Comment upon the following from
the local Democratic organ is unner-
asBry:
"It may not much befit t-hoee who
are altogether on ih« outside to talk
much about what is going on inside.
Yet occasionally one who sits on th >
fence and watches the procession go-
ing by is able to see the direction
the procession is taking, as well, if
not better, than those who are in
thn midst of it
"To a Democrat on the fence this
* year, the procession in Oklahoma
seems taking very dangerous direc-
tions. We may not be moving to-
ward a surrender of the State to the
republicans next year, but a proces-
sion headed in that direction wouldn't
look very different from the ono we
have.
"Just at present the Hoard of Edu-
cation, the Board of Affairs and the
Board of Agriculture—boards which
control at least an aggregate of one-
third of the total governmental activ-
ity of the State—stand confronted
with Accusations of extreme char-
acter—accusations made not by Re-
publicans. but by Democrats. If the
accusers are to be believed, these
branches of the government have de-
generated into mere scrambles for
tho prequisites -the spoils, if you
please-of office. Dissension within
the administration itself seems to
have reached a point where it is
difficult to prove the probity of one
part by another part. The only peo-
ple in whom the various officers
seem to have complete confidence; is
In themselves.
"That this course of action is sui-
cidal from a party standpoint no one
will deny Add to this the necessity
of explaining the taxes this year, and
It immediately becomes evident that
after a few more months such as the
past two have been, the party had
Just as well prepare to move out of
gate capital stock outstanding of al-
most $9,000,000,000 ($8,997,347,426, to
be exact), show that this amount is
owned by almost 873,000 stockhold-
ers, the total runs to 872,392 Only
a little more than $10,000 par valtio
is in the bauds of each holder, or in
the terms of shares of stock which
aggregated about 110,000,000 less than
130 sharps to each average holder.
In 1906, when some of the corpora
ti on s included in the 1911 total had
not been formed, or failed to report
for that year, the capitalization re-
ported totaled less than $7,500,000,000.
Capitalization, hence, increased 20
per cent to 25 per cent in 1911 over
1900. Shares outstanding show prac-
tically a 2." per cent advance. Com-
pare with this the 120.9 per cent in-
crease in the number of sharehold-
872,392 in 1911, 394,842 in 1906.
It is not surprising that average
number of shares per holder was
126.5 in 1911, against 219.4 in 1906.
A decade ago stock were even less
well distributed to the smaller in-
vestor. Capitalization was about $5,-
500,000,000; shares. 60,000,000; hold-
ers, 22." ,000, and average number of
shares per holder 266.1.
Here are the figures:
Capitalization (1911) $8,997,347,426.
(1906) $7,323,147,307, (1901) $5,559,-
275,316; shares (1911) 110,426,197,
(1906) 86,630.251, (1901) 60,254,988;
shareholders (1911) 872,392, (1906)
394,842. 1901) 226,480; average shares
per holder (1911) 126.5, (1906) 219 4.
(1901) 266.1; par value stock per
holder (1911) $10,313, (1906) 18,547,
(1901) $24,546.
These figure* and the larger tabu-
lation are striking and the facts are
plain. Broadly speaking, despite the
growing capitalization stocks are re-
ceiving larger distribution year by
year. The unit shareholder owns a
smaller amount today than five years
ago, and a still smaller one as com-
pared with 1901. Corporations, in
other words, are owned not by the
great financiers, but by the 100-
share men. the owners of $10,000
New York, Sept. 13.- "I am a dis-
grace to myself, my country and iny
friends," said Wm. B. Ford Monday,
when arraigned before a magistrate
for sentence on his plea of guilty to
stealing two 5-cent subway tickets.
But I am not responsible. 1 am
the victim of some force I cannot
resist. 1 used to be a decent man."
Ford graduated from the Univer-
sity of Tennessee and was counsel
for the Fort Worth and Denver Rail-
road for 12 years. He served aB a
lieutenant in the Spanish-American
War, was wounded in each of three
engagements in the Philippines, and
following a sunstroke was honorably
discharged.
His descent dated from th^s time.
On returning to America he worked
as a laborer in San Francisco, then
re-enlisted under the name of Allen
Lefort. He was commissioned «a lieu-
tenant and while stationed at Fort
Schuyler, was tried on the charge
of stealing $2,500. He was sentenced
by court-martial to five years in the
Leavenworth prison, was declared in-
sane and was transferred to an asy-
lum. A nephew then took him to
Oklahoma, but he eluded his- watch-
ers and came to New York.
Ford pleaded to be allowed to re-
turn to Tennessee, but to no avail.
He was fined $500 and sentenced to
a year in the penitentiary.

Portland. Me., Sept. 13.—Returns
from 519 of the 521 cities, towns and
plantations, of which 250 are fur-
nished by town clerks, on the mat-
ter of the repeal of constitutional
prohibition had been received Tues
day night and gave a majority
against repeal of 465 votes.
The election was without question
oue of the most interesting contests
tht State ever has knuwu. There j
was not a home in any section of!
the State which had not been flooded
with literature sent out by both
sides while the voters were waited
upon by personal workers and har-
augued at public gatherings, to cast
their ballots for or against repeal.!
The result was that hundreds of vot-1
ers, who had not visited the polls
for years, with the possible exception
of last year, were there Monday.
Little excitement marked the vot-
ing.
Since 1851 Maine has had a statue I
prohibiting the sale of Intoxicating
liquors and since 1V<4 prohibition
has been a part of the constitution,
lu that year (1884) the question of
placing prohibition in the constitu-
tion was put before the people and
prohibition won by a niajoiity of 4." ,-
SSS, carrying every county in the
State. Following this the attacks of
the anti-prohibitionist* ceased for a
timo only to be renewed In later
years.
The Democratic party last year
made the question of resubmission of
the constitutional amendment to the
people a plank of Its platform. The
Democrats swept tho State In the
election and the Legislature, aided by
j some Republican votes, voted to put
the matter before the people. *
Muskogee, Okla Sept. 13.—A
strange disease among cattle has
caused alarm among the farmers In
the southern part of the county.
Numbers of cattle have been dying
during the last week. The disease
affects both cows and horses. Their
shoulders and breasts swell and it
spreads to the throat and larynx and
they choke to death. The State vet
erlnarian and other experts went to
Haskell, Okla., today to see if any-
thing could be done to stamp out the
disease.
