RUSSIA'S LAST CARD

AS the more or less meager details
of tho great sea fight are received at
tho various news centers, the mag
aitudc of the disaster suffered by
the Russian forces becomes little
less than appalling. The defeat OF
Admiral Rojestvensky was SO sud
den and complete that the death list
of the shattered fleet must have been
very large. Divested of sentimental
embellishments and spectacular ac-
cessories, the event assumes the
gulss of melancholy tragedy. So
swift came the avengers Of the Jap.
anese squadron that the Russian
gunners and seamen had little
chance for life, Gagged as they were
in their sinking steel prisons and
blinded and confused by the chaos
Of horror that eaveloped them.
Two great fleets sailed out to sea
to vindicato the honor Of their rival
menarchs. Among the thousands
Of men upon those monster warrior
vessels there was probably not one
who hsrborcd personal deadly
hatred against his nations enemy.
They were simply tools of diplomatic
chancellories, and tho stake they
played for was the supremacy of ma
,iona! policies. The gamev was played,
lost aad won, aad ths battered hulls
that sank beneath the waves, the
scattered corpscs of tho slain and
the blood and agony of the wounded
survivors attest tho awful cost.
Itis an opinion amounting to
settled conviction in many quarters
that this final scene in the drama
of the deep will end the war. Japan
has won In every important engage
ment of the campaign on land and
sea, and her forces are now season
ed and experienced and her army
and navy are practically intact.
Russian arms have suffered an al
most unparalleled series OF defeats
and from the scattered and demor.

great naval battle is the utter des-
truction of the great Russian fleet.
1t seems that but four small vessels
Of RoJestvensky's vast armament,
escaped to Vladivostek. The
others were either destroyed or
captured. Thousands of the Rus
SLAMS were taken prisoner and thou
sands more were killed and.drowned.
Among the prisoners are the two
Russian admirals.
The Japs captured q number Of
the valuable Russian vessels, of
course in a crippled condition, but
they will soon have thsm fixed up
and In fighting tim, thus making
very valuable additions to their
naval strength. The Japs lost 4
number of their small craft such as
torpedo boats and had few hun
dred men killed and drowned, but,
from the information attainable the
heavy vessels of Togo suffered no
serious injury.
1t seems Togo cams down on the
Russian fleet with such suddenness
and poured In such an ayalanch
of shells that the Russians became
confused and panicy and were an
easy prey for the little Jap torpedo
boats that fitted about like wasps
and shot their torpedes into the
hulls of the great Russian war ves-
almost at will.
Early in ths fight the flag ship of
Rojestvensky was sunk and the
Admiral, badly wounded, with his
staff, was transferred to a torpedo
boat destroyer, but this vessel was
afterwards captured by the Jap
aneSe.

THE PEOPLE WIN

The great fight that has been
waged by the Mayor of Philadelphia
backed up by the people, against cor
porate greed as manifested in the
actions of the Gas Company of tina,
city, has resulted in complete vic
tory for the people and the octopus
has rolled back its Shiny folds and
link into its den. IL seems the Gas
Company had an ordinance prepar
ed granting the gas franchise of the
city for IS years at an exorbltant
rate. The Company had quietly
manipulated city affairs until it con-
trolled the council by more than a
two thirds majority.
The mayor vetoed the ordinance
and it was about TO be passed over
his head when ths people took the
matter up and notified, through big
mass meetings and voluninous petit
tions, their council members that
they would not tolerate any such
proceedings.
The results were, changes in senti-
ment became common and the cor
porasion, seeing it was beaten,
withdrew from the contest.
Somehow there is something In
the air of late that breeds destruct-
ion to trusts and gratis, and the
people are beginning to realize that
thoy have some power and that they
are backed In their fights against
greed and graft by the chief sxecu-
tive Of this country.
The very fact that Roosevelt has
taken such q positive stand against
cooperate greed seems to have in.
spired the people with courage tc
stand up and assert their rights.
We rejoice In the victory of Phil
adslphia's loyal people against tn,
hsJds OF sin, and predict genera
overthrow of these gratis and high
way robberies of the people BY
strong corporations, all over thu
country. Itseems even the Stand
ard OIL Company is going to be re
CURED to be decent.

A GREAT VICTORY
Togo PounCes Down on RojeSt-
vensky and the Great Rus
sian Fleet Is No More

Just as Rojes.vsAsky had begun
to think Togo was afraid to meet
him and that ne would have clear
sailing into Vlsdivostok. Togo
pounced down upon him In the
straight of Corea Saturday evening
The battle was sharp and decisive.
The superiority of japan gunnery
and seaman ship, however, soon
told and Russian wsrships began to
reel aud quiver under the tremend-
ious weight of shot aud she'll that
was hurled against them. First one
and then another of those stately
ships dropped out of sight before
the terrible onslaught OF Togo's
trained men.
The Russians could not stand
the stain and the vessels scattered
In every, direction with the yictsri-
ious Japs In full pursuit. The des-
truction of the Russian feet as a
factor is complete. The scattered
vessels that manage to elude the
pursuing Japs will seek safety in
neutral ports whea they will have to
remain during the war. The Japs
will still be mistress of the seas and
carry men and supplies across to
Manchuria as they choose.
1t Is now time for the proud
Russian to bend the knse and sue
for the best terms Of peace she can
secure from the victor. She has
been whipped, and whipped good
and plenty both land and sea.
The Japs have shown their ability to
muster a larger and better equipped
army in Manchuria than can the
Russians and have twice demoH-
strated their ability to meet them on
the seas and blow their vessels out
OF the water.
II Russia cannot now see that she
is whipped to a stand still, it is
time for the powers to step in and
stop the useless carnage before she
Is bankrupt.
We hope overtures fer peace may
bs started before Oyama moves
again. When he clashes again with
the opposing army, the slaughter
will be fearful. 1t will simply be
seaseless loss of life and should be
avoided.

people and the graves generally

Each year these decorating core
monies grow more pathetic. Each
year adds its list of new graves to
demand the attention of the survi-
vors, and each year sees the ranks
thin and the survivors grow more
weary and care worn. Soon these
great national services will have to
be conducted by the soAs and grand

And though the time will soon come

GOOD PROSPECT

R. c. Rawlings has set some
thing going. During all these dull
months in the oil business Mr..
Rawlings has been constantly busy,
trying to stir something up. For the
past year he has been corresponding
with the Shell Transport and Trad
ing Co. of London, the great Euro
pean competitor of the Standard,
and has at last succeeded in gettiag
one of the representative men OF
that company, Her Jansen of Ber
lin and their American agent, Mr..
c. H. Rule of New York, to visit
the Territory and Kansas field and
go over it carefully.
MIR. Rawlings had ready for them
the samples from the tests he had
made of this oil and proved to them
conclusively that our oil had rel
refining value, contrary to the state
ments of the Standard, aud they
Investigated production and posi-,
bilities for themselves.
The results are likely to be that
this powerful company will become
interested in this field. They have
fought successfully the Standard In
the old world and do not fear to
meet them In this country.
They are already shipping great
deal of oil from the Texas field and
are likely to establish big refneI y
in this country and lay pipe line
to the gulf. The advent of this
company would mean strong com
petition and advancing prices. We
hope to see them in here before the
fall.

NO PARDON

Gov. Hoch has anAeunced that
he will not pardon Willie Sell at
present. He leaves the case open
for future investigation. The more
carefully the Governor investigates
the case in the region where the
crime was committed and studies
the evidence the farther he will be
away from granting the pardon on
the grounds of innocence.
He can find much testimony to
his innocence in Ottawa, Kansas
City, etc. and even in the psniten-
tiary. We are told that Willie him
self is willing to testify to his abso-
lutte purity.
