SAGE OF PRINCETON
 HIS EARLY BIRTHDAY
The College Town Preparing to Honor Grover Cleveland

Princeton, N J., March 4.-(SpeciaI correspondence of The Republican, - Aside from football games and other athletic Contests there is only one day in the year when this sleepy old town rouses from its lethargy and lets itself loose. That is the 18th of March. the birthday of Princeton's most distin- guished resident, MT. Grover CIeve- land. On that day everybody who is anybody in Princeton calls at the big white house which is the Cleveland family house, to pay his respects: there is steady procession of messen- ger boys delivering telegrams of con graduation; the postman makes extra calls to deliver the letters addressed to the eX-president, and crowd of col lege boys marches over to the front lawn of the Cleveland house singing songs and giving the Princeton yell in his honor
 The noteworthy thing about this demonstration of respect in honor of the only living ex-president is that il grows in volume with every recurring anniversary. Every year the number

 After the fight Terry's heart was nearly broken over his failure to avenge the insult that had been of fered him in the ring. The little ex champion went back to his training quarters.

Senator Beveridge showed the same
ignorance OF conditions in Oklahoma
as was displayed by Secretary Taft.
and made the same appeal to the vot-
ers of the state mot TO bring on their
commonwealth the odium OF being q
part of the solid south"
Here in Oklahoma where the corn
tassel and the cotton blossom wave
side by side, the people of the North
and the South have met on common
ground, and reached a common un-
derstanding. The people of the North
have learned TO knox the intense
PATRIOTISM the uniform courtesy anG
the high ideals OF honor that charao-
terize every true southerner. The
people of the south have come t~

business probity, the push. the deter.

stinct OF the men from the North
| From this mutual understa nding has
grown up a mutual helpfulness. ana
here in Oklahoma, for the first time
in the history OF the United States,
we find the men of worth and intellf-
seEee from North and South stand
ing shoulder to shoulder and working
side by eide for the De ,elopment OF
their great new commonwealth aud

Senator BeyeriGgc or Secretary Taft

any other way, except by turning out

known by Senator Beveridge to be
false when he made ".
Seventh Question: Would It not be
good thing for Oklahoma to open
the books? Is any democrat more in
terested in the ambitions OF Governor
Haskell than he Is IN knowing the
conditions OF the state money. which
he Is taxed to raise?
Answer: An good people are inter
cstcd in having the books OF Okla.
hcma open to their inspection and
that is just what they have got anu
Senator Beveridge knew It when hd
uicd to give contrary impression.

While the republican politicians Of
Oklahoma were fighting statehood last
fall, and trying every means fair or
foul to induce the people of Oklahoma
TO reject the constitution, one OF their
stock arguments was that the limit on
taxation in the constitution was so
low that 1t would be impossible 70
raise taxes sufficient to pay the state,
county or school district expenses
In the beginning OF the present cam.
paign, without apology FOR thei: state
ment last fall, these same republican
politicians went from one end Of the
state to the other proclaim.lg thar
because OF the extravaganza of the
state administration, taxes were go
ing TO he twice as high in Oklahoma
al they should be.
When the democratic press o, jnc
state published the actual f'gurcy
proving that the doMccrotic STATE g'i
ministration had levied $4,000 less d.
rect taxes 20 bear the burden Of siat
government for twelve months than
had been assessed by the republican,
administration 20 pay ehte esnepXs

ians with their subservient news
papers turned another back somer

they are giving vent TO Inournful Jers
miads over the alleged fact that thC
democratic administration has made
the tax levy so low that rot nearly
enough nor will be raised to pay
| the public expense. It's wonderful
| how much interest and how little in
formation these republican politician,
and republican newspapers have or
every public question.
From the day that 1t became knovr
that on Overwhelming majority OF thu

existence. than has been accomplish
cd by any other state in eleven years.
Despite the wall that corporation
control would drive capital out OF OK.
lahoma the eye Of honest investors
throughout the United States have
been attracted to her wonderful field
o. development, and the influx Of
wealth has been greater since state
hood than ever IN similar period
before.
Despite the fact that our admission
to the Union was preceded by a two
weeks "holiday" proclaimed by a re.
publican territorial governor to pro-
tect the banks of Oklahoma from the
effects OF a republican panic: and
despite the charges OF mis.manage-
ment and gross extravaganza made by
the republican politicians and repub.
lican news sheets. the democratic ad.
ministration from the hour IL took
charge Of the affairs OF the state gov
ernment has maintained the credit of
the state absolutely at par, and by its
wise distribution OF the public moneys
has largely nullified the effect IN ok
lahoma OF the financial crisis that has
proven so disastrous throughout the
other states Of the Union.
With all OF these facts before them.
the republican politicians and the re.
publican newspapers OF Oklahoma will
persist in trying to fool the people by
groundless charges which they know
they must abandon as quick as the
searchlight of truth is turned on the
records which they dare not quote
That their charge that state taxes
IN Oklahoma would be doubled IS
false, they now admit.
That their charge that the demo
cratic administration has not made a
'evy large enough TO pay the expense
OF the state government Is equally
untrue will be demonstrated by time
The total expense OF the state gov
ernment Of Oklahoma for nineteen
and one half months will be- in round
numbers Sl750.0OO When the repub

newspapers say that It will be s2.5OO

as to the improvement of jefferson

take effect and be in force from and
after the combined storm water and
