SUSTAINS STATE BANK TAX.
Oklahoma Law Upheld By Judge at
Guthrie.
Judge A. H. Houston, in the district
court at Guthrie, Okla., sustained a
demurrer filed by Attorney General
West in an injunction suit brought by
the Noble State bank against the state
hanking board and the bank commis
sioner, regarding the collect'on of a
state bank tax, on the ground that
there was not sufficient facts in the
petition to constitute a case of action.
TTfis is the first test on the Oklalioma
guarantee deposit law: In passing on
the case Judge Houston stated that
under the police powers of the state
given by the act the defendants have
the power to collect the tax, as the
banks that are allowed to do busYHess
in th's state are corporations and that
they are as much accountable to the
legislature as any other corporation
which serves the public.

graphical Union Anniversary.
Following is the address delivered
at the silver anniversary' celebration
of Lincoln Typographical Union, No.
209, by Hugh C. McVlcker, a charter
member cf the union:
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Nebras
ka Press Association:
As a charter member of Lincoln
Typograi hical Union, and a latter
day member of the press association,
I have been asked to welcome yon to
this modest celebration of the twenty
lii'th anniversary of the union's organi
zation. Between the editor and the
printer there is a bond of sympathy
which will take - more than bad copy
on the part of one and bad proofs
from the other 'to break. When Hor
ace Greeley, over what he regarded as
an unusually forceful editorial, wrote
the heading, "There Is Balm in
Gilead," and was pained the next day
to read in the paper "There's a Barn
in Guilford," he is said to have first
indulged in profanity, and then as a
philosopher to have remarked that it
was proof of what he had often ob
served that the editor and the com
positor should keep close together, and
the closer the better.
This observance has been delayed a
few (lays that the two -branches of the
srt preservative might celebrate to
gether. Just a few words on the
founding of the union. The inspira
tion came, not from1 the working
printers, but from a country editor
employed temporarily in some depart
ment at the capitol, and 'the meeting
at which it was decided to apply for
a charter was held in one of the rooms
of the state house. The first meeting
i'ollowing the receipt of the charter
was in a little foom over a building

CINCINNATI SHOE STORE AND ELECTIC REPAIRING FACTORY-1220 O
on O street; now the site of the Rudge
& Guenzel department store.
Less than 'twenty printers enrolled
at that time for membership, where
"there are today twenty with a hun
dred added. In the original member
ship of twenty the opposites In age
and temperament were represented.
Half a dozen men were on the- shady
side or fifty, and at least three were
still in their 'teens. Col. Dennis G.
1-fynes, a dignified and kindly. Irish
man of the old school, veteran of the
civil war, personal friend of Joseph
Med ill, and an editorial writer at
times on the Chicago Tribune, but
more often "one of the boys of the
road," ' setting type as his Inclination
and necessities required, took the pre
siding officer's chair with easy assur
ance and without any preliminary
nomination or election. The colonel
was suave and stern by turns. For
"instance: "I want the very- fullest
expression of opinion," was his open
ing announcement, but when John
Burke, fortified in advance for a stren
uous session, attempted to outline 'the
manner In which , things should be
done, he was warned that another
word from him would result in 1 his
forcible ejection, even . if the ohair-,
man was obliged to act in the dual
capacity of presiding office and sar-geant-at-arms.
But that was one of the rare in
stances. The meetings, with hardly
an exception, were orderly and par
liamentary. The first president was
Charles M. Keefer, at present super
intendent of the book and job print
ing departments of the State Journal
company, and 'the first secretary Will
L. Pickett, now the agent of the Bur
lington at Plattsmouth. One . of the
first traveling cards issued was. to
Frank D. - Reed, . former president of
the, Nebraska Press association, now
manager of the mails and morals of
the town of Shelton.
The untcn led a precarious exist
ence s for many.,, years; .its charter
and records were burned; financial
embarrassment was generally its por
tion, and some of its members at
times faltered, but. it never gave up,
and on this, its wenty-flfth anniver
sary, it is recognized a3 ona of the
strongest and most conservative labor
organizations in Lincoln.
