There are so many people in
Oklahoma who could not vole

the presidency, nnd want .to, it
would not bn right for Teddy to

One repot t for the people of Ok-
lahoma to look out for it Nov. 10
and another says that the anti-
statehood lobby at Washington
is strong enough to hold the
matter up indefinitely. You can
take your choice. Later—Presi-
dent Roosevelt will make Okla
homa state on the 10th.
The only thing we are sur-
prised at is that the Roosevelt
hunting party did not eat thai
wild cat a Ion ; with the rest ot
the game. The Roosevelt idea
is to alwaj s make a clean sweep
Here is a swindle you want t<
watch for: A man had SlOOt
worth of cattle And was offerei
S1000 in notes for them, with the
understanding that tho cattle
man should take the notes to thi
bank and find out if they wert
good before tho cattle was takei
away. The prospective buyei
indorsed the notes over to tin
ownorof the cattle. The bank
pronounced the notes worthless.
When the notes were returnei
to the owner he had tho catth
man indorse them back to him.
With this indorsement on then
the notes were made good am
were sold and afterward paid bj
the owner of the cattle.

Chao. Crum of Illinois has

of tho paper.
It won't hurl Luther to follow
this advice given by an ex
change: Clean out the alleys,
remove the trash from vacant
lota and fill every depression
where storm water stands. This
is essential to the preservation of
the good health of the people,
rhfse things should be attended
'o immedi atelv.

Tho fellow who made th.

It will take a mighty keen ob-
server to notice tho changr
when statehood does take effect,
as we have been getting alonp
so nicely as a territory.
The mail order houses have
gained a joint, by the postmast-
er general recommending tha<
congress pass a law establishing
a parcel post. Although h
would make the law so that ii
would cost the mail order housef
l2o a.pound to send packages t<
their customers from the city,
while the smaller towns—the dis.
tributin'.' offices of the rum
rouieo could send a .pound for
five cents. Nevertheless thif
will be a great benefit to the mail
order people and increase theii
trade as it will decrease that of
the Country merchant.
Oklahoma has advanced so far

The Dallas News tells a book |
full of truths in the following i
short paragraph: Tho dema-
gogne who has done all he can
to drive out capital, destroy con-
fidence, promote panic, raise the
interest rate and bring down tho
price of farm products is tho
very first man te charge it all up
to speculators There are some
sealy speculators and gamblers
m the bottom of it. There is no
doubt about that. Bet, standing'
with them, are the wild specula-
tors in a radical and headless
politics. The demagogue was
the v/orld's first panic-maker."
KILL THE WEEVILS
The Oklahoma City Times-
Journal suggests that the cotton
'.rowers of the state organize to
fight the spread of the cotton
weevils, and to formulate proper
laws for aiding farmers in check-
ing the advance of the destruct-
ive insects.
This is a timely suggest'on
and should be given more than
passing attention.
This destructive insect, com-
monly known as the boll weevil,
has appeared upon Oklahoma
soil and may treat our crops as
it has treated the cotton crops of
T'>xas.
It has spre5d and crossed the
entire state of Texas, entering
from Mexico.
It has adapted iieelf to the
variety of climate in that state,
and will, of cours.% thrive in the
even tempered climate of Okla-
homa.
A natural enemy of tho boil
weevil will appear somo day, but
is yet nothing but tho birds,
which are being so ruthlessly
slaughtered, has made any in-
roads into the prolific growth of
tho destructive insect.
It has been shown that by-
choosing early varieties and
burning all the stalks and other
materials in the fields in which
the insects could pass tho winter
cotton can be produced in spite
of the insects.
Every field in the state in
which weevils are found should
be thus treated this winter and
the legislature should pass laws
compelling the observance of all
necessary preoations.
If it be found necessary to
prevent the planting of cotton to
destroy tho insects in certain
sections of the state, some officer
or commission shjuld be given
full power to enforee such a reg-
ulation.
The Kansas City Journal
doubts the proposition of making
Washington a dry town, and ex-
plains that many of the debates
in congress are already too dry
to read without a stimulent.—Ex.

There is something pitifully
cowardly in tho plans now being
made by the democrats to dis-
franchise the negroes of the
state. _ Conferences are being
held already to discuss plans for
lisfranchising the negroes and
twenty different measures will bo
introduced within the first week
after the legislature meets, with
this one thing in view.
This step is to be takon, not
because there is danger of negro
domination, because the negroas
in the state form a very small
part of the population, but for
ihe solo reason that most of the
negroes vote the republican
ticket! Tho democrats have
won a victory which shows Ok-
lahoma to be as overwhelmingly
democratic as Kansas is republi-
can, but the democrats here are
not satisfied. They arc deter-
mined by smart practice and by
a violation of tho spirit of tho
enabling act to still further re-
duce tho voto of tho republicans.
Suppose tho republicans of Kan-
sas should, after carrying ,he
state by such a majority as often
obtained there, propose and pass
arbitrary regulations which
would reduce the democratic
vote still further what would the
world say of the procedures? .
. The republicans of Oklahoma,
with the aid of the negro votes,
have no show, then what danger
of negro domination is there
when the negro vote is but a
small part of the republican vote?
No sane democrat can claim that
such a move is demanded by
fear that negroes may be given
the office?. That proposition is
simply abaured. The move is
directed not against negroes,
but against white republicans.
This is a charge of mighty
narrow politics, but every move
to abridge the right to vote which
will be introduced into tho legis-
lature will be against the white
republicans because all know
the colored republicans do not
expect to run tho government.
—Exchange.
Scientists now claim that in
tho cane of snake bite whiskey
does more harm than good.
This news may be designed to
ease the minds of the people liv-
ing in prohibition states but we
opino that tho snake will b- a
very useful thing, in name at
least, in Oklahoma in the future.

The Muskogee Phoenir is one
of the first city newspap. ra to
increase tho price of its subscrip-
tion beoauee of the rise in price
of white paper. All will have to
come to it sooner or later il' the
price continues to go up.—Ex.
A Russian girl carried 13 lbs.
of dyhimite with her and also a
revolver, but succeeded in only
killing one man.
