The Musicale.

The Alice Carey Concert Company appeared at the Opera house Tuesday night before small audience.
 The programme was one composed almost entirely of music, the exception being the delightful readings of Miss O'Day, which were above criticism, and each number won her an encore.
 The musical selections were classical, and delightfully."- rendered. Miss Caley, IS perfect mistress of her violin, and Miss Birdsall, is most pleasing artist with her cello Each received several encores and rendered familiar airs such as The Last Rose of Summer," and Home Sweet Home" in very master full manner
 Mir. Frank c Pettus deserves much credit and better patronage for these splendid attractions.
 The next of his entertainments will be on the night of March l7th. when Ex-Gov. Bob Taylor, the famous and celebrated orator will deliver his lat est and best Lecture entitled Castles in the Air"
 We consider Bob Taylor's Paradise of Fools" the finest lecture we have ever listened to. He has a powerful influence on the feelings. Don't fail 10 hear him.

WHAT CAUSED THE RUsso-JAPANEsE WAR ?

Now that the end of the Russo-Japanese War
is in sight, we wonder how many readers have
definite idea as to how the trouble began. We
remember that in the Boer War the struggle
so long drawn out and report of engagement fol-
lowed report of engagement until the casus belli
was almost forgotten by most of us. 1t may be
we'll therefore to review briefly that contention
between Japan and it's antagonist which brought
on the present conflict
The quarrel, in fact, is quite old one, for
Japan has hated Russia with a bitter and i'll
suppressed hatred since the end of the Chino
Japanese War in 1894. The result of that war
was a magnificent victory for the little island
kingdom humiliating defeat for the ponderous
but inefficient celestial Empire" China re-
nounced her claim to suzerainty over Corea, and
to Jaran she ceded Port Arthur, Talienwhan, the
adjacent islands, and a considerable strip of ter
ritory running into Manchuria. Great was the
exultation of the Japanese. But it did not last
Russia looked on the spoils of war with greedy
eyes For more than generation the Cossack
had been laying his plans for the absorption OF
China, and he resolved that the Jap should not

keep this foothold in the Flowery Kingdom The
Triple Alliance-Russia, Germany and France
presented formal note to the japanese Emperor
declaring that Japanese occupation of the ceded
territory would be to the peace of the
nations and could not be allowed. While the note
polite in tone, the Mikado realized that to
disobey meant war; and war with the Triple Al
lance meant defeat He ceded back to China
the we-earned fruits of victory, while his people
ragged in bitter resentment against the decree of
Russia and its allies. But for this, says Senator
Beveridge, "Japan would Immediately have be-
come frst-class power. But more important
than this. her sovereignty would have extend
ed ultimately all Manchuria, and the sparsely
settled portions of this immense dominion would
have given the Mkado's Empire territory where
her surplus population could have planted new
Japan on the Asiastic mainland And when it is
remembered that Japan's is limited and
her population is increasing rapidly that it has
become physical necessity to find room for it,
the far-reaching Importance of this consideration
becomes apparent.
But this is not ALL To make the situation
more CALLING to the japanese, Russia leased from
China the very ports-Talienwhan and Port Ar
thur-which she had forced Japan to give up.
She obtained permission to construct the Siberian

by military guards. The right "to employ mill
tary guards, she construed to mean the right to
establish forts. Instead of mere railway guards
she sent army of occupation. Every strategic
point was strongly fortified But the, crisis did
not come till the day in last October which
Russia had solemnly agreed to evacuate Man
churia. Russia did not evacuate. Of course, there
were excuses, but the world did not regard them
as legitimate. Instead of abandoning the mill
tary occupation of Manchuria, it developed that
the Cossack had been strengthening his forces at
all important points, both ON land and Time
after time Japan demanded that Russia fulfill
the solemn promise to evacuate; each time Russia
responded with a demand for extension of time;
with each extension of time Russia AIDED new
strength to the forces it had promised to with
draw Thus negotiations went until Japan
declared that the time for parleying had PASSED
and began the war with the famous attack
on the Russian fleet in Port Arthur.

they must be admitted into the Union at the same
tlme-although they give no such promise of be-
coming credltable Commonwealths as does Okla
homa. Then too. our experience with Nevada has
made our Congressman very careful. Admitted
In the days of the mining booms, Nevada now has
smaller population than Wake County; but the
Statehood blunder is irreparable and the handful
of people in Nevada will forever have the same
voice in the upper house of Congress as the eight
millions in New York or the seven millions in
Pennsylvania.
Oklahoma s Future.
But with Oklahoma there can be no repetition
of our Nevada experience. Its people not ad-
venturers wage-earners; they are home-build-
ers energetic, publicspirited citizens It's soil is
not barren but fertile, and no where else perhaps
are all the three great staples cotton, corn and
wheat-grown with such success on the same land.
L saw 10000 people from this section at the 101
Ranch entertainment, and there was no more dis
order rowdyism than at of our ordinary
State Fairs. Automobiles are in evidence
than blanket Indians; the library in Guthrie con-
tains as well selected lot of books as you would
find in New England bathroom at Cleveland
is doing better business than it would do in many
Eastern homes; and the Guthrie girl whom I
found preparing to go to Vassar was only nat
ural product of the Territory's splendid common
and high school system.
There are "boom towns" here towns that have
sprung up almost in night; but this is by rea-
son of no carefully manipulated scheme of East
promoters but because of newly discovered
mineral deposits the opening up of public
lands for settlement. These new towns, too, lack
the reckless daredevilism of Bret Harte or the
dime novel. The people, as have just said, are
not adventurers, but citizens, and they preserve
order, while the ever-expanding railroad systems
carry the conveniences of modern civilization to
every corner of the West of to-day
1t is harvest time here now and the great reap
ers at work in many of the fields. In others
serried stocks of grain stand in farreachng lines
like some vast army, while many of the vacant
fields stretching away without tree house
to change the scene, just rolling enough to re-
semble the bilows of the and in the twilight
one could almost imagine himself on the ocean.

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.

There is always reason, in the man, for his
good or bad fortune and so, in making money.
Men talk as if there some magic about this,
and believe in magic in all parts of life. He
knows that all goes the old road, pound for
pound, cent for cent-for every effect perfect
cause-and that good luck is another name for
tenacity of purpose.-From Emerson's Essay on

A Congressman's Shoes.

An apt illustration of distinction without diff
ference occurred recently in Washington shoe
shop, according to the story Congressman Sulzer
tells on one of his colleagues.
Mr.. Suffers friend, it seems, has been great
sufferer from rheumatism so that one foot has
been affected by it and has become a trife small
er than the other. He ordered his shoes made
accordingly. His directions we're obeyed, but
when he visited the shop to try them on he picked
up the small shoe first and attempted to get on
the larger foot.
'Look here" he exclaimed, in burst of Petul-
ance. "I told you to make one shoe larger than
the other. Instead of that you have made one
smaller than the other"

Oklahoma and the People.
Oklahoma is pretty country and most of the
lands are fertile. The climate is also very good,
though probably not so good as that of North Car
oIina The winds with the dust they raise, are
troublesome. and about the principal houses here
one finds holes to which the people retire in
case of a cyclone. No such calamity has yet be-
fallen Guthrie. but the town of Snyder, not very
far away. was practically wiped out few weeks
ago. as the reader will probably remember read
ing in the newspapers
Education is held in no light esteem by the
people here, and each county has splendid high
school calculated to make the fastener feel
bit ashamed of himself. The county high school
in Guthrie is magnificent building-so fine that
7 thought at first it must be the territorial cap
itol
From a religious point of view, however, the
situation cannot be said to be encouraging. In
regard to Sabbath observance, there is especial
laxity, and Sunday theatres and Sunday selling
are allowed. For general railway excursions
Sunday seems to be the most popular day. The
church structures are not so costly as the schools
and secret society buildings. But I have seen
nothing to Justify me for moment in calling the
town wild and wicked, and at night there little
knots of thoughtful as we'll as curious spectators
about the Salvation Army speakers and singers.
One of these scenes fingers in my memory. A
pretty girl of seventeen, sober garb and Quaker
bonnet, the flush of health on her cheeks bright,
intelligent face with large serious eyes; her sis
ter year two older; her father, white-headed,
touched by age; and two or three others. 1t is
street corner in the heart of the city, and the
noise of passing vehicles makes hearing difficult.
But here under the early evening stars the girls
with the violin and banjo sing some of the old
hymns all heard in the days of youthful lnno-
cence Then with barred head the old man kneels
on the cobblestones and offers up a fervent,
earnest PRAYER for the city and for the individ-
uals who look on his little band. And next the
girl herself without cant or affectaton, speaks of
the higher and fuller life, and kneeis again in
prayer to thank God for the opportunity of ser
vice.
