BRYAN ON THE "GERRYMANDER."

The hypocrisy of republican attacks upon the alleged gerrymander of leg islative districts by the Guthrie con vention was sharply punctured by William J. Bryan in his Oklahoma City speech. This so-called gerry mander aroused the indignation of Secretary Taft to the point of spon. tsneous combustion. 1t was the ma. ior premise of his contention that the Oklahomans ought to reject state hood at the coming election-and wait until after November of next year be fore adding their votes to the elector. ate of president and vice president.
 Bryan scores strongly on Taft in re minding him that the legislative dis, tricts mapped out by the Guthrie con vention are less unfair to the repub, when the ais reach the FFueTtte river licans than are those of Mir. Taft's own state to the democrats. People vhH live in glass houses are admon. ished by a wise maxim not to throw stones.
 If there is any gerrymander at all in the Oklahoma districts it Is no more unfair to the republicans than . republicans would have made
 .1t2st the democrats had they coa- urled the convention which made the
 -w state constitution. Bryan's re Under that the gerrymander of the convention districts made by the re publicans was more unfair and parti san than the arrangement of districts made by the convention itself ought to be accepted by Oklahoma republi cans as a sufficient answer to all MT Taft's eloquent denunciations
 Since it is surmised that President Roosevelt would like to make the al !cged gerrymander one ground for disappearing the new state constitu ton as unrepublcan in form, MT. Bry an strikes another strong blow for statehood by citing that the legisla tive districts of Connecticut and Rhode Island, which incite no indig nation at all in the secretary of wal are far more unfair to the democrats than are those of Oklahoma to the republicans.
 President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft have, upon this showing. no bet ter reason to insist that Oklahoma be kept out of the union because of inequalities in districting than they have to insist that Connecticut and Rhode Island be turned out of the union. or reconstructed by congress for the same reason.

What Was on the Tablet.

An Ohio author. now in Chicago, re gently had visit from a friend who still lives in the town where the two were boys together. He gives this ae- count of one memory of that call: " "'Nesbit,' said ie, with the pleasant est kmd of a look on his face tYnn re- member that little old house on Main street where you were born? When he said that it brought up a vision of that house as clear as the reality. I saw the queer little windows, the nice, friendly door, the yard, the Iilacs-ev- erything. Yes, Bill I said, with emo- tion. I remember very we'll Well, he said. the folks have gene and put tablet on that old house. At first I couldn't speak.

expected Results.
 Mrs. Baker, well to do lady in one Of the suburbs of a large eastern city, was fortunate in having an excellent servant. Maggie was capable, quick and good natured Most of the lady's friends were less fortunate-in fact few of them were without their distinct trials. At all the fashionable gather ings the conversation turned, like a needle to the pole, straight to the sub iect of servants.
 Mrs. Baker said very little, for she had often noticed that an announce ment of perfect satisfaction in the do- nestle line was frequently followed later on by a second announcement to the effect that the perfect maid had been offered higher wages by Mrs. So- and-so and had gone to get them. Therefore Mrs. Baker followed Br'er Rabbits tactics of "layin' low"
 More than this. she decided to be very diplomatic She would offer Mag gie more wages herself and thus secure her before any one else had a chance She was pleased with her plan.
 Now, Maggie" she said the next morning, you've been very faithful and cheerful during this hot summer and through Dorothy's illness, and like your work so well that I'm going to raise your wages from $5 to sc"
 Maggie thanked her, and Mrs. Baker smiled at the thought of her own as- tuteness
 On Monday morning. q few days lat CT, she had occasion to visit her kitch- en after breakfast. Instead of encoun- teriEg the usual smell of studs and steam, she found Maggie seated at the table
 "W'hy. where's the washing?" she asked. Whats the matter? Are you m?"
 "Oh. no. num-" replied Maggie airily, q aiu't sick. But none of thc girls as gets SC does any washing The six dol lar girls has it done fer 'um, you know"
 Mrs. Baker has not tried any more diplomatic plans.-Youth's Companion.

Yet he struck the victory out of the kings hands and proved that, though the city was, taken, he himself was not only unconquered, but unharmed, for he bore with him those true goods which no one can lay hands upon.

AN ARIZONA
 PROPOSITION.

The approaching meeting of the American Mining congress at Joplin, Missouri is expected to be one of the best sessions ever held by this ex- celIent association. One of the mat ters which will be prominent will no doubt be the urging of the creation of a department of mines by the govern ment, carrying a cabinet position This has long been urged by the mining men of the country and the continued growth of this great indus try. it seems. would warrant this de mand.
 Two years ago when the American Mining congress met at Fl Paso Hon Charles NJ. Shannon of Arizona of fered a resolution asking for amend ments in the federal mining iaws reg ulating the requirements necessary for holding mining claims after they have been located. The resolution offered by Mir. Shannon called for an amendment of the law so that a claim owner in lieu of the annual assess ment work might pay $50 in cash i sgz-S.ssyy yoar II1TIT D9TaDT S0OUTG ISSUP for the claim. The resolution was not adopted by the congress, but it caused a wide discussion of the ques- tion raised and the sentiment of the country, as far as expressed, seemed to strongly favor the Shannon resolu- ton.
 It is well known that the average assessment work done on a mining claim, where the purpose is merely to fulfill the requirements of the law and hold a claim, seldom amounts to any thing so far as real development of the property is concerned. The law ! says so much work must be done, but the claim owner is not restricted as to where or how the work shall be done So long as it is within the limits of his claim This leads the owner to look for the softest spot to do his work. The Shannon proposition did not deprive claim owners from per forming work if he elected to do so, but gave the owners the right to elect for themselves whether they would do $1Oo worth of work or pay a tax of $50 annually as a requisite to hold ing mining claim
 Whether the proposition of Mir. shannon will be again presented to the American Mining congress this year is not known, but there can be no question about it's feasibility and desirability. Such law would bring goodly revenue whereas under the present law the avecs se assessment work performed on claims amounts to absolutely nothing 10 the govern ment or the claim owner

HUM0R OF LONDON CABBlEs.
Some of Their Remarks When the Tip
 Is Not Forthcorninq.

Some of the hanson fraternity of London have no sense of humor. but the majority are decidedly facetious says London Tit-Bits. Here are some examples of witty and sarcastic "cab byisms"
 To appreciate them properly it. must be understood that the fare has offered q single shilling in payment for ride just within the two mile limit.
 Are you quite sure you can spare this:" remarks the cabby with q bump Of humor. Dye think you'll be able to rub along on the other nineteen till next Friday? It's goin' the pace, y'knOw."
 If you'll take my tip, guy'nOr." runs another form of gentle reproach. you'll go and see an oculist You 'ailed this bus by mistake You wants a red or green or yellow bus. Black ain't in your line at all"
 Thank yer, gov'nor," says another cabbY. with apparent emotion; thank yer. kindly. Yer offer is we'll meant. but couldn't go for to do it." Saying which he makes pretepse of handing the shilling back to the astonished fare. But I can't sell him, guv'nor and that's fact. Yer 'andsome hof- fer'd make me rich for life, but tell yer I can't sell i'm"
 One cabby, who was an excellent ac- tor, on receiving his shilling burst into tears and between his loud sobs jerked out: I'm sorry you Force it on me, guv'nor, am really The hincome tax people'll be down on me now"
 An excellent ''cabbyism" was perpe- trated in the suburbs one night. As the fare let himself into the house he was regaled somewhat as follows: "Go in quietly, sir, in case the old wo- man wakes up and ears me drivin' away. She might stop the rest of yer pocket money for this extravagance." :"

 ''Now," she said to the saleswoman, q want you to do me favor"
 Certainly" was the prompt re sponse.
 The customer colored deeply. "l want you to make out the bill partly for gowns for me and partly for baby dresses and a baby's cloak"
 The saleswoman was used to the whims of fashionable women, but this was something she was little slow in comprehending. The customer ex- plained.
 "You see," she said, "my husband is very fond of our baby, and if he sees that the bill Is partly for dresses for her-well. he won't mind so much."- Exchange.

DEVELOPING SONORA

T6e oct'vitv of the Hartman ra., road system in locating of new lines and construction in Sonora, Mexico, is already attracting much attention to that rich country. If MT. Harri- man completes all the lines for which he has secured concessions and caused to be surveyed, the state Of Sonora will have few localities re- maining without rail transportation to stimulate the development of it's splendid resources.
 The editor of the Nogales Oasis has just returned from a trip over the completed lines east of Guaymas and he grows eloquent and earnest in speaking of the future opportunities in Sonora which will be created by completion of the many proposed new lines of railroads. We take the fol- lowing extract from a long article written by MT. Byrd on his retur T from Sonora:
 But it is with the effect of this new era of railway construction in Sonora that this article is to deal, and it's influence in development of the richest and best portion of the state, visited heretofore by the few hardy spirits only who had the dispo- sition to submit to the inconvenience and hardships attendant upon travel in the saddle, or, where possible, by the slow Iocomotion of team and wag- on. including all the rich mineral re- zion of the Sierra Madre for dis tance of 400 miles and more than 100 miles in width, and the wonderfully fertile deltas of the Yaqui, Mayo and Fuerte rivers, with the equally fertile littoraI connecting the three deltas, all three taken together giving the state of Sonora and northern Sinaloa an area greater than that of the delta of the Nile. and fully as capable of supporting as great and redundant a population It requires not the spirit of prophecy, but only the eye of faith, to survey all that great area and depict the future when every acre will be under cultivation, supporting population of many millions. The railway will prove the opening we>ge that will start the development After wards will follow great schemes for canal construction, and land reciama- ton, some of which are inaugurated and in operation already. and in time. by the work of government, these will be supplemented by vast storage rss- ervoirs (for which there are area sites innumerable in precipitous canyons of the lofty Sierra Madres) for con servation and utilization of tho flood waters of the three rivers of suppiy
