Some papers think because the pres-
ident did not tell the birth-place and

Many a man will talk wisely on the
message who has never read It. The
safest way not to waste time Is to a*k
your fcontroventlallat before you begin
with him: "Have you read the presi-
dent's message?"
The state of Texas seems to have
cheated the federal government out of
over fifty thousand tTollars Indemnity
land money. Whut the government
should do. Is get a sherltT sale and take
the state Into the union.
The wisdom of statesmanship now
consists among the democratic mem-
bers of congress .in finding what poli-
cies the majority muy be capable of
espousing and then be the first to take
a public stand on the question.
The question of expansion is one of
principle id" life according to the his-
torians of American institutions. If we
annex-- go outside of the continent--we
are not following the intentions of our
government: if we don't, we will die
of insular stagnation.

The government of the colonies must
be military. The residents of these is-
lands must be kept under control
until a tftege of enlightment is reached
which will allow laws and government
to be safely lodged with them.
The colonial policy of England, in ti
little inore liberal way, must be exer-
cised over them. And the English trade
policies must also be enforced. They
must be made to understand that for
the advancement, and education, the
better government given them by the
l'nU *d States, ithe (trades of these Is-
lands must come to this country: that
the tariffs must be adjusted that thin
country lias the advantage over other
countries there, and these islands the
•advantage over other countries for
their products in the markets of 'the
l'illted States. In other words, there
must be reciprocity between the mother
i country and the "dependencies"
J The "open door" policy means that
j all i iher countries are to be let into the
Islands acquired by us, on an equal
hauls with each other; but not on on
equal basis with the United States.

The people -who are now--or will be

the stars and stripes, bring ins a part

we need and must have and for which
we will exchange things they do not

it is needless to any that Guthrie
never thought of any such thing.. Oth-
er cities which want the public build-
ings located may have such a thing in
mind. This city is willing to trust to
the legislature for all matters of legis-
lation. It has no special requests to
make or advice to offer. It litis no
schemes. It is satisfied with 'the pres-
ent excellent condition and position of
the vlty, had Is hatching no projects of
the kind the News suggests. This idea
of the Newj seems to have come from
some fellow who thinks the time 1s ripe
for the various -territorial institutions.
A strong belief has so far been carried
out that the time 'to locate these In-
stitutions has not yet arrived.. Past
legislatures have so determined. The
next legislature hns this matter entire-
ly In charge, And must decide for it-
elf.
The News Idea that section ?<?, can 1>
bonded, for "public buildings" proves
that it h'as not put a legal lenso down
oil 'this so-called "scheme," This sec-
tion was reserved for the exclusive use
of "The Normal School, University and
A & M College," and cannot be divert-
ed from the channel laid out for it by-
federal law. No man would touch bonds
Issued on this section, were the money
to go out to any other ins! iiutlon - n
those named. So this part of the News
•idea falls flat.
Section 'thirteen Is sr-t apart exclu-
sively for public buildings and can be

carried out.

The main point to get at was "Do \v«-
want any more railroads, or do we want
to sit Idly by and see other towns In the
terltory get them?" having El Reno, the
most prosperous of them all, the laughing
stock of towns that have not one half
