statement accredited to President Taft
concerning the Oklahoma constitution
Senator Robert L. Owen, senior sen
ator from Oklahoma, was in the city

hotel. Mr. Owen was seriously i'll dur
ing the summer and made trip to
Europe hoping to regain his health
Through sea voyage, and an entire
change of climate and amid new scene
ny and new faces. He does not look
too vigorous now, and bore an air OF
weariness while being interviewed by
La Democrat reporter. On being asked
for an Interview the senator respond
ed gladly and in reply to the first
question asked him wrote his answers
himself He had just come in from
his farm in Washington county and
left this morning on the II o'clock
train for Sapulpa.
Yes, was seriously unwell in June
and went to Mannheim. Germany, for
treatment. | was somewhat improved
by the stay, but was not well enough
to enjoy the visit.
What do you thing of Taft's attack
on Oklahoma as geological garden
of cranks?"
We'll, ] do not believe that Mr..
Taft is accurately quoted, and | know
him too we'll to believe he would Will
ingIy affront the people of our state
He is man Of the kindest heart and
most genial cordial manner, and | am
not willing to believe he said anything
or intended anything offensice to
our people. He is my personal friend
and | am his, and | want him to re-
main a friend of our state intend
to ask of him everything think our
people need. and confidently rely on
his justice and good will to grant our
reasonable expectations
IL do not believe it wise or good
natured to fiercely criticise even an
humble citizen, for some hearsay Of
fense, and | do not intend to speak Of
the president Of the United States ex.
cept in the most deferential and con-
siderate manner
Il do not believe it wise or good
excited nor demand satisfaction for
fancied or actual criticism. We have
the best state and best people in the
world. / am proud Of the good man.

On being asked his opinion of ar
ticle 8, section 9. in the constitution Of
Oklahoma Senator owen remarked
that he had not been long enough in
the state to learn that it was matter

sition to express any views on the
subject

About the bank guarantee law he
said that ne would like more time
than he has to spare just now to write
his opinion on the subject His ans
wer, were he to write It. would be a
lengthy one. The law in question was
written by himself. OF. at least, he
played a prominent part in its writing.
He thought it should be amended or
modified in some ways, and he did not
think it was intended to absolutely
guarantee all deposits. People who
deposited for speculative purposes
snould take some risk themselves. Il
is all righ. 10 protect small depositors.
Senator owen fnstanced the Bank Of
Commerce Of Kansas City as proof
that national banking should not be
considered all wrong either. He said
the Bank of Commerce went wrong
for eighteen million and yet at no
time was it otherwise than perfectly
sound
The senator was ready TO answer
niany more Questions and the report
er was willing to ask them. but 50
many people were waiting for Ike
favors that the reporter was compell-
ed to yield. but did so with sorrov.
for Mr.. Owen is a much pleasanter
subject to interview than newspaper
men often meet

Taft Goes Too Far.

Sioux Falls Press: President Taft
has delivered an eulogy upon Senator
Aldrich. Indeed, the chief executive
has gone SO far as to say that Aldrich
is the 'leader of the senate" and that
he sis one of the ablest statesmen in
financial matters in either house."
That is saying a great deal. The
senate is supposed to be made up of
peers. So far as the constitution is
concerned, no one senator has any
right to pose as a leader than any of
the others. Practically speaking, the
disposition of the business of the SEN
ate necessitates some kind of an or
ganization, and an organization al
ways calls for head. That head, we
are told on the authority of President
Taft, is Senator Aldrich. This is not
surprising news, for every one has
known that he is titular leader of the
senate. But the public has been in
sisting with more or less unanimity
that Aldrich didn't deserve any such
place and that he has misused power,
so far as common interests are con-
cerned. With that public view it is
manifest President Taft does not
aSree. 1t is known that Taft is a
diplomat, but there are limits beyond
which public servant should not go,
even in diplomacy.

says:
Following the opening of
the two tracts will come more
people, more farmers, new
towns, new banks and more
new wealth. The Dakotas are
only beginning to realize in a
small measure the extent Of
their wonderful resources. The
past ten years have marked a
period Of great advancement
from the breaking of the wild
land, through the experimental
stages of crop possibilities and
climate to the present year Of
an unprecedented crop, which,
with the excellent prices it will
command, places the Dakotas
we'll forward among the agri-
cultural states of the country.
eff there is any truth in the
adage, Judge the Future by
the Past it must be with the
greatest optimism that the
bankers Of the Dakotas look
forward to about 1919. South
Dakota today takes the lead
among all the states IN the per-
centage of actual new wealth
produced during the past ten
years. From 1899 to the pres
emit year, the bank deposits
have grown from SO, 100000 to
$73,500,00O. The new wealth
produced In the state the past
year in crops, livestock and
minerals amounted to $685.
100000, an average of 1865
per capita. North Dakota is a
close second. During the last
year the bank deposits show an
increase Of $50, 100000. When
it lis considered that those
states are purely agricultural

creased. bank deposits represent
new wealth taken from the soil
and produced at the minimum
cost, we may well pause to won
der what the next ten years will
bring about. With their thou

intensive farming an unknown
factor as yet, the annual in
flux Of new farmers following
record crops, the opening OF
other public lands and the pre-.
vailing high prices that farm
products are commanding, it is
safe to predict that another

double in population, their farm
land values increase materially
and their bank deposits show
an increase Of fully four-fold.
