SOMfc HAST PROGRESS POINTED OUT
AS A SUGGESTION i-OR NOW
When the first ten: was pitched on the hillside that fronts the Santa he
track in Guthrie it faced the only artery of commerce that entered Oklahoma.
There were other towns on the saine steel line that bound the new country
to the old. From that lir-t day m the new country the spirit that made Guth-
rie the capital oi the territory has been evident in the push of the citizens of
this city. Likewise lias enterprise been evident in the other citics that started
on that same day and have grown in the same manner, 'fhe city of Guthrie
has grown in populat on and in business importance at a rate not exceeded 1 j
the other towns. The <■ nc track :hat entered the territroy at that time has^bc
come jut one of many. Hie others have nearly all found their way to Guth-
rie. Those ill:it have not arc coming—all but one. It must come.
The greatest railroad in the southwest, the line that offers most for the
benefit oi the city is hesitating because the people are hesitating. Ihere lias
been much work done by public spirited citizens toward furnishing the re
quired inducements to br ng the M. K. & T. road to Guthrie and they have
gotten the matter in such shape that the chance of securing the road and its
attendant bcnchU is l i glu. There is little time to finish the work, however,
and there is yet much to be done. 1 he people of Guthrie must look at tuc
great thing. that they have done—-at the condition in which they found them-
selves ■ n ; hat first d.v ml compare he prist nt wiih it. The things that have
been done by them arc monum n.s to ihe pluck of the pioneer. 1 hen when
the question of coinplc.ing a little thing like the bonus for the M. K. & 1..
arises they can see ti.eir way dear to the accomplishment of that result. 1 lie
traditions of the people of the new counery are eloquent in their denunciation
Ol the man who lag-. The spirit "i conquest oi the impossible has ever been
•trong in the uti/.ns oi Guthrie. The grip on co Minors hat has made eve.,
the adverse to con.onn t the iucc-sii;es of the oca-ion is characteristic of
the true Oklahoman 1 He argument that the people - an do what is necessary
in the premi « -t.i' i lied by a retro.-peeiive glance to w.ial they have done.
There is but a hyit inn. u wKW f'! jjjysh ^ic M K & T. bonus. Tnere
are other pla.i • with that aine ORlahoma spirit thai are ready to undertake
the work of securing his r >ad in e\ent the petfple of Guthrie shall say thai
the thing is imp • le. The situation has beanies one of the greatest
urgenc .. The; is . n y one way out -just one means by winch the city may
profit gre; ti., and in lie t ilutv of which it will "s- more markedly. I lie
balance lie \i. K 1. ubscri, ns must Le ia s d tomorrow. There is no
doubt that it c..n be done—: ere is no doubt in the nunds oi the people that
il will done. . That i- he trouble in the whole affair.
Many of the people are -•> sure iliat the mud will be raised that they are
delaying the raising oi it in the idea that omc other will put up and thus save
them ihe small inn rep - it e to make good their sliares. Ihe committee during
the last two days of the week did good work. They accomplished much that
will be oi lasting benefit to their city. The people are expected to see that tiie
Committees ecure i inc of the necessary subscriptions tomorrow. 1 hen
the contract will be closed that will give Guthrie another great railroad line
•nd the .shops of the s> stein. This will mean a pay roll in the city each month
oi almost as much a^ the entire bonus t >r the system. It will mean the open-
ing of new territory for the Guthrie jobbers, the location of many factories iln
tins city, the cheapening oi freight ra es in those lines where Guthrie has now
no comepting carriers.
The people oi Guthrie will close the subscription tomorrow. That is tlie
spir t of them. Il i he"way they H ive when they are confronted by a crisis.
There are none who will fad to do their share when they appreciate their duly
and the critical nature .>i the situation, fhe committees arc going to explain
to them that the duty is plain and the situation tense .
THE IDEA OE CECIL RHODES
IN ITS PRACTICAL APPLICATION
One of the rhetorical questions oi Cecil Rhodes as reported by his latest
bioghapher "What is the use of having idea-, unless >ou have money to carry
them out?" It throws a llash of light upon the man and, so iar as he is typ.cai
of the whole Knglish enterprise in South Africa, up ti that too. The life oi
Rhodes is apparently very near its close. Ihe implacable tales have not the
curiosity to ae what role he might have played in South Africa that is to be.
Uf that his dreams have been undoubtedly large, l'liey look more account oi
the Dutch and Aink.unlcr leehng than did official p;i:los. piiy in Dow . ig
street. It is conceivable, the ciorc that the man who will be held historical.y
to a prune responsibility tor the Boer war might have become a sort of chant
pion ui the Boers had - < been given him. i'iiet, however, is vain specu-
lation now.
Rhodes does not fairly represent the British nation but he did exemplity
accurately the spirit in which it hoped to win iis war with the lransvaal. Like-
hint it was overweening!) confident oi the power of money. In similar man-
Bit it was not so unscrupulus about the means, provided the end seemed good.

So there was the initial i>lun..cr in thinking gold was invincible. A -econu

him. he knew that the needed money would llow obediently to his support.
Being dead his name is still a magnet to draw ample funds to the Gordon col-
lege in Khartum. Which oi the twain will history say be-t carricd out his
ideas- -Charles Gordon with no property but the white flower of a blameless
life, or the mill onaii*£ Cecil Rhodes. It seems now that South Africa will
prove to be the latter's grave in more senses than one. Bi-mark went so far
at one time as to it would prove the grave of the Briti-It empire. He is
reported with his aTtouishing prophetic strain to have predicted the English
war n ihe Transvaal and to have held that "England would there bleed to
death." The British Empire, after three years in South Africa, will never be
the same thing it was before. For better or for worse it will be radically
changed. 1 hose who dream imperial dreams for it picture it as emerging
from the war wyili a great army fed either by conscription or by crushing
taxation, with the colonies linked to il in a vast league for commerce or for
war, with social and political progress checked, and with tiie talents and
strength oi its sons more and more poured into the arts of war. Those who
think oi England as the strong mother oi a lion line will hope that she may
)et learn a better lesson iroin their de ,r -chool oi experience in South Africa;
that si.e may see how justice and freedom and magnanimity outweight all the
gold that was e\er ni.ned, and recognize in the indomitible soul in its reacn
lor liberty her own spirit, her own love for liberty.
There are three Boer Generals who have done much in their cause. They
are the antithesis of the idea of Cecil Rliode-. They are B >tha, DeWet, and
Delarey. Eirm, implacable, iruel in their hates as ever patriot was cruel, they
startd for that winch their p< oplc believe right. They have the cause thai
stands against the wealth on the other side. They and such as they are have
been the cause ot the continued lailure of a mighty nation to conquer a hand-
nil of men cv« n al the fearful c<>st tiiat has been invested in the attempt.

MR. BRYAN SAYS THINGS
ABOUT HIS Ol.D FRIEND CLEVELAND
Colonel William Jennings Bryan has taken an opportunity to say some
mean things about former l'rc -ident Grover Cleveland. The reason for the
things was lound in a letter that Mr. Cleveland wro e to a Mississippi news
paper man referring to a belief he has that the time if iast approaching when
the democratic party will "shake off the dreadful dreams that have a.\ t< I
and fight again as of old the glorious battles of pure democracy."
Of course it was unkind of Mr. Cleveland to refer to the Bryan and popu-
list craze as a horriable dream, and such a remark can not he expected to
please the orator of the Platie, who has two times led the democratic hosts to
their accustomed ignoble ^etcat. i he last its 1 C olonel ilryan ■. ( onifnon
came back at Mr. Cleveland by saying that 'the Sage of Princeton is as usual
long on language and short on lucidity. To understand what he considered
"dreadful dreams" and what he regards as "pure democracy" we must reca.l
his last administration. For four years lie stood between the people and re-
lorin; for four years lie made the White house the rendezvous of cunning and
crafty representatives of predatory wealth; for four years the corporations
and syndicates controlled his administration and forced him to veto demo-
cratic measures and sign republican measures. He refused to give his sanction
to the most important measure supported by the democrats and bent till hi
energies toward securing legislation desired by the republicans, even when h
knew that he would divide his party by doing so.
"He loaded tariff rei -mi down wiih the blame that should have been borne
by the gold standard, and not only did nothing for the country himself, but lef'
a record that has hung like a millstone about the neck of the party ever smcc
It is to this kind oi "pure democracy that he invites the party to return.
The position of Mr. Bryan is a peculiar one He opposed to Hill
Cleveland and Gorman. These ate the reprc-c natives <>t the old line of the
democracy that has but recently been the reVipient of an olive branch from the
Mississippi legislature—a section ot the country that has been long faithful to
the teachings oi Bryan. There is doubt it the people oi :!; West and Sou
will stand in that solid phalanx of hero worshiping idolators about the slim
oi Bryan that has heretofore been noticed ever since that great Chicago
speech.
The democrats of the East can hardly hope, however, to hold the vote

Every once in a while an actor arises
to denounce the persons who attach a
stigma of immorality to the stage, it
is generally done eloquently but not al-
ways convincingly, because there arc
so many in the profession like Lionel
Lawrence manager of a New York
theatre. Mr. Lawrence is a marrying
man. He has about as able an idea o
ihe sac-redness and permanency of the
married state as a brindle dog. He is
again in the divorce court after seven
months oi ferried lite. He has It,id

and he is young yet. It is related lliat
he was wedded once .14.1 "sort of joke
and several times on^lie impulse. In

marry and he did. Mr. Lionel Law-
