to prow ltn world-linpcrltillnin whorover ponnl
ble, wo havo been In opponltlon to UiiBlnnd,
There we ittand and tlmro wo alinll contiiitio to
tand. Justified In our position, too, by tho
current e.vcntn ot our Onto.
Thcro la no gulnHaylns the fact tlutt Downing
trevt litis to a very litinilllaltiiK extent wrapped
Washington about I la flnRc.ru for the past sev
eral ycura. Wo have not only pulled Downing
atrcct'a clicstnuta out of tho fire, but wo liavo
walked Into baited Imps nnd been tho victims
ot tho cheapest nnd tnottt tiuostlonablo prac
tices at thn hand of tho KtiKllsh Imperialists.
Thcso fuels oro coming to light with great
rapidity thcso days. At least u. part ot our gov
ernment already realises that England, in thu
natno of a fine altruism, has steadily been tak
ing advantage of the material Interests of
America; and In tho cable hearings now bolng
conducted at Washington Amorlcan nationalists
are not hesitating to speak their sentiments nnd
prefer their charges.
If Germany committed crimes against our
nationhood in tho things nho practlcod, nnd sho
unquestionably did, what" In to bo said of Drltaln
controlling the cableti nnd opening tho com
munications of our nutlonnlH for tho purpose of
taking advantage of them In buslncs transac
tions with other nations?
And what ot tho arbitrary tiso she Is mnlUni;
of tho mandutory system under which despotic
control was glvon her of vast stretches of tho
earth's most productive stirfuce, largely, tut it
again be said In shame, by tho supremo repre
sentative of our own nation.
H Is not surprising, thorofote, that an open 1
break lias at last occurred between American
oil men and tho oil imperialists of thn llrltlsli
aaplre. Tho wonder Is that tho opei. breaK
liaa been so long delayed; a fact that U attrib
utable only to tho lamentablo additional fact
that our own foreign offlco has been the Im
perialist's greatest ndvocato and aid.
N mailer how pleasing It was to view thn
cordiality existing between thu two countries for
a time, It could never havo been oxpocted to
continue, because it was constructed on tho
menacing foundation of English hypocrisy and.
Imperialistic intentions, which, in their realiza
tion meant the subjugation of tho Unlled mates.
From tho first England has viewed tho rapid
rise of tho United States in commerco and fl
nanco and world-lnflu'enco with the greatest
Jealousy, and it has been tho novcr-lost-slght-of
aim of her stutcsmcn to at nil costs regain her
old-time hegemony of tho world.
It Is Inuvllublo that Amcrlcnn-Bngllsh rela
tions will boconm critical n It ii Intivltablo that
o as ft people will ulwayn resent an insult and
tofuso to bo dictated to by any nation. Thero
no hostility to England in our attitude. Thuro
!s nothing but In Interna-, burning prldo and
confidence in our own nationhood mid our abil
ity to defend It against Imperialistic aggression-)
whether they como from the east or tho west.
Tho utter, absolulo. Indefensible, hypocrisy of
English Imperialism and her secret machina
tions with tho imporlullbt of tho far east, con
atltutea tho gravest menace to continued peace
thcro Is In the world today.

gree positively mnar.lng.
Tlii' World hopes In u short lime (o net beforu
the people of thn state thu official figures ill
Just what has been done, mid what Is contem
plated In this lespect.
Pur Instance, think or this stute expending
1S7.00H to gindiiiilo 10 pupils! That Is but
ono ease. Thn cause of education tins been al
most discredited by pork-barrel Icglslatum,
poil-l,nrrel politicians and pork-barrel towns.
A splendid Idea has been seized on to cloak
tho giafter mid tho corrupllonlst. Thu peoplo
havo not been benefited In their latld.lldfl de.
slio lo placo education within tho easy reach ot
their children. (Julio the contrary. Their sub
stantial Inleiests aro now threatened by a sys
tem of ntatc-luHtltutlon-i.ontrollcd legislators
who almost dominate tho legislature.
If a halt Is ever to be culled It must lie called
now, Tho statu hospital matter Is another caso
directly In point, A splendid theory and senti
ment lm been seized on to do scrvlco for thu
cm ruptlonlsts and pork-barrel statesmen. Wo
do not think It will succeed. Wo know that It
should not. I 'or tho plan fulls utterly lo do
what It Is being offered for thn speedy umel
lorntlon of tho sick and disabled ex-sorvlcn men.
Already physicians with experience in thn
Into war, and leaders who understand tho con
ditions to lie met, are cnijdmnnlng It unspar
ingly, and thcro Is a substantial movement on
among tho ex-servlcn men themselves to havo
tho efforts of their organization wisely directed
to where relief can bn expected .to como from.
T'ho theory of state constructed hospitals, to
bo leased and opnrntcd by tho federal govern
ment, has been completely exploded. It Man
Uttorly failed. As an ex-offlccr of tho medical
corps In I ho Into war wrote The World, congress
Is thu place to get Immcdluto relief for the sick
and suffering ex-servlco men.
Tho legislature which convenes in Junuury
could not do better than create a hoard com
posed of ablo men free from all partisan taint
for thn purpose ot making mi Impartial survey
of the so-called stuto Institutions with recom
mendation to tho next session regarding con-i-oll-Jallor.s,
abclir.hm'entri and general improve
ments. Such a board would need to bo abovo
reproach In personnel commanding tho pub
lic confldonco that It would bo guided only, by
tho Just Interests of thu public and In no In
Btunco Influenced by locul sentlmonl.
In tho meantime, 'thn legislature should re
frain from making a single building appropria
tion, contenting itsolt with appropriating only
funds sufficient for mulutetianco needs. And
In other Instances It should abolish with a ruth
less hand. Oklahoma has Just us much use 'for
ft flro marshal as It has for another housn In
tho legislature. It has Just as much use for
nn Insuranco board. And various other and
useless dcpnrfWntn and Institutions.
Thero Is not a successful business man in the
state that, given tho tusk of putting the statn
on a sound business basis, would not flrBt of
all ruthlessly abolish and consolidate stato In
stitutions, boards, commissions nnd depart
ments. And vastly Improve thn efficiency of
government thereby.
Sooner or later this will bo done. If needs bo
It will como through thu Initiative powers ot Hi--peopln,
mid when latinchd In that manner. If
It finally Is, will sweep the stato from end to
end. Hut it would bn much more fitting for
this legislature, fresh from tho peoplo and
chastened, regardless of imrtlsanlsm, to seek
diligently to crystollzn Into legislation those
things which every member knows tho peoplo
want anil deserve.
Tho stato Is full of peoplo perfectly willing
lo Incur thn danger of being classed ns enemies
of education and tho ex. soldiers In older to
protect tho fair mid Just Interests of the entire
slate.
THE PEST.
(Copyright, lOSO. by Edpir A. Ouest.)
Think not that I would play thu Judge
Nor dictatorial be;
I would not for some ancient grdugn
Demand a cruel fen.
I'll let my neighbor go his way
And plnd along on mine,
And let him have his little soy
And live to his dcsUu;
Hut I would set that man apart
And strew his way with stones
Who, shaking hands, believes It smart
Almost to crush my bones.
I know It takrs all sorts of men
This world to populate,
And as I meet them, now nnd then,
Hut very few I hale.
1 understand wo cannot be
Alike t tastes and Wows,
Nor can wn nil of us agree
On politics or booze;
Hut I would banish froiu the land,
Out of the tcmperato zoneH,
The Idiot who takes my hand
And tries to crush the bones,
There's some excuso for freakish dress,
For boastful men and proud;
Though they dlctiirh nie, moro or less,
I can ahldn thu loud.
Nor would I hero condemn the man
Who stoops to foolish things,
l or folly, under nature's plan,
Has oven ruined kings;
Hut I detest the man who stands
n.iAml m,u'Kl;,, t my groans.
Thinking It's eutn while shaking hands
Almost to crush my bones.

A Confidential Coincrxullnii.
Whon I asked Mr. Frederick what
hu thought of Hlancho Orton my
heart seemed to almost stop beating
so anxiously did I await his reply.
Would ho think that she und Nell?
"Mrs. Orton Is hard up. Sho Is
tho kind of women wo sen occasion
ally In tho west," hu Interrupted my
thoughts. "Sho U hard ns nails, too
clover to be wicked, knowing sho is
not, caring nothing what people say
at leust I Judgu sho docs not."
"No, sho never did Even when
Mr. Orton was-ullve. Hut then peo
plo simply smiled at her actions;
imw they talk."
"I see; VI know very little ot so
ciety folks. I know a good woman
when I sco her, nnd nn honest man.
I know, too, a clover woman llko this
Mrs. )rton. How long have your
husbnnd and his friends been going
thero?"
"A long time nearly six or eight
months. Ever since 1 refused to en
tertain those men hero. I did wrong,
didn't 1?"
"That's n question I can't answer.
You certainly could not entertain
that bunch at Mrs. Orion's bust
night. Whether you could havo pre
vented Forbes from getting mixed
ui with some of them If you had
allowed a few llko Scott to como
here, 1 don't know. 1 doubt It how
ever. And It Is too late lo think of
that. 1 would rather losn every dol
lar I have In the world than see you
making free with those peoplo 1 was
with last night."
"You urn so good to me, X don't
seo why?" 1 murmured, ull tho time
knowing why that ho cared for me.
Then before ho could answer my
tactics question I usked another:
"How can Blanche Orton endure
them? Sho is educated, accom
plished, dainty. As I spoke I re
membered what she hud said about
resting so she would bo nt her best
when sho was going to bo bored.
"if shu wusu't ull those, .things she
wouldn't bo tho kind of u woman
who could help In promoting. Add
to what you havo said, cleverness,
need of money, lovo of luxury, and
you hnve tho typical women nld to
any promoter."
"Taen you think that"
"That you havo causo to fear
her?" reading my thoughts uncan
nily. "I do not think so not In tho
way you mean. She Is fascinating
and very beautiful: Hut a man with
a w'.fo like you would hardly allow
himself to bu duped by a woman of
her typo. Thon too when men and
women aro In any sort of business

they seldom huvu love affairs also.

I was so relieved I sighed nudlbly.
This man's pluln common sense view
of tho matter had taken away tho
Jealousy I felt at least for tho pres

Powers, nnd others said Is truu?
That Nell. Mr. Forbes Is not quite

thu question, yet I must know.

"Do they blamo Nell for being so
I was going to say generous, but
Instead I changed to 'extravagant'?
For this?" I gestured to Include
house everything.
"Yes. They say ho uses other peo

profits ho promises. I am sorry.
Hut 1 must tell you tho truth."
"No wonder Lorralno und you

"You are young, Just put them off

"You aro tho only real friend I

sively, giving him both my hands.
Ho drew mo to him, kissed mo once

"Republlcun meetings nowadays
rnrnind me of tho old times," said
Halley Springs, republican commit
teeman from Choctaw county and
who always officiated as thu Kiaml
tla county representative In the
Indlnn Territory days. "For several
years It required a warrant to S'J
enough republicans together to. at
tend to the official duty of keeflns
tho party together. Since the b
vembcr election republicans hae
been attending everything, and I n
sorry to say thero are thoso already
anxious to havo two or threo repub
lican parties. Wo have hard enoufn
time keeping ono to thn front and
havo to get a lot of help from dem
ocrats now to win." .
Springs Is a Choctaw nnd his mind
very evidently hnrks back to the eld
days when tho Washington depart
mental rulo was thn only r.iy ol
light to political dwellers ln tn
Indian country.
