THE COMING DEMOCRACY.

President Eliot OF Harvard Is no

reached that sunset OF life which Is
said to give a mystical lore He is
man in his prime. but he has been
doing some prophesying that is at
least encouraging
In a speech delivered recently,
among other things he took occasion
to say:
The great movement of the world
today is toward democracy. The great
keynote of the present century, the
century that we are just entering up
on. will be democratic in all things
One hundred years from now the pop
ulatlon of our country, which is now
for the most part wilderness, VII be

EXECUTION OF SPIES.
The Way the Death Sentence Is Car
ried Out In England.

ried Ont In England.
The ceremony of disposlng Of con
demned spy in the English army al
ways follows a definite precedent. The
unfortunate man is surrounded by
detachment OF infantry, and after he
is provided with pick and shovel he
il marched of to n selected spot and
ordered to dig his own grave. This
DONE the tools are taken from him
and his eyes are bandaged. The at
tending chaplain reads portions select
ed from the burial service, and from
the ranks of the escort twelve men are
selected at random by the officer in
charge. These men, having stacked
their own rides, are led TO where twelve
other rifles are awaiting them, six OF
which are loaded with blank cartridges.
One OF these is handed TO each man. so
that no one knows whether the rife he
holds contains a bullet or not and none
can say for certain that the shot fred
by him killed the prisoner. The firing
party then marches to IN appointed
position. The commands Present"
"Flrew' are given, and almost before
the last word rings out the volley is
fired and the spy falls into the grave
he has dug. Nearly every man is more
or less affected on being selected TO
form one of the firing party, and many
men have been known to faint away on
being singled out, while others are so
overcome MS to be scarcely able to pull

Tulsa Has Every Natural Advantage. Why Not Make it the
Most Attractive and Beautiful City In the New State?

in its action. The streets are not now
and never will be as fine as they might
have been by declaring for wide park
ings in the beginning. People after
all use u narrow part Of the streets,
and the rest grows TO weeds, or be-
comes a burden to taxpayers by hav-
ing to be frequently cleaned.
There are so many things about a
city that interests everyone. ] believe
no official can ever do as much for "A
city as individuals, if they can only
be made to understand their respon-
sibility.
There is hardly a family in the city
which has not in its outlook some OBJ
ject offensive to their highest ideal
some building or view which they
would like to change. All this comes
from our own s%elfishness. We do the
things which We want, and forget our
neighbor. We too often make our
front yards beautiful, and regale the
rubbish and chicken yards of the rear,
which may be the only outlook from
our neighbours dining room. OF the
two, the rear yards should be the fin
est, for do not the children and house
wife have many hours there, and then
our neighbors view.
Then there is the question of parks
and pleasure grounds. Every city of
course should have these, and the
earlier the better; but in the mad
rush for money, the fact that every
human being needs recreation is lost
of. Here again Tulsa has a
of material for a park and
drive unsurpassed. The whole river
front from the bridge to the water
works is a scene of rare beauty. What
trees and vines, what a landscape!
I here are miles along the river which
would be a paradise for an artist or
notanist. Let us preserve the liver
front, and rescue it from the usual
iate, TO be a dumping ground for
garbage or "chutes" for slaughter
l.ouses, thus contamenating the water
which may in time serve us drinking
water for some city below us. | would
impress it upon everyone that Tulsa is
. beautiful city, by every gift Of ma
ture, Shall the people organize to en-
rich it in every way possible, making
it a magnet to draw people of culture
and wealth, or shall we be content if
our individual homes please us?

the stockholders in the local associa-

the team because it was understood
that the McAlester team could not
hold much longer AS the people there
were getting tired of putting up their
cash, and besides, Shawnee from the
experience with that city in the first
series, did not look good.
The Fort Smith business men were
supporting that team, but whether
they would have continued to or not
was a guess.
Taking everything into considera-
ton, it didn't look good to the local
people, so it was decided to disband.
