Senator Goukling's proposition to banquet the
governor, state officers and members of the legisla-
ture is good. The last trip of the law makers to 111i-
city was enjoyed by Enid 4111! her guests.
The Home for Feeble Minded on the north of
the city will some day become just what it is in other
states, the best state institution in Oklahoma. And
what is more, it will he self supporting, which is a
greater factor in the future than is generally thought.
Knid got her share of the state institutions and those
who laughed at the "noodle house" will learn their
mistake before long.
S. T. Alton took a good fall out of a former Enid
democratic editor last night when he recalled the
statement that editor made repeatedly in his paper that
a certain attorney general "had saved this state fifty
million dollars ifi a single year." "All the railroads
of Oklahoma," said the wholesale grocer, "have never
collected in gross revenue at all their stations in Okla-
homa fifty million dollars in any one year." It is the
kind of slush and rot Mr. Alton censured which has
aroused popular antagonism to railroads, made the
people believe demagogues were statesmen, and forced
the present industrial depression on the country. Sol'■ -
interest will at last force tIn- public to repudiate the
demagogue and demand a fair deal for every legiti-
mate business interest.
PURE JINGOISM.
The attempt to stampede congress into making
an enormous appropriation for improvement of the
Pacific coast defense facilities is one of the most dis-
graceful exhibitions of jingoism this country lias yet
witnessed. The whole scheme is merely a combination
between California interests and the steel trust to get
business 1h>i1i ways. There is no more danger of war
with Japan than there is with Chili. I'resident Taft
did a fine thing in his address a few nights ago when
he plainly denounced the startling statements made as
to the country's danger from invasion as pure jingo-
ism.
ABOUT ST Mil. ORDERS.
An Eagle reader asks:
"Why is it that in speaking or writing of the
business situation the steel trade is nearly always re-
ferred to as the best, basis from which to make predic-
tions?"
Doubtless many other readers have wondered
.jb'Utt the same tiling. It is not generally understood
what an important factor the manufacture of iron pro-
ducts is in the world of industry. Hut the manufacture
of these products, great as that field is, cuts a much
less figure than the allied industries whose prosperity
tan be measured largely by the orders they place for
jjhese products. When the railroads of the country
are prosperous, extending their lines, building new
roads and improving present roadbeds, they place big
•orders with the steel mills. When they are not pro-
■ktous these orders are lower. The railroads are the
Igreatest employers of labor in the world. They are
therefore the best criterion of the condition of the
■labor market. And on the demand for labor depends
(largely industrial conditions. Orders for steel rails
.and other iron products are usually placed about a
Hear ahead, hence the fact that the future business
initiation ean be predicted from the amount of these
'orders than from any other single factor.
TOO MANY COS CRESSES.
I The mania for public gatherings appears to have
I about reached if s zenith ll can hardly proceed farther
.without keeping tlje people going somewhere all the
I'ime.1 \ review of the past year, show s that there have
(been held in various parts of the country congresses
Iwidi objects varying from the improvement of tnoth-
•irliood to improvement of transportation facilities.
I from forestry to art and from tuberculosis to aerial
'navigation. It is a wonder that there were people
(enough able to travel who could make up a respectable
.audience at these meetings. In nearly every ease the
(object for which the congress was called was a worthy
joite but the result of the work done and the eonclu-
j ions reached has been greatly diminished Iiv the 1111111-
jlier of similar gatherings and the inability of the pub-
lic mind to digest the mass of good thought submitted.
\s to the resolutions adopted, usually framed and
•'•'.I'sed with a view to influencing -ome law making
body, these resolutions not infrequently find their way
into print only to be forgotten the next day after pub-
lication.
No doubt the element of personal gratification
and desire to get one's name before the public is re-
sponsible for the activity of a few of those who take
such a prominent part in these gatherings. The re-
former who reforms for self glorification, like the
poor, we have always with us.
The year 1910 will sec enough congresses held to
reduce each one in importance to a school district elec-
tion. A new name will have to lie found for these
gatherings to keep up public interest. Suppose a few
lie called "parliaments" just for a change. This would
give an opening for a house of lords and the bestowal
of titles of distinction such as "Knight of the Forestry
Circle," "Lord of the Cuisine Legion," "Duke of the
Motherhood League," while the wool growers who
gut what they wanted from the last national congress
at Washington might reserve for themselves the fit-
ting appellation of "Knights of the Golden Fleece.''
THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
A review of the commercial and financial opera-
tions of the present year as the close approaches dis-
closes ipany interesting features. < )n the whole,
crops have been very good. The country has piled
into its granaries something like eight or nine million
dollars' worth of the products of the soil. Corn and
wheat, the two great staples, have both been liar
vested in good quantity, considering the nation as a
unit. The live stock industry lias prospered. Cotton,
the magic wealth producer of the south, has added a
marvelous amount to the export trade.
It is inconceivable that in the face of these crop
conditions business would remain at its present low
tide long. It has never done so in the history of the
country before. Whether they desire to put in orders
for steel and repairs the railroads will be compelled
to handle the farm products and employment will be
given in this manner to many thousands of people.
Conditions appear to be such as to warrant the belief
that a swell in the volume of commerce will soon force
itself on the country.
Locally the prospect is brightening considerably.
Much gooii has been done by the meetings of the past
two weeks when the situation has been frankly dis-
cussed and the ways of improvement have been point
ed out. Was it not the Bard of Avon who said:
"Sweet are the uses of adversity, which,
like the toad, ugly and venomous, wears yet
a precious jewel in its bead."
Enid is not accustomed to the slow times that
have come here; at the same time they have come to
every other city in this section and, in fact, in the
whole country. Enid has been enjoying such abun-
dant prosperity that a little let-up is noticed more than
in those communities where real good times haven't
been known in a half century. But Enid is learning
from the present situation the lesson of needed organ-
ization and rightly directed energy in city building.
If that lesson is heeded the present dull season will
have indeed been a blessing in disguise. There are
portentious indications that such will be the result.
\ good rain at any time within the next month
would make a wonderful change iu the local condition
would make a wonderful change in the local situation,
lust as soon as the 1911 wheat crop in this section has
been assured by the fall of a sufficient quantity
moist'iYlV, as it may be any day. there will be a revolu-
tion in the public mind here. For faith in the future
greatness of Enid was never more manifested or better
founded than it is today.
The business outlook for iqh is much better than
it was a vcar ago. Generally conditions are vastly im-
proved. The railroads have held up their orders about
as long as tlicv can, final decision on the troublesome
rate question is near, public hostility toward capital
has passed high tide and the pendulum is beginniiif
to swing the other way, and gradually the great wheel
of commerce will obtain momentum such as they had
before the panic of 11)07.
Where the Sunfloweri Grow
FUN /.V HNGLASD.
The haughty Hritish statesman went home upon a
door. Tin cans were in his whiskers, bis face was
flrcked with gore. Ili^ decent British garments were
torn and slashed in strips, and words of bftter anger
came from his lips: "1 left the house of commons
with ladies in pursuit; they jeered and shrieked and
hooted, and said I wa- a brute. I stopped a bit to
argue, and show them where they're wrong- 1 never
knew thai ladies were so almighty strong ! They
dumped me in the gutter, the} stood me on my head.
, ihev ruined all my garments, they sent me home to
■ bed! 1 hear that sporty people still seek, from place
to place, a pugilist of promise to vindicate the race.
This modest hunch I'll give them, if they are seeking
yet: They ought to put in training the Uritish suf-
fragette." Me closvd his eyes in anguish when these
sad words were said. A brick came through the win-
How, and caught liiin on the head.

LETTERS TO THE EAGLE
Enid, Okla., Dec. 'JL\ I IMO.
Your editorial In Tuesday even-
ing's Ragle With regard to the h < a-
tion of the city high school building
Ir logical, and there is a growing
H<ntlnient in this community that
the city'# interests are not fbrward-
hy sectional fights, and when you
consider that the vote to locate tho
school on the I >outhitt tract was
seven for and fight against, it prac-
tically leaves the locution In the
hands of but two men. and it is well
known that two of the seven th« t
voted for that location are property
owners in that locality, it docs look,
as you say, that the man who does
not want an institution to he built
anywhere unless it is built where e
want8 it, is not only not a city build-
er, but is not a good citizen. It is
evident that a very large majority of
the people do not approve of the ac-
tion the board has taken in this mat-
ter, and are anxious to have a vote
taken so It can be settled satisfac-
torily. Yours truly,

"Doan's Kidney Pills have been of
inestimable value to me and conse-
quently 1 cannot praise them too
highly. For years my kidneys were
disordered and 1 suffered terribly
from pains across my back. On sev-
eral occasions 1 could not attend to
my work and had to give up. One
day a fellow workman told me
about Doan's Kidney Pills and so
great was his confidence in them
that he said he would pay for them
if they did not help me. 1 procur d
a supply at the Corry Pharmacy and
they benefited me promptly, re-
lieving the backache and strength-
ening my kidneys. When 1 have Ta-
ken Doan's Kidney Pills since then,
they have always proveif of benefit
and have kept my kidneys in a nor-
mal condition I know of nt least a
dozen instances where Doan's Kid-
ney Pills have brought cures after
other remedies have failed."
