LOANS BY BANKS
TOTAL 100000, 900
Prosperity of Country Reflected in
Amazing Expansion of Bank
ing Accommodations.

The aggregate of bank loans is
now greater than ever before in the
history of the United States. On No
vember 10, the latest date for which
reports are available, the total loans
of the 1900 national banks of the
country stood at $7,234,OOO,0OO.
Between September 2 and Novem-
Der 10 last, or in period of SO days,
the national banks of the country
extended credits by the huge amount
of $477.OO0,000. Of this $206, 000,-
600 was by the banks of New York
city alone.
That left $271,OOO,O0O as the in
crease in loans for the country out
side of the chief financial center. This
fact is significant. There was long
time during which the country bank
loans were actually contracting.
The sole reason for the rapid eX-
pansion of bank loans is the great
nationwide increase in general bust
ness. Prosperity is always reflected
in increasing demand for bank ac-
commodations. The present demand
gives promise of much greater expan-
sion as industry and trade spread
through one line and another, as IS
now taking place.

NASHVILLE, Mo.-To see a man
going about his work these wintry
days without coat or hat and with
his shirt sleeves rolled above his ell
bows is enough to make even the
man in the fur lined overcoat give an
extra SILVER; but people in this vi
cinity have become accustomed to
such sight and think nothing I'M
usual is the matter when Ray Bohan-
non rushes around in the frigid at
mosphere without the above men
toned articles of wearing apparel
which the average man cannot go
without.
1t is Bohannon's boast that he new
er wears a coat or head covering, no
matter how low the temperature,
and he simply cannot bear his sleeves
down.
Thus for eighteen years he has de-
fed the coolest weather. and he de-
clares that his mode of dressing is
the reason why he never has colds
and attacks of grippe such as his
warmly clad business associates are
subject to. Bohannon is a large man
and enjoys excellent health.

BY SPLIT WILSON'S
PLANS JEOPARDIZED
CLARK AND KITCHIN HEAD THE
OPPOSITION TO DEFENSE AND
TAX PROGRAMME.
ANTI-ADMINISTRATION VIEWS

Show Up Strong among HOWefIuI
Group of House Democrats. Presi-
dent Confronted by a Possible
Break With Party Men.
WASHINGTON.-The administra-
ton today was confronted by we'll
led opposition in it's own party in the
house against President Wilson's two
principal legislative issues, prepared
ness and revenue. With Speaker
Champ Clark and Majority Leader
Kitchin avowedly opposed to the ad-
ministration program the president
was confronted by the possibility of
an irreconcilable break with large
group of house democrats.
1t became known today that
Speaker Clark and Representative
Kitchin had acted upon the assurance
that a compact and powerful group
of their followers would stand firm
against the presidents revenue sug-
gestions. The assurance came in the
form of a round robin letter directed
to Representative Kitchin which was
practically an ultimatum by the writ
ers. The letter vigorously demanded
that the income tax and tax on war
munitions. with a possible inherit
ance tax, bear the burden of increas-
ed revenue. 1t was started by the
we'll organized anti-preparedness
and it gained indorsers even among
many who favored increased national
defense. Scores of copies of the let
ter were directed to Representative
Kitchin. The original document,
written by Representative Hensley.
of Missouri. the leader of tho anti
preparedness democrats, SET forth
that the writer had carefully consid-
cred the preparedness and re~enue
proposals.
Il have definitely made up my
mind" Il continued, that if we make
these increases for armament VIII
not vote for a stamp tax which will
affect he poor of the country so tre-
mendously. taking them in the ag-
gregate, when they, the poor, must
be depended upon in such vital way
for tn protection of our liberties in
time of war. But / will vote, and
insist that the ways and means COM
mittee permit me to vote by reporting
such a bill, to increase the income tax
bv a surtax or in any other proper
way. or even to impose an inherit
ance tax. I would also be glad to
place some sort of tax upon the traf-
fie in war materials"
1t was this demand which showed
the strength of the anti-administra-
ton sentiment on revenue, and which
precipitated the fight.

night RIDERS WAR
ON MONEY LENDERS
SECRET SOCIETY OF OKLAHOMA
PLANS VENGEANCE UPON /
LOCAL BANKERS. 4
THE WORKMEN'S CLASS UNION

Boasts of 200 Members. In Form
and Organization Resembles the
Ku KIux Khan of the South in the
Reconstruction Days.
The night riders of SalIisaw coun-
ty, Oklahoma, have concentrated
their nefarious activities in war
upon certain money lenders and es-
pecially upon certain local bankers.
One of the bankers, R. w.
Hines, rents farmrs to many farmers
throughout the county, and the
Workmen's Glass Union, reputed to
be at the bottom of the night riding,
has decreed that no farm owned by
Hines shall be tenanted this year.
Several farmers renting from the
banker have been warned that they
must give UP their lease and move at
once.
Berna, one of his tenants. was Wis
tied recently by the night riders, who
fogged him and gave him until six
o'clock to leave the county with his
wife and two small children. If he
ulu not OD6y tu6 SUMMONS the TIu6TS
told him he would be hanged before
morning.
The Workmen's Glass Union
boasts of 1900 members, although
many believe hundreds more have
taken it's sacred oaths. In form and
organization it greatly resembles the
Ku Klux Khan of the South in recon-
struction days. Members of the diff
ferent lodges meet secretly under
cover of darkness at a designated
spot or house. The rules of the er-
ganization are few, but binding. The
records and minutes of each meeting
must be burned and the ashes scat.
tered upon the wind before the meet
ing adourns. Every night new Off
GERS preside. No record is made of
their names.
Once a man becomes a member he
is bound to the union for life. Should
he attempt to withdraw or should
he divulge any of the secrets of the
order he is to be taken to an isolatd
spot and there logged with a wet
rope, soaked over night in water, is
hope, soaked over night in water, is
the unions instrument Of punish
ment and torture.

certainly not abnormally small. 1t IS
fairly distributed among the larger
denominations, excepting the Luther
ans, who report a loss of nearly H.
600 for the year, much of which may
be explained perhaps by faulty re-
turns. The Catholics added nearly
ISS,000 to their numbers, the Meth
odists upward of 144, 900, the Bap-
lists nearly 1871 900, the Presbyte-
rians over $4,000, of which the
Northern body had nearly $4,000
and the Southern almost $4,000.
The Protestant Episcopal church is
larger than it was by 25,64S.
An interesting fact is that the
gains in the South were quite extra
ordinary. The Southern Baptists had
an increase of 116, 600 and more, and
the Southern Methodists of $4,000;
adding the Southern Presbyterians
the net increase of these three bodies
was more than 204, 900, or well on to
a third of the aggregate gains for
the year. The returns for the Dis
ciples of Christ for 1915 are not yet
ready They would probably add
materially o the increase of the
year.
A remarkable feature of DR.. Car
rolls statistics, which will be pub
lished Immediately in the Federal
Council Year Book, is that there mas
been a aet decrease instead OF the
normal increase of churches. Inc
actual loss is not large, only los, put
in 1914 there was gain of over
1900 The Lutherans quite unac-
countably appear to have lost nearly
a thousand churches during the year,
partly due perhaps to defective sta
tistics. Even in the South, which
had so large an ingathering of mem
bers, there was little increase IN
churches. The Southern Baptist
Convention reports losses about on
setting gains; the Methodist Church,
South, had a net increase of SO and
the Southern Presbyterians of only
s. The Northern MethOdists gained
1873. Several of the Presbyterian
bodies, which enjoyed an unusual in
crease in communicates, show fall
ing off in the number of churches.
The Northern church, for example,
has net loss of 1873.
Doubtless the hard times that
seem to have come upon the CnurChes
in the rural regions, and which have
led to the closing of number OF
churches which we're formerly Hour
ishing, and to the consolidation OF
many others accounts at least IN part
for the decrease.
The grand totals of ministers are
1SO.6O7, an increase of over LOU;
of churches 225,334, a decrease OF
1853; of communicates 80, 3SO,7lS, a
gain of 653, $40.
In their finances the churches gen
orally have not suffered. The total
income for foreign missions was ST.
100000 greater in 1915 than IN
1914; that for home missions shows
a falling off of about $4,000. A
very large amount in the aggregate
was contributed through the church
es for war relief of one kind and an
other.
The increase for the quarter centu-
ry since 1890 is very large. Demon
national groups of 100000 commu-
nicants and upwards, embracing all
but about 100000, have nearly
doubled their numbers. Having 49,
32S,000 in 1890 they now have 81
255, 900, indicating a net gain for the
twenty-five years of nearly $4,000
600, or more than SO per cent.
