the time of going to press a list was not obtainable
but the names of Chas. Dangerfield and Jacob Voor-
hees Jr. ar« ca the list. There was no real
occasion for this census. It was a piece of dilatory
tactics by the Republicans to defeat statehood.
Under the mandates of the Supreme courf of
the territory, itae cases of injunction against the
constitution are not appealable. Mr. Noah cannot
cause further useless delay by trying to carry the
cases up. The Territorial court held that it has no
jurisdiction, hence, there is nothing to carry up to
the I'. S. Supreme court, and Pancoast's decision
amounts to nothing. The convention will sign up
and Gov. Frantz will issue his election proclama-
tion.
The ratio of criminals as to whites and ne
grofs in this city is startling. The negro popula-
tion of Enid is estimated at about 300. The w'jite
population is l(>,00o. There are constantly in our
jail and in the calaboose at least seven negroes to
one white person. Think of the enormous degen-
eracy of the black as compared to the white. The
Republicans are responsible largely for this condi-
tion. Would it not be better to get rid of this
criminally inclined race, even if we have to substi-
tute a lot of ornery white men?

The Democrat wishes to say that its intention
is to do all it can for the betterment of Enid and
our whole country. There is in no department of
this rapidly growing paper a single sentiment that
does not look forward to our greatness and future
prosperity and we want a cleaner city and a purer
administration of its affairs. We venture the pre-
diction that not one man in 500 knows what is our
financial condition. City Clerk Lee has never
made a comprehensive report since his long in-
cumbency of the office. On more than a dozen oc-
casions the writer has asked him questions con-
cerning the past history of bills and accounts and
has never had a satisfactory answer. On one oc
casion he said that the books had been so badly
kept that no reliance could be placed in them and
that he could not make an intelligible report. He
ought to be able to make an intelligible report of
the books since he has been keeping them and a
strong ( ublic opinion asks it. Mr. Lee may be
one of tbebossesof his party. He owes his elec-|
tion to the people and is amenable to them for his
conduct and when the people, whose servant he is,
demand an accounting, he will not undertake to
bridle up and act the boss for, unless he complies,
the people intend to look into the books. Mr. Lee
lias become so entrenched in office that he imagines
that he canuot be jerked loose from the public crib.

It is a fair assumption that Roosevelt has not
changed his mind as to Haywood and comrades
being undesirable citizens.
The iuries in Idaho seem to differ with Mr.
Roosevelt to a certain extent and do not regard Mr.
Haywood as an "undesirable citizen."
The prisoners in the County jail are presumed
to be innocent until proven guilty, hence they arc
■well fed. After conviction the prison authorities
can fix the teed.
Had President Roosevelt said that Harriman,
Rockefeller aid Morgan are undesirable citizens,
the masses of the American people would have
quietly conceded the truth of the statement.
Enid should have a grand celebration ovr the
completion of the new Courthouse. Our citizens
liave all been rejoicing and the country people have
became reconcilia and Mr. Calloway is over whelm-
ed with congratulations for his earnest work in
giving us so fine a structure.
Mr. Hunt, special ccnsus commissioner was here
fbis week and selected the local census tokens. At,
The verdict in the Hayward case seems to be
in a sense a reply to Mr. Roosevelt's bon mot,
"they are undesirable citizens." The verdict will
not perhaps put a stop to that capitalistic influence
which is at the bottom of the terrible condition
which has existed in Colorado and Idaho, but if it
modifies it, some good will be accomplished. Such
has been the unbridled will of capital and its un-
licensed oppressions, that thousands of people who
may be convinced that Hayward, Moyer and Petti-
bone were accessories to the murder of Stunenberg,
will excuse it as a necessary consequence and ap-
plaud the verdict. The wholesale employment by
the combined capital of this country of*ao army of
secret agents and spies to aid them in the accumu-
lation of vast wealth by the oppression of labor is
not to be easily excused. It is practically setting
up within our government another aud an aristo-
cratic government, dominated by an oligarchy of
money. Instead of appealing to the law for their
rights these combined mine owners not only dic-
tated the amount of the output and fixed the price
of ore, but they ignored tha merchants and busi-
ness men and compelled their employees to buy at
the mine stores and at prices fixed by them. They
fixed the price paid to labor and then fixed the
price at which labor had to buy the necessaries of
life. No wonder men rebelled against such a con-
dition.
Chauffers will have to give the citizens some
rights to the streets until the city administration
sees fit to remove the weeds from some of the side
walks. There is a section of side walk on East
Broadway (mind you alongside the new pavement)
that it is impossible to pass through during dry
weather, much less when it is raining or during a
heavy dew. Moreover there is considerable build-
ing and sidewalk construction in different parts ot
the city which closes the sidewalks to pedestrians.
For the most part, the owners and drivetsof auto-
mibiles in Enid are very considerate and accidents
are extremely rare. There are, however, exceptions
to all rules. Only a few days ago while a theatre
party was returning home and avoiding these ob-
structions an automobile came near crashing
through the crowd without warning. He did not
only fail to use the horn which is provided to warn
their approach but was tearing down tne left side
of the street, contrary to all custom and laws in
many states. His explanation was that people had
no right to walk on the streets. If a young would
be chauffer owls the streets it would be better for
the people to refuse paying the street tax and turn
out with hoe and sythe and cut the weeds from the
side walks. It is this class of youngsters that cause
all the adverse laws to the automobilist that owns
aud operates bis machine for business and pleasure
as they have a right to do. I
