WHO IS HASKELL

Who Is Haskell?
The Republican press has offered
much Illuminating information in re-
ply to this question. but the Tulsa
Democrat has turned on the calcium
rays in a manner that may lead to the
real solution Of the mystery. The
Democrat says:
Haskell may have been the man
who held John Wilkes Booths horse
the night of the assassination of Abra-
ham Lincoln This would make a nice
front page story with pictures.
1T is now up to some enterprising
Republican spellbinder or space writer
to charge Haskell with the assasslna-
tion of Julius Caesar or the building
Of the pyramids.
Haskell may have been the mys-
terious accomplice Of Harry Orchard in
the assassination of Ex-Governor
Steunenberg Of Idaho. He looks like
the picture of the unknown.
Perhaps, after all, 1t was Haskell
who blew up the Maine. He was in
Havana. ILL.,, at the time That's close
enough to the truth FOR the Republl-
cans.
Haskell has not yet been accused
of abducting Charlie Ross. This is a
pointer for the Republican press bu-
reau, which may prove valuable.
"And they have not charged Haskell
with stealing the body of A. T. Stew
art of selling the bones of Guiteau to
a museum.
Possibly Haskell is the man who
aided the Benders to escape from Kan
sas. No extra charge for this sug-
gestion.
- Maybe Haskell Is the man who
struck Billie Patterson. Thus another
mystery of the ages is solved"
While evidence brought out by the
Oklahoma City Times, the State Capt.
tai and other equally veracious authori-
ties point pretty concluslvely to Mr..
Haskell as the man connected with
each and every one of the above
transactions. we are inclined to believe
there is much more TO be said on
the subject before the public is thor
oughly satisfied,

&c. A." Throws a Question Mark on
the Library Condition.

&c. A." Throws a Question Mark on
the Library Condition.
The Carnegie Library should be
looked upon by all citizens as an insti-
tuition of education and information to
be proud Of.
But is It?
The condition in which the visitor
finds it on going over the building in
dicates disposition to let it take care
of itself-let it rot down If possible.
No deserted castle ever looked more
Godforsaken than do those portions of
the library building that are not in
actual use by the library.
The basement constantly has stand
ing water in it and the furnace is
rapidly turning to rust and rot, whilst
window panes are out and the dust of
months, decorated with spider webs,
has taken unobstrueted possession of
the auditorium and the second floor.
The fact is it is fit subject for
an Indignation meeting.
And why this condition?
We are told that the city refuses to
provide funds for keeping it open to
the public and for repairs.
Other cities proudly keep up their
Carnegie Library and feel it a blessed
privilege.
Why should Chickasha, the most
Christian-spirited commu
nifty in all Oklahoma, refuse to keep
up such a laudable institution?
Can any one explain?
We pause for reply. &C. A.

THE OLD PROSPERITY PLEA.

To the majority OF thinking people
the great business disaster that came
upon the nation last fall the effects OF
which are yet felt by trade and in
dustry, forever dissipated the idea that
prosperity is an inevitable concomitant
of Republican administration.
But not so with Mr.. Taft, who Is
again putting forth the old exploded
argument that the election of Mr..
Bryan means business reverses for the
nation. In . late utterance the Re
publican candidate said:
IF he were to be elected unques-
tionably-he may seek to pose as
conservative-because of his record,
because of the failure of the theories
which he has proposed for the last
twelve years, his election will mean
paralysis of business and we should
have a recurrence of the disastrous
business conditions OF the last Demo
cratic administration"
Why didn't Mr.. Taft say that the
Democratic success meant a "recur-
renee of the disastrous business con
ditions" of the present administra-
tion? The Illustration would have
been much more forcible since most
people recall more vividly present
than they do those of a dozen
years ago. Mr.. Taft certainly takes
the American people for easy marks
to suppose that they can longer be
deceived by this species of sophistry.
AT any rate one must admire the
candidates nerve, even it we are
amused by his sense of humor, when
be solemnly puts forth the prosper
my plea in the face of the history of
The past ten months.

POOLING THE voTENs.

The Republican plan for the public
ity OF campaign contributions after
election Is evidently a political fake
to fooI those who believe that con-
tributions from trusts and corpora
lions are returned by reciprocal
rayoYs. Congressman Gaines Of West
Virginia has let the cat out Of the
bag and as he was chairman Of the
committee which fayorably reported
the publicity bfl he undoubtedly
knows all about such political
schemes.
A dispatch from Hot Springs, where
Mr. Gaines Is visiting Mr. Tart, re-
ports Mr. Gaines having said that be
was in sympathy with the efforts Of
both Mr. raft and Mr. Bryan to have
publicity, but he feared that the local
political managers. the men who have
to get the dough would do just as
they have done Ia years gone by. and
neither Mr.. Taft nor Mr. Bryan would
be told about 1t,
81 do not say" remarked the West
vIrginian. that the publicity law puts
premium on perjury. but IL puts
veracity az Disadvantage am not
IN favor Of any legislation that makes
conscientious man less available as
campaign manager than man with
an elastic conscience"
Congressman Gaines is a shrewd
Republican politician and leader Of
his party, and he plainly tells US that
the Republican managers have TO get
"the dough" and that political corrup-
ton win flourish as IN other cam
paigns. so all this talk OF not re-
celying contributions from trusts BY
the innocent Taft. and the promise
OF publicity 'after election Is but
q new scheme to fool the voters
Well, we expected as much.
