The Enid Wave says:
"Tht democratic banquet and lov
feast last night was a great success
In tome directions in others it was
a failure. The committee either over-
sized the crowd or the eaters did.
There was one table in the uncom-
fortable, cold dirty room that did not
contain a table cloth, plates or knives
ami forks. The guests were compell-
ed to eat pigs feet and other cheap
stuff with their fingers and wipe with
their hankerchiefs. The dirty old
store room where the banquet was
held in could not have been more
uninviting, there was no warmth,
there was no flowers, no hunting,
there was nothing but beer, ham, pigs
feet and speech making. The room
n which the banquet was held had
beo'i a commission house which had
not been cleaned out since it was
Viilt. Kven four strings reached
from the ceiling to hang bananas on
hail not been removed. We do not
know who is to blame for this unin
viting condition, the committee or the
caterers, but we do know that th<
banquet was not worth over twenty
five cents a plate, more especially to
thoao who did not enjoy the luxury
of a plato, knife, fork, spoon, or nap
kin.
In this day and age it is reliable to
charge all you can and do just ser
vice enough to command pay whether
the service is satisfactory or not.
The Wave opposes the giving of any
more banquets under the name of the
democratic party unless it is assured
of a good management."

The polltilcal muddle at Oklahoma
City as relates to the city government,
| ;hicke:is rather than clears up. One
of year ago the city elected a democra-
tic mayor and council. Things went
>n smoothly until the tnavor under-
took to make more democratic medi-
cine. by mixing more politics in every
official act. Presently the council
divided and rebelled against the high
handed political methods of the may-
or. They insisted, as the people of
El Reno now insist, that too much
politics in the council chamber is
detrimental to the business interests
of a city and refused to Indorse his
action, or his appointments or sanc-
tion his removals to make room for
his political pets. War followed, red

Washington. D. C., March 18 —
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Brifow in testifying before the house*
special committee on the postomce
report yesterday, claimed for himself
responsibility of only the first seven
pages of the report which was sent
to the post office committee and said
the other portions of the document
were the work of other officials of
the department.
The clerk hire, section he said, was
prepared in the office of the first as-
sistant postmaster general and that
part relating to leases by inspectors
and others in his own department.
Mr. Bristow's testimony threw much
light on all phases of the inquiry. He
practically cleared members of con-
gress from wrong doing touching the
clerk hire section of the report by
stating that it was the duty of the
first assistant's office to ascertain the
condition of the work in an office
where an increase had been recom-
mended.

Statistics of population seem to
show that after long and severe wars
in which many men are killed and the
male part of a country's poulation is
greatly decreased, there is for several
years a preponderating birth of male
children until the normal proportion
between the sexes is restored.
This seems to have been noted after
the Thirty Years' war in Germany,
after the Napoleonic war in France,
and even in more recent times after
the siege of Paris.
