REPUBLICANS I LEASE EXPLAIN!
It's the water wagon now.
V* # ^
The little brown jug Is again very popular.

You save a cent now every mile you ride, but you save
two cents by staying at home

A two-cent railroad fare the day statehood arrived,
Blessings are coming in bunches to the Oklahoma people.
* * >#>
With statehood and a two cent railroad fare already
here, It looks like OKlahotna will have some trimmings for
the Thanksgiving turkey.
* *
Here s where we get even with the Dominie, e
must now dig up another half cent a mile to ride on the
railroad while we go one cent choaper

Several prominent Edmond republicans, we are in
(ortned, advocate an anti-Hunter convention and urge that
Rough Rider Hunter attend In person.
^ * *
With a constitution made to his liking, and a legisla-
ture overwhelmingly democratic, Governor Haskell should
have no difficulty in giving the people of the new state a
good administration,

TWO ClJMttllNICATIONS
The democrats may be pardoned If they relieve tn .
somberress of the present financial situation by a few jokes
at the expense of the republican leaders. They have b-en
told so often by the curbstone republican politicians that
panics only come when the democrats are In power—that
republican administrations alweys Insure good times—that
they must be allowed to smile a little at the very clear and
unanswerable proof of the inability of the republican leaders
to insure against a panic. Here we are in the full enjoy-*
ment of a high tariff which taxes the whole country for the
benefit of a few manufacturers, and yet we are not happyt
We have the gold standard, whloh we were told was a
panacea and sure preventative for all kinds of financial
disturbances, and yet we are disturbed. We^ have the re-
publicans in power In the nation and in a majority of the
states, and yet business Is fled up. We were told ttia.
oonfidence was all that was necessary and tnat republican
victories always gave confidence, and here we are with our
confidence disturbed. What does it mean? Can the re-
publican party be fallible after all? Is it possible that re-
publican leaders may make mistakes? Can it be that re-
publican times are not alway- gxd times? The republi-
cans have claimed credit for sunshine and shower, for
favorable seasons and for bountiful crops Upon whom will
they throw the responsibility now if farmers have to haul
their wheat back home because no one was willing to take
It. In one town the democrats recalled the cartwheel dol
lars that some of the local financiers used lor an argument
against silver in 1896, and begged the privilege of borrow-
ing those dollars in the absence of ordinary currency. .
Democrats can do their duty as citizens b> counselling
courage and pat'ence and by suggesting remedies that will
furnish protection for the future, and yet, they can enjoy
the fact that the present panic has exploded one of the
most potent arguments that the republicans have ever
employed, namely- that the republican administration in
sures good times and that a democratic administration i
necessarily a breeder of panics. The argument was not
only contradicted by history but was so absurd that it
ought not to have deceived anyone, but it has dece;ved
many. Exit this choice bit of buncombe that has done
service in so many campaigns!

♦NOAH'S ARK«>
THE PLACE FOR BARGAINS
The idea seems to be prevalent that the average edi
tor either wears a coat of mall or has a hide as thick as
that of a Rhlnocerous and is theref ore Invulnerable to the
shafts aimed at him. But such is not the case and a word
kindly spoken, whether It be of commendation or encour-
agement strikes a responsive chord, and the knife thruit o'
the harsh word strikes deep, even tho' th ; wound may no1
be apparent. However, the editors have long since learned
to consider the source and pursue their town course as best
they may. The contrast In the two following communica-
tions Is so striking that we print them for the benefit of our
readers The names are purposely witheld. but the com
munications are genuine.
Mcberly, Mo., Nov. 15,

1 send you the $1 00

Edmond, Okla., Nov 9.

Fx Governor Frantz' action in refusing to take part in
the inaugural ceremonies last Saturday has met With
universal condemnation by the republicans who had thought
much better of him. Bu what could you expect from a
man whose only recommendation for Governor was the fact
that he was a Rough Rider? With absolutely no qualifi-
cations for the office and wholly lacking in ability to grace
fully meet defeat, the ex Governor was a disappointment to
his friends.

"The most wonderful development in connection with
the late "panic" which has Come to. our notice is the
strange case in Ponca City, where the editor of the Courier
was presented with a $5 hat by a leading banker for his
kindly editorial utterances in behalf of the local banking in-
stitutions. We have had this strange tale investigated and
find it absolutely correct,'1—Oitlahoman. Our congratula-
tions to Dad Headly; but how did you work It Dad ?
* ^ ^
The crowd at the inauguration called lustily for "Kate
Bernard," but for some reason the master of ceremonies
die not give Miss Bernard a chance. Or perhaps she re-
fused to talk.—Oklahoman. What I Kate Bernard refuse
to talk ? NEVER.
