Haskell and Bryan.

y C. Mott in the Marengo Republi-
can: The writer has seen Haskell
governor of Oklahoma) and heard
him sneak a number of times. We
heard him in the noted constitutional
convention. where he was the actuai
leader. He is schemer and manipu-
lator. No plans are too intricate 10
be formulated in his conniving nina.
nor none too dangerous to be entered
upon If Haskell is to be the gamer
by them. He has enemies without
number. and about as many In the
Democratic as in the Republican
rarity. He adopts desperate measures
to attain his purposes and thereby
aiienates people. 1t is true he was
elected governor of Oklahoma by
good majority, but he only got his
nomination by narrow margin. Al
ter he was nominated Democracy sup
ported him fairly well. He beat
clean man for that nomination by per-
sonally abusing him. He beat Frank
| Frantz, the Republican nominee for
governor. because his party was in the
majority, but even then did not re-
frain from personal abuse. That kind
| of campaign is his kind. His career IN
business, in organizing and promoting
| financial concerns and corporations,
as we'll as his political career. shows
that in intrigue is where he shines.
How Bryan can be imposed upon by
this political adventurer and monde
script is interesting. Bryan is the
idol of Oklahoma democracy. They
love his isms and populistic notions
Haskell won the leadership of the
party there and was constant in his
flattery CT Bryan. Bryan, like some
ether people in the world. is suscept
ible to the wiles of the fatterer. The
constitution was shaped to suit Bryan
He publicly said it was the best con
stitution ever written. He thus fat
tered Oklahoma democracy. 1t ther
became natural for Bryan to accep
the leader of the party there. Bryan

COST OF TUBERCULOSIS.

In an address before the Information
al Congress on tuberculosis. Dr A
D. Melvin, chief of the bureau OF ami
nal industry of the department OF az
riculture, said that about 10 per cent OF
mich cows, one per cent OF otner cat
tie and two per cent OF hogs IN the
United States are affected with uber-
culosis, the average percentage LOT
all cattle being estimated at SO. Inc
economic loss on account OF tuoer-
culosis in food-producing animals Is
heavy. The loss on animals II wnlch
tuberculosis is found in the federal
meat inspection is estimated at 81
3S2.433 annually, and if the same con-
diticns were applied TO animals
slaughtered without federal inspection
the annual loss on all animals slaught-
cred for food in the United States
would be increased to s4.102,4S3. The
stock of animals on hand is also de
preciated in value because Of tuber-
cuiosis.
Assuming that living tuberculosis
I0llCN CWS are ANNUALLY ucpiCSiotSu
to the extent of one-tenth of what
the loss would be if they were slaugh-
tered, other cattle one-third, and hogs
one-hah, the total annual depreciation
amounts to sS,046.219. The annual
loss from decrease in milk production
is estimated at s1.150, 900. and there
also is some loss from impairment of
breeding qualities, etc. Taking all
these items into account. the aggre-
gate annual loss because of tubercu-
losis among farm animals in the Uni
ted States is estimated at not less
than $4,000, 900
Such heavy financial losses make
the eradication of tuberculosis from
farm animals very desirable purely as
an econmomic matter. AS the disea e
is found principally among cattle and
hogs, and as most of the infection in
hogs is derived from cattle, the main
effort should be directed agaias. the
disease in cattle The benefits to fol-
low rom the eradication of tubei culo-
sis from farm animals are so great and
so obvious that the necessary expcndi-
lures. even though they must be
heavy. may be regarded as a highly
profitable investment.

of heat, light, and power. This prom
inence is partly due to national pride
and interest in the movement. partly
to the bonus of FIVE or six cents gal
lon the German government pays as
a bounty on the denatured alcohol,
partly to favorable economical condi-
lions, alcohol being relatively cheap
and petroleum products relatively
dear, but mainly to governmental or
ganization and effort in promoting the
domestic use OF the product.

A veritable avalanche of mail for
points in the United Kingdom was of.
fered in the various business centers
of the country on October /, when the
rate by agreement between England
and America dropped from five cents
to two cents an ounce. Many houses
having large business in England
had saved UP letters for several days
to take advantage of the lower rate.
The longest distance which a letter
will now be carried for two cents is
5000 miles from San Francisco to
London.

Prof. W. I, Thomas OF the University

get his hair pulled by the women Of

plain the "adventitious character q.

OF truth in the saying of Pope tha,
women have no characters at all. :

accommodate themselves to the solid
realities of the world and sense. but
to adjust themselves to the personal
tiles of men, From being slave and

Professor Thomas regards the moral
ity of woman as mere expediency.

In an address at Evansville, Ind,
Hon. James S. Sherman, Republican
candidate for vice president, recalled
that a tradition prevails among law
yers, that defeated suitors may cuss
the court and jury who decide against
them. He concluded frc this that
much is to be pardoned in Mr.. Bryan
for his rejection By the national CON
vention of 1904. and for the popular
condemnation OF 1896 and 1900. But he
declared that the sight OF political
sores exposed is neither edifying, re
freshing nor pleasing. To expose them
shows how severe was the punishment.

District Attorney Jerome of New

authenticity of the recent political
prophecy published in the New York
Times over the signature of the late
Grover Cleveland. The article in ques-
ton was sold to the Times by
Broughton Brandenburg. a literary
agent. and was certified as authentic
by the executor of the Cleveland es-
tate, F. S. Hastings. The genuine
ness of the signature was questioned
by John G. Carlisle, one of the closest
friends of Mr.. Cleveland. Branden
burg is quoted as admitting that the
article was prepared by him from con-
versations with Mr.. Cleveland, and
that the latter did not sign it.
