An Oklahoma editor puts forth this
plea: My friend, help the editor in
his wide eyed search for news. When
your friends come to you, if you are
not ashamed Of it, tell him; when your
wife gives a tea party, if you will
have recovered from the effects of
the gossip, drop in with the news;
when baby arrives fill your pockets
with cigars and call; If you go to a
party, steal some of the good things
and leave 'em with the item in our
sanctum. II your wife ticks you, come
in and let us see your scars and tender
sympathy through the paper. II your
mother-in-law has died, don't be bash
full about it; give in all the common
place news. In short, whatever
makes you feel proud, sad, lonesome
or glad submit it to our twenty -four
carat wisdom and see our matted lock
part and stand up on end with graft
tude, which will pour from every pore
with moisture from a dew besprinkled

guilty to the charge Of conspiracy
brought against him in connection with
the bribery of the city's supervisors.
Rucf came into court so weak and

had been built against him by District
Attorney Langdon and his assistants.
Ruef has become discouraged. The
efforts of friends TO instill cour-

and his defiant mood was soon

Tho Right to the Land.

The rioting In Roumania. with which
the civil war began last month. grew
out Of the struggle OF the peasantry
Tor control OF the land. struggle sim.
slar to that now in progress In Russia
and Ireland. Until 1864 the peasants
of Roumania were serfs. The land
was owned by the church. the monas.
feries and the nobiemen. The peas
ants cultivated It. and paid.a 1.-THE
of the product to the proprietors.
They also had grazing and fuel rights
in the pastures and forests OF the
proprietors. When. in 1864. the law
was passed for the emancipation Of
the serfs by the distribution OF the
land among them. the fuel and grazing
rights were extinguished. and the peas
ants. although each household re-
ceived title to from seven to fifteen
acres on easy terms Of payment. had
to continue to work for the old pro-
prietors to get money to pay for their
fuel. They were soon at the mercy
OF money.lcnders. who exacted usuri-
Gus rates OF interest MANY uttctHpts
to Improve their condition have been
made. either by increasing the amount
OF land which they could own. or by
the establishment OF an agricultural
bank to deliver them from the private
money lenders, but these attempts
have not been wholly successful. says
Youths Companion. Large tracts OF
land have been leased by syndicatcs
and sublet 70 tenant farmers Mt high
rates. and the taxes on the peasant
owners have been heavy. As n re-
suit. great suffering has been caused
among the sons and daughters OF those
who were surfs only n generation ago.
The Ignorance and improvidcnce OF
tho peasants. combined with the op-
prcssions OF tho moncy.lenders. have
led to conditions which the peasants
think can be relieved only by resort
TO violence. They have been wrought
upon by designing politicians with dis.
astrous results. The government has
announced Its purpose to remit some
OF tho heaviest tax and to reform the
land system.
