~ ROMINENT among the Russian
refugees and revolutionaries in
London, who are ever busy plot
u ting to s dethrone the car and
overturn his government, Is Prince
Vladimir Tchertkov. That a Russian
prince should be found conspiring against
Russian despotism in these days is, in it
self. nothing remarkable There are a lot
of them taking part in that dangerous and
exciting game. Princes are rather COM
mon In Russia, and the title confers no
such exalted distinction as 1t does in other
countries. But that Prince Vladimir
Tchertkov should be actively engaged in
this secret warfare against the car is
both remarkable and tragic, for the car
is his own half brother.
That such Is the relationship between
them is well known in the inner circles OF
Russian revolutionaries though no men
ton of it has ever before found its way
Into print. The prince himself acknowl-
edges the relationship. but 1t does not
diminish one jot his devotion to the cause
which aims at the abolition of czardom
altogether
His mother held high position in the
court of the late Gar Alexander III. His
reputed father was a wealthy land owner
who was at one time connected with the
Russian ministry of the interior. But that
his real father was the czar was one Of
the open secrets Of the Russian court, and
known to every member of the imperial
family. Among his associates now are men
who were deep in the plot which led to
his grandfather's assassination. And he Is
heartily cooperating with them In their
plots to hurl his brother from the throne
by assassination. perhaps, If other meth
DDS fail.

Russian freedom has been planned, and in
many cases partially carried out. in Lon
don. The metropolis of Great Britain is
losing its importance as the center of the
Russian revolution since the bonds Of the
autocracy have been somewhat relaxed in
Russia, but all the records are still kept
in London for safety's sake. and the lead
ing plotters still find 1t healthier place

No doubt American newspaper readers
have often wondered how the Russian
revolutionists managed to possess them
selves Of the arms Of precision which they
have used in all the recent outbreaks. and
how it was that when Finland was ready
to insist on the restoration of her parlia-
ment and other liberties every able
bodied Finn was found to be In possession

CAPTAIN BROWN VISITS MT. AYR.

Captain J. D. Brown, of Leon, was in
Mt. Ayr yesterday. He is a candidate
for State Senator against M. F. Stookey
the present incumbent. Captain j. D.
Brown got the nomination for represen-
tative in Decatur county few years
ince and was defeated by Hon. E. j.
Sankey. The Burlington influences
spent much money and much energy
trying to get the Captain in the legis-
lature but the people of Decatur county
put Sankey in his place. Now Captain
Brown has gotten to be very strong
progressive and will try to displace
Senator SUookey. Stookey is the
represertive of the Burlington Railroad
but Brown is no better. If the people
of Decatur county would have permitted
it he would now be doing as Stookey is
doing. He was prevented by them
from doing that and he is now taking
up the new trail intending to get the
same place. The progressive republi-
clan should compel NJ. z. Bailey or some
other good farmer to go into the
primary against Stookey. Brown is a
very recent convert.-Mt. Ayr Press.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1907-09-26
OKLAHOMA REPLIES TO TAFT.

Oklahoma's answer to Secretary Taft
is what everybody knew it would be.
By a vote that is not yet counted, but
is known to be emphatic, she has eN-
pressed her opinion of people who ask
her to be longer satisfied with imper-
feet government in one part and with
no government in another.
Tuesdays vote in the new state is a
singing rebuke to the Republican bos-
ses in Washington who have kept this
young giant of the Southwest out of
the Union until it exceeds in population
half the States already in. 1t is a
warning to President Roosevelt to
make no captious opposition to the full
participation in the government of
nearly million and half Of picked
American citizens.
If the vote on adoption. of the Okla
homa Constitution had been close the
President and the Republican cam
paign managers might have felt en-
couraged to shut out the seven cleo
toral votes of Oklahoma until after the
Presidential election. The cause of
his party will, indeed, be desperate if,
in the face of Tuesdays verdict, he
ventures to pick flaw in the work of
the Statemakers.
Oklahoma and her sister Territory
have earned the right to the Union. In
all the preliminaries there are only five
Ropresen tives in Congress allotted
to the State of Oklahoma, whereas the
census shows her entitled to seven.
She should have nine electoral votes in
sted of seven.
The sweeping victory won by the
democrats was natural result of re-
publican opposition to statehood. If
the result had been in doubt, Secretary
Taft's advice to Republicans to vote
against the Constitution would have
made it certainly Democratic.
We have yet to learn what conclusion
President Roosevelt will draw from his
studies of the census taken by his order.
The Guthrie convention had not the
guidance Of information and cannot be
held responsible for possible errors
due to the lack of it. The President
will make costly mistake if he does
