that their services are in great de-

why the "interests" secure so much

a few men in congress wielding much
influence in the battle for legislation
in the interests of the people and for
the most part such men are new in
congress and they are desperately an-
tagonized by such influential tools of
the "interests" as Canon and Aldrich.

they must be kept in office because
they have gained influence with the re-

In that event, we had better elect
straightout republicans, who would,
of course, have still more influence
with the republican administration
than democrats can ever acquire.
The question for each of us to con-
sider is, which of the candidates for
congress is the best man for the place?

The congressman who desires to
succeed himself, and who cannot gain
votes by showing what he has already
done for the country, ought not to ex-
pect re-election.—Jeffersonian.
The present trouble with the Ameri-
can congress is largely due to the fact
that the people have kept many repre-
sentatives and senators in congress for

I liomas Pryor Gore, senator from
Oklahoma, taking up the topic of the
growth of Indian corn and the at-
tendent blessjngs which follow its
cultivation in Oklahoma, writes The
Leader anent that commercial topic,
*n which he calls attention to the
enormous value of the maize crop
and the advantages given to boys
who contest for the prizes offered by
the sovereign power and societies
working in harmony therewith. Sec-
retary of Agriculture Wilson will co-
operate with boys contesting for the
prizes and has announced his willing-
ness to send special agents to in-
struct the boy contestants, while
Senator Gore will give free transpor-
tation to Washington to the Okla-
homa boy winning the state prize,
ihe contest is limited to boys under
16 years of age, and one acre, to be
scientifically tilled. The North Car-
lina lad who raised 155 bushels of
corn on one acre, and selling it for
seed, realized $400, won the prize last
year for the states, and still that is
not a corn state, the soil and climate
both being unfavorable.
Senator Gore believes there is suf-
ficient corn land in Oklahoma, once
properly and scientifically cultivated,
to make this the corn state of the
union a tremendous statement, con-
sidering the corn crop values of Iowa,
and Illinois, the latter having been sell-
ing land for $250 per acre because of
the tremendous yield of corn on its
big prairie districts, and Iowa being
but little behind in the general aver-
age. Bulletins from the experiment
stations, altitude, cool nights, hot
winds and all those things likely to aid
or hinder and how best to avoid the
calamities, wlio will furnish their
names to Senator Gore at Washing-
ton.

all over the city enhanced, state and legislative officers. The pres-
ent outfit in charge of the state cer-
tainly merits a rebuke from the tax-
payers at the polls this fall. If the
administration of state affairs, such as
the people in Oklahoma have experi-
enced for the past few years is in
ministration have enacted and attempt
ed to enact. No political party willing
to trust the people would enact or
attempt to enact an election law that
would fetter the people in the free
exercise of their elective franchise and
a political party unwilling to trust the
people should not be trusted by the
people.

Burke has to say about the paving.
He thinks it ideal for residence dis-
tricts but is not so sure it Would be
as advisable on streets where traffic
was heavy. He does not say it would
not stand the heavy traffic; but the
petrolithic people say that it will and

It is beginning to dawn upon the
taxpayers of Oklahoma City that it is
poor business to pay the price they
are now paying for city paving. The
Oklahoman says that it has the in-
formation from an engineer of experi-
ence , ability and integrity, that a pav-
ing far superior to that now seen on
Oklahoma City's streets may be sccur-
I at a cost of only $1.00 per square
yard. A ton of crushed rock and a ton
o fasphaltum will lay from eight to
tell square yards of paving. That a ton
of rock delivered in Oklahoma City
would cost not to exceed $2.50 per ton
and of asphaltum sand from $3 to
$3.50 per ton. This you see for mater
would cost not over $6.00 for 8
square yards of paving, leaving $2 00
for laying the eight square yards
:H W°Uld be a libcral allowance.
When the people become weary pay-
ing tribute to the paving trust the
cost of securing even a better paving
than is now being put down in the
cities will not be to exceed half the
present price cities are paying. For at-
tempting to keep Norman from fall-
ing into the grasp of the paving trust
we were subjected to much criticism
by some people but we have no apo-
logies to offer believing that in a very
short time that our citizens will learn
that the criticism was unjust.
