STATE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
Governor—Lee Cruce, of Ard-
more.
Lieumant-Uovernor—J. J. McAl
FREE AND EASY
The report of the inventigation
committee Into the secret room of
j the city hall at Wichita shows that
I the former chief of police and fire
chief were the ones who had the
den constructed and that women
were taken there for immoral pur-
poses and that liquors which had
been seized In raids were taken
there. The report further shows
that minor employees of the city
were cognizant of the existence of
the room and transferred liquors
from where they were kept to the
resort of their convivial superior
officers.
The case is but another illustra-
tio nof the fact that all officers and
especially those with police powori
should be closely watched. Offi-
cers are but men and as a rule very
numan men at that. There is no
class of officials who are exposed to
the same temptations to indulge in
graft and immorality as police offi-
cers and those having police au-
thority. The very nature of their
business makes this true, it is for
this reason that in all cities where
the police department is properly
organized there are plain clothes
men employed, not to watch the
criminals, but to watch the police.
How easy it Is to go wrong is
further shown by the report in the
Wichita case, where a number of
married women were known to have
been entertained in the secret room
in the basement of the city build-
ing. What led up to such condi-
tions no one can say but it is well
known that frequently police offi-
cers are brought into contact with
women quite different from men in
other lines of business.
All can realize how easy it would
be for an officer to shut his eyes
while a culprit made a get-away,
j and how often it happens that some
lone is caught in a position where
I they would not hesitate to give up
I a good piece of money to remain
| unmolested. In these days of high
cost of living there are urgent de-
mands for many to get every dollar
they can and every investigation
show that many do not hesitate as
to the methods used to get the
money,
A lesson of great, importance can
be learned from the Wichita inci-
dent .
Don't be afraid to investigate the
life work of Abe Mehew. It is an
open book and there is nothing to
conceal or endeavor to cover up. His
years of experience in the commis-
sioner's office is worth many thous-
ands of dollars to the people if
they elect him to the office. He will j
be no green horn at the business,
and that alone is no small item in
the selection of a man for the
place.
Gen. M. Scifers, democratic noir-
inee for clerk of the district court,

Kennedy Mercantile company as
salesman for more than nine years
and has always been fair and cour-
teous to all his customers, and by
his fair treatment he has mada
a host of very warm friends. Mr
Scifers stands very high among tha
traveling salesmen.

FALSE ECONOMY.
A good illustration of the error
people sometimes make in trying to
economize.
After the fire at the public li-
brary yesterday D. W. Eastman,
chairman of the library board, stat-
ed that "The board thought it was
saving three dollars a month by not
having a telephone installed."
The fact that it was necessary to
go to a neighboring house and no-
tify the fire department probably
caused a loss of enough to have
paid telephone rent for some time.
The same rule applies to the
taking of a paper. A person may
lose many times the cost of the pa-
per by failing to take through a
false idea of economy.
Charley Borders is making one of
the best and cleanest campaigns ever
made in the county and the people
are going to vote for him regard-
less of politics. He can and will
do something for Enid when he
gets in the legislature.
Sam Myers is one of those popu-
lar fellows that every one likes and
his easy bearing stamps him a man
of the people, and he will be a mem-
ber of the official family of Garfield
county after the first of January
next. Vote for him for county
treasurer.
o
We heard a man say that Sam
Campbell would lose one thousand
democrats and gain fifteen hundred
republican votes in the election. If
he does then he is the next sheriff
and there is no use for the Events
to try to defeat him, for it can't
do it. Sam Campbell will be his
own successor.
The passing of Senator David B.
Hill removes one of the most
unique characters that ever adorned
the stages of American politics.
Coming to the front about thirty
years ago, he has been a very prom-
inent leader of the eastern democ-
racy ever since except the past four
years, when he retired.
■ •
For superior judge we find that
Judge Dan. lluett is doing great
work in his canvass. He is out
now and will let the people know
that he is after the votes and wants
them and will get them In fact, he
must have them. He is making an
honorable but strenuous campaign,
and there will be few people In the
county he will not see by election
day.
One of the bright active men oi
this county who has arrived at the
proper age to use good judgment in
business, practical workings of the
general affairs, is J. A. Larrick,
who will be the man to vote for for
superintendent of public schools. If
you elect him he will give the best
years of his life to the duties of the
office. He is well qualified and a
moral man in whom the people can
repose their confidence. He is and
lias been making friends every place,
he goes.
In looking over the democratic
ticket one will observe the name of
J. W. Steen for district judge. The
position of judge is one of the mo it
responsible in the catagory of all of-
ficers and requires a man of know-
ledge of law and one who is conser-
vative enough to see both sides of all
questions coming before him, and
be thereby able to give the proper
ruling on all cases, dealing out jus-
tice to all alike and proving him-
self able to hold the honorable po-
sition. This Judge Steen can and
will do, if you elect him to the
office of district judge. Vote for
him.
It is reported that a firm in this
city had printed and distributed a
lot of bills announcing that there
was a demand for several hundred
working men in this city. It is
hard to believe that such a story
is true, for it does not seem that one
claiming to be a business man
would be so short-sighted as to do
such a thing. What could there
possibly come of such an act can
not be discerned by the writer for if
the bills brought any one to the
town they would very soon find that
it was a fake and not only leave
the town but knock on it every
time an opportunity offered. One
of the troubles of a growing town
is that it taaracts more mechanics
and working men than it does
capitalists and frequently is fol-
lowed by reaction.
VOTE FOR
George M. Scifers, the nominee
on the democratic ticket, for clerk
of the district court.
GOOD TEST
San Antonio, Texas, Oct. ?l.—
Fort Sam Houston is much interest-
ed in the proposed changes in the
riding tests for the cavalry. It is
being urged that more should be re-
quired of cavalry officers than other
arms of the service. It is proposed
that field officers of the cavalrv
should be required to ride thirty
miles the first day, 45 miles the sec-
ond day and 60 miles on the third
day. On the third day the officers
would be furnished a change of
horses.
The theory upon which these tests
are made is they demonstrate the
officers who take them in condition
for service in war. The present
test, it is argued, is not sufficient to
show a cavalry officer is capable
of serving with his regiment during
hostilities. It is claimed the test
is sufficient for an officer in the
infantry or artillery.
It is pointed out by those who fa
vor a change that in actual warfare
an officer in other arms of the ser-
vice than the cavalry would very
seldom be called upon to ride thirty
miles a day. But in the cavalry
that might be a common occurrence.
In forced marches a cavalry officer
might be called upon to ride forty or
fifty miles a day.

AT THE PLAYHOUSE
THREE GENERATIONS OF FAM-
OUS PLAYERS.
In the theatrical world the name
of Drew stands for hereditary talent
—not one of the direct line or off-
shoots by marriage having failed to
establish his or her rights to the
name of connection with it. The
older John Drew was generally con-
ceded to be the greatest Irish come-
dian that ever lived. The famous
Mrs. John Drew is remembered with
love and veneration by all theatre- !
goers, and was unquestionably the
greatest comedienne of her time, j
The character of "Mrs. Malaprop" j
and the "Widow Warren" she made
her own and took them with her,
when death claimed her. The pres-
ent John Drew is acknowledged to
be one of the best light comedians
this county has produced and Geor-
gie Drew Barrymore was destined
to be as popular when a sudden
illness terminated her promising ca-
reer. However, she left a trio of
children who have all been tremen-
dously successful. Ethel, Lionel and
John Barrymore. Then there is
Sidney Drew, who for years has
been accepted as this country's most
versatile comedian, not only in his
own country but wherever the Eng-
lish language is spoken, he having
uccessfully acted in Australia, South
Africa and England. The last as-
pirant to hold up the Drew name is
S. Rankin Drew, the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Sidney Drew. Mrs. Drew be-
ing the daughter of those fine actors
Mr. and Mrs. McKee Rankin, and
the last of the Drews has the ad-
vantage of added inheritance from
the maternal side and will no doubt
live up to the traditions of this
great family of actors.
"BILLY."
One of New York's critics com-
menting on the opening performance
of Sidney Drew in his glorious "Bil-
ly." says:
"Was a toothsome comedy that lit-
erally lilt into humorland and cor-
nered the laugh market." Sidney
Drew and "Billy" are on their way
here, so there is a good time com-
ing soon, at the Loewen opera house
Tuesday evening, October 25th. The
seat sale oepned at the Peerless
drug store this morning.

PIONEER.
San Antonio, Texas, Oct. 21.—
WJjen the body of Stephen F. Aus-
tin, the founder and father of the
republic of Texas, was exhumed at
Peach Point, Texas, for the purpose
ot honoring it at its re-interment at
the state capitol much to the sur-
prise of the undertaker, the legisla-
tive and other committees, the skel-
eton was found in a complete state
of preservation.
The casket after remaining under
a guard of honor, was taken to Aus-
tin, where the body lay in state. All
that is mortal of the "Father of
Texas" has been buried in an isolat-
ed place in Brazoria county since
December, 1836. The reburial with
great military display foITowing me-
morial services was in the state
cemetery.
Austin, nearly a hundred years
ago, took up the work of colonizing
Texas, then a Spanish province, with
Americans, and he was a power in
organizing the Republic of Texas,
which shortly after his death for all
time threw off the yoke of Mexico
and became a part of the United
States.
