The report of the bank com
missioner of Oklahoma is that
ninety national banks have been
converted into state banks since
the enactment of the bank guar
anty law by that state. The num-
Der of banks have increased in
much greater proportion than
the amount ofthe deposits. There
is no overwhelming sentiment
in favor of the plan in the new
state-despite the operation of
the plan.
The opposition to the law is
summed up tersely by one bank
er as follows:
First. 1t has increased the
number of banks beyond the pro-
portion of the increase in depos-
it's.
Second. It has enabled incom-
petent and unscrupulous men to
get into the banking business and
in many cases such men are hand
ling large sums of money.
Third. 1t demoralizes bus
mess for the reason that tn e
banker who pays tn highest
rates Of interest and loans at the
lowest rate on the least security
and is an all-around good fellow,
gets the deposits.
Fourth. It has forced seven
ty-five good national banks out of
business and in most cases re-
placed them with banks of small
er capital.
Fifth. We are in an unsettled
condition, as the failure of a big
bank in the state would knock
the guaranty law into a cooked
hat and make the worst bank
we ever had.-Fargo Forum.

Success has the following com
ment on the attitude of Lincoln
and prohibition.
In view of the widespread in
terest taken by America in pro-
hibition, Mr.. Lincoln's views on
this subject, aslong ago as 1858,
command more than notice. In
a speech delivered by him at
Springfield, Ill, Mr.. Lincoln
said:
The liquor trac fiji is a cancer
in society, eating out it's vitals
and threatening destruction, and
all attempts to regulate it will
not only prove abortive, but will
also aggravate the evil. If the
prohibition of slavery is good for
the black man, the prohibition OF
the liquor traffic is equally as
good and constitutional for the
white man.
There must be TO more at.
tempts to regulate the cancer; it
must be eradicated; for, until
this is done, all classes must con-
tlnue exposed to become the VIC
tins of strong drink.
The most effectual remedy
would be the passage of a law al
together abolishing the liquor
traffic.
Law must protect and conserve
right things, and if there is any
evil in the land that threatens
society Or individuals more than
anothes, it is the liquor traffic.

COMMERCE MEETING OPEN
DENVER ENTaRTAlNs TRANS
MISSISSIPPI CONGRESS.
Many Important Questions Scheduled
for Discussion During the
Session.

Denver, Col, Aug. 16.-After a
lapse of 10 years the Trans-Mississ-
ippi Commercial congress re-convened
in this city, where it held it's second
meeting in 1891. Its sessions will
last all through the week and many
are the vital subjects that will be dis.
cussed. Only politics is barred, and
the program is so elastic that any
delegate may talk about the subject
that interests him most.
Secretary Arthur F. Francis greet
ed the hundreds of delegates. They
include representatives of states, cit
les, chambers OF commerce., boards Of
trade, commercial clubs, manufacture
ing, mining, mercantile and traffic,
live stock, immigration, irrigation,
maritime, drainage and waterways
improvement associations.
President Thomas F. Walsh, of
Denver, called the opening session to
order in the Auditorium. It was CIV
en- up mainly to welcoming speeches
and responses and an outline of what
the congress hoped to talk about and
to accomplish.
Among the important matters up
for careful consideration is the ques.
ton of closer commercial relations
with the Latin republics, with special
reference to the early completion of
he Panama canal. Director Barrett,
Of the International Bureau of Amer
lean Republics, is here with represent
tatives of the Latin-American lega-
lions to take a hand in this discus
sion. Hawaii, too, is represented by
delegates who will ask for vigorous
action on behalf of immigration and
public land laws.
National Defense" has a place on
the program because of the pressing
necessities Of the Pacific coast in the
matter of adequate naval facilities,
and the question of a liberal policy
toward the merchant marine also is
on the list.
OF course conservation of the for
ests and the public domain will at
tract much attention and it is expect
ed the resulting discussions will be
lively. Irrigation, waterways, drain
age, dryfarming. parcels post, postal
savings banks and many other topics
are to be threshed out by the speak
ers before the congress.

come to us that the County Com

less, but have been doing extra
work to get the grade and bridge
in shape. The contractors who
dug the ditch did not have the
contract for the bridge, but thru
the influence ofCom. Frank Gray
they have taken men off another
large job and put them to work
on this job. Mr.. Gray, who has
had charge of this work, has done
as much as, if not more than any
man could do to push this mat
