AN OLD PAPER -
From Afton American:
S J Matlock this week brought to
this office an old newspaper which is
yellow and musty with age having
been in the possession of his mother
since sho was a little girl The paper

of a five-column paper and is a re-
print of the Ulster County Gazette
published in Kingston (supposedly
New York) under date of January 4
1800 The paper is volume 11 No
88 showing thaf the newspaper was
founded in 1789 It contained an ac-
count of the death of Geo Washing-
ton the resolutions of congress re
gardlng same and the reply of John
Adams the new president
The paper also contains an account
of the battle of Zurich — also a poem
written by some young lady on the
death of George Washington Several
small advertisements and notices of
sheriff's sales are in the paper and
among the ads is that of one-half of
a saw mill for sale and in the same
ad is the notice that the person offer
a stout healthy active negro wench
for sale Also a list of letters left
uncalled for on December 81 1799 is

TO UNIFORMPRISONERS
Vinita Leader:
United States Marshal Grant Victor
passed through here last Friday night
on his way from his farm at Afton to
Muskogee- He says he has orders to
put in uniform all of the federal pris-
oners in the Muskogee county jail and
that he will receive bids for the cloth-
ing to le furnished to the prisoners
The intention of the government is to
strip all prisoners when they come in
and put government clothes on them
Their old clothes will be kept Intact
and when they are discharged they
will be returned to them
Too many folks do things a 'certain
way because some one else does ’em
that way This 1b the day when there
is a premium on men and women with
ideas of their own

Vinita Leader:
A neuTbooze scheme has been nip-
ped in Oklahoma further down the
Une than Craig county This scheme
originated in Kansas City where at
least threefourths of all the devilment
In booze Inventions originate The
officers in the south country discov-
ered last week many cases of plain
drunk also a number of orelde cases
Nd trace of the boozery however
could be located until one of the offi-
cers discovered that -cocanuts were
being sold at a certain place for $1
each He Investigated had a friend
to get one for him proceeded to bore
for itilk when wonders of wonders
this cocanut produced about one-alf
pint of the rottenest coffin varnish he
had smelled or tasted for years and
years Ho Immediate went to the
place of business cabbagged all the
cocoanuts on hand (about five bush-
els) which-were selling like hot cakes
at $100 per -
It seems that a hole had been bored
In the usual place In the nut the con-
tents drained off and then one half
pint of liquid refreshment placed In
It the hole stopped up with parafln
a dash of black paint placed thereon
and presto we are introduced to the
'New Cocoanut" for Oklahoma on-

LEGISLATIVE NOTES
i
(By W A Delzell D P B)
The lower house passed a resolution
favoring forfeiture of jobs and loss of
pay for any state employee that Is
caught lobbying
W J Bryan is asked to address
the legislature sometime during the
session A resolution to this effect
passed unanimously J Roy Williams
offered the resolution
Representative Roberts of Texas
county had to travel 938 miles to get
to the capital Oklahoma is some
state
Representative Tener of Pot county
has bills In the legislature having for
their commendable object the reduc-
tion of court costs It is to be hoped
the bills -will receive the careful at-
tention they deserve Court oosts can
certainly stand quite a bit of pruning
The Tener bills provide for Jury fees
to be taxed to the losing side In cas-
es tried Provides that joint defend-
ants may be tried jointly or severally
In the discretion of the court Prohi-
bit the summoning of more than five
witnesses to testify to any one fact
The Farmers’ caucus has a perman-
ent organization perfected Hugh A
Randall of Oklahoma county Is pres-
ident and J E Lemen of Grant coun-
ty secretary The Farmers have
34 members
The United States senator will be
elected before this Is read by the pub
lie The election will be but a mat-
ter of form re-electing Robert L Ow-
en to succeed himself
Speaker Maxey served in the sec-
ond and third legislatures elected by
Pot county moved to Muskogee coun-
ty and was elected to the present leg-
islature from that county something
of a feat In Itself
Blassingame of Salllsaw Is always
In his seat In the senate one of the
hard workers But Senator Blassln--game
learned to work while in the
newspaper business
W B Anthony of the Marlow Re-
view is secretary to Lteut-governor
McAllister A good selection An-
thony Is one of the beat posted men
in the state on public affairs -One
bill for re-dlstrictlng the state
has so far been Introduced Its by
Barrett of Shawnee and provides for
eight congressional districts Senator
Barrett thinks all of the districts will
bo safely democratic
So far no one has suggested an In-
vestigation for the Democratic Press
Bureau
Possible Banking Legislation
No problem that Is to come before
tha legislature perhaps exceeds in
general interest that of the possible
changes' that may be -made in the
bank guaranty law All concede that
something to relieve the situation that
Is becoming unbearable for the bankB
will be mode When questioned on
the problem a few days ago Governor
Cruce authorized the press to make
for him the following statement:
“The guaranty of deposits has be-
come a fixed principle and in ‘ my
Judgment will be maintained In the
laws of this state and will be enacted
Into the laws of every progressive
State” was the remark of Governor
Cruce when consulted with reference
to the campaign of state bankers in
support of the amending of the pres-
ent bank guaranty law

ZJJ II
bankers of Oklahoma during the past
four years have undergone the most
trying ordeal that business men have
ever been called upon to endure and
their fidelity to the underlying prln
clpla of affording protection to the
funds entrusted to them has been ab-
undantly established They have con-
tributed hundreds of thousands of dol-
lars to the guaranty fund of the state
thereby saving a corresponding loss
to the Individual depositors in state
banks That this burden has been a
grevlous one no one can deny that
something must be done to curtail the
loss and make more certain the obli-
gation imposed upon state bankers Is
equally patent to every thinking man
In asking for an amendment to the
state banking law the state bankers
are not all -unreasonable Of course
they can escape the burdens of as-
sessment either by liquidation or by
taking out national - bank charters
many of the bankers bowveer pre-
fer to operate as state banks and will
do so Just as long as state banks can
be profitably operated There have
been a great many conversions of
large state banks into national banks
during the past two years and unless
some changes are made in the bank-
ing law whereby the state banker-can
figure with more certainty upon the
amount of his annual contribution to
this fund I am Informed that there
will be many other conversions to na-
tional banks
“Oklahoma Is the first state In the
Union to adopt the principle of guar-
anteeing deposits and any failure of
the successful working of this law in
Oklahoma will work a hardship upon
the Idea being adopted in other state
The adoption of this principle in Ok-
lahoma was an advance step In bank-
ing and at the same time purely ex-
perimental In putting Into operation
any idea new every possible contin-
gency that will arise cannot be pro-
vided for and as fast as tbe opera-
tion of the Idea shows needed reform
and changes these changes should be
made”
I believe that the legislature will
approach this subjeot In a fair-minded
way and so far as the light of the
past four years will aid them will
undertake to amend the law so as to
give It added strength and make cer-
tain Its retention In Oklahoma”
