REV. ]. L. KELLER.

The death of Rev. j. l.. Keller which
occurred Sunday at McLoud in this
state removes from Oklahoma one of
the most useful men of the state. He
was engaged in missionary work for
the Baptsts, but he was too big and
broad and consecrated and useful to
belong to any one creed. 1t was our
good pleasure to know him before he
entered the ministry, it has been our
good fortune to have him as pastor,
it has been our privilege to get close
to him in private life and learn his
ideas and to feel the cheerfulness and
good influence of association with
him. He reared large family and
besides, adopted several other chill
drcn, and he, and his good wife who
survives him, supported the family
and have done IA Christian work that
is not surpassed in the state. In his
last annual report to the state asso-
citation he showed more conversions
than any other missionary in the field
in this state, he showed more ser
mons preached more churches and
homes visited and showed the work
to have been done at the least eX-
pcnse His religion was one of good
works and cheerfulness. lie never
complained or found fault with 9th
ers. His battles were against sin and
for promotion of love for humanity
He has been removed from his work
at the zenith of his strength Had he
been spared, there would have been

WAS VERY UNFAIR.

The Ardmoreite published Sunday
morning an editorial taken from the
Hugo Husonian without giving prop
er credit. It was unfair to the HUI
sonian and was very unfair to Co.
Sidney Suggs, president of the Ard
moreite Company. We have tried to
be modest in our own columns in
Col. Suggs' candidacy for the Unit
ed States senate, but the error we
made in our own office would make
the opposite appear. Following is
the editorial published, which should
have been given credit to the HUI
sonian of Hugo:
After all some of those editors
who belaborel Col Sidney Suggs be-
cause he announced for United States
senator may have time to reflect.
The men mentioned for the senate
are Gore, SMggs, Murray and Stew
art. OF these men Suggs is the only
one of them who Is certain to carry
his own county in senatorial race.
He may run last in that race, bat
Carter county will stay with the
colonel In fact Carter county is a
staying proposition when it comes
to backing home folks for office.
With all of Senator Cores strength
abroad. it is a we'll known fact that
Comanche county has never been any
too loud in support of the blind man
and II is likely he has not gained
in strength this time, because OF
Iatronae woes. Murray can carry
Johnston county if he works at the
Iob. and Stewart can carry Garfield,
but since there was any voting be
ing done in the Cherokee strip no
one ever heard Of Gartield's democ-
racy being united in any one move
ment. Truly the senatorial situa
tion in Oklahoma is strange and
grows more SO as the days pro
gress."

SENATORS IN MINE.

In this weeks issue of Golfers a
photograph is published of State Sen.
ators Fred Il. Tucker of Ardmore and
T. F. Meminger of Atoka standing at
entrance to a coal mine and in the
garb of the coal miners. Last summer
when the coal mining bill was re-
ferred to the people, these two SEN
ators wanted more information con
corning coal mining, they wanted to
ascertain at first hand information
that would guide their votes in the
election as well as better equip them
for service to the people in the sen
ate, and they spent several days min
ing coal and working in different de-
partments TO acquaint themselves with
the needs of the miners and to better
the duties of the operators.

JUDGMENT AFFIRMED.
Criminal Court of Appeals Affrms
Decision in Oce Jones Case.

Oklahoma City, Nov. I'm affirm
ing a judgment of the district court
OF Carter county. which found Oce
Jones guilty of larceny Of domestic
animals and sentenced him to ten
years in the penitentiary, the Grim
NAL court of appeals Saturday held
that the repeal of a statute by the
legislature between the commitment
of the crime and the trial does not
prevent the prosecution of the case
under the old law. This was the
main contention of the defense ami
was grounds for a demurrer in the
lower court which was overruled
The crime was committed in Janu-
airy of 1871 but the prosecution was
not commenced until the following
August In the interim the legis-
lature repealed the statute relat-
ing to the crime OF larceny of do
nestle animals. The defense de-
murred on the grounds that the ac-
cused could not be tried under the
old statute.

What Pat Needed.

The conversation turned TO Pat in
a Washington club some time since
when Congressman Henry A. Cooper
of Wisconsin was reminded of how an
esteemed citizen Of that state got
tangled up in a recent railroad wreck.
When the smoke had cleared away
and the wreck, which wasn't very
serious affair, was pulled apart, Pats
friends found him sitting beside the
track holding his head in one hand
and his leg in the other, said mem
bers, Of course, not being detached.

party in Maine. In fact he has
been striving for it for several
years, but the opportunity has new

Longevity of Women

women live longer than men, nor is the
feminine advantage in longevity a mat
tertof a few months, or even years. The
difference is one OF almost third.
Thus. the average death for women an

is seventy. and for men bare fifty.
Another company has several centen-

WHAT | SAW IN AMERICA
BY SIR THOM AS OLIVER

(Sir Thomas Oliver, the foremost au-
thority in Great Britain on hazardous
trades, is an author of established
standing on occupational diseases and
was formerly the medical expert of the

Exclusive Service The Survey Press
Bureau.)
This fall l had the opportunity, after
the close of the Congress of Hygiene
in Washington. of visiting some of the
cities of the eastern states and seeing
therein something of the labor condi-
tions and industrial life of the people.
Although | visited a considerable va
riety of factories the number seen was
too small TO enable me to make com
parison between american and British
manufacturing plants.
DESPITE the larger number of labor
saving devices in use in America and
England there are in both countries
stiil some industries. e. e.. the IRON and
steel in which work is too hard and
the hours are too long. Working u
twelve hour shift week after week and
month after month frequently is be-
yond the limits of human strength. At
several of the blast furnaces in the
north of England the hours have been
result that the amount of iron produced
is greater than in Staffordshire. where
the twelve hours still prevail Not only
in the north of England is production
greater but the men receive higher
wages although working fewer hours.
1t is we'll known fact that in the
United States few American born work
men undertake hard, disa greeable and
ds ngerous work. This is left largely

tremely dangerous work without being
instructed as to the risks they run. A
little more humane treatment of these
foreigners and more sympathy extend
ed to them would do much to Tighten
the burden of their toll and make life
more agreeable. The large number of
foreigners employed in the factories Is
one of the causes of accidents.
Apart from accidents in no industry
is Instruction more called for than in
the manufacture of whitehead. In fac
tories where white lead is made fac
tory regulations, such as those in Great
Britain. do not appear generally to be
in force. There is no compulsory pc
riodical medical examination of the
workers and yet in some white lead
factories employers have of their own
accord required their work people TO
be medically examined just as in Eng
land Where health can become so
readily impaired and life endangered as
in the manufacture of white lead 1t
should not be left altogether to en-
ployers to draw up regulations for the
work people. q

tails, also from my conversations with
