sition of becoming a public
nuisance, either through smoke or

be in position to be able to let
them into the city, We do not pro-
pose to kill our own business as
manufacturers of electric power
and operators of electric railroads
by letting them run through the
city with steam power, but they
might be unwilling to negotiate
with us under a franchise which
does not permit the use of steam
power. And l here announce to
this chamber of commerce that
this is our policy and intention"
D. G. Corbin, in responding to the
toast, Our New Years Present

had been brought in over that line
in the two months it has been op-
Grating.
Secretary Monroe reported the
chamber out of debt and balance

his plans for the building of cleo.
trio lines connecting Spokane with
the great agricultural districts of

the arguments being advanced
against granting the franchise for

that constant use of steam would
ruin the electrical power apparatus

would provide terminals for the

'HARCEO WITH
FORGERY BY
WIRE

Detective Macdonald al an early
hour last night arrested G. E.
Spencer, formerly telegrapher
with the Northern Pacific railroad,
at his home, 1928 Shannon av., and
booked him at the police station on
a charge of forgery. Mrs. Spencer
accompanied her husband and
wanted to go to Jail with him.
Spencer is either particularly
smooth criminal or a victim of
conspiracy of events. The Spokane
& Eastern Trust Co. caused his ar
rest and claim he buncoed it out
of $500 on forged telegram pur-
porting to have passed through the
local Office of the Postal Telegraph
Co. The telegram asked that
Spencer be paid $500 and came
from a bank at Ogden, Utah. A
few minutes after the telegram was
received by bank officials, Spencer
appeared and was paid the money
The officials felt dubious and in
vestigated. The Postal officials
were shown the telegram and de-
clared it a forgery, as the sending
and receiving initials were not of
those employed in the Postal serv-
ice either here or at Ogden. There
was no record of the telegram be-
ing received here.
Spencer claims that he sent the
Ogden bank $500 some time ago
and then drew on it for the amount
He does not attempt to explain the
telegram but insists that he is a
victim of circumstances.

The President has given another ex- ample of the T am the State" policy so habituai to him, and if we have got ten the right of it this is direct blow at the freedom of the press aboat which so much has been said.

WHICH IS RIGHT.

MT. Bryan has declared that "no man can honestly accumulate one mill lion dollars in a life time without en- croaching upon the rights and happi- ness of his fellow men," MT. Bryan himself is a well-to-do-man. Some piece his wealth as high as half mil lien dollars. At all events he has sev- eral hundred thousand dollars practi- cally AII of which has been made dur ing the last decade. Has any of 1t been made dishonestly? We have never heard any intimation or charge of the kind made against him. He may have made some of his fortune by playing on the fads and prejudices of his feI- low men but that is not looked on as dishonorable.
 But to go little further In the cal- culation and see what 1t results in. MT. Bryan is a maker and a saver of money. He knows how to do both and does it. He is only in the forty-eighth year of his age. If his leeturing and literary wsrk continue to be as successful as they have been in recent years, and if he invests his money in a judicious and perfectly legitimate way, it Is easy to predict that he will be worth a mil lion or more before he is sixty. In that case win he change his present views? Will he admit that he has not made his money honestly? Will he admit that he has encroached Ion the rights and happiness of others?" We shall see.
 Now let us consider another opinion. pr. E. Benjamin Andrews. president of the University of Nebraska, says-it is perfectly possible for man with a genius for hnanciering, to accumu- late one hundred million dollars hon. estly and legitimately. That is widely different opinion from Mir. Bryan's. and who may decide between them? If 1t were left to be decided by popular opinion we suspect each man would decide from his own experience. The man who has struggled all his life and has accumulated nothing, or only few thousands would side with MT. Bryan's assertion. Men like Rocke- feller, Carnegie and others of vast wealth will be on the Andrews side. Each would say that he has much more than d million and made it hon. estly.
 After all does 1t not very much depend on the point of view from which one regards money making? There are so many ways now that money can be profitably invested that it is not difficult to increase the cap itaI after a start has been made. There are some who regard any and all speculation as wrong and to those who hold that opinion MT. Bryan's de- claration will be taken as literally true, but how are we to draw the line? If to mention one example. cotton should go down to eight cents a pound: men with plenty of money at hand might buy up a large portion of the crop and realize millions of dollars. Would that be legitimate? Probably

X uopEFUL ORGAN.

Hope and optimism are valuable as- sets, especially to politicians. It keeps them from sinking into the gloomy depths of despair and other uncanny places and helps them to bear the Kicks and cufrs of outrageous fortune. or something of the kind Here. for h. stance. is The Enid q. IT. Eagle boost ing It's faith this way:
 The republican party of oklahoma will win at the next election. That result will be logical There are to- day really only few more democrats in Oklahoma than there are republi- cans. The immigration will be from republican states The mossbacks will be bought out" In the next two years. fl they belong to the I staked plains of Texas. to Missouri and other similar congenial climes.
 The republican party neededa licking, 1ho sican " party s1 is S tf'e party of the people in the long run, and its ultimate supre- macy in Oklahoma Is only a question of a few months
 The saving that Hope springs eter- nal ifi the human breast" is comfort ing reflection to such as The Eagle. The reasons 1t gives for it's bright anticipations are not of the soundest The Democratic majority in the la.e election was so decided that it cannot be brushed aside by any puerile reason. It is doubtless true that some Republi- cans voted with the Democrats because they wanted the Constitution ratif' d. but 1t is also true that there were maay Democrats opposed to that instrument and voted against it, % that doesn't change matters much. The implied charge of The Eagle that "mossbacis" and '-carpet -baggers'' had much to Co with the result will hardly hold watsr for if the truth were known we sus- peet that there are more Republicans than Democrats in those classes.
 The citizens of Oklahoma, and espe- cially the Indian citizens. have had ara- pie cause to distrust the Republican party and to refuse it their support For years they have been swihd1ed. robbed and imposed on in almost every u1aginable way by or under the Re- publican party and through its agents and. representatives. The promise of statehood has been held up to them for almost decade and now that fl is about to come to them it comes nnwil- iingly and grudgingiy, having encoun- tered the active opposition of the Re- pubIicans at home and the disapproba- tion of Roosevelt and the Republican leaders in and out of. Congress.
 We say 1t is not surprising that a large majority of the people of tho new State are Democrats. Even if the principles of Democracy did not ap- peal to them they have had enough of the other to set them against it. But the citizens of Oklahoma are Dem ocrats from principle. and we do not see any reason for change of opinion on their part nor do we believe that such change will take place, in two years or twenty. Papers like The Eagle will be long time seeing what 1t so positively predicts.
