DO WE WANT A
STREET RAILWAY?
Tho franchise granted to tho Okla-
homa Traction company to build n
stroet railway la Outhrle expire to-
night. While tuchnlentty the fifmchls
was granted to the corporation the
public Iu.b been led to look at It a an
Oklahc-r' City proportion fostered by
John Shartel and A. H. Classen. A
forfeit of IS.00C was tie pot! 1 ted with
the city treasurer for the faithful per-
formance of tho wurk and that the
street rallwaj should he in operation
Sept. i 1001. Shartel and Classen
hate signally failed In carrying out
their nnaertal.liif. Wo do not know
Why thay have failed perky nono Of
us know
One course Is plainly open to tho
council to deolaro the franchlso for
felted and "over tho money now in the
treasurer's hands Into Uie proper fund
as city proporty Thus the incident
might be closed. Do the pcottle wrtlit
that done
Tho Leader hellevoH this money be-
longs to the city and Its people Tho
council stnnds as the roprestntatlve
of tho people. Frdm this standpoint
wo wlih to make a few remarks.
It 1b n street railway wo want. Tho
money la safely In tho treasurer's
linnds awl can not set away. JIov
can wo best accomplish tho desire 1
cestilt. Mr. Shartel has answered n
numbor of pertinent questions pro-
pounded by the Leader ano" answorei
them In a manly way. Hy says they
dc rot desire an extension of their
franchise at this tlmo That financial
conditions throughout tho country
havo prevented his securing the money
to build. Tna money Is getting easier
In tho east and prospects are brighter.
That he now has tho subject up witr.
parties 'who are able ta complete tho
work and that U is being favorably
considered. Ho does not caro to make
tho entire situation public jnt asks
tho council and the Guthrie club to
each appoint a committee to act Jointly
to which committee he vlll make full
llrclosurrs ol inside present condition
and futuio prospects u tliehe com-
mittees report favorably he will ask
not an extension of his franchise at
this time but simply that tho matter
may romaln In abeyance for a few
days or urh time as the commlUees
may recommend If during that tlnr
ho aucofWHlM then at extension mny be
silked later basel on such showing an
may bo made at tho ilme. Ih the
meantime he offers to assign this fran-
rhlHe to an responsible party who
will take it nnd build the road.
Wo world commend this proposition
to tho gerlnu "mridorptlon of every
member of be counotl. Guthrie has
had trot'Me enough for one year. V"
have rocoverril wondet fully fioiu the
lnrent ba'ik falluro In Uie territory
A million dnllars tied un-Jjaa only par
tlally re'ii'Mad our proap'orlty After
jtetHug rid of ner otfic'lsm our fu-
ture will be whn- we made It. We
do not want Mr. Shartel's money. In
hind If bv our united ifc t wo can
upend It for the purposes intended
One covered lnto sorao rund in the
cltr treasury H Identity Is loyt. It u
rlty money which undei tho terms of
tho Organic Ac tnd our inw can not
be used hy the city to ah rn construct-
ing a railway As long as it remains
up as drtorfelt onlv It may bo used In
anyniaiinor whore the parties agrc?.r

united support of all. te have noth-
ng to lose by trying everything n
gain ahoutd we bo successful
These sentiments are morely tven
by way of suggestions but we venture
tho opinlor that they will be endorso-f
by those who own property in Guthrlo
and want to see tho city grow and
property enhanced In value through
public utilities. If thore is any
chanco on sarth to get au electric line
let's take advat.tage of the chance. In
this aa In all other matters the Leader
Is with the people. The Leader op
posed the granting of tho franchise in
tho flrsf plico but now lr the electric
lli.o promoter. have inside informa-
tion to present to committees repre
senting the taxpayers lot them be
heard. If It develops that Shartel and
Classen merely want an excuse to
savo a forfeit put up to guarantee
faithful performance the council has
but one courso to follow and only ono.
Tlio Leader takes this position from
a town arosperity standpoint and In-
tends to secure interviews from day
to day with cltl.na 'o ascertain their
views on Uie -matter.

No political party be 't Republican
Damocratlc PopulUt or anything lse
dare go befoie the people with cenfl-
donco appealing for support to the
ticket In the face of the shameful con-
duct which characterized tho Repub-
lican conventions held in Logan coun-
ty this year. The "maenino" with
Its black brigade to do Its dirty work
filled up the ticket with its own "tedl-
ous crew ot hireling mourners." A

time and Is greatly respected bv all
monitors of the order. No man can
Join the Masonic fraternity who Is
either an infidel or a disbeliever In
Almighty God and in Joining must
take a solemn oath to his belief In
tho Supreme Being. A the head of
tho Master Masons of Oklahoma er-
ritory Mr. Mathews' high position
naturally disproves the 5currilous lh
and tho entire Masonic fraternity ot
the territory Is Insulted by the fabri-
cation. Not only dors Mr. Mathows stand
at the head ot the Masons In the ter-
ritory but he U also n member In
pood standing of the Odd Fellow j and
tho Woodmen in each or which o-
devs ho must have taken the oath of
bib belief In the Christian's God. The
pangranh in th4 Missouri paper Is a
libelous Insult to each or these oidera

are so hard up for campaign "jaterlal

and that of his lodge associates they

THE CUS MtTHOD FOR TRUTH.
(Black-veil News.)
Wo aro pleased to note the fact that
i be G-ithrio Capital Is at least making
the effort to civate the Impression that
it occasionally tells 'he truth ?van
hough It i necawary for its editor to
ltold up a reader of that rF?r aod

t stsn a m'nvnt to that effect.
THAT MEAL TICKET CHARGE.
Oklahoma City Okla Sept ?9. As
w understand It tho vital point In
the validity of the "retraction" which
Editor Greer persuaded Editor Goloble
to sign is the rumoied meal ticket
which Frank Trouty Is alleged to havo
had In 1389
It it eun bo fhown that Frank
Piouty pcaseased this meal tloket iho
remainder of the clwin of evidence
might be of comparatively easy ac-
cess; bu' at long as this assertion by
Editor 'Ireer Is left t-nsupported by
unquestionable evidence his caso Is
loft In t nseawt irthy condition. Mean-
while Frank Prouty remains as silent
as the Sphinx. Although almost with-
in gunshot of Guthrlo. he refuses to
offer any llht on the mystery which
surrounds the editorial affair at the
capital rlty ani it la reportd that
he has denied himself to nil reporters
who importune Jnm to speak. So lon?
as Prouty remains in this attitude
thare seems to br no hope of eluci-
dating tho giive point at issue.
Fiaukly anii this is said In a
friendly wov Frank Prouty must bo
aware of the fno: that thore exists i
doubt ot the charge against him. Ho
j has never before facea so serious a
menace to Ins standing as this laid as-
sortlon rrom Edlror Girer that nt ono
tlmo he was harboring a meal ticket
and that V lltor Goloble did eat by vlt
tue of Hr potency. But Golob'e is ah
thst Greer otters in evidence of th
accusation and as we underhand 't
Goloble Jenles huvlng tioen pnrtlcep
orimlnle. So the testimony of Greer
appears unsupported and unless the
original meal ticket can bo producer
the preponderance ot evidence wouh I
seem to be aga'cet him.
Prouty's silenco In tho matter can
bo oplalnel upon tho theory that h
has Just born nominated for the legls-
lature and Is nfrald of being classe I
wl-h the plutocrats in cnf.e ho admits
tho meal tUket charge. Or If he de-
nies It he might ho scratched by th"
boarding houae trust In his district
However we may bo enlightened
when he Ikhucs his letter of accept
ance.
It Is generully agreed 'hat no sano
man would have voluntarily signed
such a ridiculous and maudlin Jumblo
of Jargon as Goloble Is accused by
Greer with having done. The theocj
that tho signaturo was obtnmed bv
duresu must therefore be accepted aa
being perfectly reasonable Prt th
Prouty meal ticket matter h.u tikeu
the attention of tha territory fiom thu
pnnclpals In the affair and fociiRe.l
them upon Prouty whose gasfrnoinio
escutcheon has never before been tar
nished In this manner. The meal tick-
et must be produced or Greer's ca?r Ih
hopeless.
