AT THE NATIONS CAPITAL
-- BY ROBERT COMPTON -----
SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT

over forty-one billion dollars, an in
crease in value of twenty-one billion
dollars in twenty years. There are
over six million farms, covering close
to nine hundred million acres.
A large majority of xnese farms are
worked by their owners, the small
farmer, who number in round figures,
over five million voters. These farm
ers form the largest single class of
voters in the United States. They
form the backbone of the American
people. Statistics show that each of
these farms is equipped with build
ings, machinery, etc., to the average
value of $4,000. So that the average
farmer is not only a small capitalist
but is also a laborer, working on the
property which he owns.
Assuming that each farmers fam
lily averages six, there is farming
community in this country of over
thirty millions, or one-third of the
entire population.
AS far as they are concerned the
supposed opposition between capital
list and labor, of which the socialists
make so much, is mere nonsense; so
declare many who have studied the
subject
According to the socialistic plan
for the collective ownership of land,
all the farming land of the country, as
we'll as all the other, would be seized,
confiscated in some manner, and
would become the property of the
state and of no single individual.
Armed with these statistics the re-
publican, democratic and progressive
candidates are now going to ask the
farmers how they would like socialis'
tic control, and they hope to turn
back to the regular ranks rlany farm
er votes which they find the socialist
party has influenced.

PRAISED REPUBLICAN PARTY

When Woodrow Wilson wrote his
History of the American People" he
was not a politician, and his opinions
were at that time less likely to be
biased than at the present time, and
every voter should consider the sig
nificance Of his reference to the re-
publican party. .st=@
Let us quote from History of the
American People regarding that era
Of free trade 1898 to 1897. 1t is one
of the most eloquent passages in all
history. Here it is:
"A great poverty and depression
had come upon the western mining
regions and upon the agricultural
regions of the west and south. The
prices had fallen. Men of the poorer
sort were idle everywhere and filled

CHANGE Of VENUE
GIVEN JEFFR|ES
Nowata Editor Will Be Tried For
Murder in Rogers County.

Nowata, Okla, Sept ia change
Of venue to Rogers county was grant.
ed H. o. Jeffries, editor of the Nowata
Advertiser, accused of the murder of
Mrs. Irene Goheen, by Judge Hudson,
of Bartlesville, late Monday. The de.
fendant claims that on account of the
wide publicity which had been given
the case and because of the stand
taken by the Nowata Star, in refuting
statements made by the Jeffries pa
per, the Nowata Advertiser, that he,
Jeffries, could not secure justice in
the courts of Nowata county.
The matter was presented to the
judge at length by both sides in the
controversy Copies of the local pa
pers of the date following the COM
mitting of the murder, were placed in
evidence and articles from both pa
pers read to the court. The court in
announcing its decision said that in
ooLhuNh do bliO llollSl huu bCCA CO
freely discussed and published and
such intense feeling had been engen-
dered both among those who believed
the defendant innocent and guilty that
he was obliged to grant the motion.
The case was set for Monday, No
vember II, when a trial date probably
will be agreed upon. The crime OF
which Jeffries is charged was one of
the most atrocious ever committed in
Oklahoma. The victim was found in
a lonely spot with her head battered
in. evidently with rocks. The evil
dence against Jeffries is purely cir
cumstantial.
The Harkins murder case will be
taken up Tuesday morning. Adjourn
ment was taken Monday during the
argument in the Jeffries case.

SETH GORDON
IS DEAD
Seth K. Gordon Was c. N. HaskeIl's
Manager in First Campaign.

Oklahoma City, Sept. 16.-Seth X.
Gordon, editor of the Gore Citizen, and
former secretary of the state election
board, was found dead early Sunday
morning at his home in Gore, Sc
quoyah county, and was buried there
yesterday afternoon. He leaves a wife
and two children and relatives in
South Carolina, his native state, and
in Louisiana, where his mother re-
sides.
Gordon had resided in the Cherokee
nation for a number of years. In the
first state election he managed the
campaign of C. n Haskell in the race
for governor, and during the first ad-
ministration was attached to the state
school land department, from where
he went to the election board. In the
last primary election Gordon was de-
feated for the democratic nomination
for state senator.

"The Rosary"

Dan Myers opened the theatrical
season last evening at the Grand
theatre with the presentation of The
Rosary" Many people have confused
the play with Florence l.. Barclays
book of the same name, and some ex-
pected to see a dramatization of the
novel The play and the novel, how
ever, have no relation to each other
except the name. But no one could
have been disappointed. 1t was a
strong, clean play intense in places,
with comedy enough to relieve the
tragic features, and was excellently
played Frank o. Ireson as Father
Kelly and Miss Wanda Brindley as the
wife and her sister, were the stars of
the aggregation. Father Kelley was
there with the goods in every situa-
tion, comic or tragic. Miss Brindley
seemed rather wooden at first, but
woke up when she came to the tragic

PROF. PARSONS
HERE YESTERDAY

Prof. A. C. Parsons, state high
school inspector, was in this city yes
terday and spent a portion of the day
looking over affairs at the city high
school,
Prof. Parsons also visited the school
last year and the report was very fav-
orable to this school and judging from
a conversation with him last evening
this years report will be an even bet
ter one. Among the numerous other
things the inspector spoke highly of
were: The increase in attendance, the
addition of two teachers, the general
interest in athletics and school spirit
and he predicts a winning football
team, also the addition of domestic
art and science to the course. He also
spoke very highly of the work of
Prof. Sullivan, the high school princi-
pal, stating that it was a rare pleas
|ure for him to find two such able men
working in such perfect harmony, and
he thinks the board of education is
taking a lead on the other schools in
finding such men and holding them
permanently.
Prof. Parsons delivered a short ad-
dress to the students in which he en-
deavored to impress upon them the
advantage of a higher education and
of attending the higher institutions of
learning in this state.
His address was given good atten-
tion and, Judging from the interest
shown and talk afterwards, we feel
sure that Mr.. Parsons will always find
a most hearty welcome awaiting his
visits to this city.

ways adhered to the policy of fighting
his battles at least formally within the
ranks of the republican party, and it
is not likely that he will change his
lifelong policy in this campaign. But
Mr.. LaFollette has said many kindly
things about Governor Wilson in his
paper, and his brother, William T. La
Toilette, is openly supporting Wilson.
EJ also are many of his leading sup
porters in Wisconsin and elsewhere.
notably Chas. R. Crane of Illinois, Ru-
dolph Spreckels of California, Louis
D. Brandeis of Massachusetts, State
Senator ]. j. Blaine of Wisconsin and
many others.
The dominant element of the repub-
lican party in Wisconsin is practically
at one with Senator LaFollette on ma
tional issues. They have not always
submitted to his leadership in state
affairs, but when he has been right
he has never failed to receive the full
support of his followers.
With this situation so well defined it
does not seem possible that the pro-
gressive republicans of Wisconsin can
vote for anyone else but Wilson. They
have repudiated Taft and have no use
for Roosevelt, and there is nothing
else for them to do but support Wilson,
who is running upon a platform that it
is not difficult for a LaFollette republi-
can logically to stand upon.
AS a matter of fact there is abund-
ant evidence that this is exactly what
the LaFollette republicans will do.
There is not single leader in the
state of any consequence who is open
ly supporting either Taft or Roosevelt.
Whatever republican activities there
may be, and there is not much of any
account, centers about the state cam
paign in which the issues are largely
local.
The democratic party in Wisconsin
is thoroughly organized, working in
harmony and with enthusiasm for Will
son. For years there have been many
counties in Wisconsin in which dem
ocratic county ticket has not even
been nominated and in which the or
ganization has been completely ne
elected. This year every county in the
state has nominated full democratic
ticket and there is an active fighting
Organization working for the success
of the party. Never since the days
when Governor Peak carried Wiscon-
sin by landslide has there been so
much enthusiasm and so marked dis
position on the part of everyone to get
out and hustle
Under these conditions no one who
knows the temper of the people of Wis
consin can say otherwise than that
Governor Wilson will carry the state
by handsome plurality.

and pathetic parts, and gripped the
audience hard
The play was, of course, especially
interesting to the Catholics, and they
were out in full force Father Van
Hulse was an interested spectator
But the lesson of the play is one that
no sect or creed could monopolize.
In fact, the lesson is the principal
feature of the play 1t could hardly
be classified as a realistic life-drama.
Considered as such, it would have SER
ious faults. The divine revelation to
Father Kelley at the close, of the
identity of the trouble-maker, and Ken
wood Wright's sudden conversion,
would be improbable and melo-dra-
matte in the last degree, if the play
were intended to be transcript from
life. But it rather belongs in the class
of morality plays, like Harold
Brownies "Everywoman" In spite of
the NATURALIZATION of the characters,
each one is primarily a symbol of
some quality or situation in life,
Father Kelley is the Love of God;
Kenward Wright is the serpent in
Eden; Bruce Milton and Vera are hui
manity struggling in the tolls of ignor-
ance and sin; and the final denoue-
ment is not the working out of prob
lem in human character and relation
ships, but the symbolized triumph of
the divine purpose in life.
The whole play made one realize
the mistake of those who consider the
theater and the church as antagonis-
tic forces. The primary purpose of
the theater, of course, is entertain
ment. But during a large part of it's
history, it has played an important
role in the moral and spiritual educa-
tion of tire people. In ancient Greece,
the dramas of Aeschylus, Sophocles
anu uilpluto NCi6 WIlllCn lOl PFC
sentation at the great religious fes-
tival of the Dionysia. In the Middle
Ages, the drama originated in the
theatrical representations of the re-
surrection in the churches on Easter
Eve, and developed through the mys-
terry, the miracle and the morality
plays to the superb healthfulness and
essential cleanness of the Shakes
pearan masterpieces.
"The Rosary is only one of many
plays showing a similar trend on the
stage today Moral and spiritual prob
lens are shown worked out in life.
Harold Brownies "Everywoman," Paid
in Full" The Melting Pot" and many
other plays which could be named,
leave the hearer a better man for at
tending the performance. And by the
way, Dan Myers has booked for later
in the season, a dramatization of Har-
old Bell Wrights "The Shepherd of the
Hills" The indications are, that the
winters program at the Grand will be
a benefit as well as pleasure to the
town.

paign against c. N. Haskell for the
gubernatorial nomination Cruce was
defeated, and about all Dunn got out
of the wreck was the injunction of the
aforesaid Haskell to go to hell" when
Dunn innoeently offered to shake
hands with him after the votes had
been counted, But Dunn fatty refused
to travel in that direction, and lived
to confuse his enemy, Statehood gave
him place on the supreme bench. He
was elected chief justice and is serv-
ing his second term
Will he be a candidate next time
for the democratic gubernatorial NOM
nation? Well, ask Dunn-or Will
liams. He would have quality of
backing that is put into artillery to
make the steel harder. He would
fight with smiles and humor where
other men fight with scowls and bill
lingsgate. He has a woman's heart
for kindness, but can hit from the
shoulder like a blacksmith when nee.
essary.
Really, this thing of having two
good men in the predicament of Will
liams and Dunn gets on ones nerves.
If they are going to run. why don't
they say so? Above all, Williams is
entitled to some consideration, be-
cause of all ailments insomnia prob
ably is the worst.

CLINT in his eve.


The fact that Williams once was a
Methodist minister, fervid in the faith
and florid in his denunciations of evil.
soothes not his heart in these latter
day of bugscufflers. He says that the
kafir corn woolies are not to be trust
ed
An Oklahoma City lawyer, describ-
ing the trials and tmbulations of a
man who had risen from the obscurity
of backwoods region, said he had
been raised on red birds and slip
perry elm" While Dunn probably was
able to beat this in his steady diet, yet
he had a powerful hard time He was
born in Illinois, lived in Mississippi
a long time after the civil war, and
was then exiled n western Kansas.
In the winter he lived ON prairie
chicken until he longed for death, and
in the summer he fought grasshoppers
until even at this day he can turn a
better handspring and jump further
than any other man in oklahoma. He
wandered down into southwestern
Kansas, landing at iugoton with a
stock OF merchandise which his father
had staked him, and became so in
terested in the county seat war be-
tween Hugoton and Woodsdale that
he shot up all the ammunition in
stock practicing with firearms, and
barely by the skin of his teeth missed
going with Sheriff Cross and the posse
who were killed in the Hay Meadow
massacre in No Mans Land"-he got
his horse, but could find no saddle and
dared not make the trip bareback.
Later he went gallavanting around
the country with Buffalo" Jones and
a bunch of brave lads from Dodge City
in kind of wild west performance
At that time he had no thought of
law and the state Of Oklahoma. But
Dunn followed the frontier, just as
prairie fire follows the grass, and it
was natural that he should come south
of the Arkansas.
When Dunn reached Alva he had
been admitted to the bar, and hung
up his shingle. offering his services to
anybody that was in trouble. About
1896 the Populist party began making
a big noise in old Woods county. This
breaking Of the primeval silence along
the turbid Salt Fort was music to
Bum, and he ran for county attorney,
ran like jack rabbit, and was elected.
His appearance during that campaign
was a cross between a man who had
been in railroad wreck and scare
crow in garden patch. He pattern
ed a costume to fit the occasion-an
old black alpaca coat, split in the
back. overalls, and a straw hat with
the crown off. But it set the grass on
fire and Dunn went under the wire
like fash of lightning.
From that day Dunn began doing
things in Oklahoma. He got aequaint-
ed with every man he met so well
that he knew him ever afterward He
could tell more stories with the bark
on than the man who wrote the thou
sand and one tales in the Arabian
Nights" His first big splash into ter
