chickasha democrats have given
respectful and attentive hearings to
Mr. Murray and Mr. Ross and they
are ready to accord the same courtesy
to Mr. Cruce. Every candidate for
the high Office OF chief executive Of
the state is entitled to such hearing.
The people are listening to the evil
dence and they win decide the case on
It's merits. In making UP our minds
we should know the views of every
candidate and should also know the
men. Personal friendship inevitably
influences every man but 1t should
not be the decisive element. The I'M

of man Is the eandidateg What does
he stand for2 Let US scrutinize every
man. hear his views and then vote for
the good Of Oklahoma.

HONOR TO GEN. MEADE.
soleler's Great Services to Country
Never Adequately Recognized.

The record of Pennsylvania con
tribution to the Onion service IN the
civil war Is. one that the people of the
State are proud of, even though they
have not always been as emphatic as
they might be In manifesting IT,
About two years ago. at a Harvard
dinner, Charles Francis Adams and
Henry l.. Higginsoa. of Boston. in
speeches expressed their amazement
at the failure OF the country TO appre-
ciate at its fun value the extraordi-
nary services Of Gen. Meade TO the
Union"
HGen. George Gordon Meade has
never been without honor in Pennsyl-
yania or throughout the nation since
Gettysburg. in 1853. but the degree
of recognition which this great sol
der has received Is altogether made
uuate. Gen. Meade was born in 1915.
On the 31st of this month, which 'is
the ninety-fifth anniversary of Gen.
Meade's birth. the Historical Society
of Pennsylvania will give dinner in
commemoration of his distinguished
services. Three lieutenants general
who commanded the army will be
present-Nelson A. Miles, John c.
Bates and Samuel b. NJ. Young. Our
list of lieutenants general is a short
one, and the assembling of three at
banquet in honor of one OF our
greatest generals, who should have
been a lieutenant general. is itself an
unusual and noteworthy event. Each
of these lieutenants general, too. serv-
ed under Gen. Meade,s command in
the civil war. and from their personal
knowledge of the man are prepared
10 pay a just tribute TO his memory
The PENNSYLVANIA Historical Soci-
ETY. does well TO call attention anew
to the great service of Gen. Meade 10
his country an .dto his State while
some Of the witnesses of his large
work and worth still survive. Prepa-
rations for a fitting celebration of the
iftieth anrivers AIRY of the battle OF
Gettysburg are now in progress. The
Historical Society's memorial feast TO
the commander of the Union army In
that great conflict is an appropriate
and proper preliminary to the greater

A ouEuELEss CHINA.
Embassy Attache Regards Hirsste Re
form in Empire as Inevitable.

That a queueless China Is the inr
evitable of the not distant future Is
the opinion of the attaches of the
Chinese legation.
There has existed for number
of years. said one OF the secretaries.
when informed, that the Chinese had
requested that an imperial edit be
issuted permitting the adjustment OF
the queue. "a growing agitation in
favor OF cutting OF the queues.
This movement is supported main
| ly by those Chinese who have come
in contact with Occidental influences,
such as men who have been educated
il Europe Or in America. AireaGg
goodly portion of the men in the
army and navy have ceased wearing
the queue as a matter of convenience.
The complete aboliticn of the queue
is sure 70 come in the army and navy.
aad probably these men viii become
the leaders in the anti-queue agita-
ton. =
FOR years Chinese living in for
eign lands have suited their own con-
venierce in regard 10 the wearing OF
the oIeue. There has never been any
legal requirements that it should b
worn, and with the increased num-
Der of Chinese abroad and their adop-
tic1 CT Western manners. the queues
have to greater extent been aban-
doled.
Through practically all officialdom
China still wears the queue. No en-
barrassment is suffered by the Chi
nese who return home from abroad
Without ne queue. The matter is -
ing regarded in commcn-sense light.
Il do not suppose that more than
l per cent. of the population, taken
as a whole, have cut of the queues.
1t is only in the cities that the move
ment has spread very far. In the
provinces. where outside influences
are less fell, there Is a greater con-
servatism in all matters The old
men strongly oppose any sacrifice OF
the queue. They regard the queue
almost in the light. of sacred duty,
as they have been taught to do by
their fathers. and their fathers before
