No country on the face of the earth can hnw the recuperative power*

Bible for u« to produce a five million dollar crop in one year. That
would |«y every debt owed by the citizen* of thi> county and fill our
bank* with the money left over. Never in the hi«tory of thi* country
were the condition* more auspicious at the first of the year, with the
ground full of moisture and the wheat and alfalfa crops in finest poa-
aible condition; with all kind* of farm produce selling at fairly remun
•rative prices; with the pro#perts of an awakening through-out the
country In commercial and financial circles, we may reasonably feel
■afe in putting forth our best effort*. Let every man who is not already
one become an optimiat.

guests at dinner Friday evening,

wards they accompanied Miss John-
son to the train for Elk City where
she visited friends for a few days.
A strong effort is being made to agree on some candidate to oppose
the race of Judge K. L. Williams for governor. Many prospective can-
didate* have been feeling out the situation, and many other names have
been suggested, but It arerns no renewal ugreomenr hn« ho«w rcartied.
It is recogonized that the only chance for any opponent of JudgeWilliams
to get the nomination is to line up the opposition for one man Judge
Williams has already secured the most powerful support of the leading
democrats of the state and we believe it is too late in the game for any
man to hope to win. The people of Oklahoma are ready for an admin-
istration whose leading teqpt shall be economy, and Judge Williams is
recognized as the man above all others who will actually practice ec-
onomy in the administration of state affairs.
The Democratic Currency Law
Now that the Owen-Glass measure has been enacted into law it be-
comes our duty to study its provisions and become familiar with its
practical workings. Of course most of us will havp no part inthe'scheme
but every one of us wants to understand the fundamental principals of
the financial system of the country. Likewise almost every one of
has found it most difficult to get anything like a practical conception
of the new plan from the great mass of miscellaneous writings which
hBve appoared in the daily Pre?s. Far this reason we are attempting
here to give a crude outline of the measure as a whole. In view of the
fact that it is a matter beyond the ordinary ken of the editor of a coun
try newspaper, and of the Democrat especially, we hope our readers
will be kind in their criticism of our effort to give an epitome of the
law which may be inteligibfc? to the average citizen.
The law provides for the establishment of not 'less than eight or
more than twelve regional reserve banks in which all national banks are
required to take stock to the amount of six percent of its capital and
surplus State banks and trust Companies may also become stockholders
Or members of these reserve banks by submitting to Federal examina-
tion and regulation. Every bank will be required to keep 12 percent
of demand and 5 percent of time deposits in the reserve bank for its
district. Each of the regional banks will have a board of nine directors
