The guaranty law went into effect
in Oklahoma on October !, 1908. In
the year 1908 only one state bank

In nearly every case the applicants
demand that the bureau take ''hur-

state are. harassed by rumors that
another assessment is i'm immediate

is that the law operates into the

THE UNICORN A RARE BEAST.
Pliny Records That the Tabled Mon
ster Could Not Be Taken Alive.

Pliny. the Roman naturalist, out OF
whose account of the unicorn most OF
the modern uniforms have been de-
scribed and figured, records it as "a
very ferocious beast, similar in the rest
of its body to a horse, with the head
of deer, the feet of an elephant. the
tail of boar, a deep believing voice
and a single black horn, two cubits in
length. standing out i'm the middle of
it's forehead He adds that lit cam
not be taken alive" and some such ex-
cuse may have been necessary in those
days for not producing the living ami
NAL upon the arena Of the aphithea-
ter
The unicorn seems to have been a
sad puzzle to the hunters, who hardly
knew how to- come at so valuable d
piece of game. Some described the
horn as movable at. the will of the
animal. kind OF small sword, in short,
with which no hunter who was not
exceedingly cunning in fence could
have chance. Others maintained that
all the animals strength lay in its
horn. and that when hard pressed in
pursuit. il would throw itself from the

most, so as to pitch upon IL. and then
quietly march off, not whit the worse
for its fall
But it seems they found out how to
circumvent the poor unicorn at last.
They discovered that il was a great
lover of purity and innocence, so they
took the field with young virgin, who
was placed in the unsuspecting adj
mirer's way. When the unicorn spied
her, he approached with all reverence.
crouehed beside her and. laying his
head in her lap. fell asleep. The
treacherous virgin then gave a signal,
and the hunters made in and captured
the simple beast.
Modern biologists. Disguised as they
well may be with such fables as these,
disbelieve generally the existence of the
unicorn. Yet there are animals bearing
on their heads a bony protuberance,

held many a man true To his course
until his habits became so fixed that
he could work out his success calmly
and efficiently. The need of caring
for parents or younger brothers and
sisters has kept many a person from
flying off at a tangent or following
an uncertain course and so spelling
the real intent and purpose of his
life.
Responsibility taken in the right
spirit is not a curse or a burden. 1t
can be made not crutch but "A very
light unto the feet A beacon that
directs one to the shores Of the un-
tried Land of Endeavor, where the
true metal is to have its real tryout
in the furnaces of experience.
So. too, we must view the Danish
ment of ignorance. And ignorance is
always the plea Of the weak. The
strong person tries To know. OF course
there are unfathomed secrets Of ma
ture that keep all of us in ignorance
Of certain principles of life. of GER
tain phases of human character and
of our own personality. but they do
not interfere so much after all with
our quest to be true men and women
as some try to believe.
Ignorance is consideration which
a little careful consideration will dis
pei little study and careful in
trospection will help US overcome
many difficulties in this particular
and viii advance US far on our jour-
nty through life.
That is what makes Ignorance so
pitiful-because it might be easily
overcome if individuals were truer To
themselves and less prone to accept
the plea Of ignorance as the final
argument in all causes. We need To
grow stronger in our adherence to
the desire for the truth and our anNi-
ETY. for the Punishment of ignorance.
Whatever may have been justified in
the ages when ignorance was con-
dition resultant OF civilization il can
not be said now This is the age Of
light and enlightment and the plea
of ignorance can never take away
our responsibility for anything that
goes amiss AS long as our intelli-
gences are alive and working we
must advance to the fuller knowledge
and so dispel ignorance.

Another Bryan Issue Gone.

Another of Mr.. Bryan's para
mount issues has gone to the junk
pile The state banks of Oklahoma
are getting from under the oppressive
provisions of the bank guaranty
law of that state as fast as possible,
and ii looks. as if there will soon be
no state banks in that common
wealth-an of them win have become
national banks. The sound bankers
of oklahoma are tired of putting up
assessments to cover the losses from
failure of speculative banks
II will be remembered that in the
last presidential campaign Mr. Bryan
insisted that he had at last found an
tissue" that dwarfed all others-banlk
deposits must be guaranteed by state
or nation. Experienced banks pointed
out that the inevitable result of the
scheme would be to put premium
ON wildcat banking. and the country
accepted their conclusion and voted
against Mr.. Bryan. But the Ne
braska statesman was just as fully
convinced that he was right as he
had been in the case of free silver,

IGNORANCE NOT APLEA

The place of ignorance will never
take away our responsibilities" said
Ruskin. and most people have found
this to be so. The plea of ignorance
never suffices for a sufficient excuse
in extenuation of any mistake.
In this world il is our business To
know. Either we must find our
knowledge by patient industry or
through the Interpretation Of others.
The former way of arriving at knowl-
edge is the only satisfactory and sue
cessful one yet found. The other at
best is but makeshift.
We are given certain responsible
ties. We are expected to carry them
with as much dignity as possible and
to make them really the helps that
advance us in our life work. And
they can be just that if we will only
try to make them so.

The Taft Policy of Peace

The dispatches from Europe make
il clear that President Taft is loom
ing large" in the eyes of the old
world as one of the greatest states
men of the time. Perhaps because
war is more constantly dreaded in
Europe than here, Mr. Tafts policy
of arbitration for the settlement of all
disputes between nations has attract
ed far more attention in England and
in continental countries than here at
home.
In an academic way the statesmen
of the world have been discussing ar
bitration for many years. But they
have always assumed that arbitra-
Iion must be restricted to certain
questions-that questions of national
honor" overt acts of hostility, and so
on. must necessarily be excluded from
the domain OF arbitration.
But il is Mr. Taft's belief that the
way 10 make arbitration useful in
preserving the peace Of the world is
to arbitrate all questions. Accord
ingly, in the discussions of the pro-
posed treaty with Great Britain it
has been urged by the American gov
eminent that the agreement should
provide for the arbitration of every
dispute that max arise between the
two countries. The British govern
ment was evidently afraid TO assume
responsibility for such a radical de-
parture without first sounding the
country on the proposition: but if it
had any doubt OF British approval
the enthusiasm with which the propo
sftion has been received is sufficient
to remove all doubts. The people OF
The British empire feel that a war
between Great Britain and the United
States would be an unspeakable crime
against civilization. and they agree
with Mr. Taft that the two countries
are each of them so powerful that
they can safely agree 10 arbitrate an
questions-theS do not need to incur
injury TO their national pride. And
now comes France. eager to formu-
late treaty with us on the same
lines. The statesmen of France are
pointing out to their countrymen that
the friendship of America is one Of
Frances priceless assets. and they
are suggesting that France ought to
get ahead of Germany in concluding
an arbitration treaty with the United
States. II is altogether probable that
within a year treaties will have been
formulated and ratified, providing for
the arbitration of all disputes be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain. and the United States and
France And these treaties once con-
Guided. the other great powers Of
the world will be more than glad to
provide by treaty against the possi-
bility of war with the United States.
Until Mr.. Taft took the matter in
hand. universal peace" appeared to
be a chimerical idea. But his arbi-
tration policy will fall little short of
absolutely assuring peace for this
country. at any rate And while Eu-
rope has been quick to recognize his
great stature as a statesman. am
The people of this country have been
slow. the fact is that the president is
every day adding to his prestige with
the American people.

IN HISTORIC GARB

Is elsht-year-old Ford I~Iirshberg, who
m~onopolized all the attention of those
on the pier when the French liner La

been abroad with his mother since June,
was more than conspicuous on La Prov
ence by reason Of his attire. lie wore a
miniature reproduction OF the full uni
form of a sergeant OF the French army,

There was a sympathetic reason for
the boys masquerade. Awaiting his az
rival on the pier was his grandfather.
Joseph Koch OF ono Hundred and
Twenty-ifth street and L.enox avenue,
a retired merchant. In his youth Mr..
Koch served as a sergeant In the
French army through the I'ranco-Prus-
sian war.
When the veteran saw his grandson
at tho rail OF La Provence waving an
American nag and a French flag he was
momentarlly deprived OF speech. Then
he let out a cheer that was heard above
the roar OF welcome from the crowd,
and when the gangplank was let down
