LYNCnlNG.

Fawaii has never yet had a lynch
ing, and it never wants one.
The man who advocates lynching is
an enemy to the commonwealth.
The microbe of lynching is more
deadly than the plague and more IN
fictitious than pest.
Lynching begins with the avenging
of some atrocious crime, but once the
example is set, lesser degree of crime
is considered sufficient provocation,
until finally petty larceny has been
deemed to justify lynching.
There have been occasions in frontier
communities, where justice appeared
to require summary action, there be-
ing no adequate machinery for secur-
ing it in any other way: but in no
civilized country with organized courts
is lynching justifable, or otherwise
than menace and a disaster to the
community in which it takes place.

WIFE'S MEAN TRICK ON HEI
HUSBAND

George Adams has a good story to tell
on himself regarding how he became an
expert in the culture of tomatoes. Early
in the season friend gave Adams a
few choice tomato plants, and he took
them home with view of determining
how tall such vines could be made to
grow and at the same time bear. He Sc
lected a place near the stump of a tree,
and, although his wife protested because
she had chosen the same place for a
flower bed. Adams won over the pro-
tests and planted the vines
He never knew until yesterday, when
he met number of friends whom his
wife invited to dinner, that she had
substituted rag weed for the vines, and
all summer adams had nursed with care
what he supposed were his choice to-
mato vines, and often wondered why
they never blossomed and bore fruit.
He had boasted that he had tomato
vines at his home nine feet high

BAD MEN FOR TOOLS.

The one plea we hear in favor Of the
election of unworthy men on the Re-
publican legislative ticket is that these
men can be handled" It seems to be
thought better to elect rascals and
ignoramuses to the Legislature and
handle" them than to elect honest and
competent men who do not need hand
ling and can bring to their duties the
qualities of wisdom, integrity and con-
scientiousness.
1t sickens men to whom Republican
ism means something more than graft
10 hear this excuse of handling and
10 see what sort of nominees It has
resulted in and what sort of fame
it has given the party. Already in
four years the party of moral ideas
has handled" the Boyds, the Wrights,
Kumalae, Enoch Johnson, C. Wilcox,
c. Clark. Vivian Richardson. B. H.
Brown, Judge Little, the Tramways
combine and the Solid Thirteen. No
wonder its hands need washing.
Think of Roosevelt and what he
would say to filing up Congress with
the graduates of county Jails, saloons
and gambling hells on the ground that
ne would find them easier to get along
with than honest men who think for
themselves. Think of asking him to
approve the election of fncompetents
10 Congress because it would be easier
10 lead them than men who have we'll
stocked minds and definite purposes of
their own.
The Republican party, wherever it
has permanently succeeded and been
of use to the people, has been party
Of high ideals. Even its most sus-
pected of machine bosses in various
States have not often cared to run
counter to public opinion in the mat
ter of unclean tickets; and where such
ventures have been tried, the result |
as in Delaware under Addicks and in |
New York under Lou Payn, was seen
in a political revolution.

1t is wholesome sign of better
politics that the scratcher is out in
force. One hears of him on all sides.
Wherever a group of reputable citizens
meets, he can be found urging the
necessity of voting for the best men.
The movement to get rid of the bood-
lers, grafters and ignoramuses bids
fairly to upset the machine program
in both the Fourth and Fifth districts
and create the best group of legisla-
tors. taken as whole. which Oahu has
contributed to the Legislature since
the days of the Republic.

If anybody handles" Carlos Long in
or out of the Legislature it will prob
ably be Clarence Ashford and John
Colburn. Long is emphatically their
man. and as they cannot get elected
to the Legislature themselves they are
naturally solicitous for Long to con-
meet. Is there any reason why the
voters of the Fourth District should
share that solicitude? Wouldn't they
be better suited with competent citi-
zen like c. ]. Hutchins or Captain
Campbell who would vote or all meas
ures according to his conscience?

Removal of Restrictions on Indian

taous Speed

Muskogees July 3o-The remov-
al of restrictions from citizens of
Indian blbod proceeds with tortu-
Gus progress when il was expected
that this would be rush" depart
ment of all the Indian offices here.
There are two reasons for this
First, it has been found that there
is very little money available for
this purpose and as a result the
force of men working III that divi-
sion is limited. AT the present
rate less than 10 cases per day e
handled. There are 700 appif
tions on hand and at the presei
rate it will take many months 10
catch up.
The second reason for slow pro-
gress lies it the factthat the greater
per cent of the applicants are COM
ing from fullbloods who can neither
talk or write English. This is
exactly the class Of persons that
was expected not TO apply. while
the more intelligent and educated
Indians are not applying in any
considerable numbers, The agent
does not incline to the plan of
removing restrictions from the full
bloods who are not competent to
take care of themselves i'll bust
ness transaction with a white man
and consequently he is inano hurry

roads have reduced the rate OF
coal from South McAlester tC
Chickasha to two dollars per ton.
This is a reduction of fifty cents
All the roads running into Okla

Coal at the mines is still selling

the same that it was a year ago.
South McAlester sells on the
market at $500 a ton. The Cat

ity and is bought for less at the
mines, sells for $500
Most of the local dealers bought
quantities in April
