Through years OF unparalleled po-
litical warfare, his loyalty TO his ideals

abundantly shown. His refusal TO

ample proof of his superb courage.
His career proves that successful

LIKE THE OLD MINING CAMPS.
Women Are at a Premium In the
Panama Canal Zone.

One place In this world where wom-
en- seem TO be at a premium is in the
canal zone. The women employed in
the zone are very few In proportion to
the men. OF total in excess Of $500
employees OF the government 207 are
women. Their salary is about what
the average man makes here In our
cities. or in actual figures they make
1880 month. II is not that the gov
eminent prefers men employees to
women. but the expense OF quartering
women would be so much more es-
penslve than arranging for men that
the latter are employed instead. Many
of the women are employed as stenog-
raphers. telegraphers. copyists. time
keepers and clerks. although the great
majority Of them are either teachers
or nurses. The chief woman clerk re-
ceives a salary OF SITS. whereas the
lowest salary is SIS to matron. The
majority of the women are wives to
the men working on the isthmus, and
are provided with married quarters.
Il is only In a very few instances that
women who apply for positions in the
zone are accepted. II they are not &c.
cepted as wage earners. however they
are making a good record for being &C.
cepted as wives. Girls who go to the
zone 10 visit brothers and uncles sell
dom return TO the United States.
There is such a scarcity Of wives in
the isthmus that almost every girl
who goes to the zone marries an am
bilious young man down there. She
has her innings in one way II not in
another.

Sir:-Your letter Of October l.,

States, and signed by you, as gov
ernor of Oklahoma. has cen referred
to the department of state, which
is charged with the conduct of cor.
respondence between the president
and the chief executive of the several
states.
The character OF this communica.
tion, which understand to be
mainly false, and which ! perceive
to be wholly insolent, Is such that
| am forced To regard II as a device
to attract from the president fo,
the purpde Of a personal contro-
versy, degree of notice which you
yourself would not receive person
ally. Respect for the state of Okla
homa, upon which you have inflicted
the injury of signing such letter
over your title as governor, leads
m TO acknowledge its receipt. The
substance OF the communication pre-
cludes any further official notice of
II. Very respectfully,
