THE GAMBLER'S PANIC
Various names have been given to

been called a rich man'* panic and a
'•' all street panic. So far the banks
and trust companies that have failed.
have been located at the place,-, where
;.aiiil)liing has been carried ou iu a
most extensive way in st'y In - Ihiy-
lug and selling stock: on margin is
nothing but gumbiiu^. ot e man bets
tnai prices will rise inn another bets
that they will fall. The courts In
many states have held that suen4raiis.
ric.lioii* are gambling. lOvervotig know
v. !iei e that sort of gambling has be' ti
carried on to the greatest extent. .New

The banks that have not been luru-

Following up the letr.tr and holida>
proclamation ol acting tlovernor l"il-

closed today and will remain closed
throughout the week, unless the holi-
day is declared off earlier.
Tlie holiday was ordered merely to
put Oklahoma in line with financial
centers and to prevent a useless sacri-
fice of values iu the territory. The
condition of the Oklahoma City bauks
were never better and we were the
last to agree upon the measure adopt-

banks throughout the territory is
equal In as good. Hut when New York.
Chicago, St. Louis Kausus Cit* and
Wichita stopped paying out currency
temporarily, it seemed onJy wise that
Cklahoma Cit\ which is a deposit-
ory for a number of territorial banks
should follow suit ai protect all inter-
ests and to Riv. all people time to di-
gest. and understand tit* situation.
Hy the expiration of the holiday it
is strongl.v believed that the troubles
in New York and other c uteis will be
over and business can be resumed as
before.
\\ e trust that the people will ac—
ccpt the situatiion as It Is, calmly.
d not become unduly aia' nied over a
straight business proposition, that will
harm n<  one and protect everybody.
