NEED OF STRONG
CITY GOVERNMENT.
ImptrUnt issues are at stake In the
city campaign this year. Some very
serious mistakes have been ra.4de In
the management of lty affairs In the
lnt few years. It la very necessary
that the people Mx the re3pons bil!ty
for the;e ern rs and recognUe the eon-
dlt'ona brought about by them then
act as they think best but be sure to
act.
If conditions are entirely satisfac-
tory and the voter withes to endorse
the two previous Republican admtnla-
tratk s and vote fcr the continuance
of the same state of a flairs under the
ame old management why. then well
and good; the prjper thing to do will
he to support the aameold party tick-
et under the aame old powers beh ud
the throne. That will reach the reault
that such a voter-wants.
There are. however a very large and

Oklahoma City has been a really

If more than ordinary skill In playing brings the honors of the
same to the winning playsr so exceptional merit in a remedy
ensures the commendation of the well informed and as a rea-
tonble amount of outdoor life and recreattbn is conducive to
the health and strength so does a perfect laxative tend to one s
improvement in oases of constipation biliousness headaches
etc It is all important however in selecting a laxative to
choose one of known quality and excellence like the ever
pleasant Syrup of Figs manufactured by the California Fig
Syrup Co. a laxative which sweetens and cleanses the system
effectually when a laxative is needed without any unpleasant
after effects as it acts naturally and gently on tr .ternal
organs.-simply assisting nature when nafere needs stance
without griping irritating or debilitating the internal organs in
any way as it contains nothing of an objectionable or injurious
nature. As the plants which are combined with the figs in
the manufacture of Syrup of Figs are known to physicians to
--i. i. uns.ii imnn iha eveffinv tho remedv has met
with their general approval as a family laxative a fact well
worth considering in making Purchases.
It is because of tho fact that SYRUP Or r ltip
is a remedy of known quality and excellence and approved by
physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well
informed people who would not use any remedy of uncertain
quality or inferior reputation. Every family should have a
bottle of the genuine on hand at all times to use when a
laxative remedy is required. Please to remember that the
genuine Syrup of Figs is for sale in bottles of one size
only by all reputable druggists and that full name of the
company ualitornia rig syrup uo. is piaimy p""" um
the front of every package. Regular price 50c per bottle.

SOME MORE REPUB
LICAN "FLOPPING."
The "lamest" excuse for Republican
;nertla on statehood appears In the
American of El Reno. The American
Is refreshingly verdant. It ays:
"The Democratic members of the
IBIghth logislatlvo goselon tried hard to
make cheap politics by Introducing a
hill for a stato cor.st!tution convention
for Oklahoma and Indian territory. It
was backed by such strong partisans
as Tom Dcyle author of the hill. Roy
Stafford. Col. Roy Hoffman and L. G.
Ntblack. The Republican members
wisely voted against the bill and thus
aaved the territory from a foolhardy
blunder.
"The statehood today la the same as
two years ago every person In the
two territories are in favor of It yet
d'ffer aa to the beat course to pursue
to fecure It. To hold a constitution
convention with the Indian territory
would entail great coat and hardships
unon the neonle of Oklahoma and
would accomplish no good end. The
property holders of Indian territory
have no political machinery and no
tax system by which It could be estab-
lished. Nu election laws exist over
there no proteotlon to he voters.
Vhon the cotuontm assembled the
conditions imposed for holding it
would not be binding upon the dele
gates from Indian territory they could

vuntlcn nnd as- such could not take
part. Tho entire coat of the election
and convention would necessarily ho

strife between the different sections
of the future state and the turmoil
which could not be warded off would
be disastrous to the state thus form-
will support he Democratic Citizens

A TRAGIC INTERFERENCE
IN FAR EAST.
It Is scarcely possible that those
European powers which. In contempt-
uous violat'on of International com-
munity Interfered and deprived Japan
of the liglttmate frulta of her victory
over China are contemplating the re-
sults of their interference with entire
satisfaction. It la yet too early fcr a

are chargeable to the Intermeddling of
the powers on that occasion for all of
the data are not available hut It will
not he cla'med that humanity In sen-
era 1 except Japan has gained any-
thing thereby.
The war that has been racing In the
Bast for almost fourteen months was
virtually decreed by the powers when
they dictated tho terms of pence be-
tween Japan and China. A pauoramn

It is useless tq deny or Ignore "tlie
one great fact that tills terrible
tragedy presents and ftroes on the at-
tention of all nations. That faet Is
the pre-eminence of the Japanese In
all that goes to the makeup of a fight-
ing people. Japan kept her own coun-
sel when the was calmly and deliber-
ately planning for this war and when
operations began she took effectual
steps U- maintain secrecy. She lias
demonstrated that la no department
branch cr adjunct of military science
or skill la she behind any other nation.
More than that she has proved that
in the Important matter of medical
science as applied to troops in the
field ihe is far ahead of any other
nat'on.
And still more and perhaps the
moat Important fact that this conflict
has brought out Japan has shown that
ths Japanese face danger and death
with a joyful alacrity impossible for
the flsht'ng men of any Christian nation.
These are a few of the lessons that
the butt ng-ln powers as well as oth-
ers have derived from a war that
grew out of that interference.
