OKLAHOMA DEMOCRATS DID WELL

The Democrats of Oklahoma are to be
congratulated upon the manly, dignified
and patriotic stand their convention at
Perry, yesterday, took in the matter of
statehood for the territory. There have
been strong indications a. Washington
that the majority party is in favor of
double statehood, for the sole reason
that that would give their party two
more votes in the senate and one in the
house than single state would afford.
But the Oklahoma Democrats were able
to rise above party interests in that re-
spect, and consider the best interests Of
the people of the territory IN material
way The declarations and wishes of so
large number CT representative Demo
Gratis, whose substantial interests are
identical with those Of ali the people Of
the territory, ought to exert control
ing influence with congress, and will,
no doubt, if properly presented to the
committees and members of the two
houses.

TELESCOPES OF The FUTURE.
They viii Probably BE Far More POwerf,
Than Those N0yr Made.

They Will Probably BE Far More Powerful
Than Those Now Made.
In paper by Mr.. Alvan A. Clark on
the telescopes of the future, recently
read in Chicago, the view is suggested
that astronomers may look forward to
the possession of instruments vastly
more powerful than any they now
possess. When in 1916 lenses fifteen
inches in diameter were made most
astronomers thought the limit of size
had been reached. But in 1870 Mr..
Newhall, Gateshead, England, bull,
the twenty-ive-inch telescope, now at
Cambridge. In 1878 twenty-six-inch
glasses were made for the telescopes at
the University of Virginia and at the
national observatory at Washington.
Till recently the difficulty of getting
suitable glass was the chief obstacle
Glassmakers have, however, continued
to improve their processes for produc-
ing disks of glass of large size and free
from imperfections. Perseverance has
at length brought matters to the point
that the only obstacles to getting
glasses ''of almost any size" are the
time required to make them and the
small number of persons having money
enough to pay for them. This fact is
lenses in great telescopes in recent
years Tie thirty-inch glass ground in
1880 for the Russian imperial observa-
tory at Pulkowa was succeeded in about
1887 by the thirty -six-inch Lick tele-
scope. At present Mr.. Clark has under
way the largest lenses ever constructed,
of forty inches diameter, for the Uni
versity of Chicago.
instruments of this prodigious size
are required, Mr.. Clark thinks, for orig
inal discoveries Most important orig
inal discoveries have been made with
the largest telescopes in use at the time.
Once seen with the large glass new OBJ
jects are readily made out afterwards
with smaller instruments The few
ness of large telescopes has greatly re-
stricted the number of original discov-
cries. Rejecting telescopes Will not
in Mr.. Clark's opinion, compete success
fully, hereafter with refractors in pow
er The large telescopes of this class
have rarely, he says accomplished
much except in the hands of the opti-
clans who made them. They are eX-
tremely sensitive to unfavora BILE condi-
tons that affect the use of high magni-
flying powers. The tendency is to dis
place the rejecting telescope
But makers of the great lenses of re-
fracting telescopes have great difficult
ties to overcome. They are able now
to procure the great disks required, but
to figure them-to give them the proper
shape-and to polish them require the
highest skill of the scientific optician.
''He must be an artist in color" says
Mr.. Clark. 'as well as in light and
shade, in order to do the perfect work
required" The task is hard one, and
it's difficulty increases with the constant
increase of size. Machinery is availa BILE
for the rough work of the first stages
of manufacture, but the fine grinding
and smoothing are always done by hand.
The finishing touch can never, it is
thought, be given otherwise than by
hand. Baltimore Sun

Smiled and listened-while the themes

In the heart where Promise kneeled;
And yet. grim and bent and grey,

Old Slug Nine quit work today
All unknown, Vet who shall say
That in his unhonored lot,
Flooding humbly, there was not

Found in tickle flames caress.
Had he bartered for place
In the mad, STORYTELLING race,
Giving up his simple joys,
Twinkiing eye and kindly voice
Would our Threats choke as we say

Old Slug Nine has come today,
To the end of his lone way.
Would that favored lives when spent,
Taught such sweetness and content
Taught that peace is not The crown

Calloused hearts are never glad,
Richly eased or poorly clad.
One glad heart is still today,
