Oklahoma Trouble Brewing.

Oklahoma's bank troubles have be-
gnn rather earlier than expected.
They were made foregone conclu-
sion when the bank deposit guaranty
law was enacted The Columbia
Bank and Trust company, a mushroom
corcern organized q year ago to ex-
plot the conditions made by the new
law, has failed, and it looks as if
there would be the devil to pay in
banking in Oklahoma. that seedfeld
of revolutionary crank experiments.
To reimburse the depositors of this
badly mismanaged bank, will more
than exhaust the state guaranty fund,
and a per cent on capital stock as
sessment has been levied on the state
banks to meet the crisis.
These banks will protest the pay
ment. and fight is on which looks
like the beginning of the end of
Oklahoma's venture in the Bryan
Haskell political bank qnackery.
Caught in the cogs of this precious
arrangement for robbing Peter to pay
Paul, the protecting bankers natural
ly want to know why they should be
called upon to pay the liabilities of a
wildcat concern in whose management
they had no voice whatever.
The Inherent evils of the deposit
guaranty scheme seem to be rather
strikingly illustrated in this smash at
Oklahoma City.
The law clearly put premium on
loose management and speculative
risks. It invited Shaking and dis
honesty into the banking field. 1t is
admitted that the failed b'nk' s
troubles are due to the lax manage
ment reflected in considerable loans
on securities of doubtful value, and
there are rumors of transactions war
ranting criminal proceedings
We presume the case may be sum-
married. thus: this bank. like dozens
of others there, was started when the
securing of deposits by the highest
bidders was made easy By a law
enabling the advertisement. "all de-
posits guaranteed by the state;'' extra
bats and high interest traps for de-
posits necessitated speculative risks
by the banks, such as those on the
securities of doubtful value;'
management becams a gamble, and
the crash came, of course.
Now state bankers, many OF them
prudent, honest men, are taken by the
throat and required TO reimburse the
suckers caught by this gamble.
No wonder they protest. Let them
go to the courts and invalidate if
possible the entire statutory holdup
of the competent, honest axd prudent
for the sharp. the adventurer and the
gull. Milwaukee Sentinel.

 Interest is growing in the Ketchei- Johnson fight for oct. 16 Much coin has been wagered at even money that Ketchel will last fifteen rounds, but odds on the result remain the same, 10 to {. that Johnson will win.
 Both men are finding great difei- culty in securing sparring partners Johnson demands big fast men and the supply is inadequate. Most of the big heavywetEhts are, so, slow,a that, D the champion drops them after one round. KetchePs difficulty Is in getting men to stand up before his furious slug ging. Stanley forgets he isn't in the ring and deals out such hard walIops that he has his sparring partners groggy every day. Ketchel is in great form. Johnson has lost flesh and Is as supple as big. cat.
