The Democrat does not touch upon the Isen
berg incident, wherein he was arrested for making
an indignant protest against certain proceedings
of the council, with the purpose of defending him
for his impatient protest against its action in cer
tain matters. The sentiment is now widespread
that the council is getting to speedy for the natural
and healthy growth of Enid. It is a public body
answerable to the people for its acts and it is a la-
mentable that it has imbibed the idea that it is the
•'boss" of public affairs and that it should have a
code of ceremonial where the citizen with a griev-
ance must enter with bowed head and hutnble mien
end kneel at the foot of the throne, and in measured
terms lay his petition in the hands of prime minis-
ter Lee or the other despot who sits there. This is
a Democratical government and the members of
that council are not the bosses, but the servants,
of the people. If Mr. Iscnberg made an indignant
inquiry as to who is responsible for certain evils,
no paid andlivered functionary had ihe right under
the law to violently expel him from an assembly of
the servants of the people. Brute force is no part
•f a good city administration, and when it is re-
sorted to and sane*, j led it leads to tyranny and
absolutism. The fact is that both the Wave and
the Democrat have felt the results of personal re-
sentment on the part of that body. Because neither

paper would stoop to a base subserviency to the
councils demands, both were toycotted. The pa-
pers were liouest enough to speak out to the people
regarding many outrageous things going on under
the nose of the council and, as a result the editor of
one paper was threatened with assault by a big fat)
bully in livery and the editor of the other violent!' i
forced out of the august presence of the star chain-! A compt

TERIAL at reasonable prices,
In another place wil 1 be found the portrait ot I-
Judge Eagleton, our able and eloquent nominee
for congress, who not only the Democrats but nu-
merous republicans hope and pray will defeat the
weak tool of the corporations, Bird McGuire. Mr.
McGuire in the minds of all men is an arrant
hypocrite. Mr. Eagleton made one of the best
speeches we have ever heard lor years from a
candidate for congress. He was clear, forcible,
and logical, courteous in his utterances as to his
opponent, but in his denunciation of the trusts,
the railroads infamous rates and the actions of the
vast combinations of capital now oppressiLg our
peoplp and all of which ars supporting McGuire
he convinced his audience of his worth and ability.
He won many votes.
This paper regrets that Chas. Moore of Wauko-
mis, the traditional enemy of Enid, is not in this
district. He would not get enough votes to form a
corporal's guard. He is so narrow that he has ad-
justed himself to a little provincial community
outside the boundaries of which nothing exists for
which he cares a continental. His ideas are so con-
stricted that in his selfish egoism he imagines
that all things center in the little political baili-
wick ot which he is the boss. Should Drummond
or Lahoma, or Fairmont or Douglas or any other
prosperous little village ask for some favor from
the legislature he would be found turning them all
down for Waukomis alone. No man so narrow
should be entrusted with a power so great.

The turning down of Mr. Davis for a renomina
tion for commissioner retired one of the most
honest and faithful wen who ever served on the
board of commissioners. During his incumbency
he and our splendid nominee, Mr. M. M. Callaway,
became warm personal friends, both being united
on a policy to conserve the best interests of Gar
field county, and both being plain, honest, common
citizens of the county. The plot to defeat Epley
probably led somewhat to the downfall of Davis
Charley Moore of Waukomis, before the court
house was built, we are informed on good authori-
ty, called the enterprise a "steal" and threatened
Mr. Davis that if he voted for it, he would put the
"prod" to him. Well he seems to have succeeded.
Wilson the Republican nominee for commissioner,
is{ a chum or friend of Moore and they think
through the same quill.
The editor of the Events in homeric humor, last
week stated: "The Events crosses the Rubi;on and
is marching on Rome," or words to that effect.
This is classic. Having crossed the Rubicon and
with panoplied banners and the glittering eagles
of Bird McGuire did you not meet the Roman Pro-
consul with his gorgeous legions of the Empire
clothed in impenetrable and splendid armor and
go down under the tread of an invincible foe?
You are too late to surrender. Nothing is now
left you but an honorable death. Fall oh your
sword and let it penetrate you from your appendi-
citis to your chylopoietic duct and thus pierce the
region where your brains are located. Garber is
proconsul. He will doubtless bring tew captives
home to Rome but Purcell will lead the proces-
sion.
Speaking of crossing the Rubi con, the Events,
when veiling its intentions by classic quotation, is
reminded that it would have been wiser to follow
the wisdom of the leader of its party. While he is
not the only Phasarius in the camp, as he steals
back alone down the Appian Way, on either side
of which he will find hundreds of his deluded
followers crucified, many of whom have torn
their arms loose from the cruel nails and had died
headlong, gasping, some still alive, he will travel
that gruesome road alone back to a camp of in-
ternecine strife and humbly prostrate himself and
beg forgiveness when it is too late to retrieve the
disaster he is responsible for.

The spcech of Ko.bert L. Owen was listen:d to
with rapt attention by a large audience which as-
sembled in front of the court house last Saturday
evening. Mr. Owen is one of the ablest and best
informed uien iu the twin territories His ex-
perience as an attorney for the Indian tribes and
his distinguished success gave him a national repu-
tation. He is one of the brainiest men of the
brainy west. He will go to the senate unhamp-
ered by the harness of the trusts. He is the friend
of labor and of laboring men, the friend of the
farmer, and in his spcech there was the most caus-
tic criticism of the manner in which the farmer has
been lobbed and held up. He made it so clear that
even the little boys saw the point. Mr. Owen
will be a distinguished tigure iu the next senate.
