TUE PHYSICAL MAN.
There is much talk about the iminor
alitj of pugilism. The intense inter-
est taken in the "mill" at Carson
proves that there is much hypocrisy in
the people on this subject. In the big
cities the first to rush to the bulletin
boards were the preachers and Sunday
achool superintendents. Here in Guth-
rie the most anxious to know the lat-
est telegrams were the ex In me moral-
ists who went to the legislature two
years ago and defeated the bill which
would have brought this exhibition to
Oklahoma—and half a million people
and a million dollars with it.
A fter all, next to the intellect of
man the greatest admiration is bestow
ed upon the physica'. The most ad
mirable thing in this world is a mag-
nificently proportioned and solidly
muacled man. Humanity nowadays
neglects the physical. Appetite and
passion govern. Little exerciie is
taken; the system degenerates until
its power Is miniature and easily ex
hauated.
The greatest painting of ancient
times was one in the colicuuin at
Rome. It was a perfect picture of a
perfect physical man. It was by one
of the old masters and all who passed
thia attractive painting declared "this
waa his masterpiece." The physical
as well as the Intellectual had to be
developed in the olden times. We
read of the puny Cieser—but the his-
torian tells us that if not for the wai
campaigns an<l vigorous physical ex
crcise of this great eonquerer anil
statesman he would not have lived one
half the days recorded for him.
Who could fail to admire the speci-
mens of physier.l manhood which step
ped Into the arena at Carson; their
skins finished and polished like ma
hogany; their tremenduousendurance;
their lightning dodges and herculean
strokes? F.ven John J. Ingalli, the
intellectual athlete, grew frenzied
with interest as the great mill pro-
ceeded. It was a proof of what man
can be brought to by proper physical
exercise.
Of course these men were developed
mostly in the physical. The ideal man
is one developed both physically, ment-
ally and morally. The world now
adayB is poorly balanced in this re-
gard. One element is cultivated to
the detriment of others. I low many
men we see with great minds and frail
oodles and others with small minds
and great bodies.
The schools should give more atten-
tion to the proportions of men
women. They should teach that the
three great virtues must be equally
cultured; that tlie man who, while
cultivating his brain, does not take
proper exercise for the cultivation of
his bones and muscle, 1b next to a
suicide, and is committing au error for
himself and posterity.
The average American sympathized
K'tth Carbett because he is an eleva-
tion above the average "slugger." He
came from the profess"ons, had a good
schooling and has a fair intellect. Had
not prosperity got the better of him;
had it not enlarged the ego of his
brain to greater proportions than the
muscle of his arm; had he not run to
wine and women and grew Insane at
the huzzas of the populace, he would
have continued to be the physical idol
of this country—and he would have
held the physical champioaship against
all the world.
Corbett's immoralities depleted him.
It was not the name Corbett a . Carson
that whipped Sullivan at N'ew Orleans.
He entered the New Orleans fight with
the encouragement of a wife to whom
he had been true and who had encour-
aged his progress and stood cheering
him on against Sullivan. At Carson
he had a wife who talked like a
"slugger" of the lower qrder, and who
came from the scums—and the whole
country was thinkingof the where
abouts of the first wife he had cruelly
abaadoned.
This ia why Fit&slmmons had as
many or more partisans as Corbett at
the Carson ring side.
And yet Corbett showed remarkable
science and splendid endurance, con-

THE FIGHT ON.
Last fall no popocratic candidate
would run for an office in Oklahoma
Ithout his name under the title "Pre
Silver." That cause went down in the
avalanche of November. Now ti'
popocrat refuses to run under this
title. He has gone back to the old
hypocritical "non-partisan*" racket of
"Citizens' ticket."
The mongrels in Guthrie voted down
the title "free Bilver" for their ticket
two to one. The bimetalliats, want-
ing the nominations and getting
made a dramatic "walk out."
It was ever thus with the "reform"
elements. They think only of spoils.
The "free silver" harrangues last fall
were made to get offices on. The
l/.ens" title is used this spring for the
same purpose. Itotli ere aimed
catch gudgeons.
Hut the people are getting tired of
being Duncoed. They are sick of par-
ties without a name and without prin
ciples except appetite. They are about
ready to go back to parties not asham
ed of their ofllcial name and whiuli
have a platform, th declarations of

We understand he is a candidate, but

this legislature which the courts will
