the oity and as such it is your
duty to help secure the right kind
of men to attend the city affairs
as much as it the duty of the
representative after he is elected
to do that which is best for the
city. _________
The Oklahoman seems to keep
pace with the progress of Okla-
homa and Oklahoma City, for it
has addeed to its already effioient
news service, the Hearst leased
wire dispatches.
Single men know nothing of
the pleasures to be derived from
a happy home. Neither do some
married men.
The visit which our fleet is to
make Japan will probably put a
atop to the talk of war that some
people seemed prone to make.
Did you notice in the Times
Journal cartoon the way in
which all the other prospective
candidates were frowning so de-
jectedly at Bryan's oonndent
smile. ■
Henry Starr seems to be doing
k good business now. Some of
the officers in ihe eastern part of
the state ought to be proud of
this fact.
An explanation of the long re-
publican reign in Oklahoma is
offered in the Alfalfa county
election fraud that was brought
to light last week.
Some merchants encourag«|
credit business by giving their |
customer a present when he payai
his bill. The man who pays cash
as he goes gets no present.
The man who is ashamed to go
into the business place of the
man he owes to do what trading
lie has in that line, is not deserv-
ing of the accommodation accord-
ed him. •
These Wall street guys who
are trying to make the boom for
Johnson Burely think that people
have forgotten them in connec-
tion, with the Judge Parker defeat
foOr year ago.
The fractional fight in this
town has ended and now is the
time for every one to express
themselves as to how the oity
affairs will be conducted. Shall
we be governed by a set of law
maker* or a set of law breakers.
You are one of the citizens of
The best thing we can do now
to help our town is to elect the
right kind of officers for the com-
ing term. If we don't get the
right men to run we can not ex-
pect to elect them.
These are weary days for
••Teddy" for he has all these
things he has been using the big
stick on, bobine up all around
him as well as the fear of being
called a piker on his third term
speech.
Why should the school land of
the new state not be sold and the
lessees given a chance to have a
home which they can call their
own? This money would be as
secure if loaned on Oklahoma
I farms and would bear as much
j revenue to the state school fund
I as it does under present condi-
tions. ___________
I The speech of Senator La Fol-
I lette on the Aldrich currency bill
' was so thin that Senator Gore
I could see through it though he is
blind, which fact he proved by
interupting the gentlemen from
Wisconsin and asking if he did
not think that President Roose-
velt and Secretary Cortleyou
were star performers, or at
i least that they congratulated the
men who brought on the recent
panic. ___________
The last member of the Okla-
homa delegation in the house of
representatives to make his first
speeoh was Congressman Charles
D. Carter, of the Fifth District.
His subject was Indian legislation
and he was full of his subject.
Since Mr. Carter is of Indian blood
and has lived in Indian Territory
from birth, there is probably not
a man in the house who is better
informed on matters relating to
his people than Mr. Carter. His
speech was a carefully prepared
effort, and it served tt inform the
members of the lower house of
congress about conditions in the
eastern half of the new state.
Especially were his remarks di-
rected to his own bill removing
the restrictions from lands of cer-
tain of the Indians who are fully
and well prepared to manage
their own affairs. He was greet-
ed with applause at many stages
of his speech, and at the conclu-
j sion wa« warmly congratulated
I by his colleagues.

There has been quite a liberal
response to the circular letters
which we mailed concerning sub-
scription but there are a great
many who have failed to attend
to this matter yet. We do not
want to seem unjust to any one
tin this matter but it is absolutely
necessary for us to have an un-
derstanding with you on it. We
j find in many cases that the state-
ments which we mailed are in-
correct and have stood in readi-
ness to make the correction and
are waiting to make any thing
right with you that is not all
right. If you are not in a posi-
tion to pay your subscription ac-
count now, please call and see us
and we will be glad to make ar-
rangements with you: otherwise
we will be compelled to strike
your name from our list the
first of April. But we would ask
you to remember that will not
settle your account. It will be
as much your duty to pay for
what you have received after
your paper has been discontin-
ued as it is now. Please let this
have your attention.
GEARY, k GOOD PLACE TO LIVE.
There are some people in and
around Geary who do not realize
how many natural advantages
are heaped upon this vicinity, i
Besides being a good market!
place and railroad center located
in such a fine scope of country,
this is one of the most desirable
homes to be had for a man of
moderate means.
There are few places where
the laboring man can enjoy the
sports that we are afforded here
and we fail to appreciate until it
is too late.
A short drive, or even a walk
of a few miles will take you from
town down through fertile North
Canadian bottom to the lakes and
river where there is good duck
shooting in season, which :s fol-
lowed by the arrival of the cur-
lew, a fine game bird, near the
same size and plumage of a
prairie chicken, with a beak from
five to eight inches long and
about the size of a rye straw.
This bird in shape and habit
greatly resembles the plover
which arrives shortly after his
departure and furnishes sport
until time for fiehing and swim-
ming.
The North and South branches
of the Canadian, only a few miles
distance on either side of town
have white sand bottoms which
make swimming a great pleasure.
The river banks are well border-
ed with fine shade trees that
make camping and picnicing a
rare treat which people of some
cities would think a treat indeed.
A pleasant drive of eight miles
will take you to "the caves"
where the sights are well worth
your while to see. All these
things are here for our pleasure
in the summer and when autumn
comes bearing with it yield of
the lands about us, it also brings
us the greatest sport of all, one
that but few places can boast of
quail shoottng.
All of these things which some
people look at as mere trifles are
what men of cities pay large
sums of money for and only have
the pleasure trips once or twice a
year. We can have them sever-
al times and be out only a very
small amount, and then some say
there is nothing here. They are
the few who don't know what a
good thing is.
