BRYAN'S HOME COMING
WANTS NO DEMONSTRATION WHEN
HE LANDS IN NEW YORK.
Is Sincere in the Matter and His Wisies
Will Be Regarded by His Friends.

Hot Springs, Ark.-Wiliam Jennings
Bryan, writing from Buenos Ayres to
Chairman Norman Il. Mack of the ma
tional Democratic committee, urges that
no demonstration of any sort be made
over his arrival in New York. "Anything
of that sort would be misconstrued and
misintcrpreted," is the language of Mr..
Bryan. The letter was dated February
2S, more than five weeks ago, and has
been delayed in transmission, besides
having to be forwarded after reaching
this country. Mr.. Bryan states i'll the
letter that the matter had just been
brought to his attention in the Bucnos
Ayres press, that there were being made
in New York arrangements for Il recep-
tion for the distinguished Nebraskan.
Il prefer to arrive and 90 Immediately
West to my home," is another quotation
permitted from personal letter, written
to Mr.. Mack as personal friend of MIR.
Bryan. Mr. Mack stated in connection
with the letter that it was request that
should be regarded, as Mr.. Bryan was
sincere in the matter, and had made him
self as plain as necessary in the quota
tion that 'anything of that sort will be
misconstrued or misinterpreted.'

AMBASSADOR TO WORLD.
Rev. DR.. Macarthur Selects New Post fol

New York.-"I nominate Theodore
Roosevelt for ambassador extraordinary
to all the courts of the world i'll the
interests of universal and perpetual
peace" said the Rev. DR.. r. S. Mac
Arthur Sunday to his current events
class in Calvary Baptist church. His
proposal WAS applauded. DR.. MacAr-
thur was discussing What shall we do
with Col. Roosevelt p
mo more exalted mission can be
named for any man i'll the world today
DR.. Macarthur continued. The time is
coming when the nations shall learn to
war no more. Here we have a notable
sphere of the varied talents, remarkable
skill and wide experience of Col. Roose-
yelt He has the ear of the civilized
world in places high and low as no other
man ever had. To him doors of palaces
and cabinets will readily open. Listening
ears i'll palaces and novels await his

HASKELL TALKS PROHIBITION
Government Can Interfere with Individ
ual Rights.

Atlanta, Ga.-"As a soldier is COM
PEELED to swear allegiance to his country
before he is allowed to fight her bat
ties, so should candidate be made to
swear allegiance to position of author
ity,' declared Gov. Charles n. Haskell
of Oklahoma in an address before the
convention of the Southern Anti-Sa-
loon League here. Gov. Haskell was
urging the election of only anti-liquor
candidates to office.
Discussing the right of the government
to prohibit the sale of intoXicants, Gov.
Haskell said:
"Anti-prohibtionists argue that prohi-
bition hinders the private rights of citi-
zens. This is undoubtedly true, but the
government has right to do this. Sell
ing of poisons is prohibited by law. A
man who buys carbolic acid is buying it
with his own money, and if he wishes to
drink it, it is purely IL personal matter,
but the law denies him the right

NEW OIL co. BUYS WELLS
Holland Concern Spends $5,oOO,oO0 in
Oklahoma.

Bartletsville, Okla.-Georgc C. Priest
ley, of Bartletsvillc, who executed the
transaction by which Eastern capitalists
recently secured options on the holding
OF about twenty Oklahoma oil compa-
nies for Il Holland syndicate, received q
message from New York stating that
the contracts had been signed and the
deal fully consummated. The transac-
tion involves over $5,000,000 and some
of the best oil lands in the state. The
purchasing syndicate announces that a
pipe line to the gulf will be constructed
soon. This, if true, gives denial TO the
current report here that the .andard
Oil Company was making the purchase.
1t is believed that the transfer will in
crease the price of oil, and independent
operators expect a new and far-advanced
era in oil and gas development in Okla
homa.

Railway Costs Ss,eOO,o0o a Mile,

New York.-The Pennsylvania railroad
opened to public inspection for the first
time today 16.5 miles of the most ex.
pensive construction work, foot for foot,
ever attempted-namely, its tunnel and
terminal improvements from Harrison,
n. j., to Sunnyside, Long Island. The
average cost of mile of steam railroad
is about $4,000; the cost per mile of
the tunnel and terminal improvement
has been more than $9,6o0,0oo. The
company has thus far expended S1O2,.
100000 and will spend $160,ooo,ooo be.
fore the improvement is completed.
The Neshoba Democrat., 1910-04-07
More Funds Necessary.

The total cost for the extended session
OF the legislature will be about $11O, 900,
according to estimates, and the contin-
gent fund committee will have to intro.
duce bill asking for further appro-
priation of about 100000 to defray the
expenses of the session. The first bill
called for $4,000, but this has long since
been paid out, and the expenses up to
and including Saturday, which would
have ended the session, except for the ex-
tension Of fourteen days granted by the
governor, has cost the state, including
mileage and per diem, about $4,000.
