CAR SERVICE
IN COLUMBIA STOPS

Columbia Feb. 16.-There are no
street cars running in Columbia
Wednesday and there is nothing to
indicate that there will be a re-
of service soon.
F. H. Knox, president of the COM
pany, stated Wednesday morning
he could not state what would be
that the company had no plans and
done. He stated that he was pre-
pairing a statement to be issued
publicly during the day explaining
the company's position, but that no
plans had been made for resuming
the service.
The strike Of carmen was voted
by them at an early hour Wednes-
day morning, following the dis
charge Tuesday afternoon of TWEEN
ty-one employees of the company
No reason is given for the discharge
of the men.
1t is stated that the street Cal
company has been operating at a
financial loss for months, and some
months ago it was intimated by off,
Gals that something would have to
be done to bring relief. In their
statement the car men say that the
discharge Of the men can only be
construed by them as a "desire on
the part Of the company to cease
operation Of it's street cars" There
is no expectation of violence in
connection with the strike.

DEMOCRATS SHOULD TAKE NOTICE.

State Chairman Ben l.. Lafayette has just sent out a call for
each precinct in Oklahoma TO select members OF the precinct COM
mittce at a meeting at two o'clock on the afternoon OF Friday.
January 18th. in the incorporated towns and country precincts.
with the meetings for cities OF the first class and managerial or
commission form OF government to be held at eight o'clock p. m
ON the same date.
h. b. Barefoot, chairman Of the County Democratic Central
committee. has Joined in the call OF the state chairman, for holding
precinct meetings in Grady county at the hour designated. 1t IS
important that all democratic voters attend these meetings and
take a hand in perfeting the party organization.
Under the new constitution adopted by the democratic party
OF Oklahoma. there will be seven members to constitute the pre-
cinct committee. a chairman and vice chairman. a secretary-treas-
urer and four additional members. Either the chairman or vice
chairman shall be a woman, and two OF the four members shall
be women. Within fifteen days after the selection OF the new
members OF the precinct committee, the present county chairman
will call a county convention for the purpose OF selecting a chair
man. vice chairman and secretary-treasurer Of the county organ
izaton. The county chairman and vice chairman will be members
OF In estate Central committee.
This is the first reorganization of the party in Oklahoma in
which the women are given equal voice with the men. Owing to
the fact that this is the year for electing all state officers, a great
deal OF interest is expected to be manifested in this reorganization
throughout the state.

LOCAL BANKS IN GOOD SHAPE.

The official statements of the local banks make a showing
which should be a matter of satisfaction to their patrons. Con-
sidered in the light Of business conditions throughout the coun-
try, the published reports indicate chat our banks generally are
in a better condition than might have been anticipated.
Banks everywhere have been hit by the wave of depression
that has resulted in a reduced volume of business. Under exist
ing circumstances, it was inevitable that the total amount of de-
posts would be reduced, with a corresponding reduction in loans.
The bankers job has been by no means an easy one during the
last year. The fact that our local banks have gone through this
period Of stress, and today are able to make such a gratifying
showing, speaks well for the character of their management and
shows that they are worthy of the confidence that has been placed
in them.
There is no question that the present strong financial posi-
ton Of the country is attributable in a large measure to the fed
eral reserve system. Because OF its responsiveness to the varying
needs of the country, our banking system has safely withstood
every shock, meeting all the demands made upon it. In the old
days the liquidation OF a large institution like the Dearborn bank,
in Chicago, which was taken over by other interests last week,
would have come close to producing a general panic, but, as it
actually was handled, it caused only a ripple.
The admitted soundness and stability of our banking system
and our banks, locally and nationally, are factors Of prime import
ancc in the present business situation, furnishing one Of the basic
conditions necessary for the return of prosperity and thereby
presenting one Of the hopeful features Of the outlook.

PLAIN LANGUAGE ON LYNCH LAW.

James S. Hogg was one of the greatest governors Texas ever
had. Whatever his enemies may have had to say about him, no
body questioned that he was a man of great common-sense. Gov.
Hogg had some very strong convictions on the subject of lynch
law, which he expressed in a speech at Rockdae, Texas, in 1894. In
view Of the present widespread tendency toward mob violence, It is
worth while to ponder the words Of this great Texan. AS quoted
recently by the Dallas News, Mr.. Hogg spoke as follows:
"a band Of men that goes to jail, takes out a prisoner, white
or black, and hangs him, is composed Of blood-thirsty murderers
who possess no respect for constitutional guarantees or the stabil-
ity Of the government or the lives Of human beings. They are
cowardly criminal outlaws. They can not be depended on to en-
force the laws through the courts Of the country. If one Of them
should get on a jury he would be too criminal in heart to exc
cute a criminal according to law. He would prefer to sneak around
with a band of towards and assassns at midnight and take an un-
armed, defenseess person from his home, or a helpless prisoner
from jail, and murder him in cold blood.
"The sooner the people of this state pass laws that will insure
a few neck-breakings Of these cowardy muiderers and assassins,
who claim to act as Judge Lynch, the better it will be for them.
When a man commits a crime revolving to the s~ensib1ihes of good
men, it is a rad reflection upon the jurymen Of their country and
the officers of their government to say that he can not be punished
by due process Of law upon a full, fair trial. A people who will
condone, excuse, justify or applaud mob law have but to wait to
CLEAN expressions harvest and eat the bitter fruits of renorse
and despair"
