Nearly six thousand men indicated
their Inteutlon to cast ballots at the
election on November 6th. Nearly six
thousand men registered and by doing
so declared they would at the coming
election do their duty in selecting two
«nen to guard and, if need be, light
for the interests of this city In the
constitutional convention.
Each district has two men to choose
^tween and the work Is made about
as simple as possible.
All candidate's arc clean, honorable
men Identified with the Interests of
the city, so that the only question for
th voters to decide relates to the abil-
ity of the candidates to serve the city
In the peculiar kind of work to como
before the convention and particular-
ly arc they to choose men to watch
every word, phrase and sentence
which might in any way have any
bearing on the future welfare of the
elty. These voters are to compare
man with man and determine but one
thing, which, can do the metropolis
the greatest good in the work which
relates to all cities and especially to
this one.
It will become the duty of the vot-
ers In the 28th to carefully study the
capabilities -.,f D. C. Lewis and Mr.
ughes and select the man who by
eans of experience and extent of ac-
quaintances Is best qua tilled to serve
the city in an emergency. They aro
to say which one of the two is best
suited to watch the small details just
ss an attorney of wide experience goes
ever alt the papers, watches every
motion and question of his opponent.
When the voters of the 28th district
have done this they will decide cor-
rectly and the decision will be D. C.
Lewis.
The voters of the 20th district must
conscientiously decide whether Mr.
McCredie or Mr. Mitch can do most
for the city. It is not a matter of
likes and dislikes, not a matter of how
much ancient history one can tell or
the charming conversational powers
ene or both may possess The only
thing for the voters to settle Is. which
man can do most for the advancement
©f the city. Which one Is best suited
by experience and natural ability or
temperament to do greatest service
for the city at this critical period.
Mr. McCredie has served in the legis-
lature from this county and from an
adjoining county. This service made
him well acquainted with public men
throughout the territory and when h«
goes to the convention ho will have a
large acquaintance among Influential
members of that body. He will be in
position to do effective w<■ k from the
\j?ry beginning.

Dallas News: Considering the en-
ormous aggregiite of the world's crop
el wheat this season, estminted at '
500,000,000 bushels, against an aver-
age world crop of 2,000,ooo.ooo only
a decade ago, the current priee ol
the cereal can n^l be considered low
_Our own country has this year rais-
ed tin largest crop on record, and th
report of all other wheat-raising cpun-
tHes, now in. indicates that other
countries north of the equator haw-
been equally fortunate. There remain,
to watch anil hear from, the Southern
Hemisphere, the Argentine Republic
and Australia. The Argentine is a
greater disturber of tlje murket in
proportion to its production thaVi any
other wheat country in the world. It
Is an axiom among wheat dealers that
10,009,000 bushels of wheat more or
less In Argentine will cause wider*
fluctuations than 50,000,000 bushels
anywhere else. This Is because the
Argentine crop Is gathered in January
and February, or between seasons "as
to all other producers, and so Is apt
to destroy the equilibrium that had
het-n established after computing tin
aggregates of all the other crops and
adjusting prices to the balancing
equations of demand and supply. And
this disturbance is apt to Increase
from year to year, because the pro-
ducing capacity of that country Is In-
creasing with amazing rapidity and
the bulk of its crop is for export
Its own consumption being small, ow-
ing to its limited population. It was
only twelve years ago that Argentine
began to export wheat ut all on any
noticeable scale, while the last feu
seasons it has exported over 100,OOO.-
OOO bushels each year. So the prob-
lem of prices from now on is depend-
ent largely upon the outcome of the
Argentine crop. If that crop proves
as abundant as It has been the last
four years prices in this country are
apt to decline because the Argentine
wheat will come In competition with
our wheat exports. On the other
hand, if anything happens to the
Argentine crop our market will feel It
the other way.
Until recently the indications point-
ed to a serious lack of lpolsture in
the wheat fields of Argentine, but the
cables have since reported some rain,
though not enough. The crop there
Is just now passing through its criti-
cal period, und should rain be de-
ficient from now on, much of that
portion of the European demand that
Is usually supplied by the Southern
Hemisphere after January will have
to cpme here to be filled, Willi the ob-
vious result of a higher market for
our wheat. When it is remembered
that Argentine has enjoyed a superb
crop for the last four consecutive
years, the chances are good, on the
theory of averages, for a curtailed
yield this season.
As for the Australian crop, though
promising at present, it is yet subject
to vicissitudes, and Is In any event a
comparatively small factor in the
problem of future prices.
CANNOT SELL THE PEOPLE.
The democratic committee has sent
out the statement that the democrats
will surely carry the majority of the
delegate districts and for that reason
republicans should vote for democrat-
ic nominees.
This claim Is pure bluff, as their
poll shows nothing of the kind. The
poll taken by the democrats as well
as the poll taken by the republicans,
shows that the latter will secure a
majority of the delegates.
We will admit that in spite of the
fact that the democratic poll Indicat-
ed that the republicans wouTd secure
a majority of the districts, the mem-
bers of the democratic committee be-
lieve they will win out. They believe
that with the vast slush fund furnlsh-
*>d by two trusts, they can buy enough
votes to carry the election.
They openly rejoice over the trust
funds they have secured, but the peo-
ple do not, this year, propose to be
sold to any trust.
The people readily understand that
the democratic committee has had a
vast sum of money which could by
no means have beei^ralsed by legiti-
mate means, if trusts have furnished
the cash for the democratic campaign,
is it reasonable to suppose there Is
no direct understanding as to some
return for the cash expended?
Trusts do not throw away money,
nor do they take chances.
Here is one party which boasts of
the fact that it had an army of speak-
ers in tho field for threo months. Mr.
Voter, figure up what it would cost to
send fifty speakers into the remotest
corners of the two territories. Each
speaker would cost- $10 per day and
for threo months this has gone on!
The Oklahoman boasts of this fact.
Again, Mr. Voter, do you believe this
vast sum of money could have been
raised up dollar subscriptions? You
know it could nof. More than that,
the expenses of keeping fifty speakers
In tho field at $10 a dny for ninety
days does not represent more than
half the expense the men In control
of tho democratic campaign have ex-
Tended. Where did this vast sum of
money como from? There Is but on.-,
reply possible. Tho committee sold
out to a trust just as they boa • <1
a few weeks ago.
Will the people, including the gi.at
mass of the democrats who are d- -
cent, stund for such a barter? They
are .very .laj- declaring they wlir not [
do any Huch thing.
Comparo the action of tho two com-
mittees.

fttnt and boastful to the last d- ^
"pending money Ilk*' tin- spendthrift

lican committee has been modest, ex-

Topeka Capital: A week ago the
Capital ealled attention to the work
Of the Kansas Agricultural College
this fall In getting up 100 Farmers'
Institutes, the first being held at Mul-
vane, Oct. 15. The success of this
undertaking is already phenomenal.
Such institutes its are now being held
One of the features of this cum-
in all part.- of Kansas have never
l>een witnessed in any state From day
to day the Capital Is printing the dates
and places of the one hundred meet-
ings. One of the features of this cam-
paign Is the boys' corn contests for
which local prizes are offered in mpn-
ey, reports of the institutes state
that the farm boys are engaging in
the contests in great numbers, and
with enthusiasm that promises well
for the growing generation of progres-
sive farmers.
Corn Is the main topic of this cam-
paign, Prof. Ten Eyck being the chief
lecturer and conductor of discussions,
it Is the belief of the experts ftiat
the output of corn in Kansas is cap-
able of being increased five bushels to
the acre by taking advantage of the
most modern researches as to seed,
solla and cultivation. Such an In-
crease would reach a value of some-
think like ten million dollars a year,
which Is annual interest on 200 mil-
lion dollars. The figures sound In-
credible, but scientific agriculture is
making long strides in these days. It
is a science that has been backward
for generations, but that is catching
up.
It Is the Capital's notion that no
event of the year Is to bo compared
in importance in Kansas with these
100 Farmers' Institutes. Everywhere
they are attended by from 500 to 1,-
500 or more of the best farmers of the
locality, and as they extend all
through the corn belt of the state
their results In the corn crop of next
year and following years are bound to
be Invaluable to Kansas prosperity.
VERY DIRTY WORK.
"The rumor to the efTect that It
cost the saloon elements $5,000 to
keep the charter act from being put
Into effect may or may not be true,
but it is at least significant that the
act Is still a dead-letter, notvvithstand
ing the promises of some aldermen
before the last city election."
The Above lying statement from the
Oklahoman seems to be very pleasing
to that paper as it has been repeated
every week recently. There never was
such a rumor although the little gang
of character assassins In this city
might bo expected to manufacture Just
such a villanious He as that. The
editor of the Oklahoman knows the
members of the council never received
a dollar for any such a purpose and
he knows that the members of tl\e
council did all In their power to get
the new charter Installed. The edi-
tor of the Oklahoman dare not come
out and say the council -did anything
of the kind but following the usual
course of the paper tries to poison the
minds of the people by a cowardly In-
sinuation which It hopes may be taken
up and enlarged "upon by dirty gos-
sips.
Decent people everywhere denounce
such tactics and this Indecent attack
upon the members of the city council
Is condemned on all sides.
Just such an attack as this may be
expected from that paper on tho re-
publican nominees for delegates to
constitutional convention, and the
people should be on their guard.
When this is done point to the
dirty attack made by the paper on
such men as Ix e, House, Johnston,
Van Meter, Foulk, Towler, Houghton.
McWilliams, Warren and I^and and
show that a paper which would stoop
to vllllfy such men would not hesitate
to lie about a candidate in the midst
of a campaign.
O
The democratic committee will, In
every way, try to create the Impres-
sion that fraud has been committed
In registration and in every conceiv-
able way. The charge is made that
200 /certlficate8 were issued without
numbers. The numbers on the c< i tifi-
^ates could be of no possible use to
the challengers as the names will be
transcribed Into as many different
books as there are precincts. In case
a. suit it might be easier to locate
the names on the first book but as
the unnumbered ones come last, any
name could be found in a half minute'.
The republicans of the city greatly
regret that the Independent candi-
dates did not comply with the law In
drafting their petitions to have their
names put upon the ballots as candi-
dates for delegates to the oonstltutlon-
•onvontlon. In the first place re-
publicans desire that all persons be
given an opportunity to vote for whoih
y wish and In the second place I
-e candidates would have helped
the republican candidates by drawing !
e heavily from the democrats than !
frojn th* republicans. There nre many I
Iaw^ which must be literally followed j
or tho law break* down completely j
and this manner of making uotnina- ;
tlons is such a case. No ono doubts )
but that the law was followed, no
matter how much they regret the
oversight on the part of the petttton-
Thls Is the time to talk,.argue and
vote for the metropolis. No mistake '
should be made at this critle.il period. |

This appeal to prejudlc- ha- born
fruit In Oklahoma. In the Purcell
delegate district- the republican nom-
inee was shot and badly w ounded just
after he had held a meeting, and for
no other reason than that he had a
negro drive his horse for him. Wlvn
Mr. Hocker drove to tin place of
meeting, a lot of rabid and half
erased fellows who had beeei read-
ing the incendiary stuff printed in the
Oklahoman and other pape - ■•!" like
yellow or vicious tendencies, threaten-
ed to kill the negro driver, but de-
sisted on the Interference of Mr.
Hocker. When the meeting was uvor
and Mr. Hocker was driving away
sonio villain deliberately fired both
barrels of a double barrel shotgun at
Mr. Hocker, severely wounding him.
We*do not accuse tho democratic
party of Instigating this murderous
attack but it came as the direct re-
sult of the Insanely vicious articles In
many of the democratic papers. Tin-
prejudice engendered by the cartoons
sent out by the democratic committee
Is to a large extent responsible for this
outrage on a republican nominee
while making a fair open campaign.
Will the enlightened people of Okla-
homa, endorse such Infernal prac-'
tlces? Will they have it go out to tin-
world that there are sections of this
territory where a republican dare not
go and take a colored coachman with-
out being assassinated? If this Im-
pression, based upon facts, is to be
avoided then the democratic Commit-
tee mu?t cease to urge democratic
papers to howl about the dangers of
negro domination.
As long as the democratic papers
assert there Is danger of negro domi-
nation anil hair brained democratic
orators split the very heavens with
Impassioned appeals to the people to
eliminate the "d—d niggers'' some ig-
norant democrat will be using shot-
guns on republican candidate-.
As stated before we do not accuse
the great mass of the democrats of
endorsing the assassination business;
most of them will denounce It. but
they should muzzle the men who are
advising such things and they should
condemn the lying statements in their
yellow papers.
O
THE SALTON SI: \.
A dispatch which was printed yes-
terday stated thnt the Southern Pa-
cific Railroad company had won its
fight against the Colorado river. It
had turned back into the river's
channel leading to the Gulf of Califor-
nia the first water of the river that
has flowed there for two years asserts
the Record Herald. "By this great
achievement." the dispatch continues.
"$25,000,000 of property and the
homes of 10,000 people arc rescued
from threatening Inundation. Salton
sea, which has Ijeen created during
the two years that the river has been
pfturlng Into the desert's bosom, will
now dry up."
At last reports the Salton sea. cov-
ered an area of about 400 square
miles. It is a body of water that owes
Its existence to a grand irrigation
scheme. A company tapped the Col-
orado river near Yuma with the In-
tention of carrying tho water by a
canal through northern Mexico and
Into southern California. Among Its
concessions was one from the Mexican
government, and while It was working
on a ditch in Mexico there was a per-
iod of floods, during which the river
broke through Its banks and poured
Into the lowlands across the border.
Several small towns were sub-
merged and the roadbed of the So th-
ern Pacific was soon out of sight. At
points Its course could be traced only
by the tops of telegraph poles. Win re
the land was lowest the water ha 1 a
depth of seventy feet.
Commissions were appointed by
both the Mexican and Amoi. an
Goverlnments to study • Into

They have not had to worry over
finances, nor have they been com-
pelled to economize on expenditures.
Their campaign has been furious
from the first und any one can sec
that they must have expended close
to $100,000 on this campaign. Mr.
Voter, where did that money come
from? You know that It has been
spent, and you surely can figure
where it came from. Do you believe
it any trust would so generously
contribute to a political slush fund
without a direct understanding that
It was to be favored by law?
Admitting for argument's sake thnt
the leaders of the two parties were
alike in sentiments concerning trusts,
and this Is not true in the territories,
would not the republican party which
received nothing from the trusts be
more likely to stand by the people,
than the democratic party which has
had Its campaign expenses paid by
the trusts.
The republicans have practically
made their campaign and have noth-
ing in reserve to spring. IX a new
thing Is sprung It will be because it
was not discovered sooner.
ALSO DEM AND HON EST \% EHillTS.
The pure foods agitation is bringing
on a discussion on a kindred subject,
that of honest weights. There is no
reason why false weights and false
measures should not be treated as
counterfeiting money Is treated. It is
as much of a moral offense to cheat
In tho one case as in the other and
the law should punish with Imprison-
ment any one who tampers with scales
or knowingly gives wrong weights or
measures.
As an evidence of what Is taking
place along these lines and what It
proposed to do the investigations of
the Kansas authorities are significant.
The state board of that state has been
conducting a scries of examinations
of the butter of Kansas and in the re-
port of the analyses of the samples
from twenty-one creameries Issued
today only one company sells butter
that Is not short in net weight A
large number of samples of butter
of each creamery were purchased in
the open market and sent to tho
chemist of the board. In the report,
J. T. Willard, the state chemist, says
"It must be conceded that It Is im-
possible to have all prints put out by
a creamery equal in weight, but when
practically every sample Is under
weight it Is evident that the general
practice of creameries is to make
them so." The weights of the sam-
ples purchased varied from 13.9
ounces to 15 ounces, except In the
one case where the net was over the
full sixteen ounces. Six of the sam-
ples were below fifteen ounces, one
below fourteen and thirteen samples
were below thiffull weight. Dr. t 'rum-
bine will recommend to the legisla-
ture that the creameries be required
to either put a full net pound In their
packages or state the exact net weight
of the butter.
The recent pure food law of con-
gress has brought the andard of but-
ter to a higher average L< water

Texas, where it i< confidently asserted
that what .Ian. Hryce « 'lis "the one

States'" has been wiped out. Unlvcston
is now living under what might be
called a plural dictatorship. Its gov-
ernment has been put in the hands
of a commission of five men which
exercises the legislative and • \ ullxe
powers of the city. Tills commission
was created under a new charter
granted by tin- legislature, and tin*
only change made in It so far is to
make It more radical. Orlginul-ly the

systems there was much complaint.
The story o( the ehange that has

incredible as any in the Arabian

completed. The sanitary work has
been such thai yellow fever has been
abolished and tin- death rale brought
phenomenally low. All places of vice
have been placed In complete sub-
jection. The morality and good order
of the eommunity are marked. in
short, It is a model city. The five
commissioners do not devote all of
their time to the city government.
They receive a salary of (1,-00 a year
and attend to their oilier business as
usual. The people are delighted with
the new system and would no more
dispense with it than they would
abandon th< railroads and the tele-
graph If this astonishes the people of
Chicago they will be still more as-
tonished to learn that Houston has
been living under a similar govern-
ment for the last two years, that Dal-
las. San Antonio and Port Worth ure

it is In operation In .Norfolk. Va., and
that Des Moiin . Iowa, has appointed
