ALL CITIZENS CAN AFFORD TO BE FOR
ACTION ADVANCEMENT, PR03PERITY
The coining year is proDabl.v fraught vviHi more re
.ponsibility than all the years in the existence of
CJ utlirie.
There are great things to he accomplished.
; The position of mayor and alderman will be more
trying than they have been in the past.
The city has reached a point where it will not do
to take a backward step.
1 The future holds for the citizens and their munici-
pal representatives a gigantic task.
For this reason Guthrie should have a mayor and
council whose record for activity and push is not
lacking.
i No city, perhaps, ever liatl in its mayoralty chair
-•O-jJ® a man who did more, ami all of a lasting, substan-
tial nature, than did (iov. Barnes during his two
terms of office as mayor of tluthrie.
On the other hand, no city, perhaps, ever bail a
mayor who did less for the city and its interests
than has Mayor Duke.
The citiy.eiiH running on the ticket with (iov.
Barnes are all town builders and with tlie ticket
elected from top to bottom as it will be.
Guthrie will go forward by leaps and jumps;
Instead of—
The snail pace she has been going, so far as help
from the city administration counts.
Of course (iuthrie is "going some" now; she
always has; but it isu'l going at this time through
any help or encouragement offered through the
work of the city administration.
City improvements and Ihe city's necessities arc
iu the main at a standstill.
Private and co-operative enterprises continue to
make great outlays in the city—
Stagnant as has been the work of the city proper.
This being the condition—
What may not Guthrie do with a real, live booster
in the mayoralty chair and a council of conservative
town builders' to back him in his endeavors to not
only—
Make of Guthrie the g.eat city she is destined to
existence.
When it comes to opening a heart, flattery is
superior to dynamite.
Some men can not hold a job because they are
always wanting a better one.
Next .Monday will prove the assertion that the
eighteen carot fools are not all dead.
The love of money may be the root of evil, but
mm root for the almighty dollar just the same.
Tl'O man who in his work tliuiKs alone of the
■alary he is drawing, can not do justiie to his work
or liinise!.'.
But at the same time keeping in view the pecuni-
ry interests of all.
With this condition we ask, what may not Guthrie
do in way of advancement?
Study this phase of the question, citizens of
(iuthrie. and he ready to east your vote next Tues-
day for—
Every li me ought to he made so much like heaven
that the c'.'ililmi will not t^iink of heaven as being
so far awai.
So miiiiin<• i; lit1' to me their heads in their daily
work, hence many blun lers follow their pathway
ti rough life.
A m u has to be mighty amiable to laugh at a
jv ke'he was going to get <■ >V himself when the
chance came.
There is a class cf men who are liked for the
enemies they have made. (Iov. ('• M. Hurnes is that
kind of a man.
A PARALLEL POLITICAL ROBBERY TO
THAT BY THE OKLAHOMA DELEGATES.
Wc may look for it to break loose in old
Kentucky again. The state court of last resort
has declared unconstitutional the legislative
gerrymander of 1906 and the decision bodes 110
good to the eggs in (iovcrifor Beckham's polit-
ical basket. The apportionment was not a
steal, but a robbery. There was no hypocrisy
about it. All was open and above board. One
little old county with a population of less'tban
8,000, and a reliable di •moeratic majority was
allowed a representative in the legislature.
Less than 10O miles distant from that county
three other counties with an aggregate popula-
tion of .>4.0110 casting an overwhelmingly repub-
lican majority, were combined in a district with
a single representative in the legislature. Of
course nobody with any political, moral, or in-
tellectual honesty could defend such barefaced
rascality as that. Washington I'ost.

Poncn City Courier —All along the
democratic newspaper* and orators have
been telling us that McGuire didn't
amount to anything in congress. When
eived an appropriation of $100,QOQ
for statehood expenses, more than twice
us much as any territory ever received
before, they said nothing; bu when "on-
gress refused to aoppropriate $130,OW
more they suv> that ..icGulre, who. ac-
ording to their own (IMlmony, has no
Influence in congress, defeated the appro-
ion. Such opposition as that Is hard-
ly calculated to Injure McGuire In the
cctlmatiori of sensible people.
El Reno Republican—"The advocates of

onvention are stm busily engoged in
mnipulatlng legislation to the end that
omtitution maoy be Rejected by '.ne
peofflP and their purpose achieved," said
prominent democrat here today, lie
discussed the work of tlmt spectacular
body during the past few days and gave
It out as his unbiased opinion that lue
democratic brand of leglsla/.on would
rejected at the polls because of the many
features which are In direct conflict with
the constitution of the United States
and common sense. Murray, one of the
principal advocates o f the .Sequoyah
movement Is bending every effort to th's
end. aided and abetted by "Railroad"
Haskell of Muskogee, along with a few
others of the rantankerous brand of
democrats. The Impreralon is rapidly
growing that the constitution Is doomed
to defeat, one of the chief reasons oe-
ing that it is tuotily admitted that such
will be the case by those who are in
direct charge of the uffairs of the con-
vention.
Alva Courier- lender ti e present gerry-
mander ol legislative districts a* made
by the constitutional convention it is
practically assured that the democrats of
Indian Territory will control the first
legislature. This means that the 'list
legislature will further gerrymander the
<11 triots and they will also control the
second legislature, and so on and in-
finitum. This means for the people of
Oklahoma that they will never be able t«>
amend the constitution If they desire
to do so. In other words don't be de-
ceived. Don't think that we can accept
this copstitution and if It i>.'t *«a t is fac-
tor j* that- we can amend it This .sa't
true. Constitutions a^e the most diffi-
cult thing to change 01 amend known
to our system of government. I'nder*
stand once for all, if we adopt this con-
stitution that this Is the constitution that
we will live under for the next genera-
tion or longer. Don't be deceived.

document will be good for election pur-
poses, it will be submitted about a« It

as to try to catch ag many votes .is
pos lble. The 'instrument has been
placed on probation until the 16th of
April when the convention will recon-
vene and compare notes on the political
phase of the situation. The constitution
as it now stands is a feeler of the politi-
cal pulse The instrument covers nearly
seven pages of a .'even column paper.
It contains some good things and many
tilings which should not be there. Much
of the material which falls within t' c
province of a constitution is borrowed
from other state constitutions and rome
is borrowed from the organic act hf
Oklahoma Territory. The statutes of
Texas have been copiously stamped upon
the Instrument wnile features of the con-
stitution of that state have been liberal-
ly copied. In tl e main, however, the -n-
>'trument is largely composed of mat-
ter that belongs properly to state leg
lation and has no place in a constitution
The entire material in the instrument
which belongs properly to a constitution
could, if written in plain .clear Kngllsh,
be printed on two pages of a seven-col-
umn paper instead of occupying seven
pages. The entire seven pages of matter

ITS UP TO THE VOTERS
From the Luther Register.
The Reei ter lias had llfile to nay
regarding tne work of the constitutional
convention, hoping that the bet'f r sense
of the delegates would lie asserted and
that a foundation for state government
fa'r to all interests would be presented
for ratification by the people. But now
that the work is finished it is not out
of place to discuss Its provisions, and
It is up to the electorate to decide whetli-
Oklahoma will be better worse in
case of its adoption. •
We all want statehood- have been
working, begging and crying for ii for
years. But if the article Is hot and
will burn, we had better try to get
along as we are. One thing seems t' *r-
taln—the adoption of the mass of leg-
islation called by courtesy a constitu-^
tlon will stop railroad building in okla-
homa for several ..ears. Do we want to
do that? Have we enough railroads in
the state? The railroads uo not object
to proper control but do object to in-
justice. Some with other large enter-
prises that require much capital; fac-
tories will not operate where the laws
are antagonistic. Before making up your
mind how to vote read the constitution
carefully and see whether it Is fair to
corporate Interests and also to the com-
mon people.
The legislative apportionment Is ex-
tremely unfair and is designed to give
the democratic party perpetual control
of the new state. a democratic votoY
in Greer county has about seven tiin<'*
the power over legislation that a repub-
lican voter has in Kingfisher or Okla-
homa county. Do the people consider it
wise to give either party so much ad-
vantage?
The democratic party, as represented
in the convention, ha* shown a reckless
disregard for public expenditures, have
run the state In debt already aoout
one hundred and forty thousand dollars,
•which the taxpayers of Oklahoma* Ter-
ritory will have tu pa> if that con-
stitution Is iidopted for Indian Territory
has a very small percentage of taxable
property. Do not tninK tor a minute
that tliH first legislature will refuse to
pay the deficit. Owing to the legislative
apportionment, which gives democratic
counties a much larger representation
than republic an counties, population con-
sidered. the first legislature will be >v-
erwhelmingly democratic, and it will pay
the deficit incurred by the democratic
constitution "mangier*, doll/tr for dollar,
and every owner of taxable properly will
feel It keenly when tax time comes.
Statehood is desirable, but many de-
sirable things come too high, if the
voters of Oklahoma think the price .they
will have to pay for statehood is too
great, they have a chance to turn it
down and try again.
BITING GPANITE
From th< x. V. World.
The president's secretary is said to be
sending out the following stereotyped
reply to all letters urging Mr. Roose-
velt to accept a renominatlon:
White House. .
My dear sir: 1 our favor of /lie- — in-
stant has been receive*:, and the presi-
dent thanks you for writing. While he
appreciates your kindly sentiment, he
has nothing to add to bis statement is-
sued on the night of his eb"tion, l'K'J.
Very truly yours.
WILLIAM LOniJ. Jr.,
Secretary to tiie President.
Mr. Roosevelt may iiave nothing to
add to hi* statement, but the voters of
the country seem to have a great d ti
to ndu. The latest legislature to be
polled on the tlve question is that of Mas-
sachusetts. and the vote of the repub-
lican members as reported T>y the Spring-
field I'nlon. was: Roosevelt. US; 1 r.ine.
37.; Taft. 11; Root, 7; Fairbanks, Hughes
and Guild, 1 each. Massachusetts is no
less enthusiastic than the western states
in hailing Theodore Roosevelt as her
favorite «on. Where is it going to
end?
For months now the great financial in-
terests have been exer.ing .til their pow-
er to discredit Mr. Roo e.elt. The\ have
pictured him as the assassin of prosper-
ity and a menace to the Institutions of
me country, ^..e more bitterly they
assail him tne more popular the presi-
dent becomes, and his strength I- great-
est among the very classes that would
be the fir«t fo suffer from an ebb 'hie
I of prosperity. His hold on the masses
of the people is stronger th r. it was
when he was elected in JfWM by an un-
precedented popular majority.

evident, therefore, that when President
Roo celt, after examining into the af-
fair. discharged the soldiers, he adopt d
a mild but effectual remedy, clearly
within his ability and a remedy that
was humane and timelv. Senator For-
aker and the other fellows who hav-
been attempting to make capital out of
the race will have to sing small, for it
is evident that the mcn^^rs of - lie
Twenty-fifth infantry, in attempting to
sjueid the depredators, shared their
guilt. The stern military code of form-
er years would have imprisoned tiie
whole reciment. For offerees far less
than this, soldiers have been sent to
the Dry Tortugas. there to expiate their
offense under the burning tropical sun.
President Roosevelt mercifully softened
this iron code and returned the soldiers
to civil life. It was a remedy adopted
long :tgo by Caesar, who. when one of
his legion® refused to follow him. ad-
dressed them as "Qulrites" that Is to
say as citizens, and only when they
had repented and with tears and- pro-
testations begged him to take them back,
did be relent and take them again i'-to
favor. The more the affair is investigat-
ed, the more does it rebound to the cred-
it of the president. hi course was
manly, sensible, n line with military
teaching, and restored the discipline
which had been s«i badly broken.
I can forgive much in that fellow Tnn*
tal who would rather make m 11 swear
than weep; who would r;\ther bave the
of the whole world n the con-
tempt of his wife -wao.wpuld rather eiU
anger to the eyes of a king than i«sar
to the face of a child."
