One thing that has delighted our
people is the fact. tnat the manage
ment has kept its pledges to the let
ter. OF course La Toilette could not
be induced to leave Congress before
adjournment and DR.. Greene is in q
hospital at Honolulu and no human
power could change these conditions.
The management substituted able
men for these ~umbers and gave us
Lincoln Mcconnell as an extra num-
Der, thus mending the breach as well
as II could be menOe,. The expert
ment Of conducting a Chautauqua
in Abilene has resulted in converting
everyone to the Chautauqua idea and
no great effort will be necessary TO
make it a permanent annual affair
for our people.
Although It may be clearly seen
at a glance that there is an immense
amount of work connected with the
preparation and delivery Of such
weeks program. We have wondered
whether our people have and ade-
quate conception Of the magnitude Of
the Chautauqua business as conduct
ed by the Redpath people. For the
purpose Of setting this matter forth
for our readers we have secured
some facts and figures that viii be
interesting to study.

NENEFEE ANSWERS
MUCH CRITICISM
Has Not One Dollar Of the State Bank
in Board Fund Now in the
Defunct Bank

Guthrie, Okla, Nov. 2-In an open
letter, the state treasurer J. A. Meme
fee answered some of the criticisms
of his connection with the defunct Co
lumbia Bank and Trust company at
Oklahoma City yesterday. He said in
part;
Il did buy from an individual some
stock in the Columbia Bank and Trust
company, for which | gave him three
notes. One of these notes for $4,000,
which is amply secured, is now in the
Columbia and will be paid before it
natures, the note having been sold to
me by the payee. The statement that
the state treasurer had something like
one-half million dollars in the bank
is untrue The state treasurer's bal
ance in the bank was $189.000 secur-
ed by state warrants, municipal bonds
and farm loans amounting to $4,000.
Today the state treasurer has not one
dollar in the Columbia. as Commits
sioner Young took up our securities
and gave us a check for our balance.
AS treasurer of the banking board
had $4,000 in the Columbia secured
by a surety bond of $4,000 and $27.-
900 in municipal bonds. The surety
company paid the bond and the muni-
cipal bonds were sold and have not
one dollar of the funds of the state
banking board on deposit in the Co
lumbia.
In answer to the charge that he owes
the bank $4,000, Mr.. Menefee says
he owes no notes excepting the one
mentioned above; that he owns no
other bank stock; that he was not a
borrower in the campaign and that
when he was elected state treasurer
he did not owe dollar but was con-
nected IN an official capacity with one
of the strongest banksin the state.
When the bank failed Menefee and
members of the banking board inform
ed the press that there was $4,000 Of
the guarantee fund on deposit with
the bank, but Menefee's statement to-
day places it at $4,000 This makes
the total state deposits in the bank at
the time Of. the failure $455,00O, of
which $190,O0O was deposited by the
school land commission and $265OOO
