The electric light company's plant was telephoned to shut off the power and the aerial truck of the fire department was sent for to remove the young man from his perilous position. Chief Blakely and others soon got him to the ground and he was car ried to his boarding house where medical attention was given him. But for the strap around his waist and attached to the pole varnon would have fallen from the pole when the current struck him. This Is the second time var non has come in contact with a live wire and escaped serious injury.

Important suggestions for action by the
coming Legislature will be made in the
forthcoming report of the Shellfsh Com
mission, looking to changes in the oyster
law, which will include provision for
forcibly collecting rent from beds leased;
a reduction of the rentals to one dollar an
acre; extension of the area that may be
taken up by any one man, etc.
The development of the oyster industry
in the State has an important bearing on
the building of improved State roads, in
that it is expected in years to come the
volume of business will greatly outstrip
the records of the days when the industry
was at its best and furnish a source of in
come that can be directed to good road

After months of quiet work behind the
scenes by Government investigators, who
have been scrutinizing the ms and outs
of the complicated sugar import frauds,
came Friday the indictment and arrest Of
an important former officer of the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining Co., charged with
conspiracy to defraud the Government by
false weighing ofsugar.
The man arrested is James F. Ben
dernagel for more than 80 years superin.
tendent of the Havemeyer & Elder Re-
finery in Williamsburg. the largest plant
ofthe American Sugar Refining Co.
At one point the indictment relates the
old charges made against four members
of the so.called "big six" alleging the
use of fraudulent devices on the scales
used at the docks to short-weight sugar
to avoid custom charges. 1t was in con.
nection with these charges that the Gov
eminent last spring recovered $2,I35, ooo

Navy cannot enter, and which have been
useless since the discontinuance of shallow
draft wooden war vessels.

PRESIDENT Taft has untangled many
complex and intricate situations. bur none
more difficult or embarrassing than the
Ballinger .Pinchot controversy in respect
to the conservation of natural rerources.
If the President could follow his own in
clinations, both Pinchot and Ballinger
would bury the Ratchet and hush up the
whole matter. The President is anxious
to end the controversy, and in order to
avoid further strife has succeeded in inn
posing silence on both of them for the
time being.
Secretary Ballinger's friends insist that
Mr.. Pinchoti is the one whose scalp should
be taken, but it is realized in administra-
ton circles that the elimination of Clifford
Pinchot would not close the controversy.
Mr.. Pinchot is man of millions, whose
whole existence is wrapped up in his for
estry work. His father established the
Forestry School at Yale. The son. as
President Taft we'll knows, has spent
time and money in the conduct of the
campaign of conservation ideals, far in
excess of the salary and eight hours day
required by the Government. Pinchot's
position in the matter has been that the
Roosevelt conservation policies-which
were really the Pinchot policies-have
been threatened by the administration of
Secretary Ballinger
Mr.. Pinchot's standing would give
any campaign led by him weight enough
to make it dangerous factor to the Ad.
ministration. The President is more
worried over this phase of the situation
than any other.
Secretary Ballinger if scalped, would
hardly prove any such dangerous factor.
1t might ALLEVIATE the State of Washington
from the administration. But President
Taft also believes in Ballinger, has given
him clean Endorsement, and does not
want to lose his services. Yet many are
demanding the head of Ballinger, and it
is quite as likely that it will be his scalp
that will be taken as the scalp of Pinchot
that he seeks.

Oklahoma's Guaranty Bank Law
A Comparison.

The guaranty bank law which has
been denounced as such dangerous
measure and rallied against by bankers
generally throughout the country, has
been in operation in that progressive new
State of Oklahoma for two years, and its
working as compared to the laws gov
erning banking institutions in other
States is shown by the following extract
from an Oklahoma paper:
Reader, examine the story, then take
your choice. at Mineral Point, Wiscon-
sin, last week the First National Bank
failed. The cashier shot himself. The
calamity caused his mother-in.law to drop
dead, and the newspapers say the depos-
itors may get twenty cents on the dollar
some time.
"An acquaintance from Indiana has
just told us the story of the failure of the
Bank in his home town of Goodland,
Indiana, in the fall of nineteen hundred
and six, where the president of the bank
was the superintendent of the village
Sunday school; everybody trusted him,
he was trusted by everybody and there
being no guarantee law in Indiana, he
busted everybody.
Readers, the two instances above
mentioned are not exceptions to the rule.
They are the rule of busted banks with
out exception anywhere outside of the
State of Oklahoma. Oklahoma's Proud
Interpretations has banking law
that prevents riots, prevents misery, pre-
vents business depression, prevents dis
aster, Nprevents individual loss, when a
bank breaks, and Oklahoma's law has
been so carefully administered for nearly
two years that there has been only one
bank failure each year out of total of
over six hundred and fifty state banks.
That is Oklahoma's proud record! The
first failure was a small bank aud every
depositor was paid within forty-eight
hours. The last failure was the largest
bank in the state. 1t was not closed a
single hour on account of its failure and
every depositor who has come for his
money has gotten it, SO that now CON-
plete payment is practically closed.
"In a new state like Oklahoma, where
the people of the east and north would be
very ready to shout about busted booms
in western towns and talk about the bot
tom dropping out of everything, we ask
our readers to reflect moment and they
will shudder at the discredit and disaster
this state would have suffered with such
large bank breaking if we had no bet.
ter law than that of the United States
Government or the other states of the
Union. The Columbia Bank & Trust
Co.. failure. managed under the Okla
homa law, caused no public disturbance
whatever, no runs on other banks, no
observation-disclosures, no business embar-
rassment, and yet there are some who

enough to cause ninety-nine per cent of
the people to reflect on The blessed con-

The Road Drag.

Near where / now live, says con-
tributor from Maryland to the Progressive
Farmer, there was stretch of sandy
road, on the hillside mere gully, and on
the level interspersed with ponds of water
after rain. Last year that stretch came
into the hands of an overseer with brains.
He cut out the gully wide enough to
make road with cutters on each side
and covered it with clay. On the level
stretch he raised the roadbed to uniform
grade and covered it with clay, narrowed
and rolled it into shape, and as soon as
the wheels began to make ruts he put the
log drag on it and dragged it smooth.
Now one can drive with pleasure over
that road as smooth as turnpike, and it
cost less than 5000 mile.
The State of Maryland is making a
system of stone macadamized roads
through all the counties at cost of about
$1,000 a mile. But the great difficulty
with these will be that on the Eastern
Shore they pass through reckless region,
and even stone road will wear out, and
the maintenance is what seems to be left
in the backgrounds, for the counties will
never freight rock for repairs 200 miles,
and we will 60 back to repairing with
shells, as many of our roads are shelled
now. The she'll road is fine one while
it lasts, but it wears out rapidly. In
most sections the best available road is a
well-drained dirt road, sanded where too
clayey and clayed where too sandy, and
then kept smooth with the log drag.
