Win the footing Of auto horns and
with badges Of white. blue. red and
purple silk streaming from their
breasts, bankers rode up and down
the streets and avenues Of Chickasha
this morning, inspecting the prettiest
little city in the great southwest
Some OF the bankers wandered about
the city on foot, gathering together
in groups on the streets corners and
entering and inspecting the different
banks Of the entertaining" city.
And badges were everywhere. Not
Democratic badges. not Republican
badges. not Epworth league badges,
not Bull Moose badges, not badges that
smacked OF any political faith or re-
ligious creed or dogma, but badges
which talked OF money; which breath
cd Of money. which throbbed and
scintilated and suggested abundance
OF the root of all evil"
