between the two cities is in the size but Chickasha will soon catch up with
th "Windy City."
Here it is again: Have you registered? Dont put it off Brother Demo-

A country correspondent of the Exprers gives merchants some good
advice on the best way to fight the mail order houses. The writer advises
a liberal use of space in the local newspapers. It's the best home trade ar-
gument thi can be made.

Boise May 9 The trial of Wm. D.
Haywood secretary of the Western
Federation of Miners charged with
complicity in the murder of former
Governor Steunenberg began at 10
this morning both sides announcing
ready. In jury panel reporting today
there were only twenty-seven names.
Each side has ten peremptory chal-
lenges and there are likely to be many
disqualifications.
The court room was only half filled.
Bailiffs stood in the aisles ready to
preserve order but they had little to
Co.
At the defendant's table John
Murphy general counsel of Western
Federation of Miners sat with the
other attorneys for Haywood. Back
of the defendant's counsel table sat
Mrs. Haywood wife of the prisoner
in an invalid chair. She was ac-
companied by two daughters and a
nurse.
Haywood appeared in the custody
of a deputy sheriff. He was appar-
ently in goo:l health despite long confinement.

In unmistakable terms the Commercial club democrats and republicans
declared for immediate statehood. The people here will vote for the con-
tstitution almost to a man. It is a business proposition with the people here
and they dont care what the politicians say about it..
The State Capital which is rabidly opposed to the initiative and refer-
endum slipped a cog Sunday and allowed the evchange editor to get in a
magazine clipping showing the excellent results of this method of legislation
in Oregon. Accidents inevitably happen in the best regulated newspaper
offico.
Our new Commercial club president Ed F. Johns is a worker and al-
ways an enthusiast for Chickasha. He has always responded when the call
wc.s made for workers for any public enterprise. With the active co-opera-lion
of nil the members Mr. Johns will make the club a splendid working
force for Chickasha.
C. II. RubssII made one of the most aggressive and efficient Commercial
club presidents Chickasha ever had. . He waa always ready to do and his
heart was in the work. The city owes him a lasting debt of gratitude for this
work he Jid and he will always occupy a prominent place in the affections
of the people here. Good luck to Russell wherever he may be.
