During the week the troops, headed by

Burlingame has secured an appropria-

Therewill be 8300 in prizes distributed

MR. ROOSEVELT AND THE GOLD
STANDARD.
Mr. Roosevelt is, of course, a stal-
wart gold standard man and he seems
to be under the impression that the
Republican party has firmly estab-
lished the gold standard. In his let-
ter of acceptance this language ap-
pears:
Th® record of the last seven years
proves that the party now in power
can be trusted to take the additional
action necessary to improve and
strengthen our monetary system, and
that our opponents cannot be so trust-
ed. The fundamental fact is that in a
popular government such as ours no
policy is Irrevocably settled by law
unless the people keep in control of
the government men who believe in
that policy as a matter of deep-rooted
conviction. Laws can always be re-
voked: It is the spirit and the purpose
of those responsible for their enact-
ment and administration which must
be fixed and unchangeable.
As a matter of fact, the Republican
party has done nothing whatever to
establish the gold standard. The mere
declaration contained in the act of
March 14, 1800. says that so much
gold constitutes a standard-dollar, but
does not contain a single provision
that gives force and effect to the dec-
laration. The Republican party has

do not like to flatly contradict him,
because we respect the high oflfee he

Perhaps Mr. Park. Mr. Milton Park,
can enlighten us. He is a great ad-
mirer of the President. We would be
glad, therefore, if Mr. Park would
tell us if Populists really suspect one
who shows a tendency to bathe fre-
quently. And. If the President is tell-
ing the truth, we should like very
much to know why Populists depre-
cate bathing Of course. we hadn’t
noticed the aversion Until the Presi-
dent called our attention to the mat-

Populists were disposed to boycott
barber shops, but not that they

the patriotic Democrats alluded to as
the “Great Unwashed,” but we believe
that Jeffersonian Democracy permits
• man to indulge in his own tastes
about bathing. That is to say, if a
Democrat feels like taking a bath
nobody would undertake to read him
out of the party. Mind you, it might
be hazardous for a chronic bather to
run for the legislature from some dis-
tricts, or at least to let the fact be
generally known, but the private in
the ranks is permitted the privilege of

—The dead body of Ben Johnson a col-
ored man about 20 years old was found
on the Texas and Pacific right of way
one mile west of Big Springs early this
morning. He hed been struck by th®
cars. His neck was broken and his arms
and body mashed. It is supposed by
the officer holding inquest that he was
struck by the east bound passenger train
No. 4.
Frank Johnson, the father of the dead
man. lives at Glade Water, and has been
notified of the accident.
For two days preceding the-meeting
of the convention the Baptist Women's
Misstonary Workers ■will meetin -the
same hall in which the convention will
convene. The officers of this body ar©
Mrs W. I. Williams, president; Mrs.
J. B. Gambrell, corresponding secre-
tary; Mrs. W. J. J. Smith, secretary.
All of the above mentioned officers re-

Simultaneously with this meeling
the annual session of the Baptist Pas-
tors’ association will be held. The offi-
cers of the Pastors’ association are:
W. S. Splawn of Bonham, president;
T. B. Harrell of St. Augustine, secre-
tary.
The business which will be brought
before the convention will be the elec-
tion of officers for ths next year, selec--"
tion of- the time and place for the next
meeting, hearing of the reports of the
officers, and also the reports of the
messengers from the various churches
over the territory as well as such other
routine business as may be brought be-
fore the body. It is said that the Me-
morial hospital will receive some con-
sideration and that a plan will be dis-
cussed and adopted tending toward the
raising of funds to pay off Ita in-
debtedness.
The hospital is only nominally in
the hands of the church and is sup-

by those in a position to know.
Hobart’s New Waterworks System.
Oklahoma City, O. T., Sept. 18.—(Spe-

and power house at Hobart, the first
improvements of the kind in the new
country, and for which the government
recently made an appropriation from
the lot sale fund, will be completed and
ready for operation by Nov. 1. Fred
Bonstedt, the government engineer,
who has had the work in charge, has
promised the citizens of Hobart that
their wants in the water line would be
satisfied at that time. He is under
contract to complete them, too, at that
time.
Soldiers Will Be Paid for Their Time
at the Maneuvers.
Oklahoma City, O. T., Sept 18 —For
the first time in the history of annual
encampments of the military of Okla-
homa the soldiers and men comprising
the national guard of Oklahoma will be
paid for their time in camp during the
progress of the maneuvers. The en-
campment will be held in this city at
Camp Putnam, the name already given
the maneuvering ground, in the north-
ern part of the city beginning Oct. 6.
The program in maneuvers will be in
charge of Major Ripley of the Eighth
cavalry who has been detailed for the
duty by President Roosevelt. One thou-
sand troops will be encamped here for
the entire week. One-half of this num-
ber will be uniformed in blue, while
ratio he likes without the aid or con-
sent of ariy other Democrat.
We supposed the Populists were
just as liberal until the President tes-
tified. and now that he has made
these assertions, we think Mr. Park,
as the high mogul of Populism in Tex-
as. ought to explain matters. We want
to know the whys and the wherefores.
TH- Populists used to charge the I
Democrats with stealing the free sn-
eer plank from them. Did the Popu-
lists steal the anti-bathing idea from
the Democrats in retaliation? Please.
Mr. Park, give us a few lines on the
Rooseveltian view of Populism.
"Thrift. Industry and busimess en-
ergy are qualities which are quite in-
compatible with true Populistic feel-
ing.” mnys Mr. Roosevelt Mr. Parte
ought to enlighten us about that also.
Is it really true?
. "Payment of debta, like the sup-
pression of riots, is abhorrent to the
Populist mind," says Mr. Roosevelt.
And "such conduct strikes the Popu-
list as Immoral.- Perhaps Mr. Wat-
gon will confirm all this while he is

CoMANCHE COUNTY scnoous
Firat Report to Be Turnea tm to Terrt-
tortai Superinteudent.
Lawton. O. T.. Sept. 11.— (Special)-
E. B. Nelson, county superintendent of
publie Instruction, today completed his
second annual report to the territorial
superintendent. This report contains
some instructive information regarding
the schools and school money of the
new county. It is gotten up in good
shape and is a month earlier than most
reports of this kind are made. It is
probably the first repo.t in the terri-
tory to be turned in to the territorial
superintendent. It will by that official
be included in his biennial report to the
governor, which will be submitted to
the next legislature for information to
that body.
The report shows that the total num-
ber of white males in the county 18
5,394; females, 4,878; aggregate, 10,272.
Colored males, 78; colored females, 47;
aggregate, 125; total aggregate, 10,397.
White male pupils enrolled in the
schools for the scholastic year 1903-04.
4,374: females. 4,019; colored males, 27;
colored females. 18: aggregate of males.
4.401; females, 4.038; total aggregate.
8.439; average males in daily attend-
ance, 2,087; females, 3,845; total aver-
age, 5.858.
The number of teachers employed in
the county is 229 The total amount
paidt each err for the year was
516.75; number of schools taught. 229;
number of days taught, 26,975; number
of visits by school directors, 382; num-
ber of visits by the county superintend*?
ent, 164; taxes levied, 113.648.85: num-
ber of school houses. 206; total receipts
from school funds, 877,724,06; expendi-
tures. 873.599.51; balance unexpended,
84,134.55, The Institute was taught four
weeks; the number of teachers in at-
tendance was 123; the number of ex-
amined was 138; the number of certifi-
cates granted was 178.
This report is perfectly complete, in
that the statiatics ofvery school dis-
trict of the countyistheluded. During
the first administration seventy-one or
the districts were left put of the report
and the majority of them failed to get
their part of the school money.
Upon this report and those of the
other counties, from the enumeration
contained therein, the apportionment of
school funds and the per capita next
year will be based.
CUSTER COUNTY COTTON RAISERS,
rhey Will Meet to Devise Means of
Getting Cot too Pkers.
Oklahoma City, O. T.. Sept 18.—(Spe-
cial.)—The eotton raisers of Custer
county will hold a meeting in Clinton
Monday for the purpose of deciding
upon some plan for the importation of
cotton pickers. The crop is ready for
picking now In that county and the
scarcity of help is being regarded with
no little alarm by the farmers.
At many places throughout the cot-
ton belt the farmers have realized
quick and effectual returns by adver-
tising in the cotton districts of Texas
where the yield is not so prolific and
the supply of help is bigger than the
demand. As a consequence the Custer
county raisers have about derided that
this method is the best and will proba-
bly at their meeting Monday adopt this
plsn. However, they will send some
representative to the Texas fields and
personally engage plckera

Dallas, Sept. .--(Special.)— The Dal-
las school bonds have st last. It is
thought, been disposed of and the re-
sult will be known in a few days. The
bonds are for 838.008 and draw interest
at the rate of 4 per cent per annum and
run for forty years. The Oak Cliff
bonds are still on the market and are
for 150,000 divided as follows: 815,000
for school purposes and 135,000 for the
general fund.

The incident emphasizes the Imme-
diate necessity of securing an asylum
where white patients from Indian Ter-
ritory can be sent. There is an ap-
propriation to defray the expenses of
caring for such persons, but up until
now the government officers have been
unable to make satisfactory arrange-
ments with any asylum for the care of
the patients. Inspector Wright is now
in Illinois for that purpose. There are
thirty applications from insane per-
sons to be taken care of by the Indian
Inspector. Some of these are now in
federal jails, others the jailers refuse
to take, and there is no place to send
them. The pressure for immediate re-
lief is becoming very strong.

turn to Dallas is not khown, but is
thought to be about Oct. 1.
tion."—The Presfdent will not make
any votes by this expfession—the
posted men. Every one con-
dorsed the idea enthusiastic-
well as predicted results a
to obtain the legislation which the
financiers agreed was necessary to
maintain the gold standard, but after
beseeching congress term after term
they have given it up as a hopeless
job, and the gold standard is main-
tained now simply because it is the
policy of the government. It could
be upset in a moment by a free silver
secretary of the treasury.
Therefore, Judge Parker’s declara-
tion that he considers the gold stan-
da rd as irrevocably fixed is quite Im-
portant for th® reason that there is
no law which can maintain it apart
from the policy of the government to
maintain the debt-paying and ex*
changeable value of all our moneys
on a parity with gold.
If Mr. Roosevelt believes the Re-
publican party has established the
gold standard, let him direct Mr.
Shaw, the secretary of the treasury,
to redeem all silver certificates in sil-
ver only, and to redeem the treasury
notes and greenbacks in either gold
or silver. He would learn quickly how
flimsy a foundation the gold standard
rests upon. The bankers of New York
could bring the question to Mr.
Roosevelt in a jiffy if they wanted to.
It was this condition that the sound
money league wanted to remedy, but
every effort has failed so far for the
reason that the Western Republican
members of congress were afraid to
adopt the sound money idea of the
Eastern Republicans. Their reply
was always that to enact such legis-
lation as would definitely establish
and maintain the gold standard would
weaken the party in the rural districts
of the West, and that it would be best
to let well enough alone. If Mr.
Roosevelt thinks his party can be de-
pended upon to enact what th® finan-
ciers regard as necessary legislation,
let him undertake it in the approach-
ing session of congress and he will
find out how badly mistaken he is.

Henderson Times:, The biggest op-

hand. Roosevelt has made a master-
ful defense of his administration, full
of tact, clothed in the tersest English,

roll up his sleeves, and present the

in a style that will challenge the
hearty applause of the long departed
spirit of the great Andrew Jackson.
