THE JUDICIAL MIND.

1t is remarkable how hard it is for
a writer TO express himself in an I'M
partial and unbiased manner without
| being misunderstood and called to ac-
count by some one. The World has
consistently held that the appoint
ment OF Louis ID. Brandels to the su-
preme Judseship was undesirable be-
cause he was a man OF known and
boasted partially. A friend takes US
to task for saying that his activities
as the friend or the common people

Time was when Democracy meant
something quite different from the
present conception OF that party.
Times have changed and some OF the
party giants have been relegated TO
ohscurity for 10 these many years.
One OF these was David r. Francis of
Missouri Up 10 the time when
Bryanism overwhelmed and absorbed
the old organization this man stood
high in the councils Of the nation and
in the estimation Of its people. AS
governor II his state and member
OF the Cleveland cabinet he made
an enviable record. which after his re-
trenent from politics was supple
monted by his wonderful work as the
iLstigator and the brains OF the
worlds fair al St Louis There was
TO place OF honor for him in the party
councils after the old Democracy had
lost its characteristics in the semi
soc!alisiic regime that succeeded the
nomination Of Bryan, but there is a
prospect now that his exceptional
abilities will once more be recognized
and his services requisitioned for the
present administration. Mr Francis
is expected TO be called on to repre-

STATEWIDE EVENTS

MALESTER-Presid Wilson has
commuted life sentence of Whisper
ing" William Slaughter, a negro. who
was sentenced to the penitentary
from this city in 1904 for murder.
The action was taken because of the
unrelia bility of evidence upon which
the negro was convicted.
CORDELL~Arlis Knight, IA years
old. who lived with his parents near
this place, was instantly killed when
an automobile in which he was riding
turned over last Wednesday. His
brother, who also was in the car.
jumped and escaped injury.
ENID-A call has gone out for
meeting of the county Republican
convention for this city March Is, for
the purpose of electing delegates to
the Republican state convention at
Oklahoma City. The call fixes the
number of delegates to the county
convention to which each precinct
and township is entitled.
OKMUIGEE-Osca Poe, the al
legged horse thief and all-around bad
man for whom the authorities have
been looking for some time. is thought
to have left this section Of the coun-
try. Poe had been hiding hereabouts
after another of his crimes, and, al
though large crowds of men and off
GERS had sought him, nothing of him
was seen.
DRUMRIGHT-The squabble here
over public improvements has at last
reached the courts and promises to
develop into a contest which will at
tract attention throughout the state.
Serious charges have been made
against members of the various fac
tions, and others are to follow.
CHEROKEE-The Rev. John ].
Dalton of Muskogee has been ad-
judged insance here and sent to the
state insane asylum. where he will be
detained indefinitely. The man was
taken off train at this place for inn
moral conduct toward a small boy
passenger. and exhibited unmistakable
signs of insanity.
ARDMORE-The police are after
JOY riders of this city and it Is thought
many arrests will follow. The climax
came last night when a party OF un-
Identified persons took the new car
Of r. A. Hefncr and after riding
through the country and back aband-
oned 1t in bad condition on the out
skirts of town. Car owners long have
suffered at the hands of persons who
appropriate their machines "for fun"
and are determined to put a stop to
the prectice.

argument why his appointment should
not be confirmed. The popular i'm
preston Is that the president does
not expect him TO be confirmed, but
that the selection was made with a
view Of putting himself on record as
a friend OF the Jews, which purpose
will not be affected by the action OF
the senate. This is more likely than
tho suggestion that lie wished to put
a rabid anti-monopolist on the bench.

ABOUT FOUR MORE days remain
in which to try the unusually heavy

There we're 112 cases on the docket
when court opened a week ago and
they have been tried at the rate of

newly appointed assistant county at

is progressing under the personal su-

THE STRIKE OF employees Of the
Tulsa Boiler & Sheet Iron Works,
which occurred Tuesday. is still on
and there seems little likelihood of an
early settlement. About thirty-five
men are said to have walked out of
the shops when they were refused
payment for overtime. Some of the
strikers have already found work at
other boiler shops. C. b. Farquhar-
son. owner of the plant. left yesterday
for business trip to Texas points and
it is presumed will bring back men
to fill the strikers places.

night that has never been equaled in

burning message at the Mission Of
Redeeming Love. His first sermon
brought four to the altar. three Of
whom were saved. Enjoying one OF
his sermons will almost compel one to
hear another of his heaven-freighted
discourses that draw their charm
from rich experiences of the evange-
list through long years in the gold
fields of Alaska. whale fisheries Of
Artic seas. and the logging camps of
the far north to the oil fields of
Pennsylvania and Oklahoma.
