Entered at the Postofflce In Claremore
Okla., as second cass mail matter.
We wonder if Omer Benedict
thinks the Governor a much
Abused man.
'Possum, Persimmons, Pro-
gress and Prosperity. The ban-
quet of peas.
The town of Nowata is going
right ahead to rebuild since last
week's fire. Their spirit is to
be commended.
For a man who says he isn't
tried until he gets in Court,
Citizen Haskell is doing a great
deal of trying his own case in
the newspapers.
State Geologist Gould is try
ing to find a number of fossils in
Oklahoma. We could tell him of
a few peaches, but a few Clare-
more merchants who won't even
see this might be mad if he told
them we told him.
In another column of this pa-
per appears an article contribut-
ed by "A Farmer Kid" regard-
ing the county bridge on Dog
Creek east of town. The bridge
is all to the good, but owing to
the fact that the approach on
neither side has been built it
would necessitate a jump of sev-
eral feet to get on the bridge to
cross. On account of this all
the people coming to Claremore
must of necessity go two miles
south of the bridge to get across.
The Messenger does not expect
the county Commissioners to do
anything it advocates if they
can help it (petty politics, may-
be?) but wants the people
east of Dog Creek to get relief.
Where there is any economy in
spending hundreds of dollars
for a bridge and then to save a
few dollars neglect to build ap
preaches so the bridge can be
«Md. we fail to realise.
Regarding "Let the People
Rule."
In Oregon a primary law is in
effect, which provides that the
man who receives the largest
number of votes for United
State Senator shall be elected
by the legislature. During the
election the past year the re-
publicans elected a majority of
the legislature, and a democrat
received tho highest number of
votes for Senator. It was a
matter of honor with the legis
lature, and the republican ma-
jority elected the successful can-
didate from the opposite party.
In the campaign a year ago wo
heard much in Oklahoma of the
"election of Senators by direct
vote of the people" and "let the
people rule." However, the
name of the republican candi
date for senator was not allow-
ed to go on the ticket for the
general election. Furthermore,
a bill to put this to a direct vote
of the people was introduced in
the Oklahoma legislature Janu-
ary 9ib, and when called for
last week, the motion was tabled.
The Messenger favors the elect-
ion of senator by a direct vote,
and realizes that the matter so
far has been strangled in the
U. S. Senate by a body of men
not one of whom have been elect
ed by the people, and know the
people want a vote on Senator.
Fear of losing a Senator is all
that keeps us from it, and
some man who is apolitical boss,
but is arfaid of the people, may
be back of it.
After the perverseness of the
Oklahoma legislature in refus-
ing to pass Mr. Wortman's bill
providing for electrocution as
the legal method of execution in
Oklahoma, we'll be hanged if we
aro ever executed in Oklahoma.
The lire at No wala last week
in which the register of deeds'
books, the county court files,
and the district court tiles and
books were destroyed, should
make people of Rogers County
realize more than ever what the
matter of a new court house
means. It is true we are in bet
ter shape than Nowata for a fire,
because our county commission
ers have been thoughtful
enough to provide some safes
for the offices, but nevertheless
afire in Rogers County would
cost thousands of dollars to the
tax payers should the court
house burn. A day fire would
be disastrous because there
would be a doubt whether there
would be time to get the records
out and or stored away, and one
at night would burn many
things which have no room in
the vault or the safes, such as
district court records. It may
seem like spending lots of money
to put up a court house now, but
inasmuch as it must come soon
why not do it now, and feel safe
and be safe?
while to attend just to hear the Col-
onel. Tlie gentlemen conducting
the sale offer to let anyone having
any horses which they would like to
run through the sale ring bring them
in, and the Colonel will sell them for
them. This Is a good chance for
anyone desiring to sell an animal to
work it otT. as the sale has been
widely advertised all over this corner
of the state and many buyers are ex-
pected from .adjoining towns.

INDIGESTION ENDS.

goes in live Minutes.
It seems to be the general
opinion that the governor's
special tax inspectors' work wiil
come to naught. The governor
will be defied by Muskogee
county where the assessment is
ordered cut, the county attorn-
ey rendering an opinion that the
assessment is legal aad needed.
Rogers County, we are inclined
to believe, will let its tax levy
stand, unless shown that it is
illegal. We, also, need the
money. However, the appoint-
ment of these inspectors gave a
few more men jobs.
THE BIG HORSE SALE.
Some Fine Horses lo Be Sold, and Chances
lor Farmers to Buy lor Spring.
Next Friday and Saturday Clare-
more will be the center of one of the
greatest horse sales ever held in this
country. At this time Messers God-
bey. Eaton and Ailton will putupa
number of animals, principal among
which will be two large Perclieron
stallions, which have been seen on
the streets here last year. Both are
pedigreed animals and finely built,
proven breeders. The large Missouri
Jack will also be a leading attraction
and much spirited bidding is expect-
ed. Besides these special at-
tractions there will be horses to suit
all. Good work horses, saddlers, cow
ponies and brood mares. Col. Clot-
felter, of Cherryvale will swing the
hammer. He is an old experienced
auctionner, and has made sales or
horses a specialty. It will be worth

The Toy Maker's Dream.

sented to the people of Claremore

Claremore was indeed fortunate to be
able to see it at our opera house.
