Mr.. Taft on Statehood.

President Taft's renewed assur-
ances that he favors the admission to
the Union of Arizona and New Mex
leo are especially pleasing to the peo-
pie Of the Southwest as they were in
tended to be. They would inspire
greater confidence that two more
stars are soon to be added to the flag
if the President, up to this time, had
given evidence Of sufficient influence
over the Republican Congress to
make it do what the Republican plat
form promised.
If, in the coming session Of Con-
gress, the Republican members de-
sire to fulfill their party's promise Of
statehood, the admission of Arizona
and New Mexico need consume but
little time. The national platforms
Of both parties favor their admission
and the people generally are expect
ing it.
Mr.. Taft's advice to the people of
Arizona and New Mexico that the
Oklahoma State Constitution is too
long and that theirs should be shorter
is good. Nearly all our State Consti-
tutons, with their frequent amend
ments, are becoming so much too
long that they read something like a
volume Of the Session Acts. But
when Mr.. Taft charaCterizes the max
Iers Of the Oklahoma Constitution as a
geological garden Of cranks," a
smile comes involuntarily with the
recollection Of the Overwhelming
negative which the people there gave
to his recommendation two years ago
that they postpone statehood by re-
jectine that Constitution. Republic.

Wants to Give 81, 900, 900.

Albany, N. Y, Oct. 18.-There's a
man in New York City who wants to
give 81, 900, 600 to charity. His name
is withheld. So is the name of his
lawyer, who wrote to the State De-
partment of Charities asking just
where and how this million might be
best bestowed. The man with the
million to give away says he wants to
donate it to a charitable institution in
New York State or in New Jersey.
He has no preference.
Secretary Hill Of the Department Of
Charities, said that he had answered
the lawyers letter. He pointed out
carefully how any one or all of the
charitable institutions of this state
would be grateful for this gift.
Secretary Hill urged the lawyer to
communicate with the president of
of the State Board of Charities, Will
liam R. Stuart, who is ready to ex-
plain to the philanthropist how he
can most expediently contribute his
money. Secretary Hill said nothing
in his letter about New Jersey.

PoHteness.

Thomas L. Assson in October LipplncOtt's.
Politeness consists in concealing
from other people the fact that they
annoy you,-
If a man springs up from his seat
in a crowded car to give it to wo-
man. that is politeness. fhe permits
his wife to drag a chair from one
room into the other, while he is
smoking and reading the evening pa
per, that is innocent absorption.
II pays to be polite-when it does't
cost anything.
Politeness originated in the garden
of Eden, when Adam fell merely to
oblige Eve. (And yet they say that
man is selfishD
We should always be polite to our
inferiors-in the presence of our SUI
periors. Nothing is more effective.
The man who is truly polite never
forgets himself. Such man, if he is
obliged to kick another man down
stairs, will always see that his hat is
sent out to him.
Children are naturally impolite, I'M
til they are taught that they cannot
hope to make much money without.
Always be polite when you are
borrowing money from friend. Re-
member that it doesn't cost anything
to give him the impression that you
are going to pay him back.
There are two kinds of politenessi
politeness to yourself and politeness
to others.
When you come home late at night
for example, even if you are very
tired, always remove your hat anc
coat before getting into bed. It is lit
tie attentions like this that constitute
you a gentleman. At the same time
do not disturb your wife if you car
possibly avoid it. 1t is height O.
rudeness to awaken sleeping lady.
The polite man is always welcome
everywhere. That is, almost every
where-except at bargain counter
a fire or a financial panic.
Then he is de trop.

One Man IsOIates Elgin, Ill.

Elgin, ILL.,, Oct. IA. N. Stone,
an elderly and wealthy dentist. arm
ed with a pair Of rubber gloves and
tinsmith's shears, cut Elgin off from
telegraphic communication with the
outside world and for an hour stopped
street cars, motors, lights and every
thing else run by electric power in
the city.
Telegraph companies desired to
string their lines over Doctor Stones
building and asked permission to
erect pole on his roof. This was
refused. Doctor Stone went to Europe
and the first thing he saw when he
returned was new pole on the top
of his building and twenty-four wires
strung on it.
He assembled to the roof, climbed
the pole and cut the wires. Some fell
across the trolly wires and others
across the feed wires which supply
the city with electrical power.
There was a brief electrical display
and wrecking crews were ordered
out. The dentist hurled defiance al
policemen while he finished his work.
Descending he was about to cut down
the pole also when the managers Of
the telegraph companies effected q
temporary truce.

Ananias Club A Boomerang.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Oct. ia
question Of veracity between Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt and Congress-
man Tawney, chairman Of the APP
preparations Committee, is before the
Minnesota Supreme Court as a result
tbf an appeal hearing on libel suit
brought by Congressman Tawney
against The Albert Leo Tribune.
A novel part Of the plea made by
Tawney's attorneys is the repeated
reference to a decision by court in
Massachusetts,, which held that if the
President, in message to Congress,
Iorelsewhere, made a statement that
was not true, he could not be sued
for libel; but any newspaper publish
ing that statement could be sued.
The plaintiff asserted the President
was misinformed in one Of his mes
sages to Congress, which was the
basis for the alleged libelous article
Attorneys for the defendants took the
position that the article was true;
that it was privileged; and that, ever
if it was not accurate. it was not g
libel.
While the charge to which Tawney
objects is a serious one; that he is 9
''falsifier of public records" the
real question at issue is the relative
veracity Of the two men.
1t is up to the Supreme Court O
Minnesota to decide whether Tawney
shall be elected to the Ananias Club
or whether former President Roose
welt shall receive honorary member
ship in his own pet organization.

Gold Found Near Mena, Ark.

Mena, Ark, Oct. 18.-Prospectors
who have been at work sinking a
shaft on the gold mining claims loca-
ted at Acorn, near here, report going
through the cap rock and the discov-
cry Of good sulphide ore, with free
gold in paying quantity. The vein is
about four feet wide where the shaft
crosses. A force of men are at work
putting the shaft down and it is the
intention of the prospectors to put in
machinery at once. Something like
thirty claims are located in that vicin-
ity. Gold has heretofore been found
in many parts Of the Ozark Noun
tains, but never in paying quantity,
and never before in a body Of rock
like this.
