fantastic pen of our dear governor.
It Is a curiosity, standing in a class
by itself, excelling the exaggeration
of either Mark Twain or Petroleum
V. Xasly, but lacking the scintilla or
truth they contained.
j The intelligent voters of the state
hould reaent the presumption of
gross ignorance that the governor
1 puts upon them by sending among
I them this volume of modern fairy
tales.
WHAT'S THE ANSWER?

Does Shawnee want the big shows
'at the Becker this season?
J There hare already Ven 'wo big
shows here. The patronage of both
' <as most discouraging. It is a moral
certainty that unless better patron-
i ,ge Is accorded the big attractions,
I the Becker will have to be closed to
jail good shows. A house can not run
I with the kind of patronage with
'which tbe season has started out.
Manager Franlng baa worked hard
\'o build np the show business bere,
jbelieving that there was a demand
I for the best on the road. He has eve-
; ry reason to believe that he is mista-

The next first-class attraction should
be greeted with a full house.

WHAT HAS BEKN GAINED?
Presumably tiie orators at the Pos-
tal conrention will speak glibly and
fluently. They are accustomed to
free delivery.
The political conservationists fiddle
while the forests burn. More thous-
ands of acres of valuable timber de-
stroyed in the northwest.
It is no reflection to say that when
New York's election comes off, Dix's
land will not be a happy one. He is
likely to land in the soup.
The democratic candidate for gov-
ernor of New York says he will
make "no spectacular prance about
the state." Now, what ii^ the world
is this man driving at?
The country is highly prosperous,
but your political "progressive"
scorns the admonition to "let well
enough alone." His motto is "Agi-
tate." To h—1 with business."
Here is a sample of democratic
c-ampaign argument: "Who is Lee
Cruce going to defeat for governor?
Joe McNeal." Quite an interesting
bit of logic, Isn't it?
Colonel Roosevelt's explanation
that the Saratoga tariff plank is not
as he would have whitten it is an
amazing confession. Is it possible
that the colonel was not the whole
cheese?
In his London remarks, Dr. Cook
says nothing about there being no
records buried on Mount McKinley.
It is believed, however, that the doc-
tor has one he would like to bury
somewhere.
"A prophet is not without honor
except in his own country." Some of
the county officers are considered big
men in the south end of the county,
but it takes south-end preachers to
stir thin£B up in Shawnee.
Shawnee is sure to have a pros-
perous and lively fall seasou. The
big universities are being built,
Shawnee is becoming more and more
the great market place for a large
portion of central Oklahoma, the city
is surrounded by bounteous crops and
everything is verily comiug our way.
Last Sunday there was a public
funeral in Los Angeles of seventeen
!'of the twenty men or more who, eight
days before, were murdered by those
who dynamited the building of the
Los Angles Times. This funeral was
, held in Temple auditorium, which
was crowded to its capacity, with
thousands on the outside unable to
gmin admittance. In its very simpli-
city the ceremony emphasized Xhe
horror which occasioned it. The thea-
tre curtain was raised and disclosed
the fourteen caskets in which the re-
mains of the seventeen victims had
been placed. The scene was so im-
pressive that many persans were ov-
ercome and professional nurses were
busy in the crowd caring for the af-
fected ones.
If in all that crowd who attended
[this funeral there was a single per-
Ison who had knowledge of the con-
spirators that dynamited the Times
building, must he not have shudder-
ed in self-accusing terror at what had
been wrought? Those pathetic cas-
kets and the weeping families of the
dead represented the fruits of a cow-
ardly vengeance. The fourteen mute
caskets, the wailing widows and the
helpless children bereft of fathers
and natural protectors appealed in
dull despair for justice. If these cof-
fins and these widows and children
embodied the "victory" for which the
conspirators strove, thenr Indeed was
their work complete. The dead who
lay in those grim caskets were for-
ever beyond the reach of their earth-
ly enemies. But nearly all of the
dead left families who are now
thrown upon the world to shift for
themselves as best they can. Most
of these widows, probably, will be
doomed to toil and suffer, that their
children may not want for bread.
What a triumph was this! What a
"vindication" of a "principle!" What
monument to the "dignity" of la-
bor! *
Few people who have ever been
brought into contact with members
of the Typographical Union believe
that the awful outrage infliced on
the men employed by the Los An-
geles Times wag sanctioned by any
printers' organization. Members of
the Typographical Union are not hu-
man fiends. As a rule, they are hon-
est men and good citizens. But it is
pretty generally believed that th#re
were hot-headed and reckless persons
who tried to advance the cause of un-
ionism by committing this terrible
deed of wholesale murder. In any
event, no man with a right to claim
kinship with humanity can contem-
plate these foureen caskets and not
ask himself if anything has been
gained to labor by this suffering and
misery and the blighting of innocent
lives.—Kansas City Journal.
Johnny Evers, one of the star infielders of the Chicago Cubs, who
owing to recent injuries, wUl not be able to play in the world's cham-
pionship series, and on this account many backers of the Chicago Cubs
are now hedging by getting down on the Athletics.
