these charges, but the stay-at homes.
The Beers in the field send their fam
ilies to the British to be taken care Of
so that the fighting men will not be
hampered by the care Of them. While
there were but 5000 children attending
school I'm the Orange Free State before
the war started. there are 1900 at
school now under the British govern
mental rule.
1t is repeatedly charged that the
British have driven the Boer in South
Africa three times from one position to
another till finally he took refuge
across the Vaal river where he Is now.
In 1881, after the affair at Majuba
Hill. Sir Evelyn Wood recovered lost
ground and wired his government that
he held the Transvaal and the Boer
army in the hollow of his hand. The
queen sent word to Sir Evelyn Wood
to spare the Beers and granted them
the independence of the Transvaal un-
der certain conditions. among which
were equality to foreigners who should
come to the country to make IL their
home. The Beers failed to keep the
conditions They made constant raids
upon the territory across their border,
and the treatment of the uitlanders
who were making the land of the Beers
ten times as valuable and who paid
nine-tenths of the taxes, who educated
their children and developed their
mines, was far from magnanimous.-it
was intolerable. No emigrants, civil
lized, and of nine-tent more economic
Importance than the natives, would
long endure 1t. And 1t is not to be ex-
pected of Englishmen who belong to a
froward and a stiff-necked race.
The bigger animal is not always the
aggressor. An elephant puts his foot
upon the adder who has stung him.
But the adder is such little. such a
quiet reptile, good to her family and
ignorant of how her sting hurts and
kills,-surely the elephant is a great
big bully for killing such a little
thing.

extend her South African territory.
The opinion is contrary to the ac-
knowledged history Of the negotiations.
Nine tenths Of the taxes were paid by
the uitlanders who constantly COM
planned of their powerlessness to cor
rect abuses and of unjust exactions
from which they suffered. Negotia-
tions for the relief of the uitlanders
were pending when Kruger declared
the conference at an end and the Beers
fired upon the English soldiers. That
England was utterly unprepared Is
admitted by the Beers themselves who
congratulate themselves for taking the
British unawares. Dom Paul thought
on account of the current popularity
of republics and the prejudice in favor
of the smaller combatant that he
would have foreign aid. But notwith-
standing the difference in size, the
smaller of the powers that are now
about to conclude peace in South Afri-
ca is. and has been from the first. in the
wrong. The Transvaal has drawn only
unintelligent sympathy and no mate
rial aid from the other powers i'm this
struggle. There are plenty OF Americans
who are willing to vote for a resOlu-
ton of sympathy for the Beers and of
disapproval Of the English. But these
people have not investigated the
trouble, it's origin, Englands attempts
at pacific compromise before the war,
or the fatuOus craftsmanship and Gu
pidity of Dom Paul Kruger.
Rev. DIR. Joseph Hertz. who was a
member of the Lord Milner high or
advisory committee in South Africa
and chaplain of the Rand rifles, has
just arrived in this country. When the
war broke out Mr.. Hertz was expelled
from johannesburg by Mr.. Kruger for
being a uitlander. He has since visit
ed many of the British concentration
camps in South Africa.
He says: 1.-THE stories of the British
cruelty toward the wives and families
of the Beers in the camps are absurd

inal character painting. the "Rudder
Grange" series Is immeasurably su-
peri0r to THE Lady or the Tiger"
which owes its popularity to the fact
that 1t is a puzzle. Pigs in Clover
or the fourteen puzzle were not invent
ed by a genius, but more than half Of
the seventy-five million tried to work
them. Pomona in the Rudder Grange
series Is a servant girl. capable, honest.

humOr that accompanies the exposition
of her annals is human and illumin-
ating; it has flavor of it's own and
to one who has grown accustomed to
1t nothing else can take its place. 1t is
said that the Rudder Grange series was
offered to more than one publisher be-
fore 1t was accepted. 1t is a likely story.
Frank Stockton had to make his own
public; he had to create a taste for the
kind of writing he alone could do. A
few years ago, shoppers were asking
what were the peculiar things that look
like Usage oranges. Now great many
people take grape fruit as a matter of
course with their oatmeal. The flavor
Of Mr.. StOckton's humor is as tart and
refreshing as when it first appeared.
1t is a hybrid and 1t does not lose with
age the hybrid flavor. His stories.
written in the beginning of old age,
are as vigorous as those of his youth.
Simple, naif. shrewd, typical Ameri-
can, Frank Stockton deserves to go
down to pOsterity with unfaded laurels,
and 1 hope pOsterity will look at this
matter reasonably and grant him the
laurel for which his petitioners do
humbly pray.

Boer and Beiton

In spite of the efforts of judges and
the conscience of jurors, it is probable
that many innocent men accused of
crimes have been punished. There are
certain universal human instincts by
the operation of which truth is OBJ
scured. For instance, when some one
Is killed, the public clamors for the ex-
ecution of the murderer. A man is ar
rested on suspicion, and occasionally
before he has had the human right of
trial, he is taken away from the sheriff
by the mob and hanged or burned.
Afterward each man who assisted in
killing the prisoner excuses himself by
rejecting on the barbarity of the mur-
der which exasperated the community.
This insistence upon scape-goat il
seen in the child who falls down and
either strikes the obstacle against
which his feet tripped or blames his
nurse. The Hebrews sacrificed a lamb.
Modern travellers abuse the conductor
when anything happens to delay the
car. 1t is rarely the motor man or the
conductor who Is responsible for the
delay of an inter-urban car. but no
matter, there must be a scape- goat and
the president Of the company is spend
ing his time in sybaritic ease far, far
away from the reach Of an exasperated
car-full of pioneers. The other day in
this city the power gave out and the
car stood still. The conductor was a
little man, patient and good-natured
He wore G. A. r. button. He had
fought for his country and many OF
the passengers he considered his
friends. But neither gratitude nor
friendship stood the strain when the
power gave out. All the men on the
car glared at the little man for being
conductor of a car that was propelled
by power that had dropped off into
the earth somewhere blocks away.
Some Of the women made spiteful re-
marks into the air after the manner of
women. The little conductor went out
into tine street with his eyes full of
tears at the illogical victimizing of an
innocent man. This BOer talk is in
spired by the search of a scape-goat. A
number of soldiers, Boer and Briton,
have been killed in the Trans
vaal. England is rich and
great country with a wonderful
history Of achievement and victory.
The Transvaal is a small republic.
Therefore the war Is Of England's
picking. At least two persons out of
three agree that the English govern
ment desired to go to war with the
Transyaal because England wanted to

Honest John Craggs.

John Craggs has announced his
candidacy for the nomination of Couty
Treasurer of Caddo County subject to
the action of the Republican con-
vention. Uncle John, as every one calls
him is one of the best known and most
popular men in Caddo county. Every
man woman, and child in Anadarko is
his friend and he always greets you
with a hearty hand shake and "a genial
heart warming smile. Yet if their is u
man in Caddo county who has cause
for being sad it is uncle John.
He has lived in Oklahoma for years
and for the past four or five has been
in business in old Anadarko and the
Agency.
Business reverses overlook him and
he was compelled to make an assign
ment, but he did not avail himself of
the bankruptcy law and pay l0c or l5c
on the dollar, but said to his credit
ions. Here is my home, my stock, my
horses and buggy, take it all, take
every thing l have and if they are not
sufficint, [ will go to work and earn
enough to pay my honest debts, dollar

Kind reader, did it ever occur to you

thousand and if the Republican party
should win this fall, they could have
no more efficient, honest, trustworthy
officer than Honest John Craggs.

The late Philip d. Armour once told
me that he did not give his sons
dollars worth of stock in his immense
business until they had satisfied him
that they could make sausage" This
was the great packers homely way OF
saying that he did not take his sons
into the firm until they had shown
business capacity and industry. But
not many rich men in this country
follow the example set by the founder
OF the great house of Armour. The
young man with nothing but brains
has nothing to lose. What to do with
patrimony of 100000 does not bother
him or keep him awake at night. The
young man with 100000 will soon
realize that this is too small a sum
to risk in business in an age of COM
bines, when all productive and mer-
camille enterprises are conducted upon
a scale of great magnitude. Manufac-
turing is certainly out of the question;
and II he wants to embark in mer-
camille pursuit he must go to a small
town that is not yet invaded by a
mammoth department store selling
everything from a tack hammer to
store teeth says a writer in the
Forum.
But the young man with nothing but
brains is not confronted by such per-
plexities. There is no trust" in
brains. 1t may be possible to corner
the wheat crop or control the yearly
output of corn starch. but you cannot
corner the crop OF ideas. If the young
man looks about him and studies the
situation he will quickly learn that the
age of combinations is also the age OF
brains
