properly be constituted theft FOR
the reason that an UMBRELLA was legi-
innate plunder
The same seems to be the unwritten
law OF politics Technically. man
who adopts the profession of politics
should be as straightforward and as
ohnest as he would be in his walks OF
everyday business life But the very
atmosphere of the political world
causes a mans conscience TO become
relaxed and placid. His finer senses,
during the heat of the campaign, be
come atrophied He is fan who may
be held in the highest regard in his
community, he may be as clean as a
pipe-stem, in his way of living. He
may be correct and careful in business,
but once In the political game, he
winks at the fine lines of honesty. He
may not do things himself, but he
oyerlooks the fact that some one else
is uOluS JHcH
There was not many years ago in
the state of Tennessee certain cam
paign which involved the election OF a
Judge, a man so honest, so consistent,
so straightforward that he command
ed the respect of the community in
which he was candidate. The COM
mittee in charge of his campaign had
occasion to discuss financial ways and
means, and incidentally suggested that
the saloon men be asked to contri-
butte. There was little opposition to
this until some one asked, "Will they
contribute?" 1T is not a question of
whether they wish to or not; they
must" replied the chairman
During the discussion the candidate
had slipped from the room. He did
not wish to hear what he knew would
be necessary in order to secure his
election
This man was honest. but he was
held silent by the environment of the
game
Already the people of Maine and
Arkansas are protesting against fraud.
Yet fraud is always the cry Of the de-
feated.
There are no morals in politics.
Some professional politicians are
worse than others, some are better
than others, but it is warfare in
which the survival of the fittest is the
|undisputable rule, and all is fair in
love and war.-Commercial Appeal.

OKLAHOMA CAPITAL ROW.

With all of It's magnificent resources
with people as enterprising as any
on earth and with limitless opportuni-
ties for growth an dexpansion, Okla
homa is being sadly handicapped by
a yexing and unnecessary wrangle
over the state capital This wrangle
began long before statehood was ef-
fected, and has received fresh impetus
by the taking of the state offices away
from Guthrie and locating them in Ok
lahoma Citq. Today Oklahoma is en-
gagged in stormy campaign trying TO
decide whether the permanent capitol
building shall be erected in Guthrie
or in Oklahoma City And the bitter
ness engendered by this controversy
is not only delaying the construction
OF capitol and other state buildings
but is. stimulating Il sectional spirit
in the state which is injuring business
and retarding development.
While becoming the state capital
may be highly desirable to both Guth-
rie and Oklahoma City. such a dstIne-
tion is never essential to the proper
growth of any city The history of
American cities proves that In many
instances state capitals have had an
actually stagnating influence and il
practically every state there are Sew
eral larger and more important cities
than the seat of government. Certain
ly the capital is not essential to the
development of Oklahoma City, Here
lis splendid community that fairly
basks In good forune of various kinds
If there is any dependable logic ii
location Oklahoma City cannot be re-
tarded In its advancement. Possibly
it is better location for the state can
ital than Guthrie; it is not for an out
slider to express an opinion on that
point. but one fact stands out CON
spicuously in this contention and taat
is that the fight is doing neither civ
amy good and is probably doing the
state harm The voters of okiahomt
ought to take the matter in hand aal
settle it so that the work Of erecting
a suitable capitol may so forward and
the bitter sectional pealousies and
chickering's end forever. Kansas City

He Couldn't Talk.

At Carnegie Music Hall in Pftts>
burgh one day an old gentleman was
pointed out to a girl, with the infor-
nation that he had once met the
great composer, Rossini. The girl
was musical enthusiast and she
became greatly excited. She sought
an introduction TO the old gentleman.
II am told that you once met the
great composer. Rossini." she cried.
YES" said the old man. II met him
once"
"You met the great composer OF
William Tell?"
"The same"
How grand! How very romantiel
And would you please tell me- what
Rossinl had to say?"

THE WILSON HOME.


The home life of the Wilson family
is simple, natural, and in its mutual
devotion very beautiful Mrs Wilson
is pretty woman of gentle and charm
ing manners, with a most attractive
voice and accent which readily be-
speak her Southern birth, and though
woma nof motherly instincts who
personally superyises the happiness of
her family and the care of her home,
she is an artist of pronounced ability
and distinction whose work has re-
ceiyed generous recognition. 1t re-
quires no power of prophecy to say
that as the First Lady of the Land and
Mistress of the White House, she
would win place in the hearts OF the
American people which would make
her remembered as is Dolly Madison.
The governor is very fond of children.
He was reviewing the inaugural pa
rade at Trenton year ago last aut-
umn and IN front OF one Of the march
ing companies there was little chap,
about five years 0 fage, with bloom
ing red cheeks, and brlck-red hair,
dressed In a military uniform and
carrying an American flag. When he
reached the reviewing stand he snap
ped the flag to a position of salute
with as much precision as any officer
in the line and marched yaliantly on.
The governor was delighted and fas-
cinated with the child and kept watch
ing him far into the distance and en-
tirely oblivious of the officers and com
panies that were passing by in review
Turning to his secretary. he said,
"Tumulty, di you see that boy?" "Yes,

brick-red hair?" "Yes," said the go7-
ernor, "and | always remember that

MORALS AND POLITICS.

There are no morals in politics. The
man who expects to find them had
better apply himself. like Diogenes,
and first look for the honest man. 1t
is said that God flaees the stamp OF
innocence on the brows of all men and
women whom he expects to make his
future angels They will not be found
in politics.
A man may be scrupulously honest
in affairs of business and in the affairs
OF life, but. somehow, in politics there
is a license extended which seems to
cover a multitude of sins

PRINTING ONCE IN DIsFAvoR
Followers Of the Art Have Been
Known to Explate Their "crImes"
on the GaIlows.

On the 18th Of July, 1860, Martin
Lhomme, one of two who were hanged
In the Place Maubert by the decree
of the parliament, suffered because he
had published writing entitled
"Epistre enyoyee au tigre de Ia
France" CA letter directed against the
Tiger Of France, satire directed
against the cardiral of Lorraine, then
all powerful. which had probably been
imprinted at Basle In Switzerland, or
atrasburg, Germany. The culprit, ao-
cording to the historian De Thou, was
q poor little bookseller, native OF
Rouen. While he was waiting at the
gibbet, says Charles Winslow Hall in
the National Magazine, one Of his fell
low countrymen, coming into Paris on
business, saw him on his way and
recognized him. "Then," says Regnier
de la Planche, mot knowing why he
was condemned to death, he alighted
from his horse at nelghboring hos
telry, and, seeing the people very
angry against the unfortunate man.
cried to them, ''Eh. what, my friends,
is 1t not enough that he dies? Leave
him to the executioner Would you
like to torment him more than his SEN
tence demands?' They considered the
Norman's pity misplaced. He was
forthwith arrested, judged and hanged
four days later without any form of
process in the same fatal Place Mau-
bert"

cording to Professor Gar
rett P. serviss.

On the deck OF La Provence. at the
beginning OF an old-fashioned ocean
Journey tor a summer in France. Gar
rett P. Serviss, the well known as
tronomer, talked seriously of an air
ship service to the moon which he
believes the future has in store for
man.
Il begin to think seriously. but not
too seriously, now that we have
achieved the navigation OF the air by
mechanical means, that there only re-
mains the necessity of providing air
to exist upon and things to eat for
man to go to the moon." he said.
But we have got to have a new
motive force. Electrical propulsion
begins to hint what that force will be
when men fly from planet to planet.
You understand we have got to over
come gravity and there are only two
forces which overcome gravity under
certain conditions-pressure of light
and electricity.
so | say that the first flying ma
chine to the moon will be based on
the principle OF the pith ball that
flies away from the conductor OF an
electrical machine. When this has
been accomplished there only remains
to be done what modern chemistry
certainly can achieve; that is. to fill a
strong vessel, a spherical vessel. with
enough air and food to sustain man
during the flight This Is not so ridic.
ulous as 1t may seem, and the modern
achievement Of flying Is step in that
direction"
Incidentally Prof Serviss does not
believe there are any inhabitants on

doesn't allow for the fact that Mars
is too small to retain an atmosphere.
Human beings could not remain on
Mars because there probably is not
enough oxygen and nitrogen on that
planet. The gravitative force IL too
small to retain an atmosphere. The
atmosphere flies away. Those lines
called canals are no doubt a natural
phenomenon. Notwithstanding the fact
that they look artificial. Their ex-
istence Is due to the fact that Mars
is very fiat planet. There are no
mountains there, and waters spread
out in every direction and form con-
Meeting lines. The drainage system
runs in every direction and gives that
checkered appearance of criss-cross-
ing canals"

and prices are lower than last week.
On the whole, however, there is not
much change in the meat market.
Lamb is scarcer and will be somewhat
higher for the best cuts. Beef is in
good demand and there is fine supply
of the better grades. The markets
show fine display of the incest steaks
and beef roasts. Prices of beef are
the same as last week. Of poultry
there will be a good supply at from 20
cents to % cents pound. Fancy

There is a good supply of most veg
etables on the stands and the prices

and will find them to be Of excellent
quality. Onions are fine. Sweet po-
tatoes very good and cabbage, brus-
sells sprouts and fresh lettuce all look
fine and crisp.
Eggs will be the same price, 30
cents dozen, for the western selecte:;
grade, while fresh country guaranteed
eggs bring DO and 45 cents. Fruits,
such as fine juicy Florida oranges ans!
Florida grape fruit, are plentiful,
oranges costing from p to so cents
