Washington Man Says DemocratWill IVin In First Battle for In

fant State and Tens Why

Wb is to be the first governor of thenew State of Oklahoma

This Is a question which ie being3wt new by many persona In WMblng-10ft for a dMI of interest te manifestedat the National Capital regarding theprobable political complexion or the

StateThe constitutional convention for Okla-

homa wHl convene at Oklahoma City onNovember t and the action taken by thiscottvantton will determine the States dlvfeten fate Judicial Congressional andassembly districts It is understood thatlira national committees of boUt partiesfoave sont worker out there and floodedUM two Territories with literature for thenatives are new at the game of politicsand a most exciting campaign hi preftfetai

According to the views of a wellknownWashington attorney who has spent styeror years in the Indian Territory andwto is personally acquainted with thepeople and the conditions there a Demo-

cratic governor is a foregone conclusionIt seem to have been agreed upon toothat the Oklahoma Territory Democratsare to be allowed to namethe guberna-torial candidate while those the la-dtan Tarrltsry side ace to have the sayeenoarnbis the rest of tile State ticketthe Democratic nomination being regard-ed according to this authority as equiva-lent to election

After as careful a canvass as can bemade said this gentleman to a Heraldreporter yesterday it is now concededthat the new State will b Democraticand that the Democratic candidate forgovernor will be elected provided thereIs no potsonal objections to him

The Territory of Oklahoma has al-ways been close politically DennisFlynn was elected Delegate several timesand the present Delegate Bird McGuirewas elected by a very narrow marginBut ny Democratic votes were cast forboth of these delegates by reason of thefact that in the cue of Flynn he wasendeavoring to secure the passage of theFree Homes bill and In that of

It was thought best to have a Re-publican representative at Washington tethe interest of the Statehood bill Nowthat those measures have passed theparty lines will be drawn again

Tha Indian Territory which joinsOklahoma in the State election is un-questionably Democratic by a large ma-jority estimated at from SWO to Itwhich is more than enough to overcomeany possible Republican majority in theOklahoma Territory section

The moat prominent candidates forgovernor are both in the Indian Territory-

J J McAlester of McAteeter and LeeCruce of Ardmore Both of these menhave been identified with that country formany years J J McAlester is probablythe wealthiest man in the Territory Hewont to that country when the MissouriKansas and Texas Railroad known asthe Katy was building and he drovea span of mules on the dump He wasquick to recognize the value of the coaldeposits around the town named for himand became one of the heaviest coaroperators in that section of the countryHe is undoubtedly a millionaire

With all the rest he Is a commonerin the fullest aocepiatioit the term Hecaros nothing whatever for appearancelaw wife and children are members of theChoctaw nation of Indians

The principal opposing candidate is LeeCruce as different a man from McAlesteras can well be imagined

The Cruces are of a well known oldKentucky family of colonial ancestryaroAloster is the first of his line incountry to achieve wealth and distinctionand the contest between the two for

I believe means elec-tion as the first governor of Oklahomawill result in one of the most Interestingcampaigns in the history of the WesternStates

JDBIICX AS A DIVORCE CAUSE

Chicago Judge 3Iornllzes After Slgrit-inp Eigrhtysevontli Decree

Chicago Oct 21 Drlnk anti Its conse-quence is the prime factor In the prosent rush to the divorce courts MIdJudg McEwen yesterday state-ment was given to point a moral In atemperance lecture-

It merely explained Judge McEwensvlctkms after he had closed a remarkable two weeks study of Chicago

In those two weeks Judge McEwen has been the only chancellor sittingI th Sjiperior Court and therefore hisdocket has been crowded daily ferith di-vorce litigations With the cleslng ofcourt for the day he signed the eightyseventh decree since October 6

Cruelty is usually one of the conse-quences of drtnk the jurist said but tas my observation that the average nativeborn American will not strike his wife1 will go further than that and say thatthe average Englishman and Scotchmanwill also refrain from inflicting corporalpunishment upon their helpmeets Amongthe lower classes of some other nationalities the practice of wifebeating isperhaps common

Of the cases heard by Judge McEwenthere were seventythree women com-plainants and fourteen men

Southerners In Capital PayHer Affectionate Tribute

FOUR EPOCHS Or HER LIFE

Reminiscences of Wife of Inic Chiefof the Confederacy EloquentlyTolil Iiy Ilovrry of the Courtof Clnlms HcHolntions of Entceiuand Sympnthy

Every organization and society cherish-ing the sentiment of the cause of the Con-

federacy and its memoriae and membersof prominent Southern families residing In

this city neighborhood were repre-

sented yesterday in the red restaurant ofUte New wniard Hotel to do honor to thememory of the late Mrs Jefferson Daviswife of the late chieftain of the Confed-eracy

The meeting was held under Uio au-

spices of the Southern Relief Society MIssNaanks Randolph Heth presiding TheRev Dr MeKim rector of the Church ofthe Epiphany offered prayer On motionof Miss Susan Riviere Hetael a committee was appointed to draw up resolutionson the death of Mrs Davis and submitthem for adoption Miss Heth appointedSusan Riviere HeUei Sallle B HowryVirginia B Jones Ella Johnson YoungMary Tuley Jackson and Minnie F Bellinger as members of the committee

The address of the occasion was deliv-ered by Judge Charles B Howry of theUnited States Court of Claims who con-

fined himself to reminiscences growing outof his personal acquaintance sad friend-ship with Mrs Davis since their child-hood days He said Mrs Davis life con-

sisted of four Important epochs Ute lestof which was when her husband was atthe height of his political career as Sen-

ator and Secretary of War beingsocial life in this city during that time

Bright and Sail Sides of Her LifeThe second epoch in Mrs Dens life was

at the time her husband occupied the highposition of President of the Confederacyand her great responsibilities at thatperiod and her untiring devotion and loy-

alty te the soldiers of the Southern Con-

federacyTIle third period of her life was the

saddest of all and constituted the timewhen her husband was a prisoner atPortress Monroe and retirement to privatelife afty his release

Her life after the death of her husbandJudge Howry designed as the last epochof her life A life of dignity and forti-tttd and that sweetness of character sotypical of a Southern woman

We are Southern people said Judgeand devoted to the cause gone

we have no apologies to make and adhere-to our conviction He complained thatthere appeared only a few days since anumber of erroneous statements in thedaily press as Mr Davis and hisancestry whom he compared to the oldIndian chief who said be had sorer beePborn heAl no ancestry but had steppedout of the trunk of a giant tree which hadbeen shattered by Ugntatag

Judge Howry deplored that Mrs Dartshad been criticised for making her resi-dence in New York He sold that she hadfelt the criticism very keenly and spoketo him about it on many occasions Sbw obliged to liVe near her pubttshentJudge Howry explained for she felt thatshe must live where ant earned her liveli-hood Judge Howry also related that hehad had much opportunity to lookthe differences that existed between Jef-ferson and Gen Joseph E JohnstonHe that after listening to the side 6fMrs Davis who had been her husbandsamanuensis he came to the conclusionths t there were two sides to the contro-versy

When Mr Wagner author The Sim-

ple Liffc and close friend of PresidentRoosevelt was last in Washington he din-

ed on famflle one night at tho WhiteHouse There were but four at tablethe President Mrs Roosevelt MrsRoosevelt West of New York and thedistinguished author

The conversation turned upon sloopand the manner of It especially withregard to children Tho President axpressed a willingness that hh ownshould give evidence as to the point inquestion

Where are the boys he askedThey have already taken ort their

show to go to hal some one repliedLOt thorn come down anyway to

speak to Mr Wagnar said the Presi-dent

the boys were summoned to the dinIngrroem and they came IQ fatigued evi-

dently from tho days exorcist arid dis-

playing In their eye the Met that theywculd shortly be asleep

I have a very important question toput to you said Mr Wagner to oneof the boy When you sleep do youdo so with your hands wide open orwith clenched flats

Whr I dont know replied the childafter a seconds hesitation because Iam

The President at thisresponse to a psychological query theonly natural one and the boys hurriedoft to bed

One of the Industrious people of WaofcIngton on a Saturday morning is the IndtvUital who spends Ms days In the littie house within the court of the StateWar end Navy Department His abodeIs a wooden oasis In the midst of a stonedesert and is as tool a location all theyear round as Is possible to imagineBy profession he is a watchman by rea-son of Ms excessive neatness he is agood housekeeper as well His businesshi to attend to the weighing of the coalthat goon into the bins of the colossalbuilding and to stand guard over thebicycles that are ranged in hundredsabout quadrangle

On a Saturday morning this faithfulwatch of Uncle Sams arbitrary resi-

dence Is as busy as any housewife withhis weekly cleaning All the furnishings-of his miniature shelter are removedEven the carpet is taken up for thesweeping and scrubbing The calendarsare dusted the wash pitcher Ailed thecushions of the easy chair aired andthe Clock wound The medicine bottleare wiped deaR and the pteee renderedhomelike and attractive

It the view of Innumerable depart-mental windows stretching to the sky-line on four sides ever pans upon thewatchman he at least has the satisfac-tion on a Saturday at 12 oclock of sittins down to his lunchspread board sadbeholding the limit of his domainthrough Immaculate win uw panes

The trophies of war that have hithertodecoraed the lawn of the north frontof the State War and Navy Departmenthave been removed to positions of moresolid base The Spanish guns takenfrom the of Admiral Montojos floutfan Manila Bay have been of such enor-mous interest to sightseers in Washing-ton that the immaculate appearance ofthe town has suffered materially fromthe pressure of many feet The superin-tendent of buildings and groundswishing to preserve the beauty of thiswonderful stretch of green than whichthere is no other of equal splendor intown has decided upon the placing ofthe cannon at the entrances to variouspublic m enter that the Amer-ican patriot may behold the nationaltreasure trove at close range whilestanding upon a Seater foundation thanTimothy turf

There Is regret a welt a reason inthe attitude of Msumed by cer-

tain residents in or near Sixteenth streettoward the Washington herdic It fe oneof the lingering relies of early days forwhich we entertain Impartially sentFwent of respect and contempt

Fifteen or twenty years ago the herdicwas monarch in Washington It ear-ned residents frequently and proudly intothe popular new section of the city Itwas not exactly a monopolist there wereothers of its kind ran Today the herdic to a thing of such

as to lead to the belief that there-to but one remaining sped in existence

On a cold and wet day In winter titerswas questionable comfort in the strawthat foregathered on the herdic SootThere was heavy business too for theindividual who happened to sit in frontof the ticket box when the 4 oclock rushwas on But better far a thousand balesof straw and a permanent position asticket depositor than the present day lackof traveling convenience

A year ago this oneoflts kind coachplayed a part In a painful episode Itmay be accused of perpetrating a foot-loose trick upon an entirely innocent m-

nivfduaU Let the pubHc Judged A certainlady of the fashionable set being taughtin a snow squall took to the herdic ShedW not take to it naturally it was coneof propinquity She was the sole pas-senger and the vehicle took a pace ofunaccustomed celerity in its downroaches toward the Shoreham Hotel

The herdic is not a reposeful or raqutetmedium of locomotion once It is startedupon its lumbering way hence it happened that the sole passenger could notconvey to the driver the exigencies of hersituation when in stepping forward todeposit her fare one foot and limb madea swift descent through a hole in thefloor though she raised her voice lustilyThe unhappy iady was forced to journey-in this unnatural posture for nearly ablock before a sidewalk pedestrian catch-ing sight of the singular appendagedangling from the herdtes nota wheel at least an extrashouted to the driver to stop In thetodys chagrin at the appearance she mayhave presented though she realized therewas no circumstantial evidence as toher identity she forgot her resentmentagainst the herdic company

Upon viewing the situation the driverremarked Exactly what rye been ex-pecting to happen all along

Now if the herdic ot a year agoIn title condition of decrepitude

and presupposing that there is but oneof its species in circulation Is it not natu-ral to assume that in the present yearof grace it is ready to be pensioned offand placed In a home for the aged forthe balance of its days Is it unreason-able that the residents In the vicinity ofMeridian Hill should crave a speediermeans of transit than the upmated lonesome hftrdie

PEETTY ONES HAVE A

fatiieas and Efficiency Often Ilny aGreater Part in Getting PositionsTlinn Personal Attractivenejm Dlf-

fcrenceo of Opinion Among Men usto Beauty in n Stenographer

Fen UM Ortoie ChwiiM-tSevernl young men were sitting In a

downtown restaurant the ether day Theywere sipping their coffee and one of themremarked upon the artistic surroundings-

Yes volunteered one of the men thisis a pretty place The decorations are Ingood taste the menu to excellent anti thecooking Is all that can be desired butlook at the cashier

The only thing they need in this res-

taurant said another young fellow af-

ter he had taken a good square look atthe cashier is a goodlooking womanthere at tile desk It seems to me thata pretty cashier is indispensable

And this brings up the question as towhether the pretty girls chances for set-ting work are any better than those oftho plain or the homely one Investiga-tion among employers of girls i severalof the big concerns of Chicago brings outthe fact that pretty girls are desired onlyin certain lines of business In others theplain girl Is on an equal footing with thepretty girl and it transpires that homelygirls are In demand In some quarters

When it comes to the stage one of thefirst requirements te beauty Prettinessof face and trimness of figure are primerequisites The young woman who hasthese to recommend her has her pathstrewn with roees But the girt who goesto the average enployment agency nodattempts to get a position will And thatpersonal pulchritude is not at all neces-sary It i quite necessary however thatshe should be neat bright and alert

Cashiers Sometime HomelyIt may be a surprise to some people but

it is a fact nevertheless that some menput in orders for homely girls This isoften the case with men who are lookingfor cashiers or for stenographersa e other men however who prefer prettygirls and they are not at all bashful aboutsaying so

A B Nymaii manager of a local mer-

cantile agency says that he gets spedtteorders for homely girls It all dependsupon who te hiring he says Some menwant pretty employes and some do notThere are men who come to me for cash

they shall be pretty on the otherhand I get speetAc orders for homelygirte

As a general thing though I dont be-

lieve beauty has ranch to do with theIf a girl Is neat and elfctentj

that te about all there is to it It te thesame way with men If they are nestquick and have ability there to no trouble-at all in placing them

A good many people get the idea thatall a pretty girl has to do Is to applya position and she gets it at once Butthere te something else beefoes beauty inthe question In these days of hart com-mon sense and strict business principlesthe only thins that counts te ability Sentiment cuts very little Hgure arenot looking for artistic side theywant utility

It will be seen then that in the employmont office very little attention te paid tomere beauty If a girl Is pretty and clever

well that is another matter If she onlyhas beauty to recommend her it te notthe best reference she can bring No onehas been able to give a satisfactory an-swer to the question as to why some menwant homely girls Different opbatoashave been advanced red MBM of themmay be correct ones

consideration said one man who wasdiscussing the situation It teaufte likelythat this Is the ron why somemist upon having homely stenographersThere have been many Jokes about ther alter but it is sate to say that in reallife the matter is no Joke There havealso been some spicy scandals aired In thepublic press from time to time in whichpretty stenographers have figured andthis te another reason why homely girlsare in demand There are some men ofcourse who win they pray Lead us notInto temptation do their part and steerclear of temptation There are others whopray the prayer and then plunge headlongirte danger

But there are other men who have theartistic temperament They want their oftire furniture to be handsome and theywant handsome people about them Apretty stenographer is as necessary aspretty pictures on the walls or handsomerugs on the floor These men want everythtas in keeping These are the men whowhen they send to an employment agencyspecify that they must have pretty girlsat once When it comes to the matter ofcashiers there are some employers whothink prettiness mesas increased businessand so they are looking for pretty facesand trim figures There are others onthe contrary who think pretty girls areitcltned to be frivolous and flighty Theytar the cashiers will be flirting insteadof attending to business They are of theopinion that about as soon as the prettycashier becomes of any value to the flrmhe has been snapped up by some likely

the drawbacks to the pretty cashierPretty to Sell Clears

It Is noticeable however that girls whoare employed at cigar counters are allpretty In the hotels and little standswhere they preside may nearly always befound a number of young men who hangaiound like bees about a flower Hotel-men know that a pretty face will attractmen That te why they select pretty girlsfor such places The man who Is stayingin the hotel sees a charming girl at thecigar counter He thinks he must smokyright away When he buys his cigar Itgives him an opportunity to talk withthe girl

Perhaps there te a dice box there andhe takes a few chances in that matter asit prolongs the interview And titus thepretty girl draws custom But there arenot many such positions open and when agirl once gets In such a place she usually remains for some time Many girls aredesirous of getting such places and theythrong the employment agencies for thatpurpose Some of them have ability butfor the most part they have face andfigure only to recommend them It ie

to say that hundreds are disap-pointed every year
