A MAN OF COURAGE.

on It's feet lie has proven himself a
very extraordinary man. His cOur-
age is not only great, but 1t is per-
sistent. For no sooner would he meet
one difficulty and get il in corner

Is safe guess OF course, 20 say that
German influence has been active in
fomenting most every species Of trou-
bic which he has encountered, but
the wonder Is at the versatility Of his
enemies For every one Of the diff

forms In which the same problem has
presented itself. The Russian fabric
has been so thoroly permeated by
premeditated dissatisfaction that
there is no way he can turn without
meeting opposition and the conquer
ing II one difficulty only ushers in
another.
just how far outside influence is
responsible for the present insurrcc-
ton OF Korniloff IS debatable. The
German agents may not have directly
planned the coup. The insurgent
general may be the author Of his own
conspiracy But al any rate, we may

TIME TO WAKE UP.

The free county fair has given a
the people OF Tulsa county. They
have learned that the Tulsa spirit
abides not alone with the residents
Of this municipality, but that II siops
over into the surrounding rural ter
.Ttory. We have thot 50 much and
talked 50 much abou; oil that We
have been about 70 forget that OKLA
homa is blessed with a soil and a
climate that means In the long run
riches beside which the temporary
flush OF oll-made wealth pales into
insignificance. We have learned that
this soil needs only the application Of
industry and intelligence 20 return
its operators untold wealth. and a
wealth. too. that is perennial as long
ass- man ulls the soil and keeps his
intellectual faculties. With this spirit
rampant in the future, We may snap
our fingers at the pessimist who IS
always predicting dire disaster for
Tulsa and eastern Oklahoma in that
dim and distant future when the
wealth producing oil and gas shall
refuse TO longer line the pockets Of
it, promoters and operators.
We have heard much about the
des.rabMty Of Tulsa becoming an in
dus;rlal city. and there cannot too
much De- said of the importance of
this idea. No town can hope to at
tain and preserve the prosperity with
which this community has been blest
unless 1t has behind IT the support
and loyalty of the sucket brigade
Milliouaires may make the desert
blossom as the rose. but u IS the man
who labors who gives assurance that
time will not undo the work OF the
rich man and the desert reclaim its
own. But. bigger and better even
than the power OF an industrial com
munity Is the vista that opens before
the agriculturlst. For many years
the farms OF Oklahoma to a large
extent laid idle. because the owners
coud make easier and quicker money
by leasing the land than by cultivat,
ing 1t. Broad acres went to waste
as far as the surface showed. while
the omnipresent prospector was bor-
ing it fun OF holes in search OF liquid
prosperity. And the farmer let his
plows rust while he spent his lease
money In uproarious living.
Had this condition maintained in
definitely, the time would come when
no more lease money would be forth
coming and the farms would have
been In bad shape to yield their crops.
But the day OF agricultural indiffer-
ence is passing The farmers are re-
turning to the plow and the pruning
hook and the Tulsa fair marks the
opening Of a brighter epoch.
