ONLY WELL SHOULD MARRY.

Ian MacLaren's Views Cover Men and
Ian MacLaren, interviewed on his
statement that no man should marry
unless he could obtain frst-class
life certificate from an insurance COM
pany, gives his views on the question
in general.
The famous Liverpool preacher
would include women as we'll as men
in the cond dition. He does not think
those who are physically or mentally
unsound have any right to marry, in
view of the misery which might fall to
the lot of the children of such parents.
81 do not mean," he said, ::that a
delicate person should not marry,
because many such people are con-
stitutionally sound and quite entitled
to marry, provided they are, in an in
surance sense, frst-class lives. The
reason I recommended man before
good insurance company was be-
cause in that way he gets the benefit
of an unprejudieed and independent
examination.
insurance companies don't ex-
anime merely for the mans own bene-
lit, but for the protection of their
funds. A certificate of health given
after a severe and unbiased test would
Justify marriage. { hope the time
will come when the state will not
sanction marriage unless men and
women can qualify for such a health
certificate. ..-..
Remember, I am not alluding
merely to physique in an athletic
sense when speaking of apparently
healthy people, but to physical and
mental sOundness in the strictest
medical sense. You may see at any
time men six feet high, with broad and
well-built chests, walking about the
streets who are, nevertheless, unsound
from an Insurance point of view, and,
therefore, from a marriageable stand
point.
"One can only utter word of warn
ing and be careful not to offend the
susceptibilities of his hearers.''

enough that: the constitution provides
for such a body, but the trainers OF
that document were only human and

a STATE FARCE.

- STATE FARCE. 8fH
Indeed! It remains for q Demo-
cratic governor to Inform a Republi-
can Legislature that no State auditor
is to be TRUSTED to act as "a member Of
a timber trespass board. Wow! Gov.
johnson should remember that heis
but one of the executive officers Of the
State. There are five others besides
himself-the lieutenant governor,
State auditor, treasurer, secretary of
State and attorney general. They are
all elected by the people and it is to
be presumed that they are honest and
worthy OF the trust imposed in them by
the people who elected them. The
present State auditor, S. G. Iverson.
was elected to serve the people as one
of the executive officers of the State,
and the people believe him honest and
capable, and know no reason why he
shouldn't be just as honest and safe a.
man as. the governor or any other
State official. He has been charged
with a reckless disregard of the law
and mismanagement of his official
duties. AS Chairman Bowling of the
house committee on public accounts
and expenditures says:
''The former public examiner has
said that the present State auditor has
been lax in the enforcement of the
law, in common with his predecessors.
Mr.. Iverson has stated that the as
sertion was false. Somebody has
lied and we want to find out who it is. -
A former attorney general to whom
had been referred the Sam johnson
reports of the State auditors Office.
transmitted a report to ex-Gov. Van
SAINT last September, in which the ex-
governor was practically informed
that there was not enough in the
charges to justify the State in begin
ming any actions. The report made
Van SAINT awful mad, as mad as when
he was in the recent senatorial fight.
and he destroyed that report. He was
not willing to make it public lest it
might remove the stigma cast upon
the official character of ex-Auditor
Dunn. Not content with the malic-
ious slander on the official character
of Mr.. Dunn, Van SAINTS public;ex-
aminer tried to impeach the official
integrity of Auditor Iverson because
he dared to question some of the glar-
ing distortions of facts in the johnson
reports. . 4~-..,7. -
1t would seem as if the State farce
had dragged on long enough The
former State auditor and the former
governor no longer are members of
the executive department of the State,
but the farce is continued by Gov.
johnson who takes the whole mass of
campaign rottenness, places the ex-
ecutive seal on it and sends it to the
Legislature.
Now, the charges are true Or. they
are not true, they are gross slander
or they are not gross slander, they
are a rotten mess of campaign filth or
they are not. A Democratic governor
thinks they are worth the considera-
ton of the legislature. The Demo-
Gratis and their hirelings used the
johnson reports in the last campaign,
bound as an official document and
they are now looking for an endorse
ment of their action by Republican
Legislature. ~. s,
If the Johnson reports and the gov
ernor's charges are true the endorse
ment will be complete. The whole
farce has reached climax. Now let
us have the truth

THE STATEHOOD BILL.

| THE STATEHOOD BILL
The United States senate has passed
the statehood bill which provides for
the admission of Oklahoma and In
dian Territory as the state of Okla
homa and the territory of New Mex
leo under it's old name. An amend.
ment was tackled on the bill-cuttine
Off that part of Arizona north of the
Colorado river and attaching that
picturesque part of the territory to
Utah. The action of the senate in
thus making a bad mess of the state
hood bill is being severely criticised
by the press of the country generally.
There is no question as to the fitness
of Oklahoma and Indian Territory for
statehood, as this section of Uncle
Sans domain is we'll settled with a
very Intelligent and industrious class
of people from those parts of the
country where progressive and intel
ligent people are born and bred. It
is true that Indian Territory, the
home of the "Five Nationsn and lot
OF squaw men and adventurers does
not furnish the very best material for
a state, but when it is annexed to
Oklahoma the whole will not make a.
| bad state at all. The total illiterate
male population over ten years of age
in Oklahoma is only SIS per cent of
the total population, very low per
centage, which ranks the territory
we'll up with the best states in the
Union. In Indian Territory the per
centage of illiteracy of the male pop
ulation, not including Indians of
course, is 1910, and this is not bad for
that section. Since the government
set off the Five Nations and other In
dians in Indian Territory and allotted
them land in a very generous manner
there has been a great influx of white
blood in the shape of white ''promot-
ers" looking for good squaws
possessed of some of the large slices
of Uncle Sans domain, and the white
population in that territory has in
creased at a very remarkable rate in
the last few years. There are now
several large and thriving cities in
the territory, and in the Choctaw and
Chickasaw nations there are many
organized towns with large white
population. The red man is being
rapidly assimillated with the white
man and it will not be many years
before the pure Indian blood will be
a thing of the past. The advent of
the white man was blocked in many
ways, and the Chickasaw nation COM
PEELED the white man who wanted to
marry a Chickasaw squaw to pay a
license fee of $1,000, but it is claimed
that there was but one man who ever
paid the fee, most of the land and
squaw grabbers getting in on the
ground floor for small fee. With
the expenditure of millions of dollars
| for the education and advancement of
the Indians of that territory the red
men have become very intelligent in
many cases and are today better fitted
for citizenship than much of the white
trash of other parts of the country
that has the benefit of citizenship.
With the territories of New Mexico
and Arizona conditions are very
much different. In New Mexico the
percentage of illiteracy of white popu-
lation over ten years of age is 1872,
while Arizona makes little better
showing, the per centage being 900.
This shows a very undesirable class
of people to form state government.

Making the Packing House Decision Eff
fective. @

Inefe is a very general expression
of doubt, in and out of the newspapers.
as to the practicability of so enforc-
ing the recent decision Of the supreme
court against the packing combine as
to bring to cattle raisers and consum-
ers the relief expected. The story of
the subterfuges and evasions by which
other antitrust victories have been
made fruitless is too familiar. The
Sherman law must apparently be the
only basis for action against the mem
bers of the combine. That affords
penal provisions, but is otherwise
weak. 1t provides no machinery for
preventing the acts Of combination,
restraint of trade, and oppression
other than ''the terror of the law.''
That terror hasn't in other cases
proved very efficacious. Had the ma
tional banks been left to. run them
Selves" guided only by few general
provisions and held to discipline only
by few statutory penalties for GER
tain acts, does any one suppose thew
would have been so obedient to law.
or would have won the popular con-
hdence or served the people as
efficiently as they have done? Other
great corporations, handling popular
interests IN way as Important, and
the ramifcations of whose business
are as extensive as those of the banks
If they also are to be regulated by the
government, will evidently need lust
the sort of close and intimate super-
vision that is exercised over the banks.
That is, they must take the govern
ment into their confidence and admit
It's agents to the utmost Familiarity
with their affairs. In no other wav.
1t would seem, can the management of
such business as that of the pack
lng-house combine be freed from the
temptation to avail itself of every ex-
pedlent for 'getting the best" of the
public. .-.
This is Judge Grosscup's idea-
Such intimacy and openness of DEAL
ing between corporations and the rem
resentatives of the peoples govern
ment as shall disarm suspicion and
opposition and insure square deal
for everybody-in the case of the
packing business, for. cattle-raisers.
butchers, transportation companies
and consumers, as we'll as for the
packers themselves. That kind Of
dealing can only be arrived at bv the
application of methods such as have
lifted our banking system to it's pres
ent plane. The objection to ssespion-
age" will not hold against incorpor-
ated monopolies or combinations which
"hog' an important business. r.
will be impossible, under government
supervision, to carry out the schemes
which have built up so many enormous
fortunes at the cost of the people: but
