Ik the Journal had Its way about
it It, would legislate every trust, big
or little, out of existence. The first
thing we would tackle would be the
Standard Oil Co. and the boards of
trade that speculate in grain. Next
would come the implement dealers,
the packing houses, the milling trust,
and so on down the line. Railroad
freight rates and passenger tariffs
would not be lost sight of, and the
thieving express companies would
answer for all their sins.

There is harmony in the Demo-
cratic ,rauks In Oklahoma from one
end of the state to the other, while
in the Republican ranks there is
strife, discord and personal hatred
among the leaders from one end of
the state to the other.
Our Republican exchanges don't
have very much to say about the re-
sult of the city election that came off
at Powhuska, capital of the Osage
Nation, recently. There were two
tickets in the field. Democratic and
Republican. The Democratic ticket
won by majorities ranging from 78 to
180. It is generally believed that the
country districts will show larger
Democratic majorities than the
towns.
Did you ever stop to think that
every little mill in the country, as
well as the larger ones, are tied up in
the milling trust? They couldn’t do
business otherwise, and when the
man in the small mill tells you that
he is the friend of the wheat grower,
ask him if he is or is not a member of
the millers’ association? He will
straightaway go to explaining, and
that should be all the evidence that
you want._
If you are a stranger and want to
know who the up-to-date business
people of Manchester are, just
examine the advertising columns of
the Journal. The local newspapers
is the only true index to the town in
this or any other country, and when
you deal with men who ask for your
patronage by advertising, you have
the satisfaction of knowing that you
deal with men of liberal minds as well
as well balanced heads.
The men who frame the constitu-
tion for Oklahoma should not be
selected by the railroads nor the oil
companies, nor the book companies,
nor the corporations of whatsoever
kind. The nominations should be
dictated by the common people—men
who will not sell their vote at any
price. If we can hold a constitution-
al convention made up of men of this
kind, Oklahoma will have a constitu-
tion that she can point to with pride
for all time to come. Elect the
Democratic candidates and the aid of
such men as Bryan. Folk, Harris and
others will be called in consultation
on the more important measures in
the framing of the constitution for
Oklahoma, and then we will be in
shape to enact laws that will be of
some benefit to the people.
Tub people of this locality have
had brought directly home to them a
taste of Republican misiule In Okla-
homa In the Waters-Plerce Oil In-
spection law. We have all tasted of
the fruits of that law—at the rate of
25 cents a gallon—and know what it
is. The text book law is another
just like it, but the steal In connec-
tion with this one is not so plain be-
cause no independent company has
exposed it as.the Uncle Sam Oil Co.
has exposed the Rockefeller Oil Co.
There are other evils In the Oklaho-
ma laws all along the line, made by
the Republican party, and we don’t
believe the people will give that party
further control when once they get a
chance to elect officers instead of
being forced to stand back and see
the leading offices tilled by appoint-
ment from among tricksters who have
instigated the smoothest tricks to re-
tain the Republican party In power.
It has been a dog-eat-dog scrap with
the Republicans in this territory for
years, and the men who are mixed up
in these political skirmishes are the
ones that are on top in the Republi-
can ranks in Oklahoma at this time.
Are you going to boost them into
office by your ballots?
Well, Pete of the Medford Star
calls us a side “paigner” with T. J.
Palmer. We confess to our guilt.
Palmer has been engaged in the news-
paper business for 30 years or more,
and we have been in the business al-
most that long. To this extent we
are “pardners,” using Pete’s slang
way of spelling the word. Aside from
this, Palmer runs his business and we
run ours. And when a freak happens
along and attempts to break into the
newspaper business when in his
dotage, as is the case with one Pete
Wood, it is but natural that men who
have spent their lives in ttie business
should recognize the freak as such,
and in no other way. If Bro. Palmer
is willing, Pete, we will join him in
taking a look at you through a
smoked glass. In this way you might
present more of a fraternai appear-
ance: but with the naked eye neither
of us can discern anything in or to
you other than a bag of wind, and
that i4n’ta prerequisite in the man-
agement of a newspaper.
The Republicans who have the
“fixing” to do in getting ready to
hold the constitutional convention for
the state of Oklahoma are taking
plenty of time. The gerrymandering
in the way of apportioning districts
is still going on, and the chances are
that when the result is announced it
will create a stink that will drive
many Republicans to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket. We look for all
conceivable shaped districts—any-
thing to give the Republicans a
chance to elect a majority of the dele-
gates to the constitutional conven-
tion. There is no telling how Grant
county will be divided, but she is
pretty apt to be split up by throwing
some of her Democratic strongholds
in with Republican strongholds in
some adjoining county so as to try to
shut the Democrats out.

The Waldron Argus says it don't
see any difference in buying oil of the
Standard Oil Co. or the Uncle Sam
Oil Co. Just what might be expected
from a kid. Bubby seems to just try
to work on the blind side all the time.
If there is no difference, why is it
that the store at Waldron is enabled to
sell Standard goods for less money now
than they did before the Uncle Sam
Co. began their trips to the line north
of Manchester? Bubby would deceive
the people if he could and run the
Uncle Sam Co. out by getting the oil
consumers to buy the Standard goods
at Waldron, when it is well known
that the moment the Uncle Sam Co.
drops out, just that moment up will
go the price to the same old robber
notch. Bubby pretends to be awful
dumb, and it begins to look as though
he is. But he will have a hard time
pulling the wool over the eyes of the
people around Waldron. They are In-
telligent enough to see through the
& | preposition at a glance.
The repeal of the Wacers-Pierce
Oklahoma oil inspection law, abill for
which passed the last session of the
legislature, as vetoed by the then Gov-
ernor Ferguson. Had Ferguson al
lowed the bill to become a law instead
of vetoing it, it would have been the
same as to have dug his own political
grave, for neither the oil trust, the
railroads or any of the other monied
concerns that go with the Republican
party would have had any further use
for him. As it is, he is liable to be a
candidate in bis district for Congress,
or may be nominated for governor by
the Republican party.

Let the gerrymandering of the con-
stitutional convention districts go as
it will, Oklahoma will elect a majori-
ty of Democrats to that convention.
And if she does, the Republicans had
as well throw up the sponge when it
comes to the election for state officers.
The Medford Star last week con-
tained a rehashed poem that Pete
wrote before lie became famous (in
his mind) as a newspaper man. He
calls it an “effusion,” which Webster
describes as “the act of pouring out
of words.-’ The "effusion” was writ-
ten before Pete visited those 42
saloons in Wichita, else some people
might think that his frame of mind
afterwards had something to do with
it. The Journal has no objections to
Pete printing his “effusions” in the
Star, but they would look better if he
would say at the heading, "Printed
by request.” _
The range stove aud buggy peddlers
are “doing” the country around
Byron, so says the Republican. If
the people would just stop to think
that a man can’t sell things as cheap
by traveling around over the country
with a team at big expense as the
man who is located in the same busi-
ness in the town, they would readily
see that it is cheaper for them to
patronize the home men. And be-
sides, if anything goes wrong, the
home man makes it good, while the
peddler and your money are gone for-
ever. _____
It is gratifying to a Democrat to
see such papers as the Kansas City
Star and the Kansas City Times lin-
ing up for the 1908 campaign with a
better feeling for W. J. Bryan than
the Star had eight or twelve years
ago. Then there was nothing too
mean or contemptible for the Star to
say of the Democratic leader. Today
the remarks of these and many other
of the daily papers are softened here,
there and every where—just as though
they were paving the way to crawl
into the Bryan band wagon when th
time comes.
The packers declare that the ad-
vance in the prices of meats is due to
the higher prices they are paying for
livestock. This may or may not be
true. But whatever the cause, the
effect is an oppressive burden on the
people, imposed in defiance of the
laws. Such prices as are now an-
nounced cannot be established and
maintained except by combination
and agreement. That is self-evident.
It is also self-evident that at a time
when the grazing conditions of the
country are favorable, after one big
crop after another has blessed the
country, and when another enormous
crop is being harvested, there is no
visible nor discoverable reason in tlie
natural conditions of the country for
excessive meat prices. Such prices
are arbitrarily arranged, and are
made for the purposes of extorting
unreasonable profits. Whatever the
cause, It is not a good nor a legiti-
mate cause. and the time has come
when the packing trust should be
inquired into in relation to its im-
positions on the people in the matter
of meat prices.—Kansas City Star.
