In 1901 ha abandoned the legal profession to engage In the banking business. About the same time he began to take an ac tive Interest In political affairs and in 1910 iie was nominated and elected governor of Oklahoma on the Demo cratic ticket. In 1S93 Governor Cruce was married to Miss Chickie Le Flore, a young Indian woman. A HAPPY HOME-COMING. The husband who comes home from his dally toll, whether working for small or large pay. must appreciate the presence of a wife well gowned and restfully awaiting him, and children equally well feroomed and showIns every evidence of maternal care. A woman does not need to be a slave to drudgery, but a happy homebuilder. ' Hewitt's Easy Task soap is of the greatest help to this blessed condition, because it lessens the labor of keeping the home and all that pertains to it clean, wholesome and attractive.

The Decision

The decision of Judge Fox on the interurban situation is of course a victory for the T. II. I. & E. As far as the legal side of it is concerned action by the county need pot stop here. The complaint may be amended and a change of venue asked. And tha complaint "will not have to be substantially amended in order to get it before another tribunal. On reading over the decision of the court the average man will not be impressed with the clarity of the decision it will not inspire him with the feeling that the county is dead wrong and that the T. II., I. & E. is the under-dog. The decision -seems to be of a sort that progressive states are getting away from. The emphasis is laid rather on the vested rights of property rather than on the vested rights of the community. Yet it would be wrong to lay the blame entirely on the court for he scarcely departed from the spirit of former decisions affecting interurbans or the temper of the legislatures that have made the laws. To our mind there is more stress laid on the public necessity than on the questions at. issue of police power. The question of whether the county has the right is a different one from necessity and the expedient thing may demand the former. The idea that a company may violate the terms of its franchise for years and not be held under them because the public officials have not forced the question will not appeal strongly to the individual citizen. Therefore when we speak of this decision as unsatisfactory from the public point of view we are looking at it from entirely another point of view than from that of legal procedure. We are looking at it from the point of view of the public temper which has charged the course of law and decisions in the United States. We need not Btate that the change has been away from the vested property rights. At the same time decisions of this sort when absolutely fair under the law and the case has been the means of turning whole states into a readiness for public utilities commissions with full power to regulate public service corporations in a different manner than the present state of things. This question really resolves itself into a question of the supremacy of the public service corporation over the state's police power. Whatever else may be said the interurban companies in this state have been singularly immune from adverse decisions and have run loose without regulation. We hope that this will not end here but that the question will be settled absolutely not only for. this county but for all the counties in the state.

JOE CHAMBERLAIN IS 75 YEARS OLD (National News Association London, July 8. Joseph Chamberlain, who a few years ago was the most conspicuous man in British political life, celebrated his seventyfifth birthday anniversary today, having been born July 8, 1836. In honor of the occasion meetings were held throughout the country by the var ious branches and federations of the Tariff Reform League. At hia home in Birmingham Mr. Chamberlain received a veritable flood of congratulatory messages from all parts of the empire. His home city was profusely decorated In honor of the occasion and a great public demonstration was Jneld. Al though Mr. Chamberlain's health has shown some signs of improvement the past year, it Js not believed he will ever be in condition to again take an active part in public affairs.

Only the country liver can fully fee) It. this dying of night with the birth of day, this supreme moment when the mists and dimness and low voices of the one exhale Into the melody and brightness of the other.

News Forecast For Coming Week

Washington, D. C, July 8. The Georgia legislature will take its first vote Tuesday for the election of United States senator to succeed the late Senator Clay. The result of the contest is awaited with considerable interest, chiefly because of the prominence of the several aspirtants for the toga. Among those who are regarded as candidates for the senatorship are Governor Hoke Smith, Senator Terrell, "Tom" Watson and Col. Pleasant A. Stovall, of Savannah. Republicans of Kentucky will nominate a State ticket at a convention to be held in Louisville Tuesday. Judge E. C. O'Rear of the Court of Appeals, is their probable choice for governor. No instructions are proposed for United States senator, and probably none will be given. The progress of King George and Queen Mary in their tour of the United Kingdom promise to furnish the most of the week's news from the other side.

The Wends, who, we believe, are the ancestors of the modern Prussians, are the center of many legends.

Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright, 1903, by Edwin A. Nye

AN OLD-NEW STORY John P. White oow stands in tin shoes once worn by John Mitchell. Hits the bead of the United Mine Work ers of America. The story of bis rise Is the old-new story of a poor boy coming up through tribulation. His father dying when White was a small lad. leaving his mother to struggle along with six children, young John went into the mines as a trapper bo; at the age of thirteen. Of her children the mother believed John destined to high place. She was a devout Christian woman of more than average intelligence, and, while she could not send John to school, she put into his mind a keen desire for learning. The boy read everything. He borrowed books right and left. When the campaign speakers came to the mines be studied their language and words and arguments and gestures. He determined to be an orator. After a time the young man took a leading part in the discussions of the miners. After be was married, a night Bchool being opened near his home. White enrolled. While other miners slept or lounged in the saloons he, a grown man, studied by the side of lads and misses in their teens. Another thing: He had a vision of the needs of the miners and in trying to carry out his dream of their betterment became a leader. He saw their dangerous labors, tbelr isolation, their poor homes, their improvident ways and their lack of diversion. But When he tried to organize the men he lost his job. Again and again he was discharged on account of his activity. Finally he was elected secretarytreasurer of district No. 13 the Iowa district. Then came the battle of his life in getting the miners of the district to pay a larger per capita tax. His persuasive oratory won. Today the district has a fund of two to three hundred thousand dollars in its treasury. Under White death and endowment benefits were Introduced. The district has the highest standing In the country. Its contracts with the op era tors are scrupulously carried out, and a $100,000 labor temple Is to be erected for headquarters. Like John Mitchell. White has often taken the unpopular side, but he has never be t rayed the miners. I said this was an old-new story It la This is the old: Brains, honesty, Application, desire to serve bis fellows, wilt make any man distinguished. In Illustration of this fact the career of John P.

WILEY STARTS WAR For Being Off His Job for Three Days. Washington, D. C, July S. Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief of the bureau of

chemistry, "father of the pure food law, and originator of the poison squad has entered on a new crusade. He has joined the Nonsmokers of America and is making up in energy what the movement so far lacks in numbers. At present he is the sole representative of the organization in Washington. Undismayed by the hesitation of his friends and neighbors, Mr. Wiley pre dicts that within fifteen years smoking and tobacco chewing in public will have become obsolete. Here's His Sanitary Advice. In brief, Dr. Wiley advises: Don't smoke. You might get sun stroke. Don't smoke. It is filthy at times. Don't get on a car and blow your breath in other persons' faces. It is scented too highly. Chewing tobacco has gone out of fashion.- Our best people are not chewing it. If you are used to it, and must, you may drink a jigger of mellow rye, and smoke a havana cigar if you must. Join the Nonsmoker crusade and clean the universe thereby. Invasion by Tobacco Users. "A man has a perfect right to drink, chew, or dip snuff in the privacy of his home, but he has not the shadow of a right to inflict unwholesome smoke and his vile breath on the community at large," declares Dr. Wiley. "There should be a law strictly enforced by the authorities, prohibiting smoking and chewing tobacco in public places or in the cars where other persons are obliged to be." Dr. Wiley believes the crusade is in line with the general advance in sanitary Ideas, and will work the same sort of good that the crusade against expectorating on sidewalks and in buildings and street cars did. ' FLED FROM BOREDOM. The Tale of a Purposely Interrupted Yachting Cruiee. A few seasons back a well known hostess chartered a splendid yacht for August and invited a large number ot her friends for a three weeks' cruise. At first all went well, though the party was not specially well assorted, but after a few days they began to evince signs of being Bomewbat bored with each other's company. The hostess marked these signs of Incipient boredom, which became more plainly evident each day, and at last in despair she took counsel with one of her guests, an old and experienced yachtsman. "What on earth shall I do to amuse these people?" she asked. The yachtsman looked at the serene sky and calm, blue water and, shook his head doubtfully. "A storm would enliven them up o bit," he said, "but the weather looks quite settled. There is only one thinr to be done. You must arrange a break down; the engineer will manage that all right for you. He has probably often done so before. Then you must make for the nearest port for repairs and let your guests have a run ashore. Some of them, I expect, will find an excuse for bidding you goodby and those who remain with you will get along all right together." The hostess took ffer guest's advice and arrived at Toulon a day later, where nigh twenty of her guests bid her goodby. London M. A. P.

Editor, Palladium; Dear Sirs: A week ago tomorrow I came within the shining gates of your beautiful city. Quietly I have observed your people and your town, and it is my pleasure to say that the past week will enter into my remembrances ot Ufa as one of the most interesting and jnost pleasant that I have had in many years. Richmond is a city of great charm. Here nature is lavish with her gifts of beauty, aud it is plain to see that your citizens have entered into partnership with nature to make their home city a place of mark. As I have walked through your streets, my eyes have been delighted with sight of the many fine homes and ornamental surroundings. On every hand I have seen only peace and the evidence of prosperity everywhere courtesy and good business manners. Yesterday 1 found exceptional pleasure in visiting Glen Miller park. And what a park it is! How prodigal has Dame Nature been and what a wisdom gave sight to whoever laid out these grounds! My visit was made in the quiet of Thursday afternoon, and as I strolled through the park my own nature grew serene with the severity of the trees and the grass and the air, and with the joy of the birds In their aborial play places and nesting preserves. I felt an increase of the freedom and the independence of life, and knew then, as I know now, that Glen Miller park bears some relation to a Divine benediction in which God's own smiles of health and happiness shine , out as a blessing to mankind from the sun-kissed flower and trie greening leaves and grasses. I felt, too, something of the reality of the omnipresence of God and a glimpse of the Divinity of God and man and" revealed in and by nature, and I left the park a happier and a better man, to sleep In deeper peace, and awakened this day to a more Joyous consciousness of the sweetness and greatness of life. Your many business blocks, substan tial and ornate in structure, betoken commercial solidity and enterprise. Your wide clean streets made dustless by the use of oil and arbored on either side by shading trees are ap pealing to the utilitarian and beautyloving sense of conditions and things, fostering, I am sure a strong civic pride and home-loving sentiments that can but arouse the admiration of every visitor to your fine city. So, Mr. Editor, I shall, when I leave Richmond in a few days, carry with me happy recollections of your ton, her beautiful park and the many evidences I have seen of the enterprise and comfort of her inhabitants.
