Jesus said, "Whatsoever ye would
that men should do to you, do ye even
so unto then,.'1 As christian charac-
ter is established through obedience
to the teachings of Christ, wuy do
not those who are aixious to be rcc-
ogniietj as christians,follow bis teach-
ings':1 Agaio he says, "Thou shalt
love thy relghbor as thvself.'' Who
does this? How ig it possible for one
to do this? But as obedtence to these
teachings is what makes christians',
how many are there in this city? In
this territory? In the world? How
many can prove that they thus obey?
Again, -"Love your enemies." What
is love? It Is to delight in with ten-
der affection. From the pope down
to the simplest class leader, bow
many are there who regard their
enemv with tender ard solli'ltous af-
fection? Again, "Take no thought
for the morrow what ye shall «>at or
what ve shall drink, or wherewithal
ye shall be clothed." Where in all
Christendom is there a preacher who
does not carefully arrange his vearly
salary, making careful provision for
his food and clothing? Again .lesus
«airt, "Sell that thou hast, and give to
the poor." How quickly the distress
of poverty would be alleviated if those
who profess to be christians woiild
obey this simple command of .Jesus.
Why do these christians pray for the
Kiogdom of Peace and prosperity
when obedience to this simple com-
mand would bring its opening dav?
Mark. I am not discussing the result
of such lavish expenditure. If chris-
tians btlieve as they profess to, that
God will keep and sustain his people,
and that obedience to the require-
ments of-Tesus constitutes Christian-
ity. why do they not obey? But is
sober fact, are there any believers in
Je us and his te'chingon earth today*

A recent arrival ip our city, which

daughter of Rev. Stafford, pastor of

completed her education at a college

Last evening the Misses Noonan, of

table was banked with (lowers around
which wer-> grouped potted palms and
other plants. After the banquet
Mr. John Carter, on behalf of the
guests of the Angelo, presented Mr.
and Mrs. Scott with a beautiful mar-

Populist County Convention
| The populists of Oklahoma couBty
met In annual convention yesteiday
In the Salvation Army tent on Broad-
| way. It w^js a most harmonious
1 meeting throughout, aud the 133 dele-
gates were as fine looking a body of
men as anyone could desire to see.
While awaiting the report of the
committee on resolutions addiesses
ware made by Dr. Furlong, Col.
Crocker, H. Howard, Josepti Johnson
and others, all of which were received
with applause.
The resolutions reported by the
committee and passed were: lte-af-
Mruiing the Omaha platform and
pledging alleglence thereto: urging
the reduction of all official salaries
commensurate with the reduction in
the price of all commodities produced
by taxpayers: In favor of woman suf-
frage: urgiig the reduction of county
expenses and promising that If the
party is put in power they shall be
providing for the discipline of candi-
dates and officers making trades or at-
tempting fusion; condemning the
"brutal treatment of Inlllcted
Coxcy, Browne und Jones," and en-
dorsing the Coxey movement as a
notice to keep hands off the American
republic, and endorsing the acis of
the populist members of congress.
The convention then proceeded to
nominate a county ticket which re-
sulted as follows:
For Sheriff—J. M. Fightmaster.
Register of Dec^s- Ralph A. Dyks-
tra.
Treasurer—G. B. Haney.
County Attorney—asa Jones.
County Clerk—Zach Taylor.
Probate Judge—Thos. Helm.
Superintendent of Schools—Miss
Alice Blefnan.
Surveyor—N. T. Nix.
Coroner—Dr. Mcllvain.
Commissioner 2nd District—F M.
Hawley.
Every candidate before being ballot-
ed for was asked to come forward and
pledge themselves to the convention
so It is pretty generally unterstood
how each candidate stands. It is con-
sidered a strong ticket and one that
gives general satisfaction to the party
tuough a few claim that some por
tlons of the county is not fairly repje-
sented.
In selecting six delegates to attend
the territorial congressional conven-
tion it was with the express under-
standing that they go instructed for
Ralph Beaumont for congress. Those
selected were J. R. Furlong, G. B.
Haney. C. J. Weber, R. Kleiner, Col.
Crocker and Mark LeeddHh The ter-
ritorial convention will be held at El
Reno July 10th.'
The new county central committee
appointed has Theo. L. Dixon as
chairman, and Ralph L. Dykstra. as
secretary. It was also decided to
hold another convention August 1st,
at which time the selection of a com-
missioner for the drst district will be
made. The convention then ad-
journed.

To WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Serious discord has riseu amongst
the ranks of the paid and volunteer
Are departments of Oulahcma City in
regard t,o the actions of the superior
officers. It is gravely hinted that sec-
tions 1, 2, 3 and -4, of city ordinance
No. 42, have been grossly violated.
The volunteer lire department receive
little compensatiou for their services,
and whan they cannot work in har-
mony with their superior officers it is
time for the honorable mayor and
members of the municipal corporation
of Oklahoma City to investigate thor-
oughly, and if these sections have
been violated expel the guilty ones.
When such a scene was enacted as
occurred last Tuesday evening when
ti-", volunteer fire company was out
drilling, something is radically wrong.
It is the duty of every taxpayer and
property owner to have good Are pro-
tection, but with the present state of
affairs such as volunteer Bremen hav-
ing their nan-es erased from the roll
on account of the actions of superior
officers the Hre apparatus can not be
properly manned for a large Are.

Mrs. F. II. UmholU left on Tues

A Million friends.
A friend In need is a friend Indeed,
and not less than one million people
have found just such a friend in Dr.
King's New Discovery for coasump
tion, coughs and colds. If you have
never used this great cough medicine,
one trial will convince you that it has
wonderful curative powers in all dis-
eases of throat, chest and lungs. Each
bottle is guaranteed to do all that Is
claimed or money will be refunded.
