Hi-posltor*’ Gaaramr r und The Bupreme Court of Oklahoma, in Noble Bute Hank v Haskell, 97 Pad*4c Reporter, fiflu, upholds ibe tutionalily of the Bank Guaramy Law. (he law is assailed a* repugnanl to the Constitution* of the Btate and almost every eonceivi {round, and emerges from the conflict eilboul sustaining a single mortal wound. It neither impairs the obli;alion of contracts, takes private propirty for public use without eompensaHon, nor deprives any person or banking corporation of life liberty, or pur. silt of happiness. The court metes rut its praise in th* follow mg dheusdon: "When deposits are made safe, confidence in bunks U assured Then whatever protect* the depositor, protects Hie banka, because it t xmfidence in the bank. Consequently he guaranteeing of deposit* on tot only aasuranee Io th* depositor out relief to the bank from any apprehension of any unnecessary run and withdrawals from the bunk. Fhe presumption is that the Bank Commissioner will efHcienUy administer the taws of his department, and, with that .law enforced, there can be no banks whose assets will not pav heir Uablllfies.

To repeal such measures aa, for in* lance, the direct primary or Civil Service law would at onoe place the Republican parly on the defensive. The direct primary law, like any new legislation, may have show n po nU which need* alre-glheulng. but it has clearly bren demonstrated by rewulla lhal lW*pe-pie nre intereriid wish 10 lake a direct and active part in ihe nomination of party candidites, und the people will justly reunt any interference w ilh this right, but the question of Ihe extension of the prencipleof direct primaries so as to abolish Htale con veil lions and 'platforms, and Hiereby dcst roving responsible party government, present* a serious proposition, which should be deeply and thoughtfully lonsidered. The increasing power of the Btate and its municipalities urgently require that the Ciy II Service shall be based on merit and lilneMi; that an efficient and honest public employe rhall be piolected iu the work for tbe people. Tl e Stale must have its work done for It ie same plane as a well-conducted business organixalion. ~ am looking forward to tbe coming lion of ihe Legislature with confidence. A majority of ihe members have bad previous experience, and il appears reasonably certain that no backward steps will be taken on the questions arising from the progressive reforms which have marked and made distinquished the adininisiral'Ons in our Hi ale since the people have placed the Republican partv in {lower.
