The American in its '-open state-

no telling where it would have gone,
perhaps to Yukon.
The American is out in an "open
statement" concerning its financial
condition and it* future. If it had
lieeu less "open" concerning its lirst
trials and tribulations the public I
would have more conlideuce in its j
present claims to stability.
Perry Republican: The public
hasn't much admiration for the news- i
paper without an opinion of its own. j
It may be a little severe in some cases
but the publication that isn't afraid '
to tell the truth is the oue t'jat lasts j
the longest and has the most sub- j
stantial friends.

The great editor of the Kl lieno
American has fallen to the level of j
the little fence corner weekly editor j
lie refers to his weak and unsophis- j
ticated contemporaries as "curs."
It cannot be possible that there is
an)- danger of White's mind Uoating
into anarchistic channels. "Curs,"
that's uot classic.—Enid Wave.
Does the big Daily mean to say iu
its "open statement" that if "Kl Ke-
no had not entered the breach" that!
it contemplated pulling its freight
If so, how long will it be until there j
will be another breach? Does it;
have its breaches monthly, or does it;
miss occasionally ? Do they occur
only when it has stock for sale, or ;
does the worry and trouble over un- \
paid bills bring them on '' If Kl Re- j
no is to keep these breaches tilled, it j
might be well for her. to not only j
consider well the size of the breaches, j
but the frequency of their occurrence
Foremost men iu the democratic
management say that no attempt to \
formulate national issues for thej
cauipaigu of 1901 will be encouraged
for the present. They will await the
results of the campaigns now ou in
Ohio, Maryland. Virginia and
Massachusetts. The results iu those
states may develop valuable data for
determining the trend of democratic
sentiment among the masses. Anoth-
er essential preliminary is to whip
the republicans in 1902 before the '
people for the control of the house
of congress. After that will be the
better time to make up a platform
that will retlect democratic opinions
and win the united support of those
antagonistic to the republican pro-
gram.

Oklahoma City is wrestling with a
liig sewer steal. The limes-Journal
says that a Mr. Williamson backed
by hanker Turner, Halsel Overhal-
ser and others, put iu a bid for the
construction of Interal sewers iu or-
der to head off a steal which they be-
lieved would be committed on the
public, and in doing so figured nine
thou Baud dollars profit to themselves
and and about ten thousand dollars
below the other fellows, aud strange
as it may seem this bid was rejected
because it is claimed 110 certified
check accompanied the bid. The
bidders in this case say that this ex-
cuse was absolutely false and was
meant to excuse the devlish work of
the council majority.
Oklahoma City should lake a few
lessons iu sewer construction from
Kl Reno. Our entire -ystem, in-
cluding three principal laterals cost
a little less than nine thousand dol-
lars.

This outfit has not been here long
enough to know the conditions of
this city when the present manage-
ment took control. They do not
know that the town was selling war-
rants at about the same price per the
dollar that stock in the American was
bringing a few days ago. They do
not know that this management has
liquidated thousands of dollars of
the city's indebtedness, and built a
sewer system second to none in the
territory, constructed over ten miles

Farmers Attention.
The El Reno and the Canadian Mil-
ling companies have received a car
load of Russian seed wheat. This
wheat is a very fine variety and ex-
tremely hardy. The companies will
dispose of this wheat at exact cost, 8:1
per bushel and each sack will contain
3i bushels. There is no doubt that if
the ground is properly prepared and
clej,n that the farmers can dispose of
all they raise next fall for $1 per bush -
el for seed wheat. Every farmer should
be sure and secure some of this wheat.
