A Trip To Cooper
:: To Hear Dennis Flynn!
On Monday, September 24th, the
j,i editor of the I'hkss, in company
with A. A. Crist. took a most fii-
jovnhle trip to our neighboring town
on Blaine county's oasiern bonier.
After being confined to our room
for I went v-tive days, twenty of
which we were practically confined
to our bed. it will not be hard to
i-irvjtiti ' whit a pleasure it was to us
to lw once more permitted to breathe
the fresh, pure air, so bountifully
supplied t > those who are able to
enjoy ami appreciate it.
At about 2:30 or a:00 o'clock
Mr. Crist drove old "Loath" around
to the foot of the stairway where we
descended so hurriedly on the morn-
ing of the 3tnh day of August, aim
climbed so slowly and painfully a
half hour liter, and which we had
been unable to descend since. AN e
carefully wended our way down
again and took our place in the
t ip bug::y so kindly and thought-
fully provided by Mr. Orist.
Every farm house, orchard, bridge
and change of landscape, which we
passed as old Loath sped onward left
au impression on our mind that it
will take a long time if it is ever
effaced. When we reached Cooper
we were informed that- there was a
fair being held ti e e. and it we
wished to hear Dennis Flynn we
must go south a halt mile and turn
in at the first house on the left and
drive out to the fair grounds. Upon
reaching the pavilion platform, oil
account of the weakness of our
pestiferous pedal extremity we were
compelled to participate only in the
picnic of the pacific people, as we
could not pass around to view the
exhibit of pumpkins, peaches, pie
melons, peanuts, popcorn, potatoet>
poultry, Poland chinas and porch-
erons. However, the Omega Cornet
Hand was there with its bright, new
uniforms and rendered some stirring
selections of patriotic music in very-
creditable style, which was gladly
listened to by the assembled audi
once.
A horse race was run on the new
race course which attracted some
attention, but we could not get near
enough to see. W e learned after-
wards that the winning horse came
nut ahead of both the others.
Well, we went to hear Flynn,and
at this juncture someone shouted the
name of "Flynn," and someone else
shouted "Here lie Is," and then for
a short time every thing was bustle
and confusion, and some"kid" stum-
bled over our broken leg, which we
had extended to its utmost length,
siid made us feel like confusing
him.
By this time quiet was again
restored and some gentleman whose
name we could not hud out, in a few
well-chosen words introduced the
lion. Dennis T. Flynn, the widely
Mr. Flynn spoke a little more
than an hour and from first to last
held the closest attention of his
lies.rers,wind blowing almost agale.
The people had come out to hear the
history of the Free Homes bill and
liis heroic efforts to secure its pass-
age, lie gave it in detail, lie was
frequently applauded, and we notie
ed that those wearing Bryan badges
were as earnest and vociferous in
their cheering as was anyone
there. M r. Flynn spoke of the many
hours of anxiety anil care he had
experienced; of his soliciting and
opportuning of thoughtless and care
less friends of the measure; of his
battle with enemies who antagonized
him in many ways; of his persistence
in bringing the bill before the
House, and of his final success in
securing its passage, and reached
a climax when he detailed the ac-
count of procuring the President's
signature. In fact his whole dis-
course was replete with climaxes.
During his address lie was often
cheered, but not with caterwauling
and peanut gallery whistling, so
often heard at public gatln rings,
but by the overflowing of pent up
feelings. The people had heard
the Free Silver arguments of the
opposition, but they appreciated
more the *10,000,000 poured into
the Oklahoma Territory by the
enactment of the Free Homes law
than all the Free Silver that Bryan-
ism can pour into the pockets of
bullion owners in the United States.
Mr Flynn thanked the voters of
all political parties who had helped
to s.ncII his former majority to
10,000,and also those who had given
him credit for "doing his duty"
while in congress, and left such a
feeling of good will and gratitude
with the people that his name will
live in their memory forever
Mr. Barnes, not Governor C. M.
Barnes, of Guthrie, but B. S.
Barnes, a plain, common business
man, of 1'onca City, spoke ten
minutes after Mr. Flynn had closed
his address, and his remarks were
pithy, pointed and pertinent. He
made many warm friends, and came
in for his share of the general hand-
shaking tnat followed.
The home stretch of our trip was
uneventful and we reached the sanc-
tum somewhat tired but very much
rejuvenated in spirit and energy.

State Committee and candidate for
governor, when he said: "My own
campaign is a secondary considera-
tion. If it came to a point where
either the national or the Slate
ticket had to go down, 1 would
cheerfully go down myself."
Slowly but surely New York is
displacing London as llie world's
liuancial center. The placing of u

of the change.

The Philippine Commission is
preparing to spend 81,000,000 to
improve the niauila docks, without
asking the consent of the Philipinos.
Mr. Bryan should not overlook this
flagrant instance of governing with-
out the consent of the governed.
There Are Others!
If you lose the risk you're after,
there are others; if you are duped by
liais, there are others; don't succumb
to fell despair and your undergar-

One of the Itothchilds is credited
with having said that acquiring
foreign territory and responsibilities
would injure the credit of this
government. The evident envy a?:d
jealousy of the eminent financier
caused him to overlook the fact that
since our acquirement of foreign
territory we have refunded our
bonded indebtedness at the lowest
rate of interest ever paid by any
nation. Our credit to-day, after
expansion has become an accomplish-
ed fact, is better than that of an\
nation on earth.
