SPIRIT or THE PRESS.

The observation may be somewhat
time-worn but we venture once more
TO remark that Chandler ought to be
doing something In the line Of pros
pecting for oil. Some cf the smaller
towns in the county are guing pluckily
ahead and despite the difficulties Of the
present situation. some one Of them is
going TO succeed before long Not
withstanding the present very low
prices of crude oil, the territory towns
which have had the nerve TO keep on
going tim they succeeded are enjoying
such a boom as would seem mighty
good TO the residents of any Of the
other territory towns. Chandler is not
much Of a quitter, and we should not
begin now So far as We know we
might with a little effort and expense
get into the manufacturing class along
with Tulsa and some Of the other live
towns Why not get into the process
sion at once.-Chandler News

THE Dawn IN RUSSIA

At last Russia halls the dawn of twentieth century
progress and enlightenment. The rising Of the sun Of
liberty will follow although It's full enulgence may not
be disclosed The Russian people are dazed by the
cars manifesto. 1t to them with suddenness
parallel to the Lincoln proclamation of emancipation for
tho southern slaves The stod nature Of the average
Russian makes It difficult for him to comprehend the
full Import of the concession made by "the autocrat
of all the Russas" It VIII take time for him fully to
realize the momentous political change that has been
wrought and still time for him to recognize its
mighty significance.
Not since the era Of the MongoI hordes IN Russ,a
has there been such internal convusion of the en-
pre as has recently been Witnessed there Even the rule
OF the Mongol khans through the long period of 24o
years ending in 1880 scarcely less oppressive to the
masses than has been the rule of Nicholas IT, II ia
not strange that the blunted senslbtIes of the Rus
sian people should awaken slowly in the dawn of po
cal liberty which breaks on the Russian horizon
VIII take time for Russia 10 work out It's salvation
under the new conditions of constitutional and repre-
sentative government, but the problem will be solved
ultimately IL is long way from condition Of abso-
lutte monarchy and autocratlc power to such cond-
ton as Will result from the cars concession But the
passage VIII be made 1.-THE Russian people will adapt
themselves to condition Of political freedom and Rus
sia will take its place among the relatively free nations
of Europe
Only second in interest to the czar's manifesto SO
far as the American people concerned is NJ Whites
telegram directly following the royal decree 1t is the
voice Of the new potential head of the Russian empire
that speaks to the American people the first public
words following his elevation to the premiership 81
am sure, says the premier the American people, who
understand what freedom is and the American PRESS
which voices the wishes Of the people, will rejoice with
the friendly Russian nation at this moment" etc.
Again the old national friends-the United States
and Russa-clasp hands and the cordial relations
that always existed prior to the late in the orient
The temporary GOODNESS caused by the trend of Amer
can sympathy toward the Japanese was removed by
President Roosevets successful peace overtures and
now the kindly attitude Of Premier Witte head of
the constitutional government cemens the olden time
friendship of the two countries.
In response to M Whites compliment in first ad-
dressing the American people concerning the mighty
change wrought in Russia the United States is first
among the nations to congratulate Russia and to wish
it everlasting government in which the
people will be apowerful in shaping their political
institutions.

INSURANCE COMPANIES AND SAVINGS BANKS

labor that many congressman deving there for
which to base bills aiming put the insurance busi

are working plans to provide government insur-
bureau to control both fire and life insurance bust

introduced at the opening of congress which will sweep
away all intermediate steps and provide that the United
States shall go into the life insurance
and the fire and marine insurance business wel
No striking example than this could be given
to show the wisdom of the who framed the federal
constitution. By drawing the line sharply between
the functions of state federal government they
aimed to avoid just such dangerous precedents as the
above alluded to. There is clearer warning on
tne part or the trainers of the constitution than that

general government and consequent emasculaed nowo
of state government.
