TEMPERANCE MEET
AND IN SCOTLAND!
WHAT DO you THINK OF THAT
EIGHTH ANNUAL CONVENTION
WORLDS w. C. T. U. ..

Glasgow, Scotland, June 6.-Shade
Of Bobby Burns! The temperance
women of the world are about to
hold a convention, and in Scotland,
of all places. IIoct, mon, do you
ken that? Hundreds of the ladies are
already here. coming from the four
corners of the earth and from Mil
wauhee, Wis, and they are bonny
lasses. even if they would deprive
Scotia Of its good oli Scotch whis-
kew. the best in the world, bar none,
and distilled by men whose fathers
and fathers fathers have been en-
gagged in the distilling business since
Scotland went Presbyterian.
The meeting which will continue
through all Of the coming week, Is
the eighth annual convention Of the
Worlds Womens Christian Temper
ance Union. The Countess of Car
Isle is the president, and will pre-
side. while Mrs. l.. NJ. n. stevens, OF
Portland, Me-, is vice president at
large. Fifty nations are represented
among the cold water delegates. The
United States branch of the w. c.
r. L. has the largest membership,
about 100000 with Great Britain
second, with 25O,OOO adherents of the
cause.
Some of the women attending the
Glasgow convention will go to Spain
later for the congress on the sup
preston of the white slave traf
fic. which is to he held in Madrid
in the fall. This congress was orig
inally scheduled for May, but was
postponed because of the absence
from Madrid this spring of the In
fanta Isabel of Spain, who is inter
ested in the movement. Festivities
in the Argentine Republic require
the lnfanta Isabers presence in May,
so the congress had to be put off.

There is but one side to this question.
1t is only a question because Guthrie
undertakes 10 make it one. The peo'
pie Of the state do not look on it as
one.
Poor Guthrie, 1t just can't be hep
ed Nobody is against you, ugly as
you are; the trouble is you have moth
ing for you. You should not take the
matter to heart so. OF course, the peo-
pie are not going to throw away an
opportunity to pick up a cool million
dollars, or such a matter, just to bene-
1T you. Guthrie. The state owes you
nothing and is under no obligation to
you. If you were reasonable and
honest candidate you would withdraw
from the race. DO that, and we Will
all admire you, if we don't give you
anything.

INDIAN FARMING
THEN AND NOW
HOW WORK ON THE FARM HAS
CHANGED IN THE PAST THlR-
SEVEN YEARS. =.

Colony, Okla, June 5.-"About
week or ten days ago | had occa-

going TO his home | found him in
the fields at work. He was listing

for many years in charge of farm
demonstration work among the In

Calling on Joel Littlebird, who
lives near, ! found him in the field
also. Joel was plowing with three

horse hitched on the side of his
plow team, next to the plowe1
ground, drawing a section of har

covered about three burrows, Joel
was getting his ground narrowed

The sight of Joel plowing this
way and narrowing at the same
time brought to my mind, by way
of comparison, the first time | saw
an Araphoe Indian trying to plow. 1t
was thirty-seven years ago, and the
| Indian had a span of small Indian
ponies hitched TO a ten-inch plow. a
rawhide lariat was tied to each
pony's neck and each rope was in
the hands of a strong Indian WON
an, who was walking ahead with
the rope across her shoulders, and
her weight thrown ahead pulling
on the rope. An Indian man behind
each pony was plying the whip as

ITO ALASKA" SAYS
Mr.. GUGGENHE|M
THAT'S THE ONLY PLACE LEFT
WHERE MEN CAN GROW UP
WITH COUNTRY, HE SAYS.

New York, June 5.-"Alaska must
ultimately benefit from the federal
investigation of the territory's af-
fairs" says Daniel Guggenheim, the
head of the Inorganic -Gugenheim Alas
kan syndicate, in an interview given
out here today. Mr.. Guggenheim will
sail for Europe on Wednesday.
These investigations" he says,
have brought to the attention of
the people of the United States as
nothing could have brought it to
their attention that there is great
sleeping empire of enormous wealth
at our very doors. Now it is time
for the government to stop talking
and do something which will give
the people the opportunity to go to
Alaska and take part in the work of
development.
There has been a lot of salk
about syndicate control of Alaska,
because a syndicate happens to be
building a railroad there. But lit
tie has been accomplished as yet.
The thing to do is to stop talking
and act. To have large undeveloped
quantities of gold, silver, lead, cop
per, tin, zinc, coal, oil, etc, at our
very doors and to refuse to avail
ourselves promptly of this N-Unered
wealth is to hold the country back.
Just remember that Alaska is not
one mans land or a set of mems
land, but every mans land 1t is an
empire without a people, and is
waiting. | would advise our enter
prising young men anxious to sue
ceed who are willing to work and
have backbone and stamina, that
they should go to the magnetic
north.
1T is true, though, that our coun-
try seems to be bent on legislation
adverse to corporations and if this
is persisted in it will finally legis-
late them out of business"

JAPS AND CH|NKS
GETTING Up FUSS
ROW OVER FISHERIES IN GULF
OF PECHlLI RESULTS IN WAR
LIKE PREPARATIONS.

Victoria. b. c., June China ani'
Japan have dispatched war vessels
to the Gulf of Pechili because of
disagreement between the nations
over the control of the several hun
dred fishing vessels from the gulf,
according to news received by the
steamer Empress of India, Satur-
day.
Six hundred fishing junks and
schooners are operated by Chinese,
about half sailing from South Man
churia ports and China insists on
collecting taxes from these vessels,
regarding the Gulf of Pechili as ter
ritorial waters.
Japan insists that China cannot
interfere with the fishermen, hold
ing that the Gulf of Penchili is high
seas"
The Manchurian viceroy has taken
a strong attitude on the question.
against Japan. China sent on May
II two gInbOats and several con-
verted cruisers to seize those vessels
whose owners refused to pay taxes
and five were fired upon and their
crews arrested. Japanese men -of-war
and torpedo boats were promptly
despatched to protect the fishermen
against the Chinese warships and
the incident seemed likely to in
volve both governments in serious
complications.

INeRATITupe OF POLITICS,

The ingratitude of politics and pol.
iticians has always been one of the
mysteries connected with official life
The friends of today, tomorrow are
found in antagonistic positions and
the forgetfulness of past flyors
stands out in marked contrast
II is a war in which there seems
to be no sense Of fealty. Knives are
concealed but always in readiness to
stab where 1t will serve the best in
terests.
The history of American politics
is full of instances where The al
legiance of years has been repdid
by the most cruel ingrdtltlie. Thcle
seems to he no such thiuS as con
stancy among politicians. Whenever
circumstances will serve them bet
ter by throwing down an adher-
ent, there is seldom any hesitation.
An instance the other day in Kan
sas City illustrates the idea. Several
years ago Geo. c. Hale was chief
of the fire department. Jas. \. Reed
was mayor, and Reed and his coterie
wanted his place for a friend. Geo.
NJ, Shelley was president of the
upper house of the council. The low
or house voted to displace Hale, but
when 1t came to the question in
the upper house, Geo. VI. Shelley
took thief loor and made a most
vigorous but Intellectual fight fol

The years passed on, and last
week the present city administra
tion wished to replace Mr.. Shelley
who was the collector of water
rents. with one of their henchmen
Geo. c. Hale was a member of the
board that had his retention or re
moval in its hands.
Mr.. Shelley was removed and mo-
a dissenting vote was cast, althougl

LOOK TOWARDS PAYMENT.
Members Of Cherokee Tribe Expec-

Members Of Cherokee TRIBE ESpec-
tant Of Monies Due Them.
Muskogee. Okla, June +.-The indi-
yidual members Of the Cherokee ma
tion whose tribal affairs are nearer
final closing than any other of the
Five Civilized Tribes, are beginning to
took forward to the amount OF money
that is TO be paid to them by the gov
ernment. w. w Hastings, national
attorney for the Cherokees, who has
spent his last three years bringing
the Cherokee affairs to their present
status. has furnished to some Of his
tribesmen complete statement of the
amount of money now to the credit OF
the Cherokee nation 1t shows that
there is in the asylum fund, national
fund orphan fund, school fund, cattle
tax. railroad rightof-way fund. royal
ties and town lot fund. a total of 81,
313.10631 These Cherokee funds are
on deposit with the government and
draw interest at the rate of five per
cent.
AS there are approximately 10000
Cherokees, this means that there will
be $5S per capita when the final set
tlement is made, to which will be ad'
ded small amount that will arise
from the sale Of tribal properties, such
as school buildings and lands of that
character and few thousand acres
of land that has never been allotted,
amounting to probably 81 per capita.
This means that the average Cherokee
family of five will receive $500.
This does not include. however
the four million dollars that is now
about to be distributed, known as
the Eastern Cherokee fund There
are 10000 Cherokees who will share
in that payment and they will re-
ceive $l33 per capita. SO that the
10000 Cherokees who will share in
lllt I.dSltIH Nlltlbhtt pay lh'HI anu
the regular tribal funds also, will
receive all told $193 per capita
and family Of five will get a total
of $965. The HLstern Cherokee
money will be paid out in June
however and the tribal funds may
not be paid for a year or two yet.
The biggest financial question con
| fronting the Cherokees as Il tribe
/ however, is the settlement with near
| ly 1000 Cherokees who have not
received allotmeuts, and for whom
| there is no land. There are the
new born" Cherokees who were
added to the roll after the proper
I tionate individual allotment was de
ciied upon by the government anj
| the Cherokee Nation, and who, un
less they get allotments, are enti
/ tied tn the equivalent in cash. The
total amount to the credit of the
/ Cherokee tribe would not be suff
cieut to meet this claim.

LOCATING THE STATE CAPITAL.

Several of my readers have ASKED
me why / have not advocated Oklaho-

My reply is that it is not worth

advantage. has the thing and gone.

of the state, in the center of the state,
is the place for the capital and be.

slip the opportunity 90 get a capital

She has something that does not De

PRESS IS DRASTIC
GOVERNMENT BY STEALTH is
THE ONLY WAY TO DESCRIBE
GAG-RULE METHODS OF TAFT.

Washington, June 6.-Government
by stealth. is a fitting expression to
describe the gag-rule methods inaug-
uratel under Mr.. Taft.
Not merely the average employe OF
the government, but the highest Of
ficiais, are afraid to give newspaper
men Information as to what is going
on. Employees are being made to feel
that they owe no fidelity to the
public but that they are mere per-
sonal servants of the coterie OF men
now in charge of the government.
As result of the discharge Of
Pinchot, CLAWS. Kerby and other
interior department employees, the
average government worker today
feels that it is worth his position
to discuss even matters of public
record with a newspaper man.
The following official order signed
by George Otis Smith, director OF
the United States geological survey,
gives an idea of the Russian like
censorship that has been establish
e1 over government information;
Rule .. That no interview shall
be granted without securing from
the person soliciting the same a
promise that he will, before submit
ting the material to his publication
office, present a copy of his manu-
script to the director George Otis
Smith for approval"
So far as is known among news
paper men in Washington, nothing
so drastic as this in the way of
press censorship has ever been at
tempted before in America.
