take any part in this matter. They
are as essentially a part of this
city as far as its general policies,
both social and economic, are con-
cerned as the people inside the cor-
poration.
This kind of thing is not fair; it
is longer than it is wide, and the
length is all for the saloon, and not
at all for the people who do not de-
sire it. No injustice and studied
advantage is desirable, nor worthy
of a free and independent people.

ARTICLE IX. SUCTION IX.
TIIll LOCAL OPTION 1311.1..
Under the proposed local option
law Enid could be forced to hob
an election for the purpose of de-
termining whether or not saloons
should be licensed whenever twen-
ty-five percent of the number of
voters who cast their ballots at the
next preceding election should sign
a petition asking for such election.
If the vote were against licensing
saloons, another election could be
called within a month, and so on,
and on as long as agitators cared
to sign petitions.
But if the first vote or any other
thereafter should be favorable to
licensing saloons, there could be no
election called again, nor vote taken
on the matter within five years;
and not then unless the legislature
were to make provision for it by

ENID'S ASCENDANCY.
Any man who lives in Enid or in
the vicinity of Enid and says things
of a derogatory nature about the
city or the country is a misfortune;
first to himself, and second to the
community. The community can-
not take care of him, but it could
take care of itself, and in its own
interests this community ought to
have or develop a plan for effectu-
ally stopping the mouth of the
lunil). Why should a blind man
lead us, or a lame man do our run-
ning, or a dumb man do our speak-
ing? Let the knocker be still for
out of his month be speaketh the
foolishness of a weak and un-
worthy and pitiable heart.
Of course times are a bit hard;
and of course the rain does not fall
on the just and the unjust; and of
course a number of plans that were
laid on the theory of develop-
ments and roseate wealth without
work on a very small investment
arc not maturing. But the cattle >11
a thousand hills are growing in
the country round about, and the
double bands of steel arc stretch-
ing out into a vast territory that
belongs to and depends upon the
city. The feast is all spread, and
the guests are invited. Now let's
cither go in or shut up. The feast
is here and will be served and the
abundance will make an overflow
that will more than make any feast
that we have had so far.
The undeveloped resources and
possibilities of this community are
many times as great as the re-
sources that we have "made."
The sun of this city's prosperity
is just peeping over the hills in the
east. Get up, get breakfast and get
busy.

One of Enid's prominent men
who has traveled somewhat exten-
sively of late in the course of a
recent casual conversation said
that he found the fame of Enid
more substantially and persistently
established by the fact of her stock
shows and pavilion and her packing
house undertaking than by any-
thing else. He found that stock
men have read and heard a good
deal about the city, and that many
of them have scanned the map
closely enough to see that our fu-
ture as a center in this industry
seems to be inevitably a great one.
These stock men are correct; take
a map and after measuring the
stock territory tributary to Enid
try to imagine what kind of retro-
gression would have to go on in
this city if we miss becoming a
stock center.
This matter is otic to which our
particular attention is attracted just
now because of the somewhat un-
settled policies of the manage-
ments of those undertakings. As
tve understand it. the committees
appointed by the Chamber of Com-
merce for the stock show are out
at work now attempting to clinch
a good show for the city this year.
They have gone out on the theory
that if the show were to be neg-
lected for one year, some other le<s
favored city might exert herculean
efforts, get the attention of the
stock men, establish a show, and de-
feat Enid's hope—for some years
at least.
If there is any difficulty of con-
sequence in the plan proposed by
the chamber, or if for any reason
the show and its benefits are in
any danger or it< management iu
straights, such difficulty or reason
is incidental; there is no good and
permanent reason whv Enid with
one of the greatest pavilions in the
country, and all of her tributary
territory should not have a rous-
ing show every year at least. The
Chamber of Commerce should take
hold of that thing as a matter of
public interest and see to it without
delay that difficulties arc removed,
broken to smithereens, or adjust-
ed. Every condition needful is here
and has been met already.
The field is white to the harvest,
and that stock show ought to he a
solidly established institution, ready
for the annual event, and that with-
in a few (lavs or weeks at most.
Oklahoma needs more railroads;
that point is undisputed. In the
main these roads will be short ones
built to develop certain sections of
the state, and for that reason would
not interest the larger lines and
managements at the present time.
But these lines would buy short,
roads that had been built and
financed, if they could; at present
they cannot do so unless they do-
mesticate and that they will not do
and cannot be expected to do, inas-
much as they are here and are gel-
ting all of the business of the state
as it is.
The proposed amendment is cal-
culated to obviate the one difficulty
of the sale of short lines to trunk
lines, but removes none of the legal
restrictions that are safeguarded by
the constitution, as will be seen
by a careful reading of the present
section and the proposed amend-
ment. Article 9, section <), now
reads:
Sec. 9. Neither shall any rail-
road company, transportation com-
pany, or transmission company, or-
ganized under the laws of this state,
consolidate by private or judicial
sale, or otherwise, with any other
railroad company, transportation
company, or transmission company,
organized under the laws of any
other state, or the United States.
The proposed amendment reads:
Sec. 9. If any railroad company,
transportation company, or trans-
mission company organized under
the laws of this state, shall consol-
idate hy sale or otherwise, with
any railroad company, transporta-
tion company or transmission com-
pany organized under the laws of
any other state or of the United
States, the same shall not thereby
become a foreign corporation, but
the courts of the state shall retain
jurisdiction in all matters which
may arise, as if such consolidation
had not taken place.
The railroad companies are not
strongly in favor of this measure
and are making 110 effort for its
passage, for the reason that they
want something more to their in-
terests and hope to get it through
the next legislature, but if this pass-
es, it will probably settle the matter
for some time to come.
The greater portion of the rail-
roads in Oklahoma have been
financed and built by promoters
for the purpose of selling to other
companies, but when section 9 of
article 9 was placed in the consti-
tution, financiers would not ad-
vance any money for the purpose
of building new roads, as they
could not he sold to other com-
panies, in case they did not pay as
independent lines. This measure
will be satisfactory to the capital-
ists and they will again furnish
money to build railroads in Okla-
homa and it matters not. whether
they arc operated independently, or
by the existing trunk lines.
If this amendment i sses—and
it will have to have a majority of
all of the votes cast in the election
to pass—Enid will have at least
