It seems that one Tyrus Cobb

during the past week is running
ahead of his ticket.

Jacksonian Democrat has con-
siderable more skill than its edi-
tor. Gets his dope spread on

DULY CREDITED
An Article published last week en-
**|( Fighting Jones” and
I marked "#Jv" should have been
!credited to the Cushing Indepen-
dent.
It seems hard for the Cushing
editors to get together. In the last
issue of the Shaffer County l)emo-
crat was sn article stating that the
editor would support the democratic
ticket nominated at the primary,
and on another |»age an account of
a meeting of the Republican and
Democrat editors trying to agree
on a candidate for county commis-
sioner from that district. Strange
to say they could not agree.
The Cushing newspapers have al-
ready set the pace for the coming
campaign. They have lined it up
as a moral scrap between the strict
law enforcement element and those
who favor an open policy. It is
charged that the light is to be made
in the democratic party as the re-
publican and progressives are in a
somewhat troubled state, and that
the "open policy” men have their
eyes on democratic candidates. If
the Cushing papers are correct, the
democrats should sit up and take
notice and put out candidates who
favor law enforcement in every re-
spect. A law should be enforced as
long as it remains on the statute
books.
It seems to be the sentiment of
the citizenship of Payne county to
favor the individual for an office
holder who is fearless in the per-
formance of duty, and anything
which has significance of machine
politics or boss rule is shunned by
a liberty loving democracy. The
constitution of Oklahoma and the
statutes of the state provide a rep-
resentative democracy or republican
form of government. If political
machines are organized (and there
seem to be a number in various
parts of the state) the will of the
people in whom the power should
be vested is placed in the hands of a
few politicians, who depend solely
on tact and bossism to accomplish
their purpose. There seems to be a
tendency of an element of the dem-
ocratic party of Payne county to
overlook their democratic princi-
ples and use the aforesaid methods
to nominate candidates who are
personal friends of theirs to the
detriment of other candidates who
are members of the same party.
This method of machine politics pre-
vailed in the time of Boss Tweed,
but was broken up, and if the dem-
ocratic party wishes to win, it must
recognize the will of the people and
not merely the will of some local
organization. The steam roller has
torn the republican party asunder,
and it will do the same for any
other party who employs its meth-
ods. Democrats, are you going to
favor a DEMOCRATIC ticket or a
MACHINE ticket? It’s now up to
you to decide.

Signs of the Millennium
When the Millennium comes
there will be great improvement
in swine and the American hog
who puffs a cigar in a lady’s
face will weigh half a ton.
In that golden age when a two
legged animal spits in a lady’s
plate, it will de good form to
say, ‘excuse me. madam.’’ She
wili reply, “my refined and es-
teemed friend, don‘t mention it.*‘
In that happy time no one will
so lar forget his obligation to a
brother as to pasture his cow in
his neighbor's garden or turn
his pigs into your parlor with-
out a written invitation,
Id that coming day no one
wilt find'it necessary to tie his
neighbor's chickens so his
horses can eat unmolested.
In that glorious time no one.
white or black, will set up a
joint under any pretext, and no
one would patronize it if they
did.—Contributed

Sou.** of lb« Oklahoma member*
are grow.ng reative under the
prolonged irtiloo of Longreae
aud »how*igoaof breaking aw ay
from Waaotngton to look after
their political fence* at borne.
The House calendar will aooo be
dicpoied of and the House will
then oe in *e**ion cnly nominal-
ly to await the action of the
senate on the appropriation
measures sod the anti trust bill*
that nave already passed the
bouse and are now being con-
sidered by the Senate.
Congressman Weaver went
home Friday night The other
Oklahomans will remain until
the legislative program of the
House is completed Congress-
man Thompson when asked
when be would depart replied:-
••Not until the sundry civil
bill carrying the appropriation
for Platt National Park at Sul.
phur, and the Indian’ appropria-
tion bill providing a per capita
payment for the Indians are dis-
posed of. “
The farmers will be compelled
to struggle along for another
year without any relief in the
way of rural credit lbgislation.
The failure of the house to legis-
late on this important subject so
vitally affecting the welfare of
the farming and laboring classes
is due solely to the action of the
members of the Committee on
Banking and Currency, which
has just agreed to postpone re-
porting a bill on that subject un-
til the next session of Congress,
It seems that the action taken
by the committee in postponing
this important legislation was
unanimous with the exception of
the protest of Congressman
Ragsdale, of South Carolina,
who insisted upon immediately
reporting a bill. The other two
recognized champions of the
farming interests, Congressman
Neely, of Kansas, and Wingo,
of Arkansas, were absent when
the action was taken. Mr.
Neely being in Kansas, and Mr.
Wingo beirg confined to his
home by sickness.
Congressman Thompson is
very much put out on account of
tbe action of the Banking and
Currency Committee, as he had
been assured by the leaders of
the House that if the Committee
would report a bill it would be
considered and passed at this
session.
