A Short Sketch of the Democratic
Nominee for President
Stockholm—American athletes won
two notable victories at the Olympic
games Sunday. R. C. Craig of the
Detroit V. M. C. A. captured the final
oi the 100 meters dash, while James
Thorpe, an Oklahoma student of the
Carlisle Indian school, won the pen-
tathlon, a series of five events.
The stars and stripes were seen oft-
en at the head of the mast where the
colors of the victors were raised at
the lx>ndon Olympiad, hut the triumph
achieved Sunday never before was wit-
nessed on an international athletic
field. The flags are erected in the
Stockholm stadium where the colors
of the nations scoring first, second
and third in the final contest of each
event are hoisted. When the 100 met-
ers sprint—the event most honored
on athletic fields, had been finished,
the American flag went up on the first
staff, on the second and on the third.
Craig, A. T. Meyer, Irish-American
Athletic club, and IV F. Lipplncott,
University of Pennsylvania, were the
men they represented. Craig's time
10 4-5 seconds, equals the Olympic rec-
ord.
Only one other number on the pro-
gram was concluded Sunday. 1 hat
was the pentathlon, which was intend
ed to be a test of all-round prowess
When this event was included in the
Olympic games, conservative old-
timers, both English and Americans,
who heretofore had dominated l<he
Held sports, regarded It with suspi
clou as a trick of the newcomers to
gain points which were not contem
plated In the original program
The United States got the lion's
share of the glory from that also At
Its conclusion the first and third
staffs floated American flags and the
second Norway's.
The Indian. Thorpe, by his victory
"won his position as the legitimate suc-
cessor of Martin J. Sheridan as an all-
round athlete. Of those who entered
this competition, the four Americans,
Thorpe, Brundadge, Donohue and Men-
aul, started In all the eventB and
stayed to the end with the Norwegian,
Bie, the Canadian, Lukeman, and the
Swede, Wieslander.
The semi-finals and the tryouts for
the running high Jump put the Amer-
icans in the position of practically
owning the events, six representatives
of the United States qualifying for the
finals in both competition" The 1,000
meter race was less satisfactory, but
was not entirely disappointing. Louis
Tewanima of the Carlisle Indian
school, Joseph Keeper of Manitoga.
Louis Scott of South Patterson, and
U. F. McGuire of North Attleboro,
Mass., qualified for the finals.
One of the surprises of the day was
the running of the little Finn, T. Kole-
hmaiuan, who defeated the great Knj',
lishman, W. Scott, in the 10,000 met-
ers
The bicycle race around Lake Malar,
a distance of about 200 miles, won by
Lewis of South Africa in 10 hours 42
minutes. C.rubb, England, was se<
ond, and ShUtt, Kansas City, attached
to the St. Louis Cycling club, third.
The team race combined with the in-
dividual competition gave Sweden first
place, England second and the United
States third.
PROGRESSIVE CALL ISSUED
Teddy Supporters Will Gather at
Chicago August 5
New York.—A call to the people of
the United States who are in sym-
pathy with the "national progressive
movement" to send delegates to a
national convention to open at ( hi-
cago August 5, was given out Sunday
afternoon by United States Senator
Joseph M. Dixon of Montana, Theo-
dore Roosevelt's campaign manager.
The call is signed by members of the
committee chosen at a preliminary
meeting held in Chicago and includes
signatures of Roosevelt followers in
forty states.
"The territories have no place in a
national convention and will not be
considered," declared Senator Dixon
in commenting on the signatures. "As
for the missing eight states, the most
of them probably will send delegates,
although they have not takeu part In
the call.
••Maine, for instance, postponed any
definite action because there is a
strong fight on in the primaries with
the sympathy running in fav°r°f the
progressive movement.
It was as a lawyer that Woodrow
Wilson made his first bow to the
world, and as president of Princeton
he became more widely known, but
it was as a reformer that he achieved
tto limliifet, md it wti rwfom that
landed him in the New Jersey gov-
ernor's chair.
Horn in Staunton, Va.. December 28,
1856, he was christened Thomas Wood-
row Wilson, but in his youth he rut
off the "Thomas" because, as he said,
he wanted to use only one name, and
Thomas W. Wilson would have been
too commonplace. (Iraduating from
Princeton in 1879, he practiced law
for two years in Wesleyan university,
he became an educator. He taught
history and political economy for
three years in Byrn Mawr college, and
was instructor in the same branches
fo rtwo years in Wesleyan university,
before he was engaged as a teacher
of jurisprudence and politics in Prince-
ton, his alma mater. He became
president of Princeton, August 1, 1902
and held that position until October,
1910, when he resigned to become
governor. In 1885 he married Miss
Helen Louise Axson, of Atlanta, <>a.
Governor Wilson holds A. D., LL.D.,
and other degrees from Princeton,
University of Virginia, JohnB Hopkins,
Brown, Harvard, Williams, Dart-
mouth, and Yale universities.
It was as a writer that Woodrow
Wilson first got before the people as
a politician. He wrote volumniously
of the evils of bossism, the corruption
of politics, and th«* like, and Quit®
naturally glided from the pen to the
platform and banquet table, being
asked to speak for various meetings
and dinners in all the large cities.
"A prophet is not without honor |
save in his own country," and through
his writings and after-dinner speeches,
Woodrow Wilson was being talked
about as a reformer long before the
people of New Jeresy considered him
seriously.
As far back as 1904 people in the
west were "talking about" Wilson as
a presidential possibility, but New
Jersey knew nothing of him or about
it, and again at Denver, in 1908, he
was "spoken of." But it was not un-
til 1910 that the people of the doctors
Stat-} "discovered" him. Then the
democratic bosses of the corporation-
ridden state decided that it was time
to elect a governor. They had not
had one since the days of Cleveland,
and it was decided that reform was a
good platform. Considering reform-
ers, they picked Wilson as a "man
of the hour," aud ran him. Wilsou
was elected, but the bosses soo.i  ero
led to believe that they had "picked
a lemon," for no sooner did "Prexy"
have his long lean legs firmly en-
twined around the governor's chair
rungs than he began loudly to defy.
He defied the bosses, he defied the
corporations, he defied everybody
while the defying was good, and he
made a noise that was heard through-
out the country.
"The time when you can play poli-
tics and fool the people has gone by,"
was one of Gov. Wilson's platitudes
on the night he accepted the New
Jersey "call," and there are those who
now paraphrase his remarks thusly:
"The time when you can play the
people and fool the politicians has not
come."

Pedagogues Meet in Chicago for Fif-
tieth Annual Convention — A
Large Attendance and a Very
Enthusiastic Meeting.
Chicago.—Reports submitted Mon-
day to the National Education asso-
ciation which opened its fiftieth an-
nual convention here said that of the
20,000,000 school children in the
United States, 12,000,000 are being
educated in rural schools and that
only one-third of the country boys
and girls are making a satisfactory
showing.
Thomas H. Harris, state superin-
tendent of schools of Louisiana, de-
clared the condition of the rural
schools was becoming so deplorable It
was time for the federal government
to provide both money and methods
to remedy the situation.
"The fear of federal Interference
with state control of schools should be |
set aside in the interest of rising gen- '
erations," said Mr. Harris. "National (
supervision of country schools is an |
absolute necessity. Our country needs
a better educated rural citizenship."
Mr. Haris left it to the convention j
to decide what steps should be taken j
to induce the federal government to j
lend assistance. It is likely that the ,
rural school problem will be one of I
the most Important to come before the j
convention. A special committee ap- j
pointed to investigate the subject will j
urge appointment of field workers to
travel over the country in the interest :
of country schoolB.
Despite the intense heat, the audi-
torium was tilled and the convention
was called to order will hundreds of
educators being unable to gain admis-
sion.
659 Wells Brought In in June; Fewer
Failures Are Reported
Bartlesville, Okla.—That there is a
steady increase being made in the ac-
tivity of the Mid-Continent oil and gas
field and that the production of the
field shows no signs of retarding, is
made evident in the report of the num-
ber of new wells drilled and the
amount of production during the
month of June.
In June there was a grand total of
1,514 wells completed in the oil fields
east of the Mississippi and the fields
In the Mid-Continent and Texas-Louis-
iana districts. Of these fields the Mid-
Continent, which includes Kansas and
Oklahoma, gave a greater increase in
production and number of new wells
drilled than any of the other divisions.
Six hundred and fifty-nine wells were
brought in in the past month in Kan-
sas and Oklahoma, eighty-seven being
completed in the former state which
was the largest number for several
years. Operators in this Bectlon are
extending their work as fast as oppor-
tunity permits.
In Oklahoma 579 wells were fin-
ished. In the whole M id-Continent
field fifty more wells were drilled than
In May, while at the same time there
was a less number of failures com-
pleted during June than in May. The
June production of this field was 17,-
837 barrels, which is considerably
greater than in May. With the raise
1 in the price of oil which is expected
| soon, this production will be increased
' In July.

Speech of Acceptance
Seagirt, N J.—Governor Woodrow
Wilson and Senator-elect Ollle James
of Kentucky, who was permanent
chairman of the Baltimore convention,
decided Saturday afternoon to have
the governor formally notified of his
nomination on the lawn of New Jer-
sey's "little White House" here, at 2
o'clock on the afternoon of Wednes-
day, August 7. Mr. James came up
from Washington and had a long talk
with the nominee, during which he
was required to name as late a date
as possible to afford Governor Wilson
an opportunity to catch tip with his
correspondence, now some 10,000 let-
ters and telegrams behind.
The speech or notification will be
short and the governor's reply will
sound the keynote of ^he campaign,
Mr. James declared. Governor Wilson
let it be known that he would deal
chiefly with the hig cost of living
j and the tariff, which he regards as
I the leading issues, clearly and fully.

nor Marshall believes in
moderation. Also he believes in pro-
gressing with moderation. He does
not believe that this great and glo-
rious commonwealth is goln to "dem-
nltlon bow-wows"; in fact, he points
with pride to his belief that the
country is just a little bit better po-
litically and financially than ever
Governor Marshall was born in
Manchester, Ind., in 1854 and has

The report shows further that dur-
ing the past year, 1911, the value of
corn raised in the county was $546,-
131; of wheat, $560,690; of oats, $231,-
513; of kafir corn, $113,844; of alfalfa,
$260,000; of poultry, marketed, $42,-
902; of eggs, $86,826; and of butter
marketed, $50,209. The value of
horses was $944,574; of mules $275,-
169; of cattle, $322,055, and of swine,
$68,123. .  
Expenses Reduced In Garfield County
Enid, Okla.—it will require $38,-
196.58 less to conduct the affairs of
Garfield county this year than last,
according to the estimate of the coun-
ty commissioners just made. The tax-
payers will be called upon to raise
$89,762.77 this year; $43,500 is need-
ed for the salary fund, $11,000 for the
court fund, $15,000 for the contingent
fund, $20,000 for the road and bridge
fund and $10,000 for the common
school fund. The total amount neces-
sary to run the county will be $122,500
but there is $13,397 in funds on hand
and income frora other sources of
$18,300.
M., O. & G. Rushing Road Building
Miami, Okla.—Material for the big
Missouri, Oklahoma & Gulf steel
bridge across the Neosha river at Mi-
ami is now on the ground. This will
be the longest bridge on the entire
system, containing besides three
spans of steel work, 3.000 feet of wood
trestle work at the north end.
President Kenefick has decided to
give Miami a $12,wio depot, which will
be one of the handsomest small city
structures of its kind on the entira
system. Construction material for the
d'epbt is now on the ground and work
of erection will begin at once. A great
part of the grading between Miami
and the Lincolnville mining camp has
now been completed.
COUNTY COURT CONGESTED
Oklahoma City—According to the re-
port issued by Governor Cruce the ex-
ecutive department of the state will
turn back $21,602.64 of the appropria-
tion for that department for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1911, which was
$34,100. The total expenses for the de-
partment was $12,497 36. The expenses
ol' the department, in detail, are; Gov-
ernor's salary, $4,500; salary of private
secretary, $2,000; salary of Carl F.
Croninger, $1,200; postage, $26.84; tel-
ephone and telegraph, $267.02; special
service and extra help. $3,949.2a; sta-
tionery and office supplies, $518.21;
contingent fund, $56.04. ,
"It is only right that the people
should know how this money is being
expended," says the governor. "Al-
though the legislature prescribes the
amount of money which shall be turned
over to the departments, it does not
prescribe the manner in which this
may be expended. This gives room for
an immense waste. The contingent
fund, for instance, covers a multitude
of sins, and unless state officers are
careful they will find that their money
is being used for purposes which are
not intended for them."
The state penitentiary fund will
show a deficiency owing to the fact
that in making up the estimates, pro-
visions were made for 1,000 prisoners.
Instead, however, there has at no
time within the past year been less
than 1,200 prisoners and the expense
of maintaining the penitentiary has
been materially increased by reason of
this fact. The salaries of district court
reporters will also create a deficiency.
That is brought about by reason of
the fact that there was no law pro-
viding for the payment of the report-
ers out of state funds. The courts in
passing upon a recent act of the legis-
lature, however, ruled that these sal-
aries were to be paid by the state.
As to deficiencies, Governor Cruce
reiterated a statement which he has
made previously to the effect that he
would approve no deficiency bills un-
less it could be shown h}m conclu-
sively that it had been necessary to
create the deficiency.
New Line Project For Katy System
Oklahoma City.—Once more the
Katy looms up as new line acquisi-
tion dark horse in Oklahoma trans-
portation circles, it being stated that
Dr. G. A. Vawter and O. J. McKnight,
who recently purchased for $35,000
the receivership property of the Enid,
Ochiltree & Western, represented
that system in the deal. With the
M„ K. & T.'s well-established repu-
tation of doing things thoroughly and
promptly when it takes up a new line
project, the people along the line are
encouraged to believe the road will
be completed at an early date and
have resumed the work of raising
bonuses.
The road will begin at the Texas
Panhandle city of Dalhart and pro-
Washington.—A sharp difference
along political lines has developed in
the senate over the proposed impeach-
ment of Judge Robert W. Archbald of
the commerce court. Many senators,
Including influential republicans fa-
vor deferring the trial until after the
November elections, contending that
ample time should be given to prepare
for the hearing of the impeachment
charges and that many senators are
needed at home to look after their
political fences.
Other senators, among whom are
Messrs. Simmons, Bailey and Reed, all
democrats, urge that impeachment
proceedings should be taken up as
soon as the house shall prefer charges,
irrespective of the personal comfort
and convenience of senators.
The thirteen articles of Impeach-
ment each an accusation, were pre-
sented to the house Monday with the
announcement that their consideration
would be demanded. Speaker Clark
emphasized the solemnity of the pro-
ceedings by having the house give un-
divided attention while the articles
were read by Representative Clayton
of Alabama, chairman of the judiciary
committee, which unanimously report-
ed them. Mr. Clayton dwelt on the
gravity of the charges. The commit-
tees report and resolution calling for
the impeachment, were ordered print-
ed without the voicing of a single ob-
jection.
The action constituted the ninth im-
peachment of a judicial or civil offi-
cial of the United States since the
foundation of the government and is
the first since the impeachment trial
of Judge Charles Swayne of the north-
ern district of Alabama who was
acquitted on February 27, 1905.
"The conduct of this judge has been
exceeding reprehensible and in mark-
ed contrast with the high sense of ju-
dicial ethics and probity that gener-
ally characterizes the federal judi-
ciary," the committee said in summing
up its findings of misbehavior in office
against Judge Archbald.
His business transactions while a
judge were held to unfit him for furth-
er service on the bench. Ae resolu-
tion was presented impeaching him
and bringing him for trial before the
United States senate.
' Your committee is of the opinion
that Judge Archbald's sense of moral
responsibility has become deadened,"
Bald the report. "He has prostituted
his high office for personal profit. He
has attempted by various transactions
to commercialize his potentiality as
judge. He has shown an overwhelm-
ing desire to make gainful bargains
with parties having cases before him
or likely to use his official power and
aocomplish this purpose he has not
hesitated to use his official power and
influence. He has degraded his high

Hobart has passed an ordinance pro-
viding for the purchase of a city park
cost $12,000 from the Hobart Indus-
trial company. The site includes 67V4
ncres and it is planned to construct a
reservoir there.
All bids for the construction of the
proposed city hall were rejected as all
w'ere considered too high and the city
engineer was Instructed to submit
new plans calling for a reduction In
the estimated cost.
Packing Plant Output Doubled
Oklahoma City—During the month
of June the Oklahoma City packing
plants shipped out a total of 658 cari
of fresh meats and packing house
products, as against 358 cars for the
coresponding month last year, an in-
crease of 300 cars, or 83.4 per cent.
All the months of the preBent year
show a good increase over the corres-
ponding months of last, but the Jims
records are prize winning and eclipse
those of any other month.
The outbound shipments of June
this year were 95 per cent of the live-
sV>ck receipts, while for June one
year ago they were not 50 per cent of
the receipts. Which shows that the
industry is working at a greater per
cent of its capacity, with the result
that the production is almost doubled
and 100 per cent more workers are be-
ing employed.
With freight rates gradually being
readjuste4 upon an equitable basis
ond the Oklahoma City industry be-
ing placed upon an equal footing, as
to reaching the consumer, with the
older established packing centers,
livestock men look for a record pro-
duction and outbound shipping season

igating.
