A Very Rich Man Says:
“The American people am prodigal, and our
extravagance will have to be paid for by
some one. People are taking advantage of
prosperity, such as has never been excelled
in this county, to be wasteful and extrava-
gant. We are not saving up for the rainy
day, for the time of need.”

New York. Jan. 5.—J. Plerpont Mor-
gan, Thomas F. Ryan and I^evi P.
Morton, linked hands in New York
today In a trust company merger,
which means resources of $150,u00,
004. It Is a triple combination, bring
lag the Guaranty Trust company, the
.Morton Trust company and the Fifth
Avenue Trust company, all of this
city, under one bead with the title of
the Guaranty Trust company. The
merger la perhaps the largest of Its
kind In the United States. Directors
of all three companies met today and
Informally approved the terms of the
merger.
Prealdsnt In Doubt.
Levi P. Morton, who Is president of
the Morton Trust company and the
Fifth Avenue Trust company—both
known as Morton-Rvan concerns—has
consented to act as chairman of the
board of the merger companies, for
which no president as yet has been
selected. The name of Alexander J.
Hemphill, vice-president and acting
president of the Guaranty Trust com-
pany, has been mentioned for the po-
sition, however.
The new move in finance follows the
recent absorption of the Guaranty
trust company by the so-called Mor
gan interests, but upon Just what terms
the merger was made waa not dis-
closed today.
Resources of Concern*.
The Guaranty. Trust company was
organized In 1891 and has total de-
posits of more than »88,0(M),000. The
Morton Trust company, which was
formely the banking house of Bliss,
Morton A On., was organized In 1899.
1 ho mas F. Ryan is vice-president Its
deposits aggregate more than $45,000,-
000. Like the Guaranty Trust com-
pany, its capital and turplus are $2,-
000,000 each.
The Fifth Avenue Trust company,
founded ten years ago, Is one of the
better known up-town financial insti
tut ion* On the capita land surplus
of $1,000,000 each. It has paid large
dividends In recent years.
Morgan Dominate*.
The capital of the company will
probably be fixed at $5,000,000, with
perhaps a like amount for surplus. It
Is believed the merger will Involve
large stock and cash dividends to the
shareholders of the three companies.

Fifth Avenue Trust company will be

ASSAULTED SCHOOL TEACER.
Miss Grace L. Smith, who Is teach-
ing In District No. 217, filed a com-
plaint agsilnst Karl Moran for assault
and battery in the police court and
the trial took place before Judge
Smith yesterday, resulting in Karl be-
ing fined $10.00 and costs.
It seems that during the dinner
hour a boy 14 years oid stirred up a
fight with another boy 7 years old,
and that Miss Smith called the larger
boy Into the house and told him to be
seated and stay In during the remain-
der of the dinner hour.
The boy attempted to leave his seat
and the teacher took him by the collar
and set him down, telling him to stay
there, but be again attempted to leare
and she then took a twitch and gave
hiss a whipping and made him remain
where she had designated.
Earl Moran. 17 years old, came in
and attempted to take the switch
away, breaking It Into pieces, leaving
a part ia the teacher's baud. He then
grabbed her hand and rubbed his
knuckles acmes the back of her hand,
attempting to make her release the
remainder of the switch. As stated
before. Miss Smith filed a complaint
against Earl. The defendant took an
appeal to the county court
Moran, who has been in the county
only about five months, has always
been well behaved, and It la stated
that bis desire to “show off" before
some lady friend who was present Is
Ukely what prompted him to make
the assault on the teacher. The ac-
tion of Judge Smith in upholding the
hands of Miss Smith seeio* to meet
with the approval of practically all
the patrons of the district
TEACHERS, ATTENTION.
The regular teacher’s examination
will take place at the office of the
County Superintendent 4n Woodward
on Thursday and Friday, January 27

New York, Jan. 4.—Boldly daring
to oppose the wishes of the people, In
order to “whitewash" Ballinger at any
coat, la the way Collier's Weekly sixes
up the stand of the Taft administra-
tion on the interior department mud-
d$w. - - w
Ballinger is once more arraigned
for his apparent desire to take a stand
with corporate interests, as against
the general Interests of the United
States and the declaration is made
that an impartial congressional com-
mittee should be selected to mke the
ordered investigation of alleged rot-
tenness in the national capital. This
committee, the Journal says, will have
little to do in Gifford Pinchot's de-
partment as it will get support there,
but this support Is not so much as-
sured in other sections of the interior
department. Colliers statement fol-
lows:
A manager in a great Industry was
discovered in schemes hostile to his
stockholders. When the manager was
put upon his defense he protested
that a fellow employe had no right
to give warning against him and ought
to be punished. When a captain in
an army was put on trial for improper
dealings with hostile forces bis de-
fense was that the private soldier who
had been complained should be dis-
missed for pernicious activity.
When an American citizen, selected
by the president of the United States
to keep watch over incalculably great
public wealth, as trustee for eighty
million women, men and children, was
charged with failing to administer
this trust with care and integrity, hi*
response, when forced to take notice
of the criticisms, waa that those who
stimulated public knowledge should he
punished for their too much seal.
“The Investigating committee, in our
opinion, will need to spend little time
on the forestry role in the land office
situation. Mr. Gifford Pinchot la a
rare type in public life. In this or any
country. To n special genius for real-
izing the measureless possibilities for
human welfare which lie In land nnd
water and the mineral kingdom, he
added e rare power to organise the
control of those vast natural resources
and turn them to practical use, and
this ability waa Illuminated by a spir-
itual Intensity which stirred him to
devote a lifetime to service. Presi-
dent Roosevelt saw and appreciated
the talent wedded to the character,
and made the most of such a public
gift To a man of this type truth Is
ever a companion. If we may haxard
n guess, the committee will have no
labor In obtaining information from
the forestry department.
“The attitude of the national admin-
istration is easy to comprehend. Con-
fronted with heavy tasks. It has been
annoyed by slurs upon one department
‘Let us choke out this criticism,’ It
said, ‘end go fonsSM with our wcrkl
if we allow criticisms to multiply, the
Possession of Liquor With Intent te
Violate Law Held te be
Uulawful.
Guthrie, Jan. 5.—The criminal court
of appeals, In an opinion by Presiding
Judge Henry M. Furman, bolds Sec-
tion 1 of Article 3, Senate bill No. II,
known as the prohibititon enforcement
act, which makes it an offenae to have
possession of prohibited liquors with
the intention of violating any of the
provisions of the prohibitory lew to
be constitutional and valid, In the test
case of the State of Oklahoma versus
George Hoffer, an appeal from the Lo-
gan county court.
The criminal court reverses County
Judge J. C. Strang and other county
Judges over the state who have held
the above mentioned section of the
enforcement act unconstitutional for
the reason that tthe clause embraces
different subject matter from that
contained In the title of the act.
County Attorney J&mes Hepburn
took exception to the ruling of Judge
Strang and appealed the case to the
criminal court of appeals on an agreed
statement of facts.
Judge Strang in the trial court sus-
tained the defendant's motion to
quash and set aside the Information,
holding that the section was uncon-
stitutional.
This decislou also affects a number
of similar cases pending in the county
court which will probably be tried
at the next term of court
whole administration will be discredit-
ed.' With this view we have a human
sympathy. The answer Is that the sit
uation is not of our own waking, or
of the public.
"Since the administration chose tc
put terriffic power Into the hands of
a man because he had successfully
raised campaign funds In the state
of Washington, and was desired by
great Interests, the disagreeable con-
sequences can scarcely be visited
upon those who would reform the
■ltuattlon, in order to save to the na-
tion both its material prosperity and
its ideals of fair dealing.
“Frankly, we can not understand
how the administration can take such
risks as it takes when it insists on
defending at any coat a man who real-
ises the desires of exploiters more
keenly than he realises the lives of
ordinary struggling citizens,
“As this newspaper goes to press,
the make-up of the investigating com-
mittee Is undetermined. If the com-
mittee is made up of impartial men,
objection could be made to Senator La-
Follette, since his views are known.
If, however, the committee contains
friends of Mr. Ballinger, opponents of
the forestry service, or professional
stand-patters, then there Is every rea-
son for Including 8enator lAFollette,
whose single presence would mean
that the investigation would be real.
“It is to be remembered that Mr.
Ballinger's view will wlU be represent-
ed by the ablest counsel. In control of
the land office documents, able to sup-
press as well as to produce evidence,
Tne attorney general of the United
State# has made himself Mr. Ballin-
ger's special defender, which means
of course, that the whole department
of uatlce la engaged on oae side. Mr.
Aldrich and the majority or the son-
ate are strongly in sympathy.
