Stand up For Guthrie Today.
Of coursc if any one sUKKcstcd that anybody in Guthrie did not want the
Fort Smith and Western railroad to n.me here he would be laughed at.
Everybody docs want the road and everybody thinks lie knows that it is
coming. That ; • just the trouble. The people arc over confiden
There is not much more to be raised in order to complete the bonus but
that must be secured today. The coin niittec lacks less than $5.000 almost
that much, however and they must be given notes for it today.
The men who are to benefit from the coming of the road should put > |>
the balance of the money in proportion as thilr interests are affected There
should be no Instancy, however, on the part of any person who baa not al- |
ready subscribed to get onto the list.
The proud manner in which Guthrie has raised the Choctaw bonus and
the most of the Fort Smith & Western bonus should be respected in finishing
up the little fag end of this one.
No man iu this city can afford to be a piker at this angle of the affair.
It took a lot of pi. Jung to land some of the men who arc really inter-
ested in furthering Guthrie, but they came to the front and arc now the best
boomers in the bunch.
It is a matter of felicitation -o the people of Guthrie that they have
done as well as they have in this m attcr. They need not be ashamed of
the record oi the town in the line of progress. If the balance of this bonus
is not made up today, however, so that the Stale Capital can publish the tid-
ings of a closed contract in tomorrow's 1 .sue there will be suspicion that a
blush is dnc to the men who arc not on the list if they have any property
here or any public spirit.
No man whose name is not there and who knows it should be there
should rest or sleep in peace until he has paid to Guthrie what he justly
owes to her as the scene of his succcs s. By paying the debt to the city he
will be making him «If the benefactor of a gilt many times greater than his
donation.
There is small room for pikers in I he town of up-to-date methods and
men. There arc few pikers in Guthrie and tonight it should be forgotten that
there arc any.
Get iu line lor Guthrie. Get into t he front ranks of good men. Subscribe
a few dollars for the fund that brings you many.
Guthrie is no two-bit town. It must not take more than a day to raise
this trivial balance. Other cities nn; be able to pose as pikers. Guthrie
must not.
The future of the city that stands as the metropolis and the center of
government of Oklahoma must not suffer from the niggardliness of its citi-
[j Valentines.

LIVESTOCK ASSOCIATION
INVITED TO GUTHRIE
No greater metamorphosis has taken
place in the Southwest than the change
in the manner of doing business
among livestock men.
The eighth annual meeting of the
Qklah<ima \ ■ -> iat on 1 • in < ion at
Wichita. In this as emblj are cow-
men from all the immense range ana
pasture country of the great South
west. Many ol them drove their herds
of longhiirn to Abilene over the end
less trail of the old <1 iy there to take
the freight to market. I'liey roped va
grant steers on the Guadaloupc and
the Rio Pecos. They watched for
mavrnck rustlers on the Arkansas
iirj the Cimarron ri\crs while tin. nor-
ther depleted the herds or the parched
bad lands refused them drink.
In those days, not o long ago, the
long. lean, attenuated steer w.: of
small value and doubtful as an asset.
Range w.i- free and the cost of a cow

If the coalition of the Latin Ameri-
can states shall occur it will no doubt
be brought about by the efforts of
it hile. Mexico and Argentine. Of these
Mexico under Diaz is, of coursc, the
best governed and shows the greatest
I aptitude for political development.
Argentine is in tnc lead industrially
and is constantly receiving a large im-
migration from Europe. Chile is the
aggressive forceful stute. Self assert-
ive and aggressively warlike it stands
ready to assert leadership.
If a Spanish confederacy is ever to
be established it should be under the
hegemony of one of these three.
Seemingly endless difficulties stand
in the way of union, but these may be
morc apparent than real. British crit-
ics said that the Southern common-
wealths of the United States could nev-
er be reconciled. Many men in the
North believed this. Its fallacy has
long been demonstrated.
So the belief that the Spanish-Amer-
icans lack the genius of government
may have to go the way of errors, and
