REMAINING A BACHELOR.

President Schurman of Cornell university might
find himself hard pressed if required to give salts
factory reason for his assertion that every man IS
under an obligation to marry and provide for wife
and family 81 have no patience, he said to this
years graduating class, for the college graduates
who deliberately elect bacheOrdom. In this country
where there is no place for drones and idlers the
primary duty of every man is to earn living, but
this the lowest expectation that can be had OF you
1t is equally your duty to provide for wife and
family. The college man who deliberately leads a
single life, whose social circle is the club and whose
religion is a refined and fastidious epicureanism, is
not man 1t would not be worth while maintain
ing colleges and universities for the production Of
froth like that"
If this obligation exists, who imposed it and to
whom is it owng-to the state, to womankind or to
the mans selfa Christianity does not teach that it is
a mans duty to enter matrimony. On the contrary,
the oldest Christian tradition exalts vrginity and
eelbacy as more sanctifed state than wedlock. And
if President Schurman does not base his proposition
ON religious ground, on what does he base itG
Surely no agnostc will contend that the natural or
physical law commands a man to marry and cleave
to one woman and multiply like the seed of Jacob.
The agnostc doctrine is that the survival of the fit
test the law of the universe and of this doctrine
corolary is that each man must look out for him
self According to the agnostic theory, there is no
such thing as duty and the guiding motive of con-
duct should be sef-interest True men feel that they
have duties, and they respond to generous impulse,
but in this they are illogical 1t is only because we
are inveterately illogical that we continue to be
human.
But whether or not men are under an obligation
to marry, it is TRUTH derived from experience Of
human nature, that preacher will never drive man
to marry by telling him that it is his duty. Men
marry, as other men elect to be bachelors because
that course seems the pleasantest to them An argu
ment showing conclusively that marriage is worth
mans while-and such an argument would not be
difficult to compose would carry more weight and
bring about more marriages than a sermon threaten
ing anathema and hell-fre to bachelors.
Perhaps the wisest disposition Of the whole ques
tion would be to leave it to the women. Men will
fall in love and marry when the right girl and some
times when the wrong girl, comes into their ken
Neither an epicurean cynical nor an agnostic
philosophy-if they are not the same-will prevent
a man from taking wife when the fit seizes him.
Philosophers may reason on one side or the other
Of this ISSUE but human nature will not change and
so long as we have human nature as it is, we shall
have marrying and giving in marriage.

Master OF Schooner Evans Saves Money
LOADING Cargo.

Master OF Senooner evans saves Mohoy
loading Cargo.
Unusually quick dispatch was given
the American schooner David h, Evans
which is ready for sea for Shanghai,
china. with 100000 feet of oregon flr,
The vessel arrived in the harbor on
June and two days later began taking
on cargo, It required Just is working
days TO get her ready for the sea, Free
quently four or Ave weeks are con-
sumed In putting the amount OF ium-
her she carries into a vessels hold.
by employing longshoremen himself
to do the loading instead OF making
a contract with the stevedores, Cap-
tain C. II. White, commander OF the
Evans, says he saved 5000. He esti-
mates that this amount win be SUN.
Client to meet all expenses Of dIscharg-
Ing the cargo at Shanghai, and he VIII
be Just that much ahead by the trans
action. The captain explains that the
stevedores wanted 30 sents thousand
feet for putting the lumber aboard.
believing that the rate was rather high
he departed from the customary rule
and became q stevedore himself. He
employed longshoremen at the union
rate OF wages OF 40 cents an hour and
after figuring up his expense account
he declares that II cost him an even
s700 to get the cargo aboard, Had he
given the contract to the stevedores
he says he would have been obliged to
pay out 5000 for the work
Until recently the cargoes have been
loaded on the American lumber car
riers by the ships crew. But short
time ago the longshoremen's union
concluded that It's members were en-
titled to the work and rule was
passed by the organization TO that
effect. SO far the captains have re-
spected the unions stand In this par
ticular. and do not insist on pressing
their sailors into service while in port,
although by doing so they claim that II
would represent n big saving TO their
owners. The sailors only get s26 or
$50 month. while the longshoremen
receive 40 cents an hour.
To save the necessity OF paying his
sailors to live in ease and idleness
while the longshoremen were loading
the vessel the captain paid them OF,
and they came ashore. When II came
time to get men TO sign TO make the
outward trip he experienced some diffi-
Guilty. Finally he secured crew from
the sailor clearinghouse men, paying
at the rate of sS5 a head, and so he
lost something on this transaction.
During his short stay in port the cap
tain asserts that he has had wide and
varied experiences with stevedores,
longshoremen. sailors and boarding
house men.
On her last voyage from and to this
coast the Evans made good record.
She carried a cargo of lumber from
Gray's harbor, discharged 1t and went
to Newcastle and took on coal which
was taken to Honolulu. She dis
charged the coal and sailed for the
Columbia river. arriving here in Just
six months and IL days from the time
she set sail from Grays harbor.

SOUND THE
BATTLE CRY
That was Expected by Logan
County Democrats.
NIBLACK IN THE CHAIR
Convention was Made up of
Jones and Hearst Boomers

Guthrie, o. T, May At was the in
that the Democratic convention of Logan
county, assembling in the capital city,
should sound the cry that would lead the
| Democratic hosts to victory. 1t was
thought that convention which would
be controlled by such Democrats at Judge
Dale Judge Bierer and Editor Leslie Nib
lack would make a platform that would
be a safe guide for the Democrats of the
whole territory.
1t is now beginning to dawn on the
minds of the Democratic leaders in other
sections that Leslie Niblack was silenced
by being made chairman of the conven-
ton and thaken from the floor of the
convention, where he could have done
some effective work. and that the ad-
vice of such Democrats as Judge Dale
and Judge Bierer was totally ignored in
the Democratic convention last Saturday.
The convention was packed by a combi-
nation of Jones and Hearst boomers that
had no definite idea about making a
plank for a platform. The only thing
that the convention was certain of was
that it was in favor of Jones and Hearst
and was '.agin the niger
Just as soon as the Democrats got
chance to sleep off the effects of Satur-
days convention they began to kick on
the anti-negro plank in the platform and
to declare that it was passed in the in
terest of Bird Mcclure. They are today
declaring that Mcclure was elected two
years ago by Democratic votes and that
this resolution is an attempt to furnish
an excuse for the same thing this year.
It is today being pointed out that the
negroes are all Republicans, and that
everybody knows it. Then to single out
the black Republicans and declare in the
platform that the party is opposed to
them holding office and saying nothing
about the white Republicans is plain
inference that the country will be safe
if white Republicans are elected. There
has been nobody arise to remark that
there is any negro blood in Bird S. Nc
CURES veins and for that reason it IS
being pointed out that a Democrat can
stand on the only definite plank in the
county platform and vote for Mcclure.
This is considered the biggest fall-down
and tumble heels over head ever made by
a county convention in Oklahoma. The
Logan county followers of Jones are urg-
ing his nomination on the grounds that
he can get enough negro votes to carry
Logan county, and now Mcguire Demo-
Gratis are asking if it is a virtue for black
Republicans in Logan county to vote for
Edgar Jones. how can IT be crime for
white Democrats in other counties to vote
for Bird Mcclure?

Checks viii Be Issued to the Creeks
Nav is,

Muskogee, I. T., May MAY 10 has
been definitely decided upon as the date
for beginning the payment of the loyal
Creek fund. This will be in charge Of
the Indian agency Most of the payment
will be made in this city. but a small
portion will be disposed of at Okmulgee.
The payment will be made in checks
The largest estate in this fund is that
of the late. Topoth Yahola, who was chief
of the Northern or Loyal Creeks. His
heirs will get $1,000 There are many who
trace their descent from Yahola. but until
this week it was believed he had no
lineal descendant. However, a young
Creek has now come forward with the
claim that he is the great grandson of
the chief. He says he will enjoin the
agency from laying the money to the
other heirs

All Nature Points the Way.


The showers that bring forth blossoms
and make nature more beautiful often
cause untold misery to mankind IN whose
blood the DOiSCnS of the past winter have
accumulated. When all nature seems 10
be glad we sometimes experience our
greatest ills The important thing IS 10
make this life worth while-Consider each
disappointment and ill-feeling as so much
experience and as a temporary lesson set
for us to learn. When you catch cold
suffer from indigestion or notice the skin
breaking out with pi-nples let this furnish
you warning that the blood is in disorder.
Profit by the experience of others and
quickly drive the poisons from the blood
and build up the system with reliable
remedy-such as DR.. PieTce's Golden Med
ical Discovery which has stood the test of
lime and for over third of a century has
sold more largely than any other blood
remedy. Thousands attest 10 its remedial
value as witness the testimonials which
have been published for the past thirty

call mal-nutrtion. which is attended with

because they do not enter the system and
are not absorbed into the blood. with the
exception of the alcohol, which shrivels up
tho red blood corpuscles when it does come
in contact with them. We recommend
this botanical extract of Dr. Pierce be
cause it contains no alcohol, and offers a
reasonable and scientific method Of treating
the blood, by improving the uutritive func-

the accident happened and, although his
friends commenced digging at once TO get
him out, they believed him dead. So
sure were they that Ward was dead that
his coffin had been ordered from town.
After taking out several wagon loads Of
earth and stone it was discovered that he
was not only alive but practically un-
harmed. When the accident occurred
Ward threw his arms UP in such man

space so that he could breathe but

this manner for eight hours
