A ROOSEVELT REFORM.

time will do away with the pedantic
name which has always grated on the
ecrs. The 'executive mansion" has
been tinned and the "White House"
I has officially taken its place. For
Jfars all the presidential stationery
was dated from the "Kxecutive Man
sion, ' invitations were to the "Execu-
tive Mansion." congress appropriated
for the "Kxecutive Mansion," and the
bombastic and undemocratic name
was repeated in every official paper on
the aubject.

has been to change all this. The of

At The Cost of Humiliation And
Probably Some Dollars. The
Pops Reunite.
This morning at 10 o'clock w as en
acted a scene in the court house that
caused tears—great monstrous, cruci
dile tears-tears which told of tin
agony of the heart tears in which was
reflected conviction, punishment and
political strife, to be slud.
We all. wept copiously, joyously and
feelingly through the dewy mist
which enveloped our organs of sight
we could see union secured, harmony
restored and Populism and Democracy
once more in loving proximity. Six
months ago the "atmosphere was high-
ly charged.'' Suspicions ran rife and
factions would grapple with factions.
There was an impending calamity
hanging over us. Our city attorney
had been a little "over zealous" and
had resorted to subornation of per-
jury so people and the court said, lie
was held under $60(10 bond to await
the action of the grand iury. He was
a young man and was the chosen one
of the Demo-Pop organization.
Kxc it men tran high. Political heads
were in danger. Cither heads were
pounded w hi n the eity attorney and
othar parties met on the street.
One grand flourish of oratory today,
then another and the prodigal w as re-
turned to the fold. Peace rcinued su-
preme. Content and appreciation for
alorous services gave expression in
'cars. The thing was settled—but
how? The stain was left—but where?
Some one lied—but who? This thing
will be remembered—when? This
thing is sett led for a time but w hen
will llie reaction come? If n|| the cor-
ruption that waa employed in the
smoothing over of this political and
legal scandal was made public the pub-
lic would demand punishment. Over
jealously is commendable. The manu-
facturing of evidence is Just as honor-
able as the manufacturing of thresh-
ing machines. Of course no one is
guilty. We knew it all the time.
Poor Kelly! Where is he? He is a
despicable creature. Det us draw the
curtain and forget it all. Nit! I
THE? ARE FOR BURFORD.
Lincoln County Bar Signs Petition
for Chief Justice.
Guthrie, Oct. 6.—"A petition asking
for the reappointment of Hon. John
H. Burford to the position of chief jus-
tice of the Oklahoma supreme Court
was this week signed by every member
of the Lincoln county bar," says the
Chandler Tribune. "This is as it
should be. Judge Burford has given
satisfaction and has the good will of
the people of every county in which lie
has held court. The editor of this pa-
per was present at the first meeting of
the territorial supreme court ever held
in Oklahoma, and has been familiar
ith the work of all of the judges of
this court, which the territory has
ever had and without flattery can safe-
ly say that Judge Burford is the best
one we overbad. His thorough educa-
tion in the law and his natural ability
eminently fit him for the position he
fills.
But above all, he is ever fair and
impartial in the trial of a case. The
territory and the defendant in crimi-
nal cases, as well as both parties to
ivil cases, are each treated alike, and
no one Ins ever yet complained that
he did not get the fairest trial possible
when Judge Burford was presiding If
lie has made errors they have been
made in his desire that no one's rights
should in any wav be abridged, and
ill I who have had business of any kind
in his cour recognize and fully flp-
predate this quality.
"Di addition to being a good and
just judge his personal life is of that
character as to command the respect
of all. His name hag never been con-
nected with any matter or transaction
which would in the least cast suspicion
against the morality or integrity of hig
private life. He is one 0f ttje few w)lo
are above reproach.

GOEBEL CASES AGAIN.
Second Trial of Caleb Powers is to
Begin at Georgetown, Ky.,
Tomorrow.
Georgetown, Ky., Oct. 6 -The court
of appeals having granted ex-Secretary
Of State Caleb Powers and James How-
ard new trials, the case of the former
will be called hero next Tuesday
Powers has been removed from Frank
fort to the jail here. Powers was con
victed over a year ago as accessory .
the murder of William Goebel in Jan-
uary, 1900, and sentenced to life Im-
prisonment. Howard was later con-
victed of the deed and sentenced to be
hanged. Over sixty witnesses have
been summoned, and it is expected
that this trial will be conducted on
lines of marked difference from that of
last year. It is generally believed that
the sides have secured much new evi-
dence.
