' A WORD AT THE FIR8T 8TATE MILE-POST.
Commemorative of the first anniversary of statehood. Tho Leader o mes
to Ite riders I'oday befirlng abundant evidence of tho now stale's prosperity.
One year ngo today Oklahoma territory after years of travail jelned the
sisterhood of s'ates. Filled with optimism and1 tho resources with which to
back up this silrlt of elation. It flouted tho pessimists picked up its burden
and iprccecded tc- occuiiy tho Nation's spotlight. Whcrcforo we arc sur-
passing glad.
Tp Use the vernacular of Uio Street Oklahoma hnB "delivered tho goods."
One year of statehood u.idor a twentieth century constitution and a business
administration makes tho twelfth month glance 'backward vibrant vlth pride.
Uhospectlvely wo pay homage t- Ullllken tho god of luck and good fortune.
Lifting tho veil of tho future reno dlscorn tho God of Bolter Things. Oklahoma
bolng groat xvfhy should wo not extoll hor greatness? iln a word the Infant
state of tho Union possesses all tho resources and all the 'brains necessary
to dovelep these resources natural and acquired owned and prldcfully
oatelled toy each and cvory other state of tho Union. Therefore Tho Leader
la pleased to chant the goodness of Oklahoma and Its capital city
And In passing Tho Leader has no apologies to rffcr for Its humble
.contribution to tho upbuilding of tho territory and state. For fifteen years
The Leader has been on tho firing lino while history has been warm In tho
making. The Leader Is of for and hy Oklahoma. It has gtvwn from a
gaso'.lno engine that didn't work and from a wood Jotter "O" that required
operation to make a "C" to a state Institution possessing all modern
ifacllltles and a cllentelo that novcr wnvers Tho (Leader has kopt even
pace with tho development of territory and state. Its. euccobs Is duo to
Oklahoma loyalty; It has thrlvon on merit anj undying persistency. A
Democratic paper In the very nest of Ucpubtlcanlsm The Loador has passed
through countless adversities. Its struggles havo ibecn hard. But The
Leader has ono on. For fifteen years It has been under the eamo owner-
hlp and management Tho Loader has mado no spectacular fan fares or
flamboyant displays. It has not anight to force normal conditions Into
abnormal channels to Its own hurt and tho consequent harm to tho city. Tho
Leader has persistently and zealously labored for tho 'betterment of Guthrie.
Logan county and; Oklahoma. If nny ono has suffered In this uplift The
Leader grieves but It cannot tarry to hind Imaginary wounds. Tho march
forward for the -state Is relont!bs. It novcr halts; never sleeps nnd Tho
Loader now m In tho vast Is In the vargunrd on tho firing line.
This Issue of Tho Leader comes as a testimonial to the people who
havo maJo Oklahoma great!
OKLAHOMA-
Oklahoma has been tho tepic of

jorlty of top writers havo won their

opinions eo-c&llcd 'Decauso Oklahoma
is courteous nnd expects to bo mis-
represented by honost folk with good
Intent.
Oklahoma can endure hurden of
misrepresentation It tho author ho fair

he does not understand can bo refu-
ted; iwhat Is right vUI win our appre-
ciation ami good will .
We aro tho 4aby state and as such
must expect much advice from tho
older commonwealths and havo our
(errors well advertised. If In tho nota-
tion of our faults our virtues be men-
tioned tho state will not tako excep-
tions. In fact Oklahoma haB room for tho
progressive man; If ho havo capital
ho can make it ourn great returns; If
je has not tho capital but tho energy

petency we also havo that and nil who

WHY OKLAHOMA 18 DEMOCRATIC
Oklahoma Domocracy has been fa

an exact and Incontrovertible truth
to state that the defeat of tho party

NEW"JERUSALEM."
Tho reason no ono has ntn' any
serious statement about tho "New Je-
rusalem" proposition as to locating tho
capital In the' center of tho stato
whore tho stato Is to get land' lay off
samo Into town lots soil awl save the
money to buy other trapping with. Is
wholly and ialoly hocauso the proposi-
tion contained neither a proposition to
act nor one legal method of accom-
plishing the result being voted on.
As state.1 it was a vote to decide
iwhen ithe capital Is located if they
would lio so In cunformlty with the
describe! or attempted to
manner
described in this so-calloJ Idea.
U Is not an amandracnt to the con-
stitution; nor Io It a -way of chooalcg
a capital slto. It offers no more than
the csrprosslon of; the voters as fo the
way of choosing1 a eapkal and Is tho
wildest dream of an impractical
Wreamer. If there were tha least rea-
son hebtnd the proposition "that might
in any manner have to do wth state
affairs the proposition failed because
It had' no constitutional tnajoHiy. But!'
It needed none. St could1 mo as well I o
with ono vote as a million would bo

on a ballot. It can bo state! in kindness-
thnt tho kit-earn was well planned hhU
fell down because thoro was no way
for It to win.

the Now Jerusalem tattered dTcani of
tattcrekf -days ami shining only as ono
of Campbell Russell's jokes .having
Introduced tho bill to jolly those sen-
ators with Ideas that their cities would
tnko tho government homo with them.
So the proposition Is successful only
because It would not ofTer anything
to Jdeclde no matter how the people
voted.

HOW OKLAHOMA WAS SETTLED.
It would take books to tell of tho

David L. Payne the "Fa'.hor or Ok-

ital city was instrumental In securing
the proclamation of President Benja-
min Harrison on April 22nd. 1889
which permitted Payne and his fol
lowers to make settlements In Okla-
homa (originally six countlos) and'
make 60.000 sottlers happy; which re-
ally began the history of our present
state
Oklahoma Territory had an area of
9030 square mlleo and tho Indian
Territory 31100 making a total area
of 70.430.
Ono hundred and five years jigoj In
1803 the new state was a part ot tho
Spanish and French territory. Tho
larger portion ot tho state ' camo
'hrough the Louisiana pvrchasc;
tome through tho admission Of Texas
'nto the Union.
Since the opening In 1889 wlun
'0000 homeseckers made a rush Into

MOTHER'S HAIRPIN.

Pop coul In t make it ring.
Said be: "I'll have to get a man
To tlx the blamed old thing."
My mother uahl. "Oh 'don't do that
Think what youVt' have to pay."
And thon she took a hairpin out
Anl 'fixed it right away.
We loot tho back (door key last week
'Ttvas when the door was locked;
Pop fumed around and said things till
Tho neighbors were all shocked
Then Mom she got a hairpin out
An' poked an" pretty quick
She had tbo bolt turned in tho lock
I Tho hairpin did tho trick.
There's nothln' much that Mem can't
Ho
' With halrplnB seems as like.
One iJay she'll fix Pop's busted watch.
An' next 'twill bo my bike.
If we wus poor I'll bet that she
Could make hard luck take wings
By going 'round the city with
A hairpin flxln' things.

LOVE SPAN8 DISTANCE.
(By Wilbur Bortraml Hinds.)
'TIs quite ionoly In tho gloaming
niten I'm far away from homo;
But a whisper from a love! ono
comei to mo:
"Be of cheer our heart goes with you
wherever you may roam:
And wo mention you at bedtime
whon wo pray."
Then ray thoughts aro tender bettor
and the picture grown apace
Of a hearth ani scenes as dear as
tcar can bo;
Dlstaiiac seems to vanish 'UU ! hear
as face to face
?c communion with the heart that
beats for mc.
Vast mountains rise above me really
tow'rlng to tho sky
Chasms yawn and torrents roar in
Nature's Bway;
Storms loiii proclaim God's awful
penver In thunder tones on
High;
Still como the tones that name me
wcn Love doth pray-
So I'm itoirJerlng believing that the
day is almost hare
When tho mystic ot mind shall yield
the far-off mental message wire-
loss swift and clear.
Will then pass in accents known
from boul to wml.

SAID ABOUT THE LEADER.
'More than 60.000 copies of thU Issue
of Tho Leader .sUll be circulated. Tho
resultant good is already credited to
Guthrie.
Holdcnvilto Tribune: Thero Is one
fearles3 -consistent Democratic paper
In Oklahoma. That paper 13 the
Guthrie Dally Leader. Brother Niblack
is certainly one ;.f Oklahoma's Institu-
tions. Custer County Newa: For straight
Democracy direct from tbe shoulder
:ommend us to the Dally Leader. It
Is state Democracy's solid standby
Sayro Tribune: Tho people of
Beckham county read may papers but
wait for the Dally Leader t. baso their
estimates on The Leader is tho beat
paper In the state.
Wewoka Democrat: Politicians como
and go and newspaper change but the
Guthrie Dally Loader never falters
Niblack is always t the baU
Waukomls Hornet: Tho Guthrie
Leader used to maliciously draw the
fire ef all the newspaper boys In the
territory. Fir many years the Leader
lias ibeon the first paper grabbed In
nowspaper sanctums Thero Is alwaj-i
"something" In Tho Leader. There is
no denying Its popularity Since fhe
Leader mado Logan county white throe
years ago and elected Its owner to th
senate. It has not been so mallcloush
irritating. Tho Londer thai roaliv
achieved moro by supromo moilt than
any tthor paper to say nothing of
putting Agco to sleep.
Hobart Chief: The. Guthrie Leader
has tho best standing t any -paper In
the htste. Aa on indication of how
The Loador stands It may bo said that
Senators Owen and Ooro .both spok
In this section One opposed the
Vrooland bill; the other fav red It
Yet eaoh la his speech said a g od
word Tor The Loador. NIblaoh and
tho Loader have always anado good
E.k City Democrat! There are
papers in Oklahoma that have per-
haps a larger iiarbor sfcop circulation
than tho Guthrie Dally Leader but
none is stronger or more widely read
than the Leader which goes to every
county in the state and is recAgnlcec
as the state paper par excellence.
