Was il a Mistake?

In yesterdays issue of the
Democrat, Bro. Rhea, of the
Chandler Publicist, was, by mis-
take, given the title DR.. We
apologize for our mistake, which
Bro. Rhea took very goodnatur-
edly, but after all, the title would
hardly be a misnomer, should it
be applied to newspaper people,
for does not the editor sometimes
bring to life a political party
which is on the verge of dissolu-
ton from general debility? And
doesen't he soothe and sustain
the defeated candidate, and ap-
ply the balm of consolation to his
smarting wounds? AS a general
thing, the editor is the one who
is hunted up, in such emergencies
and we think that the populace
will agree with us that this would
be a dreary old world without the
editors valuable advice and timely
assistance in time of political ca
tastrophes. Therefore we con-
tend that the editors are fully
qualified to not only receive the
title of Dr., but their full share of
all the good things of this world,

Artesian Well.

Anadarko is not only the gate
way to Lawton, Hobart and the
Great Southwest, but is the best
watered city in the new country.
Wells are to be had but for the
boring or digging, and water is
had plentifully.
No doubt the deepest and most
flowing well of the country, will
be bored at the Presbyterian
Mission 4 miles east of town.
This is to be an Artesian well.
Most of us have seen Artesian
wells, perhaps in our old homes
or in different corners of the
earth, but to have one in our
own region, will be picturesque
and not only benefit to the
country materially, but it will be
a benefit to the school for
which tits undertaken.
Already Mr.. Andrews, under
whose Superintendency the bor-
ing will be made, is here and has
been waiting the arrival of the
machinery and materials for its
construction, which have been
freighted and are long past due,
from Beaumont, Texas. Mr..
Andrews father is one of the
most extensive oil well borers and
"gusher" promoters in the Beau
mont region, having made over
$4,000 there in the past year.
The well at this place having
already been tested to a depth OF
81 feet, will be bored to a depth
of 300 feet. The possibility OF
obtaining water in this way, in
which it rises with great force,
depends upon the geological
structure of the particular region,
The Mission, for which this well
is projected, named for Mrs
Gregory its founder, is a most
beautiful place and most eminent
for its work. The total cost Of
the we'll will be about S1200, which
sum is given by Mr.. Granger Of
Philadelphia, whose wife is &
daughter of Mrs. Gregory.
Neither oil nor sulphur water
is wanted, personally, by the
donors or the donees. But sup.
pose either should be struck
What place for the speculator
What an asylum for the sick.

Safe Blowers at Ponca City.

The post office at Ponca City
was robbed Saturday night. The

ing the rally the noise was not
noticed and the robbery was not

that he has no political aspir-

CHANGES IN WAR METHODS.

The fact mentioned by Lord Roberts
that the future war will be an aftalr OF
marksmen, Is likely to make certain
old line military powers uneasy. ODD
as it may seem, some Of the most noted
armies in Europe do not know i1oF 80
shoot. They can fire volleys as a mass
and do individual firing at the lines Oh
the enemy, but as for picking out d
snot of blue or red or a bit of khaki or
a .moving arm or uplifted head and
mailing" it, the average European SOL
der is a failure. That is why II TOOK
1000 bullets to kill a man at Waterloo
ond abo1,t 1000 at Gravelotte; why
pakenham's men did such small exc
cution on Jackson's men at New Ut
leans and why the casualties In the late
Graeco-Turkish war were so few ana
far-between. And that is why, also'
tbe British had such a hard time In
their contests with the sharp-shootlng
Beers.
ii mas been proved to be great ad-
vantage to a soldier to have been rals-
ed in a new country where game III
yites the rifle or shotgun ana where
men learn at very early age TO MT
the mark. There are but few places IN
Europe where the masses, from Whoia
common soldiers are made, can get d
chance to shoot. In England, especial
w tho restrictions about the field game
have been severe for generations AS
a result, the home-bred EnghsnInan'
when he enters the ranks, knows very
little about his gun as an arm OF pre-
,,sion. Germany is not so badly off, for
schuetzenfests are encouraged there'
and The same is moderately true Oh
A,rSfria. But the French, Italians,
Standards. Hollanders, Turks, Greeks
and Russians have no renown as sharp
shooters, and if pitted against mucn
smaller number of Swiss, Beers, Aus
tralfans. Canadians or western Amer
leans might easily meet worse sur
prises than those of Majuba Hill ard
Spion Kop Certain of the Russians
szouid show up well. but the average
peasant trooper Of that blood never
had a gun in his hands until the gov
ernInent gave him one.
One thing that has hampered
Europe's efforts to teach the art OF
craftsmanship to her soldiers is the
great cost of practice. A sharpshooter'
to keep his hand in, must practice most
of the time and ammunition costs
money. 1t may be that armies will be
cut down so as to save funds to be eN-
pended upon teaching individual
1narksmanship as it is easy to prove
that %, 900 men who are dead shots are
a more formidable military force than
s75;g0O men who fire without drawing a
head.

TOBACCO FOR HAWAII.

Is there any sound reason why Ha-
wall should not rival Cuba in the, quail
ity of tobacco crops? Conditions of
latitude. climate and rainfall are sim
liar and as between Cuban and Ha-
waiian soil the latter is the richer or
the two. A feeling exists that a few
experiments resulting in strong and
coarse tobacco have proved that Ha-
waii is not adapted to the culture OF
a fine article. But is it not possible
that the failure was due more to ignor-
ances fof the special details of cultiva-
ton than because of any undesirable
quality in the soil and climate?
For years they raised tolerable tobac-
co in Connecticut Then somebody
thought of raising it under canvas and
behold! the price Of the product nearly
doubled. Open air tobacco was bit
rank; protected tobacco began to COM
pare with the Cuban flavor. and now
the Connecticut farmer, with his fifty
acres of tobacco grown under cloth
stretched over his fields on wooden
frames, has money to lend instead of
to borrow.
In Cuba the planters have learned
many little tricks. Once Yankee
sightseer happened to be a guest of a
Vuelto Abajo planter and was amazed
one morning to see the host and his
hired men starting for the field with a
four-pounder cannon. Nor was he re-
assured when he saw the gun heavily
loaded and discharged between each
row of plants But the strange act was
nationally explained. At a certain
stage in the growth of the tobacco, a
grub began TO infest it, threatening the
life of the leaf. The conclusion caused
by the firing of the gun dislodged and
killed this pest and after that the to-
bacco rapidly made itself fit to go
where all the Vuelta Abajo crop finds
its way-into the cigars OF the royalty
and nobility OF Europe.
Here in Hawaii we have grown
our tobacco with the fine simplicity
We use in growing sorghum. That is TO
say, we have applied no science to it.
Perhaps if one were to experiment in
the Connecticut way or under the gull
dance of an expert Cuban overseer, the
Honolulu cigar would come to rival the
Havana and Manila kinds in the mar
kets of the world and fully control the
tobacco business of the Pacific Coast
