What It takes to make a Pop-
if you favor public robbery for the IntcreMt
of the few,
If you want the bank* to tell the jaMiple what
they all uiu t do,
If you would lie the under dog and to Wall
street music hop,
You'd better utay right where you're at-you
wouldn't make a Pop.
If you favor debt and mlHery forever wltliout
end.
If for Cleveland's endh*iM golden chain you
earnestly contend,
If moaabnuk Inpoiltloa, without mmse onottuli
to flop,
You're In bondage to tho money power and
and wouldn't make a Pop.
if you believe with Cleveland that credit
cornea by debt,
If you advocate gold standard and for bonds
you fume ami fret,
If you cringe before the money loriln, sell your
votes for pie or op,
You're not the right material out of which to
make a Pop.
The times now call for h«roe -lioneat, bmve
and true,
Patriots like the fathers who pulled Columbia
through,
Men who are right and full of light from hot-
tom up to top,
Such Ih the grade of human goods from which
to make a Pop.

A few years ago the idea of the
necessity of a third party was ridi-
culed by the men of the two old
parties. They argued then that
there could be no third party. That
two parties was all that could exist
in this country. That the Republi-
can and Democratic parties, were
the great political parties and al-
ways would be, etc. In view of like
assertions it is amusing in the ex-
treme to the Peoples party fellows
to see these same men who only a
year ago, took such a posititive
stand in regard to a third party,
talking for a new silver party with
might and main. They are coming
to a realization of the fact that re-
forms within old party lines is an
absurdity.
It is amusing to hear Frank
Smith's supporters urging citizens
of Norman to vote for Frank
They offer as their reason for
doing so, that Berry is too good a
man for the place. They are
solicitous about Mr. Berry's wellfare
that they are unwilling to see such
a good man elected to the office of
city marshal of Norman, least it
might ruin him. If you will notice
this class of good Samaritans closely
you will observe their wings growing
nicely.
We believe that this objection they
are urging will seriously injure Mr.
Berry's chances of receiving a hun-
dred and fifty plurality. One hun-
dred will be about his plurality since
the above objection has been raised.
To secure reforms in American
politics new alignments of politicals
parties is a necessity. An old polit
ical organization was never known
to reform anything. It tendency is
always in the opposite direction.
The Democratic party is a striking
illustration of this fact. What great
reforms has its return to power
brought about?

The gold standard, now fitted to
a shivering world is squeezing the
life out of it. The men of of the
country, the backbone of the re-
public, on whose strong arms the
life of the nation may depend, are
delivering over their property to
their creditors, and going into beg-
gary. This is the test proof of the
beneficence of monometallism.
'Coin."
A new hearing on the Income tax
is set for May, 6th. Justice Jackson
is expected to be present at the new
hearing. It is reported that he is
favorable to the bill also the Presi

may be sustained yet.

on its hands at the present time to-
wit: Disproving statements made in

Editors are garbling them some,

you think?

An Explanation.
In the two last issues of the State-
Democrat, the editor (?) of that sheet
has concerned himself with the affairs
of l. J. Peterson to an extent scarcely
short of alarm. In the first place it
seems that he is trying to create the
impression upon the public that I am
crabbing- everything in the way of
fees and "salary" that I can secure
regardless of law, or suffering human-
ity. He says that I draw a '-fat" war-
rant for salary and was allowed "fees"
for my services on the board of health
I did draw a warrant for my salary ac-
cording to the provisions of the law.
I did not get "fees" for my services on
the board of health, and Mr. Bixler
publishes an unqualified untruth when
ho publishes it. Mr. Wynne, (demo-
crat clerk)sets forth -in his transcrip-
tion of the commissioner's proceedings
that I was allowed for "expense on
hoard of health $3.50." Mr. Bixler
(Democrat Editor?) publishes it. As a
matter of fact it was positively disal-
lowed. Trie mistake lies between
liixlerand Wynne—two democrats,and
/ « ca" a"just lt- u is a mistake
of Mr. Wvnne's, eagerly caught up
sanctioned and magnified into a malic-
ious falsehood by Bixler, and so suout-
ed forth iu his Semi-Weekly fu) mi na-
tions.
In the second place, Hixltr says that
he is not "aware" of any provision In
the "statutes" whereby I am allowed
compensation for mv services on the
Board of Health. If he could prevail
on his distorted imagination to rest
long enough to allow him to read the
law on the subject, I would feel inclined'
to give him reference—I will say for
-j-n keHellt of our readers that section
350, of the Oklahoma statutes provide
"the president of the county board of
health shall receive Ave cents a mile
for each mile actually and necessarily
travelled in the performance of his du-
ties as a member of tho board." Sec-
tion 348, provides that "All expenses
actually and necessarily paid or incur-
ed by the county board of health
shall be audited by said board ar.d cer-
tified to the county commissioners and
shall be paid as other expenses are
paid. '
My entire bill for the 19 days that
the quarantine lasted was $9.95—$3.50
of which was disallowed.it being an ex-
pense account for team hire.
I do not know of anything further
that I could explain. 1 cannot explain
why I drew "fees" and "salary" as
Bixler charged, for I never did so.
I cannot explain why Bixler would
persist in handling the truth so care-
lessly, unless it were a force of habit
that he has of assailing a person's char-
acter where he runs short of news be-
cause he knows that he is secure from
any retaliation. Willi no disposition
to precipitate a newspaper controversy,
and only a desire to give my friends
a true explanation of this "outrage;"
I will bow myself out of his (Bixler's)
august presence, with a sincere desire
that he will try in the future to culti-
vate a gentle disposition toward the
truth, and learn to realize the abomni-
able character of "the false accuser."
Very Respectfully,
l. j. Peterson.
