ILLUMINATING.

Oklahoma has at last commenced
getting a square deal in the remote
and less enlightened places like
Boston, Baltimore and Philadelphia.
There has been tendency in some
of those frontier posts to make sport
of the new state, largely because the
isolated places are where men become
so provincial they are disposed to ac-
cept their own version of things as
correct no matter how little be the
opportunity for study of the case in
point There have been times, of
course, when the people of this state
ielt unkindly toward their Uniformed
critics, but remembering the lack Of
opportunity and poverty of those
frontier posts, they have proceeded
on the theory of returning good for
evil. and the wisdom OF such action
is becoming more and more manifest
The poor people in the points men
toned have been able to send few
Of their most enlightened and pro
gressive citizens out here and they
under the influence of enlightened
and progressive Oklahoma citizens,
early grasp the fact their home folks
are behind the times, and some Of
them stay here and ask help to bring
their older and less enlightened kins-
men to this land Of righteousness and
liberty Surely the people OF this
state can have no greater pleasure
or accomplish more for the general
good than to aid in bringing light
to those who have worked so long
in darkness and who are. after all is
said. of our own country and deserv-
irg Of whatever aid we can give
them

Mr.. Lowe, the ladies' Of the stitch

you a birthday gift as a small token OF
their esteem, have subscribed $40 or
more. and are unable to decide be-

the wlsest plan to ask you to express

De Almonds Last UtieranceS.
Lynchburg News.

Lynchburg News.
Twas in answer to the pleading of
a little child. and in effort to save its
life from the flames of his burning
home, that the brilliant Missouri Con-
gresham. David A. De Almond. went
bravely to his death the other dsy.
Rarely have the press dispatches told a
more pathetic Story than that which re-
lated to this most appalling occurrence.
"Oh, grandpa, get me out of here.
I'm burning to death"
Yes, son, don't be afraid. Grand
pail take you out"
This the prayer of the terror-stricken.
helpless little one. This the answer of
the horror-thrilled, but heroic De Ar
mond- Was there ever a more Distress
full plant? Was there ever a response
more reolete with wealth of splendid
seit-sacrifice- Throughout his distin-
guished career, De Almond has deliy-
cred many brilliant speeches upon the
hustings and in the nations legislative
forum-addresses whose force and
strength marked him as statesman and
leader Of high order. But never did the
man make so noble a deliverance as
that which rang upon his lips as he was
about to die-never did he pronounce
uttersnce which partook of such sub
lime meaning, as was the message he
sent the little boy, whom he sought to
comfort and to save. That twas all in
vain; that locked in each others en-
brace both child and grandparent, suf-
fered the fearful death they did-ah,
that's the thing that wrenches the heart
and bedims the vision of those who
think upon it.

The Eclipse.
Philadelphia Press.

Philadelphia Press.
To one who watched the eclipse of
the moon early on Saturday morning
there was given a deeply impressive
sense of the greatness of the laws of
nature and their inevitable carving out
in the process of time. This eclipse.
which was one of the simplest phenom-
ena of astronomy, was predicted to the
minute, and to thousands of waiting
and eager watchers its coming was a
proof of the wonderful scientific knowl-
edge of man. The greater occurrences.
like the eclipse of the sun and other
great astral bodies, and the crossing
and devious motions of planets in their
orbits are equally we'll foretold by the
astronomical savant, and even the ereat
comets, apparently lost in space for
long eras, have their return prophesied
with wonderful accuracy. So the paths
of the comets of HALEY, Biela and
others are traced upon the heavens
chart, and the parabola of their orbits
are so clearly calculated that their re-
turn is as certainly known as the arriv-
al of an express train at some desisnat-
ed station.
The world awaits the coming of Hal
ley's comet within reach of unassisted
vision, with great interest, and mean
ing while the astronomers in their OBJ
servatorles are watching intently, night
by night, while the world sleeps. the
different bodies in the heavens. manv
OF which are invisible to the naked eve.
and are realizing that the celestial time
table is being carried out with a reeu-
iarity impossible to anything controlled
by man, and as we see this great mani
Hesitation of the power Of the Almighty
and the wonders of the universe we
realize that His laws, spiritual, moral
and physical, are immutable, and that
only by living in accordance with them
true happiness and prosperity can be
secured.
Men sometimes forget this and carve
out their careers, unheeding the man
dates of the Almighty. But the wis
dom OF the centuries clearly reveals
this fact, that only by obedience to
these laws Is progress possible, and the
man is wise, even beyond his day and
generation, VINO looks through nature
up to natures God, and obeys His eter-
nal laws in meekhess and simplicity of
faith.

A Tame Affair.
Charlotte Observer.


Those who have studied the WAYS of
Halley's comet and are able to accu-
rately predict its movement for some
months ahead say it will come in con-
tact with the earth some time next
spring; or, to speak more accurately.
that its tail will then give this planet
brush from near one pole to the other.
The Washington Herald says that peo-
pie need not feel any alarm as to re-
suits. According to this authority
the inhabitants of the earth will not
know when the contact takes place. 1t
thus assures them of their safety.
Some time next May Halley's comet
is going to brush by this old earth of
ours, and we are scheduled to be swept
from Lake Erie to Key West by the
fiery tail thereof.
Do not be alarmed, however, gentle
reader. There is nothing at all uncom-
Portable about being swept by a comets
tail-at least, this particular comets.
This spectacular attachment is a decep-
tive thing. 1t is beautiful, positively
dazzling, to look upon, but it is not at
all useful In a comets business. 1t
does not invariably trail along in the
rear, as, of course. a well-regulated tail
would naturally be expected to do.
More generally than not it sticks out at
sharp angle to the comet itself, which
would appear to be awkward, and might
interfere considerably with the comets
locomotion, only it locomotes in such a
grand, gloomy, and peculiar way that it
does not seem to matter much how the
tail behaves.
The reason why the sweeping of this
tail will not be especially noticeable
physically is because it is composed of
thin, highly attenuated gases, of such
elusive quality. Indeed, that contact
Herewith produces practically no sensa-
ton whatsoever that you may notice.
You will not feel it so much, as a mat
ter of fact, as you would the warmth of
trapped ray of sunshine on a cold De-
cember morn, If you should blindfold
yourself while the comets tail is sween-
ing things fore and aft here below. YOU
could not figure out lust when il
began operations or ended the same.
All that is required of the people who
are anxiously looking. forward to the
earth's collision with the comet is to
possess their souls in patience and wait
the announcement of the astronomers
that the collision is on and that they are
enveloped in the tail of the comet. It
promises to be an exceedingly tame af-
fair. The Observer, for one, expects
nothing else than to be disappointed.

Our Vast Corn Crop.
Portland OregOnian.

Corn in king, even with the price Of
cotton soaring TO such dizzy heights
that this years crop, although smaller
than some of lis pred sccssors, will come
near to breaking records in the amount
OF money placed in circulation. One
must think and talk in big figures When
the corn crop is uoder consideration. for
all other American crops are dsafed bv
comparison with this greatest of grain
or cereal crops. According to the pre-
lIminary report of the crop-reportinv
board of the Department of Agricult-
ure, as printed in Saturdays Oregonian.
the 1909 yield of corn in the United
Statesis 2, 767. SIC, 600 bushels. As the
price is lowering around go cents per
bushel, the actual value of this single
crop is more than 81, $50. 600, 900. or
nearly 81, OOO, 900. 600 more than the val
ue of our wheat crop.
There is a steady increase in the con-
sumption of corn, and each year finds AN
increasing quantity diverted to use.
which are of very recent inception. Not
very many years ago corn was 80 cheap
that 1t was used as fuel in Kansas, but
the ease with which the markets at
home and abroad have assimilated an
average of 2,729, OO0. 900 bushels per
year for the last three years points con-
clusively to the fact that corn will never
again be available at a price that will
warrant its use for fuel Unless there
Is weakening in the price Of other
grains, home consumption will take up
all Of this mammoth corn crop and leave
us again with bare bins, as was the case
when the 1909 crop began moving to the
market. King Cotton is all right in his
small kingdom in the South, but as
prodigal distributor of wealth corn is
king by an overwhelming majority.
