Washington, Dec. 9.-lheodore Roose
welt may engage in another hunting
expedition, this time in the wilds OF
South America.
The president of Brazil recently sent
cordial invitation to the colonel to
visit his country, enjoy the hospitality
which he and other distinguished
Brazilians would be glad to offer, and
then proceed up the Amazon river and
into the wilderness where big game
abounds.
The Colonel in his reply expressed
regret that he could not at this time
accept the invitation. He pointed out
that he would be occupied for some
time in the organization or the pro.
gressive party but, if possible, he
would go to Brazil next summer.
Should Colonel Roosevelt visit Brazil
he undoubtedly will lead an expedition
similar to that of which he was the
head in Africa.

The Bathgate Pink Paper has it fig.
ured out that F. o. Hellstrom made a
phenomenal showing as candidate for
governor in the late campaign. Not
such phenomenal showing, either,
Bro. Wilson, when you consider that
the state has lad a democratic cover.
nor for the past six years, and also that
Wilson, your distinguished and lucky
namesake, carried the state. The fact
of the matter is that Hellstrom "fell
down on the job" and only the fact
that he is candidate for the office OF
U. S. marshal, to succeed Jim Shea,
prompts you to attempt to make out a
case for him. Politically speaking,
Hellstrom is lucky to be alive. And it
remains to be seen whether or not he
really is alive.

The farewell to President Taft wa.
touchingly conveyed in the verses Gu
titled con the Ohio" set to the music
of moonlight Bay"
Then the scene changed to the Orient
and the Battle of Armageddon was
fought in realistic style, as described
by half dozen war correspondents for
for the benefit of old Saul, who had
come TO the scene of his early con.
ficts.
Correspondent Lodge reported that
Field Marshal Dixon had moved
! down Field Marshal McCoombs with
a harvester machine. McCoombs had
poured a hot statement into Field
Marshal Hilles and Hilies had hit
Dixon with some majority claims.
Midshipman Clifford Pinchot. aid ia
General Perkins, reported that the
general needed ammunition and had
sent him for . fountain pen to write
a check. What Saul supposed to be a
horse turned ont to be bull moose.
and the two men hanging, on his flank
Adam Bede and John Harlan, were said
to be the "Truth Tellers.'' edo they
tell the TRUTH" inquired Saul. To
which correspondent Champ Clark re
replied, essay, Mister, you re not .
king, you re the court jester"
Fresh from the battlefield on his
horse, Correspondent Watterson re.
ported that as he left the field. the
democrats of the house were trying
to arrange the tariff schedules, "and
the carnage was frlghtrul. Through
his glasses Saul dscerned the general
on the bull moose, dashing towards the
large genersl seated on the putting
green followed by the tennis cabinet.
Sauls' inquiry as to the identity of the
nine mensurrounding Taft was answer
ed by the explanation that they were
his cabinet "who will get into the bat.
tie after it is over.' What was at tirst
supposed to be "the dawn of day.
turned out to be Col. Jim Ham Lewis
and IN "engine Of war" to Sauls' an
Gent eye was only Gov. Hiram John
son. Even his old friends "Joan of
Arc" was really Albert j. Beveridge
disguised as 'Mary of the vine-clad
Cottage.
The action progressed until the bull
moose and its followers were fleeing
and the man with the golf stick was
preparing to leave the green. The
battle was soon over and Saul started
post haste for Washington to seek
a job, declaring that he had been a
"life-long democrat since the battle

Washington, Dec. s.-The annual re.
port Of Secretary of War Stimson takes
hard rap at the doctrine of indepen-
dence of the PHILIPPINES. The report
declares that the people of the islands
are utterly unprepared for autonomy.
Other matters Of interest touched on
in the report are terms of enlistments,
which the report says SHOULD be short
ened, and the question of canteens, Mr..
Stimson declaring that it is his opinion
that anti-canteen legislation is respon.
sible for much of the vice among the
enlisted men. The report has created
something of sensation.

COURT QuIBBLNG.

The press of the country has been
discussing the iniquities and delays in
court trials, with view of bringing
about such reforms as will tend to
assure speedy trials and guarantee JUS
tice.
A few days since, there was legal
hanging in Texas which took place on
the eigth anniversary of the murder.
er's crime, there having been seven
trials, seven convictions, and seven
reversals.
All kinds of quibbling and technical
tiles were employed to reverse the case
but finally not even by speck could
be discovered and the last conviction
had to stand.
The prisoner had become so annoyed
over the long fight that he was moved
to declare that he preferred to "be
hanged to death instead of tried to
DEATH"
As all Inc blame for the delays can
not be put on the courts or the coun-
sci, it must be admitted that the fault
to some extent lies with the legal and
accepted rules Of procedure, though it
may be admitted tina THE technicali.
ties and bubbles are sometimes too
seriously considered by some of the
frial judges.
A news dispatch few days since
told of how Judge Carpenter quashed
the indictment against Armour & Co.,
and Fred Oppenheimer under the meat
inspection act because the word
"transport" in the Indictment should
have read "shipped.
Here is where the useful techni.
cality got in it's work in great shape,
demonstrating that while it might be
a violation to "ship" it would not be
. violation to transport" and that a
man might do one and dare not do
the other. al. -: ,...
1t is said that the courts of Okla.
homa do not countenance bubbles and
technicalities, but rely on the law, GOO.
judgment and common sense, always
having in view equity and justice. Ac.
cording to report a technicality in the
courts of Oklahoma gives lawyer nc
advantage whatever as the judges are
able to spot technicality placed in
the record for delay or undue advant,
Age and that it has no weight with
them.
It would probably be wise ii the
courts Of the other states would follow
the practice Of the courts in the infant
state of Oklahoma and avoid bubbles
and technicalities, to the end tina,
speedy justice may come to all lit.
