A Detroit man Is suing hln wife for

It Is said that no onu can love Gov-
ernor Johnson of Minnesota for the
enemies ho has made because be
hasln't made any. If thu democrats

however he will become ijulte lov-
able on account of IiIh new enemies.

Secretary tSnrflebl seems to have a
better Idea of thu needs of Indian
Territory than tils predecessor. The
fact that ho Is out spoken for the re-
moval of restrictions Is grntlfvlng lo
thu people nml his recommendations
to congress means something. The
meeting hero was not of a political
nature. Democrats nml republicans
nllke took part In his entertainment.
Koine of the republicans expressed
disappointment In his speech for the
reason that hu refused to dUcuss
state politics and lend his support to
tho republican ticket. Ills speech did
not comu up to tho expectations ot
tho politicians; as n vote maker for
the (5. O. P It whb a miserable failure
but from a business standpoint his
remarks were appreciated. Mr. Fraiitz
was also silent on the political sltua
tlon and the tour of the heavy weights
through this i-cctlou will not add so
much as one vote to the republican
state ticket.

Tin city of Muskogee In the new
state of Oklahoma which this ear
will entertain the Traus-Mlsslsslppl
commercial congress Is one of the
marvels of the Western country for
Its rapid growth. It Is the gateway ot
the great Southwest and its rate of In-
crease month by month Is without pre-
cedent. Klght ears ago as the place
while was transacted all the business
of the government with the civilized
tribes the city had 1500 population. It
has now over 30000. In 1910 It will
have at least 50.000. The city Is ex-
panding along broad lines. Streets are
paved and elegantly lighted ltapld
transit and all the other advantages of
a modern city are to be had. As the
head of navigation on the Arkansas
river Muskogee Is destined In the
near future to become one of the
great cities of the Tr.ms-Mlsslsslppi
country. Conspicuous among the many
business structures that are going up
on every hand Is tho hnndonio stone
nml brick convention hall which is be
lug erected fur the sessions of the
Commercial t'ougrobs The hall has n
seating capacity of 0000.
DEVELOPING A DISEASE.
It Is strange what a deleterious ef-
fect tho sanitary prlsours and the en-
forced wholesomu slid regular diet
have upon botnu of tho prisoners that
are sent thero to expiate their crimes.
Among the latest noted prisoners to
fall n victim to the disease Is John I'
(laynor who Is confined In tho mili-
tary prison at Macon Cla for the
crime of robbing the hand that fed
him. (laynor was In charge of the har-
bor Improvement work of the govern-
ment nml whll thus engaged Is charg-
ed with having stolen millions of dol-
lar. To escape prosecution he and
his partner fled to Canada and It Is
not set forth that the rigors of the
climate In that country had any bad
effectl upon the fugitives. During the
long tuid tedious fight In thu courts to
secure a conviction of the prisoners
(laynor a health was about as good as
could bu expected and It Is said that
he even enjoyed tho delicacies which
he was allowed to buy with some of
tho money hu had saved. Hut now
that tho last legal resource has been
exhausted and the noted prisoner has
commenced his sentence which by
way was light enough he suddenly en-
velops a remarkable case of consump
tion. Of course being a sufferer from
the disease It Is quite natural that a
movement bu set on foot to secure hln
release In order that he may be allow-
ed to die at home. It may be that
the movement will securo some sup-
porters and It may be that In time
It will bu successful but In view of
the nnturu of (iaynor'K crime ami the
great cost lo which hu put thu gov-
ernment to securu his conviction It
should bu stipulated In tho event that
hu Is pardoned s that ho may die at
home that hu proceed to die as soon
after hu Is released as the require-
ments of decency will permit. Any-
thing less certain than this will call
forth the charge of favoritism and a
prostitution of Justice. Fort Worth

HASKELL AND PROHIBITION.
There am a few people In the statu
who aro taking Mr. ilaskell to task
for his stand on the prohibition ties
tlon. They assert that hu came out
boldly on the prohibition ticket In tho
primary election and that he Is not do-
ing so In the general election. Those
who have taken thlB view of tho situ
utlon must remember that In the pri
mary election Mr. Ilaskell had the
right to make his own platform there
was no onu but himself responsible
for thu result of his taking any stand
he desired to take. Hut nun' In the
general election the conditions are
quite different. He Is now running on
a platform madu by thu democratic
party and not by himself. That demo
cratic platform sna tho prohibition
question Is a moral ami not u political
question and that the people have u
right to pass upon this principle uu
restrained by any political platform
Mr. Ilaskell has no right to go beyond
his party. He must run on the plat
form that was written by the demo
crats of his state or refuse the uoinl
nation if he were to make a political
question out of the prohibition Isstii
he would forfeit the support ()f the
parly which nominated him. Mr. Has
kell will a) at any time on what side
of the question lie stands. Ho is not
a political coward In any sense of the
word. In his speeches hu says that
every man has the right to pass upon
this question without regard to part)
affiliation and that as lar as he is
personally concerned he will cast his
own ballot for statewide prohibition
He does not discuss the whisk prob
Icm ami only briefly refers to it when
bis audience forces It upon him by
propounding questions. Mr. Ilaskell
Is right He cannot do otherwise and
iuii on the democratic platform ami
those who have criticised htm on this
score do not understand thu situation
Willi the masses of the people
the constitution Is not being discussed
The people are satisfied with the pro-
Kised Instrument and will vote for Its
ratification. Conditions are different
with regard to the prohibition ques-
tion. It Is becoming the sole topic
of coinersatlon with the farmers In
Oklahoma when the) are thrown to-
gether at neighborhood meetings and
picnics. The discussions often reach
the stage when blows are exin-cted to
follow. With the Indian Territory por-
tloa of the state the situation Is dif-
ferent. Prohibition reigns here su-
preme for twenty-one ears and the
people are not so much interested In
the outcome of tho election us those
who live In Oklahoma.

With the removal of the business
firms which the statutes of Texas are
running from that state with the do-
t'clopmcut of oil and natural gas
which Is now being pushed with all
possible vigor with the further de-
velopment of the asphalt fields that
lie contiguous to Ardmore and with
tho advent of the lines of railroad
that are now knocking at the doors of
the city there Is no reason to doubt
but that Ardmore will double Its pop
illation within the next two years
THE OZARKA OANOUET.
Tho Ozarka banquet tcnduid the
democratic editors of the statu by the
campaign committee will result In
much good to the party. It brought
thu foices of the party together out
lined the work that Is to be done tne
best method of producing the dslred
results were discussed ami a blazing
flro of enthusiasm was kindled among
the democratic workers. Thu ban-
quet was all that was Implied In the
name. Ozarkn water was served ex-
clusively. The llil was on entirely too
tight to please tho thirsty fellows from
south of thu Canadian but the boys
tix kthe matter In a philosophical way.
They realize that the press has a cer-
tain Important work to do In this cam-
paign ami they are willing to do It.
The banquet board was nn extremely
plain one. No corps of waiters were
kept running until after midnight
serving the ulncheon In courses. No
menu cards dangled from the coat
lapels. Thu banquet was onu of busi
ness rather than of feasting. Thomp-
son Cassldy Barrett Wynnds and
others of the committee bad outlined
a certain work o bu done and then
saw that It was accomplished. The
specchmnklng by the editors was sup
plemented by speeches from Lameron.
Prultt and Williams.
Reports from all over the state In
dicate that the full democratic
strength will be polled for tho entire
state ticket. Tho people are dljgusted
with tho attacks mado on the consti-
tution by the republicans and they
will resent these attackB by voting
the democratic ticket.
The republican ure centering their
fight on the head of tho ticket. Thuy
entertain no hopes of controlling the
legislature or of electing nny candi-
date on the sUite ticket except the
governor.
Thu campaign committee Is now
getting down to real business. The
perfect organization of thu democratic
party through Its county committee
man and their assistants affords th
key to thu control of thu statu. These
committeemen occupy very Important
positions In thu party and upon their
efforts depends the success of the
party September 17.

Ardmore Is proud of tho distinction
given It In the visit of Secretary (Jar
field and those who are campaigning
tho Btate with him. We appreciate Mr.
Garfield's visit to this section not
from a viewpoint of politics but rath
er from a standpoint of business. It
matters not bow bard our representa
lives labor In congress for the removal
of restrictions that boon will never bo
given this teriltory until tho secretary
of tho Interior recommends It. When
Mr. (larfleld thoroughly acquaints
himself with the condition here there
Is every reason to hetlevo that ho will
will make such recommendation
While Secretary (larfleld Is In the
state primarily on a political mission
for the republican party he Is at tin
same time making observations with -i
view of giving our people a better ad
ministration as far its his office is
concerned and it Is this feature of his
visit that the people are most Inter'
ested tu. Tho peoplu have already
made up their minds ns to how they
will cast their ballots In the approach
lug election and like true Americans
they will vote as best milts their con
science and tho democratic party has
nothing to fear from Mr Garfield's

New York Aug. 19. ew York may
try the experiment of night delivery
of mall. Georgu ven I.. Meyer post
master general discussing the matter.
said:
"There Is nn enormous accumula
tion of mall In thu evening and the
first mall In the morning Is very
heavy and almost nn over de-
livery. I am going to try to have the
extra mall delivered at night In the
residential districts. In London It is
posslblo to mull a letter In the morn-
Ing and recelvo nn nnswer that night.
It should he tho same here. One esti
mate I have received requires 22C ex
tra carriers. I Intend to appoint a
commission to investigate the matter.
This commission will consist of somo
ofllclals from Washington and some
from this city.
"Wo are going to experiment with
the slot machines for stamps and wo
hope to hnve them so they will sell
one two and flve-cent stamps. They
are a success In Germany. We will
try them In this city and In Washing-
ton. If they nre successful they will
be Installed all over the country. That
will make It necessary to build a gov-
ernment plant In which to manufac-
ture them.
"I am going to recommend tho es
tablishment of a domestic parcel post
which will not Interfere with the ex-
press companies. The details nre not
ready to describe. In England and
France tho limit is eleven pounds. I
shall recommend to congress that It
ho ten pounds hero. If that Is con-
sidered too much I shall make It five
pounds. Postal notes are also neces-
sary and I am going to seo that they
are In use again. The original which
was discarded made the note payable
'to bearer.'. 1 will recommend that
It bo mado payable to tho Individual
desired. The limit I ttlnk should
be from $2.50 to $5.
"In my Investigations I have found
many persons buying money orderB
and making them payable to them-
selves. That Is a good scheme but
a better one I believe will bo to
establish a postal savings hank sys-
tem nml I shall so recommend. It
will encourage thrift and saving.
"One feature which will bo em-
bodied In my annual report Is that 1
havo decided not to advocate nny In-
creaso of rates on nny class of pos-
tage. That will leave tho domestic
postage exactly where It Is. Another
Important matter which 1 am consid
ering Is tho reduction of tho postal j
rates to countries directly served by
steamships from this country. The
rato now Is Ave cents each half
ounce I am In favor of reducing It
to tw o cents each half ounce. We '
can send a letter from tho Atlantic i
lo the I'aclllc and to our colonies for
two cents Groat Britain can send a I
letter around tho world to Its col-
onles for a penny tho equlvnlent of 1
two cents This movement will not
require nny legislation but can be
done by tho Joint action of the postal

' rural deliveries aud their oxmii-p hut
I nm In favor of Increasing them
everywhere. Take for example these
figures: In 19?. the first year there
was any rurnl delivery only $1G00U
was spent. The deficit In tho entire
postal system that year was 8 million
dollars. Ten years later or 1006 the
I rural deliveries had expended 25 mil-
i Hon dollars. Hut the outstanding de
ficit that year was 10 million dollars
only two million more. The llgures
show the Immense necessity of the
rural delivery.
"This year the cost of rurnl deliv-
eries will be vith Increases In sal-
aries nnd expense about 35 million
dollars. The rei-ort of the depart-
mcnt for tho first quarter showed
thero was no deficit whatever. That
shows a great increase In the re-
celptB. I will not recelvo the report
for the second quarter until October
but everything points to the deficit
falling off very materially this year.

The rural delivery educates the fn-rr.-
