RATS ATE HER
BABE TO DEATH
She Went, With Friend to Another

Muskogee, Okla, Dec 6.-The three
weeks old baby of Mrs. Gladys Davis
came to its death by being eaten by
some small animal, probably a rat
and by the negligence of its mother
Gladys Davis" coroner's jury de
cided yesterday afternoon at an in.
quest held over the body of the child
that was found lacerated and bleeding
in its bed at o'clock yesterday morn
ing when the mother returned to her
room in the Elite hotel, 1913 North c
street And last night at an autopsy
held by w. E. Disney, county attor-
ney, and five physicians, it was de
eided that the death of the child re-
suited from the bites of small animals,
but not from a cat as some had
thought.
The inquest and the autopsy were
held in connection with the informa-
tion issued by Disney and his assist
ant, Theo Liyscomb, against the
mother, charging her with man
slaughter in the second degree under
slaughter may be charged wherever
death occurs from the culpable negli-
gence of someone. Mrs. Davis was
at the inquest, but decided not to
testify, after she had been told that
anything she might say would be used
against her. She was arraigned yes
terday afternoon in a justice court and
released on bond for her appearance.
Part of the time that the rats were
attacking her small baby Mrs Davis
was in the city jail. She was arrested |
with woman who gave her name as
Edith Sweeney, as the two were COM

taken to the police station They
were released about half an hour later
on bond.
John Myers testified at the inquest t
that he was with the two women at
10 O'Clock and that he was called to
the police station at 4:3O to get them
out on bond. Edith Sweeney the
companion of Mrs. Davis, told also of
the visit to the Kentucky hotel Mrs
Davis went directly home after she

At the present time the state officials
and the civil service commission are en-
joying a Bryan-Harmon fight over the
payment Of the employees in the state in
stitutions. The last legislature refused to
appropriate any money for the civil service
commissioner. The commission refuses
to o. X. salary rolls until its own expens-
es are paid. The auditing board appro-
priated few hundred dollars to meet
those expenses. Treasurer Kenehan re-
fuses to pay this money on the ground
that had the legislature wanted it paid it
would have appropriated it. The law
forbids the payment of any salaries not
o. KID by the civil service commission,
In number of towns where state insti-
tutions are located, the banks have paid
the pay-rolls. supposing that they would
go through the same as usual. Instead,
the vouchers were returned marked mo
funds" and the banks are urging payment
either from the state or from the employees
whose salaries they advanced.
Just another illustration of Democratic
busi ness methods.

Demands are coming from all over the
state for presidential primaries. The state
central committee refused to order
them on the occasion Of toe committse
meeting, but now demands are being
made to the various county chair
men. There are two kinds of primaries
being discussed. One, the direct
primary wherein votes will be cast direct
for the nominee for the presidency. The
other. is to allow each precinct to nomin :
ate Taft. LaFollette. Cummings
and a Roosevelt delegation to the county
convention. Then allow the Republicans
Of each precinct to elect the delegation
they desire to represent them in the con-
vention. The chances are that both plans
will be used throughout the state.
Both sides say they are not afraid to GO
to bat on primaries either way. But both
sides are sparring for their particular way
to 60 to bat.

Be A Republican

For the success of anygreat movement
the application of true principles in public
life, 1t is necessary to have organization.
A mob is never successful against much
smaller well organized army. This truth
i. the reason for organized political
parties.
Without some fundamental principle to
strive for. there can be no permanently
successful party organization.
The Republican party was originally
organized to prevent the spread of slave
ry; to restrict that institution and to
place it in the way of ultimate extinction
to place human rights forever above and
prior to property rights.
We of the progressive element Of the
Republican party believe that we truly
stand for these fundamental principles
Of the fathers of the party. But for the
unfortunate fact that the reactionary
faction of the party has obtained
control of the party organization in the
state. we world use no adjective to
qualify our republicanism. True republic
cdnlsm means progress.
On this ground. that we are the real Re-
publicans, the real thing. we appeal to the
voters of the party. We believe that nine
tenths of the voters are at heart in full
sympathy with US. Only by the force Of
the mighty corporation influence in
matters social and political. and by the
neglect Of the average voter who has
personal affairs to look after has the
present small "stand-pat" faction OBJ
tanned control.
We are not in this struggle for any one
candidate for any office; we are not ask
ing that we be given the Post Offices OF
the land. or positions as sheriffs or what
not, we are striving to restore the party
to its old principles. Whether our platform
lsee last weeks Enterprise for the plat
form stands for the welfare of the people
the placing of human rights above and
prior to property rights" we ask you to
Judge.
As compass and guide IN judging or
platform we would suggest a study of
Lineoln's writing. Read his debate with
Douglas, his Cooper Institute speech. and
others of his papers. All of these can
be found at the Library.
No one dares question Lincolns repub-
icanism, No one but admits that Lincoln
was one of the wisest statesmen of all
time. We ask to be judged by his teach
ings and not by the rantings of the mis-
named Denver Republican.
We are for government ''of the people,
by the people and FOR the people"

And yet take it that Mr.. Roosevelt is
entirely sincere. He wants to be good

That would be horrid. But democrat
with little d and big R. He is not to

democrats, and you can't tell at which
end to put the capital letter on them.

But they are out of place there. and
everybody who knows them intimately
knows it. We may sort these two kinds
of people up into parties and call them

but when they are all tried-out they are

Some people seemed to think that
Theodore was troubled about whether
his party wanted him or not. That was
not the case. He just wanted to know
how many of the people wanted him. 1t
didn't make any difference to Teddy
about the party in Chicago in 1904.
1t simply hal to take him. OF course he
knows that a man rarely holds the
same hand twice. And if he does the
tricks may be played to him differently.
But this time they can have him if they
want him, His political enemies have
badgered him to be more explicit-to
come out of the woods, as they express
ed it, A good many of his political
friends seemed to be looking for him.
He has simply put himself where all of
them can find him. Nothing inconsistent
about that. What he said the night after
his election in 1904 was just plain no
tice to the professional politicians and
the vested interests that they needn't
try to put any next term strings on him.
Theodore has not had two terms yet
only one and piece of another. And that
piece. why he was just trying to hold
himself down to McKinley's time-serv-
ing gate. He didn't let himself out till
the people endorsed him.

By the Contributing Editor.

1 have been thinking for some time of
writing an open Letter" to our Theo-
dore; but on mature consideration it
seems hardly worth while. In the first
place he isn't on the Enterprise sub
scription list; and if he did get it don't
suppose he would take the trouble to
answer it. Most of those open letters
that Carrie Nation wrote him on the
front page of her paper, more than like
ly went unanswered. Theodore is one of
the fellows who does not take kindly to
advice. He would much rather give it.

In that Ohio convention speech find
less support for my contention that our
ex-president is of retiring nature. 1t
is only given to few orators to be an
ultra radical at one end of paragraph
and an ultra conservative at the other.
Most men of note are unwise enough to
stand on either one end of the plank or
the other. Theodore has the art of tipping
the plank till it all but touches the
ground, and then running back to the
centre so quick that nobody seems to
catch him at it. ,hat is what l would
call the graceful art of retiring; done to
a finish. 1t is after the manner of Mark
Antony's these are all honorable men,"
and done with about equal fnesse. Now
he has the crowd about where he wants
us. The American electorate doesn't diff
fer so much from that crowd that as
sembled in the Roman Forum. Theo-
dore probably discovered this when he
came up the New York harbor from his
African hunting trip. Nobody knew
what it was all about, but they threw
up their sweaty night caps jtst the same.
