No man could have a hand as large as

Jim Jeffries has a large. but diff

Smiths is long and broad and full of

Levinson in reply to a chance remark.

That was the kind that ketchel had to
use in the ring. But the ones he wore
when training weighed twentyfour
ounces-almost FIVE times as much as

such gloves to protect his arms and
hands
"KetcheI was rough fellow.
When he got a sparring partner
before him he forgot that he was not

plenty for its necessities.

A FADED FLOWER.

How often have the Oklahoma vo-
ters sat under the spell OF eloquence
OF office seekers, and smelled the
sweet perfume of the roses that were
promised under their administration
1t is well that we whitfield the frag-
rance and dreamed of the happiness,
because the flowers faded before
ready for delivery.
Our candidates were IN absolute
earnestness. They pictured the beau
tlful things they would like to hand
out, but beneficent laws do not come
from the mind of one man, but there
must be cooperation. A governor
has no legislative power, a member OF
the legislature by himself has no leg
islatiye power. There must be a CO.
operation to produce laws.
We have cut our eye-teeth a long
time ago on promised reform. These
promises are empty-they are intend
ed to catch votes. Their purpose is
to put the hungry voter in the trap OF
the oilice-seeker.
There is but one platform in this
election That platform is not with
the governor nor with the legisla.
ture; II is before the people for their
adoption. Democracy says the source
of power Is with the people, and the
only platform in this election is now
before the voters.
One plank of that platform which
you will be able to vote FOR on the
fourth of August Is law which pro-
hibits any drunkard from holding
public office. There will not be a
vote cast against that proposed law
next Tuesday.
Chas. West has not given you the
fragrance of promised flower, but
he has placed the flower where you
can pluck 1t on election day, and 1t
is yours. Patriotic citizens of Okla
homa ought to vote for that law and
also to vote for the man who made
IL possible for such flower TO be
gathered. That flower is sacred to ev-
cry home, it is a lesson to the young
manhood of the state, teaching them
that they can't be drunkards and at
the same time ascend the scale of
honor and usefulness.

Scarcity Of Boy Laborers.

Boy labor is very scarce in New Zea-
land, and some manufacturers find girl
labor almost equally scarce. A men,
ber Of a firm of baking powder manu-
facturers in the Dominion advertised
unsuccessfully few months ago for
boys and girls, and had to employ
adult labor instead. So precious are
these young people, indeed, that it is
found that the only way is to take
boys when they are offering, usually
at the beginning of the year, and keep
them through slack seasons. This
particular firm gives boys straight
from school SO week to start, and
by the time they have been at the fac
tory a year or IS months they get IS.

MAKES HIS PROMISE GOOD.
Fred Tucker Believes No Bachelor
Should Preside Over Destinies

On the theory that no bachelor
should preside over the destinies of
the homes of an American state, bas.
ing his opinion upon the simple law
of life as intended by the Creator,
that man should know life by living
the right kind of life, that man should
become in hearty sympathy with a
state by reason of his posterity being
reared to enjoy its institutions, Sen
ator Fred Tucker promised Garter
county people that if they would elect
him to office that he should choose
for wife one of the fair daughters
of Oklahoma, and would rear children,
that he might know how to live in
harmony with the men who are at
the head of Oklahoma homes.
The senator has made good. Before
his term of office expired he chose
a wife, and is now the proud father
of a beautiful baby girl, who has
come to bless their home.
All citizens love the institutions
Of state, but no man can love them
as a father loves them. When he
makes his plans to educate his family
in the state schools he loves those
institutions of learning. When he is
rearing children whose destinies are
being heweved out by the law-maldng
bodies of the state he learns TO love
those laws that protects the educa-
tional funds of the state that our
institutions may continue to grow
each year.
Senator Tucker is receiving the
congratulations of his friends.

When Speed Becomes Dangerous.

Mrs. Rose Pastor Stokes, speaking
at the first annual conference Of the
American Museum Of Safety in New
York, says that speed is the real prob.
lem Of labor. 1t Is not that machin-
cry is so dangerous, she says. but
what is called industrial efficiency
keys the workers up to a pitch that
means in time mental and physical
exhaustion. She says that up to a
certain point a worker can increase
speed, and that after that It begins
to decline. Business compels the at
titude of the owners of factories, she
says, and they do not realize how they
grind down the girls in their seeking
for efficiency.
