One Of the star attractions of the popular
exhibit of r. NJ owen & CO. at the big
Garden show is the new model R-O tour

OKLAHOMA CITY. Dec. 23.-His recent complaint that a railroad sta ton waiting room at Boydton, Okla, Was without fire on a bitterly cold day. led to the discovery today that J. NJ. Jackson and his wife are parents Of fourteen children. thirteen of whom were born inside of three years. The oldest child. a son, is now fourteen -.ears old. Five years ago the in crease in the Jackson family became marked Twins, now five years old, were born. triplets succeeded the twins in twelve months and in another year trtplets again made their appearance one year after the last triplets, came five children on the same day. The last five are alive but the health of the whole family. Jackson said. is inn paired by the absence of warmth in the Boynton station waiting room.

SUNDAY .-......
The Democratic Convention

The Republican is and has always been keenly alive |" the interests oi Phoenix. as the record will show. It believes in striving for every attain able good thing. But when MT Selim Nicholson. Arizona's $ member of the democratic national committee. grave ly announces. according to the Demo crat that he proposes working to bring the next national convention of his party here. it really does seem that Mir Nicholson has attained a posi- iion that puts the end of the limit several paces behind him.
 The Republican sincerely hopes that this is not treason. ar lese majeste. or libel or anything of that kind. And ii Mr. Nicholson really does bring the convention to Phoenix The Repub- Iican will offer an abject apology.
 But it really does seem that it is something of an undertaking The contenders for the honor Of the con vention are Chicago. St. Louis. and Baltimore. with St. Louis. according to the best authority. well in the lead. Now. St. Louis -has-S0O .000 people Baltimore almost as many. and Chi cago has two and a half millions. The Republican believes that Phoe nix is the biggest city of it's size in the world but it does seem it is hard ly in the national convention class yet.
 There will be more than 1000 dele gates to this convention. The audi torium in which the convention is held will have 10 seat anywhere from fifteen thousand to twenty-five thou sand people and just what Phoenix would do with national convention, assuming one could be induced to come here, is rather difficult to imag inc
 But worry on that point would be premature There is not more than one chance in d million that Mir. Nicholson will succeed in his laud able endeavor; and if he does he should be crowned as the greatest little promoter the world has vet pro- duced.

Just Common Sense

The Republican doesn't profess to be tariff expert. There are good many things about specific and ad valorem duties, about cost differen- tials and things of that sort that it doesn't know and doesn't care to know. But it does claim to he able to apply the principles of common sense to our tariff system and that is something a good many of the SO called experts seem to have over looked.
 For one thing this paper is quite convinced that the high cost of living. a fact which We all acknowledge and ali deplore. is not due in any consid- erabIe degree to the tariff And that fact can be readily demonstrated to than noise to reach. conclusions that square with the truth.
 The tariff fight in congress this winter will revolve around the wool schedule And it is the claim of the democrats that the high cost of cloth ing and other articles manufactured. in whole or in part. from wool. is due to the "robber tariff" But a single illustration will show to what extent the tariff barons" have been stealing from us and whether it is a case of grand larceny. petit larceny. or just ordinary pilfering.
 Suppose you buy a fairly good suit of clothes The suit will weigh eight pounds and will cost you $35. let us say. If the whole business weighs eight pounds there can't be more than eight pounds of wool in it. Even a free trader will admit that.
 Let us say the grade of wool that goes into that suit sells for 90 cents a pound and the tariff rate is 80 per cent ad valorem. The cost of the

, wool, then, including the tariff tax. is $40. The value of the wool. ex- elusive of the "tax." would be SI.33
 Now under the Underwood Fol leIte agreement. the tariff would have been 29 per cent. or 3S cents on Sl.33 worth of wool. which would bring the cost of the wool in an eight-pound suit of clothes up to Sl.7L
 The cost of wool in a s35 suit of clothes under the present tariff ar lrangement is $40.
 The cost under the Underwood-La Toilette arrangement, and that is the arrangement likely to be made hy the democrats, would be, according to the democratic claim. S1.71.
 The saving To the consumer on his suit of clothes would be 69 cents.
 And that is supposed to solve the high cost Of living problem,
 Could anything he more absurd?
 Then, il is well to remember, there is another side to this question.
 This beautiful arrangement con templates a reduction Of eight and q half cents from the present price of raw wool. That ought to cause a great deal of hilarity among the wool growers of the southwest
 If the house democrats are going to stake their economic reputations on their proposed treatment of the wool schedule they will hardly fail to lose heavily in prestige. The Republican does not pretend to say that the wool schedule should not be revised in q sensible manner. But il does say that this claim that the tariff on wool is responsible for the advance in the price Of clothing. that is general in all parts of the United States, is abso- mtely disproved by the facts.

THE WooDcRAFT INDIANS.
What Ernest Thompson Seton's Or
 qsnized Scouts Stand For.

A great many of our readers are familiar with the organization called The Woodcraft Indians" or Indian Scouts" originated by Ernest Thomp- son Seton. July l. 1902. at Cos Cob, Conn Mir Seton established this camp with the main object. as he states in letter to St Nicho-as. TO develop boys in the right direction mentally. morally and physically by supplying wholesome. and especially outdoor. activities; aiming never to crush energy but to direct it. belieV- ing that practically no boys are born bad The bad ones are made so by evil surroundings. Our motto IS Manhood. not Scholarship. the ob feet of Education" He tells us in The Birch Bark Roll" q handbook of instruction for the woOdcraft In- dians (and this is practically another name for Boy Scouts'D, that sport is the great incentive to outdoor Life: nature study is the intellectual side of sport
 Mir Seton explains that merely go- ing to the woods is not enough; there must be real interest in the woods, and cities in favor of this argument the following incident:
 Not long ago benevolent rich man. impressed with this idea, char tered a steamer and took some hum dreds of slum boys up to the Catskills for q day in the woods They were duly landed and told to go in now and have glorious time It was like gathering uD netful or catfish and throwing them into the woods, saying. Go and have glorious time
 The boys sulked around. and sul lenly disappeared An hour later. on

DeIeqate Miekersham.

Delegate James Wickersham of Alaska. who is just now travelling around the country delivering speech es on the subject of the territory he is supposed to represent in congress. reached the apex of stiffness in an address at Minneapolis Friday night. In fact. he did more than that. He transgressed the bounds that are sup posed to hedge about the conduct of a gentleman.
 In that speech, Wickersham. who seems to be much puffed up with the consciousness of his own import ance. made d scurrilous attack on President Taft that would have done credit to any soap box orator. but was hardly to have been expected from q man holding seat in con gress. Among other things. Wicker sham said
 Taft knew We (the Alaskans) are strong American citizens. and for that reason would not give us legislative or territorial form of government for fear We would not give our resources to his friends, the Guggenheims"
 If this man, Wickersham, it may be said here is a sample of the kind of people they have in Alaska. they are not nearly so strong as he seems to think. One of the signs of strength Is self control. and another is hon. esty. and MT. Wickersham happens to possess neither And when Wick ersham accuses the president If de- nying to the people of Alaska the right of self government in order that the Guggenheim syndicate, or any other syndicate, might be given q chance to despoil the country he is telling what he knows to be an out rageous faisehood.
 Here k an accusation of the gross est sort of moral turpitude brought with malice and reconciliation against the president Of the United States. IL was made by a man occupying a high position in the government of this country and yet whose in stincts are the instincts of the man in the gutter.
 It cannot be said at this distance whether AIr. Taft is right or wrong in his ideas regarding Alaskan af- fairs But here are few facts wor- thy of consideration. He appointed to the position of secretary of the interior Mir Walter l.. Fisher. a man who is just as much a progressive as the redoubtabIe Mir. Wickersham him self and who was acceptable to all the insurgents of the country. Mir. Fisher made d trip to Alaska. He traveled all over the country. He studied the Alaskan question at close range and got his information at first hand And when he got back to this country he made report in which he agreed with President Taft in every particular.
 It is a little hard to treat with pa tience the fulminations of mono maniac of the Wickersham type. He has disgraced himself and the people he represents. It was hardly to be expected that in his treatment of the president he would play fair. but 1t was expected that he would not trans gress the bounds of decency and pro- priety. The sooner harlequins of the Wickersham type are retired to pri- vate life the better it will be for the country.
