Where is that bunch of re-
publicans who told us two
years ago that if we would vote
for Taft and his administra-
tion we would have four years
of prosperity and a full dinner
pail? We have not heard them
give even a good sized grunt
on this subjetc lately. There
must be something wrong about
this republican prosperity.
1
Some say it pays to play pol-
itics. It may pay the men who
do the playing, but it is h—1
on the community. By a little
political stunt a few of our
young lawyers pulled ott here
last December with the assist-
ance of one of their republican
friends, Enid has suffered more
ways than one. In the first
place it knocked a few hands
out of employment and was the
direct cause of several thou-j
sand dollars' worth of personal
property being shipped out of
the state this week. Of course
the young lawyers got what
they wanted—their fee—and
the politician got what he
wanted, but it has hurt Enid.

During Cleveland's last ad-
ministration through a force of
circumstance the United States
certainly did have some hard
picking but we find that we
are no better off today than we
were then. Mr. Horney of this
city has just returned from Il-
linois and reports some very
unfavorable stories. He says
that there are men there walk-
ing the streets looking for
work who have never been
without work before in their
lives. There are thousands of
them out of employment. What
is true in Illinois is true of
other parts. Is it any wonder
that the socialists are gaining
such a large foothold in this
country?

Big corporations that are
capitalized for millions of dol-
lars and have all kinds of mon-
ey, and by the way have got
their money through favors
granted them by the republi-
can administration, are now
calling in all the money they
possibly can. It must be on
account of this republican pros-
perity we are experiencing
these days—and in some in-
stances they go to unfair means
to try to get their money in
their fists.
We consider it a matter of

Educational institutions are

But. we have one, and it is. well

the city than those for which

No doubt this move was not
made by them with a purely

WHY NOT A UNION STA-
TION? '
Enid's railroads are excep-
tionally well located to take ad-
vantages offered by the insti-
tution of a union station. Of
the three stations in the city, |
two are side by side, and the
other line passes not far dis-■
tant.
None of the stations in this
city are structures of which
census the
of Guthrie
had a population of 11,652.
Last year, three years later, it
had a population of 11,654—a
gain of tivo. We believe that
the good mammy who present-
ed these two pickaninnies
should receive some token of
public acknowledgement by the
citizens of Guthrie, for valuable
services rendered, in not allow-
ing the population of the city
to remain the same for this
period.

We should surmise from the
stories we read in the Musko-
gee Phoenix and from the com-
ments thereon in other papers
of the state, that that sheet

case In which this corporation was
fined $75,000 for violating the
anti-trust laws of Oklahoma.
Tha action was taken as a re-
sult of the partial report of M. E

sentatives of the state examiner's
office, who have been checking up
the Garfield county offices for
some months past.
The petition in the case filed
yesterday is in the name of the
commissioners of Garfield county
as plaintiffs. It reviews at length
the history of the litigation re-
sulting in a fine of $75,000 against
the oil company. It sets forth the
fact that the $15,000 was paid in
three installments of $5000 each
September 1, January 5 and April
6th.
The plaintiffs allege that the ot-
der of the district court to pay
(his money was without jurisdiction
The petition says that no suit was
pending to determine the question
as to whether these men were en-
titled to receive this money, and
that neither the county nor the
state was represented.
It is further alleged that neither
of the defendants made any report
of the collection of the fine as re-
quired by law and that the defend-
ants failed to pay the money Into
the treasury of the county as the
law required. H Is further stated I
that a demand has been made upon
H. G. McKeever and Daniel Huett j
for a return of this money to the
county treasury and that both have
declined to refund, claiming the
money aB rightfully belonging to
them.

OKLAHOMA RESENTS
NEGRO APPOINTMENT,
TRAINS FROM ST. LOUIS TO SAN
FRANCISCO TO BE RUN
THROUGH THIS CITY
A storm of resentment has beenj
stirred up all over Oklahoma by
the announcement from .Washing-
ton that William T. Vernon, a ne-
gro, has been appointed assistant
supervisor of Indian schools for the
five civilized tribes, with headquar-
ters at Muskogee.
A protest against Vernon's ap-
pointment signed by all of the
state officers, was forwarded to the
secretary of the interior Thursday
It declared that the appointment
will tend to engender race preju-
dice, will nullify Oklahoma's separ-
ate school laws and will be an in-
sult to a race which is proud of
its patrician blood. . The protest
• was circulated by Senator E. M.

THE FIRE LADDIES.
Enid was glad to have the
firemen of Oklahoma in our
midst this week. We welcomed
them, and tried to show them
a good time. \Ye hope we suc-
ceeded. The life of the fire
laddie is ordinarily hard
enough, and we trust that this
little respite from responsibil-
ity and hazard was enjoyed to
the fullest extent.
As we watched them at their
drills, races and runs, the dis-
play run and pyrotechnic dis-
play of Wednesday evening,
we were reminded of an army
on parade. With bright uni-
forms, happy faces, thousands
of miles from a hostile foe,
far from danger, we love to

soon three new passenger crews.
It will be the icing station for
all refrigerator cars passing on this
new transcontinental route.
it will be a shipping point for
freight east and west from all con-
tributary territory.
These are qpine of the effects that
will be brought about by the re-
cent traffic agreement between the

railroads.
By this agreement, through ser-

Similar protests were placed in
circulation as soon as the news
was received in practically every
county in old Indian Territory,
which would be affected by the
order, and according to reports re-
ceived here, are being signed by
practically the entire Indian citi-
zenship of the five tribes, as well
as by the white residents of the
