GEORGE WASHINGTON.

Wednesday was George Washington's birth
day. 1t is day that will be remembered i'll
America as long as time shall last No other
man, except Abraham Lincoln, ever occupied
so warm place IN the hearts of the people of
this country is did George Washington.
Washpgton's career as a private citizen
helped to make him successful leader. He
was man of affairs, a benevolent citizen, in
terested III peoples welfare. Peace was far
dearer to him than war, for he said of war:
''My fist wish is to see this plague of mankind
banished from the earth" Remarkable words
for Washingtons tiules Neither politics nor
war was his business. The cause of American
independence received from Washington the
noblest and costliest gift. He gave himself
modestlv but Loyalty, when his country called.
This the people knew. They recognized him
as patriotic leader, and not a partisan poll
tician.
Every child should be taught to love and
honor the name of Washington.

SENAToR S. M. PORTER, of Caney, is the
father of the fight on the Standard Oil Compa-
ny. He figured that the state uses Z, 900 bar
rels of oil per day, and that the octopus was
exacting an unjust profit of $2 per barrel, be-
sides robbng the oil producers. So his bill,
calling for an oil refinery in the heart of the
oil fields, manned by conviots to cost 5000, 900,
was born. The greatest opposition to the plan
was based on its Socialistic aspect. But, to ali
arguments advocates of the state refinery say:
'Look what we did to the twiue trust. A Re-
publican Legislature established the state bind
ing-twine plant. 1t has been great success
right from the start. 1t has paid tor itself, and
it makes money, regardless OF the fact that en-.
deavors have heen made to break It down.

they did in Kansas. The pipe liue common
carrier bill throws open TO the producer all
conduits for the conveyance of crude oil and
fixes a schedule OF charges for the enforced
pipe service.
Tie passage of these two bills in Missouri
is to be asked because the Standard Oil Com
pany has its big refinery at Sugar Creek, near
Kansas City, Sugar Greek being across the line
in Missouri. Without these measures being in
effect in Missouri, Kansas could control the
price of hauling oil to Sugar Creek from the
wells 10 the Kansas line, but the railroads
could charge what they pleased from the state
line to Sugar Creek, and as soon as the oil
flowing through the pipe line to the refinery
here crossed the state line at Mas!in, Kas., it
would be beyond the coutrol of the Kansas
law, and the prices which were in effect in
Kansas would not be binding upon the S,aud-
ard Oil Company in Missouri.

Ir may be noticed that the bill providing
that the State treasurer shall deposit the funds
of the state in ten different banks, and that the
state shall get the interest on the deposits, has
not become Jaw. State Treasurer Kelly is il
the lobby all the time the legislature is in ses-
siou, working against the bill. II rhe bill
should pass, the state treasurer would get but
the patry salary which the STATE pays, and the
"bonus" would be cut off.

ON VERGE OF REVOLT
NEwe FROM THE cRIMEAN PEN
INSULA OF AN EXTREMELY
ALARMING NATURE.
WORKMEN BACKING THE AUTlHEERs
GUNS OF BATTLESHIP kNIAZ PO-
TEMkiNE TRAINED ON CITY
OF THEoDosiA.

st. Petersburg, July 7.-Such news
as came from the Black sea and Cau-
casus during the day was extremely
alarming. The whole Crimean penin-
sula is on the verge of revolt and an
archy reigns In the mountains of the
Caucasus from Batoum to Baku. Only
brief details are available on account
of the rigid censorship established by
Admiral Chouknin, commander of the
Black sea feet. Even foreign embas-
sizes having consuls at Theodosia, Cri-
mea, have not received any word. At
Theodosia the workmen are backing
the mutineers, the crews of several
chips in the harbor have joined the
mutineers and the well-to-do class of
the population has fed in panic The
guns of the KniaZ Potemkine are
trained on the city, presumably be-
cause the authorities could not or
would not furnish the Kniaz Potem-
kline with coal, and a bombardment Is
momentarily expected.
Only six hours away on the other
side of the peninsula Admiral Chouk-
nin's feet, which includes six war;
ships, not counting Rear Admiral Kru-
gers squadron, lies at anchor under
the menace of the guns OF the fortress.
Chouknin evidently is afraid to test
the loyalty of his crews by setting
them the task of capturing the mu-
tineers ship.
According to reports current In St.
Petersburg four torpedo boats with
volunteer crews on board have sailed
for Theodosia to sink the kniaz Po-
temkine, but the reports lack confirma-
tion and must be accepted with re-
serve.
Telegrams from the Caucasus.
where a $50 bordering on anarchy
has existed ior a month, say the news
of the inutiny on board the Kniaz Po-
temkine made an electric impression
and was the signal for a general move
ment, with which troops and police
are absolutely powerless to cope Rail-
road traffic in all directions has ceased
and the people are fleeing on horse
back and all kinds of vehicles over the
mountain roads and trains.
Almost CONSERVATION prevails in
official circles here.

GIVEN ENTHUSIASTIC OVATION.
American Biuejackets March Through
Streets of Paris.

Paris, July THE unusual sight of
and marines swinging through the CEN

great interest and brought out an en-
thusiastic ovation from the crowds
along the line of march. The Amer
lean naval contingent, which numbered
800 men with 25 officers. left Cher
bourg In two special trains at a. m.,
arriving at the Invalides railroad sta
tion at 11.40 a. m. A company or
French infantry was drawn up 'front.'
Ing the station to receive the Amer
leans. The latter formed in battalion
and unfurled the American flag and
naval ensign. At the same moment
the French troops came to the salute,
the French standard was dipped, the
French band struck up the Star
Spangled Banner" and the great
crowds which had surged across the
Alexander bridge shouted "Vive les
Americans" "Vive la France the en-
tire multitude uncovering respectfully
while the American anthem was
played Another outburst of enthu-
siasm greeted the "Marseillaise." and
then the French escort took up the
line of march across the Esplanade of
the Invalides to the Avenue Piquet
and thence to the military school. All
along the foute the streets were lined
with dense crowds eager TO see the
Americans. They we're received at
the military school by battalion of
French troops drawn up In the great
court. Again the national anthems
were played and salutes were ex-
changed The Americans were then
taken within the military school,
which will serve as the barracks dur
Ing their stay here.
