It is said that Harrison ruefully
robbed the seat of his pants and bark-
ed out of the worn. eyeing Uncle Jake
with awe, and promising that he
would not be a bad boy again.
As a matter of fact Jake is right in

is payiBg a visit to Oklahoma just
now. Grimes is interested in a new
city on the Pacifie coast which he
claims will grow to be a wonder, and

in Oklahoma for a final departure to
his new home in the early spring.
Grimes missed his first vote since he
came to Oklahona, last September,
because of his non-residence. We
hope that Grimes does well in his
new location.

Henceforth, unless he publicly apol-
ogize to us in his paper, we oppose the

tinually to public obluquoy.
Secretary Taft, In a recent speech
gave some decided views on that sub-
ject, in support of what this paper
believes to be the facts. A few ex-
tracts from his speech follow, for the
purpose of giving our readers the
ideas of Mr. Taft under that head:—
'It is said'that the administration
has arraigned the whole business com-
munity as dishonest. I deny it. The
President lias condemned the law-
breakers. He has convinced those
who have unlawfully accumulated
enormous power and capital that they
are not humane. He has put the
fear of the law in their hearts. They
have been acute enough to attempt
to protect themselves by giving the
impression that his action has been
directed against the whole business
community, It is true that the busi-
ness men of our community, as a
whole, are honest and their methods
are sound. The President has never
si'd otherwise. Indeed, it is chiefly
in the interest of the great body of
honest business men that he has
made his fight for lawful business
methods."
The papers aie making "much ado
over nothing" because a Denver belle
married a full blood blanket Indian.
Don't blame lier a bit. Accustomed,
as she Is, to the milk and water
shirt fronts of society, the aboriginal
instinct in her longed for a man: that
sfie got one is very fortunate indeed.
Much better for her to marry a
healthy Indian than a tubercolo>ed
specimen of anaemic social degener-
acy.
Those post office receipts show that
Enid is fast clamboring toward the
sky-line of progress. People don't
spend money for stamps unless they
need them, hence, stampsalesare the
best indexes of the business of a city.
According to a recent statement of
the postmasbet, Enid has enjoyed
about a 20 percent growth in the past
ear. Good old Enid! Just stay by
it and all will be well.
Colonel Marsh M. Murdock, one of
the greatest conservators of Wichita's
progress, died at his home in that city
Thursday after a short Illness. Mur-
lock came to Kansas shortly after Its
admission to the union and has ever
since, been Inwoven with the affairs
of the state. He has held numerous
pnblic positions, being on Ills third
term as postmaster at Wichita. As
everybody in the southwest Is aware
to Murdocks' work in the Wichita
Eagle Is due much of the advancement
of southern Kansas and a great deal
to do with Oklahoma's developement,
while it has been the biggest factor In
the developement of Wichita. It was
Murdock who "called a halt" on wild-
aatism in Wichita's boom days, and
completely flattened frenzied specula-
tion In one day with an editorial. As
a personality Murdock was rather
cold and distaut. He did not mingle
or mix but wrapped In a quiet digni-
ty, he attended to his own affairs, to
i few close friends and despatched his
intercourse with the world generally
in as few words as possible. He rare-
ly attended a town meeting, but he
ilways knew what was going on, was
ilways right in his conclusions and
ibsolutely fearless lo his advocacy of
.vhat he believed right for Wichita,
right for the nation at large. The
Events exceedingly regrets the death
if Colonel Murdock, because It reallr.es
that he represented a type of fearless-
less and power in journalism, not to
oe bribed or corrupted, not to be ca-
joled, not to be controlled In cjrpor-
ite Interests, all too rare in our
cauntry.
OCK PREDICTION
The prediction of the Events Is that
the Republican State Committee will
this week, practically unanimously,
endorse Secretary Taft for the presi-
dency.
Also—
That the republican (committee for
this first district, will endorse Taft.
Also—
Tliat the republicans of Oklahoma
will select a Taft delegation to the
national convention, instructed to
vote for him.!

Cad Allard was In remeniscent
mood the other day and got off the
following:
"The last Napoleon lost Sedan, and
died ineiile because he went to tight
before he was ready. How many
young men aud women, when the
battle of life is on, will fail because
they were not prepared for the con-
test! It is education which enables
us to light from vantage ground.
They who do not havp it may not be
able to stand when the heavy charges
are made on them. Success must be
won, and how can it be done without
a drilled miHd, like a skillful genpral,
to lead the assault! Do not accept
ignorance or partial preparation as
your lot, If by any means you can es-
cape It. It Is not by jerks that the
load Is moved. It is the steady p«ill
th^t counts. Spasmodic getting
ready usually ends in no preparation
at all and consequent failure. The
studentwho goes to school regularly,
and adds to each day's acquisition a
little more knowledge, Is growiug, is
learning by a sinking fund upon which
he can draw In the future, and above
ail, lie isgaing mental muscle to en
able him to :amt>*t the difficulties to
his later life. Education is a growth.
If It be sudden, like that of a mush-
room, It will amount to as little, If it
be like that of the ofck It will be per
manent and useful."
The Daily Oklahoman did not for-
feit quite all our respect until they
published the following chestnut as
original, In its editorial columns:
"A farmer, on being presented with
cashier's checks, insisted upon having
"real" money, and was told those
were just as good, that they were
checks for the real stuff. "Huh," he
exclaimed, -'then I s'pose you would
say milk tickets were just as good as
real milk, and advise me to feed them
to the baby."
Even a chestnut is not so bad unless
It Is ancient and wormy, but the
above has been worn threadbare for
six weeks. It was launched just af
ter the cashier's checks came in vogue
and now only creates pity or derision.
For the Oklahoman to publish it as
original editorial is a crime almost as
great as that of '73 and the merchants
of the city ought to withdraw their
patronage from such an almanac.
It is said that the policy of the
administration had been directed for
the last tour years against organ ?.ed
capital and that it has thereby fright-
ened investors. I deny it. The course
of the administration has been direct-
ed against such organized ;capital as
was violating the statutes of the
United States—and no others."

Among Its sensible editorial obser-
vations the Medford Pat riot says:
"Congressman McGuire has many
irons in the fire. He has first of all
his own district to represent and care
for under the change to statehood.
The other members of congress from
Oklahoma depend upon him for advice
and information. The whole congress,
house and senate go to Bird Mc-
Guire for any Information desired
regarding Oklahoma. To these inter-
locutors are added the various depart-
ments interested in the new state's

that those who now venture to ad-
vance this propesitio have been for
more than a year contending that

fraud because it had no effect what^

a reduction of rates and no reduction
of rates followed."

Notwithstanding the exodus of
aliens from the United States to
their native lands within the past few
weeks, the ftgnresof the immigration
bureau for the month of November
shows an increase of twenty-flve per
cent over the corresponding month of
l!Wti. The total immigration for the
six months ending November 30 was
67s,;i74, an Increase of eighteen per
cei)t. Those who find cause for
alarm in the immigration question,
can find little comfort in the fact that
a temporary Industrial depression has
driven a comparatively few thousand
aliens back to ^Europe. With a return
to normal conditions the tide of im-
"Instead of making a panic, the
national policy of ending the lawless-
ness of corporations in interstate
commerce and of taking away their
powerof issuing, without supervision,
stocks and bonds, will produce a
change in their management and
remove one fruitful cause for loss of
public confidence."
Evidently the Tulsa World believes
that Clarence Douglas is attempting
the secession of the republicans of
Muskogee from the republican party.
Clarence is either being libeled or he
is a very bad boy.
J udging from that report from Con-
