At the election next spring coun-
ty officers, members of the legisla-
ture and congressmen will be elected,
and the party that puts up the best
men will win.
The constitutional convention is
doing business this week in Guthrie.
If those delegates are bound to give
us a constitution of a southern com-
plexion we hope they will use Tex-
as for a pattern- That state has
some mighty good reading matter
i i its constitution.
The Cashion Advance is advocat-
ing the advisabiltty of the state of
Oklahoma going into the wagon
making business. Woodworth savs
that the state could si ll wagons for
830 each and the trusts are selling
them at $100- Ilid idea is that the
state going into the manufactruing
business would bust the wagon trust.
Trust "bustin" is all right but now
is uot the time to advocate state
control of commodites which are
controlled by trusts. There are so
many commodities controlled by
gigantic combines that in case the
new state was to undertake to start
such an opposition there would
never be a stopping place- Now,
brother Advance the thing we want
now is not a wagon shop, but some
rattling good wording in the con-
stitution, which will daze the trusts
and combines and make them stand
up and take notice as to where they
are at when they do business in
Oklahoma.
The future success or defeat of
the Republicans depends largely upon
the Republicans themselves. There
is not a doubt but what Kingfisher
county is safely Republican by a
good majority, and the election just
passed should prove a good lesson.
The party must lay aside all petty
fights and factional differences, and
lineup to win^n the comming spring
election. Good men must be nom-
inated and then every memlxr of the
party should lay aside all personal
feelings and work for a grand Re-
publican victory,
The Advance uninvited butts in:
Get up a great excursion to the
Philipines, Japan or else where,
and take along about 10 of the
prominent republican leaders, (no
use to name them) and somewhere
fur away—lose them-—Cashion Ad-
vance.
Brother Woodworth speak right
out in meetin and makeyour state-
ments more definite.

CONVENTION IS
IN SESSION
Tuesday the constitutional con.
vention met in Guthrie. The first
session met in the Opera house.
Secretary Filson read the list of the
duly qualified members aud Chief
Justice Uurford administered the
oath of office. The convention was
organized by the election of the
choice of the democratic caucus
which was held 011 Monday evening.
W. P. Murray of the Indian Terri-
tory was elected as president. .
John M. Young, of Lawton, was 1
elected Chief clerk, \V. \V. Durant
of 1. T. sergeant-of-arms, Pat Oates j
of Alva, assistant sergeant-of-arms,
Rev. Nay lor, of Pawnee chaplain.
This week will be used in prelismin-
ary work. Several committees were
named the first day which were to
determine the future needs of the
convention. The active committees
who will have the different parts of |
the work of writing the constitution |
in their hands will probably lie named
by the time this is printed. No
republicans have been put on any j
of the committees thus far appoin- ]
ted. Nearly every member of the j
convention is a candidate for some
state office and if the republicans
will just fold their arms and stand
back they will see one of the darn
dest scrambles for ollbe they e>er
witnessed.

WAIT
The recent cold snap caused a
rush in the direction of the coal
yard and on Wednesday evening
the supply in Dover had been ex-
hausted. It would not be a surprise
if a coal famine would be the result
of more cold weather as the dealers
say that it is next to impossible to
get coal now as cars cannot be ob-
tained for its transportation. Far-
mers should bring their wood to
town now as it will be in great de-
mand.

Jack Ross in the Alva Courier is
responsible for the following elect-
ion after math.
Patriotism manifests in many and
various ways- Some people arc
willing to die for their country—
which is much harder. Some arc
eager to show their patriotism by
holding a job at a fat salary, and
some are willing to vote the party
ticket straight—just because it is
the party, while some are willing
to work in the convention, claim
after the convention they are for the
nominee, and at the election, like
the viper, turn and sting the breast
that warmed them into life. There
arc two kinds of citizens in every
town—patriots and traitors. There
is no middle ground of neutrality.
Every man is in one .or tlie other
camp. The partiot does his full
duty to his community and his
party, he votes at the general elec-
tion for the nominee of his party,
expresses his opinion and takes part
in meetings for the civic good, and
bears cheerfully his portion of com-
munity's work- The traitor lets
the other fellow do the work, and
reaps benefit by the other fellow's
patriotism; supports a candidate
in the convention and at the elec-
tion votes with the other party-
Treason consists of levying war
agaiTist the republic—or giving
aid and comfort to her enemies.
He gives aid and comfort to the
public and political enemies who
does not assist in makeing better
the country in which he dwells, or
upholding this party to which he
belongs-
Forecast Of Message.
Before leaving for Panama the
President completed his.forthcoming
message to congress and an outline
of its recommendations is given by
the Washington Post in a ijemi-offi-
cial article. Briefly summarized,
these recommendations are in the
main:
A system of progressive taxation
upon large inheritances,
Government supervision, by lic-
ense or otherwise, of all corporations
(besides railroads) engaged in inter-
state business.
Federal legislation to correct and
reduce evils of divorce.
Publicity of campaign expendi-
tures and inhibition against corpor-
ation contributions.
Greater protection of railroad pas-
sengers and employees by adoption
of block system and eight hour day
for employees.
Exclusion of undesirable Euro-
peon immigration.
A mere elastic currency system to
prevent monetary stringencies.
Revision of the tariff will not be
recommended
The gene-al trend of the message,
therefore will be in the direction of
the better regulation and control of
great wealth and great corporations.
If the President is as successful
with his program for the next sess-
ion, he will take the first effectual
steps toward bringing national wealth
and national corporate wealth in
particular under national instead .of
local supervision. The President
has consulted jurists and legal ad-
visors, and be live 3 the way is clear
to impose progressive federal tax-
ation upon "swollen fortunes," and
lie will recommend a tax so framed
as to put it out of the power of the
owner of one of these existing for-
tunes to hand down more than a
certain sum to one individual. Follow
ing this tax he will propose a fed-
eral charter or license law giving
congress supervision over corpor-
ations doing interstate business,
which includes the large corpor-
ations of the country, "believeing it
of paramount importance that the
government be vested with this aut-
hority in order to deal effectively
with the far-reaching evils of over
capitalization.
"The President is much in earnest
in this matter,"'says the Post. And
the country will stand with him as
earnest as in bis campaign for rail-
road legislation.
Everybody Needs A Know-
ledge Of Bookkeeping
And Business.
The banker and the merchant
have to have it; their wives, as well
as other men's wives, need it, for
if the husband dies, who will look
after their business interests?
Every woman should have sufficient
business education to enable her to
look after household duties in a
business and practical manner.
The farmer needs this training just
as much as the merchant or banker,
it is true he has ,iot been useing it
as much as they; this is just the
reason he does not hold a more im-
portant place in the commercial
world today. The farmers are in
the majority, they have a right to
hold a rulcing hand of power, but
lvefore they can do it, they will have
to learn to keep accounts of their
entire business, their various crops
or fields, their labor, machinery,
stock, sale of product, etc. They
will have to learn to think carefully,
to plan and look closely after all
business affairs pertaining to their
occupation. There is no limn more
in need of a practical education,
such as given by the Cap-
ital City Business College, Guthrie,
Okla. than the farmer. We are
glad to note that the farmers are be-
ginning to realize their condition,
and the necessity of a business ed-
ucation. A number of young men
are with them at the present for
the sole purpose of qualifying them-
selves to make a greater success on
the farm- They will make leaders
in their community and honored
citizens long to be remembered.
The Capital City Business college
is the most widely known most
practical, modern, thorough, busi-
ness training school and college of
shorthand in this section.
Several loads of wood would sell
in Dover now as the supply of the
supply of coal has been exhausted.
Now you fellows with timber get
busy while you are waiting for the
snow to get off the cotton field and
bring some wood. Chopping wood
is good exercise, anyway, you know.

One of our subscribers took us to
task this week for failing, as he re-
marked to publish all that happened
It is fortunate for this particular in-
dividual that discretion occasionally
demands the ommission of unplea-
sant items- Should we publish all
that is told to us we would be with
the angels in about twenty min-
utes after our papers were mailed.
We try to print all items that are
news, or that will encourage, help
or cheer any of our citizens along
lifes rugged road. We all doubt-
less would enjoy reading ' all the
news" when it's about the other
fellow, but our policy is to turn
over to the gossips the spreading of
scandals that only leave sorrow in
their trail.
Passing of The Turkey.
One week from today is
Thanksgiving day, and the prospect
for the turkey is it will cost 20 cents
a pound. Packers are paying 13
cents for theni, live weight, and
taking about everything that is
offered. There is the usual report
that the seasons were wet, turkeys
got their feet wet, died of pneu-
monia by the thousands, and there
is to be a perfect famine-
That story is always good for 5
cents a pound on the retail market.
It never has been known to fail.
People threaten to take goese or
ducks or something else, but by the
time they figure how a plate of liver
would look alongside cranberries,
they step up to the telephone and
pr.iy to the butcher for a hen, that
will dress about ten pounds. No
mention is made of the price till
the last moment, and then it is
accompanied by a sigh.
"It may lie foolish to say it, but
the turkey is going to be a rare bird
in a short time, and an extinct bird
in but a little longer. The turkey
has to range. It will not thrive in
captivity. It ranges ten miles from
home, and then gets back if the
ncighlxjrs are not industrious.
With a range like that it does well.
The mother will take a brood away
for three months, and then return
safely for the cold weather houseing-
As the country becomes settled and
fenced, the range closes. That
means fewer turkeys. Crows pick
the little ones to death,. increasing
foxes eat them- Rain wets their
feet and pole cats suck their eggs.
No wonder the market price is 20
cents.
Say there, you, why, not buy a
quarter of beef when you can get it
for 4 cents per pound at the Dover
Meat Market.
