Oklahoma Wants n Nickname.

In a sense Oklahoma and Indian Territory can be likened to a couple engaged to be married, with the we'd ding dates set for July q, lse7, for then, and not until then, win they be- come one State, the forty sixth of the Union. Meanwhile the people collee- lively are thinking up suggestions as to d fitting nickname for the new State. Although numeFous catchy names have been mentioned, yet the prevailing opinion seems to be that it should in some manner refer to the Indian, as this will be the last state carved out of the old Indian Territory.
 According to Green Mccurtain, the Indian governor of the Choetaw h. dian nation, oklahoma is Choetaw word meaning red people; okla for people, and homma for red It was blood Choctaw Indian. one of the States in 1866. The proper pronuncia- ton of oklahoma Is Owe klah- homa ' to the pronuhciation of the word, but as 1t Is an Indian word, the people Of Oklahoma prefer the Indian pronuncta- tion which is above given.

STILL ANOTHER COAT.

1T is quite plain that not all Republi- cans are "dee-llghted" over the latest vindication of Secretary Paul Morton. The Indianapolis Star. for example. is about as loyal to it's party ana it's Pres ident as amy Republican newspaper can be, yet 1t thus speaks of the latest white washing episode. headings its editorial Paul Morton vfndicated Again"
 MT. Paul Morton. able and aceom- plished gentleman that he is, seems to require great deal of vindicaxton Hardly has one enthusiastic eneomium been passed upon his self-eonfessed some new authority arises to deposit further laurels on his already over burdened brow. It is evident that Mi. Morton's conduct as traffic dictator of the Santa Fe has impressed his nu- neFous and enthusiastic friends with the necessity of its accumulative coal-
 Another disconcerting elemont Tn these panegyrics is the offensl se tone of laudation they hear, which is car. Tlea to a point lnconsistent vita deco fous restraint and denotes the -enper cf the partisan advocate rather thah tEat of the just judge. It is m very bad taste for the Interstate Commerce Commission to make a formal report of investigation into the SaaNa Fe rebates which is loaded down wfsh gra- fuitous and excessive tributes to the exalted qualities of Roosevelt, Moody end Morton.
 There is not shadow of doubt that Morton violated the Shern,n law when ae was virtually the dictaso- of rates on the sante Fe Railroad. In fact, he confessed to the violation. but he was an especial friend of the President and that accommodating official not only came to his rescue by pen and word of mouth but took him into his Cab inet as his Secretary of the Navy, as who should say: Now criticise him if you dareF' Yet even that could not silence the critics who knew of Nor tons guilt and were not afraid to say 60. despite the bosom-hugging attitude of Roosevelt. And so it came about that he has again been 'vindieated" and his garments made white as snow. Just how long 1t will be before he will need another coat of whitewasl we cannot say. but If 1t keeps on the brush will be worn out after a time.

ReferrinE to The Advertisers ex- pression Of hope that cure for cam cer has been found, The Baldwin Stan dard says:
 The Standard believes that The Ad- yeFtiser will agree with it that the discovery of the cause of cancer would be a greater blessing than to know how to cure the disease. since to know the cause would enable the world to cause. In view of this, it is impor- tant to notice that certain medical au- thorities declare that cancer was prac- ftcaily unknown previous to the Tr e Production of inocuIaion and vaccina- ion. and that the increase in the nuHi- Der of cancerous cases is in direct ra- tio to the number of vaccinated per sons. It Is therefore a logical conclu- sion ito assume that there may be some connection between the two. One thing Is certain, and that is that so long as there is this possibility, vac cination should never made compulso-
 The Advertiser certainly cannot agree to that first proposition. The discovery of the cause of a disease is of little benefit unless there is also a cure for 1t. Many of the diseases to which the human family is sub- Ject are no' longer mysteries, so far as their origin and cause are con- cernea. but that knowledge has not put an end to their existence. To know the cause of cancer and be ig- norant of any cure for 1t would be of little good to humanity. As to inocu- lation and vaccination being the cause of this dread disease we have no opinion to express

Another proof of the intimate re- lationship betwen man and the mon- key family has just been given in Tn- dianapolis where the surgeons per- formed a successful operation on a chimpanzee by removing his appendix. Thus we are again reminded that the world do move, and the doctors move ing on the man and monkey problem we find the statement that Philadei- phia dog has undergone successful operation of the same kind. Does that mean that the dogs are also blood rel- atives? It need not surprise us if some doctor finds an appendix in donkey. and that will be about the limit.

MrsPnrneII,s Lack of Humor.

Westminster Gazette.
 Mr T. M. Kettle, who was yesterday returned for East Tyrone by a mieros- eopical majority, bears name with which story is connscted-a story Illustrative of Mir. Parnells lack of the sense of humor. MT. Kettles father Is a venerable Nationalist. who has been associated with the popular side of Irish politics for some forty years. Alluding to this in the course of a speech, Mf Parnelf remarked that the name of Kettle was a household word all over Ireland" He did not betray the faintest recognition of his own joke, but the audience saw it and Mir.

 The Birmingham News prepares the way for the defeat Of Its candidate In Jefferson thus:
 ''Vilihcation and bribery will prob ably run riot in Jefferson county from now on to the close/of the campaign on August 27th."

BRAyTNG FATE.

We move that The Charlotte Obser- yer be awarded the bravery medal if there is spare one. Not content with saying just what it pleases about politics and other ordinary human af- fairs it braves fate and indulges in criticisms on American women. Re ferrinR 10 what Is alleged to have been said by MT" Gaekwar about our women folk 1t comments thus:
 the South Sea Island ladies look like nor to what standard of beauty the Gaekwar of Baroda holds; but in spite of the utterances of campaign declarations of sometimes too exu- berant press. all Of the women In the United States are not so all-hred ruh about as Ss sasShsss Sn P shst and so many others just barely. passa- ble. that, while some fey of them them beauty than the country has In stock to bring up the average. This Is straight, andf those who profess to be- Iieve otherwise are mostly amiable with the women folks. If our women, take them in bulk, so to speak. are not more beautiful than can say" there is no sense in abusing the GaekwaF of Baroda about it. There is this qualification, however. thai wants to be made. that alL the women folks of The Observers acquaintance are beautiful and accomplished.
 Now. if that isn't tempting fate we don't know what the expression means: besides, 1t Is distinctly unpa- trtetfc. for it is really taking sides with 2 foreign halfcaste against Amer. iean womanhood.

If he had the contract for doing the entire Work, and were employing and paying the expenses he would possibly have the right to fix the hours of labor and the class of labor. but the government of the United States is at least supposed 10 boss the job and if it Is weak enough to submit to Gompers 1t will be shameful act. to say the least of 1t.
