A LITTLE LIVE HISTORY.
Dan Peery, member of the lower House of the pres-
ent legislature la reported In an Interview to be of the
opinion that Guthrie ought to lose the capital of the
state for Its former sins, and that as member of the
first legislature that .fixed the temporary location, the
citizens of Guthrie attempted to assassinate him upon
a memorable occasion.
This shows how long a man will hold a thoroughly
vital opinion to himself though to others thoroughly dis-
sipated and since turned by the mellow light of time
Into one of the humors of "early hlBtory." The sup-
posed abstraction of the capital bill and the chase of
Representative Perry and Senator Nesbit by
"some" citizens of Guthrie, under the curiosity of
■which one had It on his person, proved at the time to
be a comedy of errors, and so ended. No one in all
that crowd knew why they ran. Two men ran out of
the legislative body because they were afraid. And
the citizens attracted by their running, ran after them
because they were running. When the two men ran
out to the school section out of town and looking back
Baw the citizens standing o*i a hill In the town -vondfcr-
ing what they were running for, and unwilling to get
further out of breath until they were sure what It was
all about, the two men came back and faced the crowd,
and walked through the crowd—and everybody laugh-
ed.
That ended the Incident as far as anybody In Guth-
rie has ever thought of it since; and Representative
Peery has had no better friends since anywhere than
In Guthrie. -
Representative Terry's mention of Guthrie's sins,
however, does bring to mind that Oklahoma City per-
verted party and public principles In the fight of that
first legislature to take the temporary capital away
* from Guthrie, and Is doing the same now, In its per-
manent location. Both houses of the first legislature
were elected republican by one majority. Both
were turned over to the demopop, or popodem or-
ganization In exchange for the promise of temporary
capital. C. G. Jones turned over the House by making
a populist, the famous "Artie" Daniels speaker and
himself speaker pro tem, and J. U, nicknamed at that
time "Cockeye" Brown, turned over the senate
to Geo. Gardenhine, & popotist. This heean
a war that lasted one hundred an.) twenty davs
on the capital fight and made it necessary for the
demo-popu-repub organization to pass the necessary
statutory provisions by cutting out With the scissors
pages from the statutes of Arkansas and Nebraska,
no more fit for Oklahoma than the code of Hell is fit
for Heaven.
For Representative Peery. however, time does play
a sweet revenge. He represented Oklahoma City in
the lower house of that first legislature and fought for
Its Interests and now when the crucial moment under
statehoc.l has come, he Is again a member of the
same body, though from another district, and is again
fighting for Oklahoma -Cltv, right or wrong. Time,
however, no matter how historically co-cllmc.terlc,
should have had a tendency to humanize and esuage
his spirit and woo him from his. seemingly, predestined
revenge upon Guthrie. Twenty-one years Is a long
time in a man's life, If not In the history of a state.

It Is said fiat the "little things in life marr or

of unbanplnesi people borrow who allow the Inconse-
quential differences between their and their neighbors
condition to count seriously In the estimation of so-
cial importance.
Here is lltt'e s'xteen-year-old Katie Manz, of Mas-
Billon. Ohio, who poisoned her older sister because she
wore better clothes. The alienists say Katie was
clothes-crazy, and the very cause of her crime now
saves her from the electric chair. How many girls —
how many women are clothes-crazy now-days. How
many persons estimate the value of themselves and
others upon the difference of clothes, or the number
of rooms of their dwelling house, or the number of
seres of their farms, or the thousands or millions of
dollars they are worth.

pension koi! mekko slaves
The State Register several years ago expressed an
onlnion that a pension for the necrrn ex-slaves was
nnt only a deserving reward for the few lingering old
fellows to attone for their former limitations, but a
!ustl<e that even the Southern democratic members of
Congress would support as a tribute or the'r falt'-ful
protection of their master's families wh'lp the'- iv —>
in the front fighting for their further enslavement. It
is a bill that Congressman McGuIre could hnve In-
troduced with propriety and done himself some credit
and the colored race much good. Now It seems that
the democratic congress Is about to oo that for the neero
that pronerly belongs to the republicans. The Ard-
more Ardmorlte has the following plea for the old ex-
slaves now tottering off the stage of life:
"These people were reared away rrom the school,
away from social Intercourse with the Intelligent, born
without the privilege of accumulating and owning
property, but being owned themselves as chattels.
With one stroke of the pen of the Immortal Lincoln
fiev were given citizenship. American citizenship suc-
ceeded the chains of chattel slavery. They had rights
thrust upon them which they knew not how to use.
Half shouting, half doubting, they groped out Into the
world to earn their living among those who had been
taught to believe they were creatod for the purpose of
slavery. \Y Ithout homes, without property, without
any training whatever except to work under the di-
rection of the negro overseer, it might we 1 be Imagin-
ed how they succeeded. ,
True, there were fortunes placed at the command
of the southern negro to educate him by generous peo-
ple from the north, but this educational fund was of
no value to the old slave darkey, who had passed the
years when he could take the opportunity to learn.
He had his th'ldren and his wife, the o!d black mamy
who had worked her way Into the affections of the
people of the south by her devotion to duty—these he
had to care fo.- and the educational advantages never
reached him. While they have elevated his race, still
the old slave darkey remains the peculiar class in the
south.
Today the old slave darkey is feeble, the old mamy
Is crippled with rheumatism, and the men move slowly
about, as If true to their superstition, they are await-
ing the visit of the angel whom they believe will call
to take their spirits to heaven."
It would be a gracious thing to help these old peo-
ple, who were chattels once, out of life with the charity
of a better humanity than that which ushered them in.
They were Indeed a kindly and patient people in their
services to their masters, which sentiment has paid
nmple tribute to but actual service little. The money
they would receive as pension would not amount to
much, would not be paid long, and would return im-
mediately to the channels from which it came.

It is now posible to travel across the United States
In a little over four days. It is possible to converse
across the United States In a time almost too short to
estimate. Chicago and New Orleans, even San Fran-
cisco and New York, are In many ways much nearer
together now than BoBton and New York were when
this government took Its form. The nation being mad
such a unit by the course of history, it Is a ridiculous
impossibility to try to prevent the government of this
unit from having the powers which It needs. Cit es
and towns ought to have much more power than they
have at present. States, which are entirely artififlcinl
units, ought to have certain powers, but they ou?ht
fnot to have any powers which Interfere with the wel-
fare of the whole people.
business and politics.
Ever since it printed that letter of Attorney Gen-
eral West against governor Haskell, the Oklahoman has
felt called upon to substantiate its claim by other au-
thority that a newspaper Is first a business proposition
for its owner. Its latest ouotation Is from the GaVden
City, Kansas. Herald, declaring its refusal to servve
factional republicanism was no test of Its party prin-
ciples. > iih
There Is ifo doubt but that newspapers frequently
mistake personal party fortunes for party principles.
It Is also true that politicians upon loyalty to lndlvldu-
It is also true tArit politicians insist upon loyalty to indi-
v'dimls at the expense of princtnles of the party or the
peop'e. And If. is when sacrifice of principles bene-
ficial to t'le people Is asked for by party managers .that
a newsnaoer has a right to disregard the Individuals.
The trouble with Oklahoma politics—with any poli-
tics—is that the politicians are only working for office
for themselves, and expect the newspapers to sacri-
fice their convictions for them. If politics is "busi-
ness" for the politician, newspaper publishing is busi-
ness for the owner. And the line of cleavaee Is how
much of the public good either shall sacrifice for
personal good. So when a politician demands that the
newspaper sacrifice the public for him it should not
do it.

the people at the polls, and the big
mapority that the voters recently gave
against the Bryan general election
bill, on November 8, shows that an
honest law can be initiated and adopt-
ed. The Bryan bill was the child of
a democratic legislature. In addition
to the many evils, contained in the
election law now on the statute books,
It also provided for registration in
country precincts and gave to the
demorcatic election inspector in each
precinct power to disfranchise every
man, white, red or black, whom he

a follow ing was secured by Mrs. Eddy in her own life.
Is due to the more than ordinary virtue of Christian
Scleic° and the seemlns huneer for some nearer an I
more recent form of spiritual manifestation than some
old creeds furnish. The long life of Mrs. Eddy has un-
doubtedly drawn much of the power of mysticism
about >er. But the qualities upon which Christian Science
Is are present evervwhere in the duality of
power of guardianship over tliem on
that date. The constitution of the
i'Uni;ed States authorized congress
to regulate commercial dealings with
Indian tribes, and tile courts have
held that the Indian people, prior to
toe grant of citizenship, were domes-
tic, dependent "allies in a state of
pupilage, owing al egiance to the
state and receiving no protection from
the state," and that "the duty of pro-
tecting the Indian carries with It the
power to protect." After the case of
Blk vs. Wdkins was deckled in 1884.
congress, in 1887, passed the Dawes
allotment act, by watch any Indian
taking up his residence separate and
apart from the tribe should have full
citizenship of the L'n.ted States. All
of those cases above cited deal with'
the Indian people prior to the grant
of citizenship, and deal w.th them at
a time when they were not citizens of
the United States, but accupyiug the
legal status of Indians, as a'lena,
wards, dependents, ow.ng no alleg-
iance to the states, nor to the United
States.

Final f.gures compiled by the state
eleition board show that Dee Cruce,
democratic candidate for governor,
received a plurality of 20,601 over J.
W. McN'eal, republican. Cruce led the
democratic ticket with a total of 120,-
218. Mc.Veal received 99,527; CumbU
Soc.), 24.607, and Rouch (Pro), 3,214.
Altogether 254,730 Votes were cast.
All six of the state questions were
defeated. Two of them, th. railroad
and tax amendments, carried a "yes"
and "no* vote, but failed to receive a
majority of all the votes cast. In or-
der for any of them to have carried
they would have had to receive 127,
366 "yes" votes. The local option
amendment received the largest num.
ber of favorable votes, 105,141, but
was overwhelmingly defeated, with
126,118 votes against It. The wom-
an's suffrage amendment had 88,208
votes for and 128.928 against. The
Bryan electionlaw , upon which a refj-
erendum was Invoked by the republi

become a law by a bare majority vote.
