MAN OF MYSTERY
dies OF WOUNDS
BODY HELD WHILE SEARCH Is
MADE FOR HIS RELA-
TINES

The body Of a man known as John
y ..rshall lies in the Mowbray under
taking parlors awaiting word from
some realtive or friend of the dead
man as to its disposal Marshall died
yesterday morning in the Tulsa hos
pital from the effects of a gun shot
wound received at Avant about three
weeks ago.
Somewhat OF a mystery surrounds
the affair. When first brought here
Marshall refused to make any state
ment concerning how he got shot.
Then he told that he accidentally shot
himself. This was believed until word
was received at Avant that he was
shot by a bartender in a joint there
over a gambling game. The man who
shot him is said to have left for parts
unknown the same night and nothing
has been heard Of him since.
Marshall maintained a complete
silence about his own affairs and left
no word as to his family or relatives,
If he had any.

Col Roosevelt's visit.

Theodore Roosevelt, renowned as President of
the United States great as an American citizen, was
given the cordial welcome he deserved yesterday
when he paid Washington visit that brief but,
as always filed with incident Ten hours of the
colonel in action is as week in the average human
life. His friends here meaning everybody rejoiced
in his splendid mental and bodily vigor and apparent
robust health after his protracted physical trials for
in appearance and action he was ''ft"
Col. Roosevelt gathered no end of political in.
formation from his own followers and many others
with whom he found time to talk, all of which even
the colonel will be forced take time digest Inn
patient as every one must be to know his opinions
and his program, they will have to exercise their
patience while he takes his bearings.
As for the stories of his travels and explorations
in South America. related to the members of the Ma
tona Geographic Society it goes without saying that
this great and privileged audience received him with
unbounded enthusiasm and listened to his thrilling
narrative with profound interest. He needs no spon-
sor in Washington and his descriptions of what he
saw and discovered carry their own proof in the
fact that they come from his own lips In America
there will be to seriously cast doubt upon his
claims. In the eyes of his countrymen no matter how
he may be regarded statesman, so far as his
explorations concerned he is judge jury and in
ernational board of arbitration all in his own person
Washington is honored in being first to hear him
tell of his adventures Its verdict is rendered and
nothing will change il.

Borah Suggests a Platform.

The most significant and earnest gathering of Re-
publicans since that party went of power, over
fourteen months ago. held in Detroit yesterday,
described as Michigan Republican State welfare
conference. Party leaders from all over the State
were present and Senator William Alden Smith pre-
sided Aside from the painting OF very gloomy
picture of the effect of Democratic policies chief i'm
portance attached the address of Senator Borah of
daho regular Republican of progressive ideas, who
held up for inspection the outlines of platform on
which the two elements of his party invited to
stand together and work for its restoration. His prin-
cples, sound and incontrovertble there decided
progressive tilt to his specifications, far they
went though they contained nothing that any patriotic
Republican believing in his partys wisdom and su-
perior ability to govern could refuse to ndorse. All
that is needed is candidate acceptable to both
elements and on this subject Senator Borah was
silent, though current rumor credits him with am
bitions of his own
The Senator prefaced his remarks with the con-
fdent assertion that 'the Republican party is coming
back to power the proof of it is on every hand; the
trend is unmstakabe Later on he uttered this warn
ing: -s-E..
No man living in this splendid age, amid these
exhlarating environments can afford to permit the
corrodng poison of pessmism to enter his soul. But
on the other hand, the curse of age is that cold
cruel selfish conservatism which. living in its and
comfort enjoying wealth and all it brings, refuses to
sympathize with the conditions of those who in
the midst of world of plenty, are bordering the
line of hunger and misery who refuse to the
new conditions the problems which must be
met and dealt with in the same spirit and with the
same courage and progressiveness that fathers
met the problems of their age. The great and al
most superhuman task, my friends, is the gather
ing of wealth. but its fair and equitable distribution
Distinctly progressive doctrine and differing no
whit from the creed recited by the Democrats at
Baltimore and on the stump. Principles enough,
surely from which careful artisans could construct
platform on which regular and progressive would
unite and catch some flies"
Roosevelt could run on it and SO could Taft, but
not both of them. '

Zapata Wants a Hand.

An opportunity presents itself to the Niagara Falls
mediation party to make real progress by simply
eliminating the agrarian land question from the pro-
gram and substituting therefor Gen. Emiano Zapata.
Plainly the agrarian land question can only clog the
wheels of mediation, with no possibility of solution
of it within the allotted years of any person lv
ing, even if it were any of business, or in the
remotest way connected with any of our grievances
or responsible for the presence of armed United
States forces in Vera Cruz
On the other hand there is smooth-running
sound about the very name of Emiliano Zapata that
suggests oil in the bearings the soft purr of four
perfectly adjusted cylinders promising speed and
fort. How perfectly Emiliano Zapata fits into the
machinery with Victoriano Huerta, Venustiano Car
rama, and Pancho Villa. Surely it must be an i'm
portant part of it; how can it without it?
And there is not single reason for leaving it out
We are informed that "agent of Gen. Emiliano

of freebooters." While Zapata and Carranza are
not actually allied they have the same ideals and
are working in concert, Secretary Bryan in

representatives of bandits and freebooters into the
Niagara Falls party; but Zapata and his followers
are nothing of the sort, and they want hand and

By all means let Zapata in and throw out the
agrarian land question.

When railways were a novelty the COM
panies vigorously enforced their anti
smoking laws. The Great Western Com
pany once caught tartar. The station
master at Didcot removed a passenger
from an up express train and handed
him over to the police on a charge Of
smoking to the annoyance of a fellow
traveller. Next day the prisoner was
brought before the magistrate. and when
asked what he had to say in answer to
the charge he replied:
Gentlemen. the offence took place in

The Observance Of Sunday.

To the Editor: Permit me TO submit a
few words for the consideration Of thoss
who oppose the religious observance Of
Sunday and whose views were expressed
In the article which recently appeared
in The Open Forum over the signature Of
Mr.. John d. Bradley. president Of the
Washington Secular League.
First-Sunday Is distinctively a relig-
ious institution. Its origin was religious
Without such origin 1t would never havt
existed
Second-For its preservation. as well
as for its origin, the world Is under obi.
CATION to the church Of God It would
not now be even q holiday had IL not
been first holy day. And but for Chris
tan influences, expressed in custom and
law. effecting the preservation of this
religious institution, those who now opI
pose II as a holy day could not enjoy il
as a holiday. II those who in the past
shared their secular ideas had prevailed
We all should now be working seven days
in the week
Third-The purpose Of Sunday being re-
ligious. as indicated by its origin and
history, IL contributes to the interests Of
those who believe they are spiritual be-
ings. having a moral nature requiring the
help which such a day of rest from the
ordinary affairs Of life may afford. They
have a right to be protected in that be-
lief and to have the day preserved fof
that purpose. The number Of actual
communicates in the ch1rches. togethei
with their families, and the natural adj
herent constituency of the various re.
ligious bodies in our nation are vastly
In the majority.
Fourth-If Sunday Is not a holy day.
why Is IL a holiday? Those who deny
the existence in themselves of moral and
spiritual qualities. or the need for their
development, may regard themselves az
exempt from any obligation to a religious
observance of Sunday. But why should
they observe it all? What significance
has II? As a holiday what does II COM
memorate? Or. would they do away with
II entirely, This would be the only con-
sistent position for them to take. But
I hope they will not take II; for j do
not believe they would want to live in
a community or In a country in which
