GILEEY RETURNS HOME
Chickasha Globe TOrtter Return. to
bis Native Heath Looking
Well

A. S. Gilkey was the most dis
tinguished passenger that alighted
from the Frirco passenger train this
morning. Only the fact that he
kept secret the time Of his arrival
kept his friends from meeting him
at the train with the band. He
brought back with him the same
old smile that won't wear off--the
smile that he took away with him
and carried on his journey across
the waters and over Europe, Asia
and Africa. Mr.. Gilkey has been
absent for over four months and
during that time he bumped up
against kings and notables, delved
amid the ruins of Italy. Greece,
Palestine and Egypt, explored art
galleries, and marched as an Ameri.
can citizen through the mazes Of
the great cities of the continent.
He saw lots of things that he has
already told about in his letters tc
the chickasha papers and many
more things some Of which he may
be induced to talk about, even i
he won't write about them.
Mr.. Gilkey is looking fine anC
says he enjoyed his trip to th'
utmost but he is glad to get back
to Chickasha, Oklahoma.

ON PUBLIC QUESTIONS. GIVES OUT
AN INTERVIEW TO ASSOCIATED
PRESS CORRESPONDENT
PRIVATE MOMOpOLIeS SCORED
IntOIerabIe and IndefensibIe' Corpora
tiOns Must be Controlled. 0pin-
ion not Changed

Trondlyem. Norway. June az
William J Bryan has arrived here
TO atten the coronation of King
Haakon and Queen Maude. In re-
ply to question from an Associated
Press representative. Mr. Bryan
taking for his text the statement
that he was being described as
conservative said:
81 am not responsible for the
phrases used in regard to me; but
l am responsible for my position
on public questions. That public
opinion ought to be we'll known.
Take the trust question for in
stance, as it seems uppermost just
now. Ny opinion is that private
monopoly is indefensible and intol-
cradle. That was the democratic
platform in 1900, and the plank
was Incorporated in 1904, and is
the only tenable position.
"The.e is some talk Of oontroll-
ing the trusts. You might as well
talk Of controlling burglary. We
do not say they shall steal only a
little bit but that they shall moi
steal at all. 1t is so of private mon
opolies. 1t is not sufficient to con
troll or regulate them-they mus'
be absolutely and totally destroyed
Corporations should be controlled
but private monopolies must be
exterminated, root and heart. Now
You can call that a radical doctrine
Yet il is more conservative to ap
ply this remedy now than to wait
until predatory wealth has by it:
lawless wealth brought odium OF
Legitimate accumulation.
What used to be called radical
is now called conservative, because
people have beeu investigating
The doctrine has mas not changed
but public sentiment is making
progress"
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan will spenC
the week in Norway and will ther
60 to England. They will sail fol
home late in August.

REPRESENTATIVE OF BITULITHIC
COMPANY MEET WITH CONNER
CIAL CLUB AND CITIZENS
EVERYBODY ANXIOUS 70 ACT
Situations is Seriously Discussed Prom,
inent Citizens Think Script Can
be Sold.

II the people OF chickasha were
not dead in earnest about street
paving, they would grow weary of
treking up to the commercial club
rooms or the council chamber every
few days to talk about it and try
TO devise ways and means Of ac-
oomplishing il. That their euthu-
siasm on the subject has not relax
ed in the least was shown by the
number present and the deep in
terest manifested in the meeting
yesterday aftrnoon, called to hear,
+. P. Halsey and Jas. 7. Ware of
the Kansas Bitulithic Company ex-
plain their process.
Bitulithic paving has been used
but little in this part of the country
but it has long been in use in the
East and is now being laid in a
large number Of cities in the West
and Southwest. AS described by
the gentlemen yesterday, the pro-
cess is something as follows;
A foundation is laid Of broken
stone from two to three inches in
size and after being thoroughly
rolled is covered with heavy coat
ing of bituminous cement. The
character Of the foundation laid de-
pends upon the nature Of the sub
soil. In some cases a hydranliC
concrete foundation is laid.
Upon the foundation is spread
the wearing surface, which is com
pressed to a thickness Of two inches
This is composed Of the hardest
stone Of sizes varying from an incl
to an inch and a half down to the
finest powder, combined with btu
minous cement. Upon this wear
ing surface is spread coat Of
quick drying bituminous cement
to which is added thin layer o.
rot, finely crushed stone, the prve
ment is again rolled and is ready
for use.
Among the advantages claimed
for bitulithic are: it is noiseless, !:
sanitary, easily repaired, IS sufhci-
entity elastic and is not slippery
wet or dry. 1t is said to be ver'
durable and does not disintegrate
1t was awarded thegold medal a
the St.Lious WorldsFair.
After Messers Halsey and War
had explained their proposition
the citizens present took up th'
discussion Of the subject. Th'
Curtis law and the problem Of dis
posing Of scrip issued under it wer'
discussed at length. Mayor Ven
able was Of the opinion that re
plies received from the bond com
panies were conclusive that th'
scrip could not be sold. w. L

INVOLVES RATES ON WATER
ROUTES.

What safe and uniform basis is it
possible that congress can adopt for
ascertaining rates on all interstate
railroads that are just, uniform am
reasonable?
If the cost to the carrier Of the prop
erty and appliances and of the skill
and labor of the persons necessarily
employed in the work of transporta-
ton is to be made the basis o. railro 4
rates, other common carriers on rivers
and highways must be limte1 to lower
rates in their charges, because the c"s
is lower tn them. Congress can new 2r
find the just equation between these
diverse methods of transportation. an
no relative rule can b. ascertaine1 bv
any tribunal that can WORK justlv AMI
enuitably as to all carriers. II can
only be arbitrary, Therefore. an1 must
be unequal and an infliction of inius-
tice upon some carriers and some cor
munities.
These new questions that ara so per-
pick ng to all who must deal with them
arise cut of the fact that the system of
Interstate transportation has already
changed in its leading feature since
tho Constitution was adopted.
Railroads were not known at that
time meme existed and more were con-
templated. Rivers and public high
ways were then the routes of all in
terror commerce, and the comm m car
riers did not own them. They then
belonged to the people, AMI were
equally free to all, as they are now. If
routes of transportation or rates of
transportation were at all concerned
in the delegation of power t. congress
to regulate commerce among states,
it was not railways, il the private
ownership of corporations, that were
to be regulated The common law was
left to regulate all such radical changes
in the routes an | vehicles owned by
common carriers, as it now stands. as
the embodied wisdom and justice OF
many centuries, nd will stand to regu
late all new methods of transportation
on land and water, or through the air.
until the Constitution is changed.
