THE CAPITAL Ml l>l>U£
Oklahoma City is entirely respon-

capital question that is 1 able t<> be

•'The Merchunl of Venice."
On tomorrow night the menibe
of Class '09, B1 Reno High School,
will produce the annual play in th<
El Reno Theatre. The -piece this
time is in the form of a burlesque on
"The Merchant of Venice." and is
under the direction of Shirley Chap-
man, who has put on several homt
talent successes in El Reno, notably
the White M nstrels, the opera, "The
Isle of Palms," and "My Cousin Tim-
miy, ' by the Class of '07. Mr. Chap-
man assures us that the play wi 1 be
well worth the price of admission.
In addition to the play, smart vaude-
ville stunts will be introduced by
members of the class between acts

pecting its leadership to be recog-

It is discriminating.

City. Shawnee and (Incline. El Reno,
Enid. Chickasha ( Muskogee, Pulsa
and otJher towns that have at times
Indicated a desire to enter the ion-
test, are barred. Those towns who
are named were not consulted ami
the terms of their candidacy are the
terms of Oklahoma City, their rival.
Another feature of the proposed
bill that can but meet disapproval
is the section provided that the cost
of the second capital election be met
by the city receiving the second
largest number of votes.
Does Oklahoma City believe that
the people of this state are not able
to meet the cost of an election that
determines a state-wide issue? Does
it consider the state capital a person-
al or a public institution '
Does it hope to convince the peo-
ple that they are in error when the
public demand is made to forego un-
necessary elections and unnecess
expense? Does it ihelieve the people
are not tired of tbis continuous cam-
paigning?
If Oklahoma City desires co-opera-
tion from the other towns that have
a right to exist, and a right to par-
ticipate in public affairs, let her call
a delegate body representing even
town that has ca (Vital aspirations. I/et

Let the bill 100 k to the settlement
of this issue at regular elections
not at expensive s(>ecial events. Let
the first vote be on general primary

the honor the expense of defeat, and
thus placing equally upon the peo-
ple of the state the cost of settling

/"V RADUATION is an event in every
Cr boy's or girl's life that will lie remem-
bered always. A Rift from father and moth-
er should be of such value as to mark this
day forever. Something that the son or
daughter may refer to all their lives as fath-
er's and mother's graduation present. A
watch is the gift ideal for the pur|>ose. A
handsome inscription engraved on the inside
lid marks forever the occasion of the gift.
We are showing a complete line of watches pur-
chased especially for graduation nifts They repre-
sent the highest quality of workmanship both as to
case and movement, and are the "everlasting" kind.

of showing this selection to every father and
