President Taft has been com

ference to the treaties with Great
Britain and France, and the pro-
gress made for universal peace
has been something wonderful
However, the United States sen
ate, which is always jealous OF
any slight prerogative, has prov

ratification of these treaties, and
the measure will 60 over until tn,

to know about things in Alaska
because the representatives of
that state are on the "outer
edge made a very strong de-
fense Of the president in which
he accused the, democrats ON the
committee of investigation of the
Controller Bay charges of cow
ardice, and with deliberate at
tempt to shield those responsible
for I: colossal fake, as shown in
the Introduction in the investiga-
tjon of the "Dick to Dick let

coz denim the investigation com
mittee which has denied a hear
lng to witnesses who could have
dKproven the fake charges that
Were made in the Controller Bay
affair. Mr.. Mann said that the
committee. having realized that
the scandalous charges made
against the integrity of the presi,
dent, could not be proven, had no
the manliness to go forward and
say so, but had stopped hearings
on the inquiry in order that a
false impression might prevail
throughout the country. Chair
man Graham defended the course
Of the committee, saying that
since inquiry was to be "more
comprehensive" than at first
planned, he thought it best "to
make haste slowly" Representa-
tive Burke of South Dakota in
formed his colleagues in congress
as to the real manner in which
the postponement of the investi-
CATION had been brought about,
and he stated that he had made
every effort possible to push the
investigation, but without sue
cess. "The postponement.' he

The Alaskan delegate, Wicker
sham, just before plunging into
the wilderness Of his own country
sent a message from Seattle,
where he stopped en- route, say
ing that Colonel Roosevelt and
Clifford Pinchot are radically
wrong and SO is the president,
and in consequence Alaska is be-
ing crushed. He then proceeded
to discuss the leasing bill propos-
ed by the chairman of the house
committee, to fix the price to be
paid for coal mines in Alaska.
Wickersham says he is going to
run again for the position of de-
legate, and a good many people
here will watch the outcome. AL
though from the faraway country
and having no vote in congress,
the gentleman from Alaska has
made about as much disturbance
around the capitol as any man in
it.

Ihe attention OF congress in
regard to the wide difference of
the courts in references to marri-
age and divorce laws throughout
the states has been directed to a
plan remedying the faults Of the
divorce laws by Representative
George w. Norris of Nebraska,
who suggests that the governors
Of the different states send rep
resentatives to congress of dele
gates to be held in the hall of
the house of representatives. for
the purpose Of formulating uni
form laws of marriage and di-
vorce for the different states.
The proposition embodied in the
Norris resolution has created a
large amount of favorable com
ment and a surprising amount
OF support might volunteer to go
to the aid of Mr.. Norris and his
proposition. In the senate the
the chairman of the judiciary
committee, Mr.. Clark of Wyom-
ing, who has decided ideas upon
the question Of constitutional
amendment to make the laws Of
the different states uniform, ex-
pressed himself to the effect that
ti9ls course would not be neces-
sary and that the matter could be
adjusted between the states
through their legislatures. 1t is
quite probable with a fighter like
Mr.. Norris at the helm that this
great problem might be worked
out.

gave out a short statement in
which he denounced the secret

"why should the democratic
members submit to the secret eau
cus?' After making few APP
parently harmless remarks, Mr..
Bryan concluded with these
words: eff you are opposed to

to pour in by way of correspon-

1t has been suggested, in view
OF the question raised in the elec-
ton of Senator Stephenson Of
WlsconDin, that The question OF
the election of senators by direct
vote of the people is being plac-
ed on trial. The great expendi-
tures made by Senator Stephen.
son were not in securing his elec,
ton by the legislature but in mai
ing a campaign for the votes east
at the polls by the electors of the
state. While of course it ap-
pears upon the face of the matter
that Senator Stephenson spent
an enormous sum Of money in Sc
curing his election, yet most
people seem to lose sight of the
fact that this was not done in the
ordinary sense of controlling a
legislature but in making state
wide campaign which was carried
to the hamlets and crossroads.
The aged Wisconsin senator has
refused to discuss the investiga
tion. The only comment that he
has made and that has come from
some Of his friends has been to
the effect that it cost him many
times more to elect Senaor La
Toilette than himself.

 Now listen, suppose you had invest ed in lots in Conway only one or two blocks from the depot when Conway was first started and had only invest ed in twenty-five feet, look what it would have meant to you today, and Conway has nothing like the natural resources to build up a city that Boynton has-ratural gas, oil, coal and the finest brick and pottery shale to be found anywhere, as well as one of the finest bodies of farming land to be found outside of the Arkansas Valley. and we are far enough from any other town of size to hinder us in becoming one of the best towns in Eastern Oklahoma's second-olass cit ies.

tinue, the children of today will to-
morrow have nothing within them

pened to sit opposite a group of girls
who were going home from high
school. They were dressed in the ex-
treme of fashion And not OF children's
fashion either, but Of grown-ups. One
dress with a fur coat and another an
deliberately braided velvet suit.
Elaborate gold bracelets and fussy
long chains were very much in evil
dence.
Three of the FIVE wore wells. All had
toques or hats which would have beer
much more suitable for their married
sisters.
Rice powder had evidently been uset
by four of the girls and all the couture.
looked as II they represented at leasi
an hour OF time and ten dollars worth
of hair.
The snatches of conversation thai
reached my ears were mostly about
boys. dates, dances and similar sub.
jects.

myself. Where are the children o.

pig -tailed, short-skirted high schoo
