The growth of the
club movement among
women has followed
closely the pyschologicai
processes. In the early
days of clubs they were
organized simply for
self-improvement and
self-culture; hut grad-
ually the members have
realized greater possibilities and have reached forth the helping hand for
those less fortunate than themselves; later, civic problems have presented
themselves and now, even uatiomd ones, and the women are taking an
active, intelligent interest in them. Such things would have been im-
possible for the majority without the earlier training of the clubs.
In the true club, ability has recognition rather than wealth. A woman
is seldom chosen as chief executive merely oil account of social position
or abundant means, but for her power of leadership. Thus there has been
a leveling of class distinctions and the woman of simple tastes and limited
means works on committees side by side with the society woman of ample
fortune.
Formerly the greater part of a woman's activity, outside of bur home,
was restricted to her own church and sometimes her daughters were even
forbidden lo associate with girls from other churches. In the club where
Protestant, Catholic and Jew work side by side the broadening etfeet is
felt and as a result a more tolerant spirit is abroad in the land.
The study club still offers opportunity for culture, while the large
lecture club has opened to women of limited means tine lectures and edu-
cational advantages which they could not otherwise afford. The college
girl just returned home finds in them a congenial outlet for her activities
and latent powers.
Thus in looking at the results of the club movement as a whole, we
see that the radius of woman's sphere is no longer limited to the constant
quantity of her home and her church, but it lias become a variable ever
approaching infinity as it< limit. To the true clubwoman nothing that
needs to be done inn " ■•>> va-
to gain her atlcnl /2~%#

Official Constitution Ready to Deliv- •
er, i •
Guthrei Okla.. Aug. 15.—The official, (
constitution '.>f the proposed state of J
Oklahoma is now ready for delivery.
The work of printing was finished by
the 1/eader Printing company of this
city two weeks ago, but the Leader
people refuse to let any copies out
until the arrival of President Murray
who was delegated the personal dir«c
tion of their distribution by the con
Btitutlonal convention, to delegates
and others. President Murray was
booked to arrive in Guthrie last
Thursday, but has been detained In
the Southwest and has failed to ar
rive so far. The people arw clamor-
ing for a look of the official constitu-
tion. Secretary Wilson has over 2,-
000 requests for the official constitu-
tion on file in his office.
The Shawnee German Association
will meet next Monday evening, Aug.
19th, at 8 o'clock in Trades Assem-
bly hall. All members are urged to
be present. C. Binder, Sec. 13-2t
WHAT THEY SAY.
Shawnee should congratulate
itself upon having such a live,
steady booster in the Daily
News of that city. That paper
devotes much valuable editor-
ial space to the great oppor-
tunities afforded and takes
care to let everybody know of
it. The merchants should be
loyal to such an organ.—Okla-

I Swear I'm Innocent."
Muskogee, I. T., Aug.
15.—'I'll
swear I'm innocent of any wrong do-
ing."
Thus spoke Henry Garl er, a drug
gist of Beggs, I. T., holding up his
hands to heaven, when "Pussyfoot"
Johnson entered his drug stone.
But Johnson was from Missouri
and had to be shown. In the drug i
store Johnson found stored away |
eight quarts of ' Suunybrook rye." |
Garber was then placed under ar-
rest. '
Johnson raided other places in
Beggs, among which was a gambling
house. On some of the paraphernalia
he found a gambling slot machine,
which he burned with the other
equipment.
"I am certainly thankful—I want
to thank you," said a large Dane
laborer to Johnson while the latter
was waiting for the train. "I lost
$100 on that machine yesterday, and
I'm certainly glad you've burned the
thing." said the man gratefully.

Baxter Whitby, of this city, who wasj
nominated for congress at a mass
meeting held at Watonga, on August
12th last, by the Colored Protective!
League, has withdrawn from the race. I
In a signed statement issued yester- j
day he declares that his nomination!
was made without his consent and1
that he is In perfect harmony with
the present organization of the party.
The following is his statement:
"My attention has been called to a
special to the Oklahoman, dated Aug-j
ust 12th, Watogna, Okla.( published j
under the caption, "Independent Tick-j
et Put Out by the Negroes." This j
article states that "The Colored Pro-
tective league of Blain county, In
mass convention here, nominated a
full county ticket; also. A. Baxter
Whitby, of Oklahoma City, for con-1
gre8s In the Second Congressional
district"
"With reference to the above, I de-
sire to state that the use of my name
in the above connection was wholly |
unauthorized by me. I desire to also!
state that I was not consulted in ret j
erence to the matter in any manner j
whatever, and therefore know abso-
lutely nothing of any such purpose or
intention of those who brought about
thi action.
"I am of the opinion that the repub-
lican party—with which I have beei
connected all my life—should be har-
monized throughout the country and
especially in Oklahoma and the In-
dian Territory. To that end, I would
not allow myself to become one of a
party established to bring about con
fusion In anyway. Individually, I
have obsolute confidence in the par-
ty as organized and believe that my
people will be given a fair deal.
"While I thank my friends for the
confidence thus shown, yet I hereby
most emphatically decline the nomin-
ation and at the same time dlscoun-
tenance any effort to draw me into
active politics, for the reason that,
as a dentist, I am too busily engaged
In my profession to give attention \o
such matters.
Very respectfully,
"A. BAXTER WHITBY,
"Dentist, |

Types of Smart Auto Apparel.
Auto garments vary in many re-
spects, but one thing peculiar to all
Is, that wraps no matter whether
short, three-quarters or full length
are comfortably full in both body and
sledves. Loose sack coats, empir^
models and combinations of these two
types characterize the up-to-date auto
wrap. Tans, browns and grays are
considered the best colors, motorists
long since having found that these do
not show the wear and t^r of the
road. Soma very smart black gar
ments are seen, but these are con-
fined principally to mourning wear.
j Some new novelties have recently
made their appearance in auto head-
w,ear. The newest of these is the
cowboy hat In both felt and Panama
It is the same hat*which the summer
girl wears for all outing occasions
It has a low, round crown and a me
dium brihi which turns or rolls up
at the left side and droops down over
the hair in the back. Sometimes It is
trimmed simply with a band of rib-
bon, again it Is swathed in a plaid
or striped ribbon scarf, and still an-
other way of trimming it is a large
ribbon rosette set on the crown at
the point where the brim rolls. This
is a trifle dressier than the other
trimmings, and though very attrac-
tive for auto wear, is not practical
for general outing. Over th?se small
hat veils, white or in the color of
the other accessories, is draped in
j the manner to giva the most comfort
and to be the most attractive. A
large touring car seen the other day
carried four youthful motorists, two
aitired in long loose coats of tan col-
ored pongee, one with white acces-
sories the other with brown, and the
other two occupants wore coats of
golden brown silk with white head-
wear, the brown of the garments
matching exactly the shade of the
leather fittings of the car.
After all, Mr. Haskell, honesty is
the best policy—political or commer-
cial.
A vote for the republican ticket in
Pott county means a reduction in
your taxes.
Judging from the McAlester "frost"
It will be a cold day for the democrats
September 17th.
So far no gold bricks have been
offered to or purchased by any repub-
lican candidate.
Are you overburdened with taxes?
Vote the republican ticket and secure
the usual reduction.
Vote the republican ticket in coun-
ty and state offices for clean govern
ment and decency in politics.
The republican county candidates
if elected to office will conduct the
affairs of the county In a dignified
conservative and businesslike man-
ner.
Mr. Voter, the republicans offer
you a list of good, clean men for the
various offices. Give them your
votes.
There is no longer any doubt about
the election of the republican state
ticket; now let us make sure of the
legislature.
The votes cast on election day will
be counted and returned In a differ-
ent manner than those of the demo-
cratic primary.
Not .1 word of even democratic crit-
icism has been or can be honestly
made against any nominee on the re-
publican ticket.
Let evey citizen look to the inter
est and advancement of Shawnee
Paving will be the main feature in
starting onward.
Mr. Haskell is very particular
about his speaking associates and the
people he speaks to—he will not be
so fastidious after Sept. 17th.
The election on the 17th of next
month is not for a state boss, but a
state servant who will know only the
best interests of the whole people.
Haskell is still making the wild-
est kind of statements, to use no
stronger term. A man who will mis-
represent to get office will misrepre-
sent when in office.
It is too late for Haskell to retire
in favor of Cruce. It would not help
the democracy anyway now for too
many democrats have decided to vote
the republican ticket.
Every day prominent democrats
from all over the two territories drop.
Into republican headquarters at Ok-
lahoma City to promise a vote for
Frantz and a square deal.
Can one democrat in ten tell who Is
running on the democratic ticket be-
sides HaskeM—and perhaps The
Gold Brick Man. It's different with
the republican ticket, where every
man has a state wide reputation.
