It is bother to be a democratic dark
Jiorao than to be In the running.
Costs loss, you know, and the chances
are better.
Now that the commercial clubs of
the territory have formed a federa-
tion is may be expected tha't Investors
will come In droves.
Tho burning question in the Choc-
tow country now Is why was twenty-
one sections of pine timber overlooked
in approving the timber there.
Yes, Archibald, it Is difficult to dis-
tinguish between a blind man and a
democratic candidate who can see a
cinch in the Oklahoma City conven-
tion.
One saving clause for |he average
Oklahoma hired girl is that the kimona
season Is here and it is difficult to dis-
tinguish her from the daughter of the
house.
A capable man willing to work for
small wages at the start can. learn
something to his advantage by apply-
ing to Paul Cooper, bank commis-
sioner.
If Hon. Jesse Dunn wants to get in
the running he would best watch Un-
cle Jimmy Maihews, who has been
courting the populltfts very assiduous-
ly thte week.
It is already being pointed out over
In tho Indian Territory that ono of the
features of the Chicago convention
will be the trumpet-toned oratory of
Hon. Pliny Soper.
The Christianizing influence of labor
unions is shown by the sinful depths
to which tho country towns have fal-
len by the barber shops opening on
Sunday morning for Inislness.
Yes, Maude,| Colonel Edgar Jones
is young, handsome, popular and an
orator. But he is running against
a barrel. You may have heard the
axiom that money converses.
An Enid man who is driven to the
court of dernier resort admits that
there is very little to be said for
the men, but he points to the fact
that they do not kiss each other.
A Guthrie young woman is going to
go east soon and stay a year in or-
der to give a Guthrie young man a
chance to forget her. Her friends are
certain she overestimates the time
required.
It Is understood that tho idea of
Hon. Dill Cross to the effect that he
Is running for the democratic nomina-
tion is Just like tho hallucination of
the passenger traiu brakeman that ho
is working.
A Guthrie woman has announced
that her club duties make it necessary
for her to have another servant to
look after the house. This is the
most severe blow to local women's
clubs yet dealt.
It Is announced without hesitancy
that, the choice of tho democratic con
vention at Oklahoma City will bo n
dark horse. He should beware of a
tall handsome man with a moustache
who will cross his path.
If there be a lake of oil tinder this
city it can be reached with a drill.
Needless to point out the fact that
our neighbors have escaped the other
lake that is sometimes told about even
yet in the old-fashioned churches.
In reply to a query by tho Topeka
Capital as to what has become of the
old fashioned girl who used to refer
to her lover as her "bow" it may bo
suggester that she Is now worrying
over the character of her daughter's
beaux.
Hon. George W. Bellamy is alleged
to have too much private business to
permit him to accept the democratic
nomination for congress which it is
conceded by his friends in Canndian
county he could have. Bullawy prob-
ably sees the finish of the nominee of
the democratic convention.
Understand that tho friends of Ma
pr Niblack have boon boorhing him
Tor tho school board nomination next
year only as a blind. He is in real
ity the favorite of the bunch of dark
horses from which the democrats arc
t-oing to choose their nominee for
congrtas when the deadlock get*
tense.
OKLAHOMA IS A
ONE-GALLUS MAN
The esteemed Enid Eaglf objects
to the caricature of "Oklahoma" as
drawn by the State Capital cartoonist
Readers of the State Capital are famil-
iar with tho figure. The man is not
handsome He is not esthetic. His
attitude of repose is strained. He is
1 not used to ropose. He wears no coat,
j and frequently is guiltless of "gal-
I luses." But he has evfdent strength
j and virility and Intelligence of the
hard headed sort.
The idea of an Oklahoma figure that
is advanced by the Eagle is a youth,
athletic, virile, bright, handsome, and
dashing. It is a good idea. Oklahoma
is like that, too, in some respects.
But the old fellow with the Reuben
air and the hard hands typifies what
Oklahoma has been made from. He
looks, not so much like the half-back
oa the college foot ball team as he
resembles the old man whose checks
keep the university athlete going. Ok-
lahoma does things The development
of Oklahoma's muscles may not be
harmonious. Ills is not the result of
gymnastic training that mn!:es
stiength beautiful and futile. It is
the cut growth of having done things.
The man whoso muscles are in lumps
and knots aiyi gnarls has given less
attention lo the muscles than to tho
work ihat developed them that way.
The fellow who accomplished things
—who pays the freight for the automo-
bile that his son rides in—may not be
handsome but he has a commercial
rating. Oklahoma is not ji parlor or-
nament. Oklahoma has developed
from the grass roots. No other sort
of man but a well fed agriculturalist
who is not worrying, but retains the
garb of the worker would fit the Ok-
lahoma situation. The world has not
yet produced a man more Independent
than the one-gallus farmer who can
lean against his fence and look across
his acres the crops of which are nec-
essities for all the rest of the world.
And his pleased expression Indicates
that there is no mortgage.
BAR ASSOCIATION OF
INDIAN TERRITORY
Next Tuesday the Indian Territory
bar association will meet in South
McAlester. Despite the fact that tho
Indian Territory lawyer has to wrestle
between tho federal statutes, Mans-
fleld'p digest of Arkansas, and opin-
ions from the assistant attorney-gen-
eral for the interior department, all
overcast by a mingled haae of the rule
in Shelley's case and the magna
charta, together with a background of
the cestui quo trust of tho Indian es-
tate for life, tho lawyers of the In-
dian Territory are good fellows, and
exceedingly able. In tho drift place,
however, they will have to attempt
conviviality over a "dry" banquet In
the second place they will feel lone-
some. For Is not their territory soon
to be Oklahoma? And are they not all
statesmen? And have they not, next
to Oklahoma, tho fiercest political
proposition in the west?
So when tho invitation of the Ok-
lahoma bar association is presented to
them that 'the two got together as ono
the logical thing for them to do will
be to accept. The executive commit-
tees of the two associations will meet
today and It Is probable that they will
recommend the union. The little mat-
tors of difference in practice should
not be allowed to stand in the way.
Why not unite and become known to
each other?
Aside from the "better facilities at
present offered by Oklahoma as
place for pulling off banquets there
are things about the situation that
would point to the logic of a consoll
dation of the two associations.
By merging at this time the coming
of statehood will have been discounted
The lawyers of the two territories will
be in better touch with each other and
bettor able to get together upon the
constitution that they will have to
draft before long. They will be bet-
ter fitted to make a code of laws to
take the place of the present patch-
work.
The union of tho bar associations
of tho two territories seems to be the
logical and essential preliminary
movement toward forming a more per-
fect union, as it were.
teachers. The frivolous girl tocher
sometimes crosses the horizon of his
vision and makes him sad. And the
man teacher who wielded a heavy rod
when frequent occasion demanded It
is an ever present memory when a
man's own boy relates some modern
method of punishment that seems to
the latter as harsh as the freely-ad-
ministered switch used to be.
The teachers of the country schools
are the saving clause of the country's
future. And while they are working
at the profession of teaching they are
fitting themselves for other things—
*or commercial pursuits and profes-
lonal successes. Some of tho women
teachers are saving up to help the
men who aro waiting for them to name
the wedding days. But whether the
teacher is teaching as a life work of
as a stepping stone to something else
the result is the same. The children
are receiving impressions of life.
They are learning the rudiments that
will later be applied in the colleges
or in the sterner later course of the
stress of life.
But most of the teachers now at-
tending Institutes are expecting to do
other things. It is doubtless the true
test of their ambition that they expect
to do other things later. Throughout
the west the leading lawyers and doc-
tors and business men who are natives
of tho west were school teachers al-
ternately with their college years.
The ravings from the small salaries
as teachers were in many Instances
the foundations for their start in life.
A Comanche county newspaper saya
that more than one hundred attend-
ants at the institute in that county
are "buxom lassies and sun-tanned
youths." And these are the right sort.
They aro making their own way. They
are building up and up to the top plac-
Spirltuelle girls and aenemlc youths
are not teaching school. It is too
strenuous for them. And In this tho
schools are probably fortunate.
THE TEACHERS OF
COUNTRY SCHOOLS
All over Oklahoma now and
throughout the Indian Territory the
teachers' institutes are being held
These annual gatherings of the educa-
tors of the public schools are mat-
tors of moment to the children whose
dally pilgrimage to tho country school
houses all over the two territories are
matters of importance to their parents.
In the meetings of teachers are as-
sembled the inspiration and hope of
the country. Few men have grown to
useful citizenship who do not cherish
memories of the days when some smil-
ing girl school teacher pointed out
the way to higher walks. In his mem
ory she is cherished as an ideal sec-
ond only to the memory of his moth-
er, Thero are also memories of other
BLACKWELL'S CLUB OF
YOUTHFUL YELLOWS
Blackwell boys have a unlquo culture
club. ItsTadiance is now in temporary
eclipse owing to a raid made upon its
headquarters in the barn and the li-
brary being destroyed by parents of
the members. The members of the
club are boys aged from eight to four-
teen years. The literature of tho club
consisted .of the dime dreadful sort.
The library shelves up under the eaves
of the hay mow, held about fifty of
these yellow volumes of the "Daro-
Devil-Dlck andMoccasin- Footed- Bill-
the-Plrate-King" sort of order. Rainy
days, and days when the teacher did
not see the members of the club in
school, and evenings when they
should have been in bed, the members
congregated In the barn club room
and read with bated breath the deeds
of daring and heard in their minds
the shleks of the foiled villian as Ma
jestlc Mary was taken from the ruth-
less hands of her abductor and restor-
ed to freedom and happiness by the
Boy Bandit of the Arroya.
The raid by the parents was spec-
tacular and destructive. Tho heroes
of red and yellow lltorature are now
eating their meals from the mantle
and look anything but the daring de-
mons of Deadwood Dyke that they
had pictured themselves. The plans of
the band were to have acquired a team
and wagon and gone overland to' Bea-
ver county where they contemplated
establishing their feudal tenure
the lonely ranges of No Man's Land.
The annals of Pirate Ifle were to
have been discounted by 'the gory story
of scouts by moonlight and the deso-
lated damsels whose rescue from the
tedium of farm life was contemplated
would have numbered enough to make
a visible hiatus at tho family break-
fast table in all of Oklahoma
While it is to be regretted that the
plans of the boys were Interfered with
—for the picturesque addition to
youthful idiocy that would have re-
sulted—It is probable that (the vigil
ance of the parents of the members of
the Dare Devil Club will result in d!
rectlng aright the literary pursuits
of their sons in the future to the end
that they may become useful ckiztns
without the hardships that would have
come to them In learning that litera-
ture of the yellow sort is not only not
accurate historically but a good deal of
a mocker.
Now that the Oklahoma bull tick
hoard has been to sec the Fort Worth
cattle dipping vats where they use
crude oil to kill ticks and found them
a success the interest in oil devel-
opment has spread even to the cattle
men of Oklahoma.
Employes of the Dawes commission
are preparing to tako the oath pre-
scribed in the last Indian appropria-
tion bill that they have no lnteres

CURRENT COMMENT

St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Missouri OS a candidate for president.
tself hM given tho ma\-
jon. He hap steadily In-
sisted that ho Is a candidate for rv-
• 1. . tion to the senuU', though he wSuld
obey the voice of thfl party if noml-
nated at St. Louis. More than half the
dt-mocratlo delegate? hav<S bt-en choBen
and not one t* for Cockrell. No 8outh-
m state has offered him support. Rut
t Is understood that Missouri's dele-
gate*. to be elected at the state conven-
tion nt Jnplin June 29. will t>e Instruct
od for him. If Senator Cockrell is not
a serious candidate, certain politicians
will enjoy the pleasure in the national
convention of swinging Missouri's votes
around for their own Individual benefit
In party manipulation. The Lamar (Mo.)
Democrat says on this point: "It Is
unite plain that whilo Senator Cookrell's
alleged candidacy has not enhanced Mis-
souri's chance to secure the party stand-
ard hearer, U. has tied her hands and
made her a passive and Impotent spec-
tator. while her friends In the demo-
cratic party are being pressed to tho
wull and slaughtered.
Senator CockreU'a name, without his
'-operation, was brought out for the
-sldeiicy by a lot of machine self-
ekers, who had made a bargain among
themselves to dispose of his seat in tho
Senate at the end of his present term,
which w^ll be March 4 next. Senator
Cockrell saw through the schemo and
refused to bite In the manner desired.
His first step was to state moBt positive-
ly that he Is a candidate for another six
years In the senate. But the fact that
the Missouri delegation will present his
name for the presidency leaves ono im-
portant question unsettled, which is this:
'"or whom will the Missouri delegation
vote when the Cockrell compliment runs
Its course? That choice, is to be left to
the machine leaders. The democrats of
the state are to. have nothing to eny
about It, an arrangement that pleases
the old gang mightily. Thus the Cock-
rell boom, which everybody knows is no
boom, will he made to cut Ice for the
old ring, with the mass of democats
left out entirely. But as nineteen-twen-
tieths of the democrats of this state are
used to that treatment, they will doubt-
less submit quietly.
Practical Laws.
St. Txnil* Republic.
Superfluous and conflicting laws never
ill be eliminated, nor will all nonessen-
tial features be extracted from necessary
laws. provisions which are su-
perfluous fn ordinary conditions bear up-
on contingencies nnd therefore are pros-
pectively essential. No law can be prac-
tically perfect or invariably Just in appli-
cation.
It would be absurd to suppose that a
comprehensive revision of statutes and
ordlnarnces would have the effect of dis-
posing of all objectionable features and
producing an altogether satisfactory code.
Customs, progress and all of the elements
compulsory from time to time; and law-
making goes on forever.
But there aro. as every citizen knows,
many laWs which do not conform to ex

ficials are expected not to literally en-
force. Such laws ure subject to improve-

To say that every law should be enforc-
ed or amended Is right. In the main; yet
tho demand cannot he invariably met.
Thero are laws whfch cannot be radically
amended without injury to localities or to
the majority and which are yet difficult
to execute rigidly In certain places or nt
certain times.
Latltudlnarlanlsm Is not a good plea
for officials, yet It is simply a matter of
fact that not every st.itute can he made

of the people, rt emphasises ■ process
of law-making Which Mayor Caster Har-
rison of Chicago aptly characterised ns
"fourflushlng"; n process by which laws

they will he violated.
Laws which cannot be enforced becauso

Provis|pns relating to contingencies are
necessary In many laws; but there must

tions and those which concern possibili-

the practicality of most laws. The pas-
sive acquiescence In nonenforcement ot

practical laws, this would suffice.

professional consumptive, or mendl-
cant, a church and hospital "rounder," is
up for trial in New York. It seems that
this fellow of many aliases has made a
good living for at least twelve years by
appeals to the selfish charity givers. He
has "operated" upon at least twenty
church organizations and societies. To
his virtues and vices he has. of course,
added larceny. From a woman who had
Just given him 120 he had the poor Judg-
ment to steal $5 more, and now his vic-
tims aro combining against him. His
scheme was to Join a church, attend its
meetings, and make acquaintances per-
sonally and through tho "year book,"
which generally gives the names and ad-
dresses of contributing members. 8oon
he had a stock in trade of reminiscences
of meetings and personal words to pass
around from one person to another, tell-
ing that ho was sent by such nnd such a
personal friend. The trouble always was
that he had consumption and must go
to a warmer climate. When one churcn
began to wake up to his plan ho flitted to
another. Only by the methods of Investi-
gation of the charity organization socie-
ties. or better, through these sociotiea
themselves, con society be ridded of these
pests, who are more numerous than is
supposed.
The "It" of the Universe.
Enid Eagle
Win Fazel, the gifted cartoonist of the
Guthrie Capital, should ring in a change
on the personal make-up of tho character
he pictures out ns Oklahoma. To look
nt one of his cartoons, a person not fa-
miliar with Oklahoma citizenship, might
set us down ns hack-woods yaps. Okla-
homa la Invariably pictured out by Fazel
as a hayseed of the "Roub" species. The
character might have represented Okla-
homa In Its early days without much
caiwo for protest but now that Okla-
homa Is conceded to be the equal of any
of the states in her energy, thrift nnd
culture, and her cltlsens as polished and
intelligent ns those of tho efete east
to all Intents and purposes—the veiy re-
verso of Pasel's "Reub" should stand for
Oklahoma. Her cltlsens,' her bulMtng nnd
her govornor and slafT have been the sub-
jects of more favorable comment at the
world's fair than have the dwellers in
any other commonwealth in the United
States. This being true It Is certainly In
poor taste for any Oklahomun to perelst
in representing us to the world ,as the
beastliest kind of beastly pld "Reubs."
Oklahomn Is too youthful, so fur as age
counts, to take r,n the look that Fazel
has seen fit to give Uncle Sam's great
family—In fact it is tho "IT"" of the uni-
verse. A pointed, pertinent personation
of Oklahoma In picture would be a heal-
thy. vigorous young American—a giant
In stature, an i thlete In action and a
Chesterfield In mind and meln. To per
feet the picture wo would place upon
his manly breast a shield hearing the
word "IT." that all might Impress the
great trinity: oklahoma manly giant,
and "IT," Indelibly upon their minds.

All day she had worked unaided,
While her husband went to reap.
And she prayed, as she rocked the cradle,
That her child might fall asleep.
And the sunbeam, full of pity,
Sped to the distant west.
Bearing a shining tear-drop
It had found on the mother's breast
And it told the tale to a moonbeam,
That it passed on Its Journey home,
Then dropped the tear In the ocean,
To bo lost in the seething foam.
And the moonbeam sped to the cottage,
Straight from the heaven above,
And carried the child on Its bosom
To a land of Infinite love.
And the sunbeam, proud nnd happy.
At the thought of a kindness done,
Looked In next day nt the window.
With a message of love from the sun,
But It found the mother weaplng,
For now she could only pray
That her child might come back from Its
long, long rest,
Back to the earth and piny.
