Union IS one of the most interesting
records of its kind in the United King
dom. Many high offices have been filled
by SUGGESTIONS of distinguished men
The Irish chief Secretaryship stands out
among them, however, as an office the
holders of which have for more than a
century been succe ssively remarkable for
the variety in their distinction and
genius The official roll includes prime
ministers. statesmen. generals, diPlo-
matists. litterateurs. and viceroys. \ few
selected names illustrate the fact: The
great Duke of Wellington. Lord Har-
dfnge. the Duke of Devonshire, Viscount
Morley, Mr.. Bryce, Lord Mayo. The
British government cannot be accused of
having been sparing of talent. and even
genius. in its supply of rulers to Ire
land. Under these circumstances the re-
suit of the last Century's rule in the
country gives food for thought.
No doubt Mr.. Bonar Law Is rejoicing
in his name and country, which will pro-

of law and order. And, really. one does
not know whether to congratulate Mr..
BOnar Law or to condole with him on
his triumph of Cnionsm. One can fore
see so many jokes in so many papers in
so many years to come.
Mr.. Bonar Law is the first colonial
born statesmen to lead on the great
parties in the motherland. But two of

BONDS FOR THE VIADUGT
Alleged Purpose to Relieve

Through intimations from official
sources that in the special election on
January 80, there will be a second
bonding proposition carrying Sl2,OO0
in aid of the proposed Cleveland ave
nue viaduct. the people OF Guthrie
learn that the city administration IS
being used to advance the notorious
Oklahoma City game OF making peo-
pie outside pay for every job Okla

trate. The city is to be asked to con
tribute $4,000 10 the comfor, and
convenience Of the street car com
pany, which is an Oklahoma City con
Germ, and which is making every et-
tort to prevent the building Of the
viaduct by cooperation Of Guthrie
and the Santa Fe railway without

agreement with The Santa Fe to
vote $4,000 additional bonds for the
yiaduct
From city officials today il was
learned that the Shartell combination,
Oklahoma City, adheres to It's purpose
TO use the yiaduct without putting up
it's proportionate share OF tile cost
and that the city faces the ultimatum
of advancing the money or Of giyins

upon. The company seems 10 nave

The Subllmity of Gail
This amazing hod-up comes at a
time when Guthrie people are moi
feeling the most pleasant toward Oiv
lahoma city schemes Having seen a
state capital piiered and the people
of the entire safe buncoed into pay
ing the entire cost OF ,he unanthoflz
ed proceedings, they are now CON
tronted with the prospect OF putting
mp $4,000 of their own money lc

enterprise more smooth and profit
able, without any substantial beneAi

The sober common sense Of the CIT
izens will probably dictate that II The
city must put up $4,000 in addition
the $35 900 already voted, it should bt
nut into the yiaduet direct and not be
given TO the real estate and railroad
sharks of HOgopois. That is handing
an enemy one more club.

Shartell's Buncomhe
Not much has been heard in th'
last few days OF ShartelIs threat t

administration has agreed TO contrib
