Knld admirers of Woodrow Wilson have or-
- ,,Ml,ed a dub and asked him to stop over there

iilnd of a democrat he has got to be by this time.
The Missouri Idea seems to be that they have
forgotten something in the Folk-Clark mix-up
and they want two candidates to explain which

republican state.
The report that Col. R. M. Johnston, of the

THFRK IS NO MTHKOGKE MAR.
A number of enthusiastic Okahoma corres-
pondents have estnblshed reputations as liar,
which i. bad for the communities which they
represent, as well as them.elve. and their pa-
pers. Without designating them by names which
would be recognised we may call them: "The
correspondent at Wayback," the "Blowvlll.
Mar," the "BunkumviUe faker," etc. Hut there
is no such thing as a Muskogee liar, or faker, or
newspaper correspondent who U hard to believe.
When anything goes out of here it is given full
crcdence. Newspaper men represent the metro-
politan dallies here and all the world knows It.
Also It la pretty well known that by the time any-
thing reaches the stage of publicity In Muskogee,
there Is something doing In the way of promotion,
llence reports of Industrial and commercial prog-
ress here are accepted at their face value in the
business world, which is becoming more and more
Interested in the phenomenal developments in re.
St. Louis, Kansas City, Dallaa and other met-
ropolitan Journals maintain correspondents In
Muskogee, who are giving this city much valuable
publicity. Fortunately it has not been the poli-
cy of these correspondents to feature wild-cat,
hot-air propositions in their nrtkles, and they
have built up a reputation for conservatism, with
the result that articles appearing In the metro-
politan press under a Muskogee date line are not
discounted as are article, emanating from some
other cities, wherfc exaggerated statements and
vivid Imaginations have taken the place or facts.
Muskogee Is featured In Industrial, musical,
financial and sporting news journals throughout
the Union. This class of advertising id ol' inesti-
mable benefit to this city, and attracts many new
citizens.
Muskogee is particularly fortunate in the ver-
satility of its citizens, especially1 In the mutter <•!
ability to secure space in representative publi-
cations throughout -the United States.
In tho October Issue of the Western Musical
Herald, tho recognized musical Journal ol the
West. Mrs. Claude L Steele of this city had a sign-
ed article on the National Federation ol Musical
Clubs of almost three columns In len«tli, in (.J-
dit'on to which under the head line of "Musko-
gee" wit) printed the program of the Muskosc--.
Ladles' Saturday Musical Club, and other artlcl s
of lntereit to music lovers generally.
In a tecent issue of "Bonds and Morl£:
appeared an entertaining article on the Trsir.s-
Mississippi Commercial Congress in which Mus-
kogee was prominently displayed, and a splendid
half-tone of A. C. Trumbo, incorporated in the
body of the article.
In last Sunday's Issue of the Kansas t lt> pa-
pers Muskogee was featured with extensive write-
ups and Illustrations, In connection with the com-
ing session of the Trans-Mississippi Congrc an,I
the last issue of the Manufacturers' Record pub-
lished at Baltimore, Md., carried a splendid half-
tone of Muskogee's new half-million-dollar Con t
House and Post Office, which was supplied by
the Commercial Club.

Because one of Jiis esteemed contemporaries
"takes hie pen in hand to land on the sucker,"
T. A. McNeal, of the Farmers' Mail and Breeze,
produces arguments to prove that there are all

and that his traditional exploiter, the grafter, is
himself somewhat of a sucker.

The eyes of the world arc on Jupit. r. Kaith-
beings are mightily interested an.l the moti ons
ones are making guesses. Here is a late para-
graph on the subject:
The planet Jupiter. whose volume is I.2T0
times that of the earth, and superior in dimen-
sions and weight to all the other planets put t -
gether, is Just now attracting the attention of
astronomers. M. Oiacoblni of the I'aiU obser-
vatory, who has made a special study of Jupiter,
has described a red spot which posscsies a rela-
tive fixity, but within the last year Its mobility
has increased to great proportions, ami its long-
titude by about thirty degrees. That is all that
we can say. scientifically. Is it really the forma-
tion of a new continent ' Can we draw this de-
duction from this phenomenon so diffi -nil to
pel«e'.' It is possible, but who can say to with
certainty? M. Camllle l'lainmarion, however, ex-
presses himself with fn. greater confidence in
tills matter. "We are assisting at the creation
of a world. Under our dasiled eyes a new world
la being created in the Infinity, and In Jupiter
we hail the world of the future."
Advocates of free tr ule generally as ••tune that
In iase there were a general abolition of tariff

ported would result rrom unrestricted compel!-
,lon. as a matter of fact there is no assurance
that anything of the kind would follow any more
than is the case with coffee now admitted free
of duty Combinations In different countries con-
trol various products. The case of th, omhlna-
tion by which the Rraslllan coffee planters is
exceptional and their method has been somewhat
unique. But similar plans might be adopted In
regard to other products In other countries. This
Is the age of combination. American capitalists
have built up great Industries and have been sue-
ccasful In their competition with foreign rivals
lu the markets of the world by reason of their
ability to make great combinations In response
to the demands of the limes. Hut thev are not

Ac.o.ding to the Railway Age Gazette, the
Canadian IMcilic U Jn th^ market tor 50,000 tons
stet 1 rails and the Central of Georgia has ord-
ered U0,000 - tons of ninety-lb. rails from the
Tenui't-m' Iron and Coal company and a num-
lo r of heavy orders of steel for different kinds
Ol' construction arc noted. Summarizing the con-
ditions In the ft'el trade; the Gazette says:
"Although the volume of business in the steel
industry Is ten per cent greater than the average
in the three 1.:.,' years of 1905, 1908 and 1907,
tho conditions arc not good, the productive eapa-
,-lty in. titling the tle.nand and there being no
price agreement New business is being book-
td which, were it not for the present low prices
would not have been received until after the first
of tho year, if the prices are not raised soon
the buyers will be well stocked up and business |
will be at a veiy low ebb when they are finally
Increased to normal."

The subject of currency reform is being ex-
tensively discussed, with special reference to the
Aldr t h plan" of which the Kansis City Jour- j
nal -ays that while it may not be the best systi m
concelvnhle It is "tb° best yet offered.' Then
after referring to the necessity for immediate
currency reform, the Journal concludes:
"The best posted financiers in the country
have given it as their opinion that a centra re-
stive association -which is the essence of ihc
Aldri. li proposal—will make panics impossible by
providing elasticity of currency and relieving the
rigidity of er. ill:. Surely such a relief from the
present cumbersome and panic-Inducing system
ought to appeal to all Intelligent citizen:.."
The negotiations for the ending of the Turko-
ltallan war may be prolonged Indefinitely by the
Increasing difficulties of the situation. It is re-
ported among other things that Italy will demand
the eeaession of tho Holy Rand.
It is said that a new Papal state will be es-
tablished there, restoring the temporal power of
the Pope and bringing about the restoration of
cordial relations between the Holy See and the
Italian government. This would virtually dis-
rupt the ottoman empire, however, and be the
prelimin u y step to Its complete dismemberment,
a process which might be accomplished by a
li,,lv war in the course of epoch-making changes.
