BANKS ACROSS The STATE
line FEELING ITS EFFECT
Probability is That Arkansas, Texas
and Kansas Will Be Forced to
Adopt a Similar Measure-And
Other States Likewise.

Guthrie, Okla, April S.-When the
Solons of the Oklahoma legislature
passed a law requiring all State banks
to subscribe to a fund for the protec-
ton of depositors against loss through
bank failures, the wise men of the
East INDUCED in some very fiippant
an cynical criticisms of the scheme
and declared that it would be fail
ure. While the period of less than
two months that has elapsed since the
law became effective may not have
been sufficient to provide a fair test
there is every probability that the
Oklohoma law has come to stay and
that other States will be forced to
pass similar laws in order to protect
their own banks.
Whatever may be said against the
law, it has served to restore public
confidence in the banks and to bring
out much money from hiding. The

from Indiana, who for nearly eight
years has been working TO perfect
this machine. He recently made a
successful test of the apparatus be-
tween Logansport and Fort Wayne,
Ind, and following this he applied FOR
patent. This attracted the atten-
ton of some California capitalists,
and upon his going to San Francisco
and demonstrating his machine plans
were made at once for putting 1t upon
the market. The same company
which now operates the "telautoprint"
is preparing to manufacture the Burl-
ingame machine, the former receiving
the message upon tape and the latter
In sheet form. The first demonstra-
ton was given in Los Angeles, and
from there Mr.. Burlingame came d.
rectly here, where the outfit will be
on exhibition for about ten days.
The advantages of Mr.. Burlin-
games invention over former ones of
this nature is that it entirely elimi-
mates the use of the Morse code and
the need of telgrapher at either end
and makes it possible for anyone who
can manipulate a typewriter to send
message.
AS the inventor stood by his ma.
chine yesterday and quietly struck
the keys on the sending machine and
at the same time the receiving ma
chine on the other side of the room
reproduced the message, the keys
striking the letters and the carriage
shifting as though by human hand,
and finally turning out an exact copy
of the message originally sent, it made
those present rub their eyes to find
out if they we're really awake.
Mr.. Burlingame's outfit consists Of
two ordinary typewriters set upon
simple electrical devices. Although
the wire stretched between them is
only few feet, it is said that the
resistance between the two machines
Is equal to $50 miles. The machine
can be used either for ordinary tele-
graphy or for wireless use.
1t is thought that the new machine
win in time be invaluable to news
paper offices, when an out-of-town
correspondent can take his own ma
chine to telegraph office, have it at

The banks across the State bound
aries, in Kansas, Texas and Arkansas
are beginning to feel the effects of
the Oklahoma competition through a
shrinkage of deposits. The drain has
not set in heavily as yet, but with
increasing public confidence in the
practicability and desirability of the
new act, there is no doubt that these
States will, in the course of few
years, be forced to adopt similar

SPROVING splendid SUCCESS

national banks have generally stood
aloof from the law, and have suf-

of the State-guaranteed banks. While
there has been no remarkable rush
of money from other States, hundreds
of people have taken advantage OF
protection afforded by the Oklahoma

were mainly small sums, but now

Put Money In the Schools.

That matter of most popular concern
discussed at the meeting of tha board of
education reported in The Star last even
ing. related to fireproof and non-fireproof
school buildings. According to the re-
port, The protection of school children
in the District from fire danger will be
given careful consideration by the board
of education during the coming year. and
if the board carries out the recommends
lions of its committee on ways and means
1t will ask Congress for a large appro-
priation to make school buildings safe in
the event of fire"
With the Collinwood holocaust wildly
In mind. the board of education sought at
the last session of Congress to secure an
adequate appropriation. but the answer
Of the national legislature was an APP
preparation of $4,000 This was expended
in fireproof1ng furnace rooms. erecting
fire escapes and making certain changes
in school buildings in the interest of safe
ty. thus lessening but not obviating dan
ger of fire
May good luck and success attend the
effort of the school authorities to secure
funds to render the present school build
ings at least fire resistant, and hereafter
may no school building be erected that Is
not f1reproof. With the increase in the
price of lumber and the advance In the
application of cement and metal In con-
struction work. it ought not to cost very
much more to build a f1reproof school
house than to set up a fire trap How
ever. 1t is the safety of the children and
not the cost of the building that should
be considered. Dollars ought not to be
weighed against life. Crowding children
into a school building that is not fire
proof is not public policy; it is infamy.
The tendency of the times is to make
the schooroom a safe place for chill
dren. Various sanitary measures are pre-
scribed and enforced for the safety of
the young ones, yet the fire danger is
often treated as one so remote as not to
be considered.
There is no reason or sentiment in stint
ing funds for schoolhouses. More and
more is the schoolhouse coming to be the
training ground of American citizens.
The schoolmaster Is the guardian of
the republic.
Let the government put plenty of money
into the schoolhouse. Let it be sanitary
and let it be fireproof. Let some taxpay-
ers. short on public spirit. grumble If
they will, but, anyhow, put money in the

The Washington Tree Box.

Tree Guards, Ornamental and Other
WISE Is the title of an article in Suburb
an Life, and in this article the Washing
ton tree box is classed unsightly. This
is qualified, however, and made more
palatable to Westinghouse by the dec
laration that these tree guards are eff
ficient. The writer's own language fol-
lows:
Because they are easily made and are
cheap. wooden guards of various de-
signs are extensively used in small towns
They do not as a rule. add to the beauty
of the tree, but protect 1t from injury
and are better than no guards at all. The
square wooden box surrounding the tree
is the most common style. Sometimes
narrow boards are used. fastened to
strip of sheet-iron and wrapped around
the tree like barrel slaves. The wooden
guard is used for young trees in the city
of Washington, where the trees are under
municipal control. These guards are
rather clumsy and cumbersome. but are
from injury and keeping them upright
until the roots take firm hold of the
ground The guard consists of square
wooden box of yellow pine, nailed to
four chestnut stakes driven obliquely into
the ground. The tree is fastened to the
four corners of the box by means of
leather straps The boxes are left for
eight or nine years. After that time they
are removed and hexagOnal wire netting
is placed around the trees. Wire guards
are very serviceable, and their use is
now becoming general in many American
cities
In a number of European cities unique
and artistic tree guards are the rule. In
the larger cities. London. Paris and Ber-
lin. and in parts of other cities where
traffic Is heavy and there are trees in
the streets the tree guards are of iron.
are ornamental. and in some instances
have a grill work at the base of the trunk
that the roots may be protected and that
they may enjoy large share Of moisture
and air.
Attention is called to another plan for
protecting trees from damage by the
trampling and caking OF the soil above the
roots. This plan has been adopted for
the protection of young trees lately plant
ed in Central Park. New York. The pave
ment is not closed around the tree, a
large breathing space being left around
the trunk base-larger than that left
around the street trees of Washington.
This space is top soiled and sodded and
a foot high iron railing set around it.

Progress Of Night Riding

The danger of the spread of that form
of anarchy called night riding to which
The Star directed attention few days
ago. Is appreciated and apprehended by
many OF the thoughtful people of the
south. In some of the southern states the
night rider is in the saddle. He has ap-
peared in the cotton districts. dispatch
from Raleigh says word received there
from Cleveland county is that large cot
ton ginner has been served with notice by
a band OF cotton growers. intent on keep
ing the new crop off the market. that we
are determined that cotton shall be held
till the price reaches Il cents. and that in
order to facilitate the advance it has been
determined that all ginning Of raw cotton
shall cease for the present" The notice
warns this ginner that unless he closes
his ginnery, night riders will attend to
him and that his ginnery will be burned.
Night riding lawlessness seems to have
made considerable Roadway in Mississippi.

state has written this to the New Orleans

There is no reason why people should
wonder at the peacemaking, handclasping
and lovefeasting of hitherto political enc
mics. The burial of the Ratchet is a
common though picturesque ceremony. A
politician who will not bury a Ratchet
now and then has no standing in poll
tics The principal use of the Ratchet
in politics is to have Itself buried, for
when politicians are on the warpath 1t
is net a Ratchet they use. 1t is an ak.
These reunions Of old party foemen
ought to cause no wonder. Politics is
business, and 1t is usually good business to
compose differences-that is. on the sur
face. Nearly everybody at some time or
other makes up" Men who have pro-
fessional or business rivalry may not feel
friendly at times toward each other. and
at times may break into hostility and say
things in hot blood that they only think
in cold blood, and finally make up. Even
neignpors after disa greement over the
children or the chickens will exchange
some culinary offerings hot from the oven
and make up Then everybody feels bet
