in, the job of running for the presidency.
We seem to have among us a considerable number
of guileless persons who imagine that a national
committee or a national convention is a sort of a de-
bating society or town meeting, where previously
uninformed and uninstructed individuals gather
with open minds to hear evidence and, render a ver-
dict after the fashion of a jury in a criminal court.
It seems to shock the finer sensibilities of these uu.
sophisticated ones that national committeemen or
delegates to the national convention will give evi-
dence of having read of the occurrence in the news-
papers and of having formed opinions which might
take considerable evidence to remove.
tor the information of till such artless natures it
may be suggested that polities is a game; that the
man who plays it most shrewdly with the card in his
hand wins the most points; that each member of the
national committee has been chosen for his place,
not because of his judicial temperament and fin*
sense of justice, but for his accomplishments as a
player oh the political team.
That delegates to the national convention were
not in themselves or in their representative capacity
the plain people at all, but pawns on a chessboard,
carefully selected in advance by their superiors and
designed, as they know and as they were glad to be
designed, to obey and to be moved about the politi-
cal chessboard for a certain predetermined end that
the outfit with which they were identified went to
accomplish.
Ilerc in Oklahoma we chose to represent us in
the Chicago convention men who have gone up there
we all know with what passion of open-mindedness
for the desires of the toiling masses, and we ail
know with what inward and inappeasable scorn of
arts political and machines partisian.
This is precisely what has happened everywhere
else this year and other years, in one party and the
other party. And vet persons who must have been
born no longer ago than the day before yesterday
complain that the national convention appears to
have made up its mind not to be amenable to evi-
dence of argument!
Yes, the national committee was for Taft. Of the
fifty odd expert and seasoned politicians of which
it is constituted, thirty-five have been absolutely
known beforehand, by sedulous inquiry from every
interested source, to be for Taft as the nominee.
For the Roosevelt policies as a winning political
proposition and for Taft as in their judgment the
representative of those policies the most likely to
Wiu the election.
These men did not wait until they got to Chicago
to make up their minds.
The game is not played with any such lack of
foresight or any such trusting to chance,
The members of the Republican national commit-
tee were not at Chicago, nor will the members of the
Democratic national committee be at Denver, to
listen intently and trustftilly for the murmur of vox
populi.
They were there, or will he there, simply to fight
for what they had or will have already determined
upon in their own minds.
It is comparatively a waste of tiinf and energy|
to call upon the politician who holds two bowers.1
the ace and the joker to play his hand some way if j
he can so that his opponent may take three tricks.
This is the way politics is played.
It is a game set. up long in advance and the man
that gets the most tricks will not turn them over
to the other fellow.
In such a game, as in many others, it is probably
more consistent with decorum, dignity and forti-
tude to acknowledge the corn and get ready to shuf-
flle the cards for another game than to snivel and
whine and bellyache around that the other fellow
seems to have high, low, jack and the game in his
hand and won't give you any points out of regard
to the toiling masses and that unless he does you
won't play in his back yard.
THE STATE PRESS
POINTED STATEMENTS ON MANY SUBJECTS.
FROM THE MOUNDS ENTERPRISE
From the Mounds Enterprise:
Representative Stone of Kelfer states
"I was very much against the Excise
Tax Hill anil also the bill which pro-
vided for tho >-ale of school land*. The
former was made a law but the latter
was voted down.
Th- Excise tax bill was unjust to the
producer and the sale of school land
bill was unjust to the children of the
new state and I hope the people will
thoroughly Inveitlgate it before they vote
for It next November."
The matter of the sale of school lania
will be voted upon by the people at the
coming election, It Is being agitated now
—Our advice would be to voters, be care
ful what you vote for. When the fall
campaign opens we will give you a piece
of advice along this line.
"I was afraid you were going to let that
case go by default. Let me have the pa-
pers.'
And the ywere filed. The lawyer, who
had faced what amounted to profession-
al ruin by his negligence, went out with
tears In his eyes, saying over and over;
"What a man he is! What a man he Is!
And thus the democratic papers of the
state, which use the governor press
agency 'dope" dlscloee the fact that the
democracy mad€ a false promise before
statehood.

The man who always gets his own way

Wine and women may be alike In some

It's the turning point In a woman's
life when her hair begins to get gray.
A woman may be wrapped up In her-

People who won't take what they can
get are apt to get what they dislike to

It t;ikes a lawyer to draw a will so

SEND THEM TO OKLAHOMA
Professor C. II. Morse savs that in Boston forty
thousand youngsters, messengers, office boys, news-
boys, etc., are working at occupations that do not
provide ultimate opportunity for making a decent
livelihood. Still, we fancy many successful business
men were office boys themselves. It does not make
very much difference where the young man starts;
if he has got it in him his merit is bound to be rec-
ognized.
JUST A LITTLE OFBOTH
An Italian physician says theiv arc very few Ital-
ians to be found in the New York hospitals. Ilc|
does not make it plain whether this is because of
i?ood health of his countrymen, or whether it is be-
cause when an Italian starts to carve or shoot he
generally makes such a clean job of it that there-is
no need for hospital treatment.
A VERY GOOD CHANGE
In Russia vodka Jbottles have borne the imperial
eagle on the stamp. The Daeina Communion, which
is fighting with the drink evil in the land of the Czar,
has decided to remove this eagle and substitute there-
for a skull and crossbones. A more appropriate
emblem for a liquor bottle surely than the eagle.
LIVINO LIFE FAST
A New York City physician learns from a study of
statistics that deaths from heart disease are increas-
ing .to an alarming extent in this country, while
deaths from other causes are 011 the decrease. He
attributes the many fatalities from affections of th"
heart to the tremendous pace at which so many per-
sons 111 this country direct their daily lives. It is
rapidly becoming the "pace, that kills."

TAFT—THE MAN WHO
DOES THINGS THAT COUNT.
When placed in charge of the work jn
the Panama Canal, as secretary of war,
Taft received a delegation of striking
steam shovel engineers. They wanteu
more money. As always, Secretary Taft
was willing to look into their case, but
that wasn't what they wanted.
"We'll strike right now If you don't
agree to give us this raise,' said the
shovelers" representatives, truculently.
Secretary Taft's eyes began to gleam a
bit as he looked at them.
'Do I understand you rightly gentle-
men?" he asked. "Do you mean to say
that you want that raise 'before I have
decided, and that if you don't get it
you'll strike?"
Yes, he had understood them Just right
they said, with a swagger.
'Then, gentlemen." said he "will you
kindly step over to that table In the cor-
ner and write out your resignations?"
Tiiat put a different face upon it. They
didn't want to resign. Come to think of
It calmly, they didn't want to strike un-
til he had investigated their claims. He
sent them back to their work, investigat-
ed their case, heard statements from iho
other employes of the canal, and In the
end refused to grant their demands un-
less at such time as all the other classes
of labor should have a proportionate in-
crease.
And so well satisfied were they by this
time that their demands had. In fact,
been unfair, that they made no further
trouble.
Last summer Secretary Taft was with
his brothers at their summer home at
Murray Bay, In Canada. In some manner
the board sidewalks which connects the
different summer cottages caught ire,
and it was plain to be seen that If the
flames were net extinguished the cot-
tages would go up in smoke.
Secretary Taft told the nearest man,
an old Frenchman, to got a crowbar and
take up the sidewalk. Ln his excitement
the Frenchman simply pottered around
and .lid not good. Mr. Taft quietly push-
ed him aside.
He seized that wooden sidewalk, spik-
ed down to cross bars, and with one
mighty heave tore It loose from its sup-
ports. Another heave and the sidewalk
was thrown to one side. Mr. Taft told
the Frenchman to gather it up and put
It away. But the old man Just walked
he could get one to stand and listen he'd
declare:
'By gar, dat Taf, he strong as one
bull moose."
When Presidene McKlnley was simply
his wits' end to get a big man—a really
big man—to head his newly made Philip-
pine commission, he called Judge Day in
consultation. He told of his troubles,
of the men he had canvassed and found
wanting. And then he ended with:
Help me out, Day. I must have a big.
broad man; and he must be strong,
faithful and honest.
"Well, whv don't you appoint him;
you know him,' 'said Day. "That descrip-
tion fits Bill Taft to a hair."
And when McKlnley thought It over
he thought so. too. Bir Taft didn't want
the Job.
"I'm not the m you v. -nt," he said.
'Why, I have never even believed thit
the Philippines should be retained.''
But President McKlnley prevailed up-
on him to accept, for as Mr. McKlnley
Illustrious successor said of Mr. Taft
later on.
'He delights in responsibilities."
One day Justice Harlan of the supreme
court, who lives near the secretary at bis
summer home In Canada, was twitting
the big man on his health.
"I saw the doctor going over to your
place yesterday, Taft" drawled the old
Kentuckian.
"Y-e-s," answered the secretary,
•You see. I had a stomach ache, and I
had a doctor to see about It."
'Stomach ache?' roared the Justice
'Had to have a doctor to cure a little
stomach ache?"
Taft unbuttoned his coat. The action
was significant.
'When I have a stomach ache" he said
In his most serious tone, "you cannot,
you munst not call it a 'little* stomach
ache."
James p Pigott of New Haven and
Taft w«re freshmen together at Yale.
They had Just formed a friendship, and
one night were walking up E1m street
In those days n freshman bad only th?
th* bare right of existence conceded him
by the sophomore*. Certainly he had
right to walk on the clean sld<*walks
while there was mud In the street'
As Pigott and Taft strolled beneath
the elms a gang of half a doten soph
rushed them. Under the soph's rul
Taft and Pigott were due for a ducking
In the mud. Tigott. who was a feather-
w lcht. stood aside. Taft said softly;
'But T do not car< to go out in the
mud."
When they go through charging. Wil-
liam H. Taft wrts slowly walking up Elm
street, arm in arm with James P Pigott
Out In the cold mud «tood the half dozen
sophs. As long as Taft remained at col-
lege he had the freedom of the side-
walks. The wholp sophomore class would
have hollered for help before they would
have tried to fuss with him again.

DAILY VERSE
THE EMPTY HOUSE
(By George S. Vlereck)
How changed the house Is when no lovo
is there!
Your deep eyes vex m« like some magic
book
I can not ponder, and I will not brook
The weariness of your too golden hair.
Hush! Was not that the creaking of a
stair?
Is It his footfall, or the wind's? I look
In vain for him in every hidden nook-
There is no sound of laughter anywhere.
Ah. sweet, he has forsaken us; not base,
But heedless, boyish—and the world Is
wide!
He sees not now your sorrow-haunted
face
Or feels the dagger that has pierced
my aide,
And now all Joy is vanished from the
place
As from a house in which a child has
died.

POVERTY-STRICKEN MEN
Though the salaries of congregated
have lately been raised to $7,600 a yeai
one congressman has Just resigned oi
on the ground that he cannot afford to
stay In office, but must go out into th-*
world and earn money for his family. 1
There was a time when the honor jf
serving one's country in congress was'J
thought abundant recompense for the i,\%
comfort of receiving less money reward"
than might be procured ln other occupa.
tlons. Still further back, $5,000 a ye4p
was considered a large salary. It \Vai
much larger than the average American
income, and men were eager to obtain
it for its own sake. But now, it seemf,
a representative who sees a chance to /
make more money outside of congress
than In It does not heslt&te to follow
Speaker Reed's example and resign.
Conditions are changing In the United
Stites with astonishing rapidity. Con-
gren has become numerically so laiy.> I

feeling that he has boon honored by th* I

himself in an atmosphere of wealth and J
luxury and sees lobbyists and corpora- 1

would rather be a $75,000 a year indiv-

inhabitants, but. Judging from some of
my experiences in a l te visit, I should
say that big Lone Star commonwealth
was a victim of a good deal of foul
legislation." said Mr. W. M. Dennett, of
San Francisco, at the Bennert.
"Coming out of El Paso, the con-
ductor came through the train and warn
ed the passengers that it was a violation
of the Texas law for anyone to take a
drink of wine or other liquor from a
private bottle, and that whoever did so
was liable to a fine of $200 and three
months in Jail.
'On the same Pullman I occupied was
a consumptive Invalid that was going
back to his old home, ln the east to die.
The shk man had an attack which caus-
ed him to collapse, and his nurse rushed
terrified through the car begging some
one for n htimulant. I told the conductor
that I d take a chance on breaking the
law and handed mv bottle over to tho
nurse, who bestowed a heartv blessing
while the conductor, a humane man,
turned his back on the scene.
"Another ridiculous statute requires
the stoppage of any passenger train that
is an hour late. It is then detained for
the next twenty-four hours, and a new
train Is ordered out from the next sta-
tion ahead. By reason of this brilliant
piece of legislation the fast train I was
on was held two and one-half hours In
on| town, because the company, to avoid
being late, had lengthened its schedules.
Mich laws would seem to Indicate an
excess of granger representation In a
state that Is In most respects thorough-
ly modern and progressive. Public senti-
ment, a I found in talking to many Tex-
ans. Is bitterly against the enactment of
measures of thU sort and It may be
taken for granted that they will bo
speedily repealed."~Baltlmore American.

There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness Is caused by an inflamed oon-
dltlon of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is Inflam-
•*d you have a rumbling sound or Imper-
fect hearing, and when It is entirely
closed, Iieufness [„ the result, and unless
the Inflsmmatlon can be taken out and
thI" tube restored to It normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which la nothing but an inflamed condl^
tlon of ths mucous surfaces.
