Those Oklahoma democrats can trot
out their sample of a constitution. By
it will they be judged as to their fit-
ness to run the state.
it is true that nature has turned up
the noses of some aristocratic people
and nature has saved some people the
necessity of turning theirs up.
President Roosevelt is not kicking
at the criticism which bolds him re-
sponsible for the outcome in the late
election. He is all right and so is bls
party. •
What Oklahoma will be politically
is not absolutely decided but that she
hag democratic leanings is deducible
from her vote for members ot her
constitutional convention.
Galveston News puts the net gain
of democratic congressmen in the last
election at 29. This would leave the
republicans a majority of 54 in the
next congress. That is enough.

As the press opinions of the state

to hand the real merfts of the expo-
sition are set forth with increasing
clearness. Thanks for the notices.
The democrats seem to take great
comfort over the results of the elec-
tion. and the republicans are them-
selves smiling at the returns. Where
both parties are so well satisfied
there should be no kicking at each
other.
Houston is having her carnival to-

TRANSIT TO FAIR GROUNDS
Double tracking the Une to
i the fair grounds is again agitated as
tt Is always after each meeting of the
exhibitors fair comes ho.da
' Its exhibits and closes Its gates the
necessities of the transportation ayn-
tern come up for a short consideration
। and the matter is dropped until anoth-
er vear calls It up again. Double
tracking three miles of track with the
proper weight of rail and patting the
street Into cond’tlon so that It would
be sate for wagons to travel the road
j with that track doubled is no light
I proposition when It is so certain that
i the track could not possibly pay re-
' turns on the Investment. Not only so
[ but the number of cars required to
' make that long haul to the fair
grounds would compel the traction
'company to keep In reserve almost as
many cars for the ten days of'the fair
ground service as are now required Cor
the other service of all the city lines.
It costs money to provide these cars
and hold them as Idle capital. It costs
money to lay three miles of track
upon a proper granite roadbed
and to prepare the street to sustain
the traffic that must pass upon it with
that double track occupying the high-
way. These things require considera-
tion as well as the necessities of
the fair ground transit and when one
is considered the other should be.
There are not two opinions of the ne-
cessity of a double track or a belt line
to the fair grounds. The present meth-
od of reaching the ground is not sat-
isfactory to the street car people the
Sap folks or the people who make the
trip. That some relief should be af-
forded in the premises Is apparent
and the sooner the matter is taken up
between the citlsens. the fair ground
management and the traction company
the better. That the fair Is to con-
tinue to continue to grow to become
a more important exhibit from year to
year Is absolutely certain and the
time has come to consider the beat
means of putting the people from this
city down on those grounds. The
Light is of the opinion that the wis- i
dom of the traction company and tna
fair management acting in concert |
with the city and the business men of .
the city could reach some satisfactory 1
conclusion. It is a matter of practi-
cable methods.
THAT PITTSBURG RECORD.
Pittsburg Is in the limelight now as
the latest center of crime in the Unit-
ed States. Her .record is a good one
with three murders one attempt at 1
crucifixion and several holdups in the
street accompanied with violence and
all within 24 hours. This is but the
culmination of a two week s reign of :
terror in which so great has become
the necessity that extra police are put
on the streets by the mayor and the
director of the public safety. There
has been no special reason for this
condition of affairs beyond the fact
that general cussedness seems to be
the order of the times and Pittsburg
seems to be the last city into which
the cusses have blown themselves.
That the ordinary measures of correc- I
tion for criminals and those with crim- j
fnal Intent and instincts are inade-
quate; that it is not punishment for
commission of crime but prevention
of the crime Itself that Is to be aimed
at is growing more and more appar-
ent. The thought of those entrusted
with the care of the cities and resjion-
sible for the order of communities
turns more and more in the direction
of crime prevention. The experi-
ments of the juvenile courts are be-
ing watched with increasing interest
on this account as possibly affording
a solution of the question what shall
we do with our criminal classes? There
is no such a thing as preventing the
commission of crime by confirmed
criminals. The history of all our cit-
ies and the records of our courts and
the list ot convicts in our penitentiar-
ies tells this truth. The only remedy
remaining is that of preventing the
growth of criminals. The juvenile
court alms at this and in view of the
failure of the old methods wisdom
and good common sense both demand
that a full opportunity to test the val-
- tie of the juvenile court under all pos-
sible conditions be given. If these
prove ineffectual it would seem to be
a bopeles case and more Pittsburg
records inevitable for uncounted years
I to come.
CANADIAN RECIPROCITY.
James J. Hill the great railroad
magnate with his immense interests
' in the northwest is of the opinion that
it is to the Interests of the northern
states to conclude some reciprocal
trade relations with Canada. He ar-
gues the need of increasing our trade
' wi'h the great northwest In view of
i the increasing importance of that sec-
tion and the growing trade that lies
। ready to our hand there if we will
I open our doors to It ( Trade reciproc-
ity is not so much a fad with the Unit-
ed States today as it was a few years
since and it is growing more and
more to be accepted that any exchange

us must and will operate to our div
advantage. The real foundation for
a wise reciprocity Ilea In the differ-
ence of the commodities to be ex-
changed. and not In their similarity.
Canada has nothing to offer to th •
United States that the United States
cannot grow or produce for herself.
Canada particularly that great north-
west is pre-eminently a grain grow-
ing country and her desire for reci-
procity is grounded on the fact that
it would open the American market to
the vast grain fields of her northwest.
But this would flood the market with
a volume of grain that would crush
the life out of our American grain
growers. It would lower the price of
flour but It would put the great Amer-
ican northwest out of the market as
a grain growing district and that de-
struction would not be compensated
for by a little cheaper wheat. Reci-
procity on both sides Is al! right but
reciprocity on one side In not right.
Before the men who have grain to sell
In the United States from the Cana-
dian fields and the railroad magnates
who desire to make a great traffic In
wheat from the Canadian fields into
the markets of this country before
these persuade any community to en-
ter the field to fight for Canadian
reciprocity it would be In order to sit
down and count the cost of the pro-
posed exchange to this country. It will
take more than there has yet been
shown to convince the protectionist of
this country that he wants free trade
with Canada.
Jerome passes judgment on Hearst
as the man who honeyfugled the New
York state democracy and prevented a
sweeping victory at the late election.
This because Hearst would not come
squarely under the democratic tent
but stood only under the flap and de-
nied the power of the democracy to
wave its colors over him. His inde
pendent move cost him a heap of
votes but It was not in the power of
the democracy to carry the state leg-
islature or the congressional districts
on any issue. There was a fictitious
importance given to the state ticket
on account of its supposed connection
with the national nomination of the
democratic party two years hence
but the sentiment of the state as to
national politics was republican.
The charge is made that Bryan's
views on government ownership cost
the democratic party several sea’s in
congress. That would be an easier
proposition to put down than It would
be to prove But it is not so hard to
prove that the government ownership
proposition is not taken kindly to by
the democracy any more than it Is by
the republicans. The majority of the
people are not in favor of it. and B: ynn
cannot fool them on that as he tried
to on free silver. The country knows
Billy better than it did in 189«.
PRESS PICKINGS.
Austin Statesman! The campaign of
190« is a thing of the past but it will .
doubtlessly go down In history ns one
of the most remarkable campaigns ।
eier had in the United States. Re- i
markable by reason of the fact thai I
the nresldent of the United States so .
far forgot himself and the dignity of
hi* office as to sink to the level of a
petty ward politician and butt into
the political manipulations of a ntate
election. Certalnlv no counterpart of
thin should ever ajain be tolerated by
The people of the United States.
The past reveals no parallel care of
such a public affront to the dignity of
the highest office within the gift of
the people.
This is a fair sample of much nt the
criticism that Is passed upon the pres-
ident by southern papers although
There are others and better and stron
ger ones than the Statesman and
some of these In Texas which take a
very different view of the matter. The
Statesman evidently lost its bottle of
Mrs. Winslow before it took out its
inkpot for this tirade against Teddy.

Baltimore News: The recent muni-
cipal elections In England have been
described as a rout for the liberals
who at pie last parliamentary elec-
tions won such an overwhelming vic-
tory. Both In London and the prov-
inces the change has been very mark-
ed. and the political complexion of
many municipal corporations has been
completely revolutionised. While
this result will have some effect upon
The parliamentary prestige of the lib-
eral party yet analysis of the returns
shows that it is the outcome of local
Issues and need not necessarily Im-
peril libera) ascendency In *the house
cf commons although It is full of
warning to the party lenders. The
truth of the matter appears to be
I that the result of the municipal elec-
i dons is due to a powerful reaction
against the policy of public ownership.
' It has laid such heavy burdens upon
the taxpayers that they have revolted
and have swept from power the party
that Is responsible for It.
Thus it Is that the evidence grows
from year to year that government
j ownership of public utilities is not the
i thing that It is cracked up to be by
its advocates. The statistics show in
many instances an outlay ten times
greater for this service than tfle re-
j ceipts from that outlay return. No
| mnnleioaltty is going to long continue
to serve the public under these con-
ditions. Bryan finds nothing In the
reports from the municipalities that
have atempted municl|tal ownership
to encourage him In pushing his fad
in this country.
Galveston News. The result of the
election of delegates to the conven-
tion which is to make a Constitution
for the new state ot Oklahoma is not
truly Indicative of the political senti-
ment of the two territories that are to
be united Democrats will show wis-
dom. therefore if In their rejoicing
they also keep In mind the great re-
sponsibility that their victory has put
upon them. Whatevet advantage they
have won Is chiefly In the opportunity
which is given thqjn to serve ihe peo-
ple well. If they make the most of
that opportunity then there will be lit-
tle haxard In classifying the new State
as Democratic; If they fall they will
have ruetul reason io know that the
people can very easily reverse their
own verdict. The News Is quite sure
it is the purpose of the meu who have
been elected to make a good Constitu-
tion. and H will greatly aid them tn
that endeavor if they keep it in mind
that the cause of party victory is faith-
ful service to the people.
The statement made by the News is
pre-eminently correct The selection
of delegates to the constitutional con-
vention was a surprise party and that
because of the vote of the Indians go-
ing with a rush to the Democratic can-
didate. It Is generally conceded that
the Republican vote of the two terri-
tories outside of the Indian vote Is
Ret üblican and If the Democrats com-
mend themselves to the majority of
the voters of the new state It must be
by a conspicuous wisdom in the con-
vention that frames a constitution for
The state. It will be safer to pro-
nounco on their work after It ft sub-
mitted to the people than now. It is
as the Nows says a great Democratic
opportunity but what wUI be done with
It?
Houston Post: Mr. Hearst han re-
peatedly said that he cares nothing
for office; that he merely wishes to
be of service to the people. If he be
sincere in this oft reiterated declara-
tion he can perform great service for
the people but if the presidency be
the price of his willingness to serve
then the democratic party Is docmed
to continued defeat and Mr. Hearst
is doomed to continued disappoint-
ment .
That is so plain we wonder how any
of his friends can persist lu urging
him as a candidate for office. A man
of Mr. Hearst's radicalism pugnacity
and vaulting ambition can never be a
wise or safe leader. The country needs
the services ot a prudent cautious
statesman who can compose some of
the most serious difficulties which con-
front the people. Some evils certain-
ty ought to be smashed but wholesale
-mashing may accentuate rather than
abate injustice.
The democratic party is not without
wise statesmen. If Mr. Hearst will
strive with others to elevate men who
are temperamentally suited for great
tasks be will be a great help. But the
denghbag and the sandbag are not
democratic weapons and will never
achieve democratic victories. Any-
body ought to be able to see that.
With the conclusions of the -Post
there is nothing to be said nothing to
urge against their sound conclusive-
ness. But what the Post thinks as
to what is the true course for Hearst
and what Hearst himself thinks that
is another matter. Hearst has not
ftepped down and out any more than
Bryan has. They will both give the
democratic party a whirl two years
hqnce.

CAN RADIUM BE TAXED?
Board of Customs Anpraisers Consid-

New York Nov. 14. —The Board of
Customs appraisers here are again to-
day considering the question of the
taxation of radium. Whether It is a
chemical or a salt of uranium is the
puzzle that the customs officials are
trying to solve.

small consignments of radium have
been received here. and. as the Ding-

vision for it and it was taxed at the
