Dr. B. A. Feild For Councilman.
Dr. It. A. Field, candidate for
councilman in the Ofth ward is one
of the best and safest pieces of coun
cilman timber there la in the Held,
ffhe doctor is not a young and giddy
speculator in alleys; he Is of mature
age and a man of cool and calm judge-
ment. He owns considerable of
rtnld's most valuable realty, hence,
when he votes on the use of the peo-
ples tax money he votes 011 the Jus e
of considerable of hsown, hence is a
safe man. Doctor Fields Is Ja thor
ough loyal Knld man and he advo-
cates legitimate progressive enter-
prise. He Is well to do In th world
enjoying a good yearly Income from
tne practice of his profession and
rentals. Therefore he would uot at-
tempt to make a part of his living
out of the office of councilman. It Is
hard to secure the consent of such
men as Dr. H. A. Feild to accept
such a responsible public-trust with
out remuneration. It Is quite evident
that the tote, of the flftb ward will
live Dr. Feild a handeouie majority
To the Voters of Enid.
It seems to be the style to let the
public know what the candidate for
Mayor has done for Enid, in the way
of donating money to dillerent pub-
lic enterprises.
In fairness to Mr. C. S. McClellan,
Democratic candidate for Mayor, we
desire to make the following state-
ment; oil examination we ilnd the
following ta be his record regarding
donations. Marshall <S: McClellan are
equal parters in the Enid Lumber Co.
of which Mr. C. S. McClellan is Sec-
retary.
Donations:—Enid Bridge I'lant,
•60; Frisco K.IR. *100; 1). E. Ik G. R.
R $250: A. V. & W. K. R. #250; Shoe
Factory #100; 2 carnival celebration
#75; and besides this, a donation to
almost every church organization In
the city, ranging from #5 to #250
each. The latter amount was McClel-
1 in's personal donation to the Chris
ti a ii church; more ibjr all tills, C. S,
McOle.lan vai nev r known to turn
down a > ail for aid in any good
taune; and, not ou■ y that, but he has
spent as much of his time personally
for the good of the city as any man
in Enid.
it seems to us that his persistant
efforts in securing the Frisco Divis-
ions through the sale of lots, the shoe
Factory, the two big carnival cele
brations, as well as different bonuses
should not be forgotten. On the
contrary let us pi ice him In a posi-
tion to do even more for Enid. To
each one of these enterprises he gjve
up weeks of his valuable time and
and never leceiveq a cent for nis
work; moreover, he did not expect it.
It was the generous gift of a whole-
souled man beuton making Enid the
best town In O. T.
He has also been a member of the
Board of EdScation for four years.
Upon inquiry we find he was consid-
ered a most valuable member. He
was always ready to give up his time
to attend the meetings, and always
ready to do woi k assigned him. He
has seldom been absent even from an
adjourned meeting.
No man has worked harder or more
conscientiously to solve our difficult
school problems, how to secure better
school facilities for every child in
Enid, be he poor or rich, has been his
constant effort.
Now an answer to the question of
his being able to look after city at
lairs, from the fact he is on the road
some little. In answer to this Mc
Ciella.ii said: "1 am on the road a
little sometimes, and out of town at
the most about two or three nights
tp a month." I will be In Enid
enough to attend to the duties of
Mayer. If I could not do this I would
never have accepted ihe nomina-
tion, and should I be elected,
I wi.l serve the city to the best of
my ability, having in yiew not merely
the sustaining f the proud position
that Enid now holds among cities of
ttie first rank in Oklahoma, but the
advancing of her rank to that of the
best. The best is poor enough for
Enid.
One other statement l desire to
make to you, I believe all parts of
the city should be treated with equal
fairness and thus receive equal bene-
Uts "
1 am not trylug to be elected on
promises or whatl have done. 1 make
the statements that 1 do to place my
self in tho right iipht before the new-
comers in the city, as well as before
the older residents.
1 am lor Enid, lirst, last ^nd all tbe ]
time, and 1 am willlag to give as much j
of my time "and money as the duties
of the oflice require.
We as a committee feel that this
election In not for the purpose of de-
termining whether this city is Demo
cratic or Republican, but that it is to
select the proper man to handle tbe
government and funds of thecityof
Enid. The business of this city for
the next fewjyears is of vital concern
to every man in the city.
Is It not our duty t select honest
men, men with ability and, last but
not least, men who are willing to give
up their time for this work? A man's
honesty and ability may not be ques-
tioned, yet If he stays in his place of
business refusing to give his valuable
time fur t:ie public enterprises of the
city, he certainly can't claim ary
credit as a town builder, and deserves
uospecial recognatlon by tne public.

STANDARD OIL CO.
VS. KANSAS.
The Standard Oil director is quot
ed as saying that Kansas will have
to expend 20 million dollars in orde
to net into the oil business. Well,
what of it'J Does the Rockefeller
ovvil think that Kansas hasn't the
20 million dollars to spend? And what
was 20,000 dollars to the co=,t freely
paid by Kansas to keep its map clear
of the dark blot of'human slavery?
The Rockfellers are so besotted bv
their lust for gain that they imagine
everybody else is infected with their
servile idolatry for money. They
weigh and measare everyt bing in
this world by the dollar, and even
fling their nasty illicit riches at tern
pies dedicated to spiritual uses.
It is not to be supposed that the
Rockefellers can grasp or understand
the sentitne.it which places freedom
farabave all the money in the world
and which make- it worth the loffer-
ingof blood if necessary but Kan
sas has it.^-Exchange.

The Children
Great is Lawson.
Thomas W. Lawson is one man
who, perhaps more than vany other,
is entitled to credit for having arous-
ed the conscience of the American
public in matters relating to the
ethics of business life, and thus to
have started a movement whlcn is
gaining grouud every day for de-
throning tbe system of mulcting the
public out of millions >f duilars by
manipulation 0! stocks and jugglery
of bank and trust funds. The move-
ment is closely allied with tbe anti-
trust demand. It strikes at all the
meanness and dishonesty of high fi-
nance. It would lead the people to
exccrate rather than to idolize those
so-called "captains uf industry" who
have amassed fortunes by preying
upon others. All honor to Mr. Law-
son. ______

There were more people in jail to-
day than usual. Tne strangest thing
about it was that the prisoners all de-

the jail. Pat sa.d be had no use for
