MADE A THREAT TO
GOVERNOR HASKELL
Oklahoma Executive an Adju-
tant General Clash.

Interference of friends prevented a
clash between Governor c. N. Haskell
and Adjutant General Canton of the
Oklahoma national guard at Guthrie.
A revolver was taken from General
Canton, but witnesses of the encounter
say he did not draw it on the governor.
At the request of friends of Haskell q
police officer is on guard near his
apartments in the Royal hotel. Chief
of Police Mitchell says he will swear
out warrant for General Canton.
Trouble between the governor and
the adjutant general resulted from the
Republican committee meeting feld
here. The First regiment band had
been engaged to provide music for the
opening of Congressman McGuires
campaign General Canton gave an
order that the band should net apre2i
in military uniform and forbade the
use of the regiments instruments. The
band was playing when it received the
order. The members discarded their
uniforms, got other instruments and
reappeared on the streets.
WHEN I1dEhcIl . dLtSiitlOu WdS EolAS@o
to the band incident he sent to Con
gresham Mcclure letter of apOleGy,
and in it declared that the order did
not meet with his approval.
General Canton sought Governor
Haskell, witnesses declare, at his
apartments in the Royal hotel. Wit
nesses testify to the violence of Can
tons language, but declare he did not
draw his automatic revolver. With
emphatic gestures he is declared tc
have said:
81 want you to understand that you
cannot cCantermand my orders; and if
you do you will pay for it,"
]. NJ. BrOChs, proprietor Of the Roy
al, and others rushed to the scene. Mr.
Brooks took General Canton's revolver
from him and escorted the officer TO
his rooms.

CONGER QUITS UNDER FIRE
Senator Who Prosecuted Aids and
Convicted Him, Resigns Seat.

Senator Bonn Conger Unexpectedly
interrupted the proceedings of the
New York senate to announce his res
ignation. After explaining his reasons,
he left the senate chamber and at
once filed his resignation with Secre-
tary of State Koenig.
The day the senate found Aids
guilty of the Conger charge, Majority
Leader Cobb presented a resolution
providing for the appointment of a
committee to frame charges based on
the evidence in the Aids trial upon
which the senate could expel Senator
Benn Conger.

THE SITUATION IN NEW YORK.

All political eyes throughout the
country appear to be focused on the
campaign that is being conducted in
New York state this fall. Discussions
are many and varied as to what its
outcome is going to be. Colonel Roose-
welt, who is leading the Republican
phalanx, thinks he and his friends are
going to win. There is, if anything, a
greater degree OF assurance among the
Democratic leaders that they will be
successful in placing their candidate,
Mr.. Dix in the gubernatorial chair.
In much of the discussion that is go
ing on as to the probable outcome of
this contest, not much attention seems
to be paid to the part in it that will
be played by Mr.. Hearst and his In
dependence League. which has a full
ticket in the field. And this part will
certainly prove not to be an inconsid-
cradle one.
To win a victory in New York state,
it has been necessary for the Demo
Gratis to go ''up to the Harlem river, -
as the saying goes there, OF outside OF
the larger portion of what is now
Greater New York. with a majority OF
more than 100000. Mr.. Hearst's hide
pendence League is not particularly
strong outside of the greater city. In
deed, its following up the state" is
| rather meager. But in New York city
it has following, and, for the most
part. it is comprised of men who ordi-
narily vote the Democratic ticket wheI
the Hearst forces are not in the field
If the Hearst ticket polls $4,000 or 30.00t
votes in New York city, it will practi
cally mean that the Democrats viii
have their majority cut down just tina
much in that locality. That will tak'

THE STATE FAIR BONDS.

An impression seems to prevail with
some people in Shawnee county that If
the state fair bonds carry on election
day the $4,000 that will be derived
for them will be turned over at. once
and in a lump sum to the directors of
the state fair for them to use in any
way they see fit for the development of
the fair. There is no ground for such
an impression. It is as far from the
fact as it possibly can be.
The money raised by these bonds
will be spent under the direction of
the Shawnee county commissioners. 1t
can only be used by them for putting
permanent improvements on the
grounds. Undoubtedly the officials of
the state fair will have suggestions to
make to the county commissioners as
to what kind of buildings are needed,
as to where substantial roadways on
the grounds can be placed to the best
advantage. and such other improve
ments as their experience in the con-
duct of the last fair has led them to
believe will be most desirable. And
1t is quite likely that the county com
missioners will give careful attention
to such suggestions.
But not cent of this $4,000 will
rectors. They will not have the spend
ing of a penny of it for advertising the
fair or assuring the payment of pre-
miums, or for anything of that sort.
AS stated. this money will be spent on
the improvement of the fair grounds
by the county commissioners. These
commissioners hold office by virtue of
the suffrage of the voters of Shawnee
county. They have gel orally displayed
prudence and care in the handling of
the county funds. They can be de-
pended upon to see to it that this $780,
900. If voted, will be disposed of with
discernment and discretion.
To build up the fair. to develop all
of its possibilities of becoming one of
the great agricultural expositions of
the country, improvements must be
made on the grounds. New and ade-
quate buildings must be put up. The
grounds need to be beautified and
made more serviceable with roadways
and walks. The $4,000 that the peo-
pie of Shawnee county are being asked
to vote for the fair are to be used for
these purposes. And this money will
be expended under the direction of the
county commissioners. There is no
need for fear of any of it being fritz
tered away by the directors or officers
of the state fair. They won't have the
opportunity to do so in the first place.
And in the next place they probably
would not have a mind to do so if
they had the opportunity. They GER
tainly used the money subscribed for
the fair year ago by Topekans to the
best possible advantage.

Singer With Two Voices.

the Milan conservatory, who is maxim e
his first American tour this season, has
a most remarka BILE throat. The young
man sings a rerfect soprano and a per-

ropolis are rhapsodizing him. Indeed.
the skeptical are inclined to believe that
some imposition is being practiced upon
them in the way of a singer behind the
scenes. They cannot realize that 1t is

notes to come from the same throat
that sings the deep-chested, round
resonant baritone.

The Art of Smuggling.

| Smuggling. even in the old days of
Grass methods, was not without its
feminine opponents. Those two pirates
of the Spanish main, Anne Bonny and
Mary Read, who, attired as men, scut-
| tied the treasure ships of the eight
| zenith century, were used, in the dun
| intervals of trade, to turn their atten-
| ton to running the coast guards and
engaging the customs officers of vari-
| Gus nations in a lively chase or sud-
| den brush. Their mode of action was.
{ by no means, subtitle. 1t comprised
perilous midnight landings, dark, ven
turous rides across country, and the
haunting of secret caves along shore.
1t included alterations by sword and
pistol, and hanging at last when the
game was up. "a good end" said Anne
! Bonny the day she was sentenced,
'since the fear of it alone keeps cow
ards at home and leaves the high seas
open to folk of courage"
But the death of the sailing ship has
brought many a good trade down i'll
the world. Our smugglers are 40
longer pirates; they are simply women
of wealth and leisure. They no longer
scuttle ships W way of an arduous
livelihood; they journey comfortably
about in them in commodious cabins
de luxe betwixt ports, where are to be
found the purveyors of purp'a and fine
linen. Their landings are made by day
light amid the perils Of customs house
officers and reporters. Their efforts
are unaided by sword or pistol, but are
executed by the use of blue straw
turbans with convenient crowns, false
bottomed trunks. or doubled lingerie
and by means of many false oaths and
swearings. And the end? The end is
not yet certain enough to deter the
many who are ready to take a chance
What shall we do with our women
smugglers?
In these days of so many sorts Of
conservation. it seems a pity not to
conserve human energies. Surely So
much ingenuity, nerve. and resource
must not be allowed to waste itself be-
hind prison bars. or to fade out in the
discou-a ging home atmosphere that
may be supposed to follow the pay
ment of a heavy fine. Cannot such tall
ent be diverted to the good of the COM
munity and to the protection of the
state itself? Why not draft the female
| smus gler for term of years into the
government secret service.
Daily upon our city piers there is ex-
hibfted by our unframed millionairesses
a GOODNESS of nerve, power Of plausi-
| Bile invention, an alacrity Of resource.
| an insistence, in the face of evidence
almost heroic. With proper training
/ to what heights of duplicity could not
such natural qualities attain? Were
| the hidden matter papers, with the fate
/ of the nation written large upon them

IIANDEAII.


In what far haven shall the landfan be
When the long voyage hath wearted to
it's end?
In what dim harbor from the homeless
sea
Shall the torn sail descend?
What blessed land of visionary light,
Bringing its meadows to the ocean
breast,
Luring us still towards the infinite,
Or GROWING us with rest?
Shall the spent vessel softly glide to
reach
The anchorage of its kindly sheltering
Or dashed by ruthless waves upon the
beach
In mad Titanic sport?
There shall the heart rejoice at Journey
ings done,
Or throb with energies that cannot
tire?
Shall that far vision of the setting sun
Be a fulfilled desire?
Shall there be lilies, peoples for my sleep,
Draughts of content to allay thirsty
pain?
And, like a child refreshed from slum-
behring's deep,
Shall 1 awake again?
In what far haven shall 1.-The landfan be?---
The stars are hid, the soundings tell
no tale.
Across the mystery of the sundering sea
There comes no word of hail.
