John Duncan's platform is
unique to say the least. There
ought to be no objection to his
demand for law fixing the price
of cotton at eight and three
fourths cents and all classed as
strict middling. 1t is just as
reasonable as fixing the price of
oil by law. Let the railroad
commission quit trying to keep
oil out Of competition with coal
as fuel by high freight rates,
and the attorney general enforce
the antitrust act so as to prevent
unlawful combinations between
producers and oil will find its price
level according to commercial
laws. Fixing the price OF COM
mercial law is a miserable farce.

STORY OF SQUIERS
His Runaway Match With Pretty

HIS RECORD TO BE LOOKED UP

Lochren Runor.

From The Journal Bureau. Room, Is, Post
BUudttgs Harrington.
Washington, May 8. - Herbert G.
Squiers, who, it is announced, is to be the
first American minister to Cuba, was q
soldier in the civil war, a private in the
artillery branch of the service. While he
was stationed with his regiment at For
tress Monroe, he caught the eye of pretty
Miss Fargo, daughter of the millionaire
express company manipulation, who with
her parents was seeing the sights at that
historic place. Squires was a fine fell
low, tall, we'll proportional good looking,
and IN every way such a man as would be
likely to catch the fancy Of an impress
sionable girl just out: of boarding school.
1t was a case of love at first sight, on
both sides. and one night the couple
slipped away and crossing the bay were
married by colored minister. Return
ing to Fortress Monroe, the young woman
told her parents what she had done and
there was great explosion. But it was
too late to avail anything, ard so the in
evttable pardon was granted, and Squiers
was taken under the wing of Fargo pere,
who straightway made 1t his business to
see that he got along in the world. Pro-
motions were, quickly secured, and
Squiers was not long in securing a COM
mission. Then followed a transfer to the
signal service. and then resignation
from the army, it being possible to resign
from the signal service but not from any
Of the other branches. The resignation
was dictated by the elder Fargo. who
wanted his son-in-law for other things.
It was the Fargo influence which sent
Squiers to Berlin as second secretary OF
the American legation, during the Cleve-
land administration, in 1894. The same
influence secured his transfer in 1898 to
the Picking legation as secretary, under
the Mckinley administration.
Whether he will be the best man for
the important position of first minister to
Cuba is a question. The president has
tentatively arranged to appoint him. it
Is said, but before any formal announce
