That the guaranty law was nearly
strangled at its birth is fact we'll
known to those best acquainted with
its history, and for several years
some who had favored the law as
we'll as many others who opposed
it, were of the opinion that it would
not long survive. There was also a
doubt in the minds of those charged
with its administration as to wheth-

safety. But ultimate success has been

report here submitted is under all
the circumstances most creditable
one and should be gratifying, not

citizen of the state as well.

PC. DINGS, Treasurer.
The fiscal year ending June 50,
1918, has been very successful one
for the Guaranty Fund Of Oklaho-
ma as will be seen from the report
herewith submitted.
On June 30th, 1917, or one year
ago, outstanding Guaranty Fund
warrants announced to S647 ,273.42.
Today outstanding Guaranty Fund
warrants amount to Sl43.S26.95. This
reduction should be very gratifying
to every state banker.
During the period referred TO
there were only two banks taken
charge OF by the Commissioner, the
First tate Bank OF Dewar, and the
Citizens State of Tulsa, neither OF
which caused the Fund loss.
On June 30, 1914. the Guaranty
Fund debt had reached SSi5, ,I3l .9S.
The statement rendered the state
bankers on that date was no less
than appalling to some; not only
was the debt at that time enormous,

Conviction of immortality.

Atlantic: That multitudes OF sol
diers have met their end, not only
with serenity, but with a high
hearted gayiety, is a fact of over
whelming evidence. This hilarity
OF heroism is the highest proof d
man can give of his certainty that
soul is more enduring than body;
and exhibited so often at the very
instant of passing, may be, to the
open minded. argument for some
strange reinsurance from that 9th
er side. Surely conviction of inn
mortality from those who have seen
the hideousness of carnage in a
degree in which no other men IN
all history have seen it, is a con-
yiction deserving our respectful
study.

JOHNNY KNEW.
Young Urbanite Upon First Visit

Which Puzzles Him

Philadelphia Telegraph: Last
summer little Johnny paid his first
visit to a farm. All his life he had
lived in the heart of great city,
and when he suddenly came in sight
of a haystack he stopped and gazed
earnestly at what appealed to him
as new brand OF architecture.
Say, Mr.. Smith" he remarked to
the farmer pointing to the haystack.
why don't they have doors and
windows in it?"
Doors and windows smile the
farmer. That amt house, Johnny

Don't try to Josh me, Mr.. Smith"

city boy. Don't you suppose that |

THE NEW KAISERISM.

Although outwardly oppositcs,
there was really nothing illogical
in the working alliance between
the Russian Bolsheviki and Ger
man autocracy Bolshcyism is
only another brand Of kaiscrism
under the mask of democracy.
Kaiscrl$m was buiIt on the
principle that might makes right ;
it had no regard whatever for the
rights of the individual and it
justified ruthlessness as a means
TO an end the domination of a
state which represented the will
of the supreme war lord
Bolshevism is based upon pre-
cisely the same theories: it as
sumes the right to do what it has
the power to do, absolutely
needless Of the rights of those
opposing it. In comparison with
its ruthIessness, Hun frightful-
ness is downright humanitarian-
ism; Bolshevism makes murder u
lawful means Of carrying out its
program.
Bolsheyism is as far removed
from democracy as slavery is
from liberty; il has nothing in
common with the principles Of
freedom which are embodied in
American government and insti-
tutionS. In its essence it is or
ganized anarchy running riot over
rights of mankind that have been
won by age-long struggles.
Bolshevism is just as great "a
menace to the world as kaiserism
ever was and more so because of
the disguise it wears II is the
wolf in Sleeps clothing it
plausibly presents its plea to the
ill-informcd, representing itself
as a hberator while the inevitable
effect of it is to turn the world

A variety of ingenious methods
Of inllicting severe punishment
ON William Hohenzollern have
been suggested and there is merit
in all of them. There is no pen
atty which is too heavy for the
man who disturbed the peace Of
the world, bringing on war with
all its terrible cost. One of our
contemporaries suggests that the
most effective method of punish
ing him is to let him live ON,
spending the rest Of his days ON
earth in mournful contemplation
of his crimes and the monumental
disaster that he made out of the
task which he marked out for
himself when he started to con
