THE TIMES' POLITICAL PLATFORM
Protection to the American silver dollar.
Protection to American labor by protect-
ing American Industries.
For president of the United states, IK*;,
William McKlnley, of Ohio.
"Ami what," they all ask, "Is woman's
sphere?"
There's no argument here to l>e parried;
The answer is brief and simple and clear
W oman's fear is that she won't get mar
rled.
Remember the board of trad
meeting tonight at Brook's hall a
7:30p. m.
Gentlemen, those of you who
shall represent P county and Perry at
the Statehood convention at King
fisher a wrek hence, The Times
wishes you a pleasant trip, grand re
suits and safe return.
Mr. h. h. Wyckoff, a citizen of
Perry and a man of ability and en-
ergy, is c ompletely exonerated from
all charges made againwt him by a
company in which he was formerly
interested. Not only so, but H. H.
Wyckoff later brought suit against
the company and won it.
Let the officers of the board of
trade be elected from among the
directors. There is much to say
favoring the adoption of this plan.
Change the personnel of the board
every six months if the members
wish, but let the officers be always
chosen from the board of directors.
The banks do this and they know it
to be a wise plan.
RlCAARD Nevins, Jr., in the dual
capacity of city surveyor and county
surveyor will prove equal to the
many demands liable to be made up-
on him. The appointment last
Wednesday of this gentleman to the
county surveyorship is looked upon
as an endorsement of his fitness and
ability which time will show is not
misplaced.
At the board of trade meeting to-
night let the directors be empowered
to advertise for bids for the improve-
meut of a road on a section line east
of this city and for two-thirds of the
distance to Pawnee. Gentlemen, the
improvement of highways leading
into this city is, in our opinion, your
first work because the most vital, and
the suggestion above is made as a
starter.
4.DOD ROADtt ARE IMPERATIVE.
This city is so situated as to age
condition and circumstance that it
must avail itself of every opportunity
that presents itself w hich will add to
its trade. Tb«' hundreds of thousands
of dollars in >tcd in stocks of mer-
chandise musi i ;irn the expected in-
terest. Proprietor and employe alike
must be kept busy and the wheels of
commerce kept moving.
Our merchants are today busy.
Fresh stocks by the train loads are
arriving daily to take the place of
stocks that have been sold at retail
over the counter. Practically every-
one has something to do and is doing
it. The Times sounds no warning.
It does not speak of stagnation or
anything approaching it. There is no
necessity for that. But we do wish to
impress upon our people, our board
of trade and our city and county
authorities the urgent need for good
roads north, south, east and west of
us and for a radius averaging, say,
fifteen miles at the least, If for a
greater distance so much the better
for this city's good.
Good roads are the veins along
which flow the very life blood of com-
merce* This is more than figure.
This is more than symbol. Clog the
road, obstruct the progress of the
How in any manner and the entire
system languishes. Nature has given
us roadbeds almost as good as the
best macadam. Nature too, as if to
give man an opportunity to legitim-
ately say "I have aided in doing this,"
has left a few ridges or hillocks and
some depressions in the way. The
grading or cutting down, and the
filling in of these, the people must do.
Only recently the claimant of a quar-
ter section of land twentyeight miles
almost due north of Perry, and him-
self a prefessor of languages, per-
suaded three of his neighbors to ac-
company him to Perry on a provision
and lumber purchasing trip. The trip
was taken despite the fact that a town
at which might be bought everything
they needed lay to the north of them
only twelve miles. Just three bad
depressions wore encountered, the
ascending side of one being of an
angle of 45 degrees. Neither of these
three men will visit this city again
upon a business trip,—at least, not
until they are assured of a greatly
improved roadway. Until this is
done the merchants of Blackwell will
have and cold their trade. This too,
in spite of the fact that prices,- on
lumber particularly, are much lower
here than there.
East of us lies a large territory
which should be Perry's own,—but is
not. Over seven hundred Pawnees,
each with an annual money receipt of
four hundred dollars from the gov-
ernment are there. A live town is
also there and this is that town's
nearest railroad point and yet her
merchants in many instances replen-
ish their shelves from Stillwater, her-
self isolated from railroad advan-
tages. Perry should improve the
road east for twothirds of the dis-
tance to Pawnee, and the latter city
will take hold of and complete the
other remaining third. Perhaps
Pawnee will do more than this. On
such a completed road, travel be-
tween this city and the entire Pawnee
region would be made easy. Travel
also to Stillwater on this road could
be maintained to a point directly
north of the latter town, to the great
advantage of those going over it.

Good roads are an imperative
necessity. Few persons comprehend
their advantage as they should.
Most everyone simply looks rpon
them as a convenience only. They
are vital necessities. They are the
veins along which flow life's most
necessary fluids. Here is a work for
the board of trade. Gentlemen, you
cannot get into fighting condition a
moment too soon.
over
This would mean for the traveler be-
tween these two cities that lie
would have at least fourteen miles of
good, easy teaming. Ten miles of
grading and other improvement
would on the south and west sides
bring us to the county line.
As to the cost, no exact figures can
be given by us. A fair estimate how-
ever can be formed when we say that,
on the authority of the gentleman
living twentyeight miles north of
Perry and whom we have quoted,
the sum of one hundred and fifty
dollars would make a good road to
his place, twentyeight miles away
But, no matter what the cost is, we
must have good roads if we would
continue to prosper. Let these be
Improved along a section line so
that there shall be no clashing with
iudividual rights; let the work be
done thoroughly and honestly and no
matte.- what the expense, this city
will be the great gainer. Make the
grade easy, cut down the obstruction
and bridge the gully and trade will
come our way as water will run down
hill. Now is the opportunity, now is
the time. Grasp the chance and all
will be well; lose it and you have lost
it indefinitely.
Aoain, let us stat« that the city au
thorities should obtain the consent of
county P to erect a jail of Btone ma-
terial upon the square. Lodge and
feed the county prisoners here, in-
stead of at Guthrie. Charge the
county a certain fixed sum per head
per diem for such accommodations.
Keep the county's money in the coun-
ty, provide both with a central jail,
accommodating both and robbing
icither.
