THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS.


No fellow citizens, Mr.. Cruce didn't
..mske the welkln ring in his FIRST
oficial utterance; he dicn't touch on
any skyrockets or pluck any lail-ieath-
ers rom the proud Gid eagle.
no. he didn't do anything Of the
kind and nobobdy expected it Of him.
The inaugural address was the
STRAIGHTFORWARD, heartfelt talk OF a
modest manly business man, who
seems to be entirely sincere in his de-
termination to Serye his countrynien.
The spirit Of fairness which is so
characteristic of the new governor per.
,aded the entire address. Mr. Cruce
makes it clear that he expects 10 be
governor for all the people, showing
no favor to a;sy party or any class Of
citizens
II realize full well that there are
thousands OF citizens who preferred
another for governor, and that my po-
litical views are not in accord with
many OF you: but also realize that
our obligations to the whole people
transcend any party obligations we
can ever incur: and in this broader
conception or our public duties, We
can find common fed in which to Ia,
Dor for the peoples welfare
In his inaugural address Mr.. Cruee
did MOT undertake an exhaustive cat
line Of his policies, but from his brief
utterances we can gather some idea
OF the things which concern him
most. He says:
ITO the timorous investor abroad,
] want TO send this message: As long
as i am governor or Oklahoma your
investments in this state, If they are
honest investments, and made in OBJ
seryance Of orr laws, will be as sa-
credly obseryed and safeguardedalrere
al anywhere on the face Of the earth.
Capital and labor should be friends
Both are sorely needed in the future
development OF the state, and neither
shall unduly Cypress or harrass the
other if ! can prevent it. More rail
roads With better equipment; more
factories with better appliances
greater development Of our vast min
eral resources with greater safety tC
employees; more employment OF laboi
Nith better wages: an educational sys
tenn meeting the modern needs OF al
advanced citizenship; continued de
relopment OF the agricultural inter
ests, giving greater comfort and happl
ness to the farmers Of the state, vii
be the slogan for Oklahoma for tn
next four years"
There's enough work blocked out +
keep the administration busy for fou
years. As loyal Oklahomans. let u
hope that the people Of the state vii
periodically respond to the appeal G
Governor Cruce to join with him i
building here an ideal common
wealth.

THE LoRImER CASE.

The only locality where there seems
to be any question as to the proper
distribution TO be made Of Lorimer is
the senate chamber. The facts in the
case are 80 well known that the aver
age citizen who has paid any atten.
ton to the Jackpot investigation has
no doubt what he would do if he had
chance to vote.
That the election Of Senator Lori
mer was brought about by corrupt
means seems clearly established. The
esteemed senators before whom the
investigation was conducted do not
affirm or deny this but they declare
that there Is no evidence to show that
Lorimer himself was personally impli-
Gated IN the legislative vote iraftick
ing. That's a very important distinc
tion which a senator can see but il
isn't 80 apparent to the ordinary citl
zen. According TO this view every
vote necessary to elect a senator
might be purchased without jeopardiz
ing the senator's seat This kind Of
logic won't 20 anywhere except in the
senate chamber
Out OF respect 70 Itself, to say moth
ing OF the principles Of common de
cency and good government, the sen
ate should promptly purge itself q
Iorlmer and an of his kind

HILL MES STEER

Washington Special to the New York
 World.
 "The funniest think that Bill Nye-my brother-ever said," declared Representa- tive Frank We of Minnesota, was about a steer that ran away from him. Bill and l were boys when our parents moved to the west We worked on fathers farm. Bill got together enough money to buy little steer, which we intended to break to harness and work. Several days after we got the steer home he disappeared and we never saw him again.
 We spent one entire day in the noun tains hunting for him. That night, and it was after midnight when we got home, mother was in the road crying, thinking that we were lost. We had been lost and were hungry, tired and footsore.
 Twenty five years later, when Bill was launching on his newspaper career, I received a letter from him. He was on his way to Europe. He told me that he had been offered a trip around the world by big daily paper and thought he would accept it.
 |" For one particular reason l think I will take it. he wrote, and that is to see if l can't find that darned old steer"

BEIGIUM,s GREAT SEAPORT

From "The Waterside of Antwerp" by
 Ralph D. Paine, in the September Scrib-
 ner
 As one hears the entrance of the Scheldt from the North sea, the surf foams on crumblng yellow beaches whose monotony Is unbroken by rock or cliff or summit. To the northward, along the coast of Zeeland, stretches a watery landscape of shifting islands almost awash, wind blown dunes, and errant channels. As much of 1t as was worth fighting to reclaim as dry land the sturdy courage of the Dutch has saved from the submersion which nature ob- viously intended. Although the river and its commerce are no longer theirs. they still hold the mouth of the Scheldt, the gateway 10 Antwerp. with Flushing as the key.
 few miles inland and the checkered canals and the cheerful red brick villages begin to drop below the surface of the river. topsyturvy phenomenon in which the keels of the shipping are level with steeple. roof and windmill.

Alabama's Agricultural Progress

The farm lands of this state gained 116 per cent in value in the decade covered by the last census. These lands were worth in 1910 the great sum of s216, 0,00O. Ten years be- fore they were worth but $100, 166,- 900. The value per acre last year was $10.45. Ten years before it was but $4.84.
 And yet there was no great change in the improved acreage. The in- crease in ten years was but 12 per cent. The improved territory last year consisted of 9,6S7 ,000 acres. The increase in improved acreage in this state was one per cent less than the average increase in the south.
 The value of 12 leading crops in this state rose to s136,S67 900 last year, a total exceeded in the south in Texas and Georgia only. The gain in 10 years in this state was 119 per cent. The 12 leading crops were corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye, buckwheat, flaxseed, rice, potatoes, hay, tobacco and cotton.
 Lands are still cheap in Alabama. The average value per acre is lower than in other southern states. Land in Georgia is worth $13.74, and in Mississippi $13.61. In Tennessee the average value is S18.53. Today Ala bama offers land at exceptional prices to all investors, and especially to those who desire to establish new homes.

 -ADtOny and Cleopatra
Mir. Taft's Unsupported Assertions

While MT. Taft, on the stump at Hamilton, Mass, said the democrats and insurgents were playing poll tics" in revising the tariff downward, MT. Underwood and Speaker Clark say they were obeying the pledges they made to the people in 1910 and meeting public sentiment. Mir. 'Taft's assertions must stand or fall according to the facts, regardless of his official position. He has no right to charge MT. Underwood and Mr. Clark with insincerity without prov ing the charge, and he does not bring forward a single fact in support of it.
 After admitting that his pet board which he calls tariff" board was irregularly constituted-that it has no power to summon witnesses-no power really at all except to bring in report when and how the Pres ident directs-he goes on to say that the revision bills passed by Congress the bills that he arbitrarily vetoed were so loosely drawn that they would, if enacted into law, have pro- duced the utmost confusion" in the custom houses. Here again is an ut- ter absence of evidence to back up a surplus of assertion. If those bills were so loosely drawn the President should have jotted down an item or two to sustain his charge. He did not do it. He brings forward no proof to sustain his assertion of looseness in the preparation of the bills in question.
 His defense of his vetoes is very weak. He intimates that he may, ir his annual message, crawl out of the hole his vetoes have cast him into. Beyond this the Hamilton speech con- tains little of moment except to show that he proposes to wage war in the most relentless manner against the insurgents. This is not surprising, for all know that William Howard Taft is at heart a standpatter, and he was at home among them in Ham, ilton, Mass, with Senator Lodge at his right hand

 NN July B. 1908, a Constitutional \ form of government was pro-
 - claimed at Monastir Salonica and Erzeroum; and the next day this was confirmed by imperial edict at Constanti- nople. The question on many lips is, has the constitutional regime made good? Are the watchwords, liberty, justice, equality, brotherhood, more than high sounding phrases? Is the country as a whole better off than under Abdul-Hamid? :? Have the Young Turks demonstrated their ability to deliver the goods?
 In lieu of a preface to these remarks we put forth a challenge to one and all to show us a single country where re- form government, following conditions even feebly corresponding to the hope less and intolerable state of Hamidian affairs, has been able in three short years to transform chaos into cosmos and satis- fy all classes of the population. With which preamble we go on to remark that in the present instance nobody is satisfied. Turk and Albanian, Armenian and Arab and Kourd. Greek and Bulgarian and Jew, each complains.
 fNhu HdS one nOt f1Snt 10 say that the fact that these complaints are heard is in itself sign of progress9 Five years ago no one dared open his mouth Now criticism flows freely, though the method of it's utterances in the press is re- stricted by martial law. The airing of grievances is encouraging. But there is much more. One can point to instance after instance where complaint has re- suited in reform. To be a pessimist is as easy as the proverbial descent into Avernus. But is it fair to look only on the dark side? Real and lasting improve ments are also clearly seen
 The process of decentralization is go- ing on. It is not as one cynic has put it. merely decentralization of baksheesh. Provincial governments are more eff cient than they were ever before allowed to be. Where all power has been concen- trated at Yldiz, the porte has regained much of it's executive function, while parliament is a real legislative force, and often truly constructive. The ter TOTS of espionage are gone, though po- here than in other civilized countries.
 There have been wonderful changes re- garding freedom of the press and free dom of travel. We might also mention among the great improvements the free dom of assembly. Under the tyranny, pastors and preachers were not allowed to hold prayer meetings in their own

In exports Galveston is far and away the leader, while in imports New Or leans outranks all the rest. Calves tons imports are less in value than Mobiles.
 The south now furnishes AZ per cent of the country's export values, and its imports are steadily increas- ing. When the canal is open south ern ports will be crowded with both. Almost every great railroad system is striving to secure extensions to southern ports, and wonderful ex- pansion in foreign commerce will no doubt take place in both the gulf and South Atlantic ports.

 "O be head man over almost half
 hundred islands. with ever so many
 dattos under you and to be a sort of supreme court in yourself sounds big, but Capt. w. H. Shutan, P. C., says it is not really that way. "P. C." means Phil ippine constabulary. Capt Shutan, who has just arrived at the Holland house, lis head man of the Tawi-Taw group of islands, which are the southernmost of the Philippines and even extend into the waters of Borneo.
 Capt Shautan is a young man with |steady eyes and a quiet manner, who has been in the Philippines since he went out In 1899 as a volunteer In 1903 he joined the constabulary and is now home on leave. Besides being in charge of the small islands of the south the captain commands the constabulary of Sulu, where the only American sultan lives.
 'rhere are about i5 islands in the Tawi- Tawi group" said Capt Shautan. They Irange in size from Tawi-Tawi, which is l2S miles long by 10 wide, to hardly more than rocks. Sitauki, the smallest inhab- lited one, is about half mile square, but lit has q bigger population than some Of the larger islands The group covers an area of about POO square miles.
 How do we get about? Well, gun boat comes down there and takes me on inspection trips, and when such craft Is not available l travel from one island to another in launch or a native craft. This is my second period of service in the Moro country
 There are fewer whites in the Tawi- lTawi group than in any other port of the
