Hive you stopped tpt think we
pre ncaring the close of another
year. Tq Oklahomans, 1907, has
been an eventful year in many re-
spects. The country has been favor-
ed with us full pro rata of prosperi-
ty and greatest of all has been ad-
mitted to the Union as a full-fledged
state. Set your resolutions high
•fur jbe coming uew year and let us
ail do our best to make 1908 the
banner business yearKaud Oltlaho
ma tbe greatest place on earth.—
Progress.
The editor of tbe fcuid Events
deliberately says tbis: ••The first
great fight of tbe Oklahoma Demo-
cratic state officers will be between
Charley West and Cbarley Haskell.
W est is Gt ermii to to be consulted
on things, and Has?kell is determiu
ed to do as be pleases. est thinks
that, as atiorney general, bis legal
opinion ought to be solicited by
Haskell on state affairs. Haskell
is certain that he kuows more in a
miuuje thau Wot will know in
lifetime, hence will feel inclined to
giv st but condescending atten
uon.' Our Charley will stand the
snub just so loug, and then he will
pop into the air, crack bis heels to-
gether and howl like a wolf. Listen
tor it—it will sure be a rich demon
stration of pyroteehuical political
cothhat."
Governor Haskell may not add
to his popularity a'bioug the Okla-
homa legislators by sending them
three messages in « single day, urg
lug them to the utmost industry in
the matter of enacting laws for the
uew state government, but it is cer-
tain that the people of Oklahoma
will appreciate the Governor s at-
tempt 10 bung about a decided in-
novention in legislative procedure.
As a sule, state legislatures practice j
industry during the last week of
iheir sessions, and theu bills are
rushed through with a reckless dis-
regar for every consideration of or-
der or merit. This accounts, in a
large measure, tor the general com-
plaint that statute books are bur-
dened with technicalities rather
iban Aholesome laws While Okla
noma is going in for reform there
no m -re promising field for it than
in the conduct of stale Legislatures,

"W there anything really
humorous about your show?"
"Yes," answered the manager;
"the critics said somethings about
it next day that were really fnn-
jy."—Wa nington Evening Star.
