aoLn rOn A PRICE

The fact that the republican press
bureau IN Oklahoma has turned its
Rpd batteries on the deposlsors'
infaasg le is proof positive Chat
eil seAts4nce of q state campafga in
Oklahoma is TO be abandoned. Joe
Norris, rspublicsn state chairman
and McGnire's campaign manager,
has sold out the republican party Of
Oklahoma for a campaign fund 70 be
used IN re-electing Bird hicGuire to
congress from the first district. This
campaign fund comes from the re-
publican national committee and it
comes as the price OF treachery Joe
Norris. Bird. Mcclure and the Ray
nond.Creagor combine on the east
side know that ninety-fve per cent
OF the people OF Oklahoma, regard
less Of politics. are staunch advo-
Gates and believers in the guaranty
law. They know that an attack by
the republican press and speakers on
the guaranty law can have but one re-
suit and that is to drive honest re-
publicans out Of the party in Okla
homa However, the republican ma.
tional management hopes to be able
TO deceive the voters as to the real
working Of the bank deposit gusran-
ty law In order to accomplish chat
purpose, they must make it appear
that the people of Oklahoma are not
unanimously approving the law.
When Joe Norris asked fJr finan,
ciai aid from The republican nation
al committee the answer was. dis
credit c. ". Haskell and the okla
homa bank deposit guaranty law and
you can get all the money you want.
There is no chance for Taft to carry
Oklahoma and we don't care how un-
popular it makes the party in your
state, II you will only succeed in
cooking up a good batch OF medicine
that we can use among the unsus-
pecting voters in other states to con-
vince them that the bank deposit
guaranty scheme is impracticable. ."
The fact that the republican press
bureau is devoting columns of mat

conclusive that Norris accepted the

Why not get in all the charges
against Governor Haskell at once and
get II out of the system:
It was Haskell, not John Wilkes
Booth, who assassinated lincoln
Haskell abducted Charley Ross;
Haskell sunk the Maine;
Haskell stole the body OF A. r.
Stewart;
Haskell Is Mrs. Guinness In disguise;
Haskell shot Mckinley;
Haskell was the man who struck
Billy Patterson;
Haskell is the grandfather Of John
ID. Rockefeller
And the wonder is, how Haskell
bowed under the weight OF all these
crimes, can manage TO give Oklahoma
an dministration which Is clean
decent and upright and which is loyal

COST OF COTTON MANIPULATION.

The proceedings of the International Con-
gress of Cotton Spinners and Manufacturers at
Paris strongly confirmed the warnings which
have repeatedly been made in these columns
and elsewhere concerning the inevitable effects
of ektravagant speculative manipulations of
the American cotton market. We have fire.
auentIy pointed out, what should, indeed, have
been apparent to every thoughtful observer,
that such performances as have characterized
our cotton market many times in recent years,
some OF which have had their sequels in court,
would inevitably move foreign consumers to
seek other sources of supply which would be
less costly. or at least would he less subject TO
arbitrary and artificial fluctuations 1t seemed
to us folly akin to that which killed the goose
which laid golden eggs to imperil and to i'm
pair great and profitable permanent business
for the sake of temporary gain. or to imagine
that no matter what we might do the cotton
manufacturers of Europe must always endure
it and remain dependent upon us for their sup
plies.
That view of the case is vindicated by what
has been done and is being done by various
European governments. corporations and indi-
viduals. and by the utterances and acts of this
congress at Paris. Energetic efforts being
made for the development of cotton culture in
Africa and Asia, and these are meeting with
measure of success which is at once encourag-
ing TO the makers and ominous and alarming to
our own cotton growers. There is no doubt
that there are great areas in those continents
admirably adapted to cotton culture, and
that the necessary labor can be obtained there
more cheapy than in the United States. In
such circumstances the development of a COM
petition against which the country could not
comfortably stand would seem to be only q
matter of will and enterprise, and the tone of
the Paris congress Enthusiastically indicates that
these will no longer be lacking.
Tha provocation TO this competition was prob
ably first given by the notorious cotton cor
ners" of few years ago in the New York mar
ket. but it has been by no means confined
thereto. Whatever combinations agreements
exist among planters for restriction of acre
age. holding back of stock or other means for
artfcially Increasing the cost of the staple to
manufacturers have the same effect as cor
ners' on the Cotton Exchange and are equally
culpable. 1t is a matter of notorious record
that in the recent past the operations of great
European cotton mills have been interrupted
and the activities and earnings of thousands of
employees have been injuriously affected
through purely artificial manpuations of the
American cotton market. That such occur
rences would he indefinitely endured was some
thing which it would have been fatuous TO ex-
perI.
