part to n form OF nervous dyspepsia
with which he had long been troubled.
Last year Mr.. St Gaudens was oper-

though he was temporarily relieved he
continued in poor health. During the
past month his decline had been rapid
he was unable to walk from his house

Gradually he grew weaker and about

MOST NOTED SCULPTOR IN AMER
ICA
With the death of Augustus st. Gaud
ems the world has lost the most fam
Gus sculptor in the history OF Ameri-
can art. No other man has met with
so great success, both in the esteem
of those competent to speak with au-
thority and in the measure Of popuia,
approval. No other American sculp-
tors work has been so widely AMI eag
erly sought. no other sculptor has been
so overwhelmed with commissions
orders beyond the capacity OF any man
to fill. even were he less exacting in
elf-criticism than the master who
would take years upon years for thu
completion OF a work rather than let
1t leave his hands in shape unsatis-

an American artist, Augustus St Gaud-

He had gone to Siberia a hardened

ANOTHER aMIkApo" ECHO.

A letter from New York manager
from the Secretary of the Embassy
at Washington contains the nearest
approach yet recorded in America to
an official Japanese disapproyal of the
light opera "The Mikado." The let7
ter expresses no wish on the ambas-
sadors part, but Is designed to convey
the fact that the performance of the
opep, in question presents to the eyes
of J1,,Anese scenes and acts that are
quite improper and offensive to their
sense of conventional pride and de-
cency"
There is no censor in America who
can suppress "The Mikado." and the
Lord Chamberlain as done I'm England.
But the ambassador should be salts
fled to know that the people here have
accepted and admired the opera with
never a thought from the beginning
that II was intended to insult or even
to represent Japan.
In very admiral paper just print
ed in London, Mr.. G. X. Chesterson
emphasizes the point that the only
people satirized in THE Mikado' are
the British themselves British Office
holders, red-tape AID British ridlcu
| lous customs are held up to mockery
under foreign names and dresses
which are. with librettists license
dubbed Japanese. The titles and the
trappings are picturesque, not peril

If any country is insulted in "The
Mikado.' it is Bngiand-that England

satire again.-New York World.

MR. BRYAN AND The TARIFF.

According to Mr.. Bryan's way OF
thinking, both the trusts and the
railroads are more important fac
tor and political issue than the tariff.
Talking to the reporters yesterday he
said: Il believe the Democratic party
in its national platform will take
cognizanoe Of all three issues, but In
my opinion the tariff will be the par
amount issue"
Federal reputation of the rail-
railroads cannot be taken from the Re
publicans while Mr. Roosevelt leads
the party Southern Democrats will
never consent TO the indorsement OF
Mr.. Bryans sociaiistic government
Ownersip policy. There can be no
effectual regulation OF the trusts with
out a revision Of the Dingley sched
lles In Democrats circles the init
atiye and referendum is looked upon
as Populist joke. and rather a bad
joke at that. II the tariff is to be
tossed aside, where does Mr.. Bryan
propose TO find paramount" issue
that voters will vote for?
Or is Mr.. Bryan conscientiously in
favor OF leaving the tariff issue to the
Republicans on the ground that tar
in has constitutional right to be
revised only by its friends?-NeN

running It's course IN large number
OF Republican newspapers.
The attempt is made TO make people
believe that this provision giving the
legislature the power to prescribe for
voters additional qualifications not In
conflict with those expressly stated
in the constitution is something occult
unusual and a thrust al the right Of
franchise.
Tie fact Is the power conferred on
the legislature Is entirely unusual and
nothing extraordinary about H. except
the desperate nerve OF the fellows
who are trying to make campaign
thunder out az Il.
The Republican organic act con
ferred Just such a power on the ter
torial legislature. but somehow, IL
had not occurred to the Republicans TO
vociferously condemn II on that ac-
count
After prescribing the qualifications
for the first election, Section 5. of The
organic act proceeds:
AT every subsequent election the
qualification OF voters, and Of hold
ing office. shall be such as may be
prescribed by the legislative assem-
bly,, subject, however. to the follow
ing restrictions on the part of the
legislative assembly, namely. First,
The right of suffrage and of holding
office shall be exercised only by citi-
zens of the United States above the
age OF twenty-one years and by per.
sons Of foreign birth above that age
who have declared, on oath, before a
competent court of record as required
by the NATURALIZATION laws of the
United States, their Intention to be-
come citizens, and have taken oath to
support the constitution OF the United
States. and who shall have been res
idents of the United States for the
term Of twelve months before the next
elections at which they offer to vote,
Second: There shall be no denial Of
the elective franchise or Of holding
Office. to citizen, on account of race,
color. or previous condition of servi-
tude. Third: No officer, soldier, sea
man, marine, or other person in the
army or navy or attached to troops in
the service of the United States, shall
be allowed TO vote in said territory by
reason of being on service therein.
Fourth: No person belonging to the
army or navy shall be elected to, or
hold. any civil office or appointment
in said territory"
The two provisions are as much
alike as two peas. Clearly congress
was not afraid TO trust the legisla-
ture with general powers in regard to
the franchise. afraid to put a few re-
strictions itself on the right of fran
chise.

any other inceptlve empire ever had
to contend wbh The whole situation
IN the coming state of Oklahoma Is
unique and for various reasons typi
cal of nothing that has gone before
In iiie creation of a state In the Union
For all these reasons Mr.. Bryce will
nave an interesting visit He will
learn much of the constructive genius
Of ordinary American citizenship. and
ne will be able to see the blighting
eject OF too much Federal interfer-
ence In that part of the new state
that Is aow embraced in the Territory
Of the Five Civilized Tribcs. +"
It is hoped the British Ambassador
will stay In Oklahoma long enough
TO learn the story OF struggle and
pluck and energy against blighting
odds that characterized the new state
In its first strenuous years when the
trail that led to this present paradise
was strewn with wrecks OF lives and
hopes, and when the alkali dust en-
veloped alike the physical bodies and
the hopes OF penniless pioneers who
moved on to the far horizon OF the
West as II by instinct The lesson
that ha sheen learned by the Okla
homa pioneers Is worthy II consi-
tutes a subject for the facile pen of
the British diplomat that Will make his
former efforts at American analysis
pale by comparison.
Among other things Mr.. Bryce may
learn about Oklahoma is that one Of
the men recently nominated by the
Democrats for United States senator
walked into Oklahoma carrying a
typewriter and lunch basket; that
he became a stenographer in the ter
ritorial courts, 9 lawyer. United States
district attorney member of the legis-
lature, colonel of a regiment In the
war with Spain, a wealthy and sue,
cessful business man and win go to
the Uaited States senate from the
newest state, all at the age of less
than forty years He will learn that
the nominee for the United States
senate on the Indian Territory side is
an indian, a native Of the Territory,
and one OF the handsomest brainiest.
wealthies. and most patriotic in all
the Southwest.
TIE coming state of Oklahoma will
present an interesting study to Mr..
Bryce. Despite contention between
the parties there that threaten to yet
wrech the chance OF statehood fougth
for during more than seventeen years,
he will find the people of the proposed
state as one in their zeal to make "
the greatest state in the Union. He
will find great schools with magniti-
cent endowment, good society of the
most cosmopolitan sort, and much
wealth. sll achieved under adverse
conditions by men and women with
pluck to do and dare.

A whole ticket OF good. clean mea
is presented by the Democratic party
for the consideration of the voters

mistake by supporting any man in the

stand for immediate single statehood
There is not a lmocker OF abstruc

II elected. as they will be, they
will give TO Oklahoma good. clean

long ldride toward a bright new era
for the grand new state.
Under their ministrations justice
