A system which is fraught with
such, dire consequences as this can
not be looked upon with complaisance
by any set or class cf citizens. In
our scheme of commercial life we need
the small town with its merchants,
and tradesmen, the same as we need
the business center, and we cannot
afford to do away with them for ben
efits and conveniences secured by fed
eral delivery of parcels.—The Okla
homian.
THE MONEY SITUATION.
Has been very serious for some
time and Wall Street has suffered
very severely. The government
proved its complete subjugation t>
those gamblers and money thieves by
rushing there with great bags of gold
to bo loaned upon collateral which
was holding a position in the market*
simply because it was listed and could
be borrowed on. While it is very true
that the situation was serious, and
the assistance in this instance was
necessary, yet had not years of lax
and lavish nursing upon the part
of the Federal Government been de
voted to the largest gambling den in
the world—Wall Street, such a thing
as taking the money of the people
and casting it before these human
parasites would have been unneces
sary.
