While election returns show that
the new state of Oklahoma ia demo-
cratic, there are about 10000 repub-
licans in the state who are evidently
determined that the party shall be kept
in an aggressive, fighting condition,
and not permitted to degenerate into
the condition too common in the south
of leaving control to federal office
holding brigade. A bitter fight in
progress against professional politi-
clans furnishes evidence of the deter
mination of the majority of the repub-
hcan voters to select leaders ana take
action that will reflect the exact SEN
timent of the party.
Certain political bell-wethers have
been using every effort to secure an
uninstructed delegation to the repub-
lican national convention at Chicago.
One of the self-aDpointed leaders re-
Gently urged that the delegation
should go without instructions in
order to be able to make judicious
trades" in the convention. A vehe-
ment protest arose at once against this
proposition, whereupon the reaction
aries took another tack by urging that
1t would not be proper for Oklahoma,
a democratic state. to attempt to die
tate to republican states in the nam
ing of the standard bearers. On this
proposition all the opponents to Mr.,
Taft are trying to get together to pre-
vent an instructed delegation, but
their efforts have been dismally un-
successful. A recent Washington
Lincoln banquet at Tulsa got out of
the hands of the committee on ar
rangements and developed into a Taft
love feast that threw the office grab
bers into chill. In three of the five
congressional district conventions the
rank and file have selected delegates
instructed for Mr.. Taft Every politi-
cal meeting that is held increases the
enthusiasm for the war secretary, and
the reactionaries have practically
given up hope of securing a delega-
ton that would vote for any candi-
date who would promise federal pat
ronage.
The real militant republicans of Ok.
lahoma are practically unanimous fol-
Mr.. Taft and all indications are that
the state convention. to be held next
week. will send a delegation to Chi.
cago instructed to vote for him first
last and all the time.

continued for any considerable per-
iod, promises to be serious. II is esti-
mated that the loss of duties In Janu-
airy, based on the average imports, was
fully ss,OOO.OOO Continued for q
year this would cause a shrinkase In
the government revenues OF more than
500, 100000. or enough to embsrrass
the government. inasmuch as the es-
timated revenues for the coming fls-
cal year are less than the probable ap-
propriations the present session of
congress.
Experience has usually shown that
these estimates of imports are too low.
Predicted deficits generally fail to
materialiEe, but the evident slacken-
ing Of trade, with lessening of Amer
lean purchases abroad. indicates that
the recovery will be slower than usual
and that congress will do well to prune
appropriation to the vicinity Of neces-
stiles.

Secretary of State Junkin is said to

to file annually lists of their officers
and stockholders in his Office and pay
snug fee for the same. The secre-
tary evidently has his eye on the fees
with a view to showing how important
his ONCE is as a revenue producer. The
real object of filing such information
would be to keep the public informed
as to the responsible owners and offl-
GERS of companies incorporated in the

Honest Tribute to the Man who
Really works.

Boston Globe.
That manual labor is as dignfied as
mental labor, and that the highest labor
is that which makes demands upon the
qualities OF head and hand. OF heart. brain
and body, formed the theme of President
Roosevelts interesting address to the dele
gates Of the National Educational associa-
ton In washington. The president said
that he hoped the schools more and more
would train toward and not away from tho
farm and workshop.
1t is probably true that less misunder-
standing as to the real dignity OF labor
exists today than ever before. II is better
understood today than It ever was that the
dignity OF labor is the dignity of the end
for which it is performed Purposeless
drudgery had no inherent dignity, any more
than has the toll which is directed to un-
worthy objects. The crease in the fore
head and the callous in the hand are

Another effort is to be made to
have the St. Gaudens coins repaired
and improved to suit the artistic
taste of those of us who are rather
fastidious about the appearance Of
their $40 and $40 gold pieces. Congress
is to order the I'm God We Trust"
motto restored, and the officials
charged with the duty of seeing to the
minting of these coins are to have
other changes made. in the hope of
silencing the criticisms showered upon
the designer.
The discussion of the motto ques-
tion has developed the fact that st.
Gaudens is not wholly to blame for
the misf1t appearance of the coins.
His original design was purely classic.
The head for which Mary Cunningham
posed was Greek In outline and there
was a simple wreath in the original
drawing. Some of the mint authori-
ties insisted that there should be
something Indian on the coin, so the
headdress was substituted for the
wreath. The Indian does not look
like Greek and Indian women do
not wear headdresses. The headgear
is solely the property of the Indian
brave. The eagle, too, proved a
shock to some people who had an
idea that they knew what an eagle
looks like, and on whose artistic sense
the feathered trousers Of the st. Gau-
dens bird Jared.
1t will be interesting to see the re-
suit after the tinkerers get through
with their work OF Improvement. II
the face of real Indian maiden is to
be placed on the coin. farewell to
hopes of beauty and the classic out
line. If the eagle is to be modelled
from life. instead of from picture
book. the coin will be bird. The
present design is admittedly faulty,
but there is no assurance that the
proposed changes will make 1t better.

While exports from the United
States were surprisingly large in jan

the Imports were less in the aggregate
than for any January since 1904. Stu
dents OF commercial and trade condi-
tions welcomed this condition at frst.
as il increased the balance of trade in
favor OF the United States and re-
moved the danger of any call being
made from Europe for a return of the
gold imported to the United States
during the financial depression in the
last months OF 1907. Now that the
danger OF q recall of the gold has been
removed, the effect OF the lessened

possrBnIrIrs OF wINpMILLs.

DR.. H. w. Wiley, chief of the bureau
of chemistry of the Department of
Agriculture, has an idea which he is
willing to pass on to our American
farmers without charge and with the
evident conviction that they can all
make money out of it. Having been
studying windmills, outside of con-
gress, he is convinced that they are
capable Of use in producing electricity,
which may be utilized in many ways
on the farm to the comfort and profit
OF the farmer and his family.
Accompanying the suggestion is a
collection of tables, based on scientific
observations and tests. showing that
the average windmill. with but little
infraction of the eight-hour laws, fur
nishes power enough to generate cleo
tricity in quantities sufficient to run
the feed-chopper, heat the house, fur
nish fuel for the kitchen, and do most
of the laborious chores that now fall to
the farmers wife or the hired man.
DR.. Wiley suggests that the fdel sup
ply of the country Is rapidly disappear
ing and may eventually become ex-
hausted. while the wind promises to
continue in unfailing breezes. Prop
erly conserved and utilized the wind
may be made to perform very valuable
service TO the farmer.
