CURRENT COMMENT.

The Norfolk CVa) Landmark Dem)
says: Those Philadelphia Irishmen
who mobbed 'McFadden's Row of
Flats ought to be able to understand
the strain which Southern people have
to endure when Uncle Toms Cabin
comes this way
The President began his Western
trip on All Fools Day. The Balti-
more Sun (Dem), taking note of that
fact, says: With the National Con-
vention comparatively near, Mr.. Roose-
welt doubtless will combine business
with pleasure. for he is not likely to get
another opportunity to reach SO many
ears before the presidential election
rolls around. 1t has been darkly hint
ed that some of the most fulsome
prophecies made for Mr.. Roosevelt's
future have come from men who would
rejoice in his defeat, and his real
friends have reason to hope that his
tour begun on All FOOLS Day will not
end amid the merry laughter of his
foes"
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
Qnd) discussing the cotton mill
strike at Lowell, says: 1.-The price of
raw cotton is over one cent a pound
higher now than year ago, and two
cents pound higher than two years
ago. This is one obstacle to granting
an increase of wages. Moreover, cotton
manufacturing is still a competitive
business, and the Lowell mills alone
or the New England mills alone, cam
not advance the prices of product in an
effort to make themselves good with
out danger of losing business to other
mills or other cotton manufacturing
sections. The promptness with which
the Lowell mills meet the strike move
ment by shutting down indicates that
they are IN a position where there is
not much choice between stonning yvori
altogether and going on at higher
wages. II promises to be a long ana
0ootless struggle"

New York is on the eve of another
municipal campaign. which promises
to be characterized by vigor. On April
IS district conventions will be held I'M
der the auspices of the Citizens Union
for the purpose of selecting delegates
to a city convention which is expected
to inaugurate another fusion movement
against Tammany Hall. The outlook
for fusion is regarded as very good.
Meanwhile Tammany is not idle. In
the last campaign Tammany was on
the defensive; in the one approaching
it will be on the aggressive. The ere
form" administration under Mayor Low
has fallen far short of expectations and
promises, which opens the way for
Tammany to make a sharp fight all
along the line. 1t would not be in the
least surprising to see the old Demo-
cratic organization victorious in the
election.

The American flag was peculiarly
vindicated in Trenton, N j., a few
days ago. The manager of the Swift
branch meat house at that place ce-
sired to pay d tribute of respect to
the memory of G. f. Swift, who had
just died, so he half-masted the flag
over the building Shortly "delega-
ton nearly all orwhom were foreign
born, waited on the manager and or
dered him to put the flag at full-mast
Instantly. on pain of having a number
of unpleasant things done to him and
the building. The delegation" de-
clared that the flag should not be desc
Grated by being half-masted in hon
or of any dead millionaire or trust
magnate." In response to the demand,
the manager ran the flag up to the full
hight of the mast.

Recently several newspapers of Phil
adelphia that publish Sunday editions
were indicted under an old blue law"
of l794, which prohibited the desecra-
ton of the Sabbath by the performance
Of work or the selling of articles of
merchandise on that day. The magis-
trate before whom the case was tried
discharged the defendants. ruling that
Sunday newspapers are a necessity of
modern life. and that in providing such
necessity the defendants violated no
constitutional law.

THE NAVY AND THE CANAL.

The first speech of the number of
speeches which the President will de-
liver on his Western trip deals with
the Monroe doctrine and our position
in the Western Hemisphere. These
subjects Of course include the isthnnian
canal and the navy.
The speech reads very much like
short message TO Congress. 1t contains
nothing that will attract much atten-
tion though of course what the Presi-
dent says is well said. The purpose of
it is apparently to point out that the
administration and the Republican
party have been faithful and active
in maintaining and strengthening our
position in the Western Hemisphere.
The facts in regard TO the Vene-
zuean imbroglio are recited and the
part this government took in bringing
about a settlement of the trouble be-
tween Venezuela and the allies is
stated. What that part was is well
known. That it was a creditable part
there seems to be no question.
The importance of the isthmian ca
nal is dwelt upon. The President calls
the two treaties in connection with
this great work-the Hay Pauncefote
treaty and the treaty with Colombia
among the most important to which
this country has been a party. Assum-
ing of course that the isthmian canal
win be a success, and there is no good
reason 10 doubt that it will, their i'm
portance cannot of course be overesti-
mated.
The navy is praised for its efficiency
and credit is taken apparently for the
effort the administration has made to
have it strengthened, particularly the
efforts it made in the last Congress.
The President is of the opinion that
If we make the navy what it ought
to be we shall never have occasion to
use it in defense of the Monroe doc
trine That doctrine is not a part of
international law, but if we MAINTAIN
a powerful navy it will be just as much
respected as if it were.
1t is pointed out that navy to be
efficient must be ready for action at a
moments notice. A war is fought to
it takes to build a warship. 1t was
because our men behind the guns in the
navy knew how to shoot that the Span
ish-American War was brought tc an
end so quickly.
In the course of his remarks on the
navy the President said Roasting
and clustering are as Objectionable
among nations as among individuals,
and the public men of a great nation
owe it to their sense of national self
respect to speak courteously of for
eign powers just as a brave and self
respecting man treats all around him
courteously."
Had the President reference to the
recent interview with Admiral Dewey
in which the Admiral suggested that
the maneuvers of our fleet in the Car
lesson for the Emperor William of Ger
many? 1t certainly looks so. If so,
it will no doubt receive the hearty ap-
proval of the German Emperor, since
the German newspapers have been do
ing a good deal of boasting about the
German navy since the publication of
the Dewey interview. While our navy
isn't given to Boosting it is probable
that the Presidents statement that it
is better to be silent and efficient than
boastful and unprepared will be re-
garded as timely

WHY THE IRISH PROTEST..

The emphatic protest made by Irish
men in theaters in New York and
Philadelphia to the play called NC
Fladden's Flats" is attracting wide
spread attention, and is the subject of
a great deal of newspaper comment. It
is evident that the movement inaugu-
rated by the Irish against plays in
which they are caricatured, was not
begun on the impulse of the moment
1t had doubtless been carefully consid-
cred, and probably there is an under
standing among Irishmen in most of
the larger cities to protest vigorously
whenever plays in which the Irish are
caricatured are put on the stage.
The argument has been advanced
that other peoples are caricatured and
do not protest, and that the Irish
make themselves ridiculous by protest.
ing when it is evident that there is
no intention to be offensive The an
swer is that it may be true that other
nationalities are caricatured, but none
of them is so outrageously and disgust
ingly caricatured as the Irish. Besides.
it is pointed out that there is no truth
in the caricature of the Irish that is
presented on the stage. There is moth
ing to be found in Ireland that in the
remotest degree resembles it. There
fore it is unjust to the Irish people. It
is in fact an insult to them and it
ought to be removed from the stage.
There is no doubt justice in this view.
A caricature that was originally in
tended to ridicule the Irish ought not
to be retained in the funny papers and
in theatrical performances. The Irish
are making a brave fight for some
thing like nationality. They are to own
the land of their country and then will
come demand for home rule. a de-
mand that will no doubt be granted I'LL
timately. 1t is said that the Gaelic
tongue is coming into favor again, and
it is certain that the public schools of
Ireland are as good as those of any
other country. 1t is not at all strange.
therefore. that the Irish people the
world over feel that a grave Injustice
is done than by the coarse and be-
sotted people who are put forward on
the stage as representative Irishmen.

An overwhelmingly funny practical
joke was perpetrated in Batavia, N. Y.
a day or two ago 1t was humorous
enough as matter of fact, to have
been an April fool joke, though it
came day or two ahead of time.

near a keg of blasting powder. On the
floor near the key there had been
spilled a small quantity of powder

CHILD WAS
CURIOUS
Picked Up Loaded She'll Near
the Track.
STRUCK II WITH AN AK
Dynamite Exploded and Near
ly Killed The Girl.

Enid, o. T.. Oct. 19--Saturday morning
the little 12-year-old daughter of Joe
Jobe was playing near the railroad back
of her home on Cherokee avenue with
three other children. With eyes open
for anything new, they found one of the
small circular dynamite shells that are
placed on the track as a warning of
dangerous track to engineers The chill
dren's curiosity was aroused to know
the contents of the box. They took it
into the hack yard and the little girl
took an ak and began to hammer on it,
says the Wave.
Without warning, with a tremendous
report, the bomb exploded, knocking the
girl senseless and frightfulIy injuring
away, a great cash cut in the head and
the cheek was badly iacerated. Two
ugly wounds We're made in one arm.
The other children fortunately were
not near enough 10 be hurt. Their cries
immediatel attracted attention and the
little girl was carried into the house
A physician was called who dressed the
wounds and made the child as comforta-
bic as possible.
The injuries themselves. while serious.
are not of a fatal nature. Unless bleod
poison should set in, OF which there is
considerable danger in such cases. the
child Will probably recover without much
difficulty. She was resting well at the
last report.

ONE DAY EARLIER.
Hearst Party Will Reach Oklahoma
City Next Monday

Guthrie, o. T., Oct. 12.-Congressman
Mcclure, while in the city today, re-
ceived a telegram announcing that the
Hearst congressional party which leaves
Chicago to tour the territories in the in
terest of statehood, will arrive in Okla
homa one day earlier than heretofore an
nounced. The special train will reach
Amarillo, Tex, next Sunday evening at
7:3O o'clock and will be in Oklahoma
City the next morning at $50 o'clock,
travelin COVER the Choctaw. From Okla
homa City the party will go as far south
on the anita Fe as Ardmore. and from
Ardmore the special train will leave for
Guthrie by way of Shawnee. From
Guthrie the party will go TO Oklahoma
City and will return to Guthrie Tuesday
noon, remaining in this city three hours,
then leaving for the east. The trip in
Oklahoma is not an extensive one and
many cities asking for the party will
be disappointed.
It is probable that Congressman Nc
Guire and Governor Ferguson will join
the congressional party at Amarillo Sun
day evening. leaving Oklahoma City on
Sunday morning.
Plans will be made by Guthrie citizens
to give a reception for the visitors some
thing on the order OF the reception given

ALLISON ON
STATEHOOD
Iowa Senator Gives His Views
on That.Subject.
CONGRESS MAY NOT ACT
Indian Territory Likely to De-
lay the Star.
CONGRESS MAY NOT ACT

Guthrie, o. n, Oct. PA letter re-
ceived here from Senator w. B. Allison
of Iowa, gives his ideas On the statehood
question. The letter is as follows:
Last year, when the admission of Ok
lahonna as a state was before the senate,
I believed it was wise for the old Indian
territory with its ancient boundaries to
become a single state. l have seen moth
ing as yet to change that opinion, al
though I recognize fully the rapid deve!-
epment and growth of the territory OF
Oklahoma, but when that territory was
organized ii was the general sentiment
that when a state was created the Indian
territory should become a part OF IT.
appreciate the inconvenience to the ter
ritory of Oklahoma to be temporarily
deprived of statehood, but do not think
that if proper provisions are made IN a
statute providing for a single state in the
whole territory, Oklahoma would be III
jured thereby, although it might delay
for a short time her admission to the
union.
.As to whether Oklahoma will be able
to secure a mmajority for immediate ad-
mission excluding the Indian territory
proper, l do not know. l should think
it somewhat doubtful, and I do not see
why absolute provision cannot be made
by law, just to the present area Of In
dian territory and its inhabitants, and
also just TO the present area of Okla
homa and its inhabitants.
II do not know how the present condi-
ton of Indian affairs in the Indian ter
ritory proper may effect the question,
but L should think the best solution of it
would be to give the people a government
there and have them work out their own
destiny in a state government with Ok.
lahoma as a part of it.
What course congress may take in this
matter at the coming session, 1 do not
know, as 1 have not heard the subject
mentioned since adjournment last spring.
l have read some literature on the sub
ject, but have not changed my opinion
in any way. / shall examine the queS-
ton, however, if presented for consider
alton at the coming session and do what
seems best and wise to do after such ex-
animal tiOn'
