MRS. WESTERVELT &ANDERSO s
The Fruits of Fusion.
Guthrie (I'op.) Representative.
N-ext week the Fourth legislative
assembly of Oklahoma die3 and
passes into history. It will he re-
membered and referred to in after
years for its acts of omission as well
as commission, and it will be con-
spicuously odious if the former pre-
dominate. Continuing from the
date of this publication, it has sev-
en days remaining in which to
make a record! So far, thebalance
is on the wiqng side of the election
ledger.
The members were not only elec-
ted upon the broad, underliving
principles of reform, out upon spe-
cilic premises, made in the most
sacred manner between man and
man, to correct certain abuses in
our code of laws and to pass certain
measures of relief for the people of
Oklahoma. The platforms were
loaded with resolutions reciting the
general conditions of distress and
promising remedies of relief; stump
orators dilated to their full lingual
capacity in pledging their candi
dates to redress the people's wrongs.
The people are expecting and de-
manding that all tlu'«e obligations
be fulfilled—in tact they must be
met to the letter, else the com bin a
tion that made this legislature pos-
sible is forever doomed and damned.
In the dissapointment that will
follow the failure of this assembly
to do the work assigned it by the
peopl", we see the direst results for
the reform movement. The Repre-
sentative has repeatedly sounded
this note of warning until it is tired
of re iters t og and rjihrnrsing what
anyone with ordinary political sag-
acity should recognize without
prompting.
The Representative encouraged
a.nd supported this unLpn, consci-
entiously believing it to be the on-
ly salvation in Israel from the ig-
norant and vicious elements then
in control. It has sought to point
out the ditches into which the as-
sembly has blindly tumbled in it-
foolish desire to carry water on
•both shoulders—in its sill v pander
ing to the cries of "'donothing rash,
preserve the established order, be
careful, ooch!" It has striven to
criticise impartially the actions of
the legislature, stultifying all pre
judices that may have existed in
its favor, and admitted and pointed
out its errors as freely as it has
praised the good that it has accomp-
lished.
But the course it has chosen to
pursue ha^ bein apparently a heed-
less one and the one that the people
will most certainly repudiate at the
next election.
The Representative serves notice
here and now that unless the legis-
lnture receedes from its suicidal pol-
icy of childish conservation, and in
these closing days redeems the
promises made in the race for office,
it is done with the combination.,
It will not follow a lost cause to a !
dishonored grave. ( There is a right !
and a wrong in politics, and this
paper will serve right, though it bt ,
forever barred from supping from i
the llesh pots of office in the enchant,
ed halls of power.

of thousands who have used this
remedy for la grippe, we have yet
to learn of a single case having
relulted in pneumonia, which
shows conclusively that this reme-
dy is a certain preventative of that
dread disease. It will effect a per-
