The Guthrie daily leader. [volume] (Guthrie, Okla.) 1893-1996, 1897-11-21

New discoveries are constantly max
ing which bear on Bible history The
last is announced in the Academy by
Prof. Sayce, and comes from Or. Scheil.
II will be remembered that Mr. Pinches
found. less than a year ago. the names
Of Chedorlaomer, king OF Edom, and
Tidal king of nations, of Genesis IA, on
a Babylonian tablet. Or. Scheil has
inst found, among the early tablets
now in Constantinople, some letters OF
Hammurabi (the Amraphel of Gen. l4)
to king Of Larsa, which relates to the
war of independence waged by Ham
murabi, at the end Of which the latter
gave his ally of Larsa statues and
other presents as a reward for his
valor on the day of the defeat OF Che
dorlaomer," the Elamite king.

ooMmIrrEn Is NnnpEp.

The Guthrie club should take some
action in regard TO sending a commit
tee to ST. LOUIS and one or two other
points to look after the city's railroad
interests. oklahoma City has had rep
resentatives stationed at st. Louis dur
ing the past six months, putting in
plugs in behalf Of the town down the
road. That the committee should talk
up its own town is natural and proper,
but The LEADRs understands that GER
tain members OF the committee have
been making vigorous knocks against
the capital city and otherwise misrep-
resenting us when before the st. Louis
board Of trade and trsfiic bureau.
During their visit 10 OklAhomG the
officials OF the Frisco were taken in
hand by the Oklahoma City boosters,
and hence Guthrie was ignored by the
railroad officers. With two or three
active business men located At St Louis
much good could be done Ia Guthrie's
behalf. The advantages Of the city
could then be constantly advanced,
aud false representations promptly re-
futed. Moreover. note could be taken
OF the progress Of the Red Fork
Guthrie road. The business interests
Of the city demand outside representa'

rue PRESS AND STATEHOOD.

Since the Hennessey editorial meet.
ing thhe territorial press is hammer
ing at the statehood question with all
the vigor OF the 1924 agitation. The
Kingisher Times strikes the right
chord in the following: "In obedience
to the laws OF destiny the people are
again taking up the question Of state
hood for oklahoma. This time the inn
pulse comes from the people, the un-
official multitude, not from the pros
pective ofiiceholders. Even the press
can hardly claim credit for Initiating
the movement, for It has IN this in
stance merely voiced that which has
become common topic at the road
side, in the country store or wherever
few may meet incidentally and wan
der into conversation over the upper
most thought.
This week, at a non-partisan meet
ing OF the territorial country editors,
held at Hennessey, an appropriate
resolution demanding statehood
passed without dissenting voice. At
no other period of our history would
such a resolution have passed without
fiery discussion The reason 10 logical
ly perceived when you look for IL
among the every day talk OF the
thoughtful common people. In the
course OF evolution, we have arrived
at the stage where the responsibility
OF self government comes to us as
naturally as do the thoughts and re-
sponsibilIties OF adult life come to the
man who has outgrown boyhood.
There is now but one danger, and that
is, politicians will seek to ride upon
the wave OF sentiment and bend their
course to suit the trend Of events. IT
will be well for the people to keep
Professional" from manipulating the
movement, in order that clean bill
mag be presented for consideration OF
congress, untainted with partisan
craftiness"

GEN. BLAHCO's sHREwD POLIoY.
Whatever may be his actual plans,
General 9lAnco promises fairly, and
until his professions are shown to be
inslncere he must be credited with
good intentions.
His announcement of a full pardon
20 all those who have been prosecuted
for REBELLION is certainly generous
without precedent, considering that
Cuba is still in state OF war. Such q
concession, IL it be genuine, is mAgnau-
imous to the verge Of danger.
1t Is evident, however. that General
Blanco, acting for the Spanish govern
ment is attempting to fix the respon-
sibility for continued hostiliues upon
the oubans. They are offered peace II
they will accept IL and are guaranteed
against punishment for political
offenses. II they refuse the proffered
terms Spain can point to the refusal
as a reason for declining the rendered
good offices Of the United States in
bringing the war to a close.
Aud it must be admitted that such a
position would be a strong one I'm
less our government openly espouses
the cause OF Cuban independence. there
can hardly be any excuse for interfer.
ing in behalf Of insurgents who are
promised practically everything that
the autonomists demand We can
hardly exact more unless we are pre-
pared to recognize the Cuban republic
and aid it By force OF arms, and even
the most pronounced jingoes are not
yet prepared to go SO far.
Gen. Blaneo has therefore brought
us 10 a standstill for the present Hs
can reasonably demand sufficient time
IN which to work out his policy and in
the interim our diplomatic batteries
are sileneed, though our sympAthieI
may all be with Cnbans

Has spent ,,Her Life ON the Roof of
Hotel

Has spent Her Life ON the Roof of .
Hotel.
High up on the roof of the Boston
Tavern, a hundred feet or more from
The pavement, lives a little gray fox
that has spent nearly her whole life
with the smoke of the chimneys blow
ing about her and the roar from the
streets of the city filling her ears day
and night. says the Boston Transcript.
Taken as a cub from her native woods
Of Maine, she has grown up with the
slated roof Of the tavern as her world.
and with Tom, the porter, who takes
care of her, as her only companion.
Originally there were two OF the
tubs. They were taken by gentle
man who was on a fishing expedition
on the Bonnie river last June, and sent
as a present to one of the guests OF the
hotel, who, not caring about keeping
them. gave them to Mr.. Clark, the pro-
prietor Of the tavern. Mr. Clark had
place made for them on the roof,
where there is plenty of room to run
about, but a short time after they
came one Of them became frightened,
jumped from the parapet, and was
killed. The other, taking warning by
the fate Of her comrade, was more
careful, and has gradually become
moderately tame. She will eat from
hand OF the porter, and when he is
alone will come to him when she is
called, although she will not allow him
to handle her at all. The moment any
strangers appear on the roof, however,
she is OF to the farthest corner. and
will keep the whole width OF the roof
between herself and them as long as
they remain in sight.
| Her lot is not an unpleasant one for
an animal in captivity, for she has the
whole root to range over and is seldom
disturbed. The roof has only slight
slope; II is smooth, slated surface,
surrounded by high parapet, and
broken by numerous chimneys and by
the light-well and skylights, which rise
In the center OF 1t. The fox has the
run OF the whole OF 1t. and explores
every part people In the nearby build
ings being sometimes startled by the
sight OF fox running about the roof
of hotel In the heart OF the city. In
one corner she has box filled with
earth, where she crawls when she
wants to go to sleep. scooping out q
round hole with her paws.
