Americas greatest runner for The 4tC-Inetre
race is a negro-J B. Taylor, Of the University
Of Pennsylvania He is slow starter and early
in the race always seems to be hopelessiy beaten,
but he finishes with wonderful burst OF speed

N. A. Merriam of Chicago, AND three or four
others if they are needed
For the S0O-metre race, which corresponds 10
our $50 we have probably the tastes: man IN
the world AT this distance. lie is Melvin w
Sheppard, of the Irish-Amercan Athletic Club
a young runner who has beer breaking records
since his schoolboy days, only a few years back
He seems to have no limit, and only a week ago
he broke the Olympic record for SN metres
His team mates will give him able support. and
the Stars and Stripes should fly after this race
as they did at Athens two years ago.
When the 5O0-metre race is reached, We come

New York Athletic Club is the best this coun-
try has for the ive-miIe race. Bellars is Il car
penter by trade, and sprang into prominence as
runner only year ago. He is d natural
athlete, and Will not show his full capabilities
until he competes IN the stadium. for there is no
one in this country who can push him to his
limit
The Marathon race of twenty-five miles is the
most grueng contest on the olympic pro-
gramme. America may not win. hut T. Z. Nor

for America. In the running nigh jump we have
two men who have cleared 6 feet inches

American Athletic Club, and Tom Moftt. for

state, and each community is merely
shifting its criminals onto the other.
and receiving those of the other, so
that nothing is gained. The result
cf the practice is that the criminals
are merely kept moving-a condition
they would bring about Of their own
accord as they do not desire to
be found long in one place.
A vigorous enforcement of the law
against the transient criminals
would drive them from the state and
save the credit of the community and
ct the same time prevent the record
o: tie crimes against the harvesters
and others which fills the columns of
the press every fall.

OKLAHOMA AND THE PIE.

From Oklahoma comes the repor,
that Chief Justice Williams of the
supreme court Of that state is GER
tain to be advanced to the supreme
court of the United States in case OF
the election Of Mr.. Bryan. Governor
Haskell has already filled" on the
treasury portfolio in Bryan's cabinet
and his appointment has been prac-
tically confirmed in his election as
treasurer of the Democratic national
committee. A man must have some
experience in financial matters, you
know, before assuming the supervi-
sion of Uncle Sans great financial
interests.
Here, then, are two good things
separated and sealed" to Oklahoma
Bryan is elected. But let no
tenderfood among the Democracy of
the north imagine that this is all
Oklahoma expects from the Bryan adj
ministration. There are other offices
to hold and there are other states
men in Oklahoma to hold them.
The interior department is just as
good as taken by Alfalfa Bill" MUIR
ray, whose services to the nartv and
whose ability to speak no less than
seven Indian languages, not to men,
ton fourteen different kinds of Eng
fish, entitle and equip him for the
job. In the language of the rural
press: Ellis friends are confident"
A boom has already been started
that is sweeping everything between
the Cimarron and the Red rivers, as
a prairie fire sweeps the hills, for
something equally as good" for the
Hon Ham Bee, and there is singer
in this movement that Bryan cannot
ignore.
And this is only the beginning.
Oklahoma's reticence will be over
come and the state will ask for
something worth while-when Bryan
is elected

sides politics and the political
would have time to become states
men. Tho dignity of the ONCE
would not be cast to the wind by the
small dealings which are necessary
in the plans for reelection. The
officials would not be bled to death
by every petty graft which is able
to control a dozen votes, whether dis
reputable or otherwise, and men
could accept public office without the
expectation OF losing money by SO do
ing. There would be no need of build
Ing machines, nor would the Office
be converted into a means of official
perpetuation Of officeholding.

TOO MANY ELECTIONS.

1t is serious question If we do
not have too many elections in this
state. The election of state officials
every two years keeps the public
mind constantly agitated on the ques-
ton of politics to the exclusion OF
many other things needed in the
building up of the commonwealth. 1t
is urged in behalf of short terms in
Office that in the event of the cleo
ton OF an incompetent man, he can
be easily supplanted. There is some
logic but little sense in the conten-
ton. If the public in not competent
to Judge, when 1t decided on a parti-
cular candidate whether he would be
an efficient public servant, it would
be in no better condition to pass upon
the merits of the man to succeed him.
1t is an appeal to the same tribunal
with the same facts as were presented
to It for consideration before.
1t is questionable if little dose of
bad administration occasionally is
not even a good thing. When Off
Gals are changed every two years,
the voters look with too little SER
iousness upon their election, knowing
that it is for short time only, and
allow prejudice ard. passion to deter
rhine what OUCH. to be a matter o.
serious consideration and judgment.
If they had to endure the evils Of in
competent and dishonest officials it
would make the citizens less liable
to be Influenced by sordid considera-
tons.
But If the official is honest and able
he can scarcely become adjusted to
his environment in a year and give to
his office that consideration which it
should receive, and at the end Of a

has come its cousin, that the official

the average official gets but little
time to devote to the public service
If instead of pursuing the plan
which the biennial election plan
makes necessary, the official were
given four-year term and made in

have at least three-quarters Of his
time while in office to give to the
duties thereof. The public would

DEALING WITH CRIME.

With the advent of harvest comes
the crowd which in few weeks will
fill the records of the criminal courts
with crimes both against property
and individuals. Holdups, bank rob-
berries and arson will become COM
mon place. The criminals are men
who seek this locality because of the
large number of harvesters who are
here and the large amounts of money
which are supposed to be in the
banks for the purpose of harvesting
and moving the crops. The criminals
are not harvesters, but In order to
avoid suspicion they come in the
guse of harvesters and usually Sc
cure work near their intended base
of operation. But they must not be
COMPOUNDED with the great class of
honest men who come into the state
for the purpose of securing honest
employment in the harvest and
threshing season at good wages. We
cannot do without these, and every
encouragement possible should be
given them, for without their services
the crops could scarcely be garnered.
Honest harvesters who seek to save
their wages and carry back with
them the reward of their labors are
far too often the victims of these
cut threats who should be in the pen
itentiary. Forced to pursue a some
what outdoor and unprotected life,
these men are held up and robbed
by bands of criminals whose only
business is that of robbery. They
are usually assaulted when alone and
when they are the mercy of the
crowd which has ambushed them
Robbed of their money, often in the
night, it is difficult for them to iden-
tify their asailants and the criminals
go unpublished. Banks in the small
towns, where there is little protection
against the yeggmen's dynamite ex-
cept the ordinary safe, are at the
mercy of the lawless bands who in
the majority of instances succeed
in eluding the officials. because of
the ease in assuming the guise of a
harvester.
The great mistake made by officials
in treating this class of criminals is
in ordering them out of town. They
are arrested in one place and when
found guilty OF some crime which
would justify punishment they are
merely told to get out OF the juris-
diction OF the court. 1t is needless
to call attention to the fact that no
court whether a justice or other tri-
hunal, has any authority whatever to
enter such judgment or to inf1ict
such punishment. 1t is merely per-
Knitting criminal to escape.
Now look at the rsult Of such prac-
tees. A man commits a crime, yet
escapes by getting out of the courts
jurisdiction with the consent of the
court itself. The criminal is not re-
strained. but is merely transferred to
some other community where he can
pursue his career of crime until again
apprehended and ordered to move on.
Now if only one community engaged
III this practice it would be easy, il
it were selfish enough to do so, to
soon rid itself OF criminals. But the
practice Is general throughout the
