Mr. and Mrs. A. A. McGuireand

two weeks visit at the world's fair.
Must have been a heavy rain fall

A certain business man 011 tbe
street does not do very well. No
wonder; he is a great man for hear,

and it was found that during the day,
he hed heard nine stories that were
not true, although they were ala rm-

Mrs. Delia Baldock, nee Delia
Slaughter, swore out a warrant
against her busbaifiT." Baldock
for threatening to kill 1 er last Sun-
day nigbt. The husband was arret-
ed and jailed yesterda; Now Mrs
Baldock feels sorry for ('.us accusing
her husband and is trying to secure
his release. 'It was cvr thus, n
woman scorned and beaten relents
and forgives, ^ut the stern law re-
fuses to give Baldock hi- liberty.
The average American press pays
entirely too much aitent on to the
troubles of Royalty to nsure the
safety of American prin !ples. For
instance every little fence corner
paper in America; the editors of
which are not writers, noticed the
birth of the coming king of the inost
brutal and uncompromising dynasty
of Europe, Russia. The Wave would
rather notice the birth of an Auieri
can child in the most humble family
of America to the length of a column
than even noticc the coming tyrant
of Russia to the extent of two lines
The Enid Backsliders seem to be
able to do up the Oklahoma City
team when have a mind !•, but it is
the same way i n every thing between
Enid aid Oklahoma City. Enid has
ten verging railway lines and Okls-
hooia City only 7. Twenty-eight
passenger trains run in and out of
Enid daily while Oklahoma City only
has 21. Three times as many twins
and four in Enid than, in the bigCa-
nadian windy. Enid beats Oklahoma
City two to one in gcod looking girls
and women. Enid does a larger job-
bing business than Oklahoma City.
However, Cklahuma City be its Enid
in one blessing,—she has [ 8000 ne-
groes and Enid has only about 250.

Grant County News: Why not
elect postmasters?—Guthrie Leader.
Why not, indeed? About the only
reason why we don't is because we
don't. Postmasters have always
been appointed as have thousands of
other government officers. The
people are as yet incapable of gov
ernlng themselves properly. All the
people can be trusted to do is to vote
for a bunch of men who will in turn
meet and vote for some one who, if
elected will on tbe recommendation
of some one el e "ho doesn t know
the first prlnctpn thing about it,
appoint some one will,who in turn, ap-
point another fellow to look tbe field
over for the best party worker, and
when found you have your postmas-
ter. "Why don't we elect postmas-
ters?" Because we don't—know how.
GOOD TIMBER IN SIGHT.
The local democracy of this city
are looking around for good business
like timber for county commissioner
for this district. The WAVE'ssearch
light has been pointing around on this
line and it has found much good tim-
ber to oppose Frank Hodgden who
will probably be the republican can-
didate. Worth Gannon; M. M. Callo-
way, S. W. Johnson; J. D. Corry or
Edwin iFrantz. would give Frank a
race he would always remember
with pain. Any one : of them would
be elected. The ofliceof county com-
missioner i not cn'y an important
one but a vital we. The Board of
county commissioner* ham.les the
peoples tax money. Th^y should not
only be good bualm ss men but of
sterling integrity also.
The Wave hopes the convention
*111 not make any mistakes in se-
lecting the candidates for county

AN EYE SORE.
On the Grand Avenue Iront, of
w hat is known as th<" Champion b.ock
there hangs three joints of stove
pipe secured in a beautiful position
by a slender cord of wire. This pipe
fell from the top of a tlue last winter
and has Seen "eft hanging there
ever since. The beautiful spectacle
of a decayed age presents three colors
galvanized iron, deep red rust and a
dark black hole in the center The
guests of the Grand Avenue hotel are
startled whtn the wind blows the
hanging pipe around making a noise
resembling the breaking up of a coon
cake walk. Every night the Grand
Avenue guests indui^t* in arguments
as to bow soon the old pipe will take
a shot at the pedestrian beneath it.
The Wave beg* leavj to cuggrst
that Sexton secure ti e grade of this
pipe at once and have tbe street
commissioner cut it out.
ception was tendered as of yore. The
excursionists seemed to be chaper-
oned by Sargent Chas. E. Hunter of
the Blackwell, Enid & Southwestern
Hallway Townsite Co. who gave the
excursionists his usual diligent at-
tention.
Tbe long train of cars carrying our
Southern fellow citizens first stopped
at Lamont, south of Blackwell where
they were tendered a lively reception
and the Lamont band accompanied
the party to Enid.
Owing to the small towns not being
able to give such a large delegation
of people, always, welcome to any
part of Oklahoma, they come to Enid
to spend tbe nigbt and were scatter-
ed around as guests of our various
excellent hotels.
It was the intention of the manage-
ment of the excursion to sell numer-
ous lots in Lamont, Hunter, Brecken-
ridge and other "B.'ss Line" to* 11 at |
auction in the Opera House last!

tors congregated, but the sale was
postponed until their return from tie j
southwest this evening.
The excursion train left for the
southwest early this morning to take
in the company townsite towns in
that direction, returning bere this
evening. While it is true that
this is not an Enid excursion
having in view investments in
our city, never the less our people
should meet these people on their re-
turn here, this evening, gh ing them
the Oklahoma grand hand of wel-
come. The Wave wishes our visitors
the greatest success in their Okla-
homa investments and it sincerely
hopes that In time all of them will
become citizens of the territory.

PUSH FOR ENID.
Our people rejoice in being the
commercial metropolis of the terri-
tojy, but to remain such the people
must never let up bnt keep constantly
pushing. Kill off each kickrr as last
as he makes his appearance. The
future is full of hope and every citi-
zen must continue to see this. Stand
oy home Institutions and those ins'i-
tutlons should in turn give support
to home institutions- Ail i.eeJ the
help of all others. Pull together,
push together for a bigger, more
prosperous and more beautiful city.
Our people are loyal and the only
danger is carelessness. There is
danger that they may become indif-
ferent, thinking the future assured.
The time will never come when the
people dare for one moment to sleep
on things already accomplished.
There must be constant forward
movement. Push! push!! push!'.!
