SUNDAY, JANUARY IT. 1909.
ANOTHER CRANK.

( Is 1t not little strange that 50 many cranks get into our legislatVe bodies? men whc have an idea that all ills and sins of humanity can be 4 rarulated or abolished by law. Every A,asssmbly of lawmakers has. one or more of these moonshine statesmen as we all knew. Alabama has not been free from them, as our lawbooks ! show; the 24-inch pistol law is a fine example of Iawmaking-shall we call . it idiocy? We'll, at all events laws { are enacted that require a stretch Of imagination to think they were adopt ed by men of good hard sense. The one to which we refer is not the only act passed by Alabama legislators that appear to have been incubated and matched in a lunatic asylum.
 One of the latest attempts at freak Legislation ccmes to us from Nebras- ka. While 1t is true that we need not to be surprised at any evidence of freakishness from that region, this one is very near the limit. The mem Der who introduced 1t is named Sink, though we think Crank would be more appropriate-but let that pass. He proposes that the State of Nebraska shall provide for a commission of ex- perts who shall, at least once each year. inspect all the beds in all the hotels in the State, and guaranteeing to each guest in a Nebraska hotel clean towel, clean sheets and clean pillow cases.
 The Brooklyn Eagle is disposed to grow sarcastic over the matter, for that paper, it must be remembered, never loses an opportunity to knock at MT. Bryan, his State and his sup porters. "Manifestly," says The Ea- gle "the need of such reform was a lot greater in Nebraska a year age than it is now. To statesmen all over the country who journeyed to the now obsolete and discredited Mecca of Lin ' coin, there is a subtle satire in thus locking the stable door toe late. Why
 
 should mere commercial travellers of tomorrow have protection that was not afforded to the high lights of Democracy yesterday? That is question that will force itself on the minds of nation-savers. one or two. at least in every State and in some of the territories
 And yet that is wise saying, Better late than never A State com mission for the inspection of hotel beds will have it's uses. Patriots will be found in Nebraska who will be ready to face the guying of their fel- low citizens with entire equanimity, if the salaries provided are sufficient The average Nebraska taxpayer, a man of strictly domestic tendencies. is mot worried much about hotel beds. He will confine his activities to pay ing the bills which the creation of the commission will entail"
 Of course, if The Eagle chooses to take advantage of legislative crank in Nebraska to indulge in ridicule of MT Bryan and those who supported him that is its own affair Being a free ami independent newspaper it is at liberty to say what it chooses with in legitimate bounds but it might have devoted it's 5hrcasm to MT, Sink and let other Nebraskans alone; un- less, of course others join the Sink brand of lawmakers And, he we feel bound tc say, stops entirely top short. Why not also provide that all hotel tables shall be inspected. and due pro-

Women Before The Pope.

: Most people know that 1t Is etiquette at the pa pal court for women, what ever their rank. to appear In black. but few know that an exception to thls rule is made for the pope's sisters and nieces. all of whom are privileged to wear white at the audiences and church ceremonies. but the old ladies do not avail themselves of the relaxa- tion of an ordinarily rigid regulation. though the niece makes a point Of wearing white when attending papal dress being white as snow.
 Another little known point Of papal etiquette is that women who come ta the public or private audiences must keep the right hand uncovered; m deed it Is even correct for both hands 10 be unEloved.

A SMALL MATTER.

This from The New Bedford Stand ard:
 Because the Brooklyn New England Society at its annual dinner has and has Substituted toast to !The Sovereign People" sundry persons. not of the society. have been much offended and have expressed their dis arY not to say discourteous language. Why anybody should be worried or angered over so little a thing as that passes our compreh ension. We had always supposed that when a company of friends met together they were privileged to drink such tOasts and to omit such toasts as they pleased. and their own affair. not that of other people Moreover, whatever the New may not do its critics are under no compulsion to follow it's example. i They can drink toasts to The Presi- dent" or, for that matter. to any try every day of their lives If they are so minded Nobody with a sense of reason could lind it fin his heart to be t0uchy with them because they of honor. That would be their af- fair. precisely as it is the affair of whether 1t drinks tOasts 10 The Pres ldent" or to "The sovereign People" We have wondered in vain why there should have been so much con troversy and bitterness over such a trivial matter. That the public al large should be expected to take cognizance of the fact that social club, at one or all of its meetings should refuse or neglect to drink a toast to the President. and that the

 A youth in Trenton. whose devotion to the young woman of his choice has encountered many obstacles during his long courtship. recently sought her out with this apparently encouraging statement:
 T think it's all right now, Alice. managed to get access to your father the other day and while he wouldn't exactly give his consent I rather ina zine I've made some headway. He Borrowed $40 of me Surely he can't stand me or much longer after that"
 The young woman sighed. "Yes, I've heard about it, she said, and I think you've made an awful mess of It. Fa- ther mentioned the $40 and remarked that I'd better give you up-you were too easy.

Light May Blind Fish.

NeW Ofk tTtsS
 The possibility that all fish of the deep water classes in the Battery Aquarium may lose their sight if the policy of keeping that institution open until 10 o'clock at night on certain days of the week is continued has aroused much discussion among stu. dents of ichthyology in the last few days. The chief question discussed Is whether the fishes can endure on their unlidded eyes for more than six hours of the twenty-four, strong rays of ar tifcial. unshaded light. It Is asserted by experts that even though the brillianry may have no immediate effect, 1t will eventually cause blindness in such fish as the sturgeon, which in it's natural haunts remains many feet below the surface.

This section. in other words. requires for uncheeked prosperity that a large part of the se- ven and a half billion. more or less. be spent here. But how are Southern railroads to get their proper share if their credit impaired by continued at tack from lawmakers. is weak or in- different? It seems to us that some thinking along these lines might be of great benefit to the whole Southern section.

FIRST MONDAY TOMORROW
tR]MIs IS RECORD CROWD
SOUTHERN OKLA. STATE FAIR
ANNOUNCEMENT HAS STIRRED
UP THE FARMERS.

with the date announced for IN
.rst Southern Oklahoma state Fair
at ArdmorC beginning October 9th
and lasting nine days, there is big
preparations making for First Mon.
days between now and then and
that date among the farmers OF this
and adjoining counties ON account Of
the fact that some OF the exhibits
shown will be reserved for the fair.
Tommorrow is first Monday in
June and promises to be the big.
gcst and best yet held here. There
are several reasons for this and
the chicfcst Is that this Is going tO
be bumper crop year and the
second is that at this season OF the
year the farmers and their wives
have their crops. poultry and dairy
products far enough along 50 that
they may make Crcditablo and pre-.
tentious exhibits and that they are
going to- do this is known from the In
torest that has been taken I'm Il.
and which has been justified by
the largest and best premium lis;
ever offered. \ comparison of the
list offered by Ardmorc merchant &
and stock dealers with that of other
towns i'm this section show that Ard.
moro's list Is about twice as long
and about three times as big from
monetary value. This is OF course
attractive 10 those who are In the
habit of bringing in their stuff and
incites others who have never com
peted to bring theirs also.
Another fact that is giving n biz
boost TO first Monday in A-dmore
is that here the farmers have been
able 10 find ready mraket where
they may dispose of all such prod
ucts as they may desire to sell. and
at fancy prices at that. The mark I
price here being way above tn,
prices paid for the same products
and stock at other places The fact
Of the matter is that heretofore tn,
supply OF stuff of all kinds offere,
has not been able 10 supply tn,
demand
In addition to the exhibits Of liv,
stock, fruits, vegetables. farm prod
ucts. dairy and poultry products
there will be series OF matine,
races. bigger and better than tn.
ones given last first Monday and IL
which there are a larger number o
entries. Farmers who have speedy
animals have found out that they
are able to compete with local own
ers to good advantage and are get
ting into the game Some gooC
horses are being prepared FOR IN
fall fair also.
The exhibit and races will b,
held at the fair grounds tomorrow
and all are invited to see the dis
plays and TO witness some of tn,
