Notwithstanding the many at-
tempts made by the opposition
papers of the state to discredit
Oklahoma in a political way by
telling the public that the party in
power is driving the railroads and
capital in general from the new
state, it is a fact that capital in
every line, and especially in rail
road building,, is seeking invest-
ment in Oklahoma.
A Guthrie dispatch of May 22
says that a 300-mile‘ extension
from Texarkana, Arkansas, through
Oklahoma, to meet the Kansas
City, Mexico & Orient railroad at
a point near the Cimmaron river is
now contemplated by the Kansas
City Southern. It is also under-
stood, according to information
received here, that the obvious in-
tention of the Kansas City South-
ern is to secure the Ft. Smith &
Western railroad, which has its
western terminus in Guthrie, and
make an extension of that line
from Prague, in Lincoln county via
Oklahoma City to Wichita Falls,
Texas, forming a trunk line to the
west and southwest. The point
where the western extension would
join the Orient would be near
Cherokee, in Alfalfa county. The
fact that A. E. Stillwell promoted
both the Kansas City southern and
the Orient gives credence to the
report that this extension will be
built.
The Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific will commence construction
on July 1 of an extension from
Ardmore to Waurike on the main
line of the Rock Island to Texas.
The contractors who will do the
work are at the present time em-
ployed on the Rock Island road
from Amarillo, Tex., to Tucumcari,
and will have completed their eon-
ago from $5.50 to $.50.50, had to

earnest solicitation of many promi-

Meyer, assistant secretary of state,
has caused to be printed the Taylor
election law amendments and those
parts of the old election law that
were not repealed. a silly attack
was made upon Mr. Meyer by this
morning’s State Capital because of
this fact. The article in question
objects to this because the tax payers
must pay the bill, tfothlong is of
more Importance to the tax payers
than the knowledge of this and other
important laws, and it is the im-
perative duty of Mr. Meyer to let the
people know the exact truth in re-
gard to these much discussed amend-
ments. There are within the state
of Oklahoma nearly 8,000 precinct
election officers who have no other
means of knowing what the law is

ABOUT LEADERS.
Do you ever stop to watch a
crowd of urchins at play? Small
fellows on their way to or from
school. If you have you will note
that there is always one who seems
to be the leader. If he says to
play pullaway, pullaway goes. If
he starts to run up an alley they
all follow. Sometimes there are
two kids and both want to be
leaders. The result is a fight and
one gets licked and the other is
leader. Or, possibly at the show-
down one of the aspirants runs
away and leaves the field to the
lad with the best nerve. It is just
so after the kids become men.
There is always a leader in even-
community. The rest follow
along behind. There are leaders
in the church, in the lodge, in the
business institutions and in poli-
tics. When two men want to
lead the same crowd there is a
scrap and one head comes off.
Men are just kids grown up. They
get mad and pout. The tears may
not run donw their faces, as in callow
days, but they lose their temper
and show the spirit the defeated
kid was wont to show. Oft times
when one kid is licked he will ac-
cept the decision and fall in behind
the rest and follow the real leader.
Sometimes he will * not, but will
sneak away and join another gang
and try and lead them. Just so
with men. When licked some of
them will take their medicine, while
others will sneak away and get a
box of rat bisket and begin to
scatter it in paths where the fellow
who conquered them will have to
walk. Men are simply little boys
grown up.—Stolen.
