IND BANK, GUARANTEES

On account of the failure to replace
the money, the bank commissioner
closed the bank at 2:15 p. m, and post
ed on the door the above notice.
! The bank commissioner found that
the deposits were 36,744.93; that
there was cash on hand, $9,574.67; due
from other bands, $7,56403.
Thursday afternoon, Friday and Sat
urday sufficed to completely liquidate
the affairs of the'bank so far as prov
ing and paying depositors was con-
cerned. The bank commissioner drew
on the state guaranty fund for $24,-
S49.73 to furnish additional cash nee
essary to pay all depositors. The re-
naming amount due from other banks,
and paper readily collectable, the state
guaranty fund will be replaced within
thirty days. Therefore. no assessment
on the secured banks is required.
The bank commissioner had the two
offending officers arrested; they are
now out on bond awaiting trial. 1t is
the opinion of the bank commissioner
that after reimbursing the guarantee
fund, the final liquidation of the banks
assets will pay the stockholders about
so cents on the dollar.
The benefit of the Oklahoma bank
ing law, in it's regulation and close in
spection of secured banks, is fully
demonstrated in this case.-Oklaho-
man.
Why should any one, aside from a
coterie of big bankers, object to the
guaranteed deposits plan? Republi-
cans as well as men of all political
parties advocate this plan. yet when
platforms of the two parties were
written, the Democratic platform de-
clared plainly for the plan, while the
Republican platform ignored it.
This is the way the two platforms
look on this subject:

We pledge our

BEETHOVEN CLUB.

At meeting of The Beethoven Club,
last Friday evening, some rare bits of
poetry were composed by several mem
bers and invited guests, the incentive
being two premiums offered by the
club to develop poetical talent, to cul-
tivate the beautiful in sentiment and
enrich our literature. Mr.. A. S..
Chewing won both prizes his pro-
auctions not only being rare, but deep.
He is now covered all over in fame,
only the top Of his head left uncovered
DR.. R. Y. Hindman approached near
the roll of fame but slight error in
his production kept him back in the
ranks of the multitude unknown in the
hall of fame, but DR.. Hindman knows
no encouragement and later may loom
up beacon light. The Compositions

ment, can hardly be doubted, but
too often personal political ambi-
ton reduces patriotism to a min
imum. The difference between
a patriot and a politician, a states
man and a demagoue, is not hard
to understand, but may, in many
instances, be difficult to deter
mine. The well-being, the per-
peturity of our government, rests
only in the ability and patriot
ism of the people, and its great
est danger lies in the besetting
sins of it's partisan politicians
who have unholy ambition to be
placated before the world. Pat
riotism coupled with ability must
be more in evidence than the av-
erage seeker of office possesses,
or else we may expect to drift
away from the high ideals mark
ed out in our Constitution. In
the face OF broken promises, un-
der the CALLING yoke of oppres-
.siye political measures. and the
future clouded with fears and
doubts, it is high time that the
people look we'll to the personal
makeup of the would be rulers.
The man who stands for the
great principles on which our
government rests is safe man,
while the fellow who seeks to
ride a little wave of unrest or
baubling sentiment, may not be
made of the right material Prin-
ciples will stand, policies may
prove wrong, truth is eternal,
sentiment, feeting.

WE'D, APRIL %, 1908,

The friends of Governor John
son are now active in pushing hi!
candidacy for the Democratic
nomination for the Presidency
but in the face of mis- willingness
to make the race, and recogniz.
ing him as a man true to the
bearings of the country, with
ability to successfully conduct
the affairs of the government,
yet we can not accept their claims
that he is the most available man.
We do not believe him to be the
strongest man before the people.
We do not believe him the best
qualified to meet the necessities
of the general government or to
lead us out of the wilderness.
The man among men is w. j.
Bryan, and in our judgment the
logical candidate for the party
and the one who is able to win in
November. His ability is not
questioned, his Democracy un-
furnished, and his fight for bet
ter political living is older than
that of any other public man in
the entire country. There is not
a single reason why we should
prefer Gov. Johnson or listen to
the sentiment of New York and
Maryland in favor of an eastern
man. No man not in keeping
with the demands Of the people
can win, and while our party has
several equal to the emergency,
yet they have not been to the
front like Mr.. Bryan. Mr.. Bry-
an can win and probably Mr..
Gray or Mr. Johnson, but for
twelve years our leader has been
under fire of criticism from mem
bers of his own party, and CEN
sure and abuse from the common
foe, yet no harm been done.
Not only is he the logical man
the man who can get more votes
than any other man, but his rec
ond is spotless and his position
impregnable.

SEVERAL LIVES ARE L0ST/
Missouri River Floods Claim Victims
In the Upper Country.

The most deplorable result of the
Missouri river foods is the loss of
life caused by the raging waters. The
destruction of property is enormous,
but it can be partially replaced at
some future time: the death of rela.
tives and friends Is an afiliction that
must be borne as an incident of the
disaster that can never be effaced
from the memory.
1t is already known that at least six
persons perished in the food, and the
list may be largely increased by later
news. In addition to Peter Bentzen,
of this city, the list includes Gentry
Baker and wife, who were drowned
near Cascade by their buggy being
upset in deep water hole: two child.
rem were drowned at the William Dick
ranch on the upper Missouri river,
about seven miles above Great Falls,
by the capsizing OF a boat; and an
employe OF the Sunnyside sheep ranch
was caught in the flood at that place
and drowned. When commune alton
is had with all the flooded districts
on the upper and lower Missouri, 1t is
feared the death list will grow to large
proportions.
