New State will Get Some Good Ad-
vertising In East

The plans have been accepted for
the Oklahoma Booth in the general
exhibits building at jamestown, and
it might be said here that the Booth
is beauty. The plans for this pro-
position were drawn by Mr.. Hansen,
an Oklahoma City artist, and sub
mitted to the board of managers. The
work Of the construction Of this
booth, which is sixty-five by twenty
five feet, will begin very shortly.
Two propositions for advertising
will be adopted. In this Oklahoma
booth will be map Of the state on
the wall. All counties contributing
to this building and exhibit fund, that
is now being raised by popular sub
scription will be represented. Their
products vii be shown in full. There
will be no counties represented in
this map except those that assist in
building the building.
Another means of advertising will
be the Oklahoma book. This viii be
the official advertisement. It will
be an elegant proposition, handsome.

A STRAW FIGHTER

The Nogales Oasis has divulged an "open secret" that there is a move
 meat in this territory to secure a dele gation for Senator Foraker in the next national convention, says the Phoenix Republican Colonel Bird isn t going to let it be done. This is the first we have heard of it, but the general under
 standing is that Senator Foraker is not wanting a delegation from Arizona, or Ohio, or any other state or territory
 It is further understood that the sen ator will present the name of his dis
 tinguished fellow townsman, Hon. Will liam Howard Taft, to the next national Republican convention. We say this is the present understanding among those about the national capital who are politically weather-wise. Their fore casts of the future are usually fairly accurate. They are, though, liable to err, just as weather forecasters do, whose study of atmospheric currents now and then fails to take into account some meteorological condition which brings all calculations to naught. Per haps in this case these political fore casters are not aware of the existence of that permanent storm center in Santa Cruz, that continuous current of hot air which emanates from the blast furnace in Nogales where Colonel Bird perennially is molding public opinion.
 They will learn in time that when presidents are to be made Colonel Bird is to be consulted. A man who yields such influence in his own bailiwick is not to be sneered at as national fac

A SURE PREVENTIVE

We wish it were possible to found a chair for teaching the art of preventing lynching, of which Captain Macdonald of the Texas rangers would be the in. cumbent, and that every official charged with the custody of prisoners liable to lynching should be obliged to get from him a certificate of competence in the theory and practice of that art. The captains principles are very simple, and are suceinctly stated in the speech with which, according to Senator Gull person, he greeted mob gathered to seize & prisoner who was in his custody. The speech was emphasized, says the senator, by Ca rife and I don't know how many guns in addition to his usual armament'
 CT am here to protect this prisoner, l have special orders from the governor to see that he gets fair trial, and l Fl protect his life with mine. If you get him you we got to get me first. You can do that, but m get some of you before you do it. The first man that puts B foot ou that jail step, by -, I'll kill Now, you get out!''
 They got out. The courage of mob is collective. Faced with situation where the first individual to act is sure to be killed, there is no first. Such q threat as that of Coptain Macdonald dissipates the madness that makes men the blind instruments of the common impulse, and brings home personal ac- countability as well as personal risk. The mob ceases to be savage entity and dissolves into units, each with fears and a will of his own. This is shown in the fact that precisely the feat per formed by Captain Macdonald, a train ed fighter, with the authority of the law consciously felt in his mind, was a few years since performed by young girl, the daughter of sheriff in North Carolina. The preventive demands un- usual heroism, but it is sure.

tor. It is not every man who proclaims himself as leader in a small and fairly evenly balanced county that can drive opposition into a solid and overwhelm- ing majority and by his unaided efforts bring all his own ideals into disrepute and engulf them in defeat.
 But really the trouble with Colonel Bird is that he has a mania for making men of straw, imaginning them to be his bitterest enemies and hammering them into unshapeliness.

GUGGENHEIM IN SENATE
Shelter Trust a Good One, but He Will
 Divorce Himself from It

An interview with Simon Guggen- helm, senator-to-be from Colorado, ap- pears in this weeks Ridgeway's in which he makes plain that he expects to be elected, and frankly tells why.
 Among other things, MT. Guggenheim said:
 "There is nothing wrong about this. It is merely conducting political cam paigns as they are conducted these days. The money l have contributed has helped to elect these men, and natural ly they feel under obligation to vote for me It is done all over the United States today. l do not consider that it is wrong, neither do l think that it can in any sense be called bribery"
 "Do you think" he was asked "that these men would vote for you if you had not paid their expenses Do you think that you could be elected if you were poor mani''
 '''I would have the same chance of being elected that any other poor man would have" was Mir. Guggenheim s answer. "Beeause I am wealthy and because I have contributed to the Re publican campaign funds 1 have more prominence than I would have had had l been poor. l suppose if l had been a poor man l would not have stood as good chance to be elected as my wealth gave me." /"
 "Is there any probability that some members of the legislature may form q combination, as has been done in other states to force you to make further ad. vances?"
 Mir. Guggenheim smiled, says the in terviewer, and made answer:
 "There is no danger of it, and it would not succeed if there was. Mind you, I will be elected. Make no mistake about that.
 "There are different kinds of trusts. Some are good and some are bad. The shelter trust is one of the good ones. We treat our employees well; we deal fairly by the people. The shelter trust is not hated like the Standard Oil and some others, because it does not practice oppressive methods. Aside from that, when take my seat in the senate, will not be shelter trust nor any other kind of trust man. l intend to di- vorce myself entirely from business and give up twelve months in each year to- ward advancing the interests of the state of Colorado and the United States" :"
 MT. Guggenheim was asked if he ap- proved of President Roosevelt's course in regard to the trusts. Quickly he an swered that he did. Then he was asked {:
 ."Would you have voted for President Roosevelt 8 rate bill if you had been a senator last year9"
 Mr. Guggenheim did not answer the question.
 Ridgeway's, commenting on the inter. view, says that "Colorado the corrupt is electing to the highest office within it's gift man who has bought and paid for the place. It is money that is put ting him there and nothing else. It is to the shame of Colorado that this is true"

simon Guggenheim of Colorado will be one of the youngest members of the United States senate. But it is too bad that he could not have been inves- tigated before he takes his seat. Then it might develop how much the head of the shelter trust paid for the job.
