"Nebraska Railroad Lesson
May Prove Beneficial.
The two cent passenger fare legislation, taking
TJebraska's experience for granted, may prove a
benefit instead of an injury to the railroads. The
railroads as a retaliatory measure announced
that they would take off several accommodation
trains, and retrench expenditures and improve-
ments in every way. To their great astonish-
ment, passenger travel so increased that instead
of taking off trains they had to put extras on, and
are by no means able to accommodate the public.
Even railroad magnates and managers are not
infalable in railroad business, as they have shown
on several occasions. They may find, to their
surprise, that while they did not have the courage
to reduce it themselves, to two ccnts, or even a
less rate passenger fare is just what they need to
cure not only the public's pocketbook but its con-
science. An individual is hardly ever strong
enough to correct his own bad habits, and a cor-
poration is in a like fix—it hasn't tlie courage to
sacrifice a certain set revenue in order to reap a
greater life and a more permanent prosperity.

Even in his seeking after the existence of a
soul, man is very kind. Halley and Ilarnum cir-
cus offers a lion to Dr. Duncan Macdougall t o
cut up and see il he weighs less when he dies.
Man, that has a material soul, loses no weight,
Jba "d animal that has none does. This is logic.

A Cromwell and a Rober Baron.
President Roosevelt is a "lucky dog'1. Just
as it was feared Senator Foraker and other
conservatives in the interests of the corporations
might worry him a little and unhorse him in the
estimation of the public, out comes from cover
Harriman himself and attacks him, ana the
peoples ranks instantly close around Roosevelt
again.
" A man can't be popular always. Even good
fhings pall on the mental as well as the physical
palate. Holding the political stage as Roose-
velt has been forced to do by conditions of the
country, as a result of St. George, fighting- the
corporate dragon, he is bound to wear out his
welcome somettime. Hut the attack of Harri-
raa.i cannot help prolong his popularity as the
-peoptas' champion. Roosevelt is not an invu-
nerable man, but even when wrong, the people
will believe and support him against the attacks
of such highway robbers as Harriman.
Publicity Vulgar and Otherwise.
This paper does not desire to be facitious
but the temptation of the Oklahoma Post is be-
yond resistance. The following from the Geary
Bulletin tripped the l'ost:
"If both Thaw and White moved in the high-
est of New1 York society, as claimed, the people
of this country have the privilege of sympathiz-
ing with those so debased, so immoral and so de-
•generate as to associate with the gang known as
the high society of New York.'1
On this the Post comments:
"All of which would be important if true.
■'High society' in New York, as elsewhere, is not
the outfit that get their names in print and make
themselves notorious. Real high society is sel-
idoni heard of outside of its own circle, and be-
cause cheap reporters and yellow newspapers
dub these male and female Nports as 'high socie-
ty' it does not necessarily follow that such are
■the facts.'
In view of the fact that the l'ost devotes sev-
eral columns to strictly "society" news every
(day, and two pages every Sunday, in which the
names and sometimes the pictures, of Oklahoma
City's best people appear, it is unfortunate to be
caught flagrante delicto of exposing its own so-
cial crimes.
But the l'ost does not mean what it says. It
is one ol those unavoidable clashes between in-
herited social pre judices of an editor and his lat-
ter broadening exhibited in his active life. The
Teal fact is that in modern life the best as well as
the worst people are equally exposed to the glare
of the white light of publicity. And there is no
gainsaying that if "good'' society has any cul.
lure, Or morals, that wealth and leasure should
make possible, not shared by the less fortunate,
the fact should be given publicity and become
the common property of all. Mere publicity is
no longer vulgar, if it is not vulgar publicity.
Universal publicity is universal inteligence.

Tams Bixby on the Convention*
') he "at the hotels" department in Monday's
Washington Herald has this note of interest:
"The framer; of the constitution for the new
state of Oklahoma did not fashion an ideally
perfect instrument, but it is a long way better
than no constitution; and while I am not en-
thusiastically for it, I hope it will be adopted,'•
said Hon. lams Bixby, the sole survivor of the
D. wes Indian commission, at the Raleigh.
"The constitution makers undertook to do too
much, and a good deal of their work has aroused
opposition. Though the democrats were over
wheiminglv in the majority in the convention,
there is a considerable dissatisfaction among
democratic voters. It is not absolutely cer-
tain, even, that the people will vote to ratify the
organic law in the election to be held in August
next, but the chances are that they will, for un-
less the constitution is adopted there will be
no immediate statehood. At the August elect-
ion the voters will also be called on to choose
a full state ticket from governor down, two
United Suates senators, and five members of the
house of representatives.
l'or the senate there is keen rivalry on Un-
democratic side. Some of the leading aspirants
arc Robert Lee Owen who is well known in Wash
ington, a fine and able lawyer, who would make a
most excellent senator; M. L. Turner, of Okla
homa City, a banker and business man of high re-
pute, who would be a credit to the new state;
Henry M. Furman, a lawyer of radical views,
who has been making a canvss in his own behalf
for months, and a blind man named Gore, who
is, if anything, a still fiercer radical. On the re-
publican side no ca ndidate for the senate has
come forward, and no republican has bet n men-
tioned for governor as yet, with the exception,
possibly, of Governor Frank Frantz, our preseet
territorial governor.
"Five members of congress are to be chosen,
and the democrats claim they will elect ah of
them, but 1 feel sure that the Muskogee district
will send a republican. There is also an excellent
chance that lion. Bird McGuire, now a delegate
in the house, will win in his district, as he is ex-
tremely popular and has made a good record
in Washington.''

The Meaning of Municipal Elections.
It the municipal elections are a barometer, a
reaction against the democratic party is taking
place as great as that against the republican in
the constitutional convention. There is no doubt
of the voice of rebuke in the tact that so many ov-
erwhelmingly democratic cities, that had no busi-
ness in reason to go that way, went republican.
When such cities as Chickasha, Shawnee, Tulsa,
Sapulpa and McAlester go pepublican it is due
to violence of dissatisfaction. This is the first
time McAlester has sinned that way.
It is possible that thosewho think that a South-
ern or any other single-cnmplexioned political
spirit has captured the new state, are mistaken.
1 his seems to be the outside view, such papers
as'he Washington Post, the St. Louis Post-Dis-
patch and the Literary Digest, consider it a
hopeless condtion. It is more likely that the
people having been tied down by territorial fed
eral bonds, straightened up so violently they
bent backwards, and will straighten themselves
out normally at future elections.

Porcine Foresight.
It is to 0e hoped that the Daily Leader will
have it "pushed" down its face and begin to
realize that when the city of Guthrie and I<>>; in
county go democratic it is the republicans th it
make it so. With trepidation we suggest that
its evregious arrogance and highbin ler depr I 1
tions are not conducive to holding the allegu'
ance of those persons and forces t i it helped it
into the saddle. The results of th : :ity election
are but a forerunner of the county election-
and when the fight is all over t • • I, id r wil

The Oklahoman sacrificed its telegraphic an I
editorial columns for weeks to the local cam-
paign. that was of 110 interest to its outside
readers, and they resented it. It is a matter of
speculation if the loss of outsid ■ prestig e is not
greater than local gain. Its Oklahoma city
campaign was somewhat fierce—a veritable
holocaust that for the time being swelled every-
thing, but though it won it gave the outside
world a fearful, and almost demoniac, vision of
Oklahoma Citv.

John J. Carney, chairman of the editing com-
mittee, states that no official constitution has
been given out for publicatian, and desires the
public to hold its opinion until it is given a n
opportunity to read it. This is eminently cor-
rect; but when will that opportunity be given.
College Girls Mob
Immitation Boy-Girls.
Because Glenn Mason, ex cap-
tain of the Nebraska University
j football team, and Earl Goddis
I of the Corn Iiuskers' baseball
nine, disguised themselves as
women and witnessed the annual
athletic parade of the co-eds, in
which the girls of the university,
in all sorts of funny and grotes-
que costumes performed all sorts
of funny and grotesque feats for
amusement of hundreds of ap-
j plauding women spectators, which
sights were not to be witnessed
J by a single man, there is war be-
tween the boys and girls of the
I University of Nebraska.
Mason and Geddis, the intrud-
ers are wearing broad grins, sup-
plemented by numerous bruises
and bandages, for when the stunts
I of the girls became so funny that
: Mason was compelled to laugh
1 loud,the two 'varsity athletes
| were set upon by 500 athletic
girls in funny costumes and given
! severe beatings and uncerimoni- |
ously thrown from the window in 1
the armory.
"But it was worth it,' says Ma-
son.
KVery year the university girls
have an exhibition to which wo-
men only are invited and in
: which curious, fanciful and gro-
'esque stunts are performed by
j members of the girls' athletic
Masses, the- performers being cos-
tumed in unique uniforms, "tit
only for the female eye," so the
'^irls say.
Roumanian Peasants
Rising Against King.
Roumania, it would appear, is
now facing the greatest crisis
Jin her troubled history. The re-
volt ot the peasants against land-
lordism has this spring assumed
almost the dignity of a revolution
and after several battles between
the farmers and the troops, the
dying King Charles issued a pro-
clamation last week, pledging
that Government land would be
opened to purchasers, and that
no one would be permitted to
own more than 800 acres in the
kingdom; that some objectionable
taxes would be remitted; that the
Government would organize banks
where pe asants will be permitted
to borrow money, and institute
other reforms.
The great cry ot the peasants)
at last heart failure.
The deceased leaves a large
estate, much of which was accum-
ulated by shrewd investments in

is that they cannot buy land and
the landlords impose upon thjm.
But this is only the immediate
phase of the trouble. The future
looks dark, even to those in high
offices. It is no longer denied
that King Charles and his beau-
tiful Queen Elizabeth, better
known abroad as Carmen Sylvia,
the writer, are dying of an incur-1 TijC 1/ * iip * 0 n.'rv

as they will die childless, are
Crown Prince Ferdinand and
Princess Marie. Prince Ferdi-
nand is a consumptive and can
live but a few years at the most,
and his successor will be Prince
Carol, his eldestson, now ioyears
of age. Until Prince Carol is of
age, Crown Princess Marie will
be virtual ruler of the country,
after the death of her husband,'
as ragent. Therein lies the fear
of trouble. Princess Marie, beau-
tiful, talented and and English,!
has little sympathy with the in-|
terests of her adopted land and
wants everything English; while
Roumanians, from peasants up,
have little sympathy with Eng-
land or anything English.
