WHY The NEW STATE OF OKLA
HOMA ISEDEMOCRATIC.

In recent years sort of feeling has
spread abroad that Republicanism
stands for progressivness, energy, push,
activity, in short all those Qualities
necessary to success along all lines.
On the other hand the prevalence of
Democracy in tool great quantities is
considered sort of blight on the pros
poets OF any community. The progress
Of the North and the lack of progress
lveness in some parts Of the Democracy
ridden South have served as illustra-
tons along this line. With these men
tai pictures fairly well QUILTED on the
average brain it was hard to conceive
how q new. Estate with every reason to
want nothing but the best things should
place.itself in the hands Of Democrats
and allow thesmembers of a discredited
party to write Its constitution and pre-
side over its Idestinies. A great MANY
people have wondered how such a thing
can be accounted for, it is quite easy if
looked.at in the true light. 1t is well
recognized fact that in the main people
follow the parallels of latitude when
seeking new homes in the West. This
has been pointed out by eminent author
tiles and cannot be disputed. Thus
New England people settled the States
of the Northwest, the people Of Middle
States, the territory of the middle
West, and so on. With this idea in
mind look att map will show that
Oklahoma is. directly west of Arkansas.
catches large. part of Mississippi,
Alabama and Georgia, and all of Ten
nessee, North and South Carolina. 1t
also lies directly wesS Of Southern Mis-
souri,, to say nothing of the fact that it
sits in the lap ofsTexas. In short it is
southern territory and,was largely peo-
pied from rock-ribbed southern States.
In view Of these conditions it doesn't
seem much wonder that Oklahoma is
Democratic, although the majority is
not very large and the Republicans of
the State are very hopeful that before
many years the State will enter the
Republican.fold along with the progress
sive States Of the North and West.

Youshioskeny Light and Power Co.

The directors of the above named
company meet in their Office, in Oak
land, Md, on the 18th inst, and voted
to increase its capital stock to 5000, 900.
Ever since this company was organized
we have been constantly receiving in
quiries from prospective subscribers to
its capital stock, asking for further
facts, figures and details, to enable
them to make their own calculations be-
fore investing their money in this enter
prise. In reply to these inquiries and for
the information Of the public generally,
we now frankly disclose all the facts
and an approximate estimate of the
total cost and annual income of this
rherominal enterprise, which is based
upon the calculation and opinions Of
numerous experts in all sections Of the
country.
Estimate cost of plant and equipment
complete 100000. Proposed plan to
secure the necessary funds, viz. Sale
of LOCO First Mortgage bonds, 500
each, 500, 600; 10000 shares of Capital
stock, $40 each, 500, 900; less 5 per cent
reserved to years interest en- bonds,
S., 600; net capital, $685. COO
Estimate annual income: Rental Of
10000 horse power at $50 per horse,
$500, 900; less contingent expenses of
running plant first year, l0,000 bal
ance, 100000; refunding the First
Mortgage bonds, in full, 500, goo; bal
ance to be distributed among share
holders, first year, 100000
After the first year the entire net
receipt of $4,000 annually to be dis
tributed among the holders of the
shares Of capital stock.
The rental Of power, in various sec
tons of the country, range from 500 mp
to $40 annually for each horse power.
In order to be conservative we use the
lowest rate in the above calculations.
According to the above statement each
horse power will cost less than 81 per
year, and if rented at the lowest rate,
$50 per year, the share holders will,
after the first year realize the marvel
Gus profit of one thousand per cent.
This is no wild cat scheme, or oil well
venture, the water power is plan to be
seen by everybody, and surpasses any
thing in the kind in the State if not in
the United States. The plant will be
located in the heart of an immense IN
developed coal region extending to
Kingwood, Fairmont. Morgantown, etc.
in West Virginia; Pittsburg, Connells-
vile, Uniontown, etc, in Pennsylvania;

tration, by insisting on the enlargement
of the national forest reserve, their
cultivation according to enlightened
modern methods, the preservation Of
the coal and mineral bearing portions of
the public domain and the non-aienation
to private exploiters of the natural re
sources still left to thenation, has set
on foot reform of far reaching i'm
portance. No task is more deserving
or has in it more promise for the good
of future generations than this one of
assuring them against the depletion of
the stock of resources on which they
must depend so largely for comfort and
progress"
The convention next May can do
great work in Strengthening and en-
larging President Roosevelt's patriotic
and enlightened program and it is be-
lieved will do much toward preventing
the threatened famine of our forests.

FOREST FAMINE.

I'm twenty years, says the Depart
yment of Agriculture, 1.-THE timber sup
ply in thenUnited States, on. govern
ment reserves land private holdings, at
the presentirate of cutting will be ex-
hausted, salthough lit is possible that
the growth sof that period might defer
the arrival of the famine another five
years. p" With a view of providing
against such a contingency, President
Roosevelt has issued call for con-
ference Of the governors Of the states
and territories andJof the Emembers of
both houses of Congress to consider the
problem of conserving our natural re-
sources. This is wise thought. The
pioneers of our country felled the for
ests to convert them into farms and
rightly felt that in clearing the waste
places they were doing the work Of
civilization. They took what lay at
hand and used it without a thought of
economy, for whole virgin continent
spread before them. The uppermost
thought of. many generations Of Ameri-
cans was to subdue the soil, and IN sub
DUNG 1t they committed ravages, the
affect Of which on the future of the
continent anG the nation they never
measured. In addition to these CON-
ments the New York Tribune says:
Americans have shown great waste in
the using of coal and are using ores, if
not with improvidence, at least with a
lavishness never before dreamed of.
Coal and ore we cannot replace, and
when they are exhausted science will
have to look about for convenient sub
stitutes. But the grossest abuse of
trust has occurred in the squandering of
timber resources, for trees can be
grown to replace those cut and used,
but instead Of employing forethought
and scientific care to replenish our
forests we have allowed them to be
devastated by the timber hunter, in
tent only on quick profits through
wholesale denudation. AS a tributary
evil the sources of.our water supply
have been dried up, spring floods have
become chronic and the possibility OF
converting vast areas Of arid lands into
fertile acres by means of irrigation has
been greatly retarded. 1t is time tc

He has been frequently mentioned for

berland, etc. IN Maryland, to any and all
of which towns the surplus light and
power, that is not leased by local trolley
railroads, manufacturing plants. etc,
can be transmitted by wires.
In California both light and power
are now being successfully transmitted
290 miles from the plant, and none of
the above named cities and towns are
half that far from this plant.
There viii be no limit to the local de-
mand for power to run trains on trolley
roads in all directions to the numerous
undeveloped mines nearby. One of the
most important shortlines will be seven
miles from Oakland to Swallow Falls
where it will connect with the Kendall

full freaks of nature east Of the Rocky
Mountains. During past ages the river
has cut a gorge over 800 feet deep be-
tween the mouths of Deep Greek and
Muddy Greek, giving both of those
streams fall of about 300 perpendicu-
lar feet and the river itself fall of
about 200 feet to the plant, which will
be located about half mile below Deep
Creek Falls. A peculiar natural advan-
tage Of this water power is that no
dams at all are required. Pipes will re
ceive the water above each fall and con-
vey it to impulse" water wheels at
the bottom of each pipe line in the
plant.
The marvellous profit of one thousand

BASE IMGRATiTUpE.

After a newspaper man has yelled
himself hoarse in an effort to persuade
people to patronize home merchants and
accidentally stumbles on to the fact that
the same fellows he is trying to protect
are sending away for their job printing
or are using printed matter sent out by
patent medicine houses, soap factories
or other concerns, it rather shakes his
confidence in mankind and make recipro-
city look like lead dime with a hole in
it.-Journal.
While we agree with the Journal in
the above, yet that paper is entirely in
consistent..in its argument when the
fact is taken into consideration that it
is equally guilty with the merchant who
sends away for his job printing, for is
it not fact that the Journal recently
had the ballots printed in Frederick for
use at the county election when the
work could have been done right here
at home, even though the Journal was
not equipped for it?

SOME RECOMMENDATIONS.

Having completed large portion of
his Forthcoming message to congress
President Roosevelt takes the public
into his confidence and tells what ne is
going to recommend in the way of new
legislation by the national lawmakers.
He will favor: o. a postal savings
bank; (2) extension of the parcel post;
(3) lakes-to-the-gulf deep waterway;
(Q extension or the powers of the inter-
state commerce commission to include
supervision of stock and bond issues:
(5) amendment of the Sherman anti
trust laws so as to prohibit only such
combinations as are pronounced by the
court to be unreasonable; (6) plan for
emergency currency; (O graduated in
heritance tax; (8) federal income tax
and number of other measures of more
or less Importance. While 1t is not I'M
usual for President to indicate his pol
icies or give an inkling of his recon-
mendations to congress in advance of
the recommendations being actually
made, it is something of a departure for
a Chief Executive to go so completely
into the details of his desires in legis-
lative way as Mr.. Roosevelt has done.
And, altogether, the departure is quite
an agreeable one. 1t gives the people
an opportunity to study them and to
discuss them with their representatives
in the national law-making body in their
own bailwicks before action is taken.

FOR A SOLDIERS MONUMENT.

In THE REPUBLICAN OF last week
there was published q communication
from Mr.. A. F. George, Of Swanton, in
which our correspondent advanced his
ideas and made some valuable sugges-
tons concerning the erection of suita-
bic memorial to the soldiers and sailors
who enlisted in the Civil and Spanish
American Wars from Garrett county.
By an oversight on the part of either
the proofreader or the typesetter an
error, humiliating to both Mr.. George
and to the editor, crept into the COM
munication in question. but which, we
believe, noifair-minded person will take
exceptions to after reading the correc-
ton published in another column of this
paper over the signature of Mr.. George.
With Mr.. George we believe that the
monument should be erected, not by the
Republicans, Democrats or Prohibition
lists, but by the people as a whole.
This matter, as early as last June or
July, was taken up and discussed at
some length by Col. A. G. Sturgiss,
commander of the Grand Army Post in
Oakland, and the editor of THE REPUB-
LIKAN, when the latter at the solicita-
ton of Col. Sturgiss, went before the
Board of County Commissioners and
asked that body for the donation on
the court house lot of site for the
monument should the movement to
erect such a memorial take definite
shape. The Board very considerably
acceded to the request and, we believe,
entered an order on the records in their
Office setting aside the site.
While this paper has not lost interest
in the.matter, other matters have been
claiming the time and attention of the
editor, so that it was allowed to lie in
allegiance until more propitious time.
This time, we believe, has, now arrived
and THE REPUBLICAN will lend its best
endeavors toward the erection of this
deserved memorial to the defenders of
our loved nation.
We suggest that an association, CON-
posed OF representative citizens from
every part of the county be formed and
that this association have the matter en-
tirely in charge; that our representatives
in the General Assembly endeavor to
have passed bill appropriating from
the State Treasury sum of money for
the object and that every resident of the
county contribute little or much toward
the fund to be raised for the purpose.
Over in the adjoining county of Pres
ton magnificent monument, erected on
the court house lawn at Kingwood, was
recently unveiled. The shaft stands at
at height of about tW enty feet, which
is surmounted by an infrantryman
clothed in all the accoutrements Of war.
This memorial was erected and paid for
by the residents Of the county, its cost
being in the neighborhood of $4,000.
We would be pleased to hear from
others on this subject .and trust that
the suggestion made by MIR. George will
bear fruit.
