Judge Burford has been generally commended
for his appointment of Joe Norris as his district
court clerk and in return feels well pleased that
it is giving such general satisfaction, 'i he news-
papers over the territory have been acquainted
with Mr. Norris ever since he was private secre-
tary to Governor Seay and came in contact with
him again as the assistant secretary of the con-
gressional campaign|committee last fall, in which
he worked night and day for the election of Mr.
McGuire. Naturally he received the endorse-
ment of Delegate McGuire for his present
position.

Bv the way, it should be remembered that
when the Press Association endorsed Secretary
Thoburn it was a non-partisan endorsement, the
democratic as well as the republican newspaper-
men supporting the resolution without a dissent-
ing vote.

OKLAHOMA LAND OP HOME5.
Oklahoma is more truly a p'ace where every
man owns his own home than any other state in
the union. Especially is this true of the farmers.
Land being here for the taking, the foun.lation
of owning the farms by the fanners w s made
with the "run," when every good quarter section
was taken. So far the land Has-not to a large
degree fallen into the money loaners hands, and I
it is to be hoped it never will. May Oklahoma I
farmers always be owners; not renters. If it '
could be that a greater per cent of ownership of I
the soil by those v\ho till it could be kept up in
Oklahoma than any other state, it would have its
unique effect on the independence < f its citizen-
ship, a lack of that trou'jle and litigation that
ARE GOVERNOR FERGUSON'S
FRIENDS HIS ENEHIES?
The people of the territory have been regaled
lately with many dire stories of the untoward
•disasters of decapitation, annihilation and utter
jdamnatios of Governor Ferguson, and all these
stories have had certain subtile shadings beyond
-which the ordinary reader could not go and had
to take for granted. Hut after reading many of
them, there appeared on the surface another fact
besides the intention to disturb the governor and
that was that these stories emenated from the
same source, as they all had the same tone of
voice. The stories were to the effect that some-
how Delegate McGuire, National Committeeman
Cash Cade, Chairman Chas. H. Filson, Secretary
Vernon Whiting, John Dillon, ,C. G. Jones, Sena-
tor John Threadgill, Senator. Felix Winkler and
Speaker Norton and many others were conspiring
fp oust the governor. If this were so it began to
appear strange that the news should have been
given out continually in the papers especially
friendly to Secretary William Grimes.
We do not know what Governor Ferguson
thinks oi all this or whether he perceived that
ihe articles purporting to protect him'and injure
,MeGuire are really protecting Grimes and adver-
tising, by unique admissians, through purported
charges of others, his supposed difficulties and
short-comings. It is the story of whipping the
devil around the bush. And it is the story also
of the man who smiles and smiles and is a villain
still.
Certain stories are, however, injuring the gov-
ernor. They are that he is a party with Secre-
tary Grimes of giving public printing to demo-
cratic papers and otherwise recognizing them,
for the express purpose of vilifying certain per-
sons in the republican party. It is generally be-
lieved that in some manner the govenor is tied
hand and foot by Flynn and Grimes, that some-
how they've got him by the umbilical cord, and
can make him dance as thev please, and under
the pretense of patting him on the head . as an
approval of his great oscilatory act, give him a
cuff on the ear, on the sly, that hurts. Mr. Flynn
is a partner of a leading democrat in a law firm,
andthey are attorneys for the defnnct Capitol
National Hank; Secretary William Grimes
is the bosom friend of J. C. Robb,-
who is the chief creditor of the bank.
Rumore has it en the streets of Enid that Flynn
prevented certain indictments there that the peo-
ple think would have been made. And these
very men, Flynn and Grimes, the association of
whose names hold him responsible for things he
may have had nothing to do with, are subsidis-
ing democratic papers to tight the republican
delegate to congress, disrupt the party, and on
the sly plug the governor in the back once in a
while.
It is generally conceded that Secretary Grimes
dominates all the appointees in the governor's
stairway and all the news that issues from it.

An exchange draws attention to the fact that
Oklahoma farmers mostly own their farms and
makes conspicuous, in the absence of the state-
ment, the tact that there is an attempt, contrary
to natural feeling, to make a certain class wards
of the state — the school land lessees.
The first number of the Oklahoma Magazine,
published at Oklahoma City, was from a typo-
graphical standpoint the best of many ventures
that have been started in the short history,of
Oklahuma. Whether a specialized magazine can
succeed in Oklahoma depends. Naturally the
territory is too young for a literary magazine,
even if the editor be fully capable, and it de-
pends how many other human interests can be
taken care of from the local standpoint and yet
better than the daily and weekly press can take
care of thein, if it can make itself felt and takrn
by.the people. The topics treated of in a month-
ly periodical must have the range and literary
value beyond the current treatment of the daily
press. Can Mr. Maxwell find such ability for an
Oklahoma magazine? However, the magazine is
a good one and Mr. Maxwell should be encour-
aged in his attempt in a new venture of perma-
nent thought.

MONEY AND FARM LOANS.
We learn from interviews with some of our
bankers and loan brokers that the demand for
real estate loans is gradually decreasing, and
that the inquiry for farm loans is less this year
than it has been in any year since 18S9. This
fact shows that financial condition of the farmers
is excellent. The facts are many of them have a
surplus of money and are in the loan business
themselves. There is a plethora of money in
our banks, and distributed among th"e farmers,
which makes good loans mnch sought for.
The first permanent result to follow this con-
dition will be to lower the interest rate. Ihe
second effect will be that money will seek more
profitable employment in manufacturing enter-
prises, and then mills and factories will spring
up in the cities and towns most favorably located
as to railroads, tuel, raw material and accessibil-
ity to markets. In all of these essentials Guth-
rie has the requisites, and hence within a few
years we may reasonably expect a revolution in
local industrial conditions. We do not expect,
of course, rolling mills, furnaces, etc., but cotton
mills, knitting mills, glove factories, garment
makers and a hundred other manufactories,
where fuel is nor the principal item to be consid-
ered.

To the School Land Lessees of Oklahoma:
I take this method of answering the many questions in
regard to the future of the Lessees' union. So many are
in favor of a secret political organization, but as this is a
\ ery busy time I think we had better wait awhile. Yet, we
know our enemies; mark each one of them, and don't for-
get them. Pay your dues to the territorial treasurer, J. B.
Tate-. Take our official organ, the Chandler Tribune and
the State Register and all other- papers that are friendly to
our cause and keep your subscription paid up. Keep your-
selves posted at all times. We will come out all right for
our cause is just and right will prevail.
Fraternally yours,

The winning of the athletic trophy at the an-
nual territorial contest of the high schools at
Norman by Guthrie is another argument in favor
ot County High Schoo's. The m ijoritv of the
boys of the Logan County High School is from
the farm, and they showed the mettle at the ath-
letic contest that makes the farm boy the master
man in the highest positions in the great cities.
