ADVERTISING ROOSEVELT.
Verily hath tho presidency become
an asset for those who are adroit in
sifrdadlng printers' Ink whore it may
be seen by th Roubsns or the East
nn'J Central states.
Tho dear deotad Doctor Abbott
who visited some brothor Socialists
lu this state last winter professing
great love for tho 'viays of righteous-
ness and was so friendly that ho al-
lowed bis Socialistic friends to pay
Ills board then trekud to New York
and mode the most vicious nstnailt on
our iuidIIc Gchools Is an advertiser
of merit. He it known that when tho
Terrible Theodore now president of
the United States was looking about
for profitable employement when he
liat'i rotirod from tho oxalted station
"Jod for seven yeur. Doctor Abbott
perceived lilm and straightway con-
ceived tho Ma of making him tho
"Advisory" editor of tho Outlook.
Further In the way of explanation
tho Outlook Is a mugazlno -which ap-
pears when tho soap ndvortisomonts.
Melllns rood and Castorla cuts nro
spiked to tho proper place in the
aliuet. Tho wilting is done largely
by the prlzo plan whereby ono novice
writes a story fo ra $123 prize thero
bring from ono to COO contributors
ar.'d contestants for Uio ?1.23. Tho
good doctor. In tho kindness of spi-
rit and wisdom of economy thereup-
on Announces with tears trickling
town his choflkM at the sorrow of be-
ing unablo to award prizes to the 599
contestants tdoea with proper expla-
nation and nnimuncoinont print tho
ctlu-r storlos .allowing COO stories for
th original $1.23.
Then In tho first pago bounded
itp-at-top by the name-lino on tho one-
siIo 1v a soap aiJlet on anothur by
foot-onso aunoiincamoul and below ny
another buncli of what tho drptor
wants is tho great thought-uiouMlng

and ovor whore tho D99 dlmipN)lntod
aivl tho one winner have been wont to
fight for glories will tho prosent chlof

sistant editor toll what ho thinks and
his opinion. If such it may be called.
'In tho iiionutlino Doctor Abbott will

Nation will bo ttxtollod ami the fame
of tho wonderful man at the Whlto
Ifouso will be loU-lettered across tho

A TRAGEDY.
Every reader of newspapers In tho
t'nltod States will sympathize and
mount With Colonel Henry Wntterson
oter tho loss of the son. who at tho
ago of thirty alood on tho threshold
of a groat and honorable career. Tho
death of the young man by ratling
from a window calno as n blow in the
declining j oars of a man who has flo-
ured In the life of tho United States
for half a rentury. Watterson is a

speaker of tho house. Mr. Cannon
nevor quibbles or dodges the issue.
He hatos Roosovolt and eays so with-
out equivocation. Ho made tho presi-

a reactionary candidate for vice-proai
dent at Cnicago and ho forced Tafis

Mr. Cannon lias bcen-In public lit?
a long lime more than tho average

ho has trimmed no sail for tho squal-

who doos as ho pleases and allows (ho

while hla constituents nro left In Ignor-

trust magnate sends a message to Can-
non tolling him what to do. It such

lu fact Mr. Cannon owns the trubw

few mon have been more powerful in

Just closed. It defended tho doctrine
of Democracy as It has dono since It
was founded nineteen years agonc.
Whoever was representing Democratic
government and Ideas receiving the
brunt of opposition attacks .received
the supjwrt of Tho Leader the more
readily because The leaden wel) un-
derstood those afeialUnj? wro after
what it considered Jetrgestfjql
ment of Democratic gtvernnjint.
Rut that Is of tho past; tlio election
is over and. right or wrong(the state
of Oklahoma oxpocts to gq' forward
cnislitng pushing its way to the list
or tho progressive powerful populous
states or 'the Union. To accomplish
this t'tul there must be unity 'of action
and energy or purpose. There enn be
no place ror tho loaror no time ex-
pended 6u whoso wishes to stop and
ydwl at the turn or events. t
Tlio respective leaders of tho' twoi
partlos- can hold In control tho fa'.-
tlons Of the partisans. It Is their duty
to sec that all orforts are placed for
tho advancement of the stale nnd that
all money goes lor the support of mak-
ing Oklahoma the recipient of the
greatest number of tho emigrants
from tho older and more crowded
status. Such will bring thousands
nnd tens of thousands or desirable cit-
izens add to our productive power
and enable our resources to bo devel-
ojied many times Taster than IT we
had to do so with our own capital and
prosent populntlon.
lr any or the agencies of publicity
refuao to Join In this movement and
desire to continue the Intc-neclne dir-
feroncos It is the duty of the oHIcial
parly heads to brand them that Ok-
lahomans may know who Is and who
Is not filling the niche loft ror thorn
In our raco for commercial suprem-
acy! In advancing these ideas The Lead-
er holds the prosperity and devoloji-
ment or Oklahoma paramount to tho
Interests or all othot things or per
sons. Personally it would pront it
more perhaps to be moro partisan to
aid In punishing those whom It bo-
lfeve.i woro umnlr in tho partut n
struggle.
But at this tlmo when the engines
or commerco go rapidly to the uttor-
omst and men or strength and power

maintain a solid lighting front to se
cure out portion. Those who disap
prove of such a policy will not dis-
commode Tho Loader but thoy must

to make Oklahoma an empire of which
all or us aro proud and In which nil of

The total or theso proposed exten
slons and branches all or which ought
to havo been built ia 812 miles ex-
clusive or sidings. Under the averago
assessed valuation or these roads this
year It would havo added more thau
J30.000.000 to the assessed valuation
ot tho state.
Ot the 56 new roads projected onu
merated first at least o.tiuy m.ies of
lines are not only feasible but needed
in the state to assist in proper devel-
opment Figuring on tho same basis
ot valuation as applied to existing
lines tills 5000 miles would add J175-
000000 more to the valuation In the
j.a.v. ni.'a orlng thteotal assessaolo
valuation of theso promised and peed
ed railroads up to ?205000000.
Nono of them has beon built.
Something has cost Oklahoma two
huaOreu millions of dollars taxable
property.
It is up to the people of the statu
to look for a reason.
Thoy must know thateomrtMng Is
wrong somewbere. ' ( 1
Tnero are vnv records.
Nor Is that all. The building ot
those railroads would add anotaer two
hundred millions to tho value or farm
lands and town property along thoir
lines.
Four hundred millions!
'In looking for tuo catuc wo find
Hint It takos some effort to gather
$200000000. Fow of us havo that
much. To seoure it ror building rail-
roaCb wo must got it from tnoso who
havo it; those who as trustees or
financial brokers can assemble the
ismall Jinvosfiments of many (people
until sulllclent sum !. obtained.
Responsible men who handl" money
of the army of small Investors ae
properly very careful. Taey Invest
not so much where tho largest re
turns are promised as where the great
est measiuo of safety and security Is
assurad. To do loss would be to prove
unfit for the trust roposod In them by
tho many people who send them their
.savings for Investment. Theso men
havo been appealed to many times
within tho past two years n furnish
funds for construction of rallroa Is in
Oklahoma. They say
Listen!
They say -that theso trast funds
can be Invested with a fellnt: ot safe-
ty onlv where tho laws of a stato are

That is plain talk but It's iho exact
situation.
You would not think 'wll of a phy-
sician who wouM conceal from you
tho nature of your ailment If you
were Indisposed or decolvo you aa to
the proper remedy. When .mythmg
Is wrong tho best thlus to know is
the truth. Then the remedy can t .
applied.
If the spirit -Qf QKlanonia s being
misrepresented either1 at homo or
abroad by a few solfseklng politicians
the people ought not pnly to know it
but thoy ought to apply tho remedy
without Uolay. AValtlng la expensive.
It requires a wholq lot of politicians
of the demagogue order to bo worth
1200000000 to tho state.
