\Ve want you to become better acquaint-
ed with our store, our method of doiug
business and the quality of our goods.

any store in Enid and we think you will
agree with us after giving us a trial.

is that Niblack was afraid his friends
at Guthrie would tear up his house
while he was away on his trip, and de-
sired to be at home to protect his fur-

made.
Niblack is one of the brilliant pen
pushers of the southwest. He is also
a handsome mark and much beloved
of the ladies, white aud black. He is
being talked of as a democratic con-
gressional possiblity in the Greer

that she is a splendid lady, well en-

we may regret tier taste and judg-
ment in her selection, yet we are
compelled to admire her nerve, for
indeed it is a nervy woman who will
tackle such a crustacean monster as
Niblack—one who has been so long
out of wedlock as to be crabbed and
unbearable. However, the courts of-
fer ample redress and if she can't get
along with him she can secure a di-
vorce.
Here's to Niblack and his bride!

or of the first nomination will go to

Perkins Journal:—
Ttie Statehood bill is now a law.
The doubtful Thomases have said,
"We will not get statehood." But
the ' Boosters," the men who do
things, have been more optimistic and
have help up the hands of Delegate
McGuire in his noble tight for our pol-
itical freedom. In this tight with
thousands of obstacles to overcome
McGuire has proven himself to be a
leader of men. The boosters have
fought nobly but McGuire have excell-
ed them all. We takeoff our hat to
Bird McGuire and say "Well done
thou good and faithful servants."

scientists don't know what they're

pute de question wid her—ef you

Enid Eagle, Jan. 16, lwoti.—If any of
the many thousands of people who
heard the inaugural address of Gov- —
ernor Frantz entertained at its close
even a lingering doubt as to the abil-
ity of the new executive to handle
the job. a close scrutiny of the audi
ence failed to discover it. All were
most agreeably surprised. Frank
Frantz made good. Proof of hissolid-
ity and capability was in every look,
word and action, and in the substance
of the address itself, delivered fear-
lessly, faultlessly, powerfully but un-
ostentatiously. It was a business ad-
dress, straight fr«m the speaker to
the people whose affairs in a great
measure are entrusted to him. It was
the expression of a man who realizes ^MMMiMiMMMili MMMMMMMM
his true relation to the people, under-1
stands his responsibility, and enters
upon his duties with the firm inten-
tion of discharging them fairly, fully
and expeditiously. Frank Frantz is
and will be the governor of the people
of Oklahoma. That he will be firm
there is no question: but that he will
be considerate and conservative is
not less than true. Resolute, fearless
action, tempered with justice and
reason and fairness to all are the re.
quisites of a good governor. He stood
at the entrance of the Carnegie li-
brary, an institution of phiiantrophy,
of learning, of patriotism and of pro-
gress, whose massive pillars were en-
twined with the starry emblem of
liberty: spoke from a circle composed
of his aged mother, his cultured wife.
his happy children, his brothers, sis-
ters and many of the official family of
Oklahoma: addressed an intelligent.
prosperous people, each of whom was
directly interested in his administra-
tion. Does any one of the thousands
who listened, question that he will
properly fulfill the obligations lie en-
tered into then and there?
