Notice to Legal Votes in the City of

Notice to Legal Votes in the City of
Vinita.
On next Tuesday at the Primary
Election in the city there will be sub
mitted toyou ballot for you to decide
whether or not the City of vinita shall
purchase a new fire wagon with chem
ical equipment and hook and ladder
wagon with necessary equipments at
a cost of not to exceed Twenty-six hun
dred dollars.
The present fire wagon is about
ready to go to pieces three wheels are
dangerous an dthe City has not suffi-
cient ladders in case of fire to get into
second story windows of buildings. In
many instances with the new fire wa
gon with chemical apparatus fires
could be extinguished without the use
of water thereby saving much proper
| ty and it is necessary that the city
have adequate fire fighting equipment.
We are threatened now with a raise
in insurance premiums which would in
a very short time amount to more
than the cost of the two wagons asked
| for.
The method proposed for the pay
ment of this outfit is to use the money
from the fire and water fund out of
the income and revenue for the present
year A well kept fire department
with the equipment asked for will
soon save property owners more than
the cost of the equipment in the way
of preventing an increase in insurance
rates as well as affording the City the
protection to life and property that a
first class fire department affords.
Respectfully,
]. G. STARR,
Mayor.

cobras were chased by large birds.

Presently snake came out of the
nest and started to descend, with the
crow in hot pursuit pecking at the
cobra continually. The snake took
refuge about ten feet down In a
clump of dead ferns from which 1t

SCANDAL HEAPED ON SCANDAL.

oTa HE door has been opened for startling disclosures of poll
II tics in Pennsylvania that may completely dwarf the Lori
mel case and make the Standard Oil $4,000 check to
Senator Penrose look trivial by comparison. Pennsylvania has
always been distinguished for its corrupt politics. For years its
State as well as municipal governments have been under the
absolute control of men whose acts would put the worst kind of
government in New York to the blush. The State capitol at Har-
risburg represents $9,000,0 900 of graft, and the grafters were high
State officers. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, the two principal
cities, have been plundered, outraged and disgraced, and it was
only recently that reform there met with any success. What
was going on in the highest counsels of the Republican leaders
in control of the State the people could not see and did not
know. If the leaders had close relations with great corpora
tons like the Standard Oil Company the people could only sus-
interests for nomination or appointment the secret was closely
guarded. If senatorships were sold the public was none the
wiser. But there came a time when a vendetta was declared in
the State leadership and it was nursed until it became deadly
in its malignity. The expose of the $4,000 Standard Oil check
started a conflict that swept away all scruples. Baited by his
enemies and cornered by proofs, Penrose in his public acknowl-
edgment made the first disclosure. 1t was instantly matched by
astonishing statements by his assaiants, with assurances that
there were even greater scandals in reserve. The names of
Secretary of State Knox and Senator Oliver, of Pennsylvania,
are dragged into the mess. But distressing and humliahng
as all this is to every honest citizen, it is necessary to have it
dragged into the light and fully exposed, and it is well indeed
that a situation should have arisen in the politics of Pennsyl
vania to make a complete exposure possible.

yidual.
This was announced by Henry Nor

of Governor Wilson and the Demo-
cratic leaders. This was the limit set
IN contributions during the Bryan

Popular subscriptions, Mr.. Morgen-
thau said, are coming In in a salts
fatory maner. The funds are larger,
he declares, than at this time of the
year in any previous campaign.

he did yesterday in preparing speeches
and handling his correspondence. To-
day the Governor will receive Sen
ator-elect Ransde1l, of Louisiana, and
George Foster Peabody. of New York.

NO REAL PARCELS POST.

m FTER being in session nearly nine months Congress will
fA have presented the country with a parcels post scheme
that wasn't asked for and that is lamentably far short
of the public demands. Now, it was remarked not long ago
by a national legislator favorable to a real parcels post system
that there were four reasons why the American people should
not have one, and that these reasons consisted of the four COM
bined express companies. 1t is evident that these four reasons
have had more weight in Congress and with the administration
than the allpowerful and incontrovertible reasons offered for
q parcels post on the plan of those in Europe. The Interstate
Commerce Commission in its report showed how enormously the
express companies had robbed the people and how they con-
federated with the railroads in preying on the public. There
are to be some reductions of express rates, but these parasites
are to keep the cream of their business, the people are to be
denied the privileges common to the people of Europe and they
are given the least possible benfts. Can there be any wonder
that SO many people this year cry: "a plague on both of your
houses?o

ROOSEVELT HAS
SHIFTED GROUND
Wickersham Says Colonel
Tries to Belittle Work of
Own Administration.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23-Attorney.
General Wickersham has added an
other chapter to the controversy be-
tween him and Colonel Roosevelt
over the Wickersham trust prosecu-
tions. Commenting or the colonel's
latest u%tterance on the subject, given
at Wilkesbarre, Pa, Mr.. Wickersham
said.
MIR. Roosevelt attempts to mini
mize the value of the only real
achievement of his administration in
the enforcement of the Sherman law
by saying although we really did ac-
complish something the Northern
Securities case was one of the things
that convinced me that the anti
trust law by itself was absolutely
hopeless as a method of dealing with
the trust problem All of which
shows that Mr.. Roosevelt has shifted
his ground very materially since he
began his attempts to belittle the
work of this administration in en-
forcing the Sherman law"
