IT is given cut that Congressman
Overstreet, OF Indiana, intends to dab
bic a little in Oklahoma political mat
ters. Overstreet, 1t is said, is pr@par-
ing n bill to regulate the conduct Of
the Oklahoma school land office.
FLYNN is doubtless back Of this move,
but he is wearing an exceptionally in
nocent front, Four oklahoma legisla-
lures have experimental with Okla
homa school land matters aud have
endeavored TO enact laws looking to
the equitable leasing Of lands and the
protection of the vast funds, but in
every instance nothing has come Of
th cir work There is room for vast
reforms in the school land Office and
the conduct of the board for leasing
the lands. No one knows anything
about the inwardness OF the leases
now held by big cattlemen, and while
on recent visit to this city Congress-
man Oyerstreet, it is said marveled at
the laxity of many Of the most impor-
tant rules of the school land Office.
Since it is we'll known that Overstreet
is experiencing little difficulty in get-
ting action on all his measures it is
quite likely that the sixth oklahoma
legislature will be enabled to make
up daily calendars without the assis-
tance Of the Oklahoma school land
department

WOMEN as train porters are said to
be popnlar because they can button
the shoes and fasten the dresses OF the

but how about the frowzy-haired gaz-

the curtains and hoarsely whisper;
Porter, got bottle back there?"
Nothing doing?

TOUGH ON THEsPIANs.

Railroads Bear Down Hard on Theatrical
Companies--Must Pay Excess.
Theatrical organizations are raising
the wind with the railroads owing TO
an order which went into effect the
first OF this month. The western
roads have decided that no coDces-
sions will be made to secure this kind
of traffic.
The big theatrical companies are
especially hard hit by this agreement
For years concessions have been made
by railroad lines TO secure this class
of traffic. such as checking of excess
baggage free, issuing free transporta 4.

trical people have saved sonsidera lie
money as result. After the frstof

and expenses are further increased
because of the failure to secure these
reductions The excess baggage item
was big one 70 the companies. One
show may have three times the bag
gage allowed 10 go free with their
number Of people. Heretofore this
has always been checked free Of all

that this will be charged for 1.-THE
regular excess baggage rate which
others have TO pay.

FROM VERMONT
Republican Plurality Now Estf-
mated at 80, 900.

White River Junction, VT, Sept s.
Early this afternoon Ira Allen. chair
man of the state committee, made the
statement that 200 out of 246 cities and
towns in the state give Stickney, Re
publican, for governor, AZ, 1928; Senter,
Democrat, IA, 1913. The same towns in
1896 gave Grout Republican, AZ, 378;
Jackson, Democrat, 12.T95. From these
figures Mr.. Allen says it is safe to cali
Stickney's plurality $4,000.
The most conservative estimate of the
standing of the legislature, based on the
returns received up to early this after
noon show that the senate will be Re-
publican throughout and that the Re-
publicans win hold 200 seats out of the
246 seats in the house. In 1896 the Dem
ocrats elected 81 representatives and in
1898 they elected AZ.
The two Republican candidates for
congress were elected by figures gener-
ally corresponding with the plurality of
the candidate for governor

RUSSIA'S DESIRE
As Voiced Through the Medium of the
Official Journal

St Petersburg. Sept 5.-The OFFICIAL
Journal de St. Petersburg, reiterating the
statement that Russia's only desire is to
end the disturbances in China as speedily
as possible, preparatory to which the re-
establishment of the Chinese government,
is necessary contends that military ac-
ton beyond Fekin would only arouse
fresh complications
The paper adds. Nothing but the action
of the lawful government of China can
accomplish lasting, salutary results.
Therefore. it is necessary to re-establish
its authority at Pekfn and the withdrawal
of the representatives of the powers to
Tien Tsin viii be helpful in this direction
as it would be regarded in China as proof
that the powers have remained true to the
spirit which inspired the original pro-
gramme.'
The Journal de St. Petersburg concludes:
However great may be the just indig-
nation which events in China have pro-
Voked in all civilized countries. the Rus
sian government while examining with
necessary calTnness all the questions
raised by the recent occurrences adheres
unalterably to the principle forming the
basis of her policy, namely. the mainten-
ance of peace with all the powers who are
solidly united for the common good"
