is a relic of feudalism or of the
Middle ages. The kings of olden
time used to grant special favors
or franchises to their retainers and
favorites to impose upon or rob the
the people and by our modern legis-
latures grant franchises to corpora-
tions to rob and exploit the public
at large. Of course it is for th
"public good."—M. A. C., Sheridan
Wyo. ^
W. .T. Bryan still thinks that the
Democratic party is the "Nation best
Hope" If this be true the Nation is
without hope.

THE GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP 01
RAILROADS-
The question of government own-
ership of the railroads of the coun-
try is one of profound interest to
the people in general and especially
to the business man. The man who
has large manufacturing interests or
has much freight to ship or who is a
purchaser in large quantities is in-
terested or should be in the railroad
or transportation question as he is
caught coming and going both in
shipping his stuff to market and on
his supplies which are more or less
of a bulky nature. His mower, his
wagon, his lumber, his coal, his fur-
niture, his groceries, etc. In fact it
is a business proposition through
and through. The business man or
farmer that will oppose government
ownership and control of the rail-
roads and all public utilities must
be a chump or an ass.
But how shall the public or gov-
ernment obtain the ownership or
control of the railroads? There
seems to be but three ways by gift
by purchase, or by confiscation. 1 he
corporations will be very loth to sur-
render their charters or give the
railroads back to the people where
they of right belong as long as there
is any private profit in runniug them
nor will the American people ever
confiscate the railroads without
payment to the present proprie-
tors no matter how unjust the rail-
road corporations have been in
their dealings with the people. So
there seems to be but one way left by
which the government may obtain
possession of the railroads and that
i> by purchase. It is estimated that
the entire railroad system of the
country will pay for itself in twenty
years at five per cent per annum
besides running expenses. 1 here is
no reason on earth why a corpora
tion should be given a franchise to
tax or rob the people any more
than they should have a right to
collect toll for passing along the
public roads or highways; in fact it
Every farmer in Cleveland coun-
ty should subscribe for the peoples
voice and thus show his apprecia
tion of a paper that has stood stead-
fastly by him and his interests in
the county ever since it was founded
While many in the county may not
agree with the political policy of
the paper yet no individual in the
county can truthfully say that the
paper has not been at all times on
the side of the farmer and taxpayer
and for honesty in county officials
This winter the paper will contain
much reading matter especially de
voted to promoting the the interests
of the men who raise the wheat
corn and cotton. We believe the
time has come when the producers
must band themselves together for
mutual protection from men who
have banded themselves together to
plunder the producers of the just
fruits of their industry. It is not
enougn for the farmer to simply
study how to raise a big crop; he
must also study the question of how
to get it to the consumer without
being unjustly plundered by the
middle man. What has a farmer
made raising a big crop if all the
profit in the crop goes to another.
Neglect on the part of the producers
in not looking after the the market-
ing of their products explained why
it is today that 88 per cent of the
wealth of the country is owned by
13 per cent of the people.

"Party Success," we are assured
officers of state, and of other men
conspicuous in the world of affairs,
we may indeed exercise a little more
care; but we can not provide such
safeguards as are thrown about a
European monarch without such
changes in our methods as are not
feasible." So, too, thinks Mr. Bryan
who says in his Commoner: "We can
not give full protection to our officials
merely by passing laws for the pun-
ishment of those who assault them,
neither can we give them adepuate
protection by closing our gates to
those known to advocate anarchy.
These remedies, good as far as they
go, are incomplete. We can only
bring absolute security to our public
servants by making the Government
so just and so beneficent that every

to be the principal purpose of the
next democratic campaign in this
territory. This clearly indicates
that principle is not to be thought
of if it should stand in the way of
party success. Bryan's failure to win
by making principle the denomi-
nant purpose seems to have soured
the average democrat with a han-
kering for spoils and the politicians
are now ready to espouse any old
thing or compromise the party any
old way to secure "party success."
Since Grover's exit the time between
drinks has been extending too long
to suit the average democratic poli-
tician and he is pinning for the flesh
pots of Egypt and the time to come
again when he can get his feet in
the trough and squeal for more
spoils. His capacity for absorbing
spoils, when he had opportunity
under Grover, is remembered by the
people and since he has thrown off
his guise as a reformer and is just
going in after the feed in this terri-
tory the people will know how to
deal with the critter and when the
votes are counted after such a cam-
paign as the democrats now propose
in this territory it will take about a
dozen democratic politicians stack-
ed together to cast a shadow. I he
Oklahoman further assures us that
the democratic party in this terri-
tory has been greatly strengthened
by influx of noted democratic work-
ers. The people understand these
noted workers to be old political
discards from the states who
imagine that by removal to terri-
tory that they will be picked up
greedily as democratic candidates
for office. The democrats here
you know have that "tired feeling".
perity."
"Rash or radical measures might
do infinitely more harm than good,"
thinks the Chicago Tribune and it
believes that "it would be unfortu-
nate if too sweeping a law should be
enacted against immigrants" Chari-
ties (New York), whose editor has
a close acquaintance with slum con-
ditions in the metropolis declares
that "there is no cure for anarchy
but education. There is no assurance
that the most; precious and useful
lives will be respected unless we teach
by example and precept that in-
significant lives also are worthy of
complete protection. The unsani-
tary tenement, the dangerous factory
the brutal police force, the drunken
parent, the insensate mob burning
its victim—these are seeds of an-
archism."—'TheLiteraryDigest.
The Democrats in this territory
talk as though they believed that
the Peoples Party in this territory
was safely tucked away beneath the
belt of the democratic party. When
the votes are counted next fall the
democrats will discover their mis-
take. The Democratic party is
usually run over by the band wagon
before it discovers that it is not all
of the show.
