these people to do Is to pocket their

The proposition made by the women
who would corral an election Is partic-
ularly weak and baseless. It is patent-
ly a bid for notoriety and as such will
doubtless fall of Its own cumbersome
weight of weak logic. The proposition
of the prohibitionists has something
to It that appeals to the people and Is
seen to be a bad one only in the meas-
ure of Its unimportance and useless-
ness at this time. The prohibition
question is one that will have to be
met. But it need not be urged now
for It will jeopard lie t he passage of
the bill and in doing so will dereat. the

winning. Boys are awkward, clumsy,
uncouth and a menace to peace.
A boy Is surely welcome of a cordial
greeting only in places where ho ought
not to be.
Theie are the recited causes of the
difficulty that is observed. The reme-
dies are obvious. Boys are really
worth while. They should be ao con-
sidered. It Is the rarest thing In the
world to find a boy and his father
who are more than mere acquaint-

It is the sovereign privilege of the
state to make laws for Its own govern-
ment, limited only by the constitution
of the United States.
The coming state of Oklahoma can
deal with the liquor question with
greater satisfaction to the people than
can congress. The same is true of tho

THE COTTON BELT
AND BOLL WEEVILS
A menace to one of the greatest In-
dustries of America is recoguized in
the cotton l oll weevil. In his report for
the year, just made public, the sec re-
So the boy becomes an Ishmaellte
in his small way. Aud he is the worse
for it all through his youth. In later
years he comes to the parting of the
ways. His native stamina may make a
good man of him. His native weak-
ness may make a bad one of him. In
any event when he Is at the age at
which his sister Is petted and made
much of and wooed aud won by some
other older boy he Is in the balance
in office for more than two terras that
is seen in the elections by the people.
If the precedent be set by the presi-
dent that is expected of him it is prob-
able that the reBult will be an elimi-
nation of the life place and of the pro-
fessional office holder.
In the personal appointments of
President Roosevelt is seen his desire
to have men in public office who are
virile and of tlm business and profes-
sional world of the day aud hour.
The selection of such members of his
cabinet as has been made by Presi-
dent Roosevelt is along this line. Take
the Instance of the elevation of Paul
Morton to the cabinet. Morton Is not
a man who may be expected to desire
to remain in office. All of his busi-
ness instincts would urge him to retire
at an early date and return to the great
industrial work which he nas followed.
But the cabinet will be stronger for this
disinterested business man having been
in It. The same is true of Moody and
others of the rablnet. They are not
place hunters or place holders. In the
smaller places the same tendency to-
ward practioal results Is seen In the
selections made by the president, The
recent appointment of Franclr K.
Leupp, a journalist, to whom the salary
of Indian Commissioner Is not au at-
traction. Is an Instance of the desire of
the president to place men In office who
will make the places other than a
means for a livelihood that used to
be the material inducing consideration
with office seekers.

not immunity. The report of the sec-
