Carrying Out Promises.
In t.ie municipal campaign, the
democrats promised the people
that if given control of affairs in
Tulsa, they would look after the
interests of the city as a whole,
and also protect those engag-
ed in the various lines of busi-
nes. In complying with this last
promise, an ordinance has been
passed prohibiting street fakirs
and licensing peddlers, and it is
made high enough so as to free
the city of their visitations. Street
fakirs and peddlers in various ar-
ticles of merchandise do not build
towns and cities, nor do they in
any way bene lit a community. The
goods they sell you at supposed
cheap prices art' more often the
shoddiest kind, and if of a hitter
variety, you pay all and more than
/the articles are worth.
The home merchants assist the
upbuilding of the town and coun-
try, pay taxes to support public
institutions and contribute to those
engaged in all avocations, conse-
quently they are entitled to your
patronage, not only in preference
to the street vendor, but also give
them the orders for goods you
send to mail order houses. If
the homo merchant does not have
just what you want, he can get, it,
and just as cheap as you can.
Editors Unlucky in Politics.
The Vinita Republican com-
plains that whenever a newspaper
man in the Territory sticks up
his head for political pie he gets it
whacked. Serves him right- Any
newspaper man that wants to get
into politics should quit the news-
paper business The two will no
more work together than water
and oil.—Bartlesville Enterprise-
The prejndice against newspa-
per men holding office is not con-
fined to Indian Territory, but is
extant throughout this country,
as evidenced by the candidacy of
Congressman Ilearst for Presi-
dent Editors who do their duty
as such, have, too many shams t- >
expose and just criticisms to make,
for them to be popular candidates.
The profession of an editor re-
quires too much candor to suit the
role of politician who too often
adapts himself to the surroundings
that temporary success may be
gained.
TULSA’S BUSINESS DIRECTORY.
The corporations nnd companies
that have oil and gas leases, as
well us those that are trying to get
in this section, refuse to give any
information for publication.
There are fine oil producing wells
in Tulsa district, we believe, that
no one except the owners, and
employes know anything about,
so these advantages to the up-
building of diis place and sur-
rounding country are of no benefit.
Of course such a policy of secre-
tiveness is a good thing for those
who have possession, but the in-
terests of the whole people, city
and country are more of concern
than the selfish interests of the

Monday and continue in session
threo days. This gathering will
be composed of representative and
intelligent citizens of the two ter-
ritories, and it is to the advantage
of our city that they be given a
cordial and hearty welcome and
their stay with us made as pleas-
ant as it is possible to make it.
Tulsa people are noted for gen-
erosity and hospitality, and in the
entertainment of the Pharmaeeu
tical Association, we are sure that
they will miintain their well earn-
ed reputation and give our visitors
a reception and entertainment that
they will fondly cherish in mem-
ory.
even if it be interfering with some
of the “private, affairs” of people.
There is enough difference be-
tween democratic principles and
practices, compared with those of
the republican party in this coun-
try, to furnish ample campaign
material and also to justify a
change in the administration of
the affairs of the government,
without taking up the fight of
either Cleveland or Bryanism.
The former did more than anyone
else to wreck the democratic par
ty, after its national victory, and
the latter seems determined to
join hands with him to keep the

and the chances are especially

of the essential things to do, is
the setting aside some of the lead-
ers that democracy has been de-
pending on for success, and the
first to he given a back seat
is one J. R, Jacobs the na-
tional committeeman. He may
be a success as a poker player,
which some people of Wagoner
might attest, but as a political
leader he is not creditable nor suc-
cessful We also see that Jacobs

An article elsewhere gives a
brief account of the properties in
cotton stalks, and states that a
plant is to be put in Texas for the
j conversion of this heretofore use-
less and inconvenient part of the
cotton crop into profitable articles.
What is it that the lint, the seeds
and stalk cannot supply? The
I progress made in bringing out
I these properties of the South’s
• chief product, is truly wonderful.
Tulsa lias received considerable
free advertising in Territory and
metropolitan papers over its raise
of the $15,000 bonus to the Mid-
land Valley railroad, and tbe nat-
ural gas the city is soon to be sup-
plied with, ns well as the removal
of restrictions of freedmen lands.
To an outsider, all these things
combine to make this a most ex-
cellent place to locate and invest,

of Tulsa than any other agency.
It is to be trusted that the Mid-

depot that it will cause the Frisco

structures.
