The Forks and Overton Sunday
School Association met in Conven-
tion at Overton on Wednesday,
July 20. Two sessions were held
and under the direction of District
President 0. S. Bender, no time
was allowed to go to waste. Each
subject on the program with the
exception of one was promptly re-
sponded to in manner that showed
the speakers interest in the work
and brought inspiration to those
permitted to hear them. The i'm
portance of bringing the children
into the church was especially ex-
planned. The tendency to Sabbath
desecration by base ball games etc.
brought forth a spirited discussion
by Rev. Hess and others and led to
the appointment of a committee
denouncing the same. The speak
ers on the program were Reverends
Dodd, Hess, Sanford and LaRose.
and Grace Packard, Willard Ben
der and f. r. Warhurton.

The Success of the National
Banking system.

g.
1t was fortunate for this nation
that during its great trial it had
Salmon 2. Chase at the head of the
Treasury Department to devise the
financial means for carrying on the
war To Mr.. Chase probably be-
longs the most credit for the estab-
lishment of the national banking
system. He was man of remark
able ability and intense patriotism.
He had sound judgment and judic-
ial temperament which enabled him
to listen to arguments of financiers,
weigh their strength, and decide
what measures were wisest to adopt.
Great tinanciers, like great gen
erals, are born, and not made by
education. 1t is a notable fact
that the greatest financier of the
Revolutionary period was not Rob-
ert Morris, who had life training,
but Alexander Hamilton, an army
officer, who had been Geneaal
Washington's secretary and was
but % years of age; and that the
wisest financier of the Civil War
was not James Gallatin, banker
from his youth, but Salmon P.
Chase, lawyer from Ohio.
In recommending the enactment
of the National Banking Law he
said: "It would be difficult to
conceive of a note circulation which
will combine higher local and gen
eral credit than this" Had he
been a prophet in Israel he could
not have predicted anything more
true than the following; After a
few years no other bank circulation
would be used, nor would the is
sues of the national circulation be
easily increased beyond the legiti-
mate demand of business. Every
dollar of circulation would repre-
sent real capital actually invested
in national stocks; and the total
amount issued could be at all times
easily and quickly ascertained from
the books of the treasury
Experience soon justified the
wisdom of the National banking
system. Only little more than a
year after the amended law was
passed, LIB National banks had
been established with an aggregate
capital of nearly 1896, 600, 900, and
with more than S276, ,OO0,O 900 of
United States bonds deposited with
the treasurer to secure their notes
circulating in the hands of the peo-
pie everywhere, and at all times
against any loss from broken banks.
A few National banks have
failed, but no person ever lost Il
dollar by reason of having some of
their notes on hand at the time of
their failure. The purchase of so
many government bonds by the
banks not only assisted the govern
ment to the extent of their pur-
chase, but strengthened the mar
ket, made the bonds popular and
induced capitalists and people who
had little earnings to invest, to
place it in government bonds. The
banks having invested so much
money in the government debt,
became deeply interested in sus-
tanning the government credit and
at once became the agencies for the
sale OF the government securities.
During the fiscal year of 1865,
bonds to the amount of S335, 266,
617, We're sold over the counters of
the National banks.

ing will be completed by the first
of September. Roy Langford, of the

at Addingtons BeDd last night. The
campaign has at least reached the
acute stage in some of the contests,
and as a consequence the newspa-
pers are running full time getting
out explanations, denials and state
ments.
The First National Bank building,
being erected on the corner of Main
and Fourth streets, is assuming
splendid appearance now and will
be one of the handsomest bank
buildings in the county.
AS a result of the Clint Graham

the fault of his manager, Mr. Perry.
Assurances from all sections of the
state lead his friends to believe,
however, that Mr. Graham will not
only receive the nomination, but will
possibly lead the state ticket. This
is very gratifying to his friends
here, and they feel that the honor

Cruce at Forum.

Porum, Okla, July 19.-Lee Cruce
failed to arrive Monday as billed.
owing to not being able to complete
the list of speaking appointments by
overland drives. Arrangements were
made to give him a royal reception,
had he arrived Sunday evening. He
arrived this morning at o'clock,
having driven through from Web
ber's Falls. He spoke to small au-
dence on the street and made a
good impression. He discussed the
prohibition question, the grandfather
clause and other measures. He said
that he had never taken a drink of
liquor in his life, that while perhaps
80 per cent of the voting population
OF Muskogee county, were clamoring
for the repeal of the prohibition
law, yet the law was a necessity.
He said that as long as men con-
tiuued stealing, Just so long the
laws prohibiting murder and lar
ceny were needful and no one was
asking for the repeal of these laws.
However great were the violations
against them the same conditions
applied to the prohibition law.
Mr.. Cruce made a forcible speech,
refraintng from mentioning his OPP
ponents, but referring strictly to
things prominent in the campaign.
He left on the 10 o'clock train for
Stigler, where he spoke today and
will return to Muskogee this even
ing.
