V-Mineral Wealth.

many varieties of opals. and they sell at
figures varying from a few cents each
to thousand pesos apiece The Next

the defects of imperfect stones by giving
them bath of oil. and the traveller who
buys his supply of opals form an ire

cheated.

cents, or a splendid mantel ornament
costing hundreds of dollars. The interior
of the new 5000, 900 post office building
in Mexico City is finished in onyx from
The Pueblo mines. The architect of this
structure was an Italian, but the work
was executed by Mexican workmen, and
their efforts in interior decoration are
regarded by competent judges as among
the finest examples of such work in the
world.

NOT TO HOLD DOG SHOW
Inability to Secure Suitable
Building Given as Reason.
Discussion Follows Meeting.

That the washington Kennel Club

cause of the inability to secure suit

cided at a special meeting Friday
evening. after the receipt Of a report
from the show committee, consisting
of Emory N. Wilson, John Slaven and
Edward A Conroy.
Some owners and agents. the COM
mittee reported. had asked impossible
rentals for places that were found
suitable for the exhibition, while
others. fearing they might lost the
chance of a sale or long lease, de-
clined to grant the club assurance OF
the rental Of the property sixty days
the proper organization Of the show
The club has therefore decided to give
up the idea of a show until more salts
factory arrangements can be made.
That the club is in a fiourishing con-
dition was evidenced by the fact that
Charles II. L. Johnston, the treasurer
announced that he had on deposit near
ly $1,000 to the clubs credit. This sum
| will form the nucleus of fund for
| financing the next show.
Secretary Watson reported that eight
new members had been admitted atd that
! the names of other applicants were be-
! fore the committee on membership for
consideration.
Discuss Canine Topics.
After the business for which the spe-
cial meeting had been called was out OF

Certain newspapers in and out OF
the state, and generally republican
newspapers, are making much ado
over the fact that quite number OF
state banks in Oklahoma have applied
for national charter
This fact is made much of by op-
ponents of the guaranty law, those
who are pleased at the prospect of
bringing into disrepute the law that
represents safety to the bank deposi-
tor
1t is quite natural that some bank
ers should desire to escape. the re-
sponsibility the law imposes. More
to the point, however, is the fact that
some of the smaller concerns are de-
sirous of escaping the coming assess
ment The small bank carrying. say
100000 deposits and operating on a
capital u $4,000. does not look for
ward with pleasure to an assessment
OF $4,000.
The situation is not one for which
the law is responsible, but is the re-
suit of maladministration of the law
and the rascality that brought about
the failure of the Columbia Bank &
Trust company. Not the least inter-
esting fact in connection with that
affair is the assertion that the state
banking authorities were advised of
the irresponsible methods of the bank
er whose name is most closely associ-
ated with that failure.
However, negligence upon the part
of those administering a law does not
prove that the law is not good. There
is law penalizing the murderer. Few
persons there are who do not know
and wherein the law has not been ef-
fectiye because of maladministration
yet who will arise and assert that the
law should be eliminated from the
statute books?
1t would be just as reasonable to
say that, because governor saw fit
to pardon all the convicts in the peni-
tentiary, that the criminal laws should
be repealed
The principle represented by the
bank deposit guaranty plan has not
been successfully assailed. and there
are bankers who frankly concede that,
properly administered, it will prove
a great benefit without working hard
ship to the banker operating under
such law.--Oklahoman.
