The American people have learned by
experience the truth of Tolstoi's dec-
laration that a tyrannical party is
as oppressive as a tyrannical per-
son or dynasty. This year is an au-
spicious time to overthrow the rule
of the tyrannical political party-.
County Attorney F. Lee Schwan-
der has recently received a communi-

health officer appealing to him to en-
force the law In regard to the failure
of the medical profession and mid-
wives to comply with the law relat-

STATE GUARANTY OF DEPOSITS
Guthrie Okla. Feb. 17. Okla-
ma's law providing for a State guar
anty of bank deposits which has just
become operative marks one of the
most advanced steps that has been
taken In any part of the country to
solve a great financial problem. The
provisions of the statute are of a very
simple character. Each State bank
Is required to pay to the state bank-
ing board a sura equal to 1 per cent
of Its average daily deposits. When-
ever this sum Is depleted -it shall be
increased by further assessments.
When a bank fails the State bank
examiner steps in and pays the de-
positors from the guaranty funds.
These payments become a first lien on
the assets of the defunct bank. Na-
tional banks that wish to avail them-
selves of the benefits cf the law may
with the permission of the comptroller.
In answering a query the Galves-
ton News says: "In 19o7 Mars and
the earth were only ' 38000 miles
apart." The error !s doubtless the
fault . of the compositor. If the
statement were true it would be easy
to establish communication with that
planet provided it be inhabited by in-
telligent beings. -
There Is good reason to believe
that the last message of President
Roosevelt to Congress Is the wedge
that has split his party into two fac-
tions more hostile to each other than
either is to the Democrats. It has sol-
idified the reactionaries who are pre-
paring to make a desperate fight for
whosoever appears to be in the best
position to beat Taft. At present it
looks like the opposition will
crystallize around Hughes but it is
too early yet to hazard an opinion
for there Is no telling where the light-
ning will strike when the whole
atmosphere is surcharged with elec
tricity. Meanwhile there are many
who predict that failing to secure the
nomination of Taft Roosevelt himself
will consent to run rather than allow
the other faction to win.

BRYAN IN HOOSIER CAPITAL.
Indianapolis Ind. Feb. 17. At a
banquet In his honor at the Claypool
Hotel tonight William J. Bryan made
the first speech he has delivered in
Indiana in some time. While no doubt
has been felt regarding the favorable
attitude of Indiana Democrats towards
Mr. Bryan's presidential aspirations
his followers thought that a personal
visit from the Nebraska leader would
do no harm especially as the State
convention to elect delegates to
Denver Is but little over a month dls
tant.
