The issue of yesterday gave a dis-
criptlon of the Frantz Inaugural
^ train as it left Enid in two sectUns
with its load if 150o jolly Enid people
going to witness the inauguration of
one of their fellow citizens, Governor
Frank Frantz.
; The people on the first section
formed in line on the principal street
of Guthrie, headed by the Waukita
and Jefferson bands and the two
companies of Oklahoma National
Guards, and i waited the arrival of
the people of the seco:id section who
formed in line, making a procession
about three blocks long; the Enid
band being at the head of the second
, section, followed by Mayor Bowers
and the members of the city council.
However, many did not form in the
line being accompanied by ladles who
did not desire to march. The proces-
sion kept in line until the new home
of Governor Frantz was reached
when the new governor was loudly
and longiy cheered. Gov. Frantz
appeared ;.nd in a neat speacb
thanked his Enid neighbors and
friends for their presence and in ter-
est in his inauguration. The pro-
R cession broke ranks and came down
town at will. Ex-Mayor Faubion
}he Enid Mirshal of the day took
much interest in fixing the parade
and it was a great success.
* There was a great rush for lunch-
eon and it taxed the Guthrie restau-
rants and hotels to feed the crowd,
many having to wait an hour to pro-
cure something to eat.
Next came the inaugural parade
commencing at 1:30 p. m. It was
headed by the cavalry band followed
by the retiring and inceming
governors and their staff officers
in carriages. Governor Frantz wore
a shining new beaver high hat and
, be was cheered to the echo by the
vast multitudes along the line of
march. Ihe old boys of the civil war
were in line in large numbers, "the
Enid G. A. R. Post furnishing the
greatest number, the Rough Riders
and other Spanish war soldiers were
in line as well as the entire 1st
Regiment O. N. G. Oklahoma City
appeartd with several hundreds real
estate agents and politicians in line.
Ten bands were interspersed along
the procession. In fact the inaugu-
ral parade in honor of governor
frantz was as lar^e and long as the
inaugural parades of the early day
presidents at Washington.
The south steps of the Carnegie
• library had been selected as the most
fitting place for the public
administering of the oath of office
and the steps and front of the
building were beautifully decorated
with the national colors, fligs and
flowers. The parade ended here and
the two I'overnors retired within the
building. An immense crowd was
soon assembled, probably 10,000
' people, to witness the ceremony and
hear tbeinew governor's Inaugural
address. All e\es jwere turned
toward the point the governor was
to appear and when he stepped out a
long prolonged cheer rent the air.
On the platform was the governor's
five brothers and two sisters;
standing just to his left was his
■ "mother and wife and the governor
oolt great pride in introducing his
mother to Governor Ferguson, Judge
Gillett and other dignitaries on the
stand. Mrs. Gov. Frantz held a
beautiful wreath of flowers in her
hand and seemed quite proud of the
great honors being conferred upon
her distinguished soldier husband.
The oath of office was admlnlated by
Jud *e Giilett, in the absence of Chief
JusticeBurford who wis in Washing
ton Every word of the oath of office
coui4 be keard distinctly as the
Judge spoke loudly.
Governor Verruaon next Introduced
Governor Frantz who procfeded to
deliver his Inaugural adircn is fil-
lows:
Mr. Chairman, Governor Fftguson
and Fellow Citizens:
Today Oklahoma inaugurates her
seventh governor. Beginning with
Steele and continuing under Seay,
Renfrow, Birnes, Jenkins and. Fergu-
son, this vast new territory has grown,
with leaps aud bounds, tostand among
the first commonwealths of the na-
tion. Her goveraors and her great
people together, under a kindly sky,
have made for her a progress unpar-
alleled In the annals of any community
since the world began.
Today Oklahoma holds first place in
the councils of the greatest legisla-
tive body known, and throughout our
country all people acknowledge tbe
justice of ourdemand^ for statehood,
app'audHg tbe gallant light now uel.g
m->do hy our delegate in congress.
Liitue call Is there at this time for
prolongrd speech. In this happy day
of peace, prosperity, and progress,
all with honor, I would fain be excused
from the usual formality of extended
address. Yet It is but fitting that we
pause for the moment in review of
the achievements of sixteen years,
take latitude and longitude of our
course, with inventory of our re-
sources, and cast our eyes toward the
all but cloudless morning of our fu-
ture, that by this pause, this review,
this compass, and these resources we
may fit ourselves well by the lessons
of those sixteen years the better to
meet our growing responsibilities,
knowing that in prosperity we must
prepare for a less prosperous time
which may come.
OKLAHOMA ASKS HER DOWER.
Oklahoma, burn sixteen years ago
in homeless hardship, cradled in swad-
dling cloih -s of poverty, educated by
experience of much adversity, and
deve oped through a' undant promise,
stands today full grown and asking
for her dower.
The history of Oklahoma records
the experiences of a people worthy
of chronicle. Communities and com-
monwealths there be where the public
servant and every leader may adjure
tbe private citizen to faith and re-
pentance, reformation and decency,
patriotism and duty. Not so the ne-
cessity in Oklahoma. Here is found
a composite citizenship made of the
best from all the states. Here mingle
together the Virginia Cavalier, the
Puritan Of New England, the planter
of the south, the plainsman and
mountaineer of the west, the veteran
soldier of the Civi. 77ar, both Union
and Confederate, and his young com-
rade, each holding within himselfthe
rugged, sterling qualities which maka
the best citizen. And still there is
another, the original pioneer,—the
American Indian,—upon whose hearth
stone we are building a great com-
monwealth today! Soon to enjoy full
rights of citizenship, his marvelous
advancement commands the admira-
tion of the civilized earth Here the
family and home life, which is the
chief bulwark of every enauring na-
tion. is above reproach. You who
come here came to establish homes.
States there are where bosses are in
control, who require application of
the lashing tongue, consta it scourg-
ing by tbe jealous hand of patriotism.
Not so with Oklahoma, Is there to-
day one among you In this entire ter-
ritory who can say he knows even the
shadow of such a condition? Protec-
tion of the law you have and shall, I
promise, continue to have. The
measure of success, therefore, in tbe
government of such a state as ours,
lies in the expedition of the people's
daily business.
STATE'S MISSION AS UMPIRE.
The chief function and filial justifl.
cation for all government Is to render
tbe conflicts of free individuals
exerc'sing tbelr personal rights, as
gentle and as fair in their adjustments
as is possible to humans; to make
competition and the consequent
character of the race as courteous and
as just as humans may aspire to;to see
to it that every citizen play the game
of life squarely and according to the
rules of the game; to fetter an'i elim-
inate the perverse, the dlshones', the
corrupt; to encourage and applaud
the brave, the upright, the unselfish;
In short, to nmooth tbe highway o*
the nation's prof res* and remove the
atonet aa4 b iers from the rough ways
of men, that the l"omf of our people
may be t-.appy, the families of tbe
nation secure, and the nation iteelf
enduring.
The public official and every leader
certainly tne governor, has for his
first and chief duty to facilitate the
dispatch of public business; to make
bis'olfice, in efTect, a clearing house
for that business.
My administration, I may say, in so
far as in me lies, shall be to make it
so.
The lesson of the present day is
progress with honor. The spirit in
the very air is for fair play. The
chief executive of our nation has
done much to make it so. In govern-
ment, in education, in religion, in
business, in sport, the rules of th
game, so to speak, so often within
the generation now closing violated
with impunity, have at last required
a reckoning. At;d the effect is start-
ling,—salutary, fins, splendid. What
shall come forth finally from the ac-
tive day of calling to account cannot
at this moment well nor accurately
be predicted. But we do know and
can assure ourselves that this awak-
ening presages good for the sons of
men throughout the nation,—for the
laborer, the farmer, the^ merchant,
the manufacturer, the capitalist, for
all citizens, the consideration which
is due them. To the broad spirit of
education running through the land,
Illumine i by newspaper and magazine
iB due this awakening.
I recognize in tbe teachers of Ok-
lahoma a great state building force
and in the colleges and schools the
teacher's opportunity to nurture and
direct a high standard of civic vir-
tue. And I expsct by a consistent
executive administration to co-oper-
ate to the fullest extent with this
great department.
Literally, there is no such Ameri-
can community as answers to the
name of Oklahoma. Eight hundred
thousand inhabitants all of whom are
native Americans save fifteen ithou-
sand or t wo per cent of the popula-
ting Ju"t so with Indian Territory,
for which the figures are almost iden-
tical. The new state to be comprises
a million and a half of people almost
all native American. Here are fewer
illiterates than in any other state in
the Union. Our excellent public school
system, ourgrowing state university,
our state normal schools, our various
colleges and academies scattered
throughout the two territories attest
the promise of our future. Rich in
resources educational, agricultural,
mineral, industrial, recreative, rich-
er still in the character of her people
history holds no parellel to Oklaho-
ma.
Oklahoma expects and demands,
always of her chief executive, Integ-
rity, efficiency, and quality of seivice
to the people I shall try to be tbe
governor of all the people of the ter-
ritory, and shall expect the co-opera-
t.on of all tbe people. I shall do
everything In my power to promote
education ihroughou: the territory.
I shall extend to every citizen tbe
protection of the law.
In short I shall hope to so administer
the affairs of tbi- office as to merit
the commendation of all goo I citizens.
After the address came the inside
reception tendered to the people by
both the retiring and incoming gov.
ernors and secretaries of state.
Each one grasping tbe hands of the
officers were presented with a
souvenir, con-isting of a representa-
tion of a beautiful Autumn leaf upon
which was printed In golden letters
Inauguration of Governor Frantz
January 15 1906." Each person was
introduced by name and, of course it
took several hours to bring the
reception to a close.
This ended the ceremonies proper,
except the grand inaugural ball in
the City Hall in the evening and sev-
eral Lodge banquets.
The liist section of the Enid train
left Guthrie at 5:30 p. m and the
second at 1:30 a. id. today, arriving

Sorrow of Thousands.
Sad Fiincral ol Thon;a; A. Radford
ErUeeces fteptk if Mtinlnf Felt
By City.
The funeral services over the re-
mains of Thomas A. Radford, city
tnarsBal, were held from the Chris-
tian church yesterday afternoon at 2
p. m. It was the largest attended
funerel ever held in this Ipart of, if
not in all of Oklahoma The church
which seats about 1000 was packed in
every aisle and corridor and hun-
dreds stood out side unable to gain
admission. Many more came to
share in the expression of sorrow but
returned ts their homes because of
the inability to get within hearing
distance of the services.
Mrs. Scott Anderson sang: "One
Sweetly Solemn Thought." A male
quartette composed of Messrs. Mc-
Clme, Pieratt, Richardson and Gates
san; "Jesus, Savior Pilot Me." The
sermon was delivered by Rev. Ander-
son of the Christian church, and lis-
tened to most attentively through
out by the vast audience.
It was a masterly effort
most Uttinj ti the occasion.
Following the sermon the quartette
sang a vocal arrangement of tbe
"Last Hope."
This was followed by tbe opening of
the bier, and viewing of the remains
by the multitude. For almost one
hour the citizens and friends walked
in solemn procession by the bier and
gazed with grief upon the cold form
of the well beloved public officer.
Many aud many a tear was dropped
beside that coffin. Mr*. Radfo d,
wife of the deceased, bore up heroic
ally under the trying ordeal.
Outside tbe vast crowd waited until
the last look had been taken and the
bier was carried out of the church,
Great wreaths of pure white roses
were heaped high on the casket.
Friends, the city, the citizens and the
relatives all added their tributes of
flowers until the s.jmbre couch of the
dead was hid beneath the wealth of
roses.
Mayor Bowers, all tbe city officers
and councilmen attended in a body.
The city police force rode mounted
in the procession. The Yeoman and
Carpenters Union also attended In
large numbers. One hundred and
fifteen carriages followed the hearse
to the Enid cemetery, and this pro-
cession reached all the way from
Monroe to Chestnut streets, about a
mile. By the time the last carriages
had reached the cemetery the simple
burial services were over.
The services at the grave was most
simple and impressh e. It was par-
ticipated in by the orders to which
the deceased belonged. A sadder
funeral or a greater expression of
public sympathy and grief was never
known in Enid.
