Tall, powerfully built, a hooked nose,
keen blue eyes, an aggressive chin, a
repellent mouth, Henry Cavenaugh was
the personification of the modern Croe-
sus. 1mmutable in purpose, logged in
perseverance. a relentless enemy, a
Jesuit in that the end always justified
the means, he stood a pillar in the
world Of finance, where there is
sometimes justice, but never any
mercy. T~hirty-five years before he
had been a messenger in a stock
brokers' office. OF his a~ntecedents
nothing was known until he broke
one of the famous gold corners in the
seventies, when a handsome, ruddy-
checked little Irishman bobbed up Sc
renely from nowhere in particular and
claimed to be the great Cavenaugh's
father. But his proofs were not con-
vincing, and when the son showed a
decided contempt for him, he gently
subsidized into oblivion and was heard
of no more. From time to time Car
rington gathered a small crumb of in
formation regarding his sweetheart's
grandfather; but whenever he
preached the subject, however tact
fully, everybody concerned headed the
conversation for a different port.
Darlington had never laid eyes on
the old gentleman, and, for all he knew

to the contrary, he might be a myth.
He reasoned that in all probability the
grandfather was illiterate, uncouth,
n rather an awkward piece of family
furniture to handle, when the family
proper were ingratiating themselves
into the Chippendales of society. I'm
fortunately, Mother Cavenaugh, good
hearted and amiable in her way, had
been stung by the bee of the climbers,
and her r ambition was to establish
herself and daughters in society; and

arlstocratic family (poor, it is true),

"ay! Nothing had warned him of the
impending tangle. Until two days ago
Cavenaugh was at the other end Of the
world, so far as his Investigations at
maj time were concerned.
He struck a match. The silver of
pine fared palely in the sunshine,
writhed and dropped, black and
charred, to the floor. He shrugged his
shoulders. Chivalry of this sort was
not n order of the day. There was
something stronger than the voice of
duty, something stronger than the
voice OF the heart: it vas the voice
OF pity, which urged it's appeal for the
hundreds of men and women who had
invested their all in the Cavenaugh
concerns. The thought of their ulti-

THE AUDACITY OF 1T!

One OF The most amazing pieces of
| impudcnce in defense Of scanda IoUS
graft and robbery that the people of
J this city have ever been treated To. is
the mcndacIous assault continued from
! day TO day By the Smoot Mouth,
''thc official organ Of the Republican
party, against the Republican County
Attorney Of this county. These at
/ tacks, besides being sheer audacious
mcndacity, arc not even presented in
good faith on the proposition which
they pretend 10 discuss, for. if il had
7 not been for the suit brought by the
! County Attorney TO compel the rcstora-
tion 70 the public treasury of the money
{ stolen thercfrom by the partisan graft.
ers, for their organ, the Mouth y
would have been as loud in lis praises
of County Attorney Lyon : action in
The so.calcd rcd light cases. as it is
now in the denunclation of that action,
for it is n question Of graft first, with
the Mouth, and afterwards of par
tY allegiance. II could not by any
means be brought 10 act against party
official unless that official had inter
fcred with lis stealing; but since he
did interfere with that stealing,
and since il is impossible for
the Mouth TO assail him because he
wanted TO recover this stolen money. 1t
seeks and finds this false prctense un.
der which to disguise It's real malevo-
lcncc and resentment. 1t prctcnds 10
find this cause in Mr.. Lyon S treatment
of what it calls tho cred light eases.
II matters not TO il that its prcscuta
tion Of "facts' are lies, that it's pre-
tended law is not the law, that It's
course is trcachcrous and false through

Bat its venom and rage at being cx-
posed in robbing the county with the
suit demanding restitution. must find
some vent. and so it scizes upon the

torncy's handling Of those cases. TO
vent its rage. Yesterday morning,
more than two columns of its editorial
page were taken up in ranting and
raving against tho County Attorneys
and the moro il rantcd and ravcd, the
more evident il was that lis quarrel
with Mr. Lyon is merely vindlrtive,
not legal, immoral not moral, diShon-
est not honest; mere billingsgatc out

And so, as the public understands fully
the motive for the attack upon Mr..
Lyon, and secs tho stupidity and ig
norancc displayed in that attack, the
'' Mouth might Just as well spare IT'S
breath. because il can make no I'M

oKLAHOMA'S BAD EXAMPLE.

Oklahoma has assumed to give oX-
amplcs to the other States on certain
economic, financial, and political pro
ccdure. 1t has so many innovations
in It's State constitution that President
Roosevelt was strongly tempted to DIS
approve and require some other sort
of constitution being adopted before
he would issue thc proclamation admit
ting Oklahoma 10 the family of States;
But on reflection, he saw that no mat
ter under what constitution the State
might be admitted, if the people were
dissatisfied with il, they woulI pro
coed without hindrance 10 form new
constitution, or 10 the amendment of
the old one in such manner AS the poo
pie might desire, So the proclamation
admitting the State was issucd with
the constitution framed as the delegates
Of the people desired.
The bank guarantee legislation has
been held up TO the world as something
especially worthy Of imitation; but that
is an idea that has been tried in older
States in times past, where it failed,
But that bank guarantee project was
more political than financial after all,
and it appears that politics are running
rampant in that Statc-that everything
there must be gaugcd from the partisan
standpoint Last year the regents of
the State University got rid of some
Of the faculty because thc politics Of
the dismissed professors were objec-
tionabIe; but the regents disguised their
purpose by passing a resolution con-
demning the use of cigars, cigarettes,
prohibiting waltzing, and visits 10 the
casino. where some Of the professors
were occasionally found in the even
ings. taking Il drink Of beer or wine.
This served as n disguise under which
the political action Of dismisslng the
professors was taken,
More recently, however, as explained
in the Oklahoma City Times, ten teach
ers have been summarily dismissed
from the Agricultural College of Okla
homa with no disguise at all, but simply
''ln order that firmer supporters of
the Haskell State administration might
be elevated 10 positions which carry
good salaries. 1t seems to be about
The pIainest and most indefensible pro-
cedure against an official or professor

in the United States since the polyg-
amist raid upon President Kerr Of The
Agricultural College Of Utah, which re-
suited i'll oustIng him from the prcs-
