In spite Of the fact that the attor-

;sctded q few days ago that national
banks could not take advantage Of
the Oklahoma law regarding the guar

they do not intend to be guided by
Mr.. Bonaparte's opinion. The nation
al banks will pay their proportion Of

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL TICKET
WHEN A MANS WIRES ARE
CROSSED,

Either Rev. Arthur Rawti, is a wit,
or he takes himself seriously.
Like many well meaning gentle
men, he would put a stop to the evil
Of divorce. He would not burden the
statute books with laws susceptible Of
many interpretations. to confound the
courts, and make men wonder how
the law-givers yer escaped from the
lunatic asylums.
Not he. No, sir. He would make
short work of it, and by a method that
would put a stop to the whole BUSH
less.
Rev. Mr.. Rawti would simply tattoo
all married women on the chin. This
he declares very gravely, would pre-
vent women from seeking either "af-
t.nities'' or divorce.
The reverend gentleman is no doubt
honest in his o:i,af. and is impelled
solely by the idea that what he re-
CARDS as a great and crying evil should
be acknowledgements of the meth
cd followed.
If in earnest he would so MAJ the
natural beauty of woman that he would
render her positively ugly-hideous-
and hence remarriage would be out
of the question. While a woman seek
ing separation from her spouse might
not at the time contemplate another
matrimonial venture. the mere fact
that a tatooed chin would make 1t inn
possible, would cause her to hesitate.
Should the. plan be adopted, he
would inflict not alone upon woman,
hut mankind as well, q punishment
that not even a barbarous people
would permit. For if a woman be-
comes a widow, she would be the most
stunned creature in the world, and
she would find it quite impossible to
secure q second helpmate, for the iden-
teal reason that would make her re-
marriage as a Divorce impossible.
And whether she did or not, the
mere fact that she was tatooed would
make hubby stay down at the club
late O. nights, for what man would
want to be greeted by a tatooed face,
and raise a pair of lips, be they ever
so rudy, to his, if surrounded with
Maori aourishes, indelibly traced with
India ink? Ough!!
Really MI. Rawti would stamp out
one evil by substituting another that
would make a mockery of marriage,
and destroy the sacredness Of the
home circle.
On the other hand, il the gentleman
desires, at n fell swoop, as it were,
to bound into the spot light as a hui
morist, the idea gives him boundless
opportunities to disgust the public
with cheap gibes at the gentle SCI
that will at once make Of him the
most laughed at and ridiculously stu
pid harlequin of the age.
Taken seriously, he will be consid
cred a fit subject for some quiet re
treat. Humorously. the prize ,.clow1
Of the century. lacking only, perhaps
the adornment with which he woult
disf1gure the most beautiful thing II
the entire scheme of creation.
Verify, Nj. Rawti is the victim 0
an idea. He should have it extracted
before some mischievously incline,
woman playfully beats a tattoo on hi
think tank, and jars the balance o
his wheels loose.

New York, Aug. 10-The tone OF the

valued at $14.413,300 and constituting
a record production for the region.

THE AMERICAN FLAG A sTRANG.
Err TO THE SEA.

While there Is a sentiment in the
United States against substituting
ocean going ships, there is a general
demand that our merchant marine
should be restored.
OF course, the American seagoing
trade cam be restored. To DO SO, n
or two alternatives must be adopted:
Either we must substitute the ships,
as do other nations, or admit foreign
bottoms to American register.
Under the law no vessel built
abroad may fly the American flag.
The passage Of this law was for the
purpose Of encouraging the ship-build-
ing industry in this country. Foreign
governments, however, quick to pro-
tect their merchant marine, began to
substitute a fleet OF ocean carriers,
that may be utilized in time Of war,
the vessels to be constructed along
lines approved by the navy depart
ments.
The result was that, whereas 80
per cent Of the American trade was
/ carried in vessels that flew the stars
and stripes, forty years ago, it is
doubtful if 5 per cent is carried today.
American goods go in foreign bot
toms.
Nnw 40 IN Hho raasons.
England pays a heavy subsidy to
ships of certain classes, built In Brit
ish yards that fly her flag. The re.
suit is the ocean greyhounds Of the
Cunarders and the White Star line,
that cross the Atlantic In five days,
These vessels, the fastest In the

Germany has developed a Meet

France goes farther an pays French

every mile they travel, whether they
carry a cargo or not-the rate is sc
high, that they can load with watel
ballast, and make money simly car
rying the flag from port to port, II
search Of a cargo. This explains thu
rapid increase or ships bearing the
tri-colors in the past decade. In ad
dition, these vessels are favored witt
mail contracts. Japan pays a roya4c.
to ships that sail under the colOrs O
Nippon, and her vessels crowd ever!
port laved by the waters OF the Pa
ciic.
The result is competition that n.
American ship can meet-to attemp
it means a steady and a large loss 0
money-as in the case of the Hill
line, which has been abandoned t
the Japanese. These vessels go II
every port on the Pacific, in searcl
of business, which they pick up a
ri%diculausly low rates in an effort t.
control the mastery of that ocean, an
drive the American flag from thos
waters. In doing this they are TAX
ing advantage of the very condition
; we are overlooking.
We want a merchant marine tina
/. will take u flag into every port Q
> the world-and particularly n tina
will carry American goods to foreig7
/ shores, but we refuse either to &C
NIT foreign ships to American regis
ter, or to substitute those that ar
constructed in this country, in orde
that they may compete with thos
Of other powers.

lemma, the American flag will remain

CLERK BORROWS
IMMENSE SUMS
YoItf: Describes How he Signed
EGtes For Sums lie Could
Not Pay.

New York, Oct. IA tow-headed
youth of 10, until recently q SIP a
week clerk in a broker office. was the
star witness at the trial Of Charles
w. Morse, financial man. and promo
ter, who with Alfred H. Curtis, former
president of the National Bank of
North America, is charged with hav-
Ing violated the national banking
laws. 6R%
In the testimony Of Edward P.
Moxey, government bank examiner,
1t had been revealed that person by
the name OF Leslie e. Whiting had
Deen one of the biggest borrowers
from the National Bank of North
America, at one time owing the insti-
tuition as much as $4,000. There
was hardly a week went by in the
year of 1907, the testimony showed,
that Whiting did not borrow 10000
or more, giving ice stock principally
as security. It always appeared in
the record as presented, however,
that the enormous sums of money
borrowed by Whiting were credited
to the account of Charles w. Morse
At the conclusion of Examiner
Moxeys testimony Leslie Whiting
was called to the stand, and those in
the courtroom who had expected to
see a dignified business man step for
ward were astonished to see a
smooth-cheeked boy of under 20 years
walk nervously to the witness stand
After Whiting had been made to de-
scribe how he had come to sign the
notes which made him indebted to the
bank for such large accounts, he was
asked:
"Could you have paid this note I
hold here for SS2,000?" .
What, me-" answered the boy
mo, no; I couldn't"
Gould you have paid a $1,000
note?" pressed the attorney for the
prosecution.
"No, SIR responded the boy,
trifle more assured
For half an hour longer the youth
was kept on the stand, while bunch
of letters, bearing the signature
Leslie E. Whiting" and directed to
the National Bank of North America,
were read. These letters were
couched in businesslike terms and
gave orders to the bank for transfer
ring collateral, charges and renewals
of notes. A sentence in one letter
read: Enclosed please find my check
5000, 900, which apply to my account"
The witness explained in answer to
questions that he had been sent to the
bank by his employers to sign the
notes He said he knew he was in
curing an obligation. but felt sure his
employers would protect the notes.
Whiting testified that he never talked
with Mr. Morse or Mr.. Curtis concern
in the signing Of notes or the putting
up of collateral. The boy also said he
did not think his employer knew that
he was not Of age.
