has been retained for another year with
an increase of salary by unanimous
vote of the Athletic association.
Coming to Oklahoma from Bethany
college, Lindsborg, Kan, where for
several years he put forth a Swede
eleven which won the championship of
Kansas, Owens won favor the first year
he appeared at Norman. His efforts
were a complete success and the Soon
ers under his leadership won the South
western championship. The next year
they did equally as well, but last sea-
son misfortune of every description
seemed to follow in the wake of Owens
and his gridiron warriors. First several
OF his best men were so injured by
practice, that they had to retire from
the squad and finally two days before
the Kansas university game in which
the little coach hoped to be victorious,
Owens was shot in the arm while on a
hunting expedition. 1t took him a
month to recuperate and when he did
appear on Boyd field, his right arm

GOV. JOHNSON AT K. q.
The Battle of the World VIII Be
Hard, Graduates Are Told.

Lawrence, Kan, June 11.-At the
thirty-sixth annual commencement
exercises of the University of Kansas
Governor John A. Johnson of Min
nesota delivered the address. He
spoke to 1000 persons in the new
Robinson gymnasium on the Land
marks of American Liberty"
There cam be no reason why a
man, because he is a governox. should
be invited to speak at the exercises
of great university of this charac-
ter, especially when that governor
has not had the same educational adj
vantages as the graduates he is sup
posed to inspire with his words"
Governor Johnson said. "It would
have been much pleasanter for me to
papers and look at my cartoons,
especially If the cartoons are not uf-
kind. But since 1 am here 1 would
like to tell this class something to
remember-an inspiration, but it
would be to place my little stock of
Ignorance at disadvantage to at
tempt an address full of advice to you
who have had this superior advantage
for education.
However, this is the proper time
to think of the future. For years you
have been drifting. Out in the world
1t is not to be so pleasant. At this
time of year there are perhaps many
orators telling graduates of the hun
dreds of schools about the plateau and
the summit beyond, of the room at
the summit for all and of the easy
ascent there. There isn't so much
room up there after all. The way
will be hard at times and the hard
knocks will be many, but to reach
it by blazoning the way will leave
many fond recollections after it is
reached.
1T won't be a toboggan slide to the
summit. Men give up their seats
grudgingly. sometimes; to the women
on the street car. but out in the world
they don't even give up grudgingly.
Every seat is gained by hard work, and
once gained is not given up without a
fight
How much better would Lincoln's
education have been had he been given
the opportunities of great university!

there: the principles and the mood

AFRAID OF THE THIN,

In his first message to the congress
which is now assembled, President
Roosevelt took occasion TO say some
very terse things about President
Gompers and other leaders OF labor.
Yesterday the court dccreed that three
OF those leaders should be sent to
Jail because of their actions and now
official Washington is trembling be-
cause 1t fears that the Imprisonment
OF these three men VIII act as a
boomerang and that in their defeat
they will rise to greater power and
an increased prestige.
There is no argument which can
be produced In favor OF the men
upon whom sentence has been passed,
tif they are guilty OF violation of
the federal statutes as they now
stand. If an injustice is being
heaped upon them through the opera
llOn Oh an UNJUST raw, Ineu Ihe ia"
should be modified and made to op-
crate only for the protection and the
Just protection OF those who come
under it's scope. Employers are not
entitled TO an advantage under the
law, over the laboring man and the
laboring man is not entitled to pro-
lection in practicing an injustice up
on the employer.
If Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison
are guilty OF a violation which is
punishable by a jail sentence, then
they should be made to serve out
their terms and II the law under
which they have been sentenced is
UNJUST, then congress should pro-
ceed. without delay, TO modify that
law.
The fear which has been aroused
. In the hearts Of government officials
at Washington, arises because OF
concern for their political welfare.

NO PAPER TOMORROW

Christmas is the only week day in

fuses to publish a paper. II has been
the custom with the office for years
and years to appropriate this day
for the employees, consequently no
paper will be issued from this office
tomorrow. The employees are entitled
TO one whole holiday in the year
and. as Christmas "a the most uni
versally observed in the whole cal
endar Of holidays, this Is one which is
selected. In making this anounce-
ment, we feel that not single sub
scrLber will object to doing without
his paper one day in the year in
order that the all, including the car
rier boys may have one day for them
selves. The semi-weekly goes TO
press this evening, but 1t Is impos-
sible to publish daily in advance.
so you may expect no paper tomor-

ences, the bankers placed $17y500 on a
table in a room of the bank. Coun-
Gilman Klein and companion en-
tered the room and short time later
left the bank. The bankers then
visited the room and the money was
gone.
AT the request or the directors of
the bank, both men resigned last
Saturday. They were held for court
in the sum of $4,000 bail each.
The seven councilmen, President
Brand and members Klein, Soffel,
Wasson, Melaney and Ferguson of
common council and Atkinson of
select, were then called for trial.
The principal witness was Robert
Wilson, private detective and super
intendent OF the Municipal league of
Scranton, Pa, who is employed by
the Voters league of Pittsburg, which
1rings the prosecution against the
nine defendants.
Mr.. Wilson's testimony was sensa-
tional in the highest degree. Aided by
an assistant, Wilso nengaged a room
in a local hotel and he testified, cut
holes in the door and walls of an ad-
adjoining room. Then series Of
meetings was arranged with coun-
cilmen. His assistant, Herbert Jones,
posed as business man desiring GER
tain ordinance passed, and during his
conferences with the councilmen, Will
son and a stenographer were sta
toned in the next room making a
full record of the transaction.
During these conferences, Council
man Klein had great deal to say
regarding how complete council was
controlled by the accused men, the de
tetive said. 1t was also testified
that Klein and Brand each accept
ed $500 from Jones in payment for
securing the passage of an ordinance.
AT a meeting held in another ho-
te,, Klein, it was testified, told Will
son how hard 1t was to divide money
among the councilmen. To illustrate
his remarks, Councilman Klein told
ot how $l0,OOO nad 10 De split De-
tween go councilmen. This money was
received in connection with the con-
struction OF filter beds at the new
filtration plant OF Pittsburg.
Councilman Klein. Mr.. Wilson tes-
titled said tha tthe councilmen had
different prices. Some councilmen.
Klein told him, wanted $780, some
SIS, some $25 and some $5. Accord
ing to Councilman Klein, Wilson re-
lated the S. councllmen were known
as "hoodums.

So far as the men themselves are
concerned, the officials are nothing.
1t matters not how much of an in
justice may be worked upon the labor
leaders, so long as the thing does not
act as a boomerang to such an extent
that, in the next election, organized
labor will arise in its might and smite
the men and the party responsible
for the injustice. Selhshness alone
rules the men who are frightened,
and so long as this motive rather
than a deep concern for the welfare
of the people rules the acts, there
will be no remedy for existing evils
in the government of this nation and
this people.
