The republican Issue shows the peo-
ple who are for their interests.
Mr. Mathews Is running on a plat-
form which he has not yet endorsed.
Even at thla time It la hard to look
with composure upon the Bpot where
Jesse J. Dunn fell.
By the way, what was the vote of the
Paggurt school land bill when it wbb
defeated in the senate two years ago?
There is a ti 11 room for a few more
patriots to announce for the democratic
nomination for county clerk of Logan
county.
It is three months until election. But
that does not alter the fact that the
people are ready now to vote for Mc-
Uuire and statehood.
And now the country is shuddering
lest the letter of acceptance by Judge
Parker disprove the announcement that
he is a man of few words.
Having given up all hopes of being
able to secure a prohibition conven-
tion it is now announced that New
York is going to give a liquor show.
Announcement that Taggart is a
good mixer leads to the conclusion
that he will have a task to his taste
in blending the "reunited democracy."
There is a girl In Guthrie who an-
nounced a few years ago that she
would not marry a man to reform him.
Now it Is alleged she Is going to marry
ft man to cook for him.
Understand the cotton bolls are op-
ening down in the new country. This
is taken as a sign that there will be
plenty doing about November 8 besides
the casting of ballots.
There Is a designing niM in Guthrie
who tells his wife she is pretty Just
(when she has on an old hat or a pas-
se dress. This is announced In the
■women's club meetings.
When Mr. Mathews gets through tel-
ling the people how much he appre-
ciates the populists as citizens and
politicians he will unwind a few verses
about how he wants the school lands
bandied.
UATTLEGROUND OF
THE CAMPAIGN
To those Oklahomans who can forget
for the time being the Immortal prop-
osition of statehood the nu^tljn
oa, Will Indiana be the battle ground
of the preaent campaign? The selec-
tion of Mr. Thoinaa Taggart for man-
ager of the democratic campaign indi-
cates that Indiana will emerge from
hthe literary atmosphere for long
! enough to become the center of the
stage in the coming battle. Mr. Tag-
gart Is such a man as will doubtless
attempt the impossible. And besides
all the other things Indiana is needed
In this event.
It will be seen that If Maryland and
New York and the states that naturally
go with New York in a presidential
contest, New Jersey, Connecticut and
West Virginia, should be carried by
Judge Parker he will have, counting
the 151 votes of the solid south, 224
votes In the electoral college, which is
Just ID votes short of the number that
Is necessary to select. Indiana has
15 votes. The conclusion Is obvious.
The only argument against making
tho battleground in Indiana is from
those democrats who see that In tak-
ing the shrewd and resourceful cam-
paign manager, Thomas Taggart out
of Indiana the solid republican states
might bo turned into the democratic
column. But that would preclude the
Idea of Indiana going democratic.
It is not likely that Mr. Taggart will
neglect Indiana, the state In which he
has made his reputation as an adroit
campaign manager. It Is interesting
to consider the possibilities of Indiana
becoming the pivotal state in the na-
tional contest.
prospect for Oklahutna business good
the coming fall.
The farmers are almost sure of in-
creaoed values for their products. This
with the increased yields and increas-
ed acreage will make the Oklahoma sit-
uation this fall the best In the coun-
try.
No general depression affects the
center of unusual productiveness when
there Is a demand for the products.
That Is one reason for the good out-
look In Oklahoma.
All over the southern part of Okla-
homa now the railways are preparing
to handle the greatest cotton crop in
their history in that section. All over
the corn belt of the territory the farm-
ers are preparing to care for and feed
or place on the markwt the largest
crop of corn they have ever made.
And In this condition Is the guaranty
that the building of towns and cities
will resume In the fall with a vigor
that wIN bring forgetfulness of the
short dull season when there was a
lull In the activities that have for
years marked Oklahoma as the most
rapidly progressing section of the
country.
A MINISTER ON
THE SOCIAL UPLIFT
In an address to a crowd of girls at
Ocean Grove, New Jersey, the other
day, Evangelist Charles H. Yatman
took as his subject the danger of fall-
ing In love through gratitude.
Tho address Is alleged to have been
masterly In Its management of an in-
tricate subject The noble words that
carried a message to the sweat young
things In his audience have been quot-
ed as follows:
Don't imagine that you owe it
to the young men who buy ice
cream for you to protniBe to be-
come their wives. You girls are
really the givers of gifts to ufc
men, because your condescension in
sitting with a young man In an
Ice cream parlor more than repays
him for the money he has spent
for the Ice creum you eut. The
girls 1 see before me are worth
more than the bee cream output of
America for un entire year.
And In the explosion of the popu-
lar belief that the acceptance of a
stick of chewing gum from a chance
acquaintance imported willingness to
become his la one of the great lights
of modern social emancipation. Let
no fair maiden In the future when she
sits at the soda fountain with a youth
whom she has Just met Imagine that
In accepting the ten cents worth of |
provisions for which he pays harbor
the thought that she thereby impliedly
becomca a willing underwriter of his
protestations of undying affection.
Society has left the old and narrow
way. It Is oven Imaginable that with
the uplift of the Jury system the ac-
ceptance of a diamond ring by a maid
from a man may become something less
than a lien upon her in a matrimonial
speculation. He may not be such a
character as she would desire to make
custodian of her own sweet innocent
self. And then he may not intend to
ask her.
It is ple*islng to observe that In ad-
dition to all of the manifold dangers
of ptomaine poisoning the Ice cream
confection Is not to be burdened with
divorce suits and breach of promise
cases. The world owes to Rev. C. H.
Yatman a deep debt of gratitude.
Agricultural note from a Colorado
liewrpaper: "Do hogs pay?" asks an
anxious inquirer. "Our opinion Is
they db not. They get as many years
in arrears as possible and then mark
the pupor 'Refused.' "
Just how the democrats~expect to se-
cure statehood by the election of Frank
Mathews Is one of the unsolved puzzle*.
Mathews is a democrat. The democrats
are In a minority In congress. They
are for two states of Oklahoma and
Indian Territory. The republicans are
for one. Their meaKure is pending now.
In view of the fact that Hon. J.
Frank Mathews was 31 years of age
when he was elected to the council two
years ago 1t seems that his blographen
have been lightning calculators to
make him 38 years old this year. Mr.
Mathews was born In 1871. It is
not against him that he Is young. He
,1s old enough. But his biographers
should not attempt to capture the cen-
tennarlan vote by expansion. Resides
there is Hon. H. Gas3*vv*.y r avi« to
; supply the years.
OUTLOOK GOOD
FOR BUSINESS
During the dullness that is an over
recurring concomitant of presidential
campaigns it is pleasing to obseVve that
there are conditions in Oklahoma
which make this section an exception
to the general rule. To be sure the us-
ual midsummer depression is appar-
ent. It may be a trifle more dull now
than It was last summer But gener-
ally the towns of Oklahoma are In
better business trim than the towns
in any of the states. There Is a nor-
mal amount of business In all of the
towns. And the crop outlook Is such
as to assure activity that will be worth
while within a few weeks.
In Oklahoma there is a present out-
look for crops thut has never heen
equalled since the territory was first
settled. In all the fifteen years that
Oklahoma has been a • good farming
country no such crops of corn and cot-
ton have been produced as seem to
be assured at thla time.
And while the Oklahoma prospect
Is good the neighboring states that
produce corn and cotton are not mak-
ing their usual showing. The demand
from abroad promises to be stronger
than In years. The visible supply la

INVESTIGATE FIELD
OF OKLAHOMA OIL
Development of Oklahoma oil re-
sources at Cleveland is the moBt pleas-
ing industrial proposition of the pe-
riod. The oil production on this side
of the Arkansas river indicates that
the oil fields of Kansas and the Osage
nation extend toward Guthrie. It In-
dicates that the future developments
of oil will bring the field this way
until In all probability the western
limit of the field will be frtund far to
the west and south of this city.
Experts have long contended that
tho Bartlesville field will find its best
production In tho southern and west-
ern limit of the area. That limit Is
surely being established to Include
much of Oklahoma. It is in nowise
doubted by the men who are develop-
ing the Oklahoma oil field that the
territory about Guthrie la full of pos-
sibilities. But development, natural-
ly, Is had first along the lines most
closely connected with the first field.
This makes it necessary for the peo-
ple who would expand the oil industry
to do some development alone.
In the course of time the leases that
are being secured In the vicinity f
Guthrie will bo prospected and If the
prospects prove good development win
naturally follow.
But If the people of Guthrie will
uwuken to the advantage that would
be theirs by forcing this development
now the advantage would be great.
It seems that in view of the devel-
opment at Cleveland the people of
this city might profitably engage in
some prospecting on their own account.
One or two wells to the necessary
depth would demonstrate the existence
of oil or elae disprove the theories
of the experts who have said it is
here and whose conclusions have been
so far verified as to make the pro-
position one of unusual Invitation. And
It is worth while to know.
That It costs money to make the
race for the presidential nomination
William R. Hearst realized when he
received his bill from the JefCeraon
hotel. Mr. Hearst engaged two Hours
and a half of this hotel Mr which he
must pay 116.000. The rooms were
occupied by his managers and friendly
delegations for live days, which makes
the cost something over $3,000 a day.
Notice that a granddaughter of Jef-
ferson Davis is to be married to a
relative of General Grant. May now ex-
pect that some Guthrie girl will be-
come the wife of an Oklahoma City
man.

How to Raise Church Funds.
Chicago Record Herald
• hit In Dorado K in., the Christina
church Is trying to raise money to pay off
Its debt. The tawk apparently 1h a nartf
one A few years ago it was reported that
the farmers of Kans.-is had so much nponey
Mist they had to pile it up In co-n cribs
The banks kept taking It In until they
were all full, kut they refused to b: I'd
annexes for the purpose of sheltering tjl
farmers' cash. It appenrs that a change
has been wrought In Kansas. Whether
this J* duo to the glorious high |>rl"e„s
which gladden Secretary 8hnw or to so .no
oth'T cause is not made known. In any
case there are some Kansas people who do
not feel that they can afford to subscribe
much money for the noble purpose of
liquidating the El Dorado Christ Inn church
debt. The growth of the fund has been
distressingly alow, which fact moves the
editor of one of K1 Dorado's newspapers
to print the following declaration:
"There are three wives who are mem-
bers of the Christian church whose hus-
bands are connected with three hanks In
town, and regardless of what they have
heretofore subscribed It sepms to us they
ought to go to church on Sunday morning
and start the new subscription with Jl.onn
each. If we had one-half the money and
one of these bankers claim to have we
would present the church with a $3,000
pipe organ."
It Is clear that the F! Dorado editor
recognizes tho propriety of maintaining a
certain reserve in a matter of this kind,
but we have no doubt that he succeeded
In letting the three ladles concerned know
that he meant them. The people of Kan-
sas must not be considered dull or lacking
in percentage powers. They can. as a rule,
t.iV • hints about as easily as others. How-
1 ''t If there remnfns In the minds of tho
wives of those three hankers any doubt
to the editor's mennlng ^ie will
probably be obliging enough to go Into the
matter at greater length, giving fuller de-
tails and perhaps naming names. If that Is
necessarv. Always trust a Kansas editor
to be willing to oblige.
A New York Guess.
New York World.
The solid south Is automatically demo-
cratic. With a Conservative candidate and
program, actively 8upported by Grover
Cleveland, the democrats confidently claim
New York. New Jersey and Connecticut.
The nomination of Henry G. Davis for vice
president la said to Insure the vote of
Maryland and West Virginia, not to speak
of the race issue. Mr. Roosevelt's reeog-
notion of Addicks and his methods is sup-
posed to have alienated enough conserva-
tive democrats nnd Independent republi-
cans to make Delaware safe for Judge
Parker. Rhode Island has elected a dem-
ocratic governor In tho last two state
elections.

CURRENT COMMENT
De« Moines Capital.
One hundred thousand men will hear
the news from the drawing for the R>e-
bud lands and each will declare in vlgoi-
ous tones that it is "Just my luck 1
could not sell gold dollars If I hid them."
I hen will follow a w.iil tit for th ■ occu-
pants of an Insane asylum.
"Just my luck." You hear thla on tbi?
street corner when a puss?iger arrives
Just as the car has gone by. You h-ar
It when there has been too mvh rain or
to much drouth for the cora You hear
it when the rivers overtlow and the wa-
ters get Into tho cellar.
"Just my luck." Men who have nevfr
taken business ventures before nearly al-
ways take those that have tho nio«t risk
connected with them; they take ventures
which men having plenty of monew ro-
U>se to , take, and then when the sptett-
■Pmvfa h" " ' •" '-'.ley 4l.cl.ir*:
that fate Is against them."
These things are largely the force of
habit. Men can watch evory little failure
and readily make. themselves IxMicve that
the world is against them. Women are
quite as bad us the men in this reaped.
Sometimes It seems to be possible for one
to pile up so many imaginary evidences
of III luck us to establish the 'act to one's
own Judgment. Hut generally the decision
In regard to one's ill luck is founded
on fallur• where sensible men know th*t
success would be ltaposslb*e.
Suppose you quit talking about your "lli
luck" and go to work and save vour
money. Then see bow you will ."ome'oi .
Suppose you look on the bright side
awhile and make yourself believe you are
the luckiest person in th.- woria. </n«
state of mind is about as • t.«lK produced
as the other. Ill luck and good luck are
largely states of mind.

Study of Forest Conditions.
Scientific American.
A study of forestry seems to be espe-
cially esteemed In countries where there
are no longer forests to study. Realizing
how vital to the welfare of a nation is
the preseravtlon of its forests, the United
States is making an endeavor to study
and Improve the forests of this country
while there Is yet time to preserve them.
In furtherance of this work this t'nlted
States geological survey has Just publish-
ed a paper which bears the title "Forest
Conditions In the San Francisco Moun-
tains Forest Reserve. Arizona."
The San Francisco Mountains Forest
reserve comprises portions of the broad
summit and slopes of an elevated tract of
land In north-.-entral Arizona, which in-
cludes the southern part of the Colorado
plateau. The northern part of th« area is
dotted by several hundred volcanic cones
ami the southern pert Is gashed by nu-
merous de< p canyons. The altitude of the
region ranges from 3.R00 fi^et at Oak creek
In Its southwestern portion, to 12,794 feet
nt the summit of San Francisco peak.
Among the coniferous trees In the re-
serve the yellow plno constitutes over 99
per cent of the total forest. The nspen
takes first rank among the brood-leaved
species, but has a close competitor In the
oak. The chlpf lumber tree at the pres-
ent Is the veliow pine, which Is extensive-
ly cut and furnishes all of the mill timber
sawed, used, in nnd exported from the
region. Its average total height Is 8B
feet, with about 1<"> feet of clear trunk.
The diameter averages IS Inches, which
corresponds to an age of 1*0 years In
the s 1 .',500 acres of forest area examined
2.734.658.000 feet P. M. of standing tim-
b. were found, which gives an average
of only 3.377 feet R M per acre. It Is
evident that the yellow pine stands, even
where entirely untouched by the ax. do
not carry an average crop of more than
40 per cent of the timber they are capa-
ble of producing This condition Is chiefly
attributable to the numerous Ores which
have swept over the region within the last
two huivdred years, destroying seedling
and sapling growth.
The chief agencies through which the
forests ill the reserve suffer destruction
are cutting, graslng. anil tire. lagging
operations have bee,n carried on In most
of the central forested areas that are trib-
utary to rnllroada. The forest ha? been
culled or cut from 14K.K45 acres. The
timber cut on these tracts has been con-
verted Into tie. atull or round mining tim-
ber. and saw logs
Gracing, especially sheep herding, is
.ruinous t" the seedling growth of a young
! forest Sheep are especially fond of th.
' young aspen, which springs up as the first
rostockage of the non-forested partk
lands at the base nnd on the slopes of
the San Francisco mountains. It was
found that the destruction of seedlings on
any particular tract of land ranged from

Fires have been of frequent occurrence
In all portions of the reserve. The badly
burned areas, on which the destruction
has been 60 per cent « r more, aggregate
6.790 acres. The origin of tires in recent
years may. In part, be ascribed to the
carelessness of sbeep herders. In part to
sparks from engines on the Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe railroad, but by far
the larger portion of fires are due to light-
ning, and this cause has, of course, al-
ways operated. Sections exist on which
50 per Cent of the mature yellow, pine has
been either wholly or In part killed by
lightning strokes.
Among Other Interesting questions con-
sidered In thla paper are the low repro-
ductive ratio of the yellow pine, the in-
fluence of the forest on run-off. the
graslng value of-the reserve, and the ef-
fects of sheep herding on the forest floor.
The bulk of the paper is devoted to de-
tailed descriptions of the areas, by range
and township, that make up the reserve.
The Duke and Duchess at Outs7
Chicago Tribune.
In every club In London, and. quietly. In
many of tho fashionable drawing-rootns,
whispers are to he heard accounting In
this and that way for the supposed es-
trangement of tho Duke and Duchess of
Marlborough. The young American wo-
man Is leading practically a life apart
from her husband; they see little of each

that their honeymoon days scarcely have
waned and while society wonders It also

The young duchess has been seen more

young duke has on more than one occas-

Edward's New Coats.
'hlladelphla Record.
People returning from England bring
Interesting accounts of King Edward's
new frock coats. They were of dark blue
broadcloth as seen nt the Ascot races,
nnd wore, of course. Immediately adopted
by many of the more fashionable dress-
ers. It looks ns though the black, gray
and oxfords were to be put aside over
there, but whether the new color will be
adopted In this country is a question.
It takes longer than It uaed to, accord-
ing to some authorities on the side, for a
new fashion set by England to be follow-
ed over here, and some tailors declare
the blue frock coat will not he seen In
America at nil. It would, they say, be
susceptible to so much expansion and
development In the hands of the cheap
Imitation that It will be eschewed alto-
