Jingoism has been experiencing q
time of drought and famine of late
Small ideas of nationalism have not
thriven. Easy insularity and cheap
boastfullness have been blighted by the
new atmosphere which envelops the
earth. PettineSs in patriotism has
given way to larger, saner concep-
tiOns. Men have become aware of the
whole world, and of the particular ma
tionS relations thereto. No nation, we
now see, can live it's own life unto it
self The destiny of each is ineXtri-
cably bound up with the welfare of
all. So it has come to pass that. with
new seriousness of mind and a new
largeness of view, patriots are
facing their problems in a spirit of
consideration for the whole world.
The greatest glory of a nation is its
people; and the greatest peril of a ma
ton is the same. Noble men and wom-
en- have given greatness to little coun-
tries with few natural advantages;
while unfit citizens have brought ruin
upon fair lands. The most important
service that can be rendered the state
is to help build up the character of the
people.
Democracy is on trial. but triumph
ing. The surest safeguard of govern
ment "of the people, for the people
and by the people is religion. Before
there can be democracy there must be
theocracy. Human brotherhood is de-
pendent upon divine Fatherhood Men
cannot be counted upon to give al
legiance to the great ideals of altru-
ism, which are inherent in democracy,
except they have first yielded obedi-
ence to God. Thus the most direct ser
vice that can be rendered the cause
of the democratic ideal of governm ent
is to strengthen the hold of religion
upon the minds of the people.

Sheriffs Threaten to Strike.

b Oklahoma City, Jan. 23.-The sher-
ifs of Oklahoma are threatening to
strike and abandon their offices IL
the legislature does not make an ap-
preparation to cover the expenses of
transporting prisoners to the state
penitentiary.
Appeals have been made repeatedly
to the legislature for the appropria-
tion but it has not yet been made.
Several of the sheriffs have paid out
from 5000 to $1,000 each during the
past two years for the transporta-
ton of prisoners and now they want
to be reimbursed. The law provides
that the state shall pay such expenses
but no appropriation was made for
that purpose at the session two years
ago.

Great public excitement followed

merly war minister was shot during
an exchange of shots.
Talaat Bey the new minister of the
interior, informed European embas-
sizes that all measures necessary for
the security of the city have been
taken and issued an appeal for the

IN THE DISTRICT COURT.
Trial of Father and Son on Murder
CHARGE Taken Up.

The trial of j. o. and A. A. Smith
trict court today The Smiths, father
and son, are charged with the murder
of w. A. Mccall at Hewitt, this coun-
ty, several weeks ago.
1t will be remembered that Mccall
and the Smith family had trouble
over an unsettled bill of supplies
which Mccall had furnished the fam
lily of the defendants. In a quarrel
over this claim the elder Smith blew
out the brains of Mccall with a
single -barrelled shotgun.
Three witnesses have been exam.
med so far for the Defense against
twenty-five for the state. 1t is thought
that the examination of the witnesses
and the arguments will be completed
in time to give the case to the jury
late this afternoon.
The fact that one of the attorneys
for the defense promised in his open
ing statement to the jury this morn
ing, that the defense would intro.
duce some rich, rare and racy evi-
dence, has attracted a large crowd
of the morbidly curious to the court
room.
In the case of the State VS.. Ed
Newton, who was on trial yesterday
afternoon on a cattle stealing charge
the jury brought in a verdict of
not guilty, and the defendant was
ordered discharged from custody.

Jewel for Girl from "Uncle."
San Francisco, Jan. 2S.-Down in
the murky depths of San Francisco
bay lies a $500 diamond ring that
now and again sparkled on the hand
of Miss Irene Kelly. Between whiles
its radiance was immured in pawn
brokers' vaults.
Rudolph Wolb gave the ring to Miss
Kelly. Whenever he missed it she
would give him the ticket and he
would redeem the pledge. Tiring
of this pastime yesterday, after send
ing $500 in pursuit of the original
5000, he cast the ring into the bay,
and anybody can redeem it, he says,
who wants to.
Miss Kelly was so indignant today
that she swore out a warrant charg-
ing Wolb with larceny.

TRAVEL RECORD
Of PRES. TAT 7
AVERAGED rs MILES PER DAY.
STOOD AS NEAR CoUNTRYS
FOUR CORNERS AS COULD GET.

Washington, Jan. 23-When Pres
.lent Taft stepped down from his
private car on his recent return from
New Haven the total mileage of his
travels during his four years in the
white house reached 13,659-enough
o have taken him four and one
lalf times around the world, or an
average of about seventy-five miles
or every day he has been president.
The total is exclusive of the hun
dreds of miles the president has
Travelled by motor in every part Of
the country; his trips through cit
les and his tours about Washington
nd in the vicinity Of Beverly.
Including the automobile trips and
hree short journeys to be taken
jefore March 4, Mr.. Taft will have
travelled during his term about 1885,
900 miles, or five times the distance
around the earth at the equator.
Mr.. Taft has made about $4,000
miles of the total on his two Swings
around the circuit" He has visited
every state in the union with the
exception of Oklahoma and North
Dakota and has stood as near the
four corners of the country as it is
possible for man to get.
Congress gave the president $4,000
year for travelling expenses, and
Mr. Taft has used that appropriation
every year that he has been in Of
flee. This years appropriation will
probably be an exception. His long
trips last fall reduced the $25,00O
fund, and if congress wishes Presi-
dent elect Wilson to see the coun-
try early in his administration it
probably will be necessary to place
an emergency fund at his disposal.
