It is recorded in the Book of Acts that a certaln wise “doctor of the law,” Gamallel by name, under similar circumstances advised concerning he apostles, Peter and John: “Refrain from these men, and let them alone; for if this counsel or this work be of men it will_come to naught, but if it be of God ve cannot overthrow It; lest happily ye be found even to fight agalnst God.' It is the desire of every Christian Sclen- tist that an era of such broad charity and love will dawn that will make it impossible that anyone should be allowed to publicly condemn and villify the religlous teachings held to by any body of intelligent citizens.

To correct this weakness United States Senator Robert L. Owen, one of the framers of the bill, proposes that only the Individ- | ual deposits be secured and that all inter- est bearing or investment deposits be p aced in banks at the risk of the depositor. This would greatly reduce the amount of la- bility to the guaranty fund.

T.—After spend- ing the entire afternoon in historic old Columbla, 8. C., with its many reminders of the withering blast of the civil war, President Taft arrived in Augusta at 8:30 o'clock last night to rest untll Monday, when he will resume his journey to Wash- Ington. The president often speaks of Augusta as “home" and his reception here tonight, as he rode through crowled and brilliantly flluminated streets, leading from the train to the home of Major Joseph B. Cumming, | whose guest he is, %as in the nature of a | home-coming celebration. Mr. Taft has stated several times that he was a resi- dent of Augusta when elected president, that 1s, when the electoral votes were cast at Washington. The Augusta people are prepared to claim him as thelr own and hence the name of ‘Taft, Willlam Howard, presi- dent of the United States, Terrace Cot- tage, Summerville,” appears in the cur- rent city directory. Monday morning the president will play golf on the links of the Country club. At noon or shortly thereafter he will of- ficiate and spéak at the opening of the Georgla-Carolina fair, leaving Augusta at 2:30 p. m, for Florence, 8.

EXHIBITS FOR FRUIT, SHOW Wenstern Staten Send Shipments Cove ng Wide Range. Freeman L. Reed, superintendent of the National Horticultural congress, has re- celved a bill of lading for a car load of Idaho fruit, which includes exhibits pre. pared by Canon, Ada and Washington counties, of that state. The car left Caldwell, 1da, on November 2, with or- ders to be delivered in Council Bluffs as soon as possible. In this same car Coun- cll, Ida., has sent an exhibit of 293 boxes of frult, The ldaho people are entering for the whole list of prizes offered by the congre including contests for gen- eral display, both state, district and county, the commercial district dis- play and county commercial display. They are also after'the premiums in indi- vidual, artiftic, &mmercial, irrigated land, single box and varlety displays and for the premiums given for the largest number of plates, as well as other spe- clal premiums and for the premiums for vegetables and frult products. That St. Joseph, Mo., is in the contest for the next annual meeting is announced in a letter from W, D, Maxwell of St Joseph, received by-Mr, Reed. Mr, Max- well says that the principal exhibits from Missourl will be from the northern part of the state as there is little Missourl fruit this year except in that sectiom: Mr, Maxwell says: “We are going to place St. Joseph in pomination for the next meet- ing." Idaho representatives expect to arrive about the middle of next week and prom- ise to have their exhibits in place before the opening of the congress. Entries were recelved Saturday morn- ing from Charles O. Garrett of MitcHell- ville and his brother, Clayton Garrett, of Adelphi, Ia, asking for space for about 600 plates of irult, which are entered in competition for & wide variety of pre- miums, including individual, artistic, com- displays and the Btorz trophy. Charles O. Garrett will also display veg- @ables and nuts. Mr. Reed expects car load exhibits to begin to arrive, within & day or so and most of them will be here before Novem- ber 10, by which date exhibitors have been notified to have thelr exhibits here.

Appeal to Other Banks. the haste of the banking department settling with depositors cannot be ascer- tained, but on the night of September 2 Bank Commissioner Young made the propo- sition to the Oklahoma City clearing house that It it would advance 320,000 that amount would place Columbia in a solvent condition and the bank would be permitted to open next morning. Mr. Young's state- ment of October 30 shows, however, that besides levylng an assessment of 100 per cent on the $200,000 capital stock, President W. L. Norton of the Columbia and others have been required to assign collateral and properties appraised at $563,600 to the bank- ing board to protect the guaranty fund 000 in the amount the Columbla w sidered ment in this short time. The quick work assets has been not only through collec- tions and sale of collateral, but also by settling with depositors by turning oyer to them bills receivable. Because of the manner in which the liquidation of the bank has been handled, the effect the test will have on the guar- anty law in Oklahoma is uncertain. At the present, bankers and the press, demo- cratic as well as republican, are bristling with censure and less is being said about the guaranty law itself. When the next legislature meets it will be the most im- portant matter up for consideration, some favoring its abandonment, some, perhaps, standing pat” on the law as it is, but the majority with an avalanche of amend- ments. Bankers ke Conditio: 1f the law is continued in force, the state bankers, as evidenced by the recent reso- lutions adoptsd at Tulsa. will demand that either the banking bcard, consisting of the governor, treasurer, lieutenant governor, suditor and president of the Board of Agriculture, be abolished and the super- visien of the guaranty fund turned cve to the bank commissioner, or that the board be reorganized and the state bankers be permitted to name at least two members of the board. They claim this is their right, as the fund is raised by assessing them. Another amendment ers is that when a state bank desires to liquidate %0 per cent of the unusual guaranty fund contributed by it, it shall be refunded. This will be bitterly opposed by the ad- ministration as the result would be doubtless the conversion of most of the large state banks into nationals. When the Farmers State Bank at Oklahoma City was recently converted into a national bank to escape the guaranty law, It forfeited the amount it had paid into the guaranty fund. Its assessments totalled $10,000 and under the proposed amendment 39,000 would have been returned to it The great weakness of the guaranty law But in the liquidation of the Columbla the Banking board and Governor Haaskell, who is per- practically the methods outlined in the guaranty law within ten days after taking charge and are paying the depositors from the money secured on the bank assets in- stead of from the guaranty fund.

This met with much opposition from the state bankers, a number of them of which $1,985,647.27 had been pald from the assets of the bank and only $503,647.27 from the guaranty fund. When Young took kinds in the bank Approximately 66 per cent has been pald from the guaranty Whether there has been a material sacri- fice of the assets of the bank because of in with no llability on the state. Law Won't Stand Hard Test. It is of pecullar interest in connection with Oklahoma's guaranty law that its friends no longer claim that it is intended to apply In times of financial stringency such as brought it forth. Governor Haskell recommended the law to the first legisla- ture as a cure for panics. The second legislature, with a view to correcting the defects pointed out Auring the natlonal campaign, although there had been no ac- tual test of the law in Oklahoma, mate- rially amended it. . In the second legisla- ture it was considered as a law to take care of “lame duck banks' and spread the loss in case of one or two failures over such an area that the bad effect would not be felt, but it was no longer claimed that it would work out during a panic, because of the smallness of the fund and the im- possibility of keeping it where it could be obtained when needed. If Jeft in the banks, as is now demanded by state bankers, it invested in securities there would be no market for them In the time of financlal stringency, and if put in a vault the state would be enticing money from the private ‘sock’ to place it in a great public *sock.’ Enemles of the guaranty idea most fre- quently make the pointthat the law en- courages wildcat banks and then compels the conservative to make good the losses of the wildcatter. The Columbia grew from a bank with $865,000 deposits to $3,000,000 in less than a year. It's fallure has had the effect of starting agitation for a strict enforcement of the state banking law and an amendment also, i the law is weak garding offenses or penalties. No Case on Record.
