President is to Marry.
Wood . v Wilson as a lov< , has
achieved a splendid success in cap-
turing one of the handsomest and
most lovable widows in the National
i apitai. .lame Humor toyed with the
story for a time, hut even the news-
paper men assembled for a special
event at the Press Club, gasped with
astonishment when the bulletin was
posted. The bride-elect is a prom-
inent social leader, owns the great
Galt jewelry store trat all visitors to
Washington have admired, and as the
“first lady of the land” has the nat-
ural chaim to attain eminent popu-
larity like that achieved by' Mrs.
Roosevelt and Mrs. Cleveland.’ After
the first -pasms so furprise Washing-
ton decided that “if the President
wants to marry again that it is his
own business,” and that—after all it
will be a fine thing for the country
and the Capital—and consequently,
since the Washingtonians were not
asked to give their consent, they have
nevertheless decided to gratuitously
offer tht 'amc in a hearty manner.
Dur New Battle Cruisers,
fn case of war with a foreign coun-
try the fleets of the United States'
Navy would be compelled to put to
sea and l,ght its enemy, since there
would be no hiding in secret places,
as has been the case with European
navies. This fact has no doubt been
largely responsible for the announce-
ment that President Wilson’s pro-
gram will include a request to Con-
gress for the construction of a battle
cruiser uperior in speed and power
to anything now afloat. Preliminary
designs for this class of vessel has
been prepared, and the administra-
tion plans for a battle cruiser that
will make thirty-five knots speed.
This is equivalent to a fraction over
forty land miles. The fastest battle
cruiser thus far built by any of the
powers is designed for not more than
thirty knots. Consequently, the Am-
erican battle cruiser will be able to
sail r^ngs around any foreign vessel
of similar type now in commission.
The cost of such a ship will be ap-
proximately eighteen million dollars.

Straw Votes.
A statement of the National Pro-
gressive Union based on the poll of
1200 veterans who attended the re-
cent encampment at Washington,
shows that 1020 of the veterans are
Reublicans and 171 are Democrats.
In 1812, 521 of them voted for Taft,
419 for Roosevelt and 200 for Wilson.
Justice of the Supreme Court, was

ation.
Let the Buyer Beware.
When some of the large merchants
of the country adopt the “one price
system,” it was hailed as a victory
for the buyer, who for ages had been
accustomed to being trimmed in pric-
es and goods in all sorts of stores.
Congressman Kelly, of Pennsylvania,
declares that the cut price system as
operated by many merchants “is a

PUBLICANS FI SK?
That was a startling departure from
the ordinary in politics even in Ok-
lahoma when the Republican State
Central Committee last week came
out and endorsed the Socialist Elec-
tion Law. This means that the two
parties, if the Republican voters can
be controlled by their leaders, are to
work in harmony and cahoots to put
over the Socialist election amendment
to the constitution. The Republi-
cans have nothing to bain by this al-
liance except as they hope it will em-
barrass the majority in the state.
They will admit that the Socialist
proposition is revolutonary and un-
republican but their leaders have al-
lowed themselves to believe that such
o law will seriously cripple the Demo-
crats in this state and, therefore, they
have pledged their party to give it

chaser was forced to make the rounds publicans in support of the Socialist
of the stores, compare the goods and
prices, and then, after finding the
articles desired, haggle with the mer-
chant until a price was agreed upon
between them—that meant that the
chances were all in favor of the con-
semer being cheated.” It is therefore
interesting to know the method of
plan may induce the Democrats to
initiate a bill that will restore, in a
measure, the old territorial method
of election hoards. Such a hill is
now being considered and it will have

the economy that will be possible

reasoning consumers in the interior i partisan board making strict and
of the country use in passing up the
local merchants, to part with their
money to the mail order house and
department stores. Mr. Kelly raises
the interesting point that in fair
methods of trade, th^ small retailer
“can compete with and outdistance
the big mail order house.” He shows j tation
mandatory provsions for the division
of representation on country and pre-
cinct hoards along the line of ma-
jority rule. Such a bill would give
Republicans the majority representa-
tion in Republican counties, it would
give Socialists the majority represen-
in Socialist counties and the
There is considerable consternation
owing to the slides in the Panama
Canal, and naturally a condition that
has already tied up the hundred boats
at the entrance of the big waterway
is very serious. However, in Wash-
ington where the entire circumstances
are appreciated there is not
that it costs a far greater percent to
run a mail order house or a depart-
ment store than it does to run a
small retail establishment, and he
concludes that the only reason why

goods has for thinking that he “gets

Many Democratic and Republican

will result in great economy in hold-

Y
sedation which was made last week j ^
by President Aley of the University j X
of Maine, was as much a compliment
to the state of Oklahoma as to the
man. When we consider that the
state of Oklahoma is scarcely eight
years old, that this hoard is c
posed of only nine members and that
there are 48 states in the Union, it is
a compliment all the more appre-
ciated.
It is not probable that Supt. Wil-
son knows personally any one of the
eight members who will he associated
with him in working out the methods
to be employed in teaching trift in
to public schools of America. Pres-
Aley, in making the appointment, had
to go by what has been done and
what is being done along this line in
the various states and the special
interest Supt. Wilson has taken in
teaching thrift in the Oklahoma
schools appealed to him.
The Oklahoma member of this -{-
board will bring to it much careful •••
thought and mature study along the X
very lines for which the hoard has Y
been appointed and for the accomp- »;•
lishment of which it will labor. X

At the same time this appointment j .j.
will give the world a better idea of | !
Oklahoma and the conditions under
which the state has labored and
should go far toward changing the
minds and opinions of people who,
because of radical and wild eyed
stories, moving pictures, hank rob-
beries and stickup men, have conclud-
ed that this wide-awake and progres-
sive state is the hot bed of ignorance
and the homo of the lawless. Okla-
homans believe that, although he will
be associated with the very best and
strongest school men of the Nation,
that the head of the Oklahoma
schools will reflect credit upon him-
self and people he represents and that
Pres. Aley will feel sure that in this
appointment he has made no mistake.}

do this since there is “ a new one born
