Plea for Oklahoma,

The fable of the frog that tried to
make itself as large as an OK now
proves to have been founded on fact,
and there is reason to believe that
the frog of the story was moved by an
inherited instinct to return to the
size enjoyed by his ancestors. Re-
ports from Norman. Okla, tell of the
discovery of fossil frogs as large as
oxen. How tame now appears the
story of the jumping frog Of Gala
veras. which Mark Twain made i'm.
mortal in its fame. What splendid
fields loom up for the writer's of pre-
historical novels. They can thrill
the imaginative mind by describing
the scenes when frogs left the
marshes to hunt for boys. and the
feasts upon frog-leg steaks which
rewarded the hero who rescued the
BEAUTIFUL maiden of the tree-dwelling
tribe from the toothless jaws of the
swamp giant which stunted trees by
his spring song and crossed green
rivers by a single hop. II indeed,
Oklahoma has within its borders
proof that it's land is capable Of pro.
ducing such superior inhabitants and
fine literary material it should no
longer be denied statehood.-Boston

CRIME
BY TRANSIENT RESIDENTS OF
THE STATE CAUSE FILLING
UP OF PRISON.
Governor Investigates and Finds That
Seventy-one Per Cent Of Criminals
Sent To P~enitentiary Are Men
Who Are In Wyoming Only Short
Time Or Passing Through.

The Cheyenne Leader Of yesterday
afternoon had the following of special
interest at this time:
AS the result of the closing up Of
the business affairs of the various
state institutions for the year 1902 a
startling condition of affairs was dis
covered to exist in the apparent extra
ordinary growth of crime and CORE
of convicts in the Wyoming peniten-
tiary.
The report of the state treasurer on
this matter showed hat during the
year 1901 the average daily attendance
Of %convicts at the Wyoming peniten-
tiary was 176, while during 1902 it had
jumped to 2O7. This was an increase
of II per cen in the number OF crimes
committed in Wyoming. while in the
past the increase had averaged be-
tween 4 and 7 per cent. an increase to
be expected with the corresponding in
crease in the population of the state.
When Governor Richards became &C
quainted with this fact he was deeply
surprised as he did o believe that
crime was increasing among the citi-
zens of Wyoming. He began an inves-
tigation to ascertain, if possible. the
cause of this condition in order to re-
move it If it lay within his power. The
result of this investigation was most
gratifying to the governor as it will
be to all Wyoming resiu ents.
He found that only 30 per cen of
the crimes committed in Wyoming
during the past veal were committed
by residents or citizens of the state
the other II per cent having been
committed by transients passing
through the state or having just ent-
cred it. such as Robert Bolden, the ne,
gro convicted here last week. Crime
is not increasing among Wyoming cit
liens, but on the other hand is de-
creasing, although the number Of
crimes committed by transients in the
state is or the increase with the grow
ing population and the vast number of
people who form our floating popula-
ton.

At Home and Abroad,

A few days ago an elderly gentle
nan and his wife were walking
along a well-known street when q
lady. in crossing the road. fell down.
The old gentleman rushed to her as
sistance and helped her in every pos
sible way. When he returned to his
wife she shook her fist at him.
Its all right, its all right" he
whispered.
Yes, l know it's all right" she
replied, hotly. Here's an unknown
woman falls down, and you pillow
across the street to help her; and the
other day, when l fell downstairs, you
wanted to know if l was p%racticing

Needed Regulation.

Gen. Andre, the French minister of
war, has issued a regulation forbid
ding all corporal punishment in the
French army. The new regulations
are aimed particularly at the compan-
les that garrison African posts. These
are composed chiefly of soldiers who
have been sentenced in ordinary
criminal courts before their enlist.

suboficers In these regiments is all
but beyond comprehension, and it is
no uncommon case to have death re.

modes If punishment is to smear the

apparently does not relish the statement
recently made in these columns that q
business man who had been travelling In
Orleans and Essex counties found nine
out of ten men that he met in favor oil
Hon. Zed S. Stanton for governor. The
Express and Standard says
We could safely warrant that not nine
men out OF ten in Orleans county have
ever been approached on the subject of
Hon. led S. Stanton for governor. We
could safely guarantee that nine out of
ten OF Orleans people have never thought
anything about it, and it would not be
very broad statement to make to say
that probably large percentage in
Orleans county never heard OF Hon Zed
5. Stanton anyway.
1t speaks well for the intelligence of the
citizens of Orleans county if large per-
centage have never heard of Mr.. Stan.
