Aniable.

Generally speaking, the view most in favor, the country over. judging from editorial opinions thus far canvassed, i9 well set forth in this quotation from the Providence Journal:
 There can be no question of the diff faculties involved in adjusting our Eu- ropean trade satisfactorily in the face of the British insistence on the exist ing embargo, but we may be confident Y at the London government will les- sen the severity of it's policy when 1t can do so consistently with the over- shadowing demands of it's own neeessi- ties ;t has shown only good will for us from the first. It's latest note is written in the most amiable of tempers And the response from Washington, de- spite the German insistence on brusque- ness and violence, will be the response of a longtime and inalienable friend Boston I1ening Record.

1 West Indies in civil war days.
 In the Matamoras cases we held up eargoes consigned to a Mexican port which we maintained were destined for the confederate states, to which they were to be shipped overland or across the Rio Grande near it's mouth. We also prevented exports from these Mex jean ports of cotton grown in the con- federate states on the ground that 1t was enemy property The British gov ernment shields itself behind these Matamoras cases by saying that it is treating German trade through Den mark and Holland just as we treated confederate trade through Mexico
 Thus, as the Lowell Courier Citizen aptily says, necessity and not inter national law rules the actions of beni- gerents."

Truculence.

Here and there is a hint of trucu- lenee, as when the Hartford Post para hrases the British position thus:
 While We are engaged in the noble benef1cient and necessary work of de- stroying the German empire, German commerce and German industries, we are going to hold up all American com merce with the Scandinavian countries and with Holland because they are close to Germany and if you don't like what We do you can go to court about it either now or after the fighting is ended"
 Or, boiled down, What is a little thing like international law between friends?"
 Some southernp apers show resent ment on account of cotten-though less than might have been expected Indeed John Stuart Thompson, who has just returned from a long trip through seven southern states, reports to the New York Times that despite the lack of cotton outlets, the south, apart from a handful of "untraveled and spccula- tive editors,' is not only not anti Brit ish, but is in full sympathy with the necessity for putting a curb on Prus- sia n nilitariSm

Recalls Early Day Trip
Through Territory

Mr.. and Mrs. c. w. Hill of Hemp
stead Texas. who arrived in Chicka-
sha yesterday, will remain for some
as guests of their daughter, Mrs. Ed
f. Johns.
Mr.. Hill is a retired planter, owning
between eight hundred and one thou
sand acres OF fine Texas land near
Hampstead, where he has resided con
tinuously since coming to Texas from
Cincinnati, years ago.
In speaking of the portions of the
great new state,' Oklahoma, which it
has been his good fortune to see. Mr..
Hill referred to it as the coming agri-
cultural land of the union. Viewing
the farms and the cities through which
he travelled from the car window, Mr.
Hill stated that southern Oklahoma
consists Of the Finest land out Of
doors"
Inasmuch as this is the first trip Mr..
Hill has made to the old Indian terri
| tory since 1872, when this section was
the heart of the wild and woolly," he
was more than pleasantly surprised
with the great strides which have been
taken during the past few years in de
veloping and building up and placing
the southern Oklahoma of today on the
| nations man
With railways criss-crossing each
other and winding in and out through
.he valleys and diverging like mighty
spider webs across the boundless
praries of half a century since, Mr.
Hill says it is hard for man to bring
himself to believe that this is the same
country over which he rode in a stage
coach in the early seventies-the same
land where the struggling shacks oi
the early settlers were all that broke
the expanse Of miles and miles of soil
tude.
In referring to the last trip he.mads

through the old Indian territory, MIR.
Hill spoke of the leaving of the rail-
way train at Muskogee, of the days
after days of riding in the oldtinc
stage coaches and the lunging, bump
ing mud wagons; of the stopping
for meals at scattered stage stanos
of the numerous Indians to be seer
here and there throughout days jour
ney; of the scattered ranch houses; OF
the thousands upon thousands of Ion
horns" which roamed the lands over
which the cattle barons rode and
where the right of might was the only
known law.

total was much more liberal than the
majority of dealers had recently been
disposed to believe and the conse-
quences was to give the market a de-
cisive downward slant the rest of the
day
The final setback, however, was not
brought about until for the third day
in succession the market had reached
above all previous high price records
of the 1915 crop.

MRS, SAMUEL P. GILBERT.

Mrs. Mary Fern Gilbert, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Aimers, was
born at Thorpe, Iowa, Feb. 9, 1894,
and departed this life at her late
home in Dundee about half past five
o'clock Wednesday evening, No
vember 7th, 1915. For number OF
years she had been a patient suf-
ferer, having twice submitted to sur
gical operations for appendicitis and
again last spring she was critically
i'll and her life was dispaired Of,
but she seemed to have fully re-
covered and was apparently in usual
health and the community was great
ly surprised and shocked to learn
last Wednesday evening that upon
returning hCme from his place of
business to supper Mr.. Gilbert had
found his young wife fallen to the
floor in their home and before aid
could reach her she had passed
from this world. The cause Of death
was heart failure. She remained
upon earth but twenty-cne years,
nine months and eight days.
Fifteen years ago last spring,
she, with her parents and family
came to make their home in Dundee.
On Sept. 1st, 1914, she gave her

ly until death took her from his
home, leaving him sad and lonely.
Funeral services were held from
the Dundee Wesleyan Methodist
church, conducted by the Rev. r.
Wesley Mack, assisted by the Rev.
c. S. Weigel, appropriate music be-
ing rendered by the Lutheran church
choir. The large attendance of sor-
rowing friends and the beautiful
floral tributes attested the high
esteem N which she was held. Hav-
ing for several years been an opera
tor in the local telephone office, she
was widely known and by her pleas
ant manner and cheerful disposition,
had won to herself many devoted
friends.
Besides her husband and parents,
she leaves to. mourn her early de-
parture five sisters, Mrs. Margaret
Duncan, Manchester, Iowa; Mrs.
Blanche Jones, Walker, Mrs. Hazel
Slick, New Hampton, Ia; Eva and
F1oy and two brothers, Ellis and
Francis, who yet remain in the
parental home. Besides the above

final resurrection.
The bereaved friends have the
sympathy Of the entire community.
