JOHN GOLJBIE. EDITOR.
McGuire's Statehood Work.
As was to t?e expected, McGuire s factional
opponents are acutely busy disseminating their
opinion that Delegate McGuire deserves no cred-
it for securing statehood for Oklahoma, in fact
as industriously attempting to destroy his credit
as they were in attempting to destroy his ability
to secure statehood (luring the long fight anil
"when its possibility was in the balance.
But the people can be depended upon to
form a rational judgment,(and they will give him
credit for having done all that a delegate in con-
gress from a territory can do—having so initia-
ted the measure, so presented it in all its details
to the individual members, to the different com-
mittees and to the houses of congress that it
passed instead of being defeated. This is all
that any member of congress does who introduc-
es and has passed a measure for his constituents.
The only difference is that Delegate McGuire
had not a vote, and this was a limitation for
which he is not responsible.
But the jealousy of his rivals will not de-
tract from Mr. McGuire's credit in the victory
for statehood. History will forever link his name
of having added the star of Oklahoma to the flag
of the union of states. And when the story is
written, it will also be written how admirably he
handled himself in the different phases in the
passage of the bill, when a single misstep on his
part could have been taken aevantage of and
proved disastrous to the people of the two terri-
tories.
Delegate McGuire does not claim the vic-
tory for statehood. It is • perhaps his fault that
he is not spectacular. He has never played the
hero with the people. That he has not employ-
ed the megaphone methods of former Oklahoma
politics may cheat him of a certain dime novel
notoriety. But that the people will appreciate the
largeness of his work as they reflect there is no
doubt. They will see the value of Jiis unosten-
tatious work when they pick out the one item
alone of securing one million and a half acres oj
public land for Oklahoma in addition to the
amount already given to the state before. Ok-
lahoma now owns practically all the public lands
to use for its own benefit.
No, the people will not detract from Mc-
Guire his just credit of securing statehood for
Oklahoma during his term in congress, and his-
tory will not, but it will record to show that we
could not have secured it if he had not wished
it, by showing that it could have been secured
before if it had been to the interest of those who
now decry McGuire to have been sincere in their
desire for it.
A Matter of Thirty Quail in Thirty Days
It is a matter of regret that the Epworth
Chautauqua lectures have again not attracted
enough territorial patronage to stand on their otvn
financial legs. It simply shows that a commu-
nity cannot stand a greater amount of money
for its moral regeneration than its commercial
enterprises aie able to attract to the city, and
commercial enterprises are based on such tastes
and habits as are generally accepted over the
country, not on a community of people abso-
lutely obsesed of all human desirts, tastes, pas-
sions and aspirations for the myriad-multiplied
pleasures of this world. Now, if Guthrie had an
established reputation for having all the arts and
pleasures of a modern metropolis than the mere
mention of Chautauqua season would draw peo-
ple from the further confines of the state. If
you have[a pale, sickly plant you want to give it
the vital rays of the sun, if a sickly soul the red
wine of life. What the people of Guthrie need
is the vital pulse of throbbing commerce for
physical well-being, and spiritually they want
the elevation of the senses- of the great yearn-
ing passions of life, that nothing but the great
masters in the arts can supply. We are inane
enough, we have hardly inspiration enough to
look beyond iiur neighbor's back yard, but we
read of things being enjoyed by those we honor,
from the President down, and we do not consid-
er them wicked, but we will not concede the
same liberality to our neighbor.
Jack Tearney or some one had better bet
ten to one that Arizona and New Mexico will
join. Roosevelt has requested it.
Carry Nation may find that she cannot teach
morals in plain language. Sam Jones has a patent
on all vulgar methods that take with the people.
Not So Bad Yourself Old **V
Here is something that will make Freeman
Miller and some other Oklahoma poets jealou?.
We have waited the requisite time that excessive
modestv allows for some brother in distress to
give us the friendly "boost" bv quoting a tri-
bute frc m so eminent an authority as Pointers,
but perhaps fear on the part of our friends, that
praise would spoil us and the world lose our in-
comparable services through overvaulting van-
ity, has prevented them from clipping it, and so
we do it ourselves just to show that there is no
guile in us. At least we are no worse than the
editor of Pointers who tock advantage of such
an inconsequential occasion to overshadow us
to eclipse us by the display of erudition quite
beyond4the province of ordinary research, lo nt-
ers says : *' ''
John Golobie, editor of the Oklahoma State
Register, at Guthrie, is a good deal of a poet,
though he writes in prose. In a recent article,
"The Thought That Lives," he discusses Jake
Admire's comparative value of Ingall s and Ma-
lane's sonnets on "Opportunity. He say liter-
ature as an art is the highest of all arts. Few
can understand the difference between the cur-
rent and the great masterpieces of literature.'
"A book or name that remains a hundred years
is rare; thousand years is immortal. He be-
lieves "Ingall s 'Opportunity' will remain a liv-
ing thought and a rare gem in literature. The
editor of Pointers is not a literary critic, and does
not feel competent to pass judgment on Ingail's
sonnet, but he recalls writers and speakers stat
ing that Shakespeare's ability was not recogniz-
ed until long after he was dead. A few years,
ago Prof. Allen, of Missouri University, lectur-
ed in Kansas City on Shakespeare and his Con-
temporaries," in which he quoted from more than
a score of the greatest literary men and poets of
the day, and many of them ranked him with
Homer or pronounced him the greatest literary
genius the world had ever known. The compe-
tent judges were not mistaken. Erinna lived
nearly 600 years B. C.; she died in her teans; her
literary admirers, some of whose names yet rank
highest among the Greek poets, said her fame
could never die. They made no mistake. Krin-
na's poems are represented by but a few ques-
tionable fragments, but her fame will live with
literature.''
"Life is a luxury and it deserves all the
luxuries which man can conquer from nature
with his toil or his thought." This was declared
by a preacher, the Rev. M. M. Mangassarian, of
Chicago.
What to Do With the Immense Crop,
of Fruit.
Oklahoma is going to have an unquantita-
tive fruit crop this year.
All the beasts of the earth and fowls of the
air may eat and man may gorge himself on the
select, and there will still be fruit left.
All things again return to earth, but it is the
use thev are put to from birth to decay that
counts, as far as the human family is concerned.
This Oklahoma fruit that is going to go to
waste might as well pass through a preserve, or
an elixer and fill a longer destiny than to fall ou
the ground and rot.
Not a single peach, apple, grape or other
fruit should be allowed to go to waste. It would
be a shame to do so. Oklahomans should re-
member when they were deploring there was
none, and were patiently planting trees, and liv-
ing in hope, waiting for the result.
Canning factories, drying ovens, distileries
should be built to utilize the surplus fruit, There
are people somewhere hungry for it. There
must be a market somewhere waiting if we
would but hunt for it.
The fight against John Embry has been that
of corruptinn against honesty. Now that he h.is
been given the confidence of the president by a
recess appointment, let him make good by ousting
the evil doers out of high places so that the
senate cannot help but confirm him at the next
session.
Governor Cummins, of Iowa, has issued an
invitation to the governors of 45 states to a con-
ference to consider the election of United States
senators by popular vote. Shall Oklahoma have
that provision 111 the constitution?
The Oklahoman has the happy faculty of
boosting McGuire when in an attitude of kicking
him.
"Forty acres and a mule," is the cry of the
Russian peasantry. It is land hunger that drives
them to madness. Land means liberty to them.

Dreams go by contraries. Henco,
women in poetry are often spoken of
as dreams.
The trouble is. We seldom want
what we deen or need what we want.
When a man wants to make his
wife feel exceptionally badly he gets
out a needle and thread, and, with aii
[injured air, begins to sew a button
on his shirt.
It's a nice refreshing rest from bus-
iness, for a man when he comes home
to crawl around on his stomach un-
