| stance, they will approach a man who
is supposed to be opposed to the pav-
I ing of a certain street and state that
he is the only man of any consequence
j that is standing out and that, other
properly owners are very desirous of
having the paving done, and that,
while, of course, it is not necessary to
have this or that individual's signa-
ture, it is desired for the purpose of
making a unanimous request thai the
| paving he done. This, has. in many
, instances, resulted in the procuring of
i he signature of a certain individual
and it has been learned that the con-
tention that tho individual referred to
was tho only one averse to paving and
ihat all other signatures had been
'obtained were, as a matter of fact,
false, and made for the purpose of in- ,
| fluencing the property owner. It is
claimed that* in this and other ques-
tionable ways many signatures have
been secured that would not havo been
had the true statement of facts been
given to the property holders An-
other complaint is that the circulators
of petitions in their estimate of the
cost of paving have simply given the
cost of the paving proper, as the total
expense, when, as n matter of fact,
this is but a small portion of the real
expense of paving. They do not figure
the expense of extensions, curbing,
grading, man holes. In-take pipes, etc .
which in reality is the most expensive
part of the paving proposition. It is
with paving as in many other things,
the "trimmings" are tho most expen-
sive.
The Post is unalterably in favor of
improvements of every character thai
it is possible to inaugurate when such
improvements can be made without (
becoming a burden or embarrassment
to the property owners or city. Wo
believe that paving of our streets is
essential and desirable, but in this, as |
in all other things, there Is a limit
and to exceed this limit creates a
burden that becomes embarassing.
We believe that, petitions for paving
and improvements in any locality
should Ih circulated by people who are
personally interested in that certain
locality, and that if a majority of the
property owners, upon their own mo-
tion and without undue influence or \
deceptive representations decide that j
they Want their street paved, they
should have it done. But to force the
people owning property, along any i
street, against their will to become
interest paying debtors is not a well i
taken or an American business propo-
sition, and while pavement improve
ments are desirable property rights
and property interests are more d<
sirable. Let it not be said that in our
extreme anxiety to beautify our city
that unfair or illegitimate methods
are employed. Let. every property j
owner thoroughly understand what '
the expense is going to be and what
the exact situation is rather than at-
tempt to obtain his signature to a
petition by false or underhanded meth- i
ods. The property owner has to pay
the bill and he is entitled to the fullest |
information to the minutest detail in
relation to the expense of, as well as
the benefits to accrue from any lm
provement proposition. Then if the
property owner is satisfied, well and
good. But the city cannot afford to
resort* to anything but methods that
will bear the closest investigation in 1
its attempt to Influence the actions of
any individual. Let every transaction
of this character be conducted with
the utmost openness and then there
can bo no foundation for fault-finding
or dissatisfaction.

THE WHITEWASHING OF SENA
TOR BAILEY.
The sins of United States Senator
Joseph W. Bailey, of Texas, are fast
finding him out. He has been running
with the hare and hunting with the
hounds so long that it looked as though
he had discovered the art of fooling all
the people all the time. The prectpiate
trend of events at Washington th«'
past session of congress discloses the
real duplicity of the Texas senatoi.
There are no words to describe the
political mountebank who will support
a popular measure in a legislative
body and then secretly plan to amend
that measure so that the amendment
will nullify the law when It should
become operative. And yet the men
who can work this deception are the
ones who are electetl to office by the
special interests and kept in office
until they die of old age. These are
the men who win great fortunes while
serving the people and then laugh at
public opinion for they have made
powerful friends in their days of
plundering. While attempting to ride
both horses at the same time Sena-
tor Bailey forgot some of his cunning.
The newspaper correspondents saw his
double dealing and a few of them
made use of the information for their
papers. Senator Halley calmly began
to hire hack writers to formulate ful-
some encomiums of himself which are
printed and paid for in such pupers as
the St. Louis Republic. If the people
of Texas stand for the bungling nlero-
mancy of the fat juggler from (ialnes-
ville they are certainly degenerating,
for Texas has a reputation for doing
things that any other state might
envy* it is Halley of Texas who has
stood like an auctioneer selling to the
highest bidder the most sacred inter-
ests of the people of Indian Territory.
David (iraham Phillips in his "Treason
of the Senate," says: " The Interests'
have been for twenty years Indus-
triously absorbing the vast natural re-
sources of Indian Territory, preparing

WHY PURITAS CURES
Many persons labor under the delusion that to have
curative power water must have something in it or in
other words be a "mineral" water. They do not realize
that chief value of water in the system lies in its cleansing
power; that the purer the water is the greater will be its
cleansing, curative and health-sustaining qualities. Think
for a moment of the futility of trying to keep the system
clean with a water that you can't wash your hair with.
Try the experiment of washing your hands with hard wa-
ter without the addition of soap or any softening agent,
and you will begin to realize what a job your digestive
and eliminating organs have when you give them nothing
but hard water to work with. Then again, the mineral
elements contained in all the so-called "natural" waters
in and around Oklahoma City are, to many persons, posi-
tively poisonous. They cause bloating and fermentation
in the stomach; ruin the digestion and destroy the appe-
tite. They break down the kidneys and inflame the blad-
der. They choke the circulation, destroy the healthful
glow of the skin, enfeeble the system's resisting power
and render the patient susceptible to every passing con-
tagion. If, therefore, you are not perfectly well, the
chances are that the mineral elements in your drinking
water have played a prominent part in causing your ill-
ness, and it would be the part of wisdom to phone 792 or
call at the Puritas company's plant at 28 West Fourth St.
and arrange to give Puritas a trial. If the results from
its liberal use are not entirely satisfactory just tell us so
and we will give your money back. Puritas is the purest
water in the world and will do more to restore and main-
tain health than any other agent. Phone 792 or call at
28 W. Fourth St.
