SOCIALIST MEETING.
The Claremore Socialistf pulled off
an overflow meeting Saturday evening
which waa entertaining and helpful to
the Socialists of Claremore, also some
of the aturdy Democratic buainesa men
and Republican spellbinders listened
with the respect that a lady is entitled
to to Miss Esther Edelson, of Illinois,
spoke from 7:40 to 10 o'clock, on tha
subject "Resolved, That we Disfran-
chise the Men and give Women the
ballot." She proved concluaively that
that the men had made such a mess of
polities that they had ahown themselves
wholly incapable of handling the affairs
of state and nation, and all seemed to
agree with her aa ahe proceeded with
her wonderful reasoning and a good
collection waa Uken at the close to
ahow that Socialiata were not unchris-
tian and to help her on with the good
work. She invited anyone who wanted
to ask any queationa and a good many
aaked questions and Miaa Edelson
quickly and logically snswered them.
Sunday afternoon Miss Esther Edel-
son delivered a lecture at tha court
houae which was greatly enjoyed by a
good crowd and more queationa ware
aaked which waa anawered to the satis-
faction of the queationers.

TEDDY SAYs YES!
T. Roosevelt says he will take the
Republican nomination for preeident,
but there are many wise politicisns
who rather doubt the statement. They
don't doubt Teddy's ambition but doubt
his ability to win the plume. It is be
liaved that be has waited too long to
make his announcement and then
Roosevelt never had any strength in
the last anyway. Roosevelt is the
idol of a lot of rough riders in the west
but is not even given serious consider
a' ion in the east where the votes come
from. The enthusiasm in politics al-
ways cornea from the weat and the
votes from the eaat and the latter us-

An exchange speaks of Roosevelt aa
an "all-aroand" man. He ia and al-
ways has been an all round man. He

the sussers and then go into pulpits and
preach with the preachers. Whsn he
was president he was both the execu-
tive and the legislative departments
and he tried to be the judicial. While

While he was police commissioner he
violently enforced the Sundsy closing
law, and st the same time as violsntiy
advocated the repfal of the very law
he enforced.
Saved at San Juan Hill from destruc-
tion and even disgrace by the intrepid
charge ot a regiment of negroes, he
repaid the debt and in cidentally made
himself >olid in certain parts of the
South by drumming out of the army in
disgrace s whols battalion of innoeent
blacks because he could'nt get the
names of half a Joaen men who were
said to have a hot up Brownsville.
He lauds the kind gentle and patient

made a radical, violent, revolutionary
speech in Ksnsaa a year and half ago,

Nobody ever pounded Bryan harder
than Rooeevelt did. Yet Rooeevelt haa
stolen every political dud that Bryan
ever wore, except those reduced to ab-

Ot han-

Hughes, associate justice of ths
psns Court ot the United Statee;
Presldsat A. Lawrence Lowell of Har-
vard University, and Mr. Harry A.
Wheeler, president of the Association
of Commerce of the city of Chicago.
In commenting oa their findings the
preeident says:
"The report discloses a most ex-
haustive and critical Inquiry into the
subject of second-class mall matter
after adequate notice to all the par-
ties la Interest. Extensive bearings
were held by the commission, at which
the Postmaster General and the Sec-
ond and Third Assistant Postmasters
General appeared and submitted tor-
mal statements presenting the varloua
contentions of the Poet Office depart-
ment. together with all the relevant
official data and evidence relating to
the cost of handling and transporting
second-class mall matter. Certain of
the leading magaxlnes were represent-
ed by counsel, while various other pub-
lications appeared by representatives
"The findings of the commission
confirm the view that the cost of
handling and transporting second-
claas mall matter is greatly In excess
of the postage paid, and that an ln-
crease In the rate is not only Justified
by the facte, but Is desirable."
Cost Inquired Into.
"The commission reports thst the
evidence gubm.ited for Its considera-
tion Is sufficient to warrant a finding
of the approximate cost of handling |
and transporting the several claasea
of second-class mail known as pald-
at-the-pound-rate, free-in-county, and
transient matter. In so far as rslstes
to the services of transportation, post-
office cars, railway distribution, rural
delivery, and certain other Items of
cost, but thst It is without adequate
data to determine the coat of the gen-
eral post-office service and also what
portion of the cost of certain other
aggregate services Is properly ssslgn-
able to second-class mall matter. It

President Taft again concurs In tto
recommendation of the Postmaster
General for the adoption of a parcel
post system, suggesting the Inaugura-
tion of such a service on rural routes
and In the city delivery service first.
Ownership of Telegrsph Opposed.
Hitchcock's recommendation for
government ownership of the tele-
graph lines under the supervision of
the postal service Is not approved of
by the president. Regarding this he
says:
"There la only one recommendation
In which I enn not agree—that Is one
which recommends that the telegraph
lines In the I'nlted States should be
made a part of the postal system and
operated In conjunction with the mall
system This presents a question of
government ownership of public utili-
ties which are now being conducted by
private enterprise under franchises
from the government. I believe that
the true principle Is thst privste en-
terprise should be permitted to carry
on such public utilities under due regu-
lation as to rates by proper authority
rather than that the government
should Itself conduct them. This prin-
ciple I favor because I do not think It
In accordance with the best public pol-
icy thus greatly to Increase the body
of public servants. Of course. If It
could be shown that telegraph service
could be furnished to the public at a
leaa price than It Is now furnished to
the public by telegraph companlea,
and with equal efficiency, the argu-
ment might be a atrong one In favor
of the adoption of the proposition But
I am not satisfied from any evidence
that If these properties were taken
over by the government they could be
managed any more economically or
any more efficiently or that this would
enable the government to furnish serv-
ice at any smaller rate than the pub-
lic are now required to pay by private
companies "
Tho report of the Postmaster Gen-
eral Is full of statements of changes
In the organisation and methods of the
postal service made alnce the last an-
nual report, and of tentative drafts of
Iegtelation embodying certain recom-
mendations of the department which
need legislation to carry them out It

the revenues for the fiscal year ended

amounted to S2S7.660.T0fi.48. making a
surplus of 1219,118.It.
The report shows that the postal
