nee has.
AS A MAN THINKETH.
AuAIN the press of the nation is filled with de-
tailed accounts of another criminal trial.
From east to the west the Hyde trial occupies
prominent head lines..
Every journal keeps up with all the doings
jof the world, good, bad and indifferent. The
treason for it is easy to understand; the press is
■in part a commercial institution, the chief pur-
jpose of which is to Rive to the people exactly the
.information they want. A newspaper which
ifailed to give the details of this unlovely case
iwould be certain to lose standing with a great
many people. There seems to be no means of cor-
recting the abuse so long as the minds of the
people are turned towards the matters which now
{occupy them.
And yet there is no question whatever that
society is made worse by the amount of atten-
tion wheh is given to the vicious and criminal.
iThe life of the individual is in every instance al-
most entirely an outgrowth of the general ten-
dency of his thought. The individual whose mijul
4s chiefly given to the consideration of evil and
fcrinic, which revels in the unsavory details of
f ch scandal and murder report that appears, is
the most fertile ground for the development of
similar crimes.
Beyond question the world would be better
if these things could be kept out of the foreground.
No piece of advice sounder or penetrating more
deeply into the heart of the moral question was
ever given than the admonition of the Great
Apostle to the Gentiles:
"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things
are true, whatsoever things are honest,
whatsoever things are just, whatsoever
things are pure, whatsoever things are love-
ly. whatsoever things are of good report, if
there lie any virtue, and if there be any
praise, think on these things."
The individual who takes this advice liter-
ally and makes it a rule of his daily thinking is
better protected against any possible personal
derelictions than by all the laws and officers in
the world.
Of course a republican candidate for gov-
ernor must attack the democratic administration
ait some point— not necessarily because it is real-
ly open to attack, but because there is no other
\yav to make an apparent reason for the election
of a republican. The difference in the points of
attack chosen by McNeal and Fields, for example,
is characteristic. McNeal is firing heavy volleys
—though badly loaded and misdirected, it must
be confessed—at Governor Haskell and the demo-
cratic record for economy. Fields, however, has
opened up an attack upon the board of agriculture
because it has dismissed two meml>ers of the fac-
ulty at Stillwater. Arc the size of the quarry at-
tacked and the relative importance of the matters
discussed a fair index >>f the relative caliber of
the two candidates? If so, the democrats had as
well prepare to defeat Joe McNeal for governoi.
Boards of agriculture are important factors in a
state, but are entirely subordinate to the higher
f.'tutors in the realms of finance and general ex-
ecUtiv" policy. A man may be very kindly dis-
posed toward farming—and should b and may
much interested in all matters pertaining e
che work and the board having their interests
particularly under care, but if the extent of his
statesmanship is limited by such matters as the
employment or dismissal of a couple of teachers m
the agricultural school, he is a light specimen to
MORE IMPORTANT MATTERS.
POLITICAL conditions throughout the state
are rapidly warming up, and it is a matter
of only a few weeks until we will find ourselves
in the midst of an energetic campaign.
The campaign promises to be in some re-
spects a peculiar one. The present indications
are that the contests between the candidates for
state offices will be in the main overshadowed by
the interest in the several questions now pending
before the people of the state.
The questions on the adoption of the three
amendments to the constitution are probably of
the most overshadowing importance. The pro-
posed amendment to article 9 relative to the con-
solidation of railroads will receive much attention
from the business man and organized labor. The
prohibition question will, of course, arouse a
great deal of interest because practically every-
one has an opinion upon it. The capital removal
amendment will be the center of interest for the
three cities named in tht Ledbetter-Oklahoma
City bill, and is already arousing a great deal of
interest in other sections.
The situation is entirely normal. The ques-
tion as to who shall fill the various offices is tran-
sitory and will come up regularly in the future.
A mistake in any office can be corrected at most
at the end of four years. The constitutional ques-
tions, however, dip far into the future, in their
ultimate effects and deserve the very best consid-
eration that the voters can give them. The entire
business and moral future of the state is involved
to a great extent in the decision to be reached
upon these questions.
It is true that most of these questions will be
settled early in the campaign and probably after
that time political activity will seek its normal
channels. For the immediate present, however,
the tendency will be continually more marked to
overshadow the purely personal contest with the
greater problems of public policy.
The primary campaign is now well developed
in Pottawatomie county, and it is easy to see the
general character of the candidates for which the
democrats will be asked to vote. It is not at all
inappropriate under the circumstances to again
remind the democracy of the county that the cir-
cumstances call for unusual care in the selection
of the ticket. We are in the midst of a transition
period, in which party lines are hard to maintain.
There are hundreds of democrats in Pottawato-
mie county who will vote the ticket if the nomi-
nees are good men, fitted for the office for which
they ask, but who will not be deterred by any fear
of the accusation of irregularity if the candidates
are not right. This year, if never before, the
,-hief consideration in deciding upon the men to
be voted for must be integrity and fitne« for the
office asked for. A few mist its, a few men who
are not known to be absolutely honest, a few
officers asking for re-election upon bad records,
can change a great many voters in Pottawatomie
county. This county is largely democratic, and
has always been considered so safe that a nomina-
tion was thought equivalent to an election. The
majority is here now, and i3 just as soundly demo-
cratic as ever. But the time is past when a man
totally unfit for office can assume tne name of
democrat, and expect the support of the voters of
Pottawatomie county. Our people are becoming
more and more good citizens first, and demo-
crats or republicans afterwards, and party man-
agers and candidates for office will do well to
keep the fact in mind.
A campaign in any matter which is based en-
tirely upon personal interest and prejudice is not
very likely to prove successful, neither is it likely
to result in the public good even if successful.
Questions which are of general public interest are
