scribe the greatness Of the present
civilization TO the Bible
You will find that civilization has
progressed in spite of the Bible and
that the nationalist in every age has
stood for the rights Of man. and in
this connection allow me to say that
we as Americans should never utter
the name of Thos. Paine without a
feeling of reverence, as it was his pen
that first wrote these words The
United States of America"
For an example of the civilization
of the Bible the Dark Ages loom up
in letters of blood. Thousands of peo-
pie were murdered in the name of the
merciful Christ; but the dawn came
with 1916 when there appeared three
independent thinkers in the United
States, Franklin, Jefferson and Thos.
Paine. and following them Huxley,
Darwin, Fisk, Beecher, Swing, Whit
man, Emerson, and many others until
now we have a man at the head of
these United States, President Taft, a
Unitarian, who denies the divinity OF
Christ, but believes in the divinity of
man, OBSERVER.

belt drive. It says:
The power required to drive the
line shafting and belts in factory
where the motive power is all in one
source is about equal to the power re-
quired to drive all the machines in the
shop at their maximum output; that
is, if all the tools working simultan-
eously at maximum output require 100
H. p. the belts and shafting will re-
quire about 100 II. P. more and this
power. which is all lost in friction,
must be supplied all the time. even
though only a few of the machines
are working. On the other hand, if, in
the same shop, each tool is equipped
with motor, only about AS II. P. will
be lost in transmission from the mo-
tive power of the dynamo to the tools
when they are all working at maxi
mum output; that is, 143 II. p. is con
lsumed and 100 II. p, or 40 per cent
of this is supplied to the tools, against
50 per cent with belts and shafting.
But, in machine-shop work, it is found
that so many machiges are always
idle or working on light load that only
about 30 per cent of the total capacity
of all the machines is in use at the
same time; that is, the load factor is
approximately 30 per cent, With line
shafting and belts, the total power
Supplied to the shop is then lS0 Fl. p.
of which 80 II. p, or 20 per cent, is
used by the tools; with individual mo
tor drive, the losses decrease approx
Iimately as the load. At 30 per cent
load, the loss would be 30 per cent OF
43 II. p. or 13 H. p, and the total
lpower is 43 II. p, of which 30 H. p.
or 20 per cent. is used In other words
the individual motor drive, under or
binary working conditions, is more
than three times as efficient as the
line shaft and belt drive.
However, it would not usually be
economical to install small motor

FOR BOB GALBRAITH
TULSA MAN SPEAKS

Tulsa. Okla, Feb, Is. r. Lewis,
Tulsa county member of the state cen
tral committee, democratic, in view of
reports that he denied all connection
with the Galbreath campaign, today
made the following statement:
Il am not Robert Galbreaths cam
paign manager, have never been, but
/ am his ardent supporter in his can
didacy for democratic national COM
mitteeman. believe him to be a
splendid man for the position for the
following reasons
He is loyal party worker, and has
always been; and he is liberal con
.tributor to campaign funds.
He entered the campaign after ur-
gent solicitations by many democrats
throughout the state and with assur-
ance from the friends of Tate Brady
that Mr. Brady would not be a'candi-
date to succeed himself
Mr. Galbreath offered to submit
his candidacy to a county primary to
determine who should be the Tulsa
county candidate.
Mr. Galbreath was and still is
strongly opposed to the seating of
James NJ Guffey as national commit
teeman from Pennsylvania.
Mr. Brady has repudiated the dem
ocratic principle of the primary, in
which all good democrats believe, and
voted in the national committee to
seat Guffey, who was earnestly oppos
ed by William Jennings Bryan for well
known reasons"

LOSES DAMAGE SUIT
AGAINST The KATY

Muskogee, Okla, Feb. Campbell
Russell lost his s2,5OO damage suit
against the Katy railroad in the fed
eral court here Thursday. Judge
Campbell instructed the jury to bring
in a verdict in favor of the railway
company Russell suffered his alleged
damage in 1906, but has been so busy
on matters of state that the case never
came to trial until yesterday Russell
alleged that he boarded the Katy Flyer
at Dallas armed with a ticket to Che
cotah. He was informed that the Katy
did not stop at Checotah and at Nc
Alester, he says, he was rudely elected
from that train after he had told the
conductor that the agent who sold him
the ticket told him the train stopped
at Cheeotah.

THIRD DISTRICT

Effort Will Be Made to Secure En-
dorsement For Priestly For Ma
tionaI Committee.

Muskogee, Okla. Feb. Eight
hundred and seventy-four delegates,
the largest number ever assembled in
a congressional district convention in
the United States, will meet in Tulsa
on March fifth in response to the call
of William S. Cochran, chairman Of
the Third Oklahoma congressional dis
trict, to elect delegates to the republi-
can national convention.
If Ed Perry thought that his call for
the Fourth district convention recent
ly held in Coalgate and the first to be
called in the United States, would
bring him fame, the same claim can
be made by Chairman Cochran, in
whose call it is proposed that for
every twenty-five electors who par
ticipated in the last election for a Sec
retary of state there shall be one dele
gate to the congressional convention.
Furthermore, there are to be no alter
mates. Every delegate who finds him.
self unable to attend the convention
must give his written proxy to re-
publican elector from his county, who
can hold but one proxy.
II Perry had an idea that his conyen-
ton was to be a Roosevelt conven-
tion," Cochran's Third district conVen-
ton carries even better promise OF
being one. And L. G. Disney, an ardent
Roosevelt supporter, although he has
stated he is out of politics, will exer-
else controlling influence in the con
yention. Disney and Cochran have
been preparing the call for two days
and for two weeks past Disney has
been in almost constant consultation
with prominent Roosevelt republicans
from all over the state, who look fol
hi INTO lead the fight for Roosevelt in
the convention and throughout the
state.

The Growth of Electricity.

The elimination of waste is the
problem which every modern business
man is trying to solve Man has learn
ed how to generate gigantic power by
the use of running water, steam and
gas, but much of it has hitherto gone
to waste on account of the difficulty
of subdiyiding it. When only one or
two machines in a factory are in use,
it is often necessary to expend enough
power to drive every machine in the
shop. Until the development Of elee-
trio generators and motors it was inn
possible to subdiyide power, except by
the use of separate engines, which
made the cost prohibitory. Electricity
has proved that 1t can divide power
as can nothing else.
The rapid growth of the use of cleo
tricity is evidenced by the fact that
of the hundreds of thousands of stu
dents who have taken courses at the
International Correspondence School
at Scranton, Pa, 225,070 have taken
courses in electrical engineering as
against l267SS who have taken
courses in mechanical engineering and
124,045 who have taken courses in
steam engineering. The Electrical En-
gineers' Handbook published by that
institution points out that the indi-
vidual motor drive. under ordinary
working conditions, is more than three
times as efficient as the line shaft ant

Exports of Manufactures From United
states. Calendar Year 1911.

GNpOibS VI WI didi aStNtSo 'S'N O''eSN
States, Calendar Year 1911.
More than a billion dollars worth of
manufactures passed out of continen-
tai United States in the calendar year
1911. The estimate of the bureau of
statistics of the Department of Com
merce and Labor made some weeks
ago, that the total value of manufac-
lures sent to foreign countries and
the non-contiguous territories of the
United States in 1911 would aggregate
more than one billion dollars, is JUS
titled by figures just received by that
bureau showing in detail the foreign
commerce of the year They give as
the total value of manufactures sent
to foreign countries in the year end
ing December 81, 1911, $964,77S, ,96S;
to Porto Rico, $21,S61,137 and to
Hawaii, $15,SS775S, making total of
81, ,o01 ,972, 1868 as the value of manu-
factures passing out of continental
United States last year.
The figures of manufactures sent
out of the country last year include
both finished manufactures ready for
consumption and manufactures for fur
'ther use in manufacturing. Of manu-
factures ready for use the total ex-
portation was $40 million, and Of man
ufactures the product of one industry
to be used as materials in other indus
tries, 325 million dollars.
Exports OF manufactures from the
United States have more than doubled
in ten years, and quintupled in twenty
years. In 1891 they aggregated 1870
million dollars; in 1901, 447 million;
and in 1911, 964A million dollars, or,
1902 million if we include shipments
to Porto Rico and Hawaii, foreign
countries in 1891.
Four leading articles of domestic
manufacture Gron and steel, copper
mineral OIL and wood) supply over
half the entire expectations of manu-
factures fro mthe country, and to them
the gain of over 500 million dollars in
ten years is largely due. The record
of our foreign trade in these articles
during the last 20 years is set forth
in the following table:

Whence cometh Civilization.

To the Editor of the Chieftain:
Captain White, your associate edi-
tor, who is an authority on a great
number of matters, and who has been
writing very readable articles on a
range of subjects in your paper re-
cently, varying from How to Make
a Fortune on the Swamp Lands of
Texas" to successful "Rat-Terrier Pup
Culture" has very clever article in
Yesterdays Chieftain giving his rea-
sons for believing the Bible.
Without desiring in any manner to
question the Captains beliefs, or cast
any reflections on his peculiar methods
of reasoning, want to ask the Cap
tain few pointed questions.
l ask Captain White to state over
his signature whether or not the
Bible was and is inspired? Does he
believe that God upheld the institu-
tions Of Polygamy and Slavery?
DO you believe Captain White, that
God commanded Joshua to assassinate
babes in the cradle? Do you believe
that the Infinite taught a belief in
witchcraft?
Do you believe that the Bible teaches
equality for women?
Do you believe that God commanded
father to put his son to death for
disobedience?
Do you believe in the account OF
creation as given in Genesis, and II so
how do you account for grass growing
before the sun was made?
DO you believe that the God Of the
Bible is a God of Mercy? If so, how
do you reconcile your belief with this
passage. q will make my arrows
drunk with blood and my sword shall
devour flesh. Thy foot may be dipped
in the blood of thine enemies?'
! Do you believe Captain White thai
the Ruler of the Universe caused the
Sne-DeaTS To tear AOi itJ-eoo SiAAANi ~
because they made light of the fact
that prophet was bald-headed?
DO you believe that the three com
mandments given to Noah after the
food did anything toward the grea'
civilization that you are pleased tC
give the Bible the entire credit for?
l trust that you will have time tC
give us an unequivocal answer to the
queries propounded without the usua
pious evasion or the very speciou'
Mother" argument.
After all Captain, how fortunate i
is that we have not followed the teach
ings of our mothers, for If we had, yol
would doubtless be living in cave
in the banks of Bull creek and tomor
row morning would be armed with
stone out hunting snake for your din
ner.
In conclusion, would urge you Il

Breeding Over Your Worries Won't
Tighten the Burden.
II is the duty of mankind, even In
depressing circumstances, to strive TO
be cheerful. 1t is the general BELIEF
that II man is not naturally light
hearted lie cannot make himself so.
Yet this is far from being the case.
and there is many a man who Is at
present weary burden to bis rela-
tives, miserable through the carking
care Of some bodily ailment perhaps or
some worldly misfortune, who. II he
had grown up with the idea that to
be cheerful in all circumstances was
Que of the first duties OF life, might
still see a pleasant enough world round
him.
The worries of morose person will
shorten his days, and the general JUS
tice Of natures arrangement provides
that his early departure should entail
no long regrets.
On the other hand, the man who can
laugh keeps his health. To the per-
fectly healthy laughter comes often.
Too commonly. though, as childhood Is
left behind, the habit fails, and half
smile is the most that visits the
thought lined mouth of Il modern man
or woman. People become more and
more burdened with the accumulations
Of knowledge and with the weighty re-
sponsibilities of life, but they should

Vermont Appreciates Good
Roads

One noticeable feature in connection
with the returns from the town meet
ings throughout Vermont was the pre-
valence of such items as these; "Voted
$500 for special road work." "Voted
$500 for permanent road work." etc.
The frequency with which the items
have appeared in the reports of the
meetings is an indication of an awaken
ed progressive spirit which appreciates
the value of good roads, as well as the
comfort of them. As a result of these
appropriations to match the money
which the state highway department
stands ready to give, the good roads
movement is bound to get big impetus
during the coming few years, aud the
roads of the state are likely to become
as good as any in the country, outside
of the large cities. In the vicinity of
Barre and Montpelier, the spirit seems
to have taken hold securely.-Barre
