Will Have to Muzzle Some

ing, but both its Republicanism
and its thirst for graft which far
exceeds its Republicanism has
earned for it the contempt of
every one who puts the welfare
of the people of the New State
above selfish interests. The
Guthrie State Capital has for
years enjoyed the printing graft
as its part of territorial mis-gov-
ernment and oppression. That
graft amounts to thousands of
dollars Annually received by it
under the guise of printing
"bills" done at exhorbitant
rates. True, it is a matter of
life and death with the Guthrie
State Capital; practically the
very day that home government
comes in at our door, this print-
ing graft will cease and the re-
ceiver will be charged with car-
ing for the Capitol' assets. With
that horrid spectre-the loss of
patronage, storing the Capital in
the face, there is no limit to the
slanderous misrepresentations
with which they would try to
decievethe people should keep
them in bondage no matter what
kind of a State Constitution
were submitted. No constitution
would please the State Capitol
unless it contained a perpetual
guarantee that they should con-
tinue their robbery of the public
treasury.
A Fishiag-Party.
On Tuesday, July 23d, '07, the
"Hayseeds Fishing Club" which
consists of the farmers, their
wives, sons and daughters on
rural telephone line No. 68, went
to Coal Creek to spend the day.
The forenoon was spent in fish
ing. At 1 o'clock a camp fire
was kindled and the fish were
fried and pots of steaming coffee
were made. Soon all were par-
taking of a feast, such as on-
ly farmere' wives and daughters
know how to prepare.
About twenty people ate din-
ner. The afternoon was spent
lounging in the shade, boat-
riding on the creek and telling
fish-stories. Some of the stories
told were bigger than any of the
fish-that were caught. The big
ones all got away.
Nothing happened to mar the
pleasure of the day but once,
when the boat overturned and
its occupants were spilt out in
the water, giving them a good
wetting and a little scare.
Richard Carmichael was row-
ing the boat at the time. We' be duly rewarded,
sometimes wonder if it was an
accident, but only Richard can
tell hapkia lloller.
After naming an early date to
meet again and voting the day
well spent, all left for their vari-
ous homes.

Here Unwrittei Jaws.
Another man was acquitted
last week by virtue of "unwrit-
ten law". That is indeed en-
couraging. There ought to be a
lot more unwritten laws. For
instance; there ought to be one
that would apply to the man who
keeps a good-for-nothing dog, or
a dog that will set out in the
yard and howl all night. There
ought to be an unwritten law
that would allow any duly accred-
ited neighbor of this said man to
enter the said premises with a
good stuffed club and proceed to
make mince meat of the said
good-for-nothing cur.
Then there ought to be an un-
written law that would apply
to the un-neighborly neighbor
who lets his chickens run at large
Both the chicken and the neigh-
bor should be provided for. Then
the town cow ought to be provi-
ded for and the man who asks
"Is it hot enough for you?"
ought to be token off in some
fantastic manner and the party
accompUshing the deed should

The policy of organization for

so far as the organisation is con-
cerned is not an issue: it is solely
interested in securing immediate

the work for campaign will be

AtteaJiaf the Ceaveatite.
W. F. Mc Cague is attending
the Tulsa convention to-day. It
appears to us that Walter is a
trifle light for such heavy work.
Judging from recent republican
conventions, we believe it would
be good policy for each delegate
just to take his own U. S. mar-
shal right along with him, for
company. We would surely do
this if we had been selected as a
delegate. The marshall could do
all necessary voting and we
would roost upon some conveni-
ent window sill, one foot on ei-
ther side, ready to fly any min-
ute. We would get as far from
the colored corner as could con-
veniently be uone and have some
big brave man move that Henry
Asp be haltered and token out
and tied up until the show was
over. If anything started we
could be out and up a tree before
the deputy marshalls could get
their guns in action. There is
nothing like being ready to run
when you smell trouble.

Ice is Scarce. •
Ralston is having the same old
ice famine this year that we
always have during the hot
weather. If sufficient ice could
be had to supply the demand
there is no reason why the ice
busine8ss should not be made a
profitable side line for aome one
during the hot summer months.
As it is those who want ice
cannot get it and have about
quit trying. Those who have to
have it campjon the ice man's
trail and cuss him every time
they get close enough. He has
to go heavily armed and ia
generally accompanied by a
body guard, so it is very un-
pleasant all around. This reminds
us of the man who attended a
picnic somewhere in the wilds of
Arkansas. It was a hot day and
he went to a lemonade stand to
quench his thirst After trying
the lemoHade he handed it back
to the vender with the request
that he put some ice in it, it waa
very warm. The man gave him a
look that was half reproach and
half pity as he said: "Ice!
Gosh all Hemlocks, man, who
ever heard of ice in the summer
time!"

SQUARE DEALING.
Thompson does things in real estate way.
He deals on the square, his snaps are 0. K.
On all city property here in this town, •
Makes prices at present very low down.
Property fine in best part of the state,
Soon will climb up to a much higher rate.
Or if you would list, if you want to sell,
No agent in county will treat you ao well.
Square dealings and tradea sound aa a bell.
Drop in to Thompson if money you need,
On terms he gives satiafaction indeed.
Insurance he writes for companies the beat,
No stronger or better found in the West
Give Thompson a chance to do business for you,
Satisfaction is in it and good money, too.
