The Democrat's 'Phone is No. 384.
OCTOBER 23.. 1907.
Entered as seeond class matter October 25,
1906, at Enid. Okla. under the act of congress
oi March 3, 1879.
Gov. Haskell delivered an elo-
quent address before the great
Fanners' Association at Oklaho-
ma City last Friday and received
an ovation. Republican papers,
which before the election could
find no terms abusive enough to
characterize him, are now vieinp
with eachother to sing his praises.
It goes without sayings that all
the west half of Oklahoma should
endorse the candidacy of Jesse
Dunn as Chief Justice of the Su
preme Court. He has fairly won
it not only as a reward ot party
service, but by the fact that he
has exemplified his eminent fit-
ness for the place as a jurist and
good citizen.
As we gather it from interpre-
tations of the Enabling Act and
the constitution, all the county
officers elected September 17, will
at once enter upon their duties
with the advent of statehood.
The certificates of election have
already been issued t them and
all that will be needed to au-
thorize them to assume their du-
ties, will be the oath of office and
a sufficient bond.
It looks as though a literary
bureau has been inaugurated to
push Judge Garber for the judge-
ship of the western district. A
Watonga article, witty and well
written, appeared in the Okla-
hornati some days since likening
the struggle to a horse race in
which Cromwell is left asleep at
the pole, while Burwell, lJurford,
Gillette, As;; afld Irwin are all
left scattered along the track,
while the dark horse, Milton C>
Garber, passes uudcr the wire.
M. C. Garber is a militant
jurist. lie uotied Judge Bierer
after court adjourned one even
ing that if the insults he indulged
in toward the court had been of-
fered outside the court he would
have resented them by doing
Bierer "great bodily harm." He
then in a general way warned
the bar that be would not stand
for such unprofessional conduct.
He is right utid he should also
sit hard down on the attorney
who nags and insults witnesses.
actually a
didate for U. S. judge of the
western district. Cromweli's
trilling with the Cases against
corporations and his absolute fai'-
ure to call the all-hog coal baions
to a halt indicates that he will
not lack their support. He would
be a feeble and dangerous man on
the bench. He is not rated as a
jurist 0t more than mediocre parts
and the instability of his politi-
cal views mark him a man of too
little firmness to be safely trust-
ed. Whatever reasons Mr. Crom-
well may give for deserting re-
publicanism and embracing pop-
ulism, then becoming a Demo-
crat, then again embracing re-
publicanism, he cannot deny that
all these acrobatic feats occurred
at a critical hour when by chang-
ing he could get a nomination to
an office of profit and honor. In J
the hour when the eagles of vic-
tory perched on the banners of |
the enemy, he gently detached
himself from his benefactors and
sought service to fight his former
comrades. This instability of
purpose and the mercenary and
selfish motives inducing it. are
Urgent reasons why the serious
and responsible trust of constru
ing the laws and deciding the
equity of causes should not be
placed in his hands. It is not
unmetr that he should have the
endorsement of such men as
Gov. Frantz and Chas. Hunter.
A fellow feeling makes us wond-
rous kind.
Chas. Hunter has rammed his
big bluff against a stone wall.
All the bettei class of republican
papers have dealt in ridicule and
sarcasm to an extent that would
have pierced the epidermis of a
paocliTderm'and it had to be put
strong to teach him that even the
tnwt selfish element ot his last
party had repudiated him. He
hoped to gain a sort of notoriety
which will not now profit him.
He wrecked his party (that is the
oue he is now training with) by
his bad management and he
■should be invalided.
W. O. Cromwell was in Enid
this week. This induces this
paper to ask him why, if Chas.
J. West was doing his duty in-
telligently and energetically
when assistant attorney general,
he was discharged? It was well
known that nothing of an ag
gressive nature tending to cure
the apprehensions of capital had
been attempted. Now, if the
grafters crowd was sincere, if it
was really iutended to punish
the corporations foi flagrant vi-
olations of law, why not have
permitted West to proceed? Mr.
West would have made a show
ing that would have not only
shamed Cromwell and his asso-
ciates, but would have exposed
their criminal negligence in fail-
ing to enforce the law. The peo-
ple saw it and thev have put
West to the front by a large and
signal majority and endorsed his
course while haudicapped and
struggling against adverse!
scheming and the indifference of!
his superiors. This vote is also
a stern rebuke to Frantz, Crom-
well, Hunter and the machine
generally. It is noticed that the
people want no more dictation
from the attorney of the corpora-
tions. Yet this man, Cromwell,
is a candidate for U. S. iudge of
the western district. His only
hope is corporation influence.
Wunttd to Lick the Editor.
A street car conductor named
I<ewis now h;ts a police record |
which he could have avoided bv I
acting in a gentlemauly manner, j
He objected to an article id the!
Events which scored him for hav-
ing carried an aged lady a block
beyond her residence which com-
pelled her to walk back. Instead
of going to the editor in a manly
way and asking an explanation
or a retraction, which would have
been cheerfully given if the ed-
itor was wrong, he entered the
office like a whirlwind and with
curses demand to see the
-— — who wrote the
article. He was cited to go to
the postoffice, where he could find
the editoi, but he did not seem
to have lost him. A young lady
was seated in the Events office
and was shocked at his bad lan-
guage. He was arrested, taken
into police court and promptly
fined by Judge Vorhees $25 and
the costs. Supt. Cline looked in
to the case at once and discharged
Lewis. He may be a competent
conductor so far as the mere, per-
functory duties of the position
go.but it presents to a good man a
thousand opportunities to do lit-
tle acts of kindness and courtesy
which are expected not only by
his employers but by the public.
Public service corporations are
not on the same ground with pri-
vate concerns and employes

Numerous applicants are now
springing up for all the places in
the gilt of the governor. The
Democrat has only this to say. luraHt>,
speaking not only lor its editor,
but for the true and faithful
masses of the party, that the
staunch and stalwart workers of
the party should be first consid-
ered. We had a lot of cutnp fol-
lowers and half hearted people
who had to be patted on the back
aud coddled to keep them from
bolting. iVe had another con-
tingent who said nothing and did
nothing. They were waiting to
see which way the cat would
jump. It will be found that the
most persistent applicants lor
these places will come from these
classes, A true, loyal Democrat
Jhould have first consideration.
It is predicted that the legisla-
ture will not be found a ligid
prohibition body. Many of the
members are opposed to it, but
owing to the fact that the liquor
interests meddled with the elec-
tion and voted against the con-
stitution and Haskell, they can-
not expect much favorable legis-
lation. A sentiment seems to
prevail that the only way to keep
the liquor interests out of politics
>s to put them out of business.
Both parties are agreed on this
The official \ote puts Haskell's
at 2JS.788 and Frantz
led his ticket by 0,000.
The Pawnee-Osage bar asso-
ciation has endorsed Hon. Bayard
T. Hainer for U. S. District
Iudge of the western district.
The liouor dealers' association
will go into court in order to dc
lay prohibition and thry hope to
defeat the proposition so far as
Oklahoma is concerned. Their
efforts will prove fruitless.
Matters are being rapidly at-
ranged at Guthrie for the change
to statehood, which will occur
not later than November IS. All
county officials are preparing
their filial report.

They were enthusiastically re-

"Pluvius? Why, Pluvlus Is a family |

Pluvlus on his father's side."
But I thought it had something to
do with rains?"
"Eh? Oh, that's different. That's
another Pluvlus. He was an early
Roman emperor. They always called
him Pluvy for short. He named him-
self Jupiter because he was a good
deal struck with his Job as emperor."
"Did he have anything to do with
rains?"
Of course he did. His reign was
one of the longest on the Roman cal-
endar."
"Thank you, dear."
