Mock Show
Chicago, 111., Dec. 3.—The exposition
was formally opened Monday night in
tbe presence of fully 15,000 people.
Walker Hall of Vernon was among the
speakers of the evening and the Pan-
handle orator captured the crowd. He
was proceeded by Gov. Richard Yates,
Mayor Carter H. Harrison and Secre-
tary of Agriculture James Wilson, but
when the Texan had spoken not more
than three minutes, notwithstanding It
was nearly 10 o’clock when he arose,
the brilliant audience gave him the
closest attention, and it took but a
short while to keep them yelling and
cheering.
A wealthy business man who runs a
farm for pleasure, but -on bifsinesF
principles, refused to buy a corn-reaper
that left a tail stubble. The Maine
Farmer explains that on well-grown
corn the reaper that leaves six incher
of stalk standing wastes st least a ten
to the acre of valuable fodder, on^
tenth of the crop. Beside this lllumin
atlve incident we place tbe brief but
pointed speech Mr. Schwab made when
he assumed the presidency of the
United States Steel company: “There
must be a constant effort to look after
the little things.’’ That is “business,’’
whether a man controls -a blllion-dol-
lar corporation or a ten-acre farm.
“The extent of the favor to the gov-
ernor or his friends is suggested by
the fact that the only known sale of
the stock since the contract was given
out was at double the price paid for IL
"As a performonce of the contract
was to be the sole business of the
corporation it is obvious, either that
the territory was obligated to pay for
more than the service was worth, or
that its helpless wards were to have
the enormous profits contemplated tak-
en out of their keep.
"The governor’s confessed relations
to the matter disclose such an entire
lack of appreciation of the high judi-
ciary nature of the duties of hisjif-
fice as to unfit him for
discharge.
"A chancellor would
moment retain a trustee
Ings for the trust, reserved an advant-
age to himself. The thought is not to

lic’s interest

Thomas B. Ferguson of Watonga,
Ok., went to Oklahoma in 1889 and set-
tled In the Cheyenne country when it
was opened to settlement in 1891. He
has conducted a newspaper at Waton-
ga since. For four years he has been
chairman of the Republican territor-
ial committee.
Tests in the cultivation of
made last year, show that,
planted whole or cut, the large pota-
toes gave the biggest *ylelds in every
ease; but when the financial results
were looked into, it was fqund that the
biggest profit was made by planting
whole large potatoes, and the next
largest profit from whole small ones.
In taking this action the
atached the following memorandum:
“Gov. Jenkins of Oklahoma is hereby
removed because of his improper con-
nectlor with a contract between the
territory and the Oklahoma Sanita-
rium company. The decision is based
purely upon his own written state-
y—nts and his oral explanations of
them at the final hearing.
"One of the duties of the territoral
governor is to enter into ■"contract
with some person or corporation for
the proper keeping of the insane of the
territory. Gov. Jenkins made such
contract with the Oklahoma Sanato-
rium company, a corporation, the pro-
moters of which reserved *10,000 of
its stock for the governor and subjects
to his orders.
‘”n the governor’s explanation of the
tion the contract ’that it was an im-
at the time they desired him to sanc-
tion the contract, ‘that it was an im-
portant contract, and that I had some
friends whom I would like to have in-
terested in the company, to whom I
owed some political obligations, which
I would not be able to pay by an ap-
pointment or anything of that kind.'
The stock was delivered to a banker,
subject to the governor’s orders, and
was turned over to these friends,
whose political services the governor
thus sought to reward.

London, Dec. 2.—“Buller Sunday"
passed without serious incidents. The
government had taken precaution to
prevent disturbances. This included
the reading at three parades of a spe-
cial order in the military regulations
which forbids officers or soldiers from
"taking part in any meetings, demon-
strations or processions for party or
political purposes.’’
A large body of police, many of
whom were mounted, were stationed
along the line of the procession.

Washington, Dec. 8.—Opinions were
rendered in the United States supremo
court in tbe last two insular cases.
One of them was that known as Tbe
Fourteen Diamond Rings Case, involv-
ing the relationship of the United
States to the Philippine islands from
a tariff point of view. Tbe other was
known as tbe “Dooley case No. 2." in-
volving the constitutionality of the
colectlon of duty on goods shipped
from New York to Porto Rico.
In the former case the court,
through Justice Fuller, held that the
diamond rings brought in from tbe
Philippines, and over which the con-
test arose, should have been exempt
from duty under the
that treaty made
American territory,
the Philippines case
that of the Porto Rican case last term.
In the second Dooly case it was held
that the duty collected on goods car-
ried from New York to Porto Rico was
permissible, but that it was in reality
a tax for the benefit of the Porto Ri-
cans themselves, rather than an ex-
port dutyias claimed by the mer-
chants who antagonized the govern-
ment in the case.
In both cases there were dissenting
opinions, concurred in by four of the
nine justices of the court.
It is generally believed that the find
Ing in the Philippine cases will lead
to early efforts to secure legislation
for the regulation of our commercial
relations with those islands. As Por-
to Rican opinion sustains the constitu-
tionality of the Foraker act, no such
necessity will arise with reference to
Porto Rico.
In the Philippines case the opinion
was adverse to the claims of the gov-
ernment on the ground that the Philip-
pine Islands, at the time the rings
were brought into American territory,
were domestic territory. The decision
in the DeLima Porto Rican cases were
cited at length, and it was held that
the resolutions adopted by congress
concerning the Philippines were not
sufficient to change the situation.
The chief justcie concluded his
opnoin by reversing the decision of
tbe court below. ———
The chief justice concluded his
curving in the result, but differing
from the conclusions drawn on minor
points, while Justices Gray, Shiras,
White and McKenna dissented.
