OUR RANK.
thai the new state of Oklahoma is
4cctined to take high rank ^mong
tk« suites of the union in agriculture,
oonclnsiveJy proven by the gov-
crop figures. In cotton, Ok-
is again ahead of the states
•I the great cotton belt in the condi-
tion of the crop, while in corn, the
stales of the great com belt are sur-
Dass«'d As it is with cotton and
mrz so it is with other grain and
•orajr. crops, garden truck and fruits.
Tke average condition of the cotton
"Crop throughout the country August
25 was 77.3. In Indian Territory it
was SO, or three per cent above the
average, while in Oklahoma the con-
ttior wne 88. These figures show the
*ine rank the new state will take in
icotlun culture.
Thr r«rn average of the country is
M-2. while in both Oklahoma and In-
Territory it is 95, which is there-
itovt the average for the new state.
Troxi Kansas has but 88. The con-
of corn In the new state is
fkwpJore seven per cent better than
flw sunflower state.
What a place for succssful and di-
verclfled farming is Oklahoma!

signs that he has weakened, as he has
done on the Question of public owner-
ship. Even Mr. Bryan's warmest
friends cannot approve of his officious
meddling in the political affairs of the
state of Illinois, and he has doubtless
received some wholesome counsel on
that score since his return to this
country. He succeeded in bullying
the Democratic convention in 1900, af-
ter his nomination was assured, but
It is very doubtful whether the Demo-
cratic party, be It ever so desperate
and low-spirited from repeated de-
feats, will deliberately cosent to pes
mit Bryan to overthrow its state or-
ganization by taking part in factional
fights and dictating who shall hold the
offices, honorary and otherwise. Illi-
nois very properly rebuked his unjust
and unwarranted interference by In-
dorsing Roger Sullivan and turning
down the faction whose cause Mr.
Bryan espoused, and It Is likely he
will meet with an even sharper rebuff
if he attempts the same thing in New
York, where the Democrats are dis-
tracted and torn asunder in bitterly
hostile factions.
Mr. Bryan's attack on Roger .Sul-
livan was indefensible because the
case was res adjudlcata—having been
settled by the national committee, and
on Bryan's appeal from its decision,
by the nalonal convention by a vote of
3 to 1. His assertion that the national
delegates would have voted otherwise
but for the fear of injuring the chanc-
es of the presidential nominee is a
pure assumption, unwarranted by the'
facts. The controlling fact is that the |
convention did sustain Sullivan, and
selling out to them. As a matter of
fact these men are good citizens, as
good as or better than Bryaji him-
self, and there is no discredit in as-
sociating with them. The only dis-
credit, causing a gorge of disgust, is
the pretense of virtue In not doing
so.
A GENTLEMAN.
Secretary Bonaparte in a recent
address to the United tSates naval
academy class Insisted that the mem-
bers should not only be good officers
but gentlemen as well. In this con-
nection he said:
"Now, what is a 'gentleman?" The
question may well be asked, for the
word is grossly abused; in common
usuage, it means sometimes much and
sometimes little, and often lees than
qothlng. As used in laws and regu-
lations governing our navy, Its essen-
tial meaning is that you and your
brother officers have duties beyond
the duties of others; that you have
obligations which do not rest on all
members of this community, that of
you are required a measure of self-
control, a readiness for self-sacrifice;
a sensitiveness in honor which it
might be neither reasonable to expect
nor charitable to exact of all your
fellow-citizens. Moreover, since what-
ever else a 'gentleman' may or may
not be, he is and is thought of always
and everywhere as a man entitled to
respect; it is a part of your profes-
sional duty, a part of the service due
your country at your hands, a part
of the solemn and eternal obligation
of your oaths, that as officers you be
known for such simplicity and truth,
such modesty of demeanor and such
purity of life as will earn for you the
respect of good men.''
as it was the political supreme court,
that ought to have settled the mat-
ter. Considering that fact, Mr. Bryan's
intereference at this late day is Il-
legal, so to speak, in defiance of the
customs and rules of his party. It is
OLD MAIDS? NEVER!
When does a girl become an old
maid? This question, blunt and shorn
of delicate innuendo, Is now figuring
in the somnolent discussion of Phila-
delpha society. One might say that
a girl becomes an old maid when she
fails to marry betimes, but that is not
the point. What is the exact year that
ushers in spinsterhood and closes for-
ever the gates of youth?
Of course this is not a matter in
which man has any word to say. No
rational wearer of trousers would
tempt fate and the scorn of feminity
by attempting a suggestion, for any ar-
bitrary dead line would necessarily
bring down upon the luckless mascu-
line head a storm of reprobation. It
