GOING TO OKLAHOMA.
Three Men Are Travelling in a 16.
 Foot Canoe.

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept 11.-Three young men making their way from the east to Oklahoma in 16-foot canoe stopped over here yesterday to get instructions and advice from local pilots on streams to be tra- versed and general conditions along the route.
 The party is composed of Richard N. Strevell and Raymond L. Borden of Schenectady, N. Y., and William Adams of Boston, who had padded his own canoe from Boston via New York, the Hudson river and the Erie canal when the three met and joined interests near Buffalo. A fourth man will join the party fur ther down the Ohio. They camp along the shore at night and by hunting and fishing for food hold their actual expenses down to 25 cents day each, securing money for the trip by any means offered en route.

Topeka. Ks, Sept 11.-"The time is coming when a course preparatory to matrimony will be offered in our public schools in which young men and women will be taught some im-
 portant matters relative to mar riage." Professor F. H. Blackmar, head of the department of sociology. at the University of Kansas, made this statement here last night In an address before the superintendents of Kansas charitable institutions. Professor Blackmar believes such a course would go far toward improv- ing Americans as nation and he believes 1t the most expedient rem edy for unhappy marriages. Pro- lessor Blackmar advocated a strict physical and mental examination oi all applicants for marriage licenses.

says If one jurymau was Of one oPin.

should take into consideration the

Lawrence Gazette: Several very
fierce men who want to go to con.
gress from Kansas and other states
are telling what various things they
would do to Cannon IL they could just
get near enough to reach him. These
mighty fighters would be the first to
crawl on their knees to the speaker II
they were in congress, and would be
begging in month for leave to eat a
few OF the crumbs that fall from the
speakers table. Cannon may be q
boss, and tyrant and car, and q
dictator and all that, but il not Can
non then it must be some other man
will be boss and dictator. II these
wild and woolly fellows who are such
fighters at long range should get to
congress they would find out that it
is necessary TO have head and boss
Of things. They would discover that
II they tried to carry their whoop!la
convention tactics into the national
congress they would be set upon good
and hard and plenty. And II they had
a speaker with tape worm for a back
bone, congress would not be able to
pass more than one or two bills at a
session, and they would probably be
very poor ones. Anarchy would take
the place Of order and propriety, and
while few wild fellows might con-
vince their constituents that they
were great men because they prevent
ed things from being done instead Of
doing them, the country would suffer
for the fun the members had.

scores d times, says the three most
beautiful views in the state are these;
From the State University hill at

HOwe's new bungalow that overlooks

I,ristow In bis first public statement
after announcing bis candidacy for

question why Senator Long has not
used his great influence in Washing
ton for Kansas people, he iorgets.
When Mr.. Bristow was shorn Of his
power In the fourth assistant post
master generals office by President
Roosevelt and the postmaster general,
II was to Senator Long that be imme-
diately betook himself. And 1t was
Senator Long who used his influence
with and persuaded Secretary Taft to
send him on the mission to Panama,
an assignment to let him down easy
and with agood salary attachment.
In fairness Mr.. Bristow will hardly
raise the question Of accomplishment
Tor Kansas people against Senator
Long again. 1t is unfair, unjust and

just now tits the fashion TO decry
'ppeculatIonr as II It we're . crime
Yet thoughtful students Of economic,
agree that II 10 not a crime per Sc bul
there is both good speculation AMI
bad speculation. The problem is u
draw the line between that which il
honorable and that which Is perilous,
The question Is where shall the lins
be drawnp No one writer on this
subject agrees with Another. Some
would 60 so far as to draw o line that
would close up the Stock Exchanges,
while others would draw line that
would simply wipe oct the gambling
in bucket shops.
The fact is that while we all realize
that there is good speculation and a
bad speculation, no one can draw a
hard and fast rule that will separate
one from the other. Inventors and
promoters are scouts or outrunners
who by their far-sight or ability ex
plore new routes over which trade
and finance may afterward travel.
These men are spectators who per.
form such large service, to the race
that they are entitled to generous re-
wards. But the economist shuts out
from the line Of honorable and useful
speculation the large class Of people
who are merely ignorant guessers or
bettors on the prices Of. stocks or COM
Yet how are the great
spectators, who are the scouts and
,utrunners on the frontiers Of BUSH
ness enterprise, to. perform their
work unless they have q following OF
more or less ignorant guessersg II
We are to cut out this class Of people
rom the speculative arena, who are

No one can deny that fearful evils
ollow the abuses Of speculation and
ret speculation has performed for the
world most miraculous service.

With all their losses and disasters,

ury more than without 1t was pos
ible in three centuries.
There is too much speculation up
IN inadequate capital. Most Of the
wills Of speculation spring from that
act. Wall Street would do well for
he country, and in the long run for
tself, If it would increase the percent
Ige Of margins in speculative trans
.ctions to nearer the actual value Of

planned to Capper the important part
Senator Long played in the matter
and freely declared that Long was not

that he was one Of his chief advisers.
Congressman Scott and Congressman
