GUARANTEEING DEPOSITS.

The guarantee of bank deposits plan
recently had a test as to it's worka
bility in the new state of Oklahoma.
A bank at Guthrie failed, it being the
first failure under the new law which
provides a guarantee to the depoSitors
by the state. The banks deposits
amounted to $4,000. and the fund was
called upon for $22, 900. Every deposit
tor was paid in full within ten days
from the time the bank closed it's
doors
The state banking department is
liquidating the asets of the bank to
reimburse the fund for the outlay.
There was little or no excitement over
this failure, except that caused by
the most unusual circumstance of de-
positors getting their money almost as
quickly as would have been the case
if the bank had been solvent and they
had wanted their money
We hear of no runs on other banks
| in that locality. no failures of business
houses. nor suicides of individual de-
positors, and it does appear as if the
friends of this plan for national banks
are really advocating an amendment
/ to our national bank act that is worthy
of most serious consideration-Suc

COSTLY ERROR FOR
THE WHITE HOUSE

A unique. advertising plan has been
inaugurated by the White House
Clothing company for the sale which
is to open tomorrow morning, and all
through an error of the sign writer,
who PREPARED the large signs on the
exterior of the building. Two of the
signs should have been duplicates,
but in writing them, the painter made
an error in one of them, and the man
agement of the White House has an
nounced that, beginning Saturday
morning. an Cakes $500 hat will be
presented free of charge to the first
five people who go to the store, find
the error in the sign and point it out
to the proprietor.
Just which one of the signs contains
the error and which is correct may tax
the thoughtfulness of those who COM
pete for the prizes, but an error will
be found on one of the signs, and the
White House management will make
good it's offer upon being Informed just
where the sign writer erred.

ENTHUSIASTIC RALLY
IN BERNEY SCHOOL

The people of Small precinct were
made aware of the existence of the
democratic party last night, when a
most enthusiastic rally was held in
the Berney school house. The meeting
was attended by 81 voters by actual
count, which when compared with the
republican meeting last week, which
was attended by A voters. also by act
ual count, gives the democrats
much encouragement in that precinct.
Chairman Drumheller, of the demo-
cratic county committee, says that re-
ports he has received from other meet
ings throughout the county are to the
effect that the democratic meetings
have, in practically every instance,
been attended by from so to IS per
cent more people than were the repub-
lican meetings in the same localities.
Last nights meeting was ad-
dressed by F. A. Garrecht and c. w.
Masterson, democratic candidates for
the legislature in the Thirteenth dis
trict, and by T. A. Paul. and the
strong points made by the democratic
orators aroused the audience to a high
point of enthusiasm.

Charles 3 hanford.


The opening of Charles B. Hanford's
tour gives promise of a continuation of
last seasons enthusiastic approval.
The following newspaper comments
are like the proverbial straw and show
the current and popular feeling to-
wards his productions this season.
Mr. Charles B. Hanford, accom-
panied by Miss Marie Drofnah and
good company, presented Shakes
peareS great pastoral comedy of The
Winters Tale at the Academy of Mu-
sic last night, and it may be said that
no better presentation of the same
play has ever been given in that play
house, or any other, for the produc-
ton was perfect. Mr. Hanford has
played many parts in his time, but
nothing in which he has appeared has
great artist that he really is as in the
dual role of "Leontes, King of Sicillia,'
and "Autolycus," a rogue, which char
acter he impersonated last night in a
most finished manner.
THE same is true of Miss Drofnah
whose portrayal of the characters
HHermione," Queen of Leontes and
'Perdita," a daughter of the king. In
the trial scene. this gifted actress
reached the highest point of great
ness, and if anything were needed tc
establish her as a great artist, it was
found in the manner of her imperson-
alton of these two difficult roles
Every scene was rich and elegant, and
everybody enjoyed the performance.

| When Mr. Taft was in Chicago re-
Gently. he took occasion to resort tic
the common practice of many republl-
can speakers to call up the dead to
! substantiate their statements. The
dead can neither deny nor refute, and
| hence it is sometimes safe for. republl-
can orators and office seekers to call
them as witnesses. BY some means an
| inquisitive man gained admission to
| Orchestra hall, where Mr.. Taft spoke
| to a select company who had been
! specially invited to hear him, and who
| We're admitted by card only. After Mr.
Taft had sought to explain his ia
nous injunction in the Toledo and Ann
| Arbor case, and to justify his action,
one of his hearers asked if the late P.
NJ Arthur, who was grand chief of
the Brotherhood of locomotive Engi-
neers. had not denounced that decision.
To this question Mr.. Taft replied:
He did, until he read the decision,
which was long one. After Mr. Ar
thur had read it, however. he came to
the conclusion that the decision was
just"
Mr. Arthur is dead and cannot re-
flute Mr.. Tafts claim that he approved
his decision. There is documentary
evidence, however, still in existence,
which completely disproves Mr.. Tafts
assertion. AS grand chief of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
Mr. Arthur was also editor of the jour
nal of the brotherhood. Long after
Judge Tafts decision, and while Mr..
Arthur was still editor of the Jour
nal there appeared in that paper a
strong editorial denouncing it.
The editorial concludes as follows:
''We cannot accept Judge Tafts de-
cision in any other light than treason
to republican institutions and the lib
critics of the people 1t is, will be, and
ought to be denounced and repudiated
by all liberty-loving men. If the deci-
sion stands as the decision of the high
est tribunal of the land, it will be
defied and violated by the highest
earthly tribunal-the people.
I'VE believe that the members of
| the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers and Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen are what is termed free
American citizens, whose loyalty to
state has never been impeached, and
we do not believe we can be deprived
of the liberty vouchsafed to US by
| the constitution without due process
of law" .55

| that the decision was just" Mr.. Ar
/ thur is dead and if iS Drpba hle thai
Mr.. Taft, when delivering his Chicago
speech, did not know of the existence
of this editorial.

in four acts THE Girl of Eagle Ranch"
written by Hal Reid and said to be one
of his best efforts. The cast is headed
by that clever and talented little COM
edienne Flora Young which is enough
to assure local theatergOers that the
play is a success. If you are happy
it will make you happier; if you are in
trouble it will make you forget it.
The play tells story of a waif among
the hills of Nevada who not knowing
her parents is reared by an old miner
as his adopted daughter, but there ar
rives upon the scene a stranger from
the east who gets some papers which
the old miner has saved and declares
the child is his own long lost daughter
and from that time on the trouble be-

ence is held till the final fall of the

A bitter struggle is being waged

ASK DORSEY ABOUT, 1T.

There have been just a few small
souled people who, on reading The
Evening Statesman's expose of the du-
plicity of J. D. Bassett, printed in
yesterday afternoons paper, have
come to the conclusion that this
newspaper was trying to cover up
some of the truth in order to play a
little politics.
The Evening Statesman expects to
play fair in this campaign. 1t has suffi-
cient facts and arguments at its COM
mand. without resorting to misrepre-
Sentation.
AS far as Mr. Bassett is concerned
The Evening Statesman can reach but
one conclusion and that is that, know
ing that the notorious tax exemption
law is unpopular here, knowing that
the farmers union has sought to have
the measure repealed he wants to
make it appear that he did not vote for
this" bill, when as a matter of fact
he did vote for it.
Dorsey NJ. Hill is a republican and
is man whose word ought to be
taken without question on matters OF
fact. Just to keep the record straight
why not ask Mr.. Hill if he did not
hear Mr.. Rassett say that he did not
vote for the tax exemption law, ant
that he was opposed to this notoriou:
measure?
And then look on page 4S5 of the
house journal and see for your.
self that Mr.. Bass-it voted yea OF
sage.
To fair minded people, it would
look as if it was Mr. Bassett's move

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Are Voters to be Fooled?


The liquor interests of the state
seem to have discovered that the pop
ular sentiment in favor of local OPP
ton or prohibition is so strong that
1t is useless to try to prevent the
election of a legislature which will
carry out the expressed will of the
people. Unable to find candidates
for the legislature who are willing to
accept their Endorsement, they are
now devoting their energies to dis
covering which candidates for the
legislature will be the least antagOn-
istic to them, and hope to be able
to defeat the passage of the law
which is proposed by the anti-saloon
league and get one through which
will be as weak as possible, making
the unit the precinct in incorporated
cities, which would practically insure
the continuance of the saloons in GER
tain localities regardless of the
wishes of the people of the city as a
whole.
Their idea is that theword 'rea-
sonable" in the platform makes +
possible for those candidates who
have pledged themselves to stand
upon it to hedge and vote against
any bill except one which would be
the least Objectionable to the saloons.
There are candidates in each dis
trict who have declared themselves
as squarely in favor of an effective
local option law, and these are the
men should receive the support of
those who are in favor of such a
measure There should be no quib-
bling or sidestepping on this ques-
ton, which is one of the principal
issues of the campaign. The people
want local option and they should
have it.-Spokane Chronicle.
