The way to find out you are mil

If you wish TO learn you are a trust
magnate, just have three porters and
an elevator man in your employ go on
a strike.
TO be assured in the public prints
that you are well known club and
society man, you should get into a
scrape of some kind in which chorus

All that is needed to assure your
position as thoroughgoing sports
man is to get arrested for speeding
an automobile and haughtily pay your
fine.

INQUIRE NEEDS MONEY
FOR LAWYERS
Reason Of the Republican
Meeting to Be Held
Soon

II has developed that the actual
purpose for which the Republican ter
ritorial committee was called to meet
here June 20 is to devise ways and
means for raising additional funds to
assist B. g. Mcclure in defending his
interests in the contest begun by
William Cross for the seat of delegate
to congress. Each contestant is al
lowed $4,000 by the federal govern
ment but the Pawnee gentleman has
retained Washington attorneys, who,
Il is believed have exhausted a great
er part of the allowance.
The Republicans throughout the
territory have been very slow in con-
tributing 10 the defense of Mcclure.
Several months ago assessments
were made on the federal officeholders
and others and even members of the
supreme coust we're asked to send
their checks, Two OF me associate
justices paid their assessment and
were given receipts. Others declined
to contribute declaring the congress
sional fund was ample for all neces,
sary expenses. -~wE-
The Democratic contestant, Bill
Cross has been very fortunate In Sc,
curing financial aid, tmme,iistely ar
ter election the majority for Mcclure
beias so very small and with evi-
.dences Of fraud having been commit
led Il was thought hest that con
test be Instituted In Guthrie and
Oklahoma City and other larger
towns in the territory there was con
siderable heavy betting and those
who had their money at stake respond
ed very literally. 1t Is said friends
in the Indian territory have also con-
tributed and as result the Cross con
tributions are thought to be nearly
$4,000.

ot keeping hir testimony out Of court.
One OF the difficulties in brlaging
murderers to Justice In affairs OF this
Jett-white description is the fact that
no one dares to give evidence against
the accused. Furthermore. every jury
man knows that he takes his life In
his hands when he goes into the jury
boz. and the killing Of more than one
court officer proves the danger Of
serving in any capacity in one OF
these feud trials.
Il, has not been found possible TO
secure a competent jury in the Jett-
White case, 50 far. and the sessions Of
the court al Jackson can cnly be held
under the protection Of an armed
guard. In semi-civilized communi-
ties, the taking Of life is not regard
ed as heinous crime, and the private
adjustment OF quarrels by resort to
the shotgun is tolerated as justidable
Education alone can inculcate respect
for law and awaken the conscience OF
such community. The school house
is even more needed than the court
house in the dark districts OF the Ken
lucky and Tennessee mountain coun-
Try. where every man carries arms
and depends on a quick straight shot
to defend his rights and to revenge
Ms wrongs.

WARD BOUND


We find in the esteemed CONNER
cial-Advertiser published at Honolulu,
Hawaii territory, an Associated Press
cablegram which reads as follows
Manila, May 15.--T. Thomas For
tune. special labor commissioner who
has been here for some weeks study,
ing economic conditions, had recent
difficulty with the police which has
been ended by the government sending
him home"
Now that our Honolulu contempor.
Rry mentions the incident, We remem-
Der seeing in the newspapers, some
three 9r four weeks ago certain refer
ences to a difficulty into which Com
missioner Fortune was supposed to
have fallen. Our recollection, howev-
er, Is that IL was not President Roose-
vets special emissary Of whom the
Manila police had fallen afoul, but
the commissioners private secretary.
The details have escaped US. Com
missioner Fortunes part in the epi-
sode. so Far 40 the newspaper YER
sions at the time described It, was that
Of on intervening friend. The arrest
Of his private secretary filled him with
indignation, and he Is said to have
told the Manila police authorities what
he thought OF them Then ensued the
difficulty OF course, there may be
more in tho incident than we have
given here, The contemporary reports
were quito meager end, even at thar,
We dio not treasure them for future
roforence. .-i---, ,en-'ea
Commissioner Fortune is described
in tne Honolulu paper as looking like
a cultured spaniard," He frankly
tells ihal ne was born IN slavery. and
that Indian. Spanish and negro blood
flows IN his veins" Here is a combln.
alton of which anything might be ex-
pected-the hauteur and the chivalry

perturbable philosophy Of Spotted Tail

gaan. One can readily Imagine that
man so constituted would oppose 10
the mal'reatment OF his private secre-
tary o quick impassioned resentment.
And one can with equal ease enter into
the feelings OF the Manila police in
the presence Of such a fiery demon
stration.
Commenting ediforially apon the cp-
isode. the Commercial-A says
1T Thomas Fortune remarked when
here: Booker Washington breaches
the gospel o. work; preach the gospel
OF dissension. Il Is well enough for
our people to work, but they did that
when they were slaves. Freedom is
nobler privilege than toll; and II my
race IS 10 set iis rights IL must fight
for them man of this tempera-
ment could hardly get IN in Manila,
where freedom OF speech and print is
restricted. ard where there are many
racial abuses calling Tor redress.
Sooner or later he would clash with
the police. Now thar the collision has
come Mr.. Fortune Notwithstanding
his rank as special labor commission
er, is returning home as rapidly as
sisted immigrant"
President Roosevelt's special com
missioner. however. is now enroute for
Washington. and we shall, in good
time. hear what he has 20 say Of the
opportunities in Hawaii and the Phil
ippines for negro persons who prefer
dissension &c honest labor.
