THE cow
BOY STATE

The Droyers Telegram Of Kansas
City says: G. b. Reaves Of Winner,
Cowboy lard, who is citizen Of the
Cherokee nation brought in yesterday
four car loads Of cattle. He heard Of
the decision Of $4,000 voters TO nick
name the new state the Cowboy state.
He admires the Daily Drovers Tele-
gram for this enterprise and thinks it
the greatest PAPER the farmer can get.
~ had Thought all along said Mr.
Reaves when talking about the new
name for the stat, that CRATER would
be the best, as considerable grating
has been carried on there during the
past few years III the opening up Of
the country But when itcomes right
down to sober thinking the Cowboy
state is the best name. That is
name that will 60 outand be appreci-
ated, not only at the present time,
but in years to come. The Cowboy
state is bound to be a good one, and
when we get things to working we will
show some Of our neighboring states
how to do things. Mr.. Reaves has
been resident Of the Cherokee ma
tion for IS years.

The POLLSRAN CAR MUTIN
A Woman Shoves Mo-
terman From Car

Chicago, July 81 Passengers on a
southbound Halstead street car we're
panic stricken yesterday when wo-
man pushed the motorman from the
front platform and ram at high speed
for nearly a mile. No stops we're
made for passengers and the car col
lided with coal wagons and other
vehicles along the line. Several
women in the car thinking an insane
person was at lever became hysterical
and had to be held by male passen-
gers to prevent them from leaping to
the street.
The woman who caused the excite
ment was Mrs. S. II. Chidester Of
Evergreen Park, near Chicago. She
wanted to catch a train at railway
station and for that reason took pos
session of the car. Tile conductor,
assisted by several passengers, over
powered her after she had run car
six blocks and took her to police sta
tion. She convinced the police she
was not insane and was released.

Weapons Of Straw.

The federal grand jury at Chicago
has returned indictments against the
Standar4 Oil company for rebating
under the Elkins law Similar indict-
ments have been returned by an east
ern grand jury and it is said Others
will follow.
There is no reason to suspect, how
ever. that the Standard Oil magnates
are losing any sleep on account of the
governments sO-called crusade The
Elkins law isn't of the terrifying
kind Its object is to make dis
tinctiOn between the unlawful acts of
the corporation when thus managed.
TO the end that if there must be court
proceedings of some kind, the corpora
ton can be proceeded against without
duly disturbing the law-breaking
managers.
The Standard Oil company pays
dividends apprOXimating $4,000. 900 Il
year. large proportion of which CON
sists of rebates wrung from the rail
roads. The oil trust can well afford to
pay a few thousand dollars in fines
and continue its lawless practices.
John ID. Rockefeller will still have
enough TO keep the wolf from the door
and the administration will reap a
whole lot of political credit for doing
something which is about as potent in
the way Of regulating the trusts as
tickling an unruly elephant with a
feather buster in order to subdue his
spirit.
We are having an example of this
kind of strenuous trust-busting' in

As To Joe Cannon.

The Washington Post declares that
there is no objection to Joe Cannon
that is likely to prove fatal They
charge him with having become a
dude to such an extent that he wears
''galluses" and a belt. The Post says:
All recognize that hideOus obsta-
Gle has arisen in the path. but few
know how TO grapple with it. In the
first place. everybody admits that
something is wrong if Uncle Joe
wears both galluses and a belt. But
what is II? Shall he discard the gal
luses and tighten the belt. or shall he
throw away the belt and rely on the
sorely tried sky-blue braces? Herein
lies the malice of the plot; for Uncle
Joe's" adheTents are rapidly dividing
into two camps. and intestine strife is
imminent The trouble threatens to
spread TO other states-a rumble al
ready comes from New England. where
the Providence Journal declares that
galluses alone suggest a stage of
undress." and justifies the suspicion
that unless Uncle Joe" discards them
it will bolt his nomination for the
presidency.
The Springfield Register believes
Uncle Joe will continue to wear gal
luses and belt. for he wants TO be well
braced for defeat, and anyway both of
them may be very necessary other

OF the etiology of suffering we know
