the ccrnstalks growing beneath his very

coIporated in New Jersey with capital
Of $50. 100000. Its business is to be the
manufacture Of products from corn
stalks, the principal product being that
of pith for covering war ships, about
which the Eagle gave some informa-
ton a few weeks since Experiments
by navy experts have proved this fab
ric to be enormously powerful in re-
sisting water and gunshots, and 1t is
contended that a ship sheathed in
coat Of it would be practically unsink-
able. The new trust is close CON-
bine which proposes to take In the
farmers of the west by depriving them
of fodder for winter feed. The corn
stalk is assumed to be of more value
than the corn which grows upon 1t and
which is converted into bread, meat
and drink, and the combine is TO be
run on the principle Of put up and

THAT GIRL BABY.

The cutest thing that has happened
In this country, in long while, as it is
one OF the most interesting, is that Har-
risen baby. Heaven bless its mother,
who has brought sunshine into an old
mans life IN such a food as no family
sunshine for its father 1t is the pre-
cious proof that he neither fooled him
self nor the pretty Mrs. Dimmicb, who
in consenting TO become the ex-presf-
dents bride, secured a more youthful
man than the average forty-year-o
roue who seeks to play the lover TO a
sixteen-year-old girl The bride of ten
months and fifteen days becomes a

delightful suggestions of youth and

THE GREEK AND THE TURK.

II often happens that revolts growing
out of the wrongs of Insignificant peo-
pies prove too much for the powers to
quell, and great conflicts are unexpect-
edly and swiftly evolved into which
nations which have no interest what
ever in the original trouble are drawn.
Little Crete promises to be a case IN
point Cuba or even Hawaii may also
play such a role. The ENJOYS and the
premiers and crowned heads Of Europe
have been commanding Crete to keep
quiet and demanding that King George
of Greece attend to his own affairs But
neither Greece nor Crete Will be con
rolled by what the powers may say or
not say It Is not that kind Of a case.
There must be aggressive steps upon
the part Of these powers and aggressive
steps mean war not only between Crete
and Greece upon the one side and Tur-
key upon the other. but war for every
nation which assumes either advice or
dictation The Hellenic monarchy seem
to have been In the least disconnected.
The Greeks. with unruffled serenity. are
proceeding to occupy such points IN
Crete as have not passed into the occu-
patton of the powers; the Greek govern
ment has refused to rescind its order to
the forces in Crete to prevent the land
ing ON the island Of Turkish troops,
and the fotilla will not be recalled IN
til Crete shall have been completely
pacified. Tho only reasonable conclu-
sion that can be drawn from these facts
is that the protests of the powers are
not intended to be taken seriously and
that Greece knows this to be the case.
The Turk meanwhile is relying not up
on himself but upon the nations which
cannot afford to have the Turkish en-
pire go to pieces.
BY the general advice Of the powers,
the sultan will keep his hands out of
the Cretan imbroglio; so said Under
Secretary Curzon in the house Of COM
mons. The readiness of the Russian
Black Sea feet to get under way at
moments notice seems to indicate that
the car intends TO make sure that the
sultan will keep his promise not to in
terfere, and that Russia Is not really
unfavorable to Greece. The kaiser
VIII probably have the unenyiable dis
tinctioR Of being the only unqualified
supporter of the sultan's divine right to
hold the reFolted C4etans in bondage.

EXTRA SESSION THREATENED.

Mr.. Bryan was brought to Kansas
as pacifcator and mediator, TO allay
the Pops and heal the breach which is
daily widening between the Democrats
and Calamityites. This idol and ideal
didn't do either. One can't compose
pen full of political pigs by feeding pie
TO few and leaving the rest go hungry.
SQuealing is certain and unavoidable.
Conciliatory oratoTy before election
may work. but it won satisfy after
emptiness. A hungry crew is more dan
gerous TO itself than to its enemy. Such
turn and rend. The Pops are just now
busy in turning and rending each other.
They have lost sight of the many short
comings of the Republican party in their
insane anxiety TO do each other up. The
average Pop pie manipulation at Topeka
is oblivious TO even the existence Of
such an organization as the Republican
party. He is after that idiot who re-
fuses TO follow his sure-enough advice.
No two of them seem TO see alike, and
every Pop son Of shooter has the cOur-
age of his convictions. There is Jump
er in the senate, Street-er In the house,
and PETER coming home. They are an
er-ring set who are jumping into the
Credentials, Clemens ct al. evidently
because their names don't end with er.
At least at this distance no better rea-
son can be assigned In their implacable
thirst for the blood of their brothers,
whom they term ~boOdlers," they seem
10 have got quite quantity of that
crimson fluid in their eyes As for the
poor Democratic party, which pros1-
tuted itself last fall for the promise Of
pie, not a man of it Is IN sight, or is
ever thought Of in the melee.
The people, the taxpayers Of the state,
need not be surprised If it all results in
an extra session at a cost Of hundreds
of thousands Of dollars. No business
can be transacted by such a rabble-
That would make no particular differ
ence if they would cease their wrangle
long enough to pass the appropriation
bills. With the appropriation bills
passed, the state would run along just
as usual except that its interests and
institutions will be in the hands Of this
contentious and impractical element.
No greater misfortune could come 10
the state than the re-cnnvening OF that
legislature. The thousands upon thou
sands Of dollars which they would in-
evltably squander would be but drop
In the bucket to the damage that would
accrue to every interest of the state at
home and abroad. OF course the peo-
pie having elected these men are now
helpless. There is no power or interest
that can reach them. This Is the first
legislature in all the history of the state
whose majority lacked sufficient bust
ness sense and patriotism to take care
of the appropriations within the fifty
days prescribed by the constitution. TO
fail 10 do 80 now would be a burning
shame. The apportionment could go
over together with all the wild meas
ures and unheard-of schemes which |
lumber the calendars and no harm |
would come. But failure to take care |
Of the institutions Of the state and the |
enforcing OF an extra session in the |
spring or midsummer would be nothing |
short of q calamity.

The coming twenty days IN Guthrie will
be noted for the amount OF Doodle that viii
be used. Two or three corruption funds are
on the ground and they will be used lber-
ally. Doodle is talked about freely and II
the stories told are true men high IN au-
thority are involved. The audacity with
which men talk about the probability of
bribes, and their declared readiness to ac-
cept them, Is simply astonishing. great
deal has been said about Democrats ''con-
servatsIn." This word will be used to
cover up corruption. I have heretofore
thought that Democrats were really honest
In their claims of being the conservative
party and were entitled to credit for so
being, but the likelihood is tbas they win
be paid dearly for their virtue, They are
clever enough TO serve their country and
at the same time enrich themselves. The
coming three weeks will be the rottenese
three weeks In the history of Oklahoma.
1t may be that all the Doodle stories heard
are mere fiction of an expectant imagina-
ton, out the fact Is they sound as if they
were absolutely true. Men in a position
to know have told me personally that they
are being approached every day by bood-
lers- II IS to be hoped that somebody will
rise above the common level of the poll
may be detected II may be better for
Oklahoma at the present time to have a
few of its trusted men bribed than to have
the whole people suffer from radicsEsm.
but II Is doubtful. The liberation Of bri-
berry, even in a cause good in itself, cor
rupts TIE morals Of People ard II Is better
to have pad lSws than bad morals II IS
easier TO repeal or improve vicious laws
than 20 repeal or improve vicious morals.
