Interests are in safe bands.
Secretary Hitchcock may not think
Oklahoma weather pleasant but the
facts are that he has not seen samples
of all she has in *trwe.

Russia has now asked China to state

mighty good. The new libel law is in
force. The sensational fellows are all
packing their grips preparatory to leav-
ing for better fields.
Secretary Hitchcock, is partic ularly
pleasing to the people of Guthrie and
1 Ok!ahomaus generally. They have
I learned to respec t end admire him dur-
! ing the ;ime be has presided over fhe
( affairs of the interior department and
wiah to do everything in their power
to msks him feel be is truly welcome
in a territory which has had much to
do with him in a business way.
For several year?, Secretary Hitch-
cock has been the man through whom
Oklahoma nas reached the general gov-
ernment and it is a pleasure to Okla-
homans to state, as it must be a pleas-
ure to ih© se-*retary to know, that in
his relation with the affairs of the ter-
ritory, he has given satisfaction to all
concerned, and that the business like
manner in which he has conducted af-
fairs has won for him the everlasting
• ommendation of all who believe the
government to be a big business ma-
chin© which should be run on business
Unes.
Secretary Hitchcock was a business
man, and a successful one, before he
became prominent as a politician, and
it may be truthfully said that he owes
the greatest measure of his success in
public affairs to the fact that no mat-
ter what he undertakes, it is carried
forward with dispatch and in a busi-
ness manner.
In this visit to Oklahoma. Secretary
Hitchcock gives emphasis to the fact
that he is bere for business, and not
for pleasure and It is gratifying to Ok-
lahomans to know that the business
head of the general government, so
far as the affairs of the territory are
concerned, is here for business pur-
l-oses and wil carry away with him
knowledge of conditions and needs
which will be of service both to him
and Oklahoma
In her usual open handed and gen-
uinely hearty way. Oklahoma extends
greeting to Secretary Hitchcock. She
wishes ihim to know and feel that the
manner in which he has discharged
Oklahoma business while secretary of
the interior has made him admired by
the citizens who had important inter-
ests In that business. Guthrie is glad
to entertain him and hopes earnestly
that he may thoroughly enjoy himself
in Oklahoma's Capitol City, even
though he be bent more on business
than on pleasure.
The weather bureau may have faith
In its announcement that it will be
lair today but the people have acquir-
ed the Missouri habit, so far as the
weather is concerned.
Some fellows may think Guthrie is
a little slow about raising the railroad
bonua but it will not be said that she
doesn't hold all the records when it
comes to getting railroads.
One marked distinction between the
labor situation at present end ten
years ago is that where workmen are
now striking for more wages they were
then striking out to find a place where
they could get wages at all.
Senator Frank Farris, who is under
Indictment in Missouri for bribery, has
gone to Mexico. He will hardly be
missed. Boodlers are still so plentiful
in Missouri that the removal of one or
two is not noticeable.
Mr. Cleveland la mistaken if be
thinks the people object when be talks
politics. It is when be plays states-
man and tries his childish theories on
the country's Interest* that the people
kick.
When Guthrie goes after things in
earnest she gets them, no matter what
the effort required, and she is going to
raise th© new railroad bonus because
the citizens are now in earnest about
It. It Is requiring a mighty big effort
though.
Some fellows keep their eyes contin-
ually on their neighbors with the Idea
of finding fault with every short com-
ing, either fancied or real. These fel-
Jows never help to build big cities or
mak© small ones pleasant places to
live, however.
It Is comforting to the fellows who
liad concluded that Iowa was the dom-
inant state in republican councils to
learn that, when simmered down, the
"Iowa idea' is an endorsement of the
republican platform of 1896, bo far
as the tariff is concerned.
PUSHING FOR
GOOD ROADS
The report that steel bridges, bought
by the county commissioners for use
in various parts of the county, are lying
around in th© weeds in Guthrie is on a
par with other lies put out against the
board of county commissioners by ir-
responsible politicians. Every bridge
bought and delivered has gone to its
destination and is being put up on sub-
stantial stone abuttments. But one
of the bridges purchased by the com-
missioners remains in Guthrie, the one
purchased for the Riverside Park. It
has not town erected because the city
road and bridge fund is at present in-
sufficient to erect the abutments.
Of the forty-two bridges nought by
the commissioners in December, but
thirteen have been received from the
factory and not a pound of bridge ma-
terial save that for the Riverside Park
bridge, now remains in Guthrie.
All have been sent out to the town-
ships at county expense and the town-
ships have but to erect abutments to
secure immediate use of the bridges,
as they are put up at county expense.
When tbo remainder of the forty-
two bridges purchased in December ar-
woman in Ixjg&n county knows it.
The high school board is proceeding
without advice from the commission-
ers and are evidently giving all parties
ion<-erned ample opportunity to dem-
onstrate the advantage that any parti-
cular local ion may have over others
that are suggested. Th© location of
the building is receiving the oareful
consideration of the members of the
board, which is not partisan as the
leader wished to indicate, and there
i3 absolutely no reason to believe that
any outside influences are interfering
with them in the performance of their
duty. The board has asked representa-
tives of the different sections of the
city desirous of securing the high
school building to show what they can
do toward a donation of ground for
high school purposes and until all have
opportunity to answer definitely, the
matter will not be settled.
In consequence of these facts, the
Leader's statement is not only an un-
warranted reflection on Mr. Jackson
but it is virtually an insinuation that
the members of the high school board
are susceptible to improper outside in-
fluence. However it will Injur© nei-
ther Mr. Jackson or the members of
the school board as the course of the
evening paper during the past few
months has effectually persuaded sen-
sible people that Its onslaughts on pub-
lic servants are always prompted by
their failure to regard the Leader's
wishes as the only thing to be consult-
ed in the conduct of public business,
and in consequence a roast at the hand3
of the evening paper is now generally
considered a certificate of good charac-
ter for th© individual roasted.
FRENCH CHANGE
OF HEART
A striking indication of the changa
of heart which France has recently ex-
perienced in regard to England may be
found in a leading article on the Eng-
lish occupation of Egypt which appear-
ed the other day in the Paris Slecle.
The writer remarks that France is
entitled to regret that the English had
been alone in Egypt for twenty years,
but had no right to reproach them for
it. It was only Just to recognize that
their administrative work has been
good and beneficial, and this is Eng-
land's best justification before the civ-
ilized world. Referring to the latest
report of Lord Cromer and Lord Mil-
ner's book 'England In Egypt,' the ar-
ticle contrasts the present satisfactory
condition of Egypt with the state of
the country on the morrow of the re-
volt of Arabi Pasha. The English, It
says, face to face with two methods of
procedure, chose the better course of
building up a sound internal govern
ment, and to them is due the growing
prosperity of Egypt. After speaking
of th© financial reforms which havi
been effected, the article proceeds thus:
'Today Egy pt possess an army she Is
mistress of the Nile nearly up to the
headwaters, she Is reconstituted as a
nation, doubtless not strong enough to
govern herself, but nevertheless a na-
tion. Such is the work that the Brit-
ish administration has accomplished
in the space of twenty year?. Certain-
ly Lord Mllner and Lord Cromer have
worked for their own country, for Eng-
land. but they have worked at the same
time for Egypt, the interests of the
one being bound up with the other,
which interests are also those of civ-
ilization. With every reserve as to
the conditions in which the English
occupation came about, it would be
unjust not to recognize how profitable
it has been in relatively short period

LORD ROBERT'S VISIT.
Washington Tim. -
There is a prospect that Lord Roberts
win visit this < ountry with the Honorable
Artillery company, which is coming to
'■ '■'tun In the i.e..r future. Perhaps 1. -ne
' King Edward's subjects would be likely
t ' receive a warmer wujcom* than this
famous fighting man. Tne American has
be«>n accuaad (if dearly loving a lord, but
in this cas® kirdshlp has nothing to do
w ith it. The soldierly qualities of oLrd
Roaberts are responsible for all admira-
tion.
And yet it is not aiways the essentially
military qualities of th« soldier which
i' immands popular admiration I.nnl
Kitchener, for vxample. would probably
attract as much att> ntion In this country
a* Lord Roberts, hut It la to be doubted
whether the att nth n would 1 • exactly in
the nature of enthusiasm Grant wan a
great soldier. but It was as a man and
not as a soldier that he won the affection
and admiration of his country.
The purely military talent does not make
m 1. worshipped There must b* persona!
magnetism of «om« sort or other. In
other words, th-- soldier must be able to
trust his chief r.ot only as a general, but
as a man. There seems no doubt that
Napoleon, relentless and heartless as his
enemies depict him. had yet this irresist-
ible personal magnetism. He was nut all
ambition, or his soldiers would not have
loved him.
Lord Robert.". In fact. Is popular in this
country, ns he Is In England, because
along with his great executive ability, he
hns .1 straightforward, manly, lovable na-
tura. because h< is never too much the
general to be human, because, in abort(
ne i- in the good old words nf the service
"an officer and a gentleman.'' There is
not much doubt that If he makes a visit
t . tlo.- <-<>untr> American ciuwdg will
cheer themselves hoarse for him, and
probably hall him as. "Bobs."
