THE TREATY OF WASHINGTON.

Indications are that, the peace con.

the fact that the city has practically

one of the oft-recurring proofs of
Americas growing greatness among

The man who has done much to
bring about this greatness is none
other than Theodore Roosevelt. Since
1898, when he quietly fastened across

destiny Of the nation of which he Is

shown his ability in the arts of diplo

okLAHoMA AND STATEHOOD.

II anything after PRESIDENT ROOSe-
velt's promise to help Oklahoma were
needed to make the people feel sure
of statehood, the gathering of newspa-
per men from all over the country
ought to make the Oklahoman- feel
doubly sure that their petition will be
granted and that they will be allowed
the privileges of statehood. Newspa-
per writer's from the east and west
met at Guthrie last week, partook of
Oklahoma hospitality there and at the
noted 101 ranch owned by Miller
brothers, and were given an opportun-
ity to become full of enthusiasm re-
garding Oklahoma and her prospects.
When they return home they will
write columns on columns of editori-
ais proclaiming the greatness Of the
would-be state and it's fitness to be
elevated out of the ranks of the terri
tories. With two such allies as the
President and the press, Oklahoma
will be hard to head off, in the next
session of congress.
Oklahoma is well fitted to assume
the dignities of statehood. In popula-
ton she outnumbers many of the pres

oTTUMwA's cHAuTAuoUA.

Only little more than two weeks
remains before the opening OF Ottum-
was first chautauqua assembly. The
committees In charge of the arrange
ments have done good work. They
have secured some of the best attrac-
tons to be found on any chautauqua
platform this year, they have arranged
for good grounds, they have secured
rates on the railroads centering in OF
ttumwa, they have assured all who at
tend the assembly of a week Of splen-
did entertainment of the highest class.
Last, but not by any means least, they
have set price for season tickets that
is SO low anyone can take advantage
Of the opportunity offered by the Chau-
tauqua association.
Now it is up to the people Of OF
tumwa to support the Chautauqua.
The association which has arranged
for this weeks entertainment is not
in the business for the money that is
to be made from it. The organization
Is composed of Ottumwa business men,
public-spirited people who have sub
scribed money to launch the enterprise
and have placed the price of admis-
sion as low as possible in order to
come out even financially. If there is
any surplus it will be kept in the
treasury and the association hopes that
Ottumwa will support her chautauqua
well enough to permit of the erection
of pavilion and the establishment OF
permanent headquarters for holding
the assemblies. 1t is hoped that the
chautauqua can be made an annual
event in Ottumwa. 1t is an educational
feature that every live, wide-awake
city should have and in order to make
this possible the people of the city and
vicinity must patronize it as it de-
serves.
The admission price for the whole
season it not too large to charge for a
lecture by any one of several of those
speakers who are to appear here. La
Toilette, Bryan. Hobson, Booker T
Washington and several others are en-
gagged to speak, and there will be, in
addition, several musical programs and
other chautauqua features.
Let's all unite to make Ottumwa's
first chautauqua her first annual chau
tauqua and a pronounced success.

EFT tn, WILLIAM JENNINGS.

1t has come, at last, just as all his
blind followers might have known it
would, but hoped against hope that 1t
would not. William Jennings Bryan,
the sage of the sage brush, the pro,
phet of the Platte, he of the cross of
gold and crown of thorns, has dropped
at last to the common level of the
common editor and has taken to de-
Tending himself instead of his views.
Long has Mr. Bryan been the one oasis
in desert full of just such editors,
but now he has fallen, and the vast
multitude that long has called him
inspired must now take it all back and
admit defeat and error,
AS long as he held to a defense of
his principles no matter how wild and
chimerical his theories might be, he
was in a class by himself as far as
country editors go. But now he has
fallen from grace. He is in line with
all the other publishers of little Sheets
who go to their editorial columns to
tell what they cannot we'll express
orally. From now on he will be en-
tirely too busy to give any thought to
the presidency. Bryan has fallen.
And If it had been worthy cause
it might have been some consolation.
But no-all such big issues as have
been thrust upon him were answered
by Mr. Bryan in an impersonal tone,
pro bono publico. But it remained for
a calf, measly, hornless Jersey calf,
to bring about his descent into the
common level. And the Commoner
has the following in witness thereof:
Mr.. Bryan is again the victim
of Misrepresentation He recently
bought a hornless Jersey calf at the
very reasonable price of $50, but be-
fore the calf could reach Fairview by
freight the republican editors had
changed it's sex and multiplied the
cost by ten. 1t is now represented as
$500 heifer, and one of the cartoon
lists has gone so far as to portray the
dem ocratic donkey as objecting to the
golden calf" and saying that either
the $500 heifer" or it (the Donkey
"has got to go!" 1t is pity that a
| farmer must be thus ridiculed when
he attempts to improve his stock. 1t is
only short time ago that he was be-
| ing held up to public scorn because he.
! in a jocular mood, said that he had
left his plow in the field and fastened
| to a democratic banquet. This state.
ment was made the text for several
sermons on the carelessness of far
mers who left their farm machinery
exposed to the weather. This was
really just criticism. and the editor
of the Commoner has taken it to heart
and will in the future be more careful
with his plow, but there is no excuse
for the gross exaggeration as to the
price of the calf.
There is just one single tiny ray OF
consolation for the disciples who have
read all his speeches and his Com
moner for SO long. He says: MIR
Bryan is again the victim of misrep
resentation," not I'VE are the victim,
etc. But even this fact brings only
short lived hope. The "we' will
come in time, for the Rubicon has
been crossed, and the sage might as
well have remained collector oil
debts instead of becoming a collector
of nick-names. For Bryan has faller
