The slump In thv stock market on Wall street and Its consequent dis aster to some of the big concerns will scarcely reach In the southwest. The only evidence of troublous finan cial 'as that will reach here Is the weak ling of the cotton market. Tho' fact ' :at the southwest Is not to be disturbed la due to our Independ ence of New York and New York banks. Tho banks of this country transacx their business largely through tho financial Institutions of St. Lousl and Kansas City where thero Is not so much wild speculation and where money matters are con ducted on a more conservative ba sts. In other words, tho southwest has grown until It no lancer depends upon New York. Tho governor of Ne vada, realizing the condition that pre vailed In his state, called a three days holiday and adding to these three days the Sunday that follows, gives the banks of that state four days to apply precautionary measures to prevent financial ruin, Nevada through ItH mining Interest la prob ably much moro closely connected with New York than this country. No cause exists hero for any fi nancial panic. I.ocal banks nro as solvent ns they over were. The farms havw produced good crops and all products nro bringing a good price. Fair Oklahoma will move along un mindful of the troubles of Wall street. -oo- Tho head maid of tho queen dowa ger of Italy makes J5.000 a year from the sale of her mistress' cast-off clothes, which nro given to her ns a perquisite.

He ta assailed almost -rry day. bv the various floating schemes for xxalled advertising by the gentry who "work" town after town and city after city with advertising "schemes" of various kinds Now and then one of these Is somewhat novel, and los ing sight of the other fact that It Is otherwise quite worthiest the mer chant throws away a little of his advertising appropriation. He could be just as effectively original If he ehang-l the dollars ho Invests In such fohemeji Into pennies and amus ed himself by scattering them from housetops. He would "attract atten tion" by such a proceeding hot he would not appeal to his fellow citi zens as a good advertiser. The "scheme-proof merchant Is the one who has learned to concen trate his fire upon the target He has learned that thp lt advertising Is that afforded him by tho best news paper In his city: that he helps this best newspaper to grow still better. still more creditable to the city, by a llb-Tal advertising patronage And he knows that every dollar of bis advertising appropriation foolishly spent has to be withheld from his real advertising campaign. Of course, overy merchant knows that not all newspapers are worth while advertising mediums but the poorest newspaper Is lmmeasureably better than the best of the vagrant "schemes" that como along. TRUST COMPANY FAILURE. The closing of the doors of tho Knickerbocker Trust company In .SVw York Tuesday will have no widespread Influence, execept for good, upon the financial Interests of the east, nnd none at all In Tex as. While the failure may haw i mowntnrlly demoralizing effect and whKe financial circles gener. ally will deplore tho suspension nnd feel some concrn nbout tho final outcome. It will doubtless hasten tho day of tho consummation of the end to which tho conservative and solid bankers of New York have been laboring for somo time. I'nder the Impetus of wild Anal clerlng by avaricious and unscrupu lous persons, which has followed tho unexampled prosperity of tho legitimate enterprises of tho country a system of manipulation In cor pornto Institutions has been devel oped, or rather elaborated, which In tho very naturo of things promised ultimate disaster. Tho first nota ble application of this system was : : : , .... .w . i a legitimate start, woica snarfs i;icuuk urn mere ia richi were hypothecated for the purchase dinger In the operation, but It wtl of other shares, until he had Cw not affect his credit so long as he majority In his name.

Certain Individuals In New York spcrrjlatlo- individuals, as distin guished from conservative bank ers applied the same system to the financial Institutions wtth which they have been connected. One banking Institution being established, they have not hesitated to use tho col lateral of that institution to estab lish another and another, until they had a chain of banks established practically upon the capital of one John Sharp Williams called tho president a Southern democrat at tho demonstration In honor of tho chief oxecutlvo nt VIcksburg.

Among the many resolutions re celving favorable consideration by i the aNtloal Farmers' congress recently ' In session in Oklahoma City, was thv following revolution offered by del egate William Hwce of Caddo coun ty, Oklahoma: 'Hesolved, That we urgently recom ri'nd to the congress of the United but receiving deposits as separate' states tnat ,n AiKK!Vi of the institutions according to tho prefer-Uialning portions of the agricultural .nee of the depositor.

Duj-lng fair wenthr tho sailing was swift and smooth, but thcro was nn element of such danger In tho application of tho system to banking that tho legi timate nnd conscrvatlvo bankers of New York somo tlmo slnco quietly but with 'termination set on foot a movement to rid tho business of these speculate c Individuals. Speculatlvu baners were given to understand plainly that they must cease to Jeopardlzo the good namo of tho honest banking Institutions of the city, nnd the only certain way In which this could tw done was by the personal withdrawal of the speculative, officers from every in. VfiAitlon ngalnst which suspicion might bo lodged. Tho resignation of Helnze ti few days ago from ono of tho New York banks U nn II lustrntlon of tho application of this rule. The reslgnalton of Helnze was followed by the resignation of Char les T. Jlarney of tho Knickerbock er Trust company, which precipi tated the run on tho Institution. These resignations nro simply In Jlno with tho determination of tho great majority of tho solid banking Institutions of New York to rid bank lug of nn element that may at any tlmo discredit tho wholo business. That It Is nothing moro than this Is proven by tho fact that tho New York clearing houso has resolved to protect every legitimate Interest when somo years ngo Henry Ives, and to sco that no banking houso a poor clerk In nn advertising con- which does banking to tho exo'.u cern in New York, gained nbsoluto 8on of all manner of speculation control of the C. 11. & I), railroad '. hall suffer. nnd nltnost wrecked tho property, with but a few shares of stock ns PAY CHECKS Tho Pay Check has many call! upon IL It must fulfill many duties.

JONES Furniture.Carpet H Stove Store Nothing but good can flnaCy como from tho elimination from n busi ness requiring tho strictest con servatism of such men as aro wil ling to weaken tho Institutions with which they nro connected, for tho hope of Inordinate, gain. Specula tion nnd banking have nothing In common, and tho New York bankers are determined that tho two shaU not be operated together If they can prevent It, nnd It Is very npparent that they are doing good work in forcing every banking Institution In tho metropolis upon a Arm founda tion. As a matter of fact, tho whole tu mult Is the result of somo much needed New York financial house cleaning, but tho Influences Uoii the country will he for good, It will warn tho man who Is tempted to direct aalo, the number of acres en tered or purchased direct by any one person, be limited to eighty (SO) acres and if said land be located within three (3) miles of any railroad town, tho maximum Unit to be fort (40) acres. Mr. Heece urges this resolution be causo a family can live prosperous, contented and happy on SO acres. Thousands of families are already prosperous, contented and happy on forty acres. With an enterprising farmer on each eighty acres, tho good roads problem will soon bo settled. Wo will soon have good roads, more convenient and better schools, colleges, churches, lodges, electric lines of transportation, and better mall and telephono service. Tho families that arc now tolling In our crowded cities, barely able to pay rent and other expenses can then bo able to llvo In the country whero they can llvo in plenty and In far moro healthy and better sur roundings, freo from debt and from tho landlord's oppression. There aro In the west millions of acres used only to grow noxious weeds nnd the needs are blown and carried over tho well cultivated land. This Is true also to probably a less extent, over tho middle and wester states. Eighty acres Is as much as any one family can properly farm. If well farmed SO acres will support a large family In luxury, S head of horses, 10 cows, 25 hogs, sheep fowls of all kinds nnd grow In addition to tho usual farm crops abundanco of fruit, trees for fuel, vegetables and pasture. Our fertile land Is rapidly going Into tho hands of syndicates and wealthy men who buy It not for homes, but simply for speculation. If sold In small tracts It gives tho ixwr' man a chance that ho can get In no other way.' In tlmo of war tho poor man Is called upon to step Into tho ranks and fight for his country. In tlmo of ix.-n.ee It Is but fair that he bo given the best iKsslblo opportunity to estab lish a homo for himself and family. We hope that tho holders of large, wild and unproductive tracts can be Induced to sell otf SO nnd 40-acro tracts to enterprising and educated farmers. Tho country would develop rnpldly nnd tho remainder of the farm will bo worth twice as much as It Is now Oklahoman. oo Tho Oklahoma City chamber of commerce has not snllclu-d any mem lers for a period of three years but a committee Is nt work thore. today and say will ndd ono hundred new names. Now, really, Oklahoma City whouldn't brag about that If this town had not been worked for new mem bers for a period of threo weeks, Col. Doak, the hustling troasurer, can add that many names nlono without the aid of a committee. Hut there Is a dlffercnco In Oklahoma City and Ardmore.
