significant statement made since tn
statehood fight started and one that

were the utterances OF Senator Clapp
of Minnesota, chairman OF the Scuat
committee on Indian affairs. who EN-.
phatically stated that the sentiment
in Indian Territory was largely in ia

tor Clapp said tnat he was in favoc
of giving tha people what they dc-
sired; that n did not believe in die

would follow the wishes of the peo-
pie, regardless of outside pressure
This means that after investigat NJ

FREAK CHARITY.

Mrs. Ellen Knewar of New York,
leaves bequest Of nearly 100000 "a
provide home for stray cats and
dogs
Which has boqucathed the more
wisely?
Which provision will relieve the
most real suffering and hardship?
Which will influence the world the
most toward universal health and
happiness?
They are freal, gifts and these are
freak questions They cannot be seri.
ously answered sympathy will no
doubt be ON the side Of stray dogs and
cats.
To bc sure dogs ana cats don't
have souls. but maybe neither have
tramps. II they have. they
make poor use Of them Souls would
increase their responsibility and di-
minish their excuse.
The dog and cat. however, having no
souls. are required not to know any
better than 10 be s,rays. In the same
degree that tramp has a soul and
knows better, he is less to be sym
pathizcd with than pitied.
The stray dog is capable of mend.
ing his ways. At the slightest en-.
couragement he is ready to cease
wandering and settle down and stay.
He lovingly licks the hand that deigns
to feed or fondlc him and his wag.
ging tail attests the sincerity of his
gratitude. He Is the faithful friend
of all who befriend him. lie gladly
becomes fixture the moment there
Is any affection to afiix himself to- He
tries his best always to be decent
and settled and respected. The dog
does not live that does not yearn to
be n member Of a happy home and
strive TO its best to be worthy of it.
The homeless dog is not necessarily
of low disposition or perverted
character: he is homeless only be.
cause Of the low disposition of men.
The dog looks up to man as god;
and this would be a far better world
all round If man worshipped and serv-
ed his God with half the faith and de-
votion with which the dog worships
and serves man.
II Is all just the reverse with the
human tramp. Duty and responsibility
are not in his vocabulary. He Is as
ignorant of gratitude as he is con
temptuous of conventional obliga-
tions. He regards the "hand-out" as
his due in the world and is ready to
hate and harm the hand tina Is eX.

lists as a parasite and outcast not be-
cause he must. bue because he wants

more comfortably in his chosen place.

misguided philanthropists dream
There are vices in the world thai
ought to be starved and kicked out of

II It too bad that these two good
old women had not heard that there
are such tnings as poor tenement ba-
bies and worn.out sick mothers to
whom a little of the money being
freal,ishly lavished on dogs and cats

Hearst was elected mayor of New

office Where Tammany controll ,d
the election boards and Mcclellan
comes ont of It with a spindling little
plurality of few hundred or al most
few thousand votes, the real result
Is not in doubt Hearst was elected.
He will, If seated, give New York Il
more conservative administration
than expected. for there is nothing
like responsibility to cool a radical
down But whatever his administra-
tion brings forth. New York has de-
served II, and what ever the result It
cannot be more dcmoralizing, moro
harmful to political ideas or probably
more injurious to property than Tam
many's rule Of theft and debauchery
and synicism. The alliance between
Tammany and the swindlng high
ilnanciers, is union of the heretofore
"respectable' and the vulgar thieves
of their mutual profit. Nothing can
come from Hearst that is more de-
spicable than what New York Is &c
