Washington, D. c., Dec. 7.-Repre-
sentative Richard Bartholdt of st.
Louis, one of the speakers at the un-
yelling of the monument to Baron Won
Steuben here today, spoke of Won
Steuben as a man of master mind
in meeting the requirements Of organ
ization, fundamental tactics and
strategy. He related the circumstances
under which Won Steuben came to this
country to assist Washington in the
revolution, at the solicitation of Ben
jamin Franklin, whom he met in Paris.
Finding the American army in a pitia-
BILE condition, largely on account of
lack of organization, Mr.. Bartholdt
said, he performed an inestimable serv-
ice to this country by reorganizing it's
lighting forces.
His services" Mr.. Bartholdt con-
tinued, were from beginning to end
acts of personal remuneration and only
the satisfaction of duty well perform
ed, the growing prospects of final sue
cess, and probably the conviction that
it would be difficult for others to fill
his particular place, could inspire the
loyalty and cheerfulness of his work
With him selfish consideration were
ever pushed into the back ground by
J his regard for the public welfare and
the sacredness of the cause. His life
proved to be true what he wrote tC

ance of developing and maintaining
state parks, as recreation centers for
the people of the several common
wealths. A few of the states, notably
New York, Wisconsin, California and
Michigan, have undertaken definite eff
fort in this direction. All of the
states will be urged to do likewise.
The sessions of an entire day will
be devoted to city planning, with ad
dresses and discussions designed to
afford first aid" to those cities seek

A HlNT TO OKLAHOMA.

The demand for a more substantial
from Oklahoma City than its
promise of a new capitol building to be
erected without cost to the state, in
the event that the city is awarded the
state capital, Is in line with the sound
business sense that should govern
state legislature in such an important
matter. The bill passed by the lower
house under strong political pressure
left the question of the erection of a
state building to the fortunes Of a lot
terry in suburban real estate, queer
proposition for a rich, progressive
young state like oklahoma. 1t is a
speciment of wild cat" legislation that
does not belong to the present day
order.
II is said that the real estate lottery
bill was passed by the lower house by
reason of the support it gained from
the localities interested in other state
institutions. The welfare and the per-
manency by these institutions were
threatened by those interested in the
capital location. That is an old trick
in the legislative game and it should
suggest to the people of the new state
a policy regarding the location of all
its state institutions that would pre-
vent their utilization hereafter in in
fluencing state legislation. Every state
has had experience with the combina-
tions that are affected in legislatures
by the members who have state insti-
tutions to protect and Oklahoma is In
a position to avoid that experience by
locating such institutions as it finds
necessary to establish from time to
time in the city where it locates its
state capital,
State institutions scattered through
out the state make it possible for poll
tioians to play one against another In
securing legislation of general char
acter. or in defeating legislation thai

The death of Mrs. Mary Baker Clio
yer Patterson Eddy removes from
this country one of it's most interesting
and picturesque personalities. Prob
ably no other woman who ever lived in
America has been the subject of more
adulation or more bitter
denunciation. The newspapers and
preachers have been letting her alone
for a while past, but her death will
probably reopen the question whether
she was saint or hypocrite, genius or
charlatan. Probably the final verdict
will be that she was a mixture of the
whole four AS a philosophical thinker
she was a joke. but she did succeed
in founding a religion which has some
startling achievements to its credit.
Thousands of people testify that in
her teachings they have found the
secret of health. and hundreds of thou
sands have found the secret of hap
piness. And the world has so few of
which this can be said, that it is not
wise to speak scornfully or bitterly OF
any of them.

The Chieftain has from time to time
called attention to the growing neces-
sity for a better disposal of the sewage
of the city The septic tank at the
edge of town was never any too san

population has become entirely made
quate and is now a menace to the
health OF that part of the city contigu-
GUS to where it empties into Bull creek.
The septic tank has never been clean

task to do so. But the time is ripe for
some steps toward its Improvement.
It simply cannot remain as it is much
longer without serious results.
The history of the capital removal
from Guthrie to Oklahoma City will
add no glory to Oklahoma and the
year 1910 will end with cloud hang
ing over the entire state. The dis
graceful proceeding began with the at
tempt by an automatic ballot at the
election on June II to move the cap
ital in defiance of law and violation
of the constitution. That election was
declared void by the supreme court
yet the governor proceeded on the
theory that the people had voted tc
move the capital Immediately. After
being baffled by the supreme court the
governor made another daring at
tempt to over ride the constitution ant
the mandate of the court by calling
special session of the Legislature and
forcing it to back him in the scheme
The end is not yet but that the whole
scheme is in fair way to be knock
ed as high as Gilroy's kite.
