20 YEARS IN THE WILDERNESS.

If a man told ME year ago that l would
ever become religious | would have answered he
was crazy, but nevertheless it is so. [ left the
Catholic church twenty years ago on account of
the way, it seemed TO me, people used The
church for cloak They used to disgust me and
[ SO ignorant [ left the blame on the church
in the place of leaving it the individual said
there is no God because he did not strike these
hypocrites dead. got so would curse the church,
priests and ministers and everything belonging to
the laws of God, and the l cursed the stronger
my craving for drink became. | purchased tel
escope and would search the Milky Way looking for
God then when / could not find him would be-
gin to "knock" the priests and ministers fill I'D ON
more whisky until one year ago last August in
Goldfeld | nearly went crazy from excessive in
diligence. / started for home with a quart bottle
and found myself in the morning about eight
miles out in the foothills. Only for [ had some of
the whisky left believe [ would have died, as

started to return to town. When about two miles
from the city what looked like a paper or
the leaves of book lying near rock. I went over
to them and sat down. as 1 was very weak and
about all in. When picked them up saw that it
was the New Testament. How it got away out
there [ never could tell. 1t must have been there
for some time as it was pretty well used up like
myself

on it when [ said now curse you, you are such a
smart man. maybe you can learn something out of
this book even if you do think you know it ALL
Thus speaking to myself I started to read [

that blows nobody good the calamity which befen
Galveston few years ago was not without com.
pensation. In a comparative statement COVERING
twelve years, six under the old system and six un.
der the commission system in the city of GaIva.t,.
the saving in municipal revenues and expend-
lures in the six years under commission control
has been more than $1,2OO,O0O, which is more than
$500 day. The saving is impressive. The -ror.
of the larger financial operations of the board If
commissioners, as told by the Galveston News Of
March 7, 1907 in verified summary is as follows.
"The commissioners have retired $4,000 Of
the floating debt that the city owed whef. .thev
went into office They have put into permanent Inn.
provements, in the way of paved streets. engine
houses, erection of new water station, repairs of
city hall, etc., sum which can be safely put at
S36OO0O. They have retired of the bonded debt am
additional $489,OOO, and in addition to all the
above and in spite of the huge grade raising work
well under way and probably half completed he
city owes today less bonded debt than it did when
the board of commissioners first took charge
Comment seems unnecessary The commission
system in Galveston does things, and it saves over
$500 day in doing them. 1t retires floating debt
and bonded debt and it has money in the treasury
The changed condition in the finances of Galveston
is the happy result of retiring political methods
and substituting business methods in the conduct
of the city business The reason for the change is
that the authority to do things is centralized there
is public pap for ward heelers, superfuous Of
fees abolished, and the men who hired to
look after civic affairs are at their offices just the
same as any business man, working man, bankers
or anybody else is at his post of duty. The com
mission system pays in Texas. 1t ought to pay
equally as well in Salt Lake.

A NEW STAR.

Before the sun sinks into the Pacific ocean on
next Thursday and leaves the American continent
in darkness another star will have been added to
the blue armament of the flag; another sovereign
state added to the ssterhood making up the United
States. Oklahoma will take the place occupied by
Utah since 1896 at the bottom of the list and will
become the forty-sixth state of the union. The
president has announced that he will sign the con-
sitution of the state and that he will issue his
proclamation validating the enabling act and adj
hitting the state November IS. We believe the
announcement of such an intention in advance is
unusual if not without precedent in the case of
any other state but in order to give the courts and
the people in general chance to prepare for the
transition to statehood, the territorial officers re-
quested it and the president acceded to the request
There seems no reason why the date and favorable
intention should not have been announced thus.
The admission of Oklahoma carries an interest
ing political question without parallel during the
past half century. Oklahoma is solidly Demo
cratic, is generally believed to be- so there must
be merit in the new state to have it admitted by a
Republican administration the year before pres
idential election. 1t is not, therefore, political
expedency state, as some others have been.
More than fifty years have passed since Dem
ocratic state admitted West Virginia was
created during times and cast Republican
vote from its creation until ten years after the
close of the war. Contrary to expectations of the
Democratic leaders who supported the admission
of Colorado in 1876 the electoral votes of the Cen
tennial state were cast for Hayes in that year.
Oregon, too, upset the calculations of the Demo
cratic leaders in its first presidential campaign
and Notwithstanding the fact that the vice presi-
Dental candidate, Lane, was an Oregonian, the
electoral votes in 1860 were cast for Lincoln

as they expected to and rolled up comfort

California, Marty sixty years ago. the last state
admitted into the union which started out with a
Democratic constituency but that was long before
the nation
Oklahoma, therefore, breaks into statehood I'M
der circumstances quite different from those sur
rounding the admission of any other state during
the past half century. That she will be Demo
cratic no doubts, and that her loyalty to the
principles of free government and her fidelity to
the nation will forever remain to augment the
luster of the stars of the fortyve other states is
equally beyond doubt. We extend to Oklahoma
and Ozlahomans the glad hand of fellowship and
surrender the title of newest state to worthy
cessor May she live long and prosper.

AS result Of the financial panic in New York,
many people have withdrawn their money from
banks, savings deposit and trust companies, and,
not being able to rent box in the safe deposit
vaults, are compelled to improvise hiding places
for their coin. The burglars of the metropolis
know this and expected to be especially active
in plying their trade until the money scare ends,
as is evidenced by the warnings sent out by the
police department to the citizens of the city to be-
of the night visitors. Between the burglars
