THE UNcoNvERTED STAGE.

Augustus 4'homas, the playwright.
who made bid for oratorical fame
in an address seconding Bryan's nom
ination at the Denver convention, is
not talking as much politics as he
was until short time ago. Mr.. Thorn.
as came back from Denver impressed
with the necessity Of converting all
actordom to Bryan-Sm. The first he
tried 1t on was Wilton Lackaye and
the following dialogue ensued:
You are man of great intelligence
acclaimed Thomas, "why don't you set
right example to the members of
this club by voting? Why don't you
vote, I say"
Il am going to vote, Mr.. Thomas"
replied the actor, with humility.
You are going to Jote-who for?"
For your candidate, Mr.. Thomas, .
very meekly said Lackaye-"for Bry-
an and prosperity
Lackaye continued suavely: 81
voted for Bryan in 1896 and we had
prosperity; voted for Bryan in 1900
and we had prosperity; l shall vote
for Bryan in 1908 nd we shall
have"
But by this time the playwright
had fled
Mr.. Thomas did not remain to hear
the rest of it, and since then he has
given up his project of converting
the thespians.

HARMONY in OKLAHOMA.

IL mas been noted with regret that
Iowa politics in recent months has not
been as harmonious as it might have
been, but at that Iowa is far ahead
or some OF her sister states The
Iowa politician, like the Virginian,
smiles when he says it, and manages
to keep UP gentlemanly fight. even
If he has a blunt ak behind his back
or knife up his sleeve. Thus, in
Iowa, the ladies feel safe in attend
ing political meeting, assured that
though there be fight it will be with
gloves and not with bludgeons.
Down in Oklahoma it is different
An instance is afforded by the joint
debate between Governor Haskell and
former United States Senator Dennis
Flynn, which took place last night.
Before the debate started the speak
ers engaged in a wrangle as to the al
lotment Of time When Flynn started
to salk he was angry and began an at
tack on Haskell's administration,
charging manipulation Of the state
school funds. 1t was not Haskell's
cue to speak until his opponent had
concluded but he couldn't wait.
1T is not true" he said.
Flynn replied that it was true.
ITS a lie and you know it's a lie,"
retorted the governor.
Flynn raised his arm to strike, but
he changed his mind Instead he
said:
''If it wasn't for one thing I'd smash
your face, you coward
The governor became excited and
began to swear until his wife quieted
him.
So, it can be seen, that even though
Iowa politics becomes turbulant at
times, it is never necessary for the
wives of the politicians to take a
hand In so far Iowa has a distinct
edge on Oklahoma.
The only thing that is hard to un-
derstand in the whole affair is just
why man by the name of Dennis
Flynn didn't smash" somebody's face
when his veracity was questioned in
such unmistakable terms,

Commenting on the postponement
of the senatorial contest in Iowa I'M
til after the election, on, the assur-
ance that Governor Hughes will be
nominated in New York, on the peace
compact between Taft and Foraker in
Ohio and the other recent develop
ment that make for harmony in the
Republican ranks, the Chicago
Tribune says:
The most gratifying consideration
as to the composition of all these not
unnatural locals jealousies and com
bats is that their Importance has been
realized by the party leaders and
that they have been promptly and
efficiently dealt with. The Republi-
can organization is hard at work and
the momentum Of the Republican
cause is increasing steadily. There
will be no apathy on the morning of

This looks like a perfect system of
forecasting, but it is not. Much labor
and hard study must be performed
before perfect system can be eyolv-
ed. While l know all the causes I can
not always determine, on first effort.
where one cause ceases and another
takes its place. By a second or third

and when one cause supersedes an
other, but in calculating for forecast
we can have hut one trial.
By a long series of difficult expert

HARD GOING FOR eoMpERs.

President Gompers Of the American
Federation Of Labor is meeting obsta-
cles in his plans of turning over the
labor vote to Bryan. Objections
have been made by several of the Or.
gans of the bodies affiliated with the
American Federation against the at
tempt to mix trades unionism and
politics. The latest protest is voiced
by the Piano, Organ and Musical
Workers Official Journal, which says
editorially:
The Executive Council of the A. f.
Of L., Of which Samuel Gompers is
the head, has constituted itself an
auxiliary campaign committee 10 The
democratic party
They are doing things as I'll ouga
they were real politicians. They are
using lot of persuasion in the shape
of circular letters by which it is ex-
pected to relieve the horny-handed
man of toll of various and divers
nickles and dimes.
Whether they will be successful is
another question.
There used to be a time, long, long
ago, when a few men did the thinking
for the many; but by this method the
few generally got the best Of the
many. Time, thank God, has brought
change; the toiler has become more
intelligent, and is today, in most in
stances, doing his own thinking and
acting.
The circular letter which has been
forwarded to all affiliated unions of
the federation, asking for campaign
contributions ennumerates various
virtues of the Democratic party, that
is, virtues the party promises to ac-
quire.
This is no certainty, it is but a
promise.
Trusting in this promise, our highly
esteemed officials of the American
Federation of Labor has seen fit to
verge from the trodden path of trade
unionism to enter the arena of party
politics.
We desire to ask President Gompers
or any other of the signatories to the
letter what precepts they followed in
issuing these unusual documents
We would like to ask what real
act, not promise, beneficial to the wage
worker the Democratic party ever
performed Warranting the present ac-
ton of the executive councilo
We have searched diligently for
some act or deed of the Democratic
party justifying labor's support, but
have been unable to find one.
Many of the southern states tar
and feather union men and organizers
when caught in the state. The most
deplorable working condition in the
United States, the lowest wages, the
greatest illiteracy, are all to be found
there under the Democratic regime of
the solid South"
And the SOLID South" controls the
Democratic party
Ihe Journal believes that if Pres
1dent Gompers had the courage of his
convictions, he would have recon-
mended the formation of a political
part, OF. by and for the wage worker.
Or that he would, at least, have as
certained the will of the individual
trade unionist as to his wishes in the
matter.

Dear Editor:
In Thursdays Tri-Weekly Courier
an article appeared headed, Then and
Now You say the S103 Ebert steers
were quite contrast compared with
the prices at the close of the Demo-
cratic administration. Now the Cou-
rier should be told and remember the
price of cattle and hogs of only few
months ago under the same Republi-
can rule as we have today or Sept I,
1908, the day the steers were mar
keted. We farmers find the market
high, then low, regardless of who sits
in the White House chair Won't the
Courier meet us and agree to quit this
rotten political talk? We have almost
stopped 1t in this neighborhood.
