The political prophets of the capital
however, are putting Mr.. Bryan down

Another line of gossip has it that
Mr.. Bryan is in the Clark boom for
the purpose of leading the support of
the speaker into the Wilson camp at
the right time. That theory is based
on the assumption that in the end the
race will narrow down to a contest
between Wilson and Harmon, and that
Bryan can serve Wilson best by being
in position to take the Clark vote to
him instead of allowing it to go to
Harmon.

Nor hoped that your soft hand, this

Would lie, as now, in mine, beloved

And, like some magic spring, your

Hold all the summer skies.

Too swift, o June, thy feet!

WASHINGTON WATER PLANT
TO COST -FOUR MILLION

Spokane, Wash, May 29.-Four mil.
lion dollars will be expended by the
Washington Water Power company of
Spokane in building it's electric power
plant at Long Lake, % miles north of
this city, where four turbines, with a
maximum capacity of 10000 horse
power are to be installed, according
to w. A. White of New York, chair
man of the finance committee. More
than $17000,O00 already has been in
vested in the street railway, lighting
and power systems. Mr.. White said
the company is now building the high
est weir" dam in the United States,
if not in the world. The structure
will be SOC feet in length, ITO feet in
height and $50 feet in thickness at the
bottom. This dam will take the en-.
tire pressure of the Spokane river in
flood time, discharging the surplus
over the top, instead of diverting ii
through another channel. The four
turbines viii use a 170-foot head OF
water. The current will be conducted
over 60,000-volt high tension lines to
points in eastern Washington, north,
ern Idaho and western Montana.

The supreme court has succeeded in
letting down the bars considerably
with reference to the rights of state
to do as it pleases when once admitted
to statehood In its last analysis il
seems to mean that Oklahoma does
not have to abide by any of the obliga
tions and restrictions imposed in the
enabling act under which it became a
state. Prohibition was one of the obi
cations, first to apply to Indian Terri
tory then to the entire state and was
written into the constitution. The log
ical conclusion now is that any or all
these obligations may be set aside as
of no binding force. 1--WE shall see
what we shall see."

to mind the most stirring and tragic
period in the history of this country

Arkansas that had jurisdiction over
the old Indian Territory The record
of Maledon's gruesome task was said

Vinita has a number of parks that
if properly cared for would add much
to the comfort and beauty of the city
and would also enhance the value of
property. Parker Plaza in the heart
of the city should have attention and
be kept clean and made more beauti-
fu. Work for one or two men could
be utilized there. Electric park on
the east side is more of real park
than the city will have in either of
the other parts for some years to
come. With its abundant water and
fine trees it could be made real rest

Fifty years since the beginning of
the great civil war finds a generation of
younger men and women who realize
little or the significance of Memorial
Day. The handful of veterans of the
blue and the gray that limp out to the
cemeteries once year to scatter flow
ers over the graves of their comrades
live largely in the past and feel
strangely the apathy of the busy
throng about them that seem to care
so little, and remember so little of the
blood and carnage that rent this ma
tion half century ago. But these
old fellows were heroes then and are
heroes still, and hundred thousand
ffuttering little flags placed above the
bones of those who gave their lives a
willing sacrifice for the cause they
believed to be right will gladden. the
memory of each veteran today Time
is a great leveler and eventually wipes
all differences. Mother Earth is kind
to all her children After the storms
of life she takes them back to her
bosom and gives them bed beneath
the grass and flowers.
