Most people know that if they have
been sick they need Scott's Em ill'
sion to bring back health and strength.
But the strongest point about Scott's
Emulsion is that you don't have to be
•ick to get results from it.
It keeps up the athlete's strength, puts'fat
on thin people, makes a fretful baby happy,
brings color to a pale girl's cheeks, and pre-
vents coughs, colds and consumption.
Food in concentrated form for sick and
well, young and old, rich and poor.

• lays ago that the republican party
will support the constitution. M looks
very much like the republican organi-
( /ation and the State Capital had come
j io the parting of the ways.
11 is our candid opinion that when
I the new constitution is placed before
the people that the republican poli-
! tlcians and appointed office holders
will take to the tall and uncut.
I It is the duty of every American
' eitizen to study the new constitution
I which will be voted upon on the dth
day of August and then cast a vote
which signifies intelligence and not
partisanism.
According to the republican attorney
general of Oklahoma the corporations
have exacted $18,000,000 of tribute
from the Oklahoma people. Will you
east your vote for further tribute?
Echo answers: "No."
On the 22ml day of next month Ok-
lahoma will have been under political
bondage for eighteen years and yet
a few pie counter fellows and the
corporations are anxious for the dear
people to continue in bondage.
It is too awfully had that the con-
stitutional convention killed the last
hope that the office holding republi-
cans had of getting statehood defeat-
ed by passing the separate coach
law up to the first legislature. Their
only hope was in having President
Roosevelt turn down the constitution.

P voted against the initia-
tive and referendum in the constitu-
tion, declaring it again.-1 the consti-
tution of the Cnited States. The I nit t:
live and referendum is the rule of
the people direct. Of course, anything
which places the people in a position
to govern themselves is unconstitu-
tional in the eyes of the average trust

The democracy of Oklahoma has
laid the foundation for the new state
on the bedrock of common sense an i
justice to all. The constitutional con-
vention has followed safe lines and
the road to democratic success is now
clear. Hut, while democrats are in a
majority in the soon to be new state,
they should stand together and pre-
sent a solid front. Two t'nited
States senators are big stakes in the
game of politics, and the part> that
stole the presidency in lsT'l is richer
and more daring than it over was.
Oklahoma's Constitution.
(By Prof. J. S Buchanan.)
The people of Oklahoma who have I
11.ten robbed for the past seventeen
years by the railroads of this country
should read the constitution of Oklaho-'
ma on public service corporations and
| see the relief in sight as sewn as |
i hat constitution becomes operative.
Section tw oproviiles that the rail-!
roads must receive and transport each ;
other's cars loaded or empty without
delay or discrimination and the com- !
j mission provided for has the power
j to fix the rates, so Norman should j
have no more trouble on account of
| not being able to buy .Me Mester coal
j because the Santa Fe refuses to make
! rates with the Choctaw road- our
eommission will attend to that.
1 The constitution also includes tele-
phone, telegraph, pipe lines and ex- j
press companies and all transprotation
1 and transmission companies as within
'the sphere of common carriers to he

ions in regard to the regulation and

more strict than any state in the

all fictitious increase of stock or

Corporations shall not influence elec-

Every license i sued or charter grant

of good wholesome regulations but

provides that, "no person, firm or

The Norman merchant who sells
Kansas flour in preference to the
Norman flour helps to depreciate t he
value of every wheat growing farm in
Ch\eland county. Can Norman mer-
chants afford to maintain this atti-
tude toward so many of our farmers?
Kansas mills have hired agents and
distributers for their flour here in
Norman. Would one of those agents
or distributers" complain if Sears,
Roebuck v Co. should establish an
agency in a box car in Norman?
Lets have the answer.
The Norman Mill is paying each
month to help maintain crossings at
the South Canadian Itiver. This
money of our home mill brings cus-
tomers to Norman, and actually some
of our merchants after getting the
benefit of this money contributed by
our home mill insist on selling these
customers from across the river a
Kansas flour. This may be business,
but we do insist that it is not that
class or quality of business that ever
built a town, or made a better town.
The agents of these mills are here,
and It is now in order for these
agents to let our people know if these
Kansas mills are doing the square
thing like our home mill. Next week
we shall publish what the Kansas
mills pay.

The ci:\ campaign is on in full
force. It is a political campaign pure
and simple The republican leaders
are working hard for the success of
their ticket. Polities with our political
enemy lias extended into school af-
fairs. It has reached the out-lying
disttic' The republicans put up two
of their candidates. Heretofore poll-
tics has not entered in the out side
district. The democrats refused to
put up candidates for the outside
district for the reason that the policy
of the democratic party is not to
mix polities and school affairs.
In the third ward Prof. L. W. Cole
who has been on the board for years
was solicited by all parties to be-
come a candidate. He refused. Mr.
Roland Hughes who i> a heavy tax
school was unanimously nominated
by the democrats.

good man but he has no direct in-
terest in our public schools. It is our
