary excitedly fly
ing and hopping about her little home.
Proudly she chirped as Hilma ap
preached, and to her great delight the
child found the eggs Matched and
three tiny featherless birds nestled in
the corner.

NO QUESTION Asour DAVIDSON

No surprise is manifested over the
announcement by Gov. Davidson, in
response to flattering call on him
by a number of Milwaukee Republic

one why he should not be.

chance for the affair at the capitol to

ton. He is us familiar with state
business, in all OF it's departments, as
any man who ever occupied the office
of governor. He knows it as Il good
merchant knows his store.
Gov. Davidson is more entitled to
the office for another term than he
was for this one term. He has done

some authorities insisted he should he
called. Now he has proven what his
friends said of him then. He is a
model governor.
One reason for keeping him where
he is for another two years Is the
building of the new capitol, about
which not much is being said, fol
some reason, or lack of reason, fol

That is big and important under
taking, and it is progressing rapidly

The Common Council of Lady
smith, by tabling the complaints
against certain saloon keepers at
the meeting Monday night, started
in a course which, if persisted in, will
result in the increase of prohibition
votes at the next election. A COM
plant against a saloon keeper has as
much right to consideration as the
petition of a saloon keeper for a new
license; in fact, where both come be-
fore the same meeting, the complaint
has the legal, as we'll as the natural,
right to be considered first. The
members of the council were all
elected on non-partisan tickets, but
even if they had all been elected on
license tickets, they are the repre-
sentatives of all the people OF their
respective wards, and not OF any
particular class. The people who
