ABOUT COUNTY ELECTIONS.
Statehood is coming and many peo-
ple believe that not only the election
of delegate and members of legisla-
ture should be dispensed with but
for all county officers as well. It Is
pointed out that the Indian territory
portion of the state would be com-
pelled to hold an election immediately
after the stair government was In
operation as there are now no county
officers to hold over. If the elections
held In Oklahoma this fall are to hold
under the state, the constitution
would have to make special provision
for It. It Is not a good idea to start
out with special legislation in the con-
stitution. This Is a subject which
should receive prompt attendtion
from the people and if they prefer to
have the present officials hold over
until the state government Is In
force they should make Delegate Mc-
Guire acquainted with their wishes. If
the change Is desired action should be
taken without delay.

KUX VOMICA SWEET PROFESSOR.
A sweet, mild faced professor, an
Instructor In one of the territorial In-
stitutions, who attended the field meet
as a duty, a man who, judging from
that same calm face, had attained the
ripe age of perhaps 24 years 3 months,
or 24 years 4 months, was overheard
to remark to a companion In a voice
moderated like a society woman's,
"I realize that 1 have attained an age
where I no longer am in sympathy
with these boys* sports." It never was
In sympathy with boys or boys* sports,
In fact never was a boy. The man
who could not follow teaching for
more years than this sweet creature
Is old and not still be ropturously,
tumultuously in sympathy with the
sports of boys has no business to
have charge of healthy boys. If there
are many such mental eunuchs In our
schools it Is no wonder the boys
clamor for skin rubbing, head break-
ing. rib cracking, muscle tearing foot-
ball as a wholesome relief.
O
THE DEMAND IS UNMISTAKABLE.
Every paper along the route of the
trade excursion to the northwest gives
much space to the visit of Oklahoma
city's Jobbers and other business men,
and In every ease the subject discussed
Ss the northwest road from this city.
The people at every point talked clos-
er connections with this city almost
to the exclusion of every other sub-
ject. The people are fairly clamoring
for direct connection by railroad with
the metropolis of the great state.
Surely the people of this city see the
significance of this demand and what
such a road would do for the city.
The energies, the best judgments, the
patriotism of the citizens, and all the
latent enthusiasm of a people who
never fall should be concentrated on
this project. Outlets to the northwest
and to the southwest must be secured
and that, too, within the present year.
The heaviest part of the work of mak-
ing a city of 100,000 would then be
®vrr. The rest would be easy.
O
The people of the eastern portions
of the city have organized a strong
Improvement association which will
4o vast good for that section of the
city and as what Is good for one sec-
tion Is good for all, the work of this
association will be of value to the
whole city. The people In charge are
vigorous, Intelligent and filled with
elvlc pride, - %

HOW IT WAS DONE.
Harrison Gazette: Some people
failed to catch the true meaning of
the trade excursion which Oklahoma
City sent out this week. The men
who were here Monday were not out
for a good time primarily. They
were out after business. That excur-
sion was a huge advertisement whose
way had been prepared by hundreds
of pages of advertisement In the Ok-
lahoma City uppers calling attention
to the business firms who had repre-
sentatives aboard that train. Okla-
homa City has early learned the les-
son that advertisiug pays and that is
what makes it greater than its rivals.
Its merchants ate neither ashamed of
their town nor the |pods .th*j- sell.
TIME TO MAKE HAY.
All agree that statehood wtl come
at this session of congress and no
one has suggested, a later date than
June 15th for the passage of an en-
abling act. Certainly within a month
a bill will pass congress providing for
the entrance of Oklahoma Into the
union as a state.
The passage of this bill will be fol-
lowed by the most Intense political
activity ever seen In this or any other
territory. Every effort will be put
forth to have the state government
Inaugurated by March 4th. 1907, or
as shortly thereafter as possible. The
political parties will first call con-
ventions or primary elections to
choose delegates to a constitutional
convention. The choice of delegates
will be affected by many conflicting
elements. All the freaks who wish to
do away, with government will be
making propositions. Prohibitionists,
local optlonlsts, free liquor advocates
license men, all will be at work and
some of them may put tickets in the
field. Gamblers will, become active
In selecting candidate's who would
deal gently with their peculiar sins.
Equal suffragists will have a power-
ful organization to secure the elim-
ination of the usual restriction as to
sex of voters. Then a heated Campaign
will be followed by the election.
After this would come the nomi-
nation and election of candidates for
members of congress, governor and
other state officers, this election to
occur at the same time as the vote
on the constitution. If the constitu-
tion should contain separate clauses
to be voted for or against independ-
ently of the constitution as a whole
the interest in the election might be
Immensely Increased. Suppose the
people were asked to vote for or
against female suffrage, local option
laws, prohltitlon, Initiative and refer-
endum It can be readily understood
that the election would take up most
of the energies of the people.
Any one can see that the coming
year Is to be the most intensely busy
one ever known in the territory and
this being true the people should pre-
pare for the work. It is evident to
every thoughtful person that the best
energies of a large portion of the
men who do things will be absorbed
in these conventions and elections.
There Is now but little time left
until this series of contests will be
opened and that time should be im-
proved. Most of the work necessary
to secure two more railroads should
be done within the next four weeks.
Now all are at liberty to help while
many will be absorbed In the mighty
task of Instituting a 6tate government
and looking after an office.
O
FORSIIADC)WS OVERTHROW
OF ALL.
The complete collapse of the paper
trust under the prosecution of the
United States government, shows that
the time is near when every trust in
the United States will go to pieces.
The suit brought by the government
to dissolve the trust on the ground
that the combination was In restraint
of inter-state commerce applies with
equal force to the steel trust, standard
oil, beef, salt and all others.
These various trusts will probably
voluntairly dissolve as the paper trust
had an abundance of money with
which to fight the case through the
courts. The suit was dropped bee&use
failure was inevitable.
It is more than likely that the men
at the heads of these mighty trusts
have become aware that the demand
for a square deal Is not a mere whim
which will pass within a short time,
but is a conviction firmly established
and which grows with each passing
year. These men undoubtedly com-
prehend that these suits and the In-
formation brought to light by them.
Irritate the people and make them
more and more determined to crush
all hurtful combinations. They see
that if they prolong the fight and put
the people to heavy expense, that the
demands of the people will grow with
each year's delay. The managers of
trusts see the people are fully deter-
mined to eliminate all unfair combin-
ations and the wise ones are for com-
plying. •
It Is an old saying that reforms
never turn backward and this trust
business has become a moral question
with the people and will be pushed
until settled for all time. When an^
question Is discussed front a moral
standpoint in America nothing can
prevent the discussion from increasing
until settled. We have had such ques-
tions In the past and they were settled
and we have several now. Among
these may be mentioned trusts, trans-
portation, liquor questions and gam-
bling These things are up for settle-
ment and the discussion will continue
until they cease to be issues. There
are others which are only Just begin-

ning to receive some attention but
which must some day be formally
brought before the people for discus-
sion and settlement. Among these
may be mentioned the elimination of
the criminal class as such. No at-
tempt Is yet jnade to deal with the
criminals as a class, but saner laws
are foreshadowed by many sugges-
tions by men who have thought pro-
foundly on the subject.
Sometime in the future the dispo-
sition of vast fortunes and the care
of the very poor will come before the
people for rational treatment and
when they appeal to the consciences
of the people, settlement will be in
sight. The people will not for all
time endure that which they believe
to be morally unjust.
KEEPING TO THE AMERICAN
WAY.
Inter Ocean:—The Illinois house
passed on Wednesday a primary
elections bill of which the following
are the leading points:
1. All primaries are to be held on
the same day and at the election pol-
ling places throughout the state. This
Is a real reform, putting an end to
"county Jumping" and other unfair
practices.
2. All nominations are to be made
by conventions, but candidates to be
voted for in more than one county are
to have their names on the ballots.
The later provision legally requires
to be done what has been largely
done voluntarily.
3. Candidates to be voted for In
more than one county who receive a
plurality at a primary are to have
Its delegates vote for them on at
least one ballot. This again makes
a fair common practice a legal re-
quirement.
4. To get their names on the bal-
lot candidates must file petitions from
5 per cent of the party vote. This
is meant ti eliminate the "perpetual"
and "joke" candidate.
5. Candidates for the United States
senate are to he voted on as an ex-
pression of opinion only. This has
been done voluntarily on several oc-
casslons.
Whatever faults may be found in
the bill as passed by the house. It
appears to have been framed In a
commendable spirit. It seems to con-
tain very little of the played out
"referendum" Idea Imported from
Europe by our acaremlc "reformers"
and to keep closely to the American
Idea of representative government.

AN UNFAIR DISTINCTION.
It is stated that thy faculty of the
State University u£. Missouri will ex-
pell the students of that institution
who lead in the attacks on showmen
a few days ago. A number of students
attended a circus aVid raised a dis-
turbance that the manager of the
cltcus attempted to put them out
when a riot ensued In which many
were injured. Hundreds of students
then went to the train for the pur-
pose of "evening up" with the show-
men. They stole two chariots and re-
moved a rail from the tracks in an
attempt to wreck the circus train.
These young men In going to the
circus and raising a disturbance were
not only annoying the circus man-
agers, but the people of the city and
surrounding country who were in at-
tendance.
It will be argued by many that such
things are mere boyish pranks which
should be overlooked. Why in col-
lege boys any moTe than In boys
working In stores, printing offices,
shops and factories? It would not be
tolerated In any other class. Is It
to be taken for granted that college
life breeds disorder and contempt for
law and the rights of others?
However, the young men who went
to the train, removing property and
atempted to wreck a train can surely
have no excusers. These acts were
such that had they been perpetrated
by any other class of young men
they would be prosecuted by the state
on a criminal charge It is to be
hoped that the faculty will expell all
the leaders.
The people of the city were startled
early yesterday morning with the an-
nouncement that the packing house
was burning down. Fortunately tho
fire was put under control before tho
great Institution was destroyed, al-
though the damage was heavy. Tho
damage will be repaired Just as soon
as the work can be done The citi-
zens of the city congratulate them-
selves that the damage was no worse.
No concern In the city has blighter
prospects and It will be but a few
years until this will be one of the
great concerns of the kind In tin*
country.
Barring the stiff breeze of the last
few days the weather has been about
perfect. Crops of every kind Including
fruit are In fine shape. Peaches are
as large as quail eggs and the limbs
are bending under their weight.

VILLIANOUS NEWSPAPER WORK.
Oklahoma City newspapers are con-
siderably worried about the further
confirmation of the- story printed
some months ago In the State Capital
that a portion of a bonus to the
Guthrie, Fairview and Western had
been conditioned that the road should
not touch Kingfisher, as the Oklaho-
ma wholesalers want to kill off com-
petition on the northwest line. They
felt that a line which also connected
with Guthrie and Kingfisher would
do more harm than good. They
doubtless were mistaken, and at any
rate the policy of making merciless
war upon any town that Is gaining
any commercial prominence Is a bad
policy. There Is enough in Oklahoma
for all.
The above from the State Capital
Is false and contemptibly mean.
When the bonus was raised for the
terminal proposition subscriptions to
the amount of $60,000 were secured
(every dollar of which was without
conditions except $1200 which was
conditioned for the very purpose of
dodging Its payment). Several thou-
sand dollars more than the amount
of money needed was subscribed and
every dollar would have been paid on
demand. The soliciting committee
found a few people who were able to
pay but who refused to subscribe any
thing It would be just as honest for
the Capital to have taken hold of
that fact and declared none of the
people of this city would give money
because roads might be built through
other towns. A number of the people
of Guthrie •subscribed to a bonus to
secure a road and after getting it re-
fused to pay their notes and have
been sued by the company. Would
It be fair for the oklahoma City pa-
pers to tell the world that the entire
population of Guthrie was made up
of scoundrels who would not pay their
debts or that the town was bankrupt
and the business men who signed
notes could not pay them? Such state-
ments would be as fair as this oft re-
peated lie of the Capital.
This whole matter Is understood by
the Capital. It is not mistaken nor
Is It ignorant of the facts In con-
nection with this question. It is
simply lying for the purpose of In-
juring the jobbers of this city. Envy
Inspires these contemptible false-
hoods. This exhibition of narrow
jealousy accomplishes nothing as the
people of Kingfisher are fully aware
of what occurred here and knows well
what Inspires these falsehoods, pub-
lished In the Capital. The people of
Kingfisher are not fools to he taken
in by so transparent a pipe dream.
O
A FRIENDLY CRITICISM.
A few of the automobile owners
of the city are disposed to resent tin*
very moderate editorial In the Times-
Journal a few days ago In which it
was suggested that there were a few
who drove their machines at too rapid
s rate. The strictures of the Times-
Journal have been mild because In
most cases the persons handling ma-
chines have used sufficient care and
have shown due consideration for
those who cannot or do not care to
move about the streets in that way.
There Is scarcely a paper sent out
from the great cities which does not
contain a roast on owners of auto-
mobiles who race them through the
streets. Not a big city in America or
Europe but has Axed a mixlmuin
speed and reports of arrests and fines
for fast driving are common. Mount-
ed policemen are employed In great
cities to enforce ordinances against
racing but In spite of these precau-
tions children are murdered almost
every week. It was to avoid similar
murder here that we urged greater
care In the handling of these power-
ful machines as such a crime In this
city might be followed by a second
murder.
To show that the Times-Journal
editorial was mild in its strictures as
compared with what occurs In papers
In large cities, the following from a
St. Louis paper Is given;
"The numerou- •icchlei.is resulting
from tho running of automobiles at
high speed is exciting great and very
general public indignation Very
stringent orders have been Issued hy
the city and county officials to put a
stop to it and to require the police to
see that the speed limit is not ex-
ceeded. The outrage of driving pon-
derous and powerful machines
twenty-five to thirty miles an hour Is
far too •cntnmon especially on the
thoroughfares of the western part of
the city and in the county and It Is
high time a stop was put to It."
O
FRAUDULENT XLFAI.FA SEED
(Topeka Capital.)
A real service Is done the state by
the publication of the alfalfa seed
bulletin hy the agricultural experi-
ment station at Manhattan, calling at-
tention to the cheats in selling what
is represented to he pure alfalfa seed.
In one sample the bulletin reports that
eighteen varieties of harmful or
worthless plant seeds were found, and
the proportion of alfalfa seed In the
whole was less than two-thirds, 63
per cent.
Alfalfa growing lias become Im-
mensely popular In every part of
Kansas, as the profitableness of this
crop and its . drouth-resisting powers
become known, hut the Initial cost of
raising alfalfa still deters many far-
mers from risking the loss of the seed.
It must he planted with extra care,
on deep soil, whether the ground lies
high or low. and the ground must be
thoroughly cultivated two or three
times and finely pulverized on the
surface to Insure the best results.
Then, the time of planting Is also vital,
the best period In this section be-
ing around the middle of August. An-
other factor Is the great cost of the
seed Where from $9 to $10 must ho
paid for a bushel of seed, farmers
should at least be assured that they
are gettlna what they pay such a
price for But the agricultural bul-
letin proves TRat t fie re are frauds In
the alfalfa seed lru«tneSs sufficient to
justify this special notification.
The affaVfa raiser can much better
afford to pay $20 for seed than to he
looted out of not only his $!> to $10
per bushel for cheap seed, hut out of
the use of i|is ground as well Un-
fortunately. he is without protection.
The fraud can he detected only under
a miscroscope and then not easily. It
rests with seed dealers to treat this
Industry fairly In their own ultimate
Interest, and the farmers are advised
to buy only of sellers In w hose hon-
esty they have good reason for con-
fidence
O
FEW POINTS OF RESEMBLANCE.
Popular government may he said to
have been launched In Russia. No
matter what the outcome of the pres-
ent douma. constitutional government
Is an assured fact In the near future.
It would be hard to foretell Just what
the present douma or parliament, may
do, but even If its members become
insane and attempt to do away with
all restrictions, and It becomes neces-
sary for the government to use the
army to maintain order, yet a consti-
tutional government will come In
time. It is on the cards that all gov-
ernme nts shall be hy the consent of
the people and It is equally certain
that any government to lar.t must he
the real thing. Government must of
necessity be hacked by force or be
useless.
To be sure there are a few people
who say force has no place In govern-
ment and that if all laws were Just
no one would be templed to break
them. None but a foolish dreamer
or Immature youth will seriously
make such assertions. Every day ex-
perience shows the falsity of these
claims but It seems that many of the
men chosen to represent Russian sen-
timent In this initial parliament have
been poisoned hy this vision of an-
archism. There are many socialists
In that parliament who may do vast
harm by their peculiar notions. What
should la- done at this time and what
the peasants are clamoring for, Is
the breaking up of the communes
and the distribution of the public
lands among the niases. if the
present douma does this and makes
provision for universal education, the
foundation for a stable government
will be laid With the great mass of
the people property owners, they will
be for order and against revolutions
and with schools for all. public mat-
ters would receive careful attention.
People have declared that the Rus-
sians are going through a period cor-
responding to that of the Americans
at the time of the revolutionary war.
There Is scarcely a point of resem-
blance In conditions or the thought
and training of the two peoples.
The American colonies were self-
governing and they were decended
from a people who had enjoyed pop-
ular government, free speech etc for
hundreds of years. The Americans
were not rebelling against English
laws and customs but began the war
to compel the English government to
recognize them as Englishmen It
America had had debating >ci« •*#
where goyer. mental affairs were dis-
cussed and the very youths mads

and the necessity for organization.
No people in tiii- world had ever
given more attention to the science
of govenment that the people of the
American colonies Just preceedlnif
the war of the revolution
On the contrary there are te\i
schools In Russia and the masses artl
grossly Ignorant. They have been s<i
cruelly treated that they seek free-
dom as a means of escape from law.
All law Is hateful to many of them
and their communes have killed all
ambition hence they are Improvident
and come close to the starvation
point each year. Their educated in n
are generally freaks who glory In
bidding defiance to social and moral
laws The cmlsarles they send abroad
scandalize decent people and they do
their cause harm. Gorkey has done
vastly more harm to his cause in the
United States than he has done good.
People draw bac k when they are ask-
ed to aid such creatures to get con-
trol of the government.
America had no men during its
revolutionary period who openly
avowed Immorality although some
of the patriots were not without
blemlses. It would be Impos-
sible to Imagine Franklin, Lee,
Plnckney, Adams or any of the other
men of that day going to Europe
with an actress and introducing her
as his wife while he had a family at
home. It would be Impossible to
Imagine un American of that date de-
feuding such an net and declaring
the one wife for life Idea was a cap-
italistic notion. No American of that
date ever talked nonsense about the
abolition of all law as many of the
Russians of today.
The Russian Douma has a vastly
harder task than fell to the Ameri-
cans and If they succeed in organiz-
ing a Just and free government but
one with force enough to maintain or-
der the world will admit that great
men were In charge of the first parlia-
ment of the Russians.
