ROOSEVELT is a great trust
buster, but his busting is void of
good results. The trusts, after be-
ing busted, go on in the same old
way, except hat they turn the
screws still tighter upon the con-
sumers of their products.

THE st. Louis county court will
not allow any coroner's fees for
setting on dead body that came
to its death by accident. It must
be shown that death was brought
about by foul play before any fees
are allowed. That is one county
court that looks after the interest
Of the taxpayers. Hundreds and
perhaps thousands Of dollars have
been paid out in Phelps county for
coroner fees, where there was no
need Of an inquest whatever.-RoIld

There is need Of an inquest
whenever death results from UNI
natural causes. The fact as to
whether such death Is accidental

The island of Leyte-part of our
$40, 600, 900 purchase from Spain
is "paci6ed," and the correspond
ents cheerfully inform us that
"Pulajanism has been ~eradicated"
there. Now, Pulajanism may be
a gag to the average gullet, but to
us who sit high up at the table it is
but an ordinary mouthful, and we
have not only safely swallowed
but sweetly assimilated it. The
platter is cleared; the recalcitrants
who did furnish forth this part OF
the Oriental feast are "quiet," and
for all time. The island is mighty
quiet, too, saw for the songs OF
the frogs and screams of the sea-
gulls. This is a great, a civilizing,
a Christian country.

I BELIEVE it was S250,000 that
Hartman raised and contributed
to carry New York for the stren-

beneficiary of his purse and sub

THE evidences of gold deprecia-
ton are so abundant that the fact
can no longer be concealed. This
metal is now as ''unsound" as
silver. Economies in producing
and refining gold have greatly in
creased the supply; and, strictly
in accordance with the theory that
values are determined by cost OF
production, it's purchasing power
has enormously fallen. For this
reason commercial interest is ris-
ing. The facts about the altera-
ton in gold values seem passing
strange when compared with the
"gold bug" species of the Bryan
campaign.

A LITTLE FELLOW.

Once a little fellow fell
Deep in love with the great blue
sky;
Asked us always II We could tell
why they had built 1t up so high;
Begged us always to lift him well
Up over our heads and toward his
sky.
once this little fellow went
Up to the sky that had called to
him:
For he wanted to ask what IT meant
by holding It's secret back from
him
When he loved 1t SOL But the blue
sky bent
Only the closer to fold him in!
A little fellow forgot the way
Back from his sky to us once
more;
For he loved II so that he learned to
stay
There with 1t. though our hearts
were sore;
And we only can ask the sky alway.
Why when II took him, It shut
the door!

The democrats here are enthu-

Never In Its history will Oklahoma
more need a capable and safe stat
esman and patriot, devoid of dema-
gogy. in the gubernatorial chair than
the first tenure in that office We
must begin from bedrock the build
ing up Of sound state policies.
Hon. Lee Crucc is the best mater
lal to make governor that the peo-
pie will have an opportunity to Sc
lcct from. Not only Is this so. but
it Is safe to say that there exists no
bcttcr in the state.
As governor of Oklahoma he
would supply an administration
that would compare favorably
with that any other state has
over had. 1t would be bold. yet eau.
tious; conservative, yet progressive;
every interest that makes for the
advancement Of the state would be
promoted, without any being depres.
sed, and state policies would be de
developed as rapidly as might be on
lines tested and approved by exper
fence.
The present is not time for wild
cat craftsmanship, and application of
POLITICAL theories that, more ihan
likely are as incorrect as the me-
chanical notion attributed to a vision
airy. that he could raise himself by
his boot-straps.
II is doubtful II there ever is to
come time when Oklahoma can
afford to indulge. so far as law
making and public administration are
concerned. in what the Sambos of
ante bellum days denominated pro
lecking"
The present certainly is not time
OF the kind.
False craftsmanship on the be
ginning would give new and fatal
point to the saying; Folly can undo
in moment that which II takes Wis
dom years to accomplish.
Hon. Lee Crucc is most admirably
equipped for the position. lie pos.
sosscs honesty. brain and patriotism
Ito a superb degree.
The Ardmorelte trusts that the peo
pie will select the best man for the
Igovcrnorship. and Is confident that,
II they devote due consideration IL
the comparative merits of the candi
dates and keep In view solely their
own interests. they will make Lee
Crucc the first governor OF Okla

DIR. 7. A. M'CURDY
SAYS FAREWELL

The Rev. DR.. Thomas A. McCurdy
preached his last sermon as pastor Of
Central Presbyterian Church yesterday.
He had been pastor of tho church for
eleven years. Tho services were large
~ attended. Or. McCurdy made no re-
ference yesterday TO his plans for the
future.
The Law OF Life From Death" was
the subject Of Or. McCurdy's sermon
In the morning. His text was from
John 12; "a, Verify verify, j say unto
YOU, except a corn OF wheat fall into
the ground and die IL abideth alone:
but if it die, It bringeth forth much
fruit"
lie compared the burying and the
harvesting of the corn of wheat to the
universal law enunciated by Christ
the law of Life from Death; higher
from lower conditions, great achieve
ments from small beginnings and made
prophetic Of His own life in men and
and In the world after His resurrec-
ton Like the corn OF wheat by "a
self-sacrihce which seemed to destrog
Him, he became enlarged In His power
and universal In His dominion. En-
larged life, Or McCurdy said. by means
of death crowns all the works of Cod
'"rhe Illustrations of this law" he
said, "are as extensive as creation. We
have in nature what is called the per-
sistence or conservation of energy. II
u.s. modern scientific name for an
old and familiar fact. Creation began
and ended long years ago. Since then
not anything has been added to the
sum total of things, and not anything
has been destroyed. Whatever we see.
whether we call IL substance or essence,
seems TO be permanent"
In dostructbility, the Doctor said.
was a property of matter; hence only
the forms of things change and the
change OF forms is by destroying the
dying processes. Flowers die 20 their
roots; but instead of retiring into their
graves, they but seek the hiding places
of their power, from which they shall
start into greater beauty and luxuri-
ance. Or. McCurdy applied the illus
tration to man. His life. he said, was
a perpetual whirlpool from start to
finish. Every new birth is a death
every grave Is a cradle. Human life
is like EzelSiars wheel In the vision.
It's aspects and relations. external and
iuternai are changing constantly; one
spoke of the wheel is always ascend
ing while the other Is descending.
