Mr.. NoRToN's VIEW.

o. w. Norton of Chicago comes to the
front in a sarcastic argument against
the proposition for the government to
guarantee the deposits in national
banks. In an interview Mr.. Norton
says:
THE national banks have a mean
way of discriminating among appli-
cants for loans. One business man or
firm can get his notes discounted read
lily for any reasonable sum, while an
other is refused a loan because the bank
doubts his ability to repay the amount
advanced. If the government would
guarantee the payment of all notes dis
counted by national banks and all de-
posits made in national banks one bank
would be as good as another. and one
mans note as good as that of another.
While the banking system is being over
hauled, why. not arrange it so that every
one will be satisfied ?"
The same line of argument might be
carried further. Why doesn't somebody
urge the passage of an acW guarantee
ing merchants against dead beats, or an
act requiring merchants to extend the
same lines of credit to all Corners. or
both? If we follow Mr. Nortons rea-
soning correctly. he must be of the
opinion that every man is entitled to
as much credit from his grocer, his
butcher, his baker as any other man.
Also the seller is entitled to protec-
ton.
The fact, nevertheless, remains, that
the guarantee idea is growing rapidly
in popular favor. Kansas is considering
the passage of an act similar to the one
in force in Oklahoma. The Ohio legis-
lature has before it legislation of like
character. The matter has not been
brought officially before congress yet,
but it is likely to be put there before
the present session is ended, though the
passage of a national guarantee act is
altogether improbable. This if for no
other reason than that Mr.. Bryan sug-
gested it.
1t is a little early for any authorita-
tive statement as to the successful OPP
GRAFTON of a state or a national guaran-
tee law In Oklahoma it has worked
amazingly well thus far, but the law
has been operative only a few weeks
Two or three years, at least, are neces-
saTy to a fair test. The banks of Ok
lahoma, however, are overfowing with
money. Many deposits have been with
drawn from banks in Kansas and placed
in the institutions of the new state
The national banks of Oklahoma are
preparing TO comply with the require
ments of the new law by changing to
state banks. They find this step neces-
sary for their own protection.

fact that the heart had been cut al

after death could not be determined.
Another discovery which may
have some bearing on the case was

BUYING IN SMALL AMOUNTS.
Problem Of the Butcher in Light
Housekeeping Neiehborhoods.

THE man who runs grocery and
fruit store with a meat market attach
ment in a light housekeeping neigh
borhood is always sure Of his share of
funny experiences" said a man who
has just this sort of job in upper Man
haitian, according TO the New York
Sun.
These light housekeeping custom
ers take more of our time in proper
ton 10 the money they leave with us
than any other class, but they keep
us so amused, and they're usually so
young and pretty and jolly tnat we
never think OF really getting mad at
them.
Buying steak to fit the skillet is
light housekeeping proposition we're
often mp against. What we call Del
monico steaks are best for this and
they're favorites with all the women
who play the light Housekeeping
game. We take the bone out and
skewer the steak up so it'll just 1t
their pan, and they go off smiling.
One girl brings in a plate just he
size OF her skillet, so We make the
steak fit the plate. We get SO used
to selling 'jus. two chops that we
take a small purchase like that quite
as a matter of course.
Il remember the day before
Thanksgiving a pretty little thing
came in with her tape measure. She
said she wanted to buy small
turkey The turkey must be just the
size to fit into a pan which just went
into her oven, and she'd brought
along the tape measure to make sure.
l told her I'd never seen such a small
edition Of our national bird and that
she'd better compromise on chicken
She was a good deal disappointed,
bat we found a fine chicken that went
into her pan, with a couple Of inches
