$45,000 FOR WATERWORKS
SYSTEM.
The city council did the proper
thing last Thursday night, when it
adopted an ordinance, authorizing
the mayor to call a special election
to vote on a waterworks system, jo
cost $45,000, for the city of Ld-
mond. There is hardly a town in
Oklahoma of 1,000 inhabitants
which does not boast of waterworks
and there is no reason why Edmond
should not grasp this opportunity
and make a beginning to provide
the people here with modern im-
provements, such as they require
and such as tlicy must have if they
expect Edmond to amount to any-
thing in the new state.
lieports from Guthrie arc to the
effect that tins legislature will
make an appropriation for a new
normal school building here. This,
in connection with the interurban
and modern improvements, means a
city of 5,000 inside of five years.
However, to secure these advantages
Edmond people must awake to the
situation and grasp the things now
within our reach. Let all work for
a greater Edmond and there will be
no doubt as to the outcome. The
waterworks system is the first step
toward progress. Others will fol-
low in the natural course of events.

The only oppositon to Taft in
Oklahoma comes from a few men
from northern and eastern stales
who prefer some candidate from
their native state, and from some
disgruntled candidates for federal
office. Outside of these individuals
Oklahoma is for Taft. The anti-
Taft followers forms such a small
minority that the should not have
much influence in selecting dele-
gates to the republican national
convention.
SHOULD INSTRUCT FOR
TAFT.
The republican state convention,
to be held in Oklahoma City, March
11, should adopt Tinging resolu-
tions, instructing the delegats from
Oklahoma, to support Secretary
Taft for the presidency. There is
no question but the people of Okla-
homa are for Taft, overwhelmingly
go. Nine-tenths of the republicans
favor the nomination of the war
secretary. This being true, why not
show that preference in a substantial
way? Furthermore, there is but
little question as to result of the
Chicago convention. Taft will be
nominated and will be elected ancl
Oklahoma shqjild do its share in
placing Secretary Taft in the presi-
COMMENDS SUN EDITORIAL.
Chicago, 111., Feb. 18., 1008.—Mr.
A. D. Dailey: Dear Sir—Your edi-
torial in the Sun of February 13,
entitled "Railways Playing Losing
Game," has the right ring to it. It
is quite evident you are not bribed
with a pass. The attempt of the
railroad companies very probably,
combined with other large corpora-
tions, to overthrow government of
the people, by bribing every offi-
cial, including the judges, from
president down to town supervisor;
also including the editors of the
country press, is very little short of
treason. I am aware of the fact
there is some opposition to govern-
ment ownership, probably some, but
much less fo government control.
How, they ask, would you like
to have the government interfere
with your business. Suppose it sets
a price on your corn and oats? Is
that any worse than fixing the fare
at two cents per mile?
My dear sir, you overlook the
fact that 1 have very little to say
in regard to the price of my corn
and oats or any other farm product;
our price is governed by the divine
law of competition, not only the
competition of all the farmers of
the United States, but the competi-
tion of all the farmers of the world,
fixes the price of all the leading or
principal farm products. Likewise
the merchants, even of.Edmond,
must do business under this law,
They meet the competition of each
other, of Oklahoma City, and the
mail order houses of the large cities,
even to Chicago.
You may call this law of compe-
tition a divine law or a natural law.
but the fact remains it is the gov-
ernment that controls the greed of
man, with the same unvarying cer-
tainty that the law of attraction of
gravitation, discovered by Newton,
acts upon bodies.
I maintain that any business,
public utility or service, that can-
not be carried on or performed un-
der the law of competition, shoulc
be performed by the government.
A railroad is necessarily a monop
oly, the chief object of the man-
agers is to prevent competition and
do as they please, as well as charge
what they please. They do not
want to submit to the law of com-
petition or to government control.
I cannot conceive how it would be
easier or be'tter to control the act-
ions of the so-called railroad mag-
nates, than it would to buy the rail-
roads and manage them without
their interference.
Very respectfully yours,
C. G. McDOUGALL

rangement, malnutrition, nervous-
