GUARANTEE OF BANK DEPOS-
EDITOR PILOT:

EDITOR Pilot:
| The following is taken from Satul-
days Record Herald of this city
There was but $500, 900 in the bank
guaranty fund in Oklahoma, when
the Columbia bank failed at Oklaho-
ma City with S3OOO,OOO of deposits,
and the state can pay but ten per
cent. without making an assessment
upon all the other banks in the state.
How would the people here like such
condition, as the business interests
must pay this shortage, and the con-
sumner pays it eventually. Oklahoma
too had the most radical law of this
kind. and its failure now will show
the absolute fallacy and weakness of
this plan to protect wild cat specula-
tors by making honest bankers pay
for their delinquencieS.- RecOrd-Her
AID
! The above barefaced misrepresenta-
lions would not be worth an answer
except to show the sample of the lies
the Record-Herald is continuously
disning up to its readers, through a
combination of partisanship, egOtism
and ignorance.
| The Record Herald knows that
while the guarantee fund is only $780,
600, there are items of cash en- hand
and in all probability large amount
of first class negotiable paper in the
J bank in question. Also that the
stockholders are held for double the
amount of their stock and that the
press reports say the bank will prob
ably resume business.
According to the Record Herald 5
way of figuring, none of our Wausau
banks could pay over Is or 20 per cent
of their liabilities, as it would only
| figure the actual cash on hand, as their
assets.
Sensible citizens all over the country
are watching the test which the
guarantee of bank deposits is going
through, with great interest. If it
stands this admittedly severe test,
swarms of honest opponents will go
over to its support and if it fails,
swarms of honest friends will admit
it's failure.
The course of the Record Herald is
similar TO the course pursued by the
partisan republican press during the
panic Of 1893, when every bank failure
was heralded to the country, in large
black type, as result of democratic
''free trade" and further calamitieS
predicted.
How different the course of the
democratic press led by w. J. Bryan
during the last panic. Withmany bank
failures and wholesale failures only
prevented by the illegal issue of scrip,
the democratic press, mindful of the
welfare of the country, urged conf
dence in our banks and did all they
lcould to stop the panic. Just at the
worst, VIM. j. Bryan visited every
part of the country and the great
weight of his influence and eloquence
was given to prevent further spread
Iof the panic. His confidence in the
honesty of our banks as whole, did
much to restore confidence.
Less than two years have passed
since the time of which we speak and
the Record Herald has hardly missed
a day without slur for Mr.. Bryan.
If it has no sense of fairness, some OF
the real owners of the paper should
gag it. al least for few months be-
tween elections. FAIR PLAY.

Oklahoma Bank Law.

1t is said that the state banking
board is favorably impressed with the
Oklahoma guarantee law. State
Senator w. G. Owen chairman of the
Wisconsin legislative committee, who
is now in Oklahoma examining the
working of the law says:
'"The Oklahoma banking law is a
complete success. The Oklahoma
plan did not occasion distress nor dis
turb other business.
THAT no business check resulted
from the Columbia difficulties and
that depositors did not make fran
tic run on the bank must have been
due to the confidence felt in the
guarantee. In cities of similar size
in Wisconsin suspension of such
magnitude would have caused a Sc
yer jolt to other business and the
ruin of many enterprises"
The only harm he suggested as COM
ing from the Oklahoma law was
that the confidence of the people in
the guarantee might make them care
less in the selection of banks for their
deposits.

FIFTY years from this date Peary
will not be known as having figured
in the north pole event, more than
that he attempted to reach the pole
many times and failed. Cooks name
will go down forever as the man who
discovered the north pole. Like the
name of Columbus, Cooks will go
down in history. Peary has some
thirty points against Cook and they
are all the winnings of a disappointed
man. Peary is not broad enough TO
be great man. His refusal to allow
another white man to go to the pole
with him for fear of having to divide
the honors; his refusal to take Cooks
instruments, ETC., on board his ship;
his taking Cooks provisions and the
many other reprehensible acts, stamps
him as a man with a yellow streak.

The congressional committee, head
ed by Senator LaFollette, will meet
the Winnebago Indians at Black
River Falls and hold a session from
Wednesday until Friday. The ques-
tion to be considered is whether the
trust fund now being held by the
government for this tribe of Indians
amounting to 5000, 900 shall be paid
and all government relation with the
Wisconsin Winnebagos closed up, or
whether, as in the past, the interest
shall be paid, amounting to $50 per
head. AT the last congress it was re-
solved to pay the whole amount, and
the commissioner of Indian affairs,
therefore, had decided not to pay the
annual annuity usually paid in Novem-
Der. The Indians are in poor shape
owing to the failure of crops on the
reservation.

HAVING tried to be fair to Peary on
the point in question, let us add that
the "proofs" he thus far publishes
against Cook do not seem to amount
to shucks as such. If Commander
Peary has nothing stronger than this
to offer, the best thing he can do for
himself is to admit his mistake of
temper like man and apologize for it
like a gentleman. He said he had
Cook nailed" But up to now it
looks like trying to drive railroad

A BANK in Oklahoma closes its
doors on Tuesday. On Wednesday
the state bank commissioner paws off
in full 400 depositors of the institution
out of the guarantee fund and the
money remaining in the bank. This
seems to be quick work. Above all
the depositors of banks should be
secure. The system adopted by the
state of Oklahoma may not be the
best conceivable for that purpose, but
so far it has been successful.

Col. WILLIAM HALLS MORRISON,

Col. WILLIAM HALLS MORRISON,
former member OF congress from
Illinois and interstate commerce com
missioner and at one time the leading
Democratic authority on the tariff,
died last Wednesday night. He was
GA years of age. He served in con-
gress from 1861 to 1865. Again in
1873 to 1875 and 1883 to 1887 was chair
man of the committee on ways and
means. All this time he was the
leading congressional figure on tariff
legislation. His Influence brought
about the tariff revision of 1884, but
he was not satisfied with it. He was
known as "Horizontal Bill' because
his scheme was to reduce the tariff
by fiat figure all along the line.
