The Democrat's 'Plione is No. 384.
NOVEMBER 27, 1907.
Entered as second class matter October 25,
190b, at Enid, Okla. under the act olcongress
of March 3, 1879.
Reports from New York con-
tinue to be about the same, but
financial policy there seems to be
to keep all the money away from
the western banks.
The president has signified his
intentions to appoint four con-
sulates from Oklahoma. We did
not think there were that many
rough-riders in this country out
of a job.—Hornet.
No one envies Chas. Hunter in
nailing a fat life position but
there are so many worthier men
that it is a criticism of the Re-
publican party that it rewards
only the schemers and tricksters.
Charles Hunter has been noti-
fied that he must resign the
chairmanship of the Republican
state committee. It is against the
rules of the civil service law and
Charley knew it, but he has gall
enough to go up against any-
thing.
The district of Mr. Sturgis is
not yet established. It may con-
tain ten or eleven counties. He
does not want to have Woodward
and Beaver included as the dis-
tance is too great. It looks now
as though the major portion of
his time will be taken up by the
affairs of the office.
Think about what the home
paper means to you and yours.
It means all the interesting news
of the community, of your neigh-
bors and friends; of the churches
and schools; of every thing in
It looks as though Senator
Foraker has the majority of the
delegates to the nest state con-
vention secured and that he will
defeat the Taft men. It looks
as if Roosevelt is not dealing
fairly by his friends or else he
has lost control of Ohio. He
allowed Burton to be defeated by
Tom Johnson and if Taft is
turned down then what will
Roosevelt do for a candidate
unless he butts in himself.
Mr. Bryan's head is level. He
can see that at this time a postal
savings system would not relieve
the financial condition. People
who deposited would be taking
that much money out of circula-
tion. The only thing to recom-
mend it is that it would give the
people a safer depository than
the banks. Mr. Bryan says: "I
do not know what the effect
of the new bond issue will be,
but it seems to me that the relief
ought to come from other direc-
tions. The administrarion is
prepared, so we are informed, to
recommend a postal savings bank.
While this would doubtless en-
courage depoits, and while these
deposits could in turn be handed
over to the banks$ it does not
furnitfh complete relief, because
the plan as presented limits de-
posits to $250 for one person tor
one year, und does not contemplate
the opening of checking accounts.
The business community, there-
fore, can not use the postal sav-
ings banks to any great extent,
and besides it would take some
ti me to inaugurate a postal sav-
i ngs system and secure the neces-
sary number of employes to make
the plan effective throughout the
country. I believe it is possible
for the government to give im-
mediate relief by an act of Con-
gress, providing for the guar-
antee by the government of all
deposits in national banks, the
banks thus guaranteed to agree
to reimburse the government for
any losses incurred, and to make
this reimbursement in proportion
to their deposits.

Don't jou think tR.' was
is a good thing to have?
Oklahomaalonehas within her
borders and in sight, crops and
coal to limber up Wall street and
stop this infernal foolishness if
the government had not given
them a tariff club which prevents
us selling in the best market. If
t he west once loosens the grip of
that eastern oligarky she will
strangle it or drive it to honest
methods.
"It would be interesting to
know by just what route those
learned judges of the sup/etue
bench ot Iowa arrived at the de~
cisiou, recently handed down,
that a woman's stocking is not
the proper place to carry .uoney."
—Oklahoman. It might be per-
tinent in this connection to in-
quire whether the Iowa judges
became cognizant of a fact so in-
teresting oy actual inspection.
C. H. Pittman was asked by
the Democrat as to the authen-
ticity of the newspaper statement
that he is to be Senator Gore's
private secretary. He says that
it is emphatically untrue, that he
does net want it and that it would
not suit him at all, The salary
is about $2,000 a year, but he can
make more than that and lead a
uiore agreeable life. Mr, Pitt-
man will be at Guthrie a good
portion of the winter.
J. S. Shoemaker familiarly
known here as "Shu," has been
appointed a United States Com-
missioner for Enid. It was be-
lieved that this lucrative posi-
tion would go to some such
old, true and iried wheelhorse
as don'tcareadamhowyouwin V.
Whiting. But Charley Hun-
ter downed Whiting at Tulsa
and later discovered Cotteral,
lience he is the kingmaker.
Charley oncc licked Shoemaker's
/athcr-in-law and this is perhaps
a peace offering to the surging
Wave.
notice that Guthrie's
1-^ior was Unusually white Satur
day? Even the color gentry of
Guthrie refrained from pushing
anyone off the sidewalk.—Ex.
Governor Folk, in his speech
at the Jamestown Exposition, on
Missouri day, hit the stand patters
oil a sore spot when he said "A
tariff deliberately designed to
create monopoly and to give a
few people the right to prey upon,
the rest of the people is prohibit-
ed bv the moral .law—the law of
conscience." —Ex.
We don't believe half the stories
we hear about Frantz and Haskell
refusing to ride together. There
is not a more forgiving spirit in
the world than Frank Frantz.
This has been demonstrated on
various occasions by his appoint-
ments and endorsements of men
for positions whose language
about him would make what Has-
kell has said look like Sunday
School literature.—Hornet
Fred E. Reams of Green Ridge,
Mo., renews his subscription to
The Commoner, and pays in a
medium of exchange once popular
in the west. Noting the kind of
currency in vogue now Mr. Ream
sends a coonskin and says:
'•Kindly send me The Commoner
one year. Piease find enclosed
the coming standard of curren-
cy." The coon skin currency has
been placed in a safe place and
will be used when needed.—Com-
moner,
It is one of the curious features
of the financial stringency that
men who were loudest in their
condemnation of William J.Bryan
and his free silver fallacy are
now writing to the president and
to the newspapers, demanding
financial legislation which would
result in as great inflation as the
unlimited coinage of silver at 16
to 1. Ot course were such legis-
lation adopted many of these men
would be the first to appreciate its
dangers but for the present they
have lost their heads completely.
— Garber Sentinel
Attorney General's Assistants.
General Attorney West has
selected the follo-ving as his as-
sistant: : W. J. Crump, of Mus
kogee, to attend to liquor ques-
tions; Fielding Lewis of McAl-
ter, to manage the coal suits on
1 he east side; and for general
matters, Judge Spillman ol King-
fisher, George Henshaw of
Madill, and Mont Highly of Ok-
lahoma City.
The coal operators seem to
grow more defiant and more op-
pressive each day. They have
now made a rule that dealers shall
not remove coal unless paid for
before being unloaded. Mer-
chants are indignant and willgive
Mr. West all the assistance in
their power to win the cases. It
is Mr. West's determination that
the coal trust shall sell coal at
reasonable rates and cease the
extortion now being practiced.
It is now much easier to force
them to do right than when we
had the poor makeshift of the
interstate commerce laws, admin-
istered by a bureaucratic crowd
which was subsidized by the
trusts and the railroads. Unless
the operators become reasonable
Mr. West will force the coal
mines iuto the bauds of receivers,
and in our state courts there is a
chance for justice against these
robbers and oppressors of the
people. Mr. West has gone into
this gigantic fight with vim and
courage and it is probable that
he has selected for his assistants
men like himself who are not to
be deflected from the path of
duty by any corrupt offers.
Earl Croxton To Be M'Gure's Sec-
retary
Guthrie, Okla., Nov. 22.—Earl
Croxton, the Oklahoma corres-
pondent for the Wichita Eagle,
has been selected by Congressman
Bird S. McGuire as his private
secretary, and'Mr. Croxton will
leave for Washington, D. C., next
week, withCongessman McGuire.
Croxton's first newspaper work
was on the Wichita Eagle a num-
ber of years ago, Later he served
first as city editor of the State
Capital, au g a year ago began
work as correspondent for the
Eagle. During the last cam
paign he was Congressman Mc-
Guire's press agent. Mrs. Crox-
ton and son will accompany him
to Washington. The' selection
of Croxton by Mr. McGuire is
considered an excellent one by
the congressman's friends.
It must be conceded that in is-
suing a Thanksgiving day proc-
lamation as his last official act,
ex Governor Frantz was guilty
of what the lawyers call ultra
vires, that is, going beyond his
legal powers. Unless Governor
Haskell supplements it with
another one, the Indian Territory
part of Oklahoma will have to
eat its turkey under the message
of the president. Governor
Frantz had no authority what
ever except in old Oklahoma
However, the turkey will taste
just as good in Sequoyah as if
Thanksgiving Day had been
proclaimed under statehood.—
Wichita Beacon.
Gun Play
For the first time in years there
was a gun play on the streets of
Okeene last Thursday afternoon
in which the principle actors
were Jack Renshaw and Charlie
Evans. It seems that some one
had carried the story to Mr. Ren-
shaw that Charlie Evans had
threatened to kill him, and when
Mr. Evans came to Mi. Renshaw's
barn and spoke to him he covered
him with a big Colt's revolver
and made a few remarks about
what he would do. Just what
the out-come would have been if
other parties had not interfered
and stopped the trouble, we cau
not say. Mr. Evans was unarmed
except for an ordinary pocket
knife such as nearly every man
carries, and when interviewed in
regard to the trouble positively
denied ever making any threats
against Mr. Renshaw's life.—

PASS IT UP
I Subscribe lor the Democrat.
"Everybody walks but father,
He rides around all day,
His mogul on a railroad,
He doesn't have to pay.
Sister Bailie's walking,
So is Brother Will,
And so's the whole dam family,
Since Hepburn passed his bill."
Practical i-arm Tlioutits-
W. M. Bollen, a farmer of
Marsden county, has been elected
county commissioner of Love coun
ty, but this county oflice will not
detract him from his love for the
farm. He has given considerable
thought to the care of fruit trees.
In speaking of the care of trees
he said when the bark of the fruit
tree begins to show si^ns of get-
ting rough and breaking that the
body of the tree should be covered
with a composition composed of
one quart of lime to one-half ounce
of carbolic acid. From now until
February is the time to prune
trees, both fruit and shade trees.
The rule for pruning is to cut off
one-third of last spring's growth.
Mr. Bollen says that Irish pota-
toes cau be saved as successfully
in the field as any where else.
Instead or digging the potatoes,
cover them during the summer
months with grass and hay to
protect them from the sun and in
the fall before cold weather wrap
them up with a turning plow.
In speaking of winter onions he
says that it they are covered dur-
ing the cold months with hay
that thev will continue to grow
and will be crisp and tender.—Ex
The Indians' Land.
When the tribal relations of
Indians in the Indian Territory
were broken up and the Indians
were compelled to select allot-
ments it was a wise provision of
congress which provided that the
full-blood Indians should not dis
pose of their lands. Recently
there has been a demand on the
part of the Indian Territory sec-
tion of the new state to have
these restrictions removed. The
object is evidently to get clear of
the Indians in the new state.
The speech of Moty Tiger, prin-
cipal chief of the Creek Nation
before Transmississippi Commer-
cial Congress in session at Musko-
gee is to the point. He speaks the
truth when he says many of them
are unable to take care of their
property.
While the Indians may be cit-
izens of the new state.it should
not be forgotten that they are
still entitled to some protection on
the part of the general govern-
ment. They should atleast have
their treaty rights, and one of
those treaty rights seems to be
that they shall retain title to their
lands for a period of twenty-one
years. —Wichita Eagle
This must be a real panic
The banks in New York and
other large cities are using clear-
ing house certificates instead of
money, and nearly all the savings
banks are refusing to pay deposi-
tors, and most of the banks will
only let you have enough of your
money to buy necessities. For a
real live panic this beats 1903,
and nearly equals the republican
panic of 1873. And yet the re-
publican national platform de-
clared that a republican tariff
has always been followed by
business prosperity, President
Roosevelt enlarged on this false
boast.—Pawnee Courier.
Dr. Laird, who gave a week's
show in Shattuck in September,
shot himself at Shwnee a few
days ago.
The little girl who appeared on
the stage in Shattuck was a
daughter of the doctor, and while
performing at Shawnee she fell,
breaking her neck. The doctor
picked her up, carried the body
off the stage and found she was
dead. He placed a pistol to his
temple and blew his brains out,
dying instantly.-Shattuck Square
