In the death OF Judge Robert Martin
the territory loses one of it's most re-
spected and valued citizens. lie was
one OF the founders Of the territory,
His career was deeply marked with
steadiast devotion to duty, with lofty
patriotism and exalted character, with
conscientious regard for official obliga-
tions and sturdy strength OF purpose
to serve the interests OF his home his
friends and his countrymen. lie was
a man whom TO know was TO like. His
administration OF the Office OF secre-
tary OF the territory and mayor OF the
city were splendid exhibitions Of
strong common sense, iniieXible hon
osty, lofty courage and rugged deter
,nination. As citizen OF the town
Judge Martin bore the confidence OF
Al men. Even IN the heat OF exciting
political campaigns he was usually
erene and complacent bore no mans
dl will, political or personal.
Robert Martin was good man, an
ardent Mason, an indulgent father and
loving husband. He was man
whom the territory could illafford to
lose. Closely identified with okla
homas interests it was his ambition
to live to see the territory grow into
statehood

commonwealth will ever hold him in

TAX EVIL THATsBoULD BE EOHECKED
A great inconvenience has been
suffered by the citizens Of Oklahoma,
owing to the uncer .ainty about the
tii..e for the final collection OF taxes.
II has been so easy to postpone the
time OF payment by paying the penal
ties attsehed to delinquent taxpayers.
shat the Temptation to put off final
payment as long as possible, has re.
suited in great and growing evil TO the
whole community. Council bill 67, b
Councilman Learned, changes in very
radical manner the whCi- system Of the
collection OF taxes. II provides that
the taxes be collected annually, in
stead Of semi-annuRly, thereby saving
a large amount Of unnecessary clerical
work ia the treasurer's office, and max
ing it more convenient for the people
to pay Its most important change
however, is the abolition OF all penal
ties and making all taxes due and de.
linquent after the third Monday in
January OF each year Immediately
collectible.
IL requires the treasurer OF each
county, between the 10th and 25th Of
each March to issue his warrant
against each and every taxpayer The
sheriff is required TO levy the warrants
and collect the taxes together with all
expense OF collection, within sixty days
after the warrants are placed in his
hands
The bill, if it becomes a law, will
give an element OF certainty to the
amount OF cash in the treasury and
wilt materially enhance the value and
hasten the payment OF all outstanding
indebtedness Of the different counties.
The bill is now up for consideration

his obligation to the people and to the
law, but he was ever mindful of the
still higher obligation to the principles
Of justice and humanity. To be truth
full, to be just, to be humahe-these
were the bright Jewels III his crown Of
character. It is fact most interesting
and impressive now to recall, after all
our great troubles and conflict over the
slavery question, that he left his solemn
testimony against that institution in
words which ought to have been needed
by his countrymen. AS early as 1886,
just after the revolution, he wrote:
There is no man living who wishes
more sincerely than I do to see plan
adopted for the abolition of slavery.
But there is but one proper and ef-
fectual mode by which it can be &C.
complished and that is by legislative
authority, and this, SO far as my suf-
frage will go, will never be wanting"
And these noble words he put into
practical effect by the emancipation of
his own slaves by will, humanely pro-
viding for the support of the aged and
iDfrm among them, and giving the
most explicit and peremptory direc-
tions that those too young to support
themselves should 'be taught to read
and write and brought up to some use

A PRACTICAL STATESMAN.

George Washington ~ Model Man Of
Business, Order and Law-Tru hful, just,
Humane. -,.... s&
Washington was eminently prac-
tical statesman. His mind was of the
solid, practical order. In the Old South
church in Boston I have seen, in his
own bold and clear handwriting, the
expense accounts which he kept in the
revolution, down to the shillings and
the pence. He was no theorist, the
author Of no new idea or system in gov
eminent. He left to Jefferson to
enunciate the great ideas of liberty in
the Declaration of Independence and
to Hamilton to inaugurate our great
system of finance. But when it came
to practical administration and execu.
tive duty he was q model Of business,
Of order and law. Here his great rule
and guide was the conscientious per

me Mt; We're ever uppermost in his mind
and purpose. When in his second term
that whisky insurrection broke out in
Pennsylvania and the misguided mall
contents, after fair warning by his
proclamation, continued to resist the
collection of the tax and to resort to
mob law and violence, he promptly
called out 900 militia from the neigh
boring states and repaired to the scene
OF action, ready to take command and
crush the incipient rebellion with a
strong hand. But this show of power
and purpose, with Washington behind
it, was enough, and the lawless ele-
ments retired abashed, as they always
will, when confronted by leader who
dares to shoot and to kill.
But Washington not only recognized
