Roost Tulsa. Keep boosting. Then
boost some more. Then boost again.
Then keep on boosting Boost, boost,
boost. Boost the boosters and knock
the knockers. That's the way to build
a town. Anil that's the only way to
build a town which stays built.
Because a lot of people happened to
vote the Republican national ticket in
Tulsa for the iirst time Is no reason
why sente people should put on airs
and talk about Tulsa being a Repub-
lican town. Walt till the municipal
•lection comes around and then you
will see what sort of a town Tulsa Is
politically.
The fact that the Republicans elect-
ed a nigger to the legislature Is con-
clusive evidence of the claims that the
Republican party in this state Is strict-
ly a while man's party now. Could
hypocrisy go further than that. The
pitly Is that the nigger Is liable to have
the Jim Crow law pulled on him and
lie will have to Hock by himself at
Guthrie Anyway, however, he will
vote for Frisco Dennis Flynn for the

from the eclipse which haa obscured
It to a large degree during the closing
weeks of the national political cam-
paign With the decisive verdict of
the people in favor of William II. Taft,
politics passes to a relatively subor-
dinate place and the coming week pre-
sents many features of variety and In-
terest.
Of chief Interest In the personal af-
fairs of thousands of families through-
out the rountry this week will be the
reopening on full time of mills and
factories in various parts of the country
announced since the election, many of
which had been closed down or run-
ning on short time for months. Front

William II. Taft, already spoken of
um “President-Elect.” although the
electors ch"sen are yet far from having
fulfilled thir function, w ill remain most
of this week at Hot Springs, Va.
Mr. Taft is expected in Now York on
Saturday, to be the central figure at
the dedication of the monument erect-
ed in Brookyln to the memory of the
"prisonshlp martyrs.” The monument,
which la visible from the bridges and
harbor, was designed by the late Stan-
ford W hite, and consists of a tnagni-
flclent Doric column of granite about
270 feet in height, aproached by u
stately (light of several hundred steps,
the whole being crowned by a tripod
holding an electrically lighted globe
whose beams wil be visible for miles
Under the monument are burled the
bones of the revolutionary patriots who
died of starvation and disease in the
British prison hulks in the harbor.
Echoes of the national political corn-
pa Ign undoubtedly will he heard at
Denver this week, in the national enn-
ventlon of the American Federation of
Labor. The espousal by President
Samuel (Jumper* of Mr. Bryan's cause
Is disapproved by many Influential
members of the Federation, and the
matter certainly will he discussed to
some extent.
Of special Interest in connection with
the convention of the Federation Is tin-
fact that the contempt case against
Mr. Oompers arising out of the now
famous Injunction suit of the Bucks
Stove ami Hang*- Company nf St. Louis
is expected to come up at Washington
this week.

trust and railroad prosecutions an- on
