II has been arranged that at the end
OF January the members OF both
houses Of parliament OF the newly or
GaniZed commonwealth OF Australia
viii set out in search Of a site for the
permanent Australian capital Of the
future, says the Chicago News. Mel
bourne, as agreed at the time OF the
federation, is only the temporary home
OF the government The excursion has
been mapped out by the government
leaders and will probably extend over
fortnight Eight or ten sites will be
carefully examined, a start being made
at Albury. a beautiful border town
among the vineyards between Victoria
and New South Wales. The late gov.
ernor, Sir Hercules Robinson, after.
ward Lord ROsmead. once delivered n
famous GRAFTON on federation at Al.
uury and designated the place as the
future metropolis OF united Australia.
That was twenty years ago. but Al
bury's chances are not now considered
as good as those OF Bombola and Or.
ange. while several other available
sites still have fair chances OF being
selected.

FLYNN AND STATEHOOD.

Delegates FLYNN speech before the
house committee Oh territories is o
most remarkable declaration He
said:
j DO not represent The indian terri
tory. do represent the people OF Ok
lahoms and I am sndeavo-.ng 90 pro.
tect their interests shall oppose, in
and out of season. any props siton to
admit the Indian Territory .. would
not be fair 20 my people % the were
compelled 20 bear the expenses Of the
Indian Territory in a government Of
both.
This shows just what the Leader
has charged all along that Flynn wa
not sincere when he introduced his
statehood bill and is not sincere or
even honest in the presentation Of his
arguments In support OF the measure
before the house committee.
In the same speech be declared
that be had no sympathy with those
who undertake TO mix political and
sectional questions In nthis matter"
This declaration. considered in the
light Of the well known reasons WHY
FLYNN IS so bitterly opposed 20 the
single statehood idea produced only
broad grin and the exclamation
rats" among Republicans and Demo.
Gratis alike throughout This territory
Delegate Flynn evidently realizes
the perilous position which confronts
him. for in his eagerness 20 defeat his
own measure he undertakes to soft
soap Democrats and Republicans
alike and not satisfied with this H.
calls before the committee Colonel
II. F. Havcns. and even the supreme
court Of the territory. both Of whom
seem TO have become touched with
the Flynn hypnotism and have sud
denly awoke 20 the weird and unsuh-
stantial conviction that nobody in
this territory wants single statehood
that an the public expressions of
conventions for the last five years
and the petitions sent 90 congress ON
tho lines OF single statehood were
mere vaporiugs without the shadow
of substantially IN them
Hayens told the committee chat the
Muskogee convention represented no
body and nothing and that the "poo-
pie Of Muskogco had no sympathy with
tho object OF IT'S promoters
You who believe that Flynn wants
any sort Of statehood for Oklahoma
just keep an eye on that gentleman
and his bill Statehood win come some
time in the future when he can no
longer work the Flynn nozzle. just as
free homes came TO our people when 10
could not longer be used as a personal
leverage.-Guthrje Leader.

The Ardmoreite looks at this sun
Elementary treaty business in the
same light as It would a nlckelin-the-
slot machine The internal part OF tho
machine is a foreign substance 10 all
outward appearances. A treaty be-
tween a few officials may be all right
in producing an understanding be
tween those officials, but when the
public are interested il might be well
that they should have some idea Of
what is being framed in the treaty
or in other words they would like 70
know how many cog wheels are com
ing in contact with their nickel The
policy of framing a treaty for the
people. without submitting It TO them
for approval or disapproval. is too
rotten TO carry any weight or Doodle

"THE OLD OAKeN BUCKET"
Horrors of Modern Science weaved
Around the Well.


The truths OF science are not often
expressed IN verse. and this fact serves
10 emphasize the few instances where
rhyme has been employed to convey
fact says the st. Louis Dispatch.
The following parody on The Old
OaEen Bucket" which is not only
amusing but contains some valuable
points in sanitation. is by Or. ]. c.
Bayles, formerly president OF the New
York city health board. and was read
by him at q meeting Of the Academy
II Medicine. We quote it from the col
umns Of Engineering News, which
says that the sanitary science convey
ed 100 the verses may seem elementary
indeed 90 our readers vet it needs but
the slightest knowledge Of conditions
about the average farmhouse and coun-
try village 10 realize that millions Of
people are living amid just such un-
hoaItlful surroundings IN entire iguo-
rance thar they have anything TO do
with causing disease and death. The
parody is as follows:
With what anguish OF mind I remember
uy childhood.
Recalled iu the light OF a knowledge
since gained.
The malarIous farm, the wet fungous
grown wildwood
The chils then contracted that since
have remained.
Tho scum covered duck pond. the pigsty
Jose by a.
ditch where the sour smelling house
a.uage fen,
amp. shaded dwelling, the foul barn
yard nigh IL,
Eut worse than all else was that terrible
well.
And the old oaken bucket, the mold crust
ed buchet.
The moss covered bucket that hung In
the well
Just think OF it! Moss on the vessel that
Tho water drank in the days called to
mind.
Ere knew what professors and scientists
gifted
The rottng wood fiber. the oxid OF iron.
The algae. the frog Of unusual size.
Tho water. impure as the verses OF Byron,
Arc things / remember with tears in my
eyes.
And to tell the sad truth-though / shud-
der 70 think OF it,
dear,
And often at noon. when I went there to
drink Il,
I enjoyed it as much as now enjoy
beer.
How ardent I seized it with hands that
were grimy
And quick to the mud covered bottom IT
fen;
Then reeklng with nitrates and nitrites
ana Shiny
with matter organic it rose from the
well.
Oh. had but realized in time to avoid
The dangers that lurked in that restilent
draft
ia have tested for organic germs and de-
stroycd them
With potassic permanganate ere 1 had
Quafed.
or perchance Ia have boiled Il and after
ward strained IL
Through filters Of charcoal ana gravel
combined.
or. after distilllng, condensed and regain
In potable form. with It's fifth left be-
hind.
How little knew OF the enterlc fever
Which lurked IN the water l yentured TO
drink.
But since I've become a devoted believer
In the teachings Of science I shudder TO
think.
And now, far removed from tho scenes
I'm describing,
The story OF warning 10 others I tell,
As memory reverts TO my youthful lmblb-
ing
And gag at the thought Of that horri-
be wen.
And the old oaken bucket. the fungous
grown bucket
In fact. the slop bueket-that hung in
the well.
