Guthrie, O. T., Aug. 5.—Con-
gressman MoGuire had nothing to
do with the provision in the Ham-
ilton stateho(xl bill which desig-
nates Guthrie as the capital for
t lie first ton years of statehood.
This fact will lie a hard pill for
the Democratic politicians and
spellbinders to swallow, but fact
it is, none the less, even if it de
stroys the chief argument against
the re-election of Mr. MoGuire.
Ever since the provisions of the
bill, which is to grant statehood to
Oklahoma and Indian Territory,
were made known there have been
Democrats who opposed it, chiefly
liecause it was drawn up by the
Republicans, and they have en-
deavored with might and main to
pick it to pieces. One of the big
flaws they thought they had dis-
cevered was the Guthrie capital
provision. In this they saw or
thought they saw a Republican
scheme to keep the capital at
Guthrie, which is in Logan coun-
ty. the banner Republican county
of the territory. The people of
Oklahoma City, Shawnee and oth-
er towns which want the capital of
the new state have been harrang- have in their cirriculum an ele-
ued into the belief that the locat- mentary work on political econo-
ing of capital at Guthrie for the my. and the science of government

There appeared in the columns
of several of our exchanges, this
week, an editorial charging the
evils of poverty that existH as the
work of the present political sys-
tem. This is not all wrong some
l>eople would say, but to a great
extent it is wrong. The American
(jeople are a peculiar jteople full
of vitality and have an innate de-
sire to go the gates, so to speak.
There are few men that are work-
ing for wages today that do not live
up to the amount of their pay,
and if they are receiving a wage
of fifty dollais a month, they use
it all, if they are receiving a wage
of a hundred dollars, they use it
all. Start the Iwy out right ami
don't set an example of extrava-
gance to him and when he is a
man he will live within his in-

the government, btit teach him to
reason, and when he is a man he
will lie able to take an intelligent
part in the affairs of the govern-
ment. Such is the duty of every
parent, and all the schools should
