The Oklahoma papers say that in
spite of their elaborate Constitution
there is more defiance of the law in
their State than in any other part of
the country. The Oklahoma City Times
says that there are so gambling hells
in the town, which is known to the
Governor and all the State and city
officials. There are 1900 bootlegging
joints in the city, which is almost as
well known. The papers demand that
the laws be enformed and these evils
eradicated.

The census of 1910 shows that more
than half the population of New York
State resides in New York City. There
are now 4.766.ss3 people in the city,
with possibly not over 100000 in the
State outside. This will make impor-
tant political changes. The State has
now 36 Representatives in Congress, of
whom IT come from the city and 1s

DEFEAT OF HON. WASHINGTON
GARDINER

Among the many excellent comrades
who have recently fallen outside the
breastworks in the contest for rsnomi-
nation to Congress the defeat of none
will bring more regret in more direc-
tions than that of Hon. Washington
Gardiner, of the Third District of Mich
igan. Comrade Washington Gardiner
has so much more to recommend him
to the veterans and to the people than
almost any man that can be named
that it is impossible to see how his de-
feat has come about. To begin with,
he is typical comrade. Enlisting as
boy from college in a splendid fighting
regiment, he carried his musket faith
fully and bravely thru all its service,
receiving a severe wound at Resaca
After being mustered out he graduated
with honor from the Ohio Wesleyan
University, then from the schools of
theology and law. and became an ac-
ceptable minister of the Gospel wher-
ever he labored. He took a deep inter-
est in his comrades. was one of the
carly members and promoters of the
Grand Army of the Republic, and in
1883 was elected by them as Command
er of the Department of Michigan, G.
! A r. He served three terms as Secre-
tary of State, discharging his duties so
well that he was renominated by ac-
clamation. Then he was solicited to
become a candidate for Conress, and
was elected to the 56th, 57th, 5Sth,
59th, Goth and 61st Conresses, every
time by increasing majorities, so that
his defeat comes as a most painful sur
prise. He made high reputation for
himself in Congress, which is shown by
his selection for member of the most
important committee in the House, that
on Appropriations. He was also Il
member of the Committee on Expendi-
lures in the Department of Commerce
and Labor.
Comrade Gardiner, with his COM
manding presence, his crown of glory
of white hair and his eloquent impress,
siveness has been always an acceptable
speaker and much in request, especially
where good, solid work was to be done.
His defeat will be a distinct loss to
Michigan and to the Congress of the
United States.

Analysis of the water obtained from
the artesian wells around st. Cloud
shows it to be unusually pure. There
are only 10.7 parts of solid matter in
10O, 900, and these solids are made up
of lime. salt, magnesium, sulphate and
silica. The shallow wells seem to have
water as pure as those driven deeper.
The wells used for irrigation and truck
gardens flow as low as 20 gallons a
minute for a twO-inch bore and 10
gallons a minute for a four-inch bore.
Some good flows have been obtained at
a depth of $50 feet, but as a general
rule it is necessary to go $50 feet to get
flow sufficient to irrigate as much as
10 acres The cost of sinking these
wells varies with the size of the bore.
a two-inch we'll will cost so cents a
foot, a three-inch we'll IS cents a foot
and a four-inch well 81 a foot. The
two-inch wells are mostly in use.

1t now looks as though there
would be a much larger delegation
from Mount Vernon and Knox county

at Dayton the 25-27 than attended
at the Cleveland convention. Silas
Parr, H. 8. Campbell, W. H. Jones
and Gin Blocher have already lined
up and there are a number Of others
who will decide before Sunday. Per-
haps the one thing that is securing
the great interest throughout the
state Is the fact that 1t is an inter-
denominational movement for the
purpose of bringing Christ's kingdom
into all parts of the world in this
generation.
In order to secure rooms at pri-
vate homes It IL essential that the
registrations be in before Sunday.
