Chicago theatres have re-opened

It ha* been suggested that a prob-

fact that there isn't any.

| In announcing for Mark Hanna for
president Judge D. lafe Habler added
Ione to tha list of Oklahoma republi-
cans who have declared that way.
There are now two of them. But in
[ aiieging that Oklahoma as a whole is
against Roosevelt and in favor of Han-
na, Judge Hubler has given a sad blow
to his formerly merfted reputation as
a good judge of what is going on.
It may be that Judge Hubler baa an
acquaintance or two ia Kay county,
who agree with him on the Hanna
queatlun, but he should get away from
home and feel the pulse of the people.
Oklahoma not for Roosevelt! The
thought ia amusing. Of course we are
—almost to a man. The spirit of Ok-
liuoma ia the pride of Roosevelt. The
manner of the man Is as If he lived
tn Oklahoma. If he had been here at
the opening he would have made the
run and all of hia life the experience
would have been his most cherished
memory.
Roosevelt does things. Oklahoma
does things. Oklahoma is for Roosevelt.
If Oklahoma could vote the popular
vote of Roosevelt here next fall would
be so big as to convince anybody that
even the opposition is for him.
Judge Hubler is probably Just Jok-
ing.
The flugrea on spot cotton at this
time are a distinct handicap upon the
efforts of the department of agriculture
to Induce Texas farmers to diversify.
Notice that there was a dull day in
the work of the house of representa-
tives the other day. Must be the sin-
gle statehood fellows could not break
into the session.
The announcement that a Chicago
firm has contracted for $3,000,000 worth
of whiskey has caused the society for
prevention of Intemperance to grow
faint with affright.
A New York woman Is going to walk
to San Francisco on a vegetable diet.
If she will come by Oklahoma Bbe may
have a watermelon that will weigh 100
pounds next summer.
The suggestion that the cause of the
revolution In Uruguay may be found In
a defalcation by Don Carlos Claro and
a consequent desire for vengeance on
the part of Don Maduro looks to be
rather nmoky.
The Denver Post says the Pope tho
other day blessed the pen of a newspa-
per man and he now regards the pen
as so sacred that ho will not writ

a pencil anyway.
When Cash Cade and ennls Flynn
were coming back to Oklahoma to-
gether the other day people knew that
Cade had never given out the foolish
interview regarding Flynn with which
he had been credited.
It is useless to wonder what the po
litleal row in Kansas la all about. It
probably has no more foundation than
the charges against Oklahoma officials.
Kansas has a habtt of having rows
just for fun. Kansas la much alive.
The removal of Marshal liackett of
tho central district of the Indian Ter-
ritory was the most sudden proposition
of the kind for a long time. The press
ngent of the man who filed the charg-
es was evidently not actively on duty
at the time.
The precedent established In the In-
dian Territory by removals from office
me other day has the merit of novelty.
The deputies are on the black list,
gome of them have been in office there
a long time, too, and are happy in the
confidence of the people.
An Oklahoma man who had been

agents of the war in the far past de-
cide to give the readers of American
newspapers a thrill. Then the "war

are imminent." The echo of that first

Now that the charges made by Bros-
lus of the Indian Rights Association
against federal officials in the Indian
Territory have been found without
foundation the people will begin to
wonder if there is any opportunity to

LAWTON LAND OFFICE
AND WICHITA MINES
The recent decision of the lawton
land office in refusing a patent to a
homesteader on account of showing
made by contestants that the land was
subject to the mining laws is an Im-
portant precedent. The decision of ex-
perts of the government to the effect
that no paying mines can ever be de-
veloped in the Wlchitas had lent con-
fidence to the homesteaders. It had not
suaken the faith of the miners, how-
ever, and the land office had evidence
upon which to refuse the patent to
the former.
The faith of the miners in the Wi-
chita region is worth considering. They
have Invested time and money there
in their prospects and developments,
and they arc continuing to do a great
deal of work there upon their alleged
confidence in the vaiue of the mineral
deposits.
If there be gold in the Wichita
mountains it is right that it should be
handled under the mining laws. In the
decision of the land office in official
recognition of the results of at least
one quarter section as a mining propo-
sition. This decision has placed the
mining men In a more favorable light
than they have heretofore had and
will, no doubt, lend confidence to their
efforts which have been discounted by
the adverse opinions expressed by ex-
perts and published in the press.
MAYBE MR. SULLY
WILL GUESS AGAIN
The man who -does" something
these days Is almost compelled to take
a flight into literature. Mr. Daniel
J. Sully has unquestionably "done"
something; and has followed It up
with an article in the North American
hevlew. He asks if the high price of
cotton is the result of manipulation,
and finds that "the staple has bulled
itself."
A series of short crops has done
tho business. Corners, he says, could
not be planned and executed at the
outset of a cotton year; no clique of
speculators could be found with money
and daring enough to attempt such a
i...ng. But possibly speculation, like
fancy, grows with what it feeds on.
In 1903 Mr. Sully resigned the leader-
ship of the market to Mr. Brown and
went abroad, but came back and took
over tho control once more . Evident-
ly he found there were more possibil-
ities In the situation than he had
dreamed of.
Some day we may know how much
the advance tn cotton has been due to
natural causes and how much to ma-
nipulation. Mr. Sully's facts are about
as conclusive as those advanced^ in
the late eighties by the French Copper
Syndicate, or those on which Leiter
operations of a few years ago were
baaed.
Meanwhile it is worth noting that
errors have been detected recently in
the statistics relating to cotton re-
ceipts; receipts last week were such .as
to increase the suspicion that there
maybe more cotton hid away than
Mr. Sully has allowed for.
nerve* and ■wipe out the memory of
vexations, and at night just before she
falls aaleep. she must repeat 'Peace and
rest." Saying these words over will
drive disquieting thoughts away,
smootbe out the wrinkles and insure
sweet sleep." \
It may be that success in keeping off
wrinkles shall not always come to
the St. Cecelia girl, but her plan haa
the merit of inexpenslveness. It does
not coat anything to go to the window
when one gets up in the morning and
say "serenity, serenity, serenity" Of
course, says a Chicago paper, it will
have to be admitted that the words are
easy and that the St. Cecelia girl might
help along in the serenity business by
hurrying down to the kitchen after
she has finished her performance at the
window, and getting breakfast, instead
of leaving that duty to mamma. If
cook has not left unceremoniously,
the St. Cecelia girl might help In
some other way than by getting break-
fast. Thpre are things to be picked up
and perhaps younger brothers and sis-
ters to be washed a|d dressed. Oh,
there Is a big, big place In the world
for the St. Cecelia girl.
By learning to make her own clothes
or, at least, some of the plainer ones
—she may add greatly to papa's seren-
ity, and by consenting to listen to
parental advice concerning her beau,
she may still further help along the
cause that is dear to her heart.
The SL Cecelia girl has made a good
start; her ideal is a high one; may
she achieve 1t gloriously and cling
to It bravely, even after she succeeds
in getting him.
A pertinent but remotely answerable
question from the St. Ix>uls Globe-
Democrat; When will the stick be-
gin to whip the dog, the dog begin to
worry tho cat, the eat begin to bite

etc.? ThjLtls to say when will Russia
and Japan get to business and Colom-
fcla Invade Panama?

FOR THE GIRLS
There is a great deal of demand In
the world for the St. Cecelia girl. She

The St. Cecelia girl is an advocate of
sunshine. It is her desire to fceep from
becoming wrinkled, and she believes
she may do this b'y cultivating sereni-
ty of mind. The Atchison Qlobe gives
the following explanation of her creed:
"When she gets up in the morning
she steps to a window and looks out,
and says: 'Serenity! serenity! ceren-

The train had b«en on time. Everything
was all right. Suddenly the word came

pleasure. and the train waa stopped for

The Germans in Southwest Africa.
Chicago Record-Herald.
Germany ia having a hard time with
the natives under Its rule In the prov-
ince of Southwest Africa. Okahandja,
which Ilea about thirty miles north of
Windhoek, the seat of government, which
has been in a state siege for several
weeka, and the latest report is that Kaf-
firs and Herreroa have Joined forces for
the attack and that the town Is hard
pressed. In many other parts of the
colony there have been small massacres,
while several of the native chieftains
who had been armed and employed by
Germany have deserted and Joined in
the uprising.
The Germans of course will not aban-
don the provloce, no matter how cost-
ly the war laay be, hut they certainly
have much reaaon for asking them-
selves whether their efforts are worth
their while. The colony extends along
the west coast of Africa for almost a
thousand miles, and its area Is about
325.000 square miles, but so barren and
desert-,is it that the total native popula-
tion is estibated at not more than 200,-
000. The European population on Junu-
ary 1, 190L', waa only 4,874, of whom
5&5 were Germans. About a third of
theso were soldiers.
Southwest Africa Is perhaps the poor-
est of the German colonies, but the show-
ing for the whole of them Is not much
better. A recent official report on them
—with the exception of Kiao-Chau they
all lie in Africa or in the south sea.i
puts their total area at l,0:i4,-62 square
miles, which la equal to five times the
area of Germany Itself. In all thia vast
territory there live but 6,126 Germans
and but 2,663 subjects of foreign nations,
a total of 7,788 whites among an indig-
enous population estimated at 13,600,000.
Of the Germans 1,667 are ofUcluls or sol-
diers, 637 are merchants or tnfcjiers, 779
artisans and laborers. 1,010 planters and
cultivators.
The total cost of these colonies to the
German taxpayer since 1884 has boen
figured at about $75,000,000. The total
value of the combined export and Import
trade between Germany and the colonies
were mainly beer, wine and fodo for the
white population. The imports, consist-
nig mainly of copra, palm seeds, palm
oil, cocoanut oil, India rubber and cocoa
beans, amounted to only 11,760,000 In
1892, or half the- value of the goods sent
to the colonies.
Planting Trees.
St. Louis Republic.
Public Interest in tree planting In
creases as a result of the missionary
work done by civic organizations. In-
formation supplied for taking care of
and preserving trees has shown to house-
holders and property-owners how they
may invest little money in this way and
derive lasting benefits of several kinds.
It la unnecessary to illustrate these
benefits. Every one who haa seen a grove
or a tree, or a tree-girt avenue, appreci-
ates the advantages which are obtainable
by adding thn#hcauties of nature to the
artificial charms of the city. A city with-
out trees is dull and uninviting.
M. G. A. Parker, superintendent of
Keney Park, Hartford, goes farther In
condemning treeless cities. "A city, or
a street of a city," he says, "whese soil
condition Is such that a tree cannot exist
Is unfit for habitation; and a street,
that a tree will not grow, and where the
air In the street Is too impure for ireo
life, and where th<* sunlight, or the want
of sunlight, and the heat are such that
the tries do not flourish. Is unfit for
human habitation and la debilitating to
everyone who uses It."

proved and whose residents would he

USE OF MACHINES
IN COAL MINING
Characteristic of the age Is the
growing use of mine machines in the
bituminous coal mines of the Unitetd
States. The report of Mr. Edward W.
Parker on the production of coal In
1902, which forms part of the annual
volume of mineral resuorces pub-
lished by the United States geological
survey, shows that. 5,418 machines
were employed in 1902 as against 2,622
in 1898.
In a few of the states there was a
decided Increase In the number of
machines used, but with the excep-
tion of Wyoming these were states In
which comparatively little develop-
ment In the mechanical production of
coal has been made. All of the states
where the use of machines had
exerted any significant effect upon
the production prior to 1902 showed
substantial Increase In that year.
Ohio claims the largest propor-
tionate production by the use of
machines, more than half the product
of that state in 1902 having boen
machine mined. Ohio also stands
second In the total of machine-mined
coal, Pennsylvania being first. Illi-
nois ranks third In the amount of coal
produced by machines, West Virginia
fourth, Kentucky, fifth and Indiana
sixth. It will be noted that these six
states comprise the well known
"competitive"' coal fields. In 1902 they
produced 75 per cent of the total out-
put of bituminous coal in tho United
States, and 94 per cent of the total
tonnage of machine-mined coal.
The total machine-mined product re-
ported for 1902 was 69,611,582 short
tons, an increase, as compared with
57.843,335 short tons in 1901, of 11,768,-
247 short tons or 20 per cent. As tho
total production of bituminous coal
in the United States in 1902 was 15 per
cent larger than in 1901 it will be seen
that, on the whole, the production by
the use of machines has more than
kept pace with the Increased output.
In fact the percentage of the machine-
mined product to the total output has
increased from 25.68 in 1901, to 26.09 in
1902.
The statistics for 1903 as contained
in the survey's report have all been
obtained from the reports made to
the geological survey by tho coal
mine operators It Is possible that
the falling ofT in machine production
in some states has been due to the
failure of operators to reply to this
particular Inqujfry on the survey
schedules. Where no machines have
been reported, it has been considered
that none was In use. although the
same mines may have" reported the
use of machines in 1901.
