EL RENO DEMOCRAT
T F HENSLEY, ED TOR.
There is a love that begins at the
head and goes down to the heart,
and grows slowly ; hut it lasts till
death, and asks less than it gives.—
Olive Sehreiuer.
Bill Cross has secured the services
of Col. Bob Forrest in setting his
congressional words to music. \\ hile
Col. Hoffman is getting ready to do
the horizontal bar especially for the
en route democratic stock company.
—Guthrie Capital.
Alf Wooster, publisher of a
democratic paper atOskaloosa Iowa,
drew a claim in Hitchcock s loiters
ami is here to file on it. The repub-
lican colonization scheme jumped a
cog in this instance aud lit on a
democrat instead of a republican.
It is given out that the allotment
rolls arc not in the El Reno land
office. It would be interesting to
know how many Kickapoos have al-
lotments of HiO acres each in the
Caddo, Kiowa and Comanche coun-
ties and what is to become of their
80 acre allotments in the Kickapoo
country.—Oklahoma.
The El Rono American calls all its
contemporaries who have not given
it the usual hypocritical send-off for
a return notice, "green-eyed." The
Wave is not green eyed in these
premises; it simply published its edi-
tors convictions as to the success of
the big daily; it simply said that a
paper of metropolitan pretention
could not be made to pay in a coun-
try newspaper district. Suppose the
Wave had said that the battleship
Oregon could not be floated success-
fully in the Canadian River at El
Reno, would any sane person call it
green-eyed ? W by, of course not;
because it would have been correct.
The American is in the same fix at
El Reno as the Oregon would be in
the Canadian river. It cannot tloat
successfully.—Enid Wave.
Last week the Woodward Dispatch
contained an article in reply to arti-
cles that have appeared in Bill Bol-
ton's News, calling the editor of the
Dispatch a cur, telling him to do his
best, and also dragging the name of
the wife of the Dispatch editor into
the matter, by comparing her to a
lady friend of the News editor whom
he admits attended him on junket-
ing tours and public geatherings un-
er the appellation of sister, when in
fact there is no more consanguinity
between them than there is between
the Empress Dowager of China and
the writer. Of course the Dispatch
article is not a bouquet of compli-
ments, and is not sugar-coated with
houey suckles, and to tell the plain
truth, it was more forcible than
polite, and our postmaster held back
the issue of that paper until he could
communicate with authorities at the
National Capital. As the matter has
been referred to the head of the Post-
office department that functionary
will get a chance to learn something
about who our "upperten" people
are, aud what their opinions of each
other are, as to the editorial fratern-
ity uf this place, at least.—Wood-
ward Republican.
being caught in shady places, or for
being a little too demonstrative at
times. This class of offenders re-
gret and their friends regret to see
their names emblazoned in bold type
under the head of "Police Court Do-
ings." Such stuff is not news to any
man or woman who wears their heart
in the right place. It neither does
the offenders or the community any
good to publish it.
If it had a tendency to reform this
class of occasional offenders against
the majesty of some ordinance, that
the world would lie just as well off if
it had never been passed: or if it
made the town and its people any
more respected abroad,or their prop-
erty any more valuable at home,then
we might in the interest of the pub-
lic good, publish everything that
comes within the range of our re-
portorial vision.
SPATZ
The lirst business to come up was
the divorce case of Mrs. Spat/.. After
hearing the evidence of Airs. Spatz
and Mr. Fred Myers,who by the way
is well known among the barbers of
Guthrie. The judge arrived at the
conclusion that Mrs. Spatz was not
the proper person for Mr. Spatz to
live with.—State Capital.
if this conclusion is true, outside
of the evidence in the case, may God
have mercy on Mrs. Spatz.
THAT SCH OL LA%D DEAL.
It has often been charged that the
republican party has always been
the rich man's friend and the poor
man's enemy, and locally speaking
the party in this territory is more
than demonstrating the truth of this
charge in its method of disposing of
the school lands iu the new country.
There are thousands of poor men in
Oklahoma who were beat out of a
homestead in the new country by the
rich through the assistance of the
republican party aud its new-fangled
lottery scheme, who still had hope
that they would be permitted to set-
tle upon and build a home on some
portion of the lands reserved for
schools and other purposes. But
not so. A republican governor and
a republican school land commission
have devised a plan whereby the
poor man's last hope is destroyed
and the home which he expected to
build is to be turned over to some
cattle baron, or wealthy speculator.
Instead of following out the plan of
appraising these lands and tixiug
their rental value and then leasing
them to the home-builders of the
country who failed to get a home by
the lottrey plan, at this appraised
value, a republican governor and a
republican school land commission
have decided to put these lands up
like the town lots, to the highestbid-
der. thus practically robbing the poor
people of the territory of their last
chance to get a home in Oklahoma.
This plan places the school lands of
the territory, like the town lots in
the government tosyusites, iu the
hands of the rich who do not need
them, or into the hands of the specu-
lator who will bill them off over the
heads of the poor man leaving them
penniless and homeless.
This scheme of disposing of the
school lands, like the lottery scheme
was devised by the republican party
to make and keep this territory re-
publican. But the plan has miscar-
ried iu its conception and the peo-
ple who vote at the next election will
rebuke the party in power for its in-
famy. This paper believes with the
democratic party, that the public
domain should be kept for homes,
for the actual home builders, and uot
for railroad corporations, speculators
and town builders. It should have
been given to the needy and not to
the atllueut. It should have been giv-
en to the pioneer who has helped to
reclaim the west aud make it a desir-
able place for the homeless, instead
of to the eastern money shark who
has no interest or sympathy in com-
mon with the people of the west
Hitchcock's plan of disposing of
the public lands by lottery in the
Kiowa aud Comanche country, and
Jcukin's plan of disposiug of the
school lands to the highest bidder, is
a crime against every poor man in
Oklahoma and the west. It is a crime
committed by the republican party
in its attempt to colonize the new
country with republican voters. It is
a crime that they will answer for at
the first electiou. "The
time will bring its own revenges

The Democrat has never fallen in-
to the habit of publishing all of the
