the state and local offices.
From that time on, it was hard to
tell from th appearance of a primary
or a convention whether it waa demo-
cratic or popullstlc. The same men
took part In each and why shouldn't
they? They voted the same ticket. The

The postmaster of Newport, Neb.,
thus advertises ln the Newport Repub-
lican: "Tjvo gents' umbrellas were left

Guthrie had to wait a long while for
a bridge across the unsightly gulch
the Choctaw railroad dug along Vine
street, but It is nearly finished now and
the people have slight reason to believe
that some time in the dim and undeter-
mined future, the gulch may be given
such attention as its present stench
and ugliness demands.
"Except the anarchists, all Europ-
eans who come to this country are wel-

The long struggle for reclamation of
arid lands is about to culminate in
something visible to the naked'eye. The
government engineers are ndV in Den-

completion and transmission to Wash-

As a result, the party now faces a

The two elemeuta of democracy are
far apart as are old line democracy
and .republicanism and neither side hes-
itates in declaring that it will not sup-
port a candidate chosen from the other
element.
To the populist party, fusion brought
ruin, in those western states where
It was once the domlpant power, re-
publicanism is again triumphant and
the one time populists scattered to the
four winds of the political heaven.
Many are democrats of the Bryan
stamp, some are socialists, while most
have gone back to their old republican
homes, disgusted with whst was really
unprincipled political wandering.
Neither democracy or populism pro-
fited from the unholy alliance and both
are today paying the penalty for allow-
ing greed of place to influence them to
sacrifice the principles upon which they
were founded and should have gone,
either up or down.
BOURKE COCKRAN
AND IRELAND
The suggestion that Dourke Cockrau
may transfer his residence to Ireland
and become a member of the British
parliament has not stirred the public
profoundly on either side of the water.
Apparently the people in neither coun-
try care where Mr. Cockran lives, or
what he may be about. And. when we
come to think about it, why should
they care?

AN INTERESTING
EUROPEAN ARTICLE
An article, signed "Interveniens" and
vldently charged with much more
than Common purpose and significance,
has just been published simultaneously
in two Swedish, one Danish and one
Norwegian newspaper. The writer of
ontends that Russia's action in Fin-
land constitutes a direct threat to
Scandinavian independence. The crush-
ing Finland, he declares, is only a step-
ping stone for reaching the ultimate
goal of Russian policy—namely, free
access to the Atlantic. This end. how-
ever, will never be attained, he adds, as
long ad Norway and Sweden remain
strongly united. Referring to a poem
written by Bjoernstjerne BJoernson as
a pathetic appeal on behalf of Finland,
the article expresses the hope that it
ill rouse the conscience of the peoples
of Europe, and, like a thunderstorm,
purify the atmosphere of dull Indiffer-
ence and cold egotism, which stifles the
natural sentiment of sympathy with
the oppressed. In support of this ap-
peal the writer then refers to the Kis-
henev massacres, which he avers were
the outoomfe of a deliberate plot.
Among other incidents, he mentions
the circulation in Klshenev of a circu-
lar, printed ait the Holy Synod office,
relating how the Jews had taken pos-
session of a crucifix belonging to
Christian family, and outraged It by
driving nails Into the hands and feet,
and how blood has Issued miraculous-
ly from the holes made ln the nails.
The publication of such a tale, says
the article, could have but one pur-
pose. A sllmlar publication, from the
eame source, is described ln the morn-
ing's cables.

The eleventh annual convention of the
United States la-ague of Building and

a flourishing enterprise. What body of
men or what organization has ever done

movement? It would be a difficult ques-
tion to answer. To pralae the building

thrift, to praise home building and the

aaeets of $110,951,267 The total assets
of associations in the United Statea are

"GRATUITOUS AND INFAMOUS
FALSEHOODS."
Washington Post.
It Happened not long ago that the com-
mercial metropolis ol the United States,
the city which comes very nt ur being the
money center of the world, waa pro-
foundly atlrred throughout all Its parts
and pare tin, both urban and rural, by
two events that occurred almost simul-
taneously. One was the conviction uf
Al Adamf. the notorious policy gambler,
followed by his commitment to a peni-
tentiary for a term ot years—a fate richly
deserved, and which he should have met
al an earlier period of his felonious ca-
rser. The other was ths dedication of the
magnificent new home of the stock ex-
change. Those two happenings vied with
each other for space ln the New York
newspapers, and the resources of all the
dictionaries were heavily taxed for ad-
jectives In both cases. The "Policy King"
was followed to prison by a roar of male-
dictions. while the advent of the Wall
street palace waa greeted with a deluge
of benedictions. *
The Post noted this Interesting coin-
cidence and rommented thereon as the
occasion seemed to demand, indorsing
the maledictory output for the solitary
gambler, but suggesting that, in many a
single hour of Its activities, the stock
exchange had wrecked more homes
caused more suffering and crime and pov-
erty than a hundred Al Adamses could
do In a hundred years. The Post, how-
ever. did not neglect to state one other
difference between the business of the
stock exchange and that of the policy
gambler. The greater Institution and in-
comparably greater devastation of for-
tur.es. homo*, hopvs. and charac ter, we
said, accomplished its work under cover
of the law. while the one lone gambler
was a notorious violator of law.
W) recall this suggestive episode In the
life of the metropolis In order to put on
file, in connection with It. an unexpected
confirmation of the Justice of The Post';
comments on the greatest legalised gam
bllng establishment on earth. Perhani
the Inst paper from which one would
naturaly expect an assault on Wall
street's or the stock exchange's morale
Is the New York Bun, but that paper. In
its leading fdltorial of last Sunday, re-
ferring to the general prosperity of the
country during the panicky times in the-
exchange, frankly asserts that to e
plain this condition. Wall street has n
hesitated to Invent the most dlsreputat
and malignant hypotheses, and to gl
currency to gratuitous and Infamous
falsehoods. All this Is. perhap*-. best
mended In Wall street s own way, which
is sllerre and oblivion."
Accepting thst at its face value, one Is
lfr««tstlhly moved to Inqnire wherein
legalized gambling morally superior ln
Its methods to gambling that is under the
ban of the law? To the average mind
the chief difference between these two
products of human greed Is merely a mat
ter of slxe, one looming up like Mount

Lawton Enterprise: in the possession
of a prominent doctor of the city Is a
curio which was brought in from the
country last Saturday. It Is a mummy as
well preserved as any that was ever
found In the pyramids of Egypt. The
dried body is that of a Comanche Indian
boy who could not have been more than
ten years old. His dress Is of leather
and so elaborate that It seems he must
have been the son of some chlcf. The
red paint still shows upon the leather-like
face; hair that Is bleached with a long
rlod o: entombment covers the small
ad and nails show plainly upon the
Shrunken fingers. The mummy nits In
an upright position, and the small feet,
which are crossed, are clad In green moc-
aalns. When the body was dlMntered It
was wrapped In three rich Navajo blan-
kets worth from twenty to sixty dollars
i. In the grave a small grop was
also found. The receptlcle was of ancient
pattern and contained a handful of old
Mexican money and a number of other
things. There was a bag of paint for
the face, some needles. two spools of
thread, a bunch of buckskin thongs, a
marble and some shells, a bear claw for
luck and several pieces of black root to
chew In case the little boy should be-

new buckles as the case might be.
