SOMETHING RADIOALLY WEONG.
For years patriotic men concern
ed in the welfare of tbe masses, and
not in the specially favored few,
have been denouncing financial
system adopted by this country, as
a system that is calculated to bred
panics and periods when the earn
ings of the many are swept into the
coffers of the few, in other words a
financial system that can be so
manipulated by a few in control, so
as to enrich the few at the expense
of the many. In times of panic the
patriotic men are listened to but as
soon as panic is over and times be-
gin to improve the patriotic men
cease to be anything but "calamity
howlers" until another panic shows
up. The present tie up of the cir-
culating medium (money) of the
country by Wall Street ought to
forcibly impress every intelligent
American that there is something
radically wrong with this nation's
financial system. It should do much
more. It should make the Ameri-
can people get busy and formulate a
financial system that would make a
recurrence of such a panic, orginat
ing from a lik6 source, an impossi
bility. They should not permit or
suffer the financial cancer that is
gnawing at the vitals of the nation
to be smeared over with a little
salve; but should go after it with a
surgeons knife and remove it root
and branch. The present banking
system of this country is the cancer.
A banking system that does not
make depositors money absolutely
secure, is not such a system as the
intelligence of this nation entitles it
to have or one that should be toler-
ated in a country, whose people
produce enough wealth in a single
year to make all of its people well

ary system and don't want to see

Street. Why this is so is briefly
summed up by editor of the Oko
lotta Messenger as follows:
The "captains of finance" on
Wall street have so manipulated the
banking business of the whole coun
try for years that when a New York
bank takes a pinch of snuff nine-
tenths of its correspondents in the
rural districts sneeze. In other
words the New York bankers not
only dictate to congress the kind of
laws that may be passed, but are
able to bring to their assistance and
support practically every bank in
the country. Through this power
they have been able to center in the
vaults of their city practically every
dollar ot surplus savings and trust
money, as well as the clearance de-
posits of every bank in the land.
Nor are the people entirely blame-
less. Without any law for it, and
simply because the New York banks
have held a sort of domineering
hand over their smaller brothers
throughout the country, every time
a state, county, or municipality is-
sues a bond or note it is made pay-
able, interest and principal, at some
New York bank as its fiscal agency.
This means that far in advance of
the maturity of these obligations
money is gathered in taxes from the
people and deposited in New York,
there to await the falling due of the
bonds or notes. Taking the entire
nation, this means the centering in
the New York banks the larger part
of all the circulating medium of the

Bank Closes.
Last Friday the Merchants and
Planters Bank of Lawton closed its
doors. It was a bank capitalized at
25,000 and its deposits $60,000
Cashier D. R. Rankin disappeared on
same day bank closed and diligent
search has failed to locate him.
Bank Examiner Smock in looking in-
to condition of bank estimates that
a shortage of about &">0>000 in bank
accounts is left by cashier. D. R.
Rankin was one of the democratic
candidates before state primary for
tbe nomination of state treasurer;
but was defeated by Menifee for the
nomination. The bank depositors,
perhaps, help to furnish the money
necessary to make race for nomina-
tion in democratic primary. It
seems that J. Harvey Lvnch borrowed
from bank on his unsecured note
about $11,000. D. R. Rankin the
missing cashier married Agnes Meeks
formerly a Norman girl, and she is
left distracted and with two small
children.
