ASP IN WASHINGTON.
Tell Newspaper Man What He Thinks
Of Statehood.
Washington PosL)


The Oklrh0ma colony in Washing
ton for me purpose Of advocating
statehood was REINFORCED yesterday
~ tho arrival of Meyor J. e. Bali Of
Guthrie, and Mr. Henry b Asp. a
prominent attorney of that city. A
conference was acid last night at the
New Willscd. az which the situation
was thoroughly oanvassed.
"The majority OF the people Of Ok
lahoma are in fayot Of the omnibus
bill" said Mr.. Asp, and opposed to
the Beverldge substitute. We believe
Delegate Flynn has acted for the best
interests OF the territory, and we are
here TO do what we can 10 help carry
out any plans of campaign he may
have. The provision in the omnibus
bill that parts of the Indian territory
mayl be- added to the state of Oklaho-
ma, from time to time. as congress
in it's wisdom may decree. meets the
approval of our people. Many parts
of the Indian territfy are not ready
for statehood, and the people do not
want it. The Beveridge substitute
would be defeated should It be sub
mitted to a vote Of the people Of the
two territories.
Oklahoma has joined fortunes
win New Mexico and Arizona and
we do not propose to desert our allies.
even though the promise is held out
that Oklahoma alone could achieve
statehood It is possible we would ba
in more advantageous position go
ing it single handed. but were the
people Of Oklahoma capable OF such
treachery they would not be worthy
of statehood"

PLAIN LANGUAGE
FROM
TRUTHFUL JAMES
BY BRET HARTE.

Which I wish to remark
And my language is plain,
That for ways that are dark
And for tricks that are vain,
The heather Chinee is peculiar
Which the same l would rise to eX-
plain.
All Sin was his name;
And I shall not deny.
In regard TO the same,
What that name might imply;
But his smile it was pensive and child
like,
AS l frequent remarked to Bill Nye.
1t was August the third,
And quite soft was the skies;
Which it might be inferred
That An Sin was likewise;
Yet he played it that day upon William
And me in a way l despise.
Which we had a small game,
And All Sin took a hand;
1t was euchre. The same
He did not understand
But he smiled as he sat by the table,
With the smile that was childlike and
bland.
Yet the cards they were stacked
In a way that l grieve,
And my feelings were shocked
A the state of NYe'S sleeve,
Which was stuffed full of aces and
bowers,
And the same with intent to deceive.
But the hands that were played
BY the heather Chinee,
And the roints that he made,
Were quite frightful to see
Till at last he put down right bower,
Which the same Nye had dealt unto me-
Then T looked up at Nye,
And he gazed upon me;
And he rose with a sigh.
And said, "Can this be?
We are ruined by Chinese cheap labor
And he went for that heathen Chinee.
In the scene that ensued
I did not take a hand,
But the floor it was strewed
Like the leaves on the strand
With the cards that All Sin had been
In the game che did not understand
In Eis sleeves, which were long,
He had twenty-four jacks
Which was coming it strong,
Yet l state but the facts;
And we found on his nails, which were
taper,
What is frequent in tapers-that's wax.
Which is why I remark,
And my language is plain
That for ways that are dark
And for tricks that are vain,
The heather Chinee is peculiar
Which the same I am free to maintain.

THE LESSON OF 1T.

The great Democratic victory that has
Just been achieved in the municipal cleo
ton has it's lesson, no less valuable and
impressive for Democrats than for Re
publicans.
1t would have been the blindest folly
for the electors of St. Paul to have re-
stored f. B. Doran to the office of mayor.
1t did not require much wisdom to dis
tinguish that truth His aGministra ton,
stating the matter in the mildest terms,
been inviting a repetition of experiences
not yet forgotten to have restored him to
power.
Even had the positive virtues of the
present city administration not been ef-
fective of themselves to retain Mayor
Smith in office these considerations af-
fecting Mr.. Dorans former administra-
ton would have prevented any return to
the experiences of 1896 to 1898.
The result is not surprising assuming
that the people of st. Paul are. fairly in
telHgent. 1t is not a party victory. It is
a victory Of forces which are more pow
erful in the forming of local public senti-
ment than any party question. Thought
full Republicans either voted for Mayor
Smith or refrained from voting. Were it
not for this he could not have been elect
ed Personal popularity explains his sur
prising vote in some measure. But it is
really to the excellence of his administra-
ton, and to the known failure of his op-
pcnent as city administrator, tnat the
event is due.
The voters want to see their affairs con-
Quoted honestly. This explains the long
continuance of McCardy in office The
citizens have borne with him, even though
he has in his own person represented
to 50 many of them the insolence of office
in it's most offensive expression. He made
the mistake that so many men in his sit
uatiOn have made of believing that he was
Indispensable, and he has paid the pen
atty. He has been kept in office by Re-
publicans and Democrats, and Democrats
and Republicans have united in turning
him out. Recognized honesty and ab!l-
ity in Office is the only explanation Of the
election and retention in Office by an in
creased majority of Mr.. Bremen.
Mayor Smith must give the people again
a clean and efficient administration. II
he does rot the voters of st. Paul will
throw the Democrats from power as they
have thrown the Republicans This town
is neither Democratic nor Republican.
The mass of the voters want their affairs
managed in a business-like way, and they
are willing to pay the cost, as they have
shown in this election in sp4.~ of the cry
raised of increased taxation.
That party whose representatives in Of
flee show their wOrthiness Of the support
of intelligent people will certainly win.
No consideration of numerical party
strength will materially affect the situa-
ton.

4 MORAL FROM THREE 1rYEs


Within a few days three Americans
have passed away who have borne an
important part in the progress of events
in their different spheres of activity. The
country has in their death suffered the
loss respectively of great churchman,
a great sailor and great writer.
Archbishop Corrigan, Bret Harte and
Admiral Sampson were all eminent men.
They possessed each the respect and ad-
miration of great numbers of their coun-
trymen. Were it not for the events at
tending the closing years of Sampson s
life, it could be said of them all, with
truth, that their lives had been very sue
cessful in all the directions in which en-
enlightened men most value success. Yet
each one Of these men died poor Their
powers were not given to the accumuIa-
ton of wealth or to the advancement of
purely material ends.
Men ought to be judged today by what
they have done, rather than by what thew
have or what they are. Bret Harte wrote
few short stories which will enable him
to live in literature for generations to
come. Admiral Sampson was close upon
ending his professional career by the
achievement of great honor in his profess
sion when his physical ailments combin-
ed with accident to deny him what ap-
peared to be within his grasp. Archbishop
the affairs of his church at the great
center of American wealth and popuIa-
ton, and by the piety and elevation of his
life, realized all that he could in reason
have hoped for.
In the face of the great good achieved
by these men for themselves and others
it cannot be said that success such as
theirs, or in such directions as they labor
ed, is what appeals to the American of
today. The sordid thought is dominant
that a man to succeed in his life work
must die the possessor of wealth. The
idea is a pernicious one. Great wealth
may come to man in the achievement
of his undertakings in life; but he who
makes the acquisition of wealth for its
own sake the object of his life, no matter
what his calling, is no better than those
beggars that we read of from time to
time who are found to have died in desti-
tuition possessed of much money.
When the thought takes complete pos
session Of the natural mind that mans

A NARROW PARTTsAN.

The junior senator from Indiana has
evidently won his way to the political
confidence and esteem Of the president.
He has challenged his associate in the
convention of his party and, apparently,
has made his challenge good. He is a
good talker and an adroit politician.
Yet in the face of all these special quail
ficatiOns it is safe to predict that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will find that political init
macy with this man will not promote
the fortunes of his administration So
Thoroughbred a partisan as Mr. Bev-
eridge must ultimately work his own ruin
and the serious detriment Of his friends.
No man who reads his acrid speech in
the senate yesterday, as reported in the
press dispatches, on the Democratic at
titude toward the recent developments
in the Philippines, can close his eyes to
the revelation which it makes of this
mans narrowness and bitterness as a
political partisan. In that speech, too,
there is a dash of the pettifogging lawyer,
revealed in the effort to show that Demo-
cratic criticism and condemnation are
directed against the American SOL
dier. Senator Beveridge, of course, knows
better than this, but he thinks that a lit
tie deception practiced on the jury will
help him to make the wickedness Of his
client less apparent
The politician who, in the light of the
hideous order Of Gen. Smith and of the
shocking succession of barbarites prac-
ticed by the express authority of those
who are charged Immediately with power
in the Philippines; will pretend to believe
that those who do not accept the existing
situation refuse to do so because they
condemn the American soldier, is hardly
big enough to aspire, as Beveridge does,
to be a statesman. He certainly may be
successful on the stump; but his opinions
or advocacy will never commend them
selves to intelligent Americans who try
to form their own judgment on the prog
ress of current events.

a majority of the members Of the commit
