MANGUM LOOKS GOOD.
Very often we hear some of our ci-
tizens complaining because it's dull
here, and some of them predict all
kinds of disasters, but the queer thing
of it is these predictions never come
true. Those who become discouraged
with Mangum should take a trip and
visit the surrounding cities, and tt.ey il
soon come home and put up their
banners.
GRIFFITH 8ELL8 OUT.
The BrlnKman News, w.. has
been published at the town of Brink-
man, north of Mangum, by J. F. Grif-
Uth, was sold last week to a company
of Willow citizens and has been mov-
ed to that place, leaving Brinkman
without a newspaper. Editor (Jn.~tn
gave the people of Brinkman a good
paper, and from all appearances was
receiving as good an advertising pa-
tronage as could be expected in a
town of that size. We hate to see
the paper quit, but hope that it will
have a more extended existence at

Owen says the envelope manufactur- delivery
ers are backing the bill, and hears not
th« protests of anyone else. •
He gives several reasons for oppos-
es tvc repeal o fthe provision, hone
of which we believe, are very good.

envelopes can be printed and distribut-
ed by the government at a lower cost

pound rates now employed we would
not seriously object, if he would only
snpport the provision stopping this
stamped envelope business by the
government. With the'additional bu-
siness we would be able to pay the
postage and then buy us a pretty good
suit of clother and a c.gtf each year.

BUSINESS IN MANGUM.
While business ln Mangum this
summer 1b somewhat dull, compared
to what It Is in the fall of the year, it
is no duller than Is usually the ease in
the summer time, and If you Will In-
quire among the merchants you'll find
v In most every case they are doing bet -
ter this summer than they did at the
same period last year. Our business
men have confidence in the future and
are very well satisfied with conditions.
OKLAHOMA'S CAPITOL.
The Oklahoma City people are rapid
ly losing friends among the people of
Oklahoma as a result Jof the way they
are handling the state capitol propo-
sition and we believe if another elec-
tion were held today on the question
of capitol removal the result would
not by any means be so unanimous as
was that of last year.
Oklahoma City hollered long and
loud for the opportunity of building a
free capitol for the state, and we be-
lieve the time has come for them to
either put up, or acknowledge that
they either cannot or will not do it.
Everybody is getting sick and tired of
this capitol business and It's time it
was settled permanently.
We never were In favor of letting
any city donate a capitol to the state,
tor we believe that Oklahoma snould
do it herself; she 1b more able to
build it than the citizens of any
city, and we never have believed it to
to right for the state to enter into a
scheme for boosting real estate values
of any given city.
The people of Oklahoma are behind
Governor Cruce and his administration
in demanding that the contract be-
tween Capitol Development Co., and
the state be observed. If the company
refuses or fails to make effort to do
so within a reasonable time, then
suitable action can be taken in the
matter.
OUR WATER SUPPLY.
The people of Mangum certainly
have reason to be thankful for the In-
exhaustible supply of good, pure water
with which our city Is blessed. Wun
our two wells here we have enough
water to supply three cities the size
of Mangum, and the beauty of it is
t.iere Is no better water to be found in
the state. It is tine for household
uses, and every test so far shows that
it is very line for use in boilers and
engines.
With a total expenditure of less than
9100,000, when the present Improve-
ments are completed, we will have an
imxhaustible supply of good pure wa-
ter at the door of nearly everv citizen
of our city, which is scattered over
an prea of about five square miles.
While other citics around us have
voted bonds, some of them as high as
|150,000, and spent th? money in an
effort to And a supply of pure water,
and without any success so far. Man
gum has plenty of it at the door of all
our people
This fact alone should be a deciding
factor in our favor in the minds of
people who are hunting a
which to locate factories or establish
a business, or who are looking for
good place In which to make their
home. Did you ever see any town

OUR SENIOR 8ENATOR.
The senior I'nlted States senator J
from Oklahoma, Hon. Robert L. Ow- ^

of the governments policy of selling! S

the same time professing his undying
love for the country editors.
In many respects Senator Owen is
a remarkably bright man and has
made Oklahoma a better representa-
tive than have some of those repre-
senting other states, but be has been
dead wrong on this proposition, and
his course nhould be remembered by
every country editor in Oklahoma.
