Banking Laws.

About six years ago Oklahoma
passed law guaranteeing oank
to her citizens, and
since then Kansas. Texas and
Nebraska have followed Oklaho.
mas example, in none of these
States has bank depositor' lost
a cent on account of bank fail,
ures since the law went into
effect. Furthermore. there has
been few failures of banks in
those States since they passed
this law.-Pascagoula Democrat

Have Protection.

Of course the law guarantee
ing deposits is an innovation and
all innovations are eligible to the
charge of revolution, the ques-
ton i'm our mind is not as to the
equity OF the provision but SIM
ply as to practlcabillty. When
a patron obtains the use of ''bank
money" he secures the loan oy
every provision dictated by cau-
ton and experience, yet under
existing conditions when he de-
posits his own money in the
bank he has no guarantee OF
safety of return except such as
is offered as protection against
felony, and must take all chances
of bad Judgment and manage
ment without opportunity for
knouledge or defense. 1t must
in the interest of helpless depos.
ltors be assumed that their de-
posits~or free loans are as worthy
of guarantee of the monies loan
ed by the bank. At all events
such a law is worth trying and
will have the effect of excluding
weak and doubtful establish
ments from participation. for
self protection will compel eau
tion.-Aberdeen Examiner.

read chapter for the occasion
from the Bible and Rev. F. Z.
Browne. OF the Presbyterian
Church, offered up payer. and
Miss Madge Montgomery, the
late President of the local union.
in a most pleasing manner intro
duced the grand lecturer, Miss
Hollister, who delivered a most
impressive and charming ad-
dress. No one should fail to
hear this excellent lady wherev-
er opportunity presents. She is
LADY of great natural intellect
and ability. highly cultivated
accomplished and most refined,
possessed of all the modesty be-
coming sweet woman. The
thread Of earnestness srd SINGER
,ty ran through every word and
expression uttered by her. Her
cause makes her powerful and
strong and charming.
She is engaged in the organi.
zation of new local unions
throughout the state at this time
and all good people wish her, or
ought to. Godspeed.
