Attorney General Griggs stated the Philippine situation in a nut. shell when he said: "The United States stands bound to all countries as the responsible soverign of the Philippine islands. It cannot, con- sistently with international obliga- tions or its own self respect, assume any other attitude. Its title to the islands and to the sovereignty there of IS regular, valid and unimpeach- able. To attempt to shift interna- tionsl responsibilities to an ill- formed or partially formed insurgent government would be to shirk a re- sponsibility solemnly assumed by this country, and would subject the United States, not only to the ridi- cule but to the just contempt of all nations"

The Late Or, M. L. Brooks.

Cleveland papers contain very lengthy accounts of the death of Dr. Martin L. Brooks, of that city, brother of Judge H. Brooks, of Pres colt. The Plain Dealer m quite a lengthy editorial mention, says:
 Full of years and rich in the garn- cred friendships of half century s busy life, Dr. NIL. Brooks has passed from an earth that be did much to make pleasant for poor humanity. He was an ornament to the nob- lest of professions, and in that branch of the service which he made peculiarly hIs own, that of family physician, he endeared himself to grateful thousands. His smile was a light in the sick room, and his cheering words have brought hope to countless thousands. There was sadness in many homes when the news of his death was read. for no man beyond the border of the hearthstone IS quite so dear as he who has frightened the pain. or may hap, shared the sorrows, of the fam ilv circle And it is as such a friend and comforter that the dear old doctors memory will be best re- yered and longest cherished"
 The Weekly Leader publishes an extended biographical sketch of him in which it speaks of his college days at Oberlin, Ohio, and says that on the fourth of July, 1883, he made the first speech ever delivered in Oberlin on abolition, coming out fairly and squarely against slavery, thereby causing much excitement and talk in the little town which was destined afterwards to become oue of the greatest abolition centers in the north. 1t is popularly sup posed that Oberlin college was founded on anti-slavery principles from the first, but this Is erroneous, as the trustees did not adopt the principles of anti-slavery till some time after young MT. Brooks speech.

the Japanese were better off when
they lived by themselves, in closed

wants are many times greater and
their resources of gain have not
increased proportionately. How to
increase them and how to reduce

The FIrst and Only Territory Town to
Kick on incorporation.
The whole Territory has its eye
on Ardmore. The fight on the in

some things that ought to give us
a shaking up. Read its view of.

Office at this place, and mailed at.
this office, postal card with the

by citizens of Ardmore for an cleo
ton to be held soon to decide whe-
ther the city should ask the people
to undo and dissolve the munich
pal incorporation and surrender
the city charter of the city of Ard

Our friends here. the anti-incOr-
porationists, seem to gloat over
this move by few of the citizens
of Ardmore, and consider 1t an
other victory for non-progression
and non n-advancement along educa-
tional and moral lines. These
friends of ours-and they are our
friends, and because we differ in
opinion on the subject of incor-
poration, or politics, or religion,
is no reason why we should not be
friends-are, as usual, grabbing at
straws to bolster up a grave error
that they fell into some time ago
in enjoining incorporation pro-
ceeding for the town of Duncan.
Now, friends, why don't you be
honest? why don't you be fair!
why don't you tell the truth? why
don t you tell us that out OF the
dozens of incorporated towns in
the Indian Territory ArdmOre Is
the only one that is raising any
objection to municipal govern

what Our climate Is Doing For Us.


Mr.. f. L. Oswald has blown some
northwestern facts into the popular
mind about our climate that are worth
considering Ordinarily the climate of
the United States is the pet subject of
the native growler and the unending
reproach of the visiting foreigner, who
is knocked off his pins by the sun in
New York and blown off his base by a
blizzard in Kansas. The eccentricities Of
our weather and the agility of the ther-
moneter are subjects of half the humor
and nearly all the complaint of the ten
derfoot who hasn't anything olse to
think about. and hosts of our wealthy
men and women fly to the Mediterrane-
an every year to escape the seventies of
their native heath. But Mr.. Oswald
now shows that while our climate is the
severest in the world it is also the
healthiest. He points out that nature
did not intend to coddle the people of
this continent as she does those of Eu-
rope, where she has built protecting
walls of mountains running east and
west that shut off the northern blast
In this country the mountain ranges
run north and south and down their
great alleyways pour the frosty blasts
of the north pole 1t is to these recur-
rent blasts that we owe our hardihood,
our liberty. our intelligence and our
longevity. Mr.. Oswald calls these
changes of temperature ''microbe kill
ers'' and he speaks with the loftiest ad-
miration of the once abused blizzard
and even looks kindly with prospective
eye upon the cloudburst and the sand
storm, for they are toughening and pre-
pairing a race that is destined to domi-
nate the world. What pity it is that
we cannot enjoy this process SO thor
oughly as our posterity will

NEGRO BRAKEnEN.
White Men viii Again Be Put on the
Santa Fc Line.

Beginning last Wednesday white
brakemen returned to duty on the
main line Santa Fe passenger trains
and the colored pOrters who have
been acting in the capacity of brake
men were transferred to the San
Angelo division. This is in ac-
cordance with an agreement en-
tered into between the Santa Fe Of
ficials and the heads OF the various
railway orders.
Since May ,, 1898, negro por-
ters have been wearing the badge
of authority. performing the du-
ties and drawing the pay of white
brakemen on main line Santa Fe
passenger trains. 1t is claimed
this change was brought about by
the refusal Of the brakemen to
clean the ears. When it went into
effect a few white brakemen were
let out and one or two were trans
ferred to other divisions. This
matter formed one Of the griev-
ances when Chief Conductor Clark
Of the Order Of Railway COnduc-
tor and the other heads of en-
ployes' organization were down
here in January. AS a result of
the conference the white brake
men have been restored to duty on
the main line with further pro-
vision that a train Of five cars or
more shall entitle the brakeman to
colored porter.-Galnesville Hes

the bill, = says the Louisville Cou-

Americans to carry on the ship

some laws to discourage that busi-

buy ships, as the citizens Of all

buy them on the best terms. If
