DICKENS MADE a ceLoNIsT
For Forty-five Years His Son Tolled
In the Australian
Bush. ~

Forty-five years ago keen, pleas
ant faced man ina green velvet waist
coat might have been seen on the
platform at Waterloo Station, London.
At his side was young fellow Of TO-,
his face flushed w,|h emotion.
"Good-by, my boy, and God bless
you.7 spoke the elder man. DO your
duty and keep up your pluck"
The young man thought Of all the
good times he had had with his father
-of all the wonderful talks, and
games, and journeys they had enjoyed
together-he and the best the kindest
father in all the world--the tears
sprang to his eyes The two gripped
hands again and the train steamed
away. And that night England-and
London-and Rochester and Gad's
Hill-were shut out for forty-fve
years while the young man worked
aud dreamed and hoped In the Aus
tralian bush. The elder man was
Charles Dickens-the younger was his
son, Alfred Tennyson Dickens, god-son
Of the poet laureate.
Forty-flye years passed. And then
one morning Alfred Tennyson Dick
ems, no longer young, but with white
hair, arrived In his native London.

COL. CARMICHAEL AND OTHER

Gov. Cruce has shown that he has firsi

On the whole the personnel Of the
governors staff pleases us immensely
although candor ccnpels us to con
fess that we think he made one mis-
take. Our honored fellow citizen, J.

only as a lieutenant colonel. Consid-
ering his brilliant military career, his
sol1ierly bearing and his extraordi-
naay dignity, we see no reason why
Carmichael should not have been
made b fun grown colonel Or even a
bragadler general. Certainly he is fit
ted to grace either Of these high posi-
tons.

led this question from every conceiy-
able standpoint; / have studied it
from the position of a national banker
and have Sought out arguments that
could be used against our law, and

that the principle Of guaranteeing de-

ceptible Of practical demonstration, as
the principle Of insuring property
against loss by fire, or the human
family against loss by the ravages OF
disease and death.
THE supreme court of the United
States has decided that our law is
constitutional. and is founded upon
just and equitable principles. This
law is fixture in Oklahoma, and the
sooner the enemies of the same, and
especially the national bankers of the
state, realize this fact and accoruodate
themselves to it, the better it will be
for all banking institutions in the
state. 1t is immaterial with me what
is said Of our banking law outside of

depreciation Of our law or a truthful
statement of its operation to come
from its enemies beyond the borders

ton who have grown rich from depos-

fort made to protect the interest of the
depositors, when that effort entails
any sort Of expense or burden upon
the bankers themselves. These bank
ers realize the inevitable. They know
fullwell that if the Oklahoma banking
law cannot be speedily overthrown,

of their sophistry and arguments viii
count for naught, and in the end, the
millions OF depositors of this repub.
lie, whose money is now being used
by bankers to build up large surplus

pay big dividends, win demand of the
various states of the union, laws sim

There has been some reckless
banking in Oklahoma, just as there has
been in every other state in the union,
but it will be the effort Of the present
banking board to place the dishonest
banker where he properly belongs, r.
in the state penitentiary. Unburdened
Of dishonest bankers, stripped Of its
incompetent ones, the Oklahoma bank
