is NOT FIT
FOR SENATOR

Guthrie, Okla, Nov 11.--Views of
Governor Haskell are stilI in demand
among the metropolitan papers OF the
East Following the report that Presi-
dent Roosevelt would likely succeed
Plat in the senate, the New York
World wired Governor Haskell for his
views on the subject and received the
following telegram:
The World. New York; would not
consider President Roosevelt either
useful nor suitable senator. His
efficiency would be limited by his reck-
less impetuosity His usefulness would
be limited by his lack of candor. An
Investigation Of his record for seven
years shows a great volume of prom
ises, but utter lack OF performance.
Indeed, trace his acts and they in
variably depart radically from his loud
promises.
That character of man could not in
definitely deceive the public. From
this time one every promise made by
Mr.. Roosevelt and every act done by
him will be analysed, and such
analysis will uncover the most insin-
cere character, the most persistent
politician that has ever played a part
in American history.

) PAVING WORK
PROPERTY OWNERS EXPECT
TO HAVE PETITION CON-
TANNING NAMES OF rs PER
CENT OF LOT OWNERS.

Those interested In the matter
OF paving Division street from the
river north to Empire avenue 1.-THE
old city limits), distance of tive
miles, say that wheus they are
ready to present their petition to
the city council they expect to
have fully rs per cent of the sig-
natures Of the property owners on
the street.
The various methods of street
paving are now being investigated,
and when the petition comes in the
affected property owners hope to
be united on one particular mode
of paving, with recommendations
as to the curbing, guttering and
other things connected with the
improvement.
The north Division street paving,
If it goes through on the line con-
templated, will be the biggest I'M
dertaking of the kind yet launch
ed in the city. 1t will be over
half a mile longer than the paving
of North Monroe street completed
during the present year. 1t is es-
timated that the Washington
Water Power Co.'s portion of the
improvement will cost $4,000.
North Division street property
owners will insist on the building
of viaduct across the tracks just
north of the river as part Of the
contemplated Improvement. The
city engineers Office and the en-.
gineers for the railroads are at
work on the plans for the viaduct
and hope to be. able to come to a
mutual understanding whereby the
viaduct can be built during the
coming year.

CUTTING OF TARIFF MAY
MEAN DIRECT TAXA TON

increase of the internal revenue
duties, such as are levied on whis-
ky, tobacco and snuff, or it means
stamp taxes, such as were levied
during the Spanish-American war,
when a telegram or check or prom
issory note had to have the stamp
licked for it; or it means an tn
heritance tax, such as the country
has also had experience with as a
war measure, and which has been
urgently recommended by Presi-
dent Roosevelt as a peace maker.
Otherwise the government must
devise some producing
business, such as running postal
savings banks or taking over the
telegraph system.
The reactionary element in con.
gress is disposed to use the finan-
cial argument as a reason for neg
lecting progressive legislation
rather than considering the lack of
revenue as a reason for taking up
progressive revenue legislation. 1t
is assumed by members of the
finance and the ways and means
committee that the country would
be seriously opposed to any direct
taxation measure, and would
rather forego deep waterways and
the conservation of natural re-
measures OF that sort than to take
on stamp tax or an increase in
the impost on whisky.
Whatever is done, the subject is
one to which President-elect Taft
will have to give his serious con-
sideration at the beginning of his
administration.

Baptist

The program of the council
meeting covers wide range OF
vital ubjects-instructio of the
young, home and foreign missions,
family life, temperance, modern
industry and the immigrant.
But more important still is con-
sidered the exhibition Of a united
church as a tremendous force for
Christian PROPAGANDA.
The great organizer of the move
ment was Rev. DR.. VIM. H. Rob
erts, a Presbyterian leader of
prominence and power. He found
support for the idea and brought
the plan into national recognition.
And to him belongs the honor OF
being the first president of the
council.
Bishop Hendrix of the Method
lists, Bishop Doane of the Episco-
palians, DIR. Henry L. Morehouse of
the Baptists and VIM. Hayes Ward
of the Congregationalists, were
among the most earnest and ac-
tive in bringing about the epoch
making event. Rev. DR.. f. B. San
ford was an earlier hero of the
, cause. At a time when union was
considered impossible by all 9TH
ers, DR.. Sanford was an earlier
hero of the cause. At a time when
| union was considered impossible
by all others, DR.. Sanford was
sending out literature from a lit
tie rear office in New York and
personally appealing to the church
, men of the country for hearing.
In the unity for harmonious gen.
eral service the different churches
give up nothing of their forms or
beliefs, they continue to manage
their internal affairs as they have
been doing, they will still have
their preaching and their praying
to their own liking. They have
been likened to the states of the
Union, which in minor matters
govern themselves, but unite in the
federal government in matter OF
general concern.

EY gibson GARDNER.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. g.
What about the revenues?
This is the question which Rep
resentative James A. Tawney,
chairman of the house committee
on appropriations, has brought to
town.
Has the country reached the
limit of revenues to be secured by
the indirect taxation of a tariff
law? viii the revision of the tariff
produce any increase in the cur
rent revenues? Will it produce a
decrease? How about the present
deficit of s47,000,000 and the pros
pective deficit which the country
will face, according to Mr.. Tawney,
at the end of the fiscal year of
June 80, 1909-an amount estimat-
ed at s125 100000?
A chronic deficit Is as bad as a
chronic surplus. There is no trou-
BILE about Uncle Sans credit. He
can always borrow all the money
needed. But II is not considered
good policy to be floating bonds for
current expenses. Good financing
means that current revenues
should meet current expenses.
But this is not all Of the prob
lem. Expenses are increasing with
new legislation. Ii Mr.. Taft fol.
lows IN Mr. Roosevelts footsteps
he will recommend numerous lines
of legislation which involve in
creased expenditures of public
moneys. Inland waterways, Appa.

turnl education In the primary
rural school. federal aid for coun-
try roads, conservation CT the nat
ural resources and many other
topics which figure IN presidential
messages suggest more money. But

email ALIBI" Is
VERY POOR GAME

Foolish Is the man or woman
who tries to fool somebody else
with mail alibi.'
This game is attempted by peo-
pie who want to deceive others as
to their whereabouts. 1t can never
do anything but get them into
trouble, as thousands doubtless
have found out. Yet the fact that
pecks of such mail are received at
the postoffices of the large cities
shows that the scheme continually
appeals to others.
Mr.. Smith, away from home,
wants his wife to think he is in
Boston on Sunday. He wishes to
spend Sunday in New York He
writes a letter, dated at Boston,
stamps and addresses the envelope
and incloses it in another envelope,
addressed to the postmaster, Bos-
ton. with note asking that the
inclosed letter be mailed Sunday.
1t is mailed-stamped in large,
plain letters, Received under
seal at postofice at Boston, Mass.
So Mrs. Smith is not likely to
be fooled. Doubtless many Mrs
Smiths have been put wise" by
this wouldbe deception. And many
more doubtless will be, for they
keep right on trying it-those
foxy men.
