PARK, ENID, NEXT SAT-
URDAY
Washington, Sept. 13.—On the
tenth day of May, 1902, the gov-
ernment filed a petition for an in-
junction against the beef trust in
the federal court at Chicago. On
July 5th, 1911, the packers, after
having obtained forty-two de'ays
and postponements in the interven-
ing nine years, again pleaded not
guilty, and tor the forty^third time
their trial was postponed, this time
until November 20th of this year.
The status of the beef trust
prosecution, therefore, is exactly
where it was the day the first pa-
pers were filed nearly a decade ago.
The much-heralded "prosecution" of
this gigantic trust—a prosecution
which has been directed by one
republican attorney general after
another—has amounted to nothing.
Every man, woman and child in
the country is convinced that the
trust operates in violation of the
law, both statute and moral, and yet
nothing has been accomplished ln
the alleged campaign to stop these
violations except the disbursement
of thousands of dollars in fees for
special "trust busting" attorney
In the September Columbian maga-
zine Senator Bristow of Kausas tells
• How the Interests Control America''
and while this is an interesting ex-
pose and one that everybody should
read, Senator Bristow could pleast
a great many more people by writ-
ing auother article next month on
"How 1 Blocked Direct Election of
Senators by the People with an
Amendment Which 1 Knew Would
Kill the Bill."
When the Standpat Republican*
gave as their excuse for opposing
the Underwood-LaFollette revision
downward wool bill, the fact that
the tariff board had not reported,
they were only bluffing. The v
men who set up that excuse bitterly
opposed the creation of the tariff
board in the first place, and will
prove their inconsistency again by
being the first ones to raise their
voice in an attack on that board
to prevent tariff reduction when
Congress comes to consider it again.

A Close Vote—According to Various
A TON OF PLATINUM
What the people of Arizona real-
ly have to do to obtain statehood, is
a story that the American people
have never fully heard. Information
has gone out over the wires from
Washington that President Taft will
permit Arizona to enter the Union
by simply striking the "recall of the
judiciary" provision from its con-
stitution .
But only when the following facts
are considered can the full sig-
nificance %of the President's action
be grasped:
First, that the people of Arizona
by a vote of three to one deck* red
in favor of the recall.
Second, that in order to obtain
statehood the people of Arizona must
go back to the polls and vote against
a principle of government which
they have already voted in favor of
and which they believe to be right
By thus coercing the people to
vote against a thing which theiT
best judgment tells them to be
wise, threatening to withhold from
that people unless they vote as the
chief executive dictates, rights to
which they are justly entitled under
the constitution, President Taft has
committed himself to an action
which is without precedent in the
history of the American government.
The president has said to the
people of Arizona, in effect: No
matter whether the majority believe
that the recal of judges is wise orl
not; unless that majority goes to
the polls and pretends that it is
against the recall, 1 will deprive
the people of Arizona of statehood.
Yes, 1 will deprive the people of Ari-
zona of statehood whether they are
entitled to it under the constitution
or not, unless they vote not the
way they may desire, but as I com-
mand them to vote."
While this method of forcing the
people to vote against their will
may be perfectly compatible to the
mental workings of an execuive with
a "judicial temperament" isn't it
after all making a farce out of rep-
resentative government.
It is an interesting fact and one
probably not general) known, that
the precious metals, such as >'at-
lnum, gold, silver and even precious
stones, are used extensively iu the
manufacture of telephone apparatus
An official of the Western Elec-
tric company, the largest manu-
facturer of telephone apparatus in
the world, recently made the j'.ate-
ment that this company is making
use of more than a ton of platinum
each year, when it is consi1ered
that the value of platinum is 30
per cent greater than pure gol I, it
can be easily seen that this expen-
sive metal would not be used unless
results justny it. Experience has
shown, however, that platinum be-
cause it possesses the necessary
hardness to resist wear and is ab-
solutely non-corridible, is the best
metal for the contact points in tele-
phone apparatus. That is why tnis
ompany uses more than half a mil-
lion dollars worth in the coursi of
year and platinum is going up
every year at that.
The chief supply of platinum
omes from the Ural mountain? in
Russia, but the best yields have been
exhausted and the expense of ex-
traction increases while the yield
decreases. Only very small quanti-
ties of this useful metal have been
found In America, and while at-
tempts have been made to develop a
supply, especially from some of the
sands in the Pacific states, little
can be hoped for in this direction.
The present Indications are that
Russia will continue to supply over
ninety-five per cent of the total
consumption.
by Enid over all other cities of the
state eminently fit her for "the live
stock market center of the South-
west, which the Holding & indus-
trial company are endeavoring to
make It.
Enid outranks in railroads, having
ten diverging lines when no other
commercial center has more than
eight, hence Enid has great advan-
tages as a shipping point.
Enid is not only the center of th •
great hog raising section of the
southwest, but Is also near the
center of the cattle feeding territory.
L*id being the railroad center of
Oklahoma and Oklahoma the home
oi the "cow man" and feeder, the
cattle question is one that will
adjust itself at once a central market
is established.
Enid has the advantage in the
cattle feeding territory through the
fact that something like twenty-six
of the thirty-three cotton oil mills
of the state are located on railroad
lines running into the city.
Enid is the only main line Rock
Island city in the state that Is now
endeavoring to establish a stock
market and packing center; and as
nearly four-fifths of the marketed
I've stock shipped ov." the f
Island lines this is an item of great
worth and bearing in considering
the feasibility of such industry.
Enid can be made the market of a
great territory, from which one
million 'hogs are raised annually
In the aBsence of data on the
hogs shipped from Oklahoma and
the Panhandle country to Wichita
ir is safe to say that it represents
one-fourth at least of the entire ra-
ce ipfs.
Following are a few additional
facts that should set even the skep-
tical to thinking along the line of
a great market center for Enid.
Oklahoma furnishes to the Fort
Worth market three and one-fifth
times as many hogs as does all
Texas.
Three-fourths of the hogs that are
marketed at Fort Worth go from
territory to which Enid would b«'
more accessible.
The increase of hogs shipped to
the Fort Worth market the past
three years was in Oklahoma and
that portion of the Panhandle coun-
try that is over one hundred miles
nearer Enid than Fort Worth.

j TO PREPARE PLAN TO
WORK COUNTY PBISONEE/i
The company does not expect to
advertise its waters and sanitarium
but Enid generally and as a summer
and winter lesort. The hotel facili-
ties here are already ample for the
accommodation of over 100 visitors
a week, and If there Is danger
overcrowding, there are st'll a few
vacant lots about the city that
will accommodate hotels.
One of the methods of the com
pany for effei tlvely'advertlslng their
project and getting patients started
this way, also for introducing the
merits of the Waters which will be
bottled and shipped out, is by dis-
posing of stock in small amounts
throughout the country to physi-
cians, druggists, traveling men and
others who are in position to boost
the business Ol the company.
To get the proper prestige and
endorsement of the cltlzeiiB of Enid
which Mr. Mantz regards as im-
perative to enable him to Interest
the outside public In the manner
contemplated it was deemed advis-
able to enroll about 100 of the lead
ing professional and business men of
Enid as stockholders to the extent
of an investment of 110,000. This
is less than the cost of the land
purchased so far. One prominent
gentleman who thinks he knows lo-
cal conditions and the sentiment of
the people, but seems to have for-
gotten that Old Hammer is burled
was positive that it could not be
done. Mr. Mantz has faith enough
in his project and his own ability
to properly present it not to be dis-
couraged In the least. It took the
gentleman just three hours in can-
vassing in two office buildings to
show them that the spirit of the
citizens was right; that they real-
ize the advantages of the enterprise
to the city; that they have faith in
its promoters and their planB and
are willing to back all this up with
a small investment and a hearty
word of endorsement.

The committee of the Old Settlers'
ass iciatlon, which had In hand the
program for the celebration of the
anniversary of the opening of the
Cherokee Strip, reported at a meet-
ing Tuesday night that the program
had been made up and requested hs
meeting to ratify their actions.
A question brought up and ^Is-
( ussed was whether there should be
a band at the picnic. This was
br. ught to a vote aud passed unan-
imously, a number coming forward
and making voluntary contributions
to help defray the expanses. |17.5Q
was added to the treasury and there
ars still many of the members who
are enrolled in the organization who
have uot paid up their dues. This
amount was ordered collected to pay
for badges and the expenses of he
picnic celebration.
The follwing program for the day
was read by Dr. 11. B. McKenzie,
chairman of the entertainment com-
mittee, and passed upon unanimous-
ly by the meeting.

-Colonel Val Johnson was unani-
mously elected as marshal of the

Dr. Kelso as chairman of the con-
stitution and by-laws committee
stated that he would be ready to

was decided that another meating
would be held Friday night, when
the constitution and by-laws would
be ratified. The meeting will Ve
held in the district court room at 8
o'clock.
The meeting held Tuesday night
was one of the most enthusiastic
gatherings since those which had
up to the burial of the big hammer,
evidencing the fact that patriotism
in Enid is yet up to par and then
some.
The old settlers are earnest in
their determination to make Satur-

distinctly understood that everybody
is invited and expected to be present
and enjoy the occasion. All should
bring full picnic baskets for in that
feature is much pleasure anticipated.

gation from that place will come to
Enid to enjoy the festivities. The
Frisco railroad has arranged to take

bration Is over. Salt Fork will send

It is highly probable that a ball
