TIRED OF BOSSES.
s and Democrats all over the
are getting tired of political bosses and rings whose
only aim is to fill their own pockets and fleece the
people. That was what lost Maine to the Republicans
and it is what will lose Oklahoma to the Democrats.
County l inys are equally as had as state rings,
in so far as they extend. When one man or set of
men gn to work and name who shall or shall not hold
office, government becomes a farce. The people have
about made up their minds to do more of the turning

The Republican candidates in this county are
making a winning campaign. They are receiving a
cordial reception from the voters wherever they go.
They are recognized as competent, fair-minded men,
of the sort that will transact the business of the peo-
ple fairly and squarely. Indications point stronglv
to the election of the entire ticket.
Uncle Joe Cannon says he wants no footlights

and perhaps since lie has heard from those insurgent
states, the footlights have .lost their charm for liini.
Governor Haskell is on trial this week in the
federal court at McAlester. It is to be hoped for the
sake of the good name of Oklahoma that he is not
guilty of the charges against him. Political partisan-
ship should never run to the ext reme of desiring to
convict an innocent man. Put if the charges are
true, the fact that he is the governor of the state,
should n ot In* used as a cloak to hide gross offences.
ROOSHVF.LT WINS FIGHT.
Colonel Roosevelt went into a great fight in New
York and with his usual luck won out. Few men
would have had the courage to have gone up against
the Old Guard of New York, but courage is a princi-
pal asset of Roosevelt.
It was a contest between bossisin and leadership
an 1 the latter won. The gauntlet was thrown down
to Roosevelt and he met the challenge. No other liv-
iilg man could have succeeded against such odds.
It was not hysteria. New York has never been
accredited with what has been known as ••Kansas fe-
ver" in political matters. It is the same spirit, how-
ever. and it pervades the Fmpire state as well as the
Sunflower. In the present case it is Progressives as
against regulars.
The latter undertook to control the state conven-
tion in the old way by the state committee selecting
the temporary chairman. That officer is the main
spring of the convention. The committee selected
vice president Sherman and rejected Roosevelt.
The convention reversed the committee aud elect-
ed Roosevelt as temporary chairman. It was a clean-
cut progressive victory

seeking the best educational advantages.
The voting of the bonds has increased the real
estate values in Medford equal to the amount of the
bonds voted. lOvcn parties who were against the bonds
have openly declared that they had been benefited by
the voting of the bonds. Any sensible man would
be willing to pay more for property in Medford or in
an any other town, where first-class school advanta-
ges were to be enjoyed.
The voting of the bonds means a brighter and a j in on the east side of block 45 original

earth. Navigators of the air have exhibited wonder-
ful. daring courage. A number have paid for it with
their lives and more are to be sacrificed. The spirit
of the new mode of transportation is in the air.
MO EBUSINESS, LESS POLITICS
Hon. .1. W. McNeal held a rousing meeting at
Renfrow Tuesday of this week. The farmers turn ed

Mr. McNeal proposes to reverse that policy if he
is elected governor of the state. He proposes to con j thage, Missouri to inspect the pipe for

The case on trial against (iovernor Haskell may
come to an abrupt end under the ruling of .fudge Mar-
shall. He has held in his ruling, that the testimony
against Haskell must 1 onfined to evidence tending
to show that he was guilty of ••conscious participa-
tion" in the alleged conspiracy to defraud the gov-
ernment in the three years prior to the return of the
indictment against him which was on May 127.
It depends upon whether the government is prepared
to produce evidence under the limitations.
It is rumored around that the prohibitory law of
the. state is being violated with impunity in certain
sections of this county One thing is true that con-
siderable drunkenness has l eeu observed that did not
occur formerly. It is the duty of oflieials to enforce
the law with reference to prohibition as well as to
horse stealing. No officer has the right to wink at
any violation regardless of fear or favor from any
Congregational.
