He cesaelessly plays to the galleries.

The New York Evening Telegram
says: "Colonel DenniB Flynn of Ok-
lahoma delegate from the territory
to the 'house of representatives is re-
quested pot to push hi3 inquiry into
the expenditures of Commissioner
General Ferdinand W. Peck at the
Paris exposition jufrt at this tiraq. The
commissioner general has troubles of
his own. lie was out the other day
when President Lotibet paid an offic-
ial visit'to the United States pavilion
Mr. Peck in addition to being on
some hands charged with discourtesy
has probably missed the chance of be-
ing decorated with the the Order of
the Jujuqe of the Fourth Class and
will now have to go through life with
no other decorations on his left chest
than a college fraternity pin badge
of a Bcbuetzenfe6t ditto McKinley

ting the world's fair 1893."
Speaking of bolters and the atro-
cious .habit of bolting political conven-
tionepthti 'Norman Voice says: "It is
said that Joe "Wisby tramped the
streets of Guthrie attempting to pro-
vent Democrats from going to hear
Bryan speak while in that city live
years ago. Now Joe wants to head
the delegation of Democrats from this
territory to nominate Bryan at Kansas
City Marvel not for on such men Col
Bryan's strength does not depend at
Kansas City men without fixed ideas
but who are forever found trying to
climb into the band wagon and get
their feet under the pie counter. Joe
would make a typical fusion candidate
for congress in thiB territory and YV.
H. French should be remioded of the
fact."
A SELDOM COSSIDKltKI) PHASE.
A writer in a recent issue of the
the New Yoik Journal call6 attention
to a phase 'of the Chinese question
which while it has received little pub-
He thought is nevertheless a very
important and unique one. It is that
if the powers do not partition China
China may in time to come partition
the .owere.
He sets forth that with her popula-
tion oMP'000000 people she could or-
ganizeaq trmy which would success-
fully contest not only European supre-
macy in the orient but imperil the in-
dependence of the Caucasian countries
themselves. At first blush this state-
ment appears propost rous but a
closer review of the situation and ob-
servation of the writer's arguments

bility. Japanf now a second rate

stitus of the Mongolian empire. Tue
pcple are of practically the same ex-
traction and naturally possessed of
the same capability s. Just asJapin
responded with miraculous quickness
to the virtus of western ideas it is pes
slblc that once it is thoroughly inocu-
lated into the vast domain of China
that country may throw off the yoke
of antiquity and develop into powerful
aggresion even more rapidly than did
its island neighbor.
And such a development on the part
of China would be of vaster import
than the progression of Japan. With
her millions of inhabitants her almost
interminable seacoast her boundless
resources and that practical homo-
geneity which civilization would bring
to her now disintegrated tribes she
would constitute not a single world
power but the power of the world.
And then conceding for the sake of
argument that the ambition and hos-
tility of her leaders would keep pa:e
with the military growth of the nation
we see an unpleasant possibility in the
dim future. An army which this new
China would be capable of putting
forth properly equipped could subju-
gate the allied forces of the white race
in an inconsiderable space of time. Is
it not reasonable to suppose that
should such a contingency present it-
self the conquerors would thrust their
religion and customs on the subdued
nations?
This is one of the grave aspects of
the present situation. Of course the
quickening touch of civilization may
never penetrate China un:il it is
brought by the white aggressors.
Again it is probable that the genluB
of the dominant race will always have
at hand a solution for the most ab-
struse problems; but it is worth while
considering this feature and it is pos-
sible that it may figure in the motives
which are to actuate the concerted op-
erations of the powers.
Roosevelt was his own iconoclast
llis wabbly policy grieved his friends
who were trying to believe in him. He
will make a hit on the stump
and to the small boy and some
small men in the land run a close race
with 'Buffalo Bill" for the Wild West
popularity premiership but he has
discarded the high minded attributes
that made him admired for those of
the machine politician and stands to-
day a flirt a political flirt ana no
prize beauty at that.
Sknatok Fokaker is among tho3
who have returned to Washington dis-
gusted and d'smayed. He claims that
he has been betrayed by the president
and by Ur.una who is evidently plan-
ning to put Major Dick In his.place in
the senate two yearB hence. With
Dick as bis colleague Hanna would
have no rival in Ohio. The immediate
point of Foraker's disgust is in the ig-
noring in the national platform of the
Porto Uican tiriff bill fathered by
him at McKinley's direct request. He
was promised that he should be chair-
man of the committee on platform and
should write a plank endorsing the
abandonment of the "plain duty"
proposition. The fact that the plat-
form does not even mention the mat-
ter 6hows that the president has
Hopped again and is now probably op-
posing or is at least disavowing re-
sponsibility for the b 11 he forced on
congress.

IE DALE 01 IHE VE10
AVInit Ho TliinkH of llerkey's Position on
tho Tulopnoiiu Vruitttlilrio
A reporter for tho Leader requested
Judge Dale to give his views with ref
erence to the veto message of Mayor
Berkey relative to the te'ephone ordi-
nance and in reply thereto he said:
"We areirequently asked what we
think of the mayor's veto of the tele-
phone ordinauce and the reasons ad-
vanced in support thereof and are
glad to avail ourselves of an opportun-
ity to give to the public our viewB.
"The first and principal objection
wh'ch appears in the veto message is
baBed upon the ground that our fran-
chise means a double system of tele-
phones. This objection is not well
taken as nearly all the patrons of the
present system have subscribed to
ours with the exception of five or six
all we were able to sec and present
with our list signed with us for the
'phones and each of those not Bigning
stated that when we put our piant in
operation they would patronize us.
Our subscription list is open fur in-
spection and will verify this state-
ment. This being true the granting
of a franchise would simply mean the
substitution of a cheaper and better
sjBtcm for the one now in operation.
It is true that in large cities where
the BtlL company has been in opera-
tion for some an independent Bystem
means dual telephones for a time but
this result fol ows beeause the inde-
pendent company is not able in the
first instance to substitute new for all
the old 'phones in use and in all cases
where a new plant is put into opera-
tion which offers better and cheaper
service it rapidly supercedes the old
and in a short time the more expens-
ive and poorer service is driven out.
Here by re'dson of the fact that
practically all the persons now using
would if given an opportunity take
onrs there would be no reason for
keeping both plants running. Our in-
formation from other cities which
have granted franchises to indepen-
dent companies is to the effect that the
independent companies are well bus-
tained by the public and that they re-
sult In great saving of expense to
those using phones.
The preseut franchise has thirteen
years yet to tun in this city. Tbey
now have about one hundred and fifty
subscribers. Other cities with popula-
tions equal to that of Guthrie use from
400 to 800 phones where they are
placed at the prices we propose to fur-
nish them. We estimate that at our
prices Guthrie would use at least 300
pbpnes and that there is a nece-sity
here for that number. At the rates
we propose to furnish them we would
save on an average over the present
cost seventy-five cents per month on
each phone or S-700 a year. In the
thirteen years which the present fran-
chise has yet to run the ordinance
which the mayor has vetoed would
6ave the citizens of Guthrie a sum of
money amounting to 635100. More
money than it cost us to get both our
new railroads; as much money as it
will cost to officially sewer the busi-
ness districts of this city; as much as
it will cost to get an independent line
of railway to build into Guthrie or
nearly enough to put up a wing of a
capitol building. And as we increase
population the saving would be cor-
respondingly greater.
It is also 6tated In the veto message
that the Incorporators are largely non-
residents. This is incorrect. The
records show that they are McNeal
Bierer McGuire Noble and myself
all of whom excepting Noble arc
residents of Guthrie. The fact how-
ever that most of us reside here is not
urged as a reason why the franchise
should be granted as we are asking
no favors on that account but are
urging our right to a franchise wholly
upon its merits.
Telephones have in modern business
life become a necessity. Their value
depends largely upon the number of
persons who use them and improved
and cheaper service not only results in
a caving of money to the individual
subscriber but because of cheap
phones many more persons are enabled
to take them thereby giving to each
subscriber much more for his money
in the way of telephone connection
than he can get from the present com-
pany. Mr McDaniel the agent for the
present company in bis argument to
the council in opposition to our pro-
posed ordinance distinctly stated that
they were making no money In fur-
nishing phone6at the priceB they were
getting and he offered no encourage-
ment whatever for cheaper rates under
their system ; and it now remains for
the council to 6 ay whether the ol'.izens
of Guthrie may during the coming 13
years save to themselves enough
monej to get another railroad or build
a college or to secure any other enter-

pris3 or work of a public character
with the money they could save under
our franchise.
We have submitted what we believe
to be a purely business proposition ;
there is nothing of sentiment in it.
Wo have by our investigation reached
the conclusion that we could put in a
modern and perfect system of tele-
phones at greatly reduced prices and
upon the money which wo place in the
enterprise derive reasonably fair re-
turns. A very large number of the
citizens of Guthrie have subscribed for
phones in case we can have a fran
chise. If the franchise Is granted they
will save a considerable sum of money
each year add the phones will be more
largely distributed and in operation
throughout this city in the future. It
now remains with the council to say
whether or not they are entitled to
this relief from the exactions of the
presentcompany."

If you've something to sell that re-

come and investigate. Human nature
is much the Fame the world over and
if you tell them of it curiosity and
self-interest will cause tbem to inves-
tigate. Telling of it in your advertising is
the economical and surest way to ac-
quaint the largest number for all
readers are buyers and the most intel-
ligent and most profitable class of pat-
rons. The great men wno best succeed
are those who perbistently and Intelli-
gently advertise who keep their light

Telling it to the Leader passes it
