"When the politicians of the now
sovereign state Of Oklahoma want
something done that Is really worth
the effort" says the Woman's Home
Companion for October, "they al
ways make a trip to Guthrie, the
capital city, and present themselves
at a little office on the top floor Of
the Senate building. There they
shake hands with a graceful little
dark-haired young woman. on whose
door is the legend, Commissioner of
Charities. This ID Miss Kate Bar
nard, Familiarity known as Kate
She is to Oklahoma what Jane Ad-
dams is to Chicago, its First Citizen.
The politicians see Kate first, and
the governor and the other state
officials afterward. Through her
little office there pours a steady
stream Of people all day long, people
whom she has met Or people who
want to meet her. Kate is. and
has been for several years, ons or
the controlling spirits of Oklahoma.
This Nebraska girl of Southern par
entage began her interest in Okla
homa by winning against three hun
dred and fifty competitors the posi-
ton Of manager in charge of the
exhibit made by Oklahoma (then a.
territory at the st. Louis Fair.
Then she started a charity organiza-
ton with the object of finding m
ployment for the stranded people on
the n~ewly-opened lands and the
newly-built cities OF the territory.
She soon became almost the patron
saint of the human driftwood of the
city slums. These moral derelicts
all ebeyed her implicitly on election
day. Where r you going, boys?'
she would ask a group of toughs In
tow OF a saloon-keeper. Then she
would remind these human wrecks
that she had sent Jacks little daugh-
ter to school, had nursed Bits wife
through typhoid fever and had found
q suit OF clothes for Jim's boy,
Further, abe would tell these out
casts that they must vote against
the saloon candidate and for the
decent man who was a friend of
hers. Then, while the saIoon-keeper
looked on helplessly, the boys would
follow Kate to the baliot-boX.
When the State Department OF
Charities was established, she re-
cefved q majority OF hfty-stx thou
sand votes for the position of Com
missioner. Shs Is now ESQ run the

King Edwards Eccentric Courier.
King Edwards courier had tasted
SO many different forms Of cooking
and such q variety Of wines that, in
the end, he acquired a stomach of
brass and a palate Of zinc, and cared
for hardly anything but brandy; he
drank It often and gladly, and 1t
affected him only with an amiable
gaiety. I remember, n evening at
B~iarritz. the King sent for NJ. Fehr
to give him some instructions, and
was struck By his unusual melan-
choly and by hts loquacity.

"No, sir!" replied the courier.

ALMANAC FOR THE WEEK.

The Frivolous Race.
She's not a BIT athletic
She cannot swim or row,
While bunkers, tees and things like
these
At golf she doesn't know.
OF tennis-courts she has no thoughts,
It tires her to bowl;
She never tried a horse to ride,
Nor in a punt to pole.
She'd rather take a trolley
Than walk a block or two;
To talk and tat, and things like that,
Are quite the most she'll do.
And yet she won a Marathon,
Yes. really, for, you see.
She ran twenty miles-of ribbon

How Mrs. Clarence Mackay Started
the Ennal franchise Society.

the Equal Franchise Society.
Mrs. Mackay and Mrs. Belmont"
says Anna Steese Richardson in
Woman's Home Companion for
October, have that which the
women who brought the suffrage
movement into existence lacked, the
tremendous power Of wealth and the
prestige Of that social position which
wealth commands. The story of
their adoption OF the anemfc child
is not without dramatic incident.
Mrs. Mackay has always been a
striking figure. Armed with the
Maekay millions, a clever wit, con-
siderable originality, remarkable ex-
ecutive ability and a capacity for
work which would put many a self
supporting woman to shame, she
could wage any -Ight of her choos-
ing.
She started with the schools of
Roslyn, smuggling at the foot of
Harbor Hill, the magnificent Mackay
estate on Long Island. Those
schools were within a few hours of
New York, but they were ten years
behind the times. Mrs, Mackay had
herself elected to the school board.
There a. little money at the COM
mand of the board, but that did not
bother her. When funds were lack
ing, she wrote out a check. Lucky
children of Roslyn, Long Island!
They soon had better schools than
city children and a fairy godmother
who scattered prize-money worth
winning.
"But In time Mrs, Mackay found
that things were needed which
checks could not buy, conditions
existed which even money could not
alter. Then she went up to Albany
and talked public-school conditions
with the commissioner Of education
and the governor. She came back
to New York City and harried mem
bers of the board of education with
her very inconvenfent and often IN
a~nswerable questions. She went to
London and studied the suffrage
movement In its militant phase.
Then she returned to New York and
organized such a society as she
thought would best advance the in
terests OF equal suffrage in the
United States"

Jursr in New York Murder
Trial Wanted $500 for tho
Job.
CLAIMS TO HAVE HUNG
NAN PATTERSON JURY
George Yeandle Offers His Vote as
Juror in Case OF E. ROsenhomer
on Trial for Murder-Both he and
His Agent Placed Under Arrest and
Now In Tombs-Police Assert
Yeandle Hung Nan Patterson Jury.
Jeandle Is Discharged.

New York, N. Y, Nov. 1.-Geo.
Yeandle, architect and juror in the
case Of Edward Rosenhomer, mill
lionaire, was arrested today charged
with having offered to hang the jury
for $500. Rosenhomer Is being tried
for murder in the first degree for
running down and killing Grace Hough
in an automobile last August. A
man named Timonsoffer, builder,
was also arrested. 1t is alleged he is
representing Yeandle and made the
offer to Rosenhomer's attorney who
informed the court. The police assert
that Timonsoffer said Yeandle hung
the Nan Patterson jury a few years
ago for $500. Probably a new jury
will be selected.
In default OF $4,000 bail, Yeandle
and Timonsoffer were remanded tc
the Tombs for examination Thursday
This revelation will probably cause ar
investigation of the Nan Patterson
trial which once excited national in
terest. Marked bills given Yeandls
were found in his pockets.
Following Yeandle's arrest, he wal
excused from the jury and another
juror selected and case went to trial

WILL DECIDE JUSTICE
OF ELECTRIC DEPOSITS

Albany, N. Y, Nov. 1.-Rules and
regulations proposed to be adopted to
govern the practice OF gas and cleo
trio companies in exacting a deposit
from the consumer as security for the
payment of bills will be taken UP at a
hearing opened today by the Public
Service Commission. A uniform form
of receipts for such deposits will prob
ably be adopted and the companies
will be required to pay interest at the
rate of per cent. on all such deposits.
1t is estimated that New York gas
and electric companies now have in
their possession upwards Of 100000,
exacted as deposits from the public
and many of the companies have paid
no interest. The gas companies re-
fuse to return deposits unless certain
conditions are adhered to by the con-
sumner and the receipt originally CIV
en- for the money is returned. 1t Is
alleged that through the loss of re-
ceipts and in other ways the compan-
les are able in a great number of in
stances to keep both principal and
interest of the deposits.

Town Senator Smith Treats of New
Feature in Campaign-Afaloney and

An enthusiastic audience of so
people turned out at Stanfield last
evening to greet Senator c. J. Smith
and other democratic candidates. So
good was the turnout that the mem
bers OF the party were highly graft
fled over their treatment In the en-
terprising west end town
In his address last evening Senator
Smith took up his opponents atti-
tude towards statement No. when he
was in attendance at the woolgrowers
convention in Heppner two years ago.
In a clearcut and dignified maner the
doctor called attetion to the address
delivered by Mr.. Burgess at that time
and which was published in part by
the East Oregonian last evening. His
hearers showed plainly they were i'm
pressed by this feature Of the sena-
torial campaign. They resent the idea
that Burgess wanted to get statement
No. 1 men to break their pledges.
Other speakers last evening were
J. w. Maloney, candidate for county
judge, ]. B. Saylor candidate fol
commissioner, T. J. Tweedy, candi.
date for treasurer and DR.. Monk
man, candidate for coroner. Messrs
Maloney and Saylor were especially
well greeted. The latter is popular
in the entire west end country because
of his former residence in that Sec
ton and because he is universally re-
garded as a clean and capable bust
ness man.
The democratic candidates will be
at Athena this evening.

DOE! WEST BELIEVE
TAFT A GREAT Man?

New York, N. Y, Nov. 1.-The west
Is beginning to believe that Taft is
among the greatest presidents we
have had, according to Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson, who arrived to-
day to begin a campaign for Stimson
for governor. Wilson said he had
been through the pllddle west and
candidly believes the republicans will
return their congressional represen-
tatives. He said Iowa, Kansas and
Minnesota will return solid delega-
tions. IF the next congress is DEM
ocratic," said Wilson, at will be be-
cause the republicans have lost In
the east. AS far as can see there
is no need Of reorganization of the re-
publican party. Taft is making a
good president and he VIII get Sec
ond term. I can say the west is be-
ginning to appreciate Taft who is one
OF our greatest presidents.'

New York, Nov. lone hundred
thousand teamsters, chauffeurs, and
helpers, may be called upon to strike
in New York city and a NATIONAL
strike of express drivers is threaten
ed as a result of the strike of drivers
and helpers in New York and Jersey
City. The executive committee of the
International Brotherhood of Team
sters will meet today to decide
whether to call a sympathetic strike
In New York. 1t is generally believed
the council intends to aid the strik-
ers. In the meantime, a new monthly
wage scale for drivers in the principal
cities of this country, is being pre-
pared by the international union and
later this scale will be demanded.
Platform men of the express compan-
les struck today. The companies are
trying to find more strike breakers.
A committee of striking drivers to-
day told Health Commissioner Te-
derle that 10000 cars Of perishable
goods will be allowed to be unloaded
and distributed among consumers.
The committee also called upon the
mayor and protested against the em-
ployment of guards on wagons driven
by strike breakers. Big crowds stood
near the express depots and teered
non-union workers but did not offer
violence, owing to the presence OF the
police.
