The Guthrie club made a contrn
*\Hh the Incorporators of th Shawn-
Oklahoma and Indian Territory rail-
agad company. It was adopted b
vot.- of the dub—majority rule. ThN !
fbstrini has been patched for their i
flm-e.
Tlu-re Is Inactivity now. X- commit
are out; no money boing raised. It
looks to us canslderably like horse-
play: a lack of business.
As has been previously stated, llv
railroad committee from the (Suthri-
club .worked two half days en the sub-
•triptinn* to the Shawnee, oklahoma
anrt Indian Territory tuilroad. In that
t!me*neail.v 111'"00 were raised Since
then nothing has been done. The list
has been raised by "volunteer" solicit-
ed by Secretary Lucas subscription bv
enly about two thousand dollars. In
the meantime at least one hundred citi-
zens have expressed themselves as will-
ing to give, "but v. have nev-r been
solicited." We have no hesitant y ti
raying that wer- the Guthrie club to
drop red t«i methods, to delegate th-
men who are bt st able to do* the solic it-
ing—hire them, if necessary .ind get t .
work, fhe mom y could be raised
within the next week. A great major-
ity of the subscriptions on the list nt
present «-ouI 1 ! • increased by SOLICIT-
ING, and Ht least four hundred mori
names could 1 added to it. The rail-
road Is something Guthrie must have.
It meii'.s cheaper fuel and lumber, a
large commercial territory and a com-
petitive line. Why wrangle ti way the
limited number of days In which to em

IMPOKTAN4 F. OF N«l.l< ITIM;
The succ- saful business solicitor Is
the most important and Interesting in-
dividual of the business world. Th
real solicitor is in fact one of the domi-
nant factors, no matter under what
branch of soliciting be comes. HI.*
methods are the rudiments of business
The State Capl il sees many reasons
why the general public should be In-
terest" 1 In his methods. Every enter-
prise of a public nature depends largely
on the solicitors who take it In hand.
While thei-e men ore always of the
highest standing, they are not always
solicitors, and for that reason the suc-
cess of public enterprise is affected by
their methods.
The su« cesiiful solicitor knows how
to analyse men and his first effort Is
to' solve the nature of the objective pat-
ron to his project. Quickly and sys-
tematically he locates the vulnerable
points and begins his attack In the
manner best suited to success. The
most rigid and presumably Impregna-
ble business men are made to admire
him and enjoy patronizing him. He
knows how to par that vital little word
"No" with perfect accuracy. He is
never offensive or harsh—carries a dig
nlty and affability that Is winning—
his meln is 8U' h as to never grate upon
any one and at the same time he holds
the utmost respect and courtesy.
An abrupt and unwelghed "no" is his
delight. The answer conies from with-
out the man knowing anything of his
proposition, and If he does, the well
pusted uolicitors soon politely und un-
avoidably calls his attention to a mul-
(Utude of things that he hadn't thought
•f before. By tact, parley and worry
lie wins. In regard to the man who
•ays "no." we quote from an Interview
of Colonel Stephen McGrandel, the
prince of insuran- e solicitors, who drew
up until his death the largest salary
ever paid a man of his class, lie says
"Give me tli man who says no. He
Is. nine tin. , out of ttn. whimsical and
mall* ubl« He smvs no becaus* he lias
b«en an ensv n ., rk all his lit- If he w ..-
ea>y for sonieii .n v else, 1 pride myself
that 1 can handle htm."

The Hon. I.eonldas F. Livingston, a
1-mocratl. member of congress from
Georgia, se ms to be very much dis-
turbed by the confusing decision of
the court on the Porto lllcun eases."
He says that t« has dlcussed the sub-
jet i with many of tfie ablest lawyers,
and that In his Judgment and In theirs
then la "nothing t-> prevent thl coun-
try being flood- d W ith the product of
the Philippines and also with Immi-
grants from those countries, notwith-
standing our existing tariff legislation
and Immigration laws." The Bpooner
am ii'iui- :.t is no comfort to Mr. Liv-
ingston mid he thinks thut there should
be a called session of congress.
The New York Sun thinks Mr. Liv-
ingston's anxiety Is a little excessive.
Il Is no - probable that a vast amount
of Filipino products will be dumped
upon the United States before the regu-
lar session of congress, and the presi-
dent can leave the matter to congress
Whenever he deems It best, to do so.
Mr Livingston has no dread or sus-
picion of the "lust for power" and Im-
perial designs which some of the antl-
Iraperiallst wlaeacrea attribute to Mr.
Mi K inley. President McKlnley." any*
the t'raeker congressman, "is not one
of Mie presidents who fears to have
congress on his hands. «>n the contrary,
he seems to like to have congress share
the responsibility with him when h'.s
cunfoiitcd by thes.- troublesome prob-
lems."
Such is the "McKlnley, Rex" and
"McKlnley, Imperator" of whom some
democrat !■' newspapers prattle. This is
the destroyer of our liberties over
whose founding of an empire Mr. Bout-
well of Groton is weeping, and In horror
of whom Dr. I.eversoti .>f Brooklyn n 1 -
ready dates his letters "Year One of the
Empire."

Among the live business organizations
of the South —a section whose com-
mercial bodies are particularly distin-
guished for the diversity and effective-
• of their 'a rk th^ Commercial and
Industrial association of Montgomery
Is fairly entitled to high rank. Just at
•ent It is directing its energies to
securing of a modem first-class
luf^el for the Alabama capital, and See-
ry (illbert. In his annual report
submitted sonie days ago, makes this
reference to the subject:
The pre-eminent lmi*>rtance of one sub-
ject t'.wt IS 11 I lo \ e jind eX. Ill.les thought of
all others. I titII that question is met and
solved by the business community of
Montgomery w. need address ourselves
to no oth. r task. No progressive, loyal
citizen can feel a real pride In the city In
which he lives, or can « - out among the
outside world with self-eonildetice and
gratification until "Montgomery's hotels"
cease to be a i \ word in the mouths of
the traveling public.
A peculiar sensitiveness concerning
its hotels not Infrequently attaches to
the people of a city, the tendency of
which Is to blind them to Its shortcom-
ings In this par h ular, and thus to keep
too far behind the times in a matter of
prime importance. Guthrie has no more
reason to be sensitive about its hotels
than has Mon gotnery Neither have
we ti Planters, a St. I'harles or an Astor
to hang upon In traditional reverence.
It Is a manifest need that neither can
get along without The Montgomery
Commercial club has succeeded in sup-
plying their city. Guthrie will want to
become great, and will place Its name
shortly following Montgomery on tin-
hotel register.

He might have been mistaken." says !
he Clarion, "but his earnestness m- ty

New York Christian scientist,
young Mr. Bidwell, to demonstrate the
pow er or mind over matter, jumped off
Brooklyn bridge the other day, feeling
quite sure that he would not be Injured
His friends are now mourning over his
shuttered remains. His mind scattered
over too much matter. A prominent
'hristian scientist states that he must
certainly have been lacking in faith.
We must understand from this that
had he more faith he would have
chosen a moi e hazardous und certain
death.
At last'
To decide a wager and for the pur-
pose also of demonstrating that a per-
son In the right frame of mind need not
consider at all what he puts into his
stomach. Peter Strolger, aged * r , of
Ashland. Ky , drank a pint of whisky
and a pint of turpentine, and ate two
10-cent plugs of tobacco th. other day.
He felt "slightly unwell" for a few min-
utes. but u quart of hot water taken In-
ternally and a mustard plaster applied
externally brought, him around so that
he was able to do justice to a good sup-
per. The report of this Incident adds
the valuable Information that Mr. Strol-
ger was a drummer for years.
Andrew Carnegie has bought two
townships on th. Hudson. Andy has a
great head on him. If he had bought
two townships in Oklahoma the public
would at once know that there was no
ainoerlt) to hia statement that he is
to dicp oor Hut In New York—well. It
may be considered a stroke of Andy's
genius as well as a proof of his good
intentions.

The "R" In John R. Mc-

John Is one of the best fixed of demo-

he loosen his grip on his middle name?
Rudyard Kipling is having trouble

"escape us" rhyme with "papers." Hud-
