The Wilson Policy

Woodrow Wilson's Chicago speech
adds substantial reasons to those al
ready accumulated for confidence in
the incoming administration. Simply
as oratory, it should rank high. In
substance and tone it was extraOrdt-
narily appropriate to the occasion; in
it's appeal it was considerate but firm,
and modestly eloquent. To the mass
of American citizenship. however, the
great virtue of this speech is the
heightened assurance it gives of the
dependableness of Woodrow Wilson's
democracy.
Conspicuous in the speech was a
plain notification that the only bust
ness men with whom President Will
son dare counsel are those who intend
the same things that he intends. A
severe indictment this, Of the good
faith of leading business men; yet
one which is fully warranted by Presi-
dent Taft's experience as human
island "surrounded by men who know
precisely what they want" But it's
importance as an indictment of such
men is slight in comparison with its
value as an assurance that their reign
is to end with the outgoing admins
tration. This assurance in itself
might be of little value. But Mr.. VIII.
son bases it upon and buttresses 1t by
political and economic principles
which proclaim as utterly hostile the
things that he intends to those that
Big Business wants.
The incoming Presidents under
standing of Big Business is not crude.
He realizes that the opprobrium Of

bigness, but wit hthe essential char

Against monopoly, therefore. he TAX

a mere epithetical way. Who that
reads his Chicago speech can any
longer doubt that he glimpses the
giant causes of monopoly and aims at
eradicating them? Common resourc-

10 the State Being Robbed?

The statement issued by the regents
of Washington State College to the
effect that the timber lands owned
by the college are being sold at much
less than their real value, is a matter
Of state wide interest. Professor
Clothier Of the forestry department
of the college, has cruised large
portion Of the state lands and finds
that the states cruiser gives the esti-
mated amount of timber on the lands
at a small fraction of their actual
value and amount.
Professor Clothier's report shows
that some quarter sections of land
have been sold at $1,000 each, and
that the timber Of these lands were
worth $4,000 or more. The state
has been robbed of an immense am
cunt by this differentiation of it's
timber. The estimated value of the
timber lands of the State College, as
shown by the professors report, is
more than $10,000,000. This is a
rich heritage and means that the
funds from the sale of these lands,
which are to be kept in perpetuity,
will, at five per cent. interest, bring
an annual income of 100000 for the
support Of the school at Pullman.
This Is heritage that cannot be left

The TornoW Hunt

The Aberdeen World becomes peev-
ed at the Montesano correspondent Of
the Herald, for his reflections on the
stories printed nthe daily papers con-
corning sheriff's posse starting out
in search of John Tornow, and loses
its temper to the extent of proving
the correctness of the correspondents
view.
Whether or not such a posse is in
the field, neither the Herald or World
knows, and If the sheriff has taken
such action and desires to keep the
knowledge of it from the public, in
the interest of the lives of his men,
1t may be giving the news" to thwart
his wishes, but it will not add to the
safety of those of the posse. Every
attempt heretofore made to capture
TOrnow was made known in advance,
and many there are who think the
death of Mckenzie and Elmer in some
degree due to the fact that their going
after the outlaw was published with
all the assiduity of a press agency.
II Sheriff Mathews is making an eff
fort to capture this murderous maniac,
the press Of the county should assist,
not hamper his efforts.
The World says "the report was
brought to it's Office" and this is just
what our correspondent suspected;
that the story was given out in Alb
erdeen, and II the World will give the
name Of it's informant to the sheriff's
Office, the authorities may get line
on who is trying to handicap the sher-
i'll in this matter, and the "ferreting"
will probably have been accomplished.

STATE NATIONAL GUARD.
Lieutenant WorIey Tells How the
Companies are Maintained.

Ardmore, Okla, June 17.-Editor
Ardmoreite: An article in your paper
! of Sunday referring to a letter re
ceived from Col Roy Hoffman by
Captain Arandell of McAlester. con-
| cerning the necessity for recruiting
his company up TO 20 men at once
has caused me to have to answer so
many inquiries that | beg a little
space for an explanation.
Captain Arandell was not by him
self | got the same letter. So did
II other company commanders. And
here's tie reason: Oklahoma has
one infantry regiment of the organ
lied militia, with signal, medical en-
gneer troops and a machine gun pla-
toon in addition. Heretofore the in
fantry requirement has been 5S men.
About so per cent of the support and
maintenance of the Oklahoma ma
tional guard comes from the federal
government. There is a regular fed.
eral appropriation by each congress
and this is apportioned among the
states according to their military
strength. The law is automatic and
carries the further requirement that
each state, to share in this appro-
priation, must have an enlisted
strength in its national guard of at
least 100 for each senator and rep
resentative in congress Oklahoma has
something like 500 enlisted men. But
we now have a representation Of ten !
in congress, which makes our re- |
quirement at least 1000 enlisted men.
The adjutant general had hoped to /
meet this requirement by the organ |
ization of a new battalion of four |
as he has on file about 200 |
applications for companies from va
rious towns and cities of the state
which have none, and he hoped to
induce the legislature to make the
necessary appropriations for armory
rent. The war department promptly
took the position that a regiment
