KEIFEHH OILERS WIN
FIRST GAME HERE

The Keifer Oilers won the first game
of the series with the local baseball
team yesterday afternoon by the score
of 6 to 5. The game was as exciting
as the close score would indicate.
Errors at critical times were respons-
ible for Vinitas defeat. Fields, the
crack Indian pitcher had the Oilers
at his mercy at nearly every stage of
the game, but his support was of the
ragged variety. The locals easily out
hit the visitors and had it not been for
the errors would have shut the Oilers
out The vinita boys made strong
fight for the game and in the ninth in
ming really made things look bright
for while but could not overcome the
lead of the Keifer team. The same
teams play today. Chouteau viii be
on the mound today and Fields again
tomorrow.

YOUNG URGED TO
Be A CANDIDATE
Present Bank Commissioner May op-
pose Newkirk Man For Demo-
cratic Nomination

Guthrie. Okla. Aug. 24.-Will Bank
Commissioner A. M. Young forego a
banking career at big salary to con
test with Bob" Dunlap. Of Kay county
and State Auditor M. II. Trapp for the
Office of state treasurer in the demo
cratic primaries next summer?
The present state treasurer. ]. A,
Menefee is forbidden by the constitu-
tion to succeed himself. That leaves
the field clear for new comers. Mr.
Dunlap was his opponent in the 1907
primaries and came within 1000 votes
of beating Mr. Menefee. He hopes to
win this time and announced his can
didacy while in Guthrie last week.
State Auditor Trapp is forbidden by
the constitution to succeed himself as
auditor and is already candidate for
the state treasurership.
Both Dunlap and Trapp would be
formidable candidates, and with the
fight between themselves would have
an interesting time. Their regulations
throughout the state, moreover, is such
that no one has yet been announcing
himself, as far as known, to contest
with them.
The reputation however made by the
Muskogee banker as bank commission
er, has caused both private and public
requests that he stand as candidate
for the state treasury. When asked
about it Mr.. Young is non-committal,
and he has said privately more than
once that he would not care to make
the race. One of the chief reasons
for not running is said to be an offer
from an eastern banking institution
of national reputation proffering him a
salary double that of the treasurer
ship
The Bank Deposit Guarantee Journal
Of vinita. official organ Of the Okla
homa Bankers Section, in it's August
number, eoltorializes as follows:
Bank Commissioner A. M. Young
seems to be the universal choice of the
business men of the state for state
treasurer He would poll the largest
vote, in the opinion of many astute
politicians, Of any candidate in the
state. Mr.. Young has made an envi-
able record in enforcing the Oklahoma
bank guaranty law. We have not al
ways agreed with him in certain of his
rulings, but we have never doubted
his sincerity, ability and answering de-
votion TO his duty. His high ideals Of
citizenship and the conscientious mar
ner in which he has discharged the
responsibility of his Office will make
him candidate who will add great
strength to the ticket on which he
runs"

ent Injunction, sought by the Western
railways against the interstate COM
merce commission in the famous Mis-
souri, river rate case, was granted here

lating to June rates from the Atlantic

were a reduction from the sums of the
local rates. This according to the
western railroads threw burden upon
them.

Christian selenee.

Why the Catholic church con iemns
Christian Science is explained by the
Catholic Record as follows:
First Of all. it is pantheistic in doc
trine. Mrs. Eddy, in her book, "sci-
ence and Health says that tk.re
liz no such thing as matter. This
makes God all. Hence all is mind.
Secondly. it denies the free will OF
man, and declares that will power, is
an illusion of belief.
Thirdly, 1t denies that there is such
g. thing as sin. IT." says Mrs. Eddy
"soul sinned, it would be mo, tall "Re-
ca use soul is immortal. soul cannot sir .
Again: "The soul or mind is God, and
God never SINS
Fourthly, it denies the consequences
Of sin. "sin, sickness. disease and
death have no objective reality"
Filthy, it denies the personality Of
God. God is the universe
Sixthly, it denies the omnipotence Of
God. God cannot produce matter

Federal Libel Suits.

Speaking Of the indictment Of the
editors of the New York World aud
the Indianapolis News for libel BY the
government. William Jennings Bryan
scys that 1t is dangerous attempt
to destroy the freedom OF the press.
II think" he says, that Congress
should pass a law expressly denying
to any court the power to entertain
suit such as the President is trying
to bring. If the Government can be
made to take up such a case only a
millionaire will be able to criticise the
administration, and he won't dare I'M
less he is willing to give up his mil
lions In defense Of himself. The ordi-
nary remedies for SANDER for libel
provided by the states are sufficient for
any redress for Mr.. Roosevelt, or 9TH
ers criticised.
But to place the entire machinery
of the government into motion just
because a few men have been criticised
Is going too far. To establish such q
precedent would be dangerous and tile
error thus established would be great
It would be using the government to
suppress criticism Of individuals and
Of work concerning which the people
as taxpayers have the right to raise
questions" &

The Famou. Irish Brigade.

The Irish Brigade was organized
after the retreat Of the Federal troops
at Bull Run, and took part in nearly
all the battles Of the war. 1t origin
ally numbered 5000 men, but only a
few hundred returned to their homes
when peace was proclaimed, SO des-
perately did these brave Irish Catfo-
lies battle for the country in which
they had found home. The brigade
was fortunate in its leader, the bril-
liant General Thomas Francis Meagh.
er, one of the most gallant soldiers
that ever drew sword on the battIs-
fields of America. 1t was the proud
boast of the bridgade that they never
lost q flag and never showed Their
backs to the enemy. Whenever des-
perate situation confronted Generals
Sumner, Richardson, Hancock, Por-
ter and Miles. who in turn comnAud-
ed the First division, Second corps, 10
which the brigade was attached, they
called on the men with sprigs Ct
green in their hats to save the stu
alton, and they were never disappoint-
ed.
Among many Of their. notable
achievements was the capture of tito
Sunken Roads, known as bio IDLY
Lane" for which they were specially
mentioned in the dispatches by Nc
Clellan, the saving Of the right wing
of the army at Gaines Mills, and for
this they were publicly praised nv
Fitz John Porter. At the battle ct
Fredericksburg the brigade entered tho
battle three thousand strong, AMI
when the conflict was over only Two
hundred and fifty Of these brave SOL
diers could answer the roll call. Tie
brigade was almost wiped out OF ex-
istence on that day. The officer dc.
tailed to bury the dead on that terri
tie occasion found the soldiers of the
Irish Brigade lying within forty yards
Of the enemy's guns. Such was the
valor of Irish Catholics during the
civil war.

marks at their expense.
He was cold and reserved i'll his man.
rer, cranky, gloomy, pessimistic.
He was suspicious Of everybody
He never threw the doors Of his heart
wide open to people, or took them into
