The Inter-Urban Railroad.

There hasn't been a day this week
talking about the Interurban. Evil
IDENTITY the people are becoming inter
ested on the subject. The building of
an intcrurban line of road means the
salvation of our country, it means the
promotion of other enterprises, the up
building of the country in every way.
Increase in the value of all kinds of
property will follow the construction
OF an interurban and saving to every
farmer throughout the country that is
traversed by the road in the transpor-
tation of his crops will be realized.
Think, il you will, of farmer hauling
his stuff to market distance of from
% to IS miles at a cost of one-third OF
his crop to do it and you will figure
that the farmer, who is as much inte--
ested in the development of the coun-
try as any other man, can and will take
stock in such an enterprise. 1t is a
force OF necessity that enables him to
build gigantic air castles, so to speak,
and dwell on things in his own mind
as a means of transportation that
might seem impossible. Bus the build
ing of a motor car system in this
country is not dream 1t is thing
that sooner OF later is to be realized.
The people by popular subscription,
ttaking stock to build and equip such
line. Gasoline motors can be used
They have sufficient power to haul four
or five freight cars and gasoline for
fuel is the cheapest power we can get
in this country. 1t is the only thing
and the proper thing for the people of
this country to fall upon at this time to
meet the requirements. We have con-
fidence IN this proposition as winner
and live in anticipation of something
being done in the near future. Shat

TO THE SCHOOL BOARDS, BEA.
YER COUNTY, OKLAHOMA;
GENTLEMAN:
On account of the Excise Board
not having received the Valuation OF
Beaver County from the State Depart
ment as fixed bo the State Board, we
have been unable to estimate the levy
necessary for the School Districts the
coming year. We have sent a telegram
20 the Secret tary of State, and are ex-
pecting an answer at any time, and
will attend to this matter just as soon
as it is possible for us to do so,
The law states that the Special Elec-
tion for the increased tax levy shall be
held on the second Tuesday after the
first Monday in August, which will be
the 18th of this month. If you are
planning on having levy above 5
mills, it will be necessary to hold the
election as stated. and have at least 30
per cent of the voters present There
fore | would advise you to arrange for
this election at once, and in the mean
time the Excise Board will try to get
you statement of the amount of the
levy necessary for your District.
The law does not state that it is nee
essary to post the special notices ten
days before the date of election, but
mentions that the Excise Board shall
publish in some local paper the order
for the election. The School Board
should try to get the election properly
advertised in their District, if not by
special posted notices, in some other
manner.
The Excise Boaid will publish the
result OF their meeting aud the amount
of tax levy necessary for each District.
in the County papers for the next
week. A copy Of some paper will be
sent to the Clerk Of each District
Board.
Done by order of tho County Excise
Board.

A Breaking Corner.

Millions of pounds of butter. eggs.

storage warehouses here will be
thrown on the market before May 1.
and a general tumbling of food prices

ciated Press dispatch from Chicago
printed by The Republican last TueC-

Until May 1 is a long time for hun
cry man to wait for a reduction Of

by the dispatch that all this load

thereby creating artificially high
prices. which could be maintained or
still further increased but for the
early open winter and the banner
crops of last year. The bounteousness
which smiled on the land frowned
upon the forestallers and threatened
them with bankruptcy.
We ought to get some benefit from
anticipations of the break in this cor
ner in provisions. Some of the COM
mission men who were implicated in
this crime against consumers have
already failed and have received their
punishment for a practice which was
punishable by death in England
thousand years ago.
We learn that in consequence there
has already been a drop in the whole
sale price of butter. cheese and eggs.
as well as in the price of cured meats.
but we also learr from the same
sources that the retailer knows of
such reductions only by hearsay and
that the consumer has not heard of
ii at all.

is about to be dissipated by the in
ability of the commission men to hold
on longer, is enormous; in thirty-two

THE NEW JAPANESE TREATY.

The negotiation of a new general
treaty with Japan will mark another
epoch i'm the history of that nation and
of its relations with the world. The
original treaty of 1854 marked the
opening of Japan to intercourse and
relationships with the rest of the world
at time when her domestic affairs
were still and were likely long to re-
main in the antiquated condition of
centuries before: and the treaty was
consequently framed i'm accordance
with the vast disparity of constitution
al and social systems between the two
countries. The second treaty. in 1894.
marked the emergence of Japan into
complete constitutionalism. though
still in an experimental stage The
island empire was at that time hope
fully striving to establish herself as
A peer in the community of nations.
and the treaty was framed with that
end i'm view.
Now experiment has given place to
achievement I'm both peace and war
Japan has indicated her title to a
place among the great powers of the
world She has even entered into an
alliance on equal terms with one of
the greatest of them Naturally. there
fore. she seeks a readjustment of her
relations with America. i'm which there
shall be satisfactory recognition of
the assured progress which she has
attained. She wants a treaty between
herself and America as between equals
She is no longer under tutelage or tut
ton. She is a fully developed nation.
The drafting of the treaty will not
however. be an easy task, to be ac-
complished on the same lines as those
of treaties with other powers The doc
trine of the most favored nation is use
full and often beneficient but il is not
always perfectly logical for universal
application. Equality does not mean
identity. There are radical differences
among peers. We may ignore racial
contrasts. but there are other differ
ences which must be recognized. There
are social and industrial differences
between the two nations which suggest

New York. Jan. 1S.-Certain char

market lacked the broad support
which which accompanied the recent
enhancement of values and many
of the better known issues were un-

Readiness to accept offerings on
slight concessions steadied the mar
ket and restricted the fluctuations to
comparatively narrow limits.

mans were steady with issues off

Who Will Rock the Boat?

The Hon. A. Mitchell Palmer of the
Twenty-siXth congressional district of
Pennsylvania sees clear sailing ahead
for the democratic craft, but i'm his
remarks at the jackson day dinner.
Wednesday night, he was mindful of
unforeseen disaster. Many craft has
been wrecked on peaceful waters be-
cause someone in the exhuberance of
his joy rocked the boat
So Mr.. Palmer regarded "the damn
fool who rocks the boat" as the only
menace to continueu democratic sue
cess. The experience of the party in
the short periods of the party's con-
troll. in whole or in part, of this coun-
try within the last half century war
rants Mr.. Palmers apprehension
What has happened once may happen
again. When il has happened every
time, it may be reasonably feared that
its continued happening is inevitable
The democratic craft has always been
Mr.. Palmer must have had in mind
someone who would be more likely
than another to engage in such disas-
ter-breeding jollity If so it would
be interesting to know of whom he
was apprehensive and at what stage
of the voyage he feared the rocking
might be begun
II is observed that in the course of
the speeches of the afternoon and
evening of the Jackson day celebra-
ton. where the fairest of the sons of
the national democracy were gath
cred. no mention was made of the
name of Mr.. Bryan, who for fifteen
years has been not only the leader of
democracy, but democracy itself.
So is it not possible that it &C
CURED to Mr.. Palmer. who happened
to be the next to the last in the list
of speakers. that the slight of silence
had been put upon the hitherto peer
less leader. and that it was up to him
to repair that slight by a tender
though somewhat profane allusion?
But, as we have said. the boat rock
er is inspired by jollity and exhuber-
ance of spirits. There is reason to
believe that Mr.. Bryan is not in such
a mood. and reason to believe that he
is not likely to be during the forth
coming democratic voyage.
Moreover, Mr.. Bryan has never
rocked the boat in the course of his
career as a political mariner. But he
has invariably so unskillfully handled
it at the launching that it was cap
sized.
Mr.. Palmer must, therefore. have
had someone else i'm mind AS to his
identity we have no idea. but time
will shortly disclose the boat rocker.

needed no heaven pointing shaft. no

lies all that is mortal of Washington

And why? Because Washington
Irving built his monument while he
lived, so that there now survives al
most sixty years after his death the
influence of a life spent to a good
purpose The generations that have
come and gone since Irving's day
have learned to love the personality
that wrought itself into everything
he wrote. making his influence a
perpetual heritage to all who enter.
even as mere readers. into the realm
of letters. And reading, one realizes
that Washington Irving was man
of heart. of soul, of sympathy and
of wonderful perceptions. That he
had his hopes. his disappointments.
his joys and his sorrows. just as do
the men of the twentieth century.
But one understands, too, that he
saw far beyond all these things and
so left an influence that pervades
the quietest inner corner of the
twentieth century heart-just as it
must have influenced the hearts of
those who lived and touched hands
with him in his day
But it isn't a question of one
writing books that live through the
generations. or the symphony that
will move men hundred years after
the composers death. 1t is the sim
pie thing of a man making himself
useful in his own day and generation,
in his own little circle of relatives
and friends. 1t is doing the little
necessary things of today. putting the
sympathetic touch to all that we at
tempt that makes us live beyond our
own time.
