Second Class Mail Matter
CHICKASHA OKLAHOMA MONDAY APRIL 27 1903
"OLAHOMA HAS ARRIVED!"
When (he Tulsa boosters 130 strong swooped down
on the Chicago Board of Trade with their brass band last
Saturday they put the whole market out of business for
& few minutes.
Taken by surprise by the onslaught of the puissant Okla-
houians. the traders stopped buying the telegraph instru-
ments ceased to click and all the vast machinery of trade
tstood still. According to a press dispatch New York felt
the break in the usual tension. So did London and Paris.
' What's the matter?" wired New York London and Paris.
-Oklahoma arrived" went flashing back over the wire.
"OKLAHOMA HAS ARRIYER!"
We thought the whole world was apprised of this fact
when we gave th.it whoop on the issuance of the statehood
proclamation and on sundry and divers other occasions
re have made noise enought to convince Christendom that
tve had arrived. The reply of Chicago operators to the
queries from New York and abroad was not necessary
therefore except as explanatory of the particular dis-
turbance on the Board.
The Oklahoma special like unto which there is none
has been on the way for nineteen years and she polled
into the statehood Etation with a full head of steam last
November. Oklahoma has not only arrived but she has
been giving the nation and the world unmistakable evi-
dence that she is here. Panoplied with all the rights of
self government bounding with life and energy throbbing
with business and commercial activity inspired by present
prosperity and a realization of unlimited possibilities the
youngest state in exhuberance of youth has attracted the
attention of the whole family.
It Is the spirit of Oklahoma to get out of the ol dbeaten
paths and to blaze the way and hence it Is that we do
things that fitartle the rest of the country. The incident of
the Tulsa boosters and the board of trade was by no means
peculiar. When we made a constitution in advance of any
yet written a genuine double stake and ridered document
and put it into operation the world lookede on in wonder.
When we passed a unique hanking law without waiting for
aid consent or advice from any foreign' power again the
nation sat up and took notice of our doings. Andtha infant
prodigy is still in the game; she is arriving bigger every
day.

wise heads; hwe clear swing men can read 'lie real mean-
ing of the present signs and discern the future.
A dozen' e?rs ago these same sluggish minds would
have given you the ha ha if you had told them that in
ltdS Chickasha would be such a city as she is today but the
fact that some men can't foresee the future hasn't stopped
the wheels of progress. It has been so in the history of
every city. When Fort Worth and Oklahoma City were
struggling hamlets few could believe that they were
coming cities. Why not get wise from the experience of
these and countless other towns and realixe that in Chick-
asha are the possibilities of a great city?
Get out your map and study up your geography. Note
the location of Chickasha the vast territory of which
she is the logical business center and into which our
railroads now radiate. If we do not rise to a position
of sup. emacy in this rich section of the country it will
be our own fault. It will simply be because we do not press
the battle .as we should.
And then you should begin to think more seriously
and realize more fully that Chickasha possesses the ele-
ments that will make her a manufacturing center if we
will utilize our advantages. The factories that dot the
streams of New England and that flourish in proximity
to the coal and ga3 fields can be duplicated along the
Washita. The water power plant which is now being
Installed can be made the entering wedge whereby the
factory period in the development of the city can be opened.
"Get factories" should be one of the slogans of the town-
builders from this time on until the raw products of the
Washita valley are worked up into finished products in
Chickasha.
The man who believes in the future greatness of the
"Queen of the Washita" has ample grounds for his faith.
The only thing that need be feared is that we shall not
use to the fullest extent possible the opportunities that
are before us.

WEIGHED IN THE BALANCES
The following from the Trade Review and Industrial
Record gives "food for thought."
"Every town in the southwest ': hc weighed in the
balances. Push .and energy will enrry oor.io (d the zenith
of power and influence while others irre-iolut. will linger
and decay. Th...-e that win are in the fight a. d when the
day's march is done their banners will be covered with
glory. The scu.thwfat Is a field amply large for the
population of all Christendom and every year thousands of
immigrants are casting their lots with this favored section.
The cities that grow will watch for homeseekers and pre
pare to offer them inducements of some kind. The down-
ward tendency of most towns Is caused by a citizenry
that has little foresight and no .appreciation of existing opportunities."

INTEREST THE FARMERS
There is no reason why the membership of a Commercial
Club should be confined to the residents of Chickasha.
The farmer in this section are as deeply interested in the
I success of town enterprises as are the business men of the place
I or at least they should be for what will help along the town
I toward prosperity will also help the farmer.
ioc Lrtruer me town is iue osiier toe local mar net ior ine j
fl farmers' produce the more equitable will be taxation and the
H better education facilities. All these are matters that concern the
n farmers in the immediate neighborhood of the town
Some business men feel that a membership in clubs organ!-
t zed for promotion of towH industries should be confined to busl-
y ness men; that perhaps the farmer would not be in accord with
H the town resident in improvemts.
This is an error.
It is lack of confidence in the good judgment of the average
farmers.
Then again the farmer sometimes thinks that he is not wel-
come in an association of business men. There is no good reason
why these sentiments should exist. It is only by a harmonious
pulling together of the residents of the rural distiicts and the
business men that the great -st good can be brough about for the
borne town a-; a d.sirable market center and desirable place to
trade
Don't fail to attend th. meeting at the Court house this evening
at 7 oclock and karn something about gardening as well as farm-
ing. Every citizen can be benefitted by the lecture as w.-ll as the
farmers.

weeks.
There is still a goodly space between
the anti-trust bill and the ..nil-trust
law. The house lias chopped the sen-
ate measure into bits. In all likely-
hood a conference will have to wres-
lie with the bill before it can he enact-
ed in a slaiule.
An important bill tl.ut passed the
senate l".i week was that by Mr.
Franklin .emulating the employment
of child labor along lines sum'sted
by Miss Kate I.ernard state eotnmls-
t;.iier of charities and corrections.
To the Borrow of the male ocials
and their employes not to rnentioi
the subordinates in the legislative
brain he-: the appi otin:' 1011 bill is .till
"pendfn?." The prospects for the em-
ployes are of the most gloomy. The
senate it will he remembered inserted
a section creating the position and
providing for the secretary to the lieut-
enant governor; it !s almost certain
that the bouse will not .count en a nee
this. The house did recede from its
old position on the assistant to the
state mine inspector or oil inspector
as he waft dubbed by the senate but
is not of the mind to further compro-
mise. The state board of health bill by
Senator Johnson will go to conference.
The action of the house 'n reducing
the personnel of the board from five
to one is a sure shot that it will met t
with unfavorable action when resub
mitted to the upper brant h.
The Kills anti-lobby bill that of Sen-
ator Taylor providing for a full crew
and which the house amended by vir
tually striking out the word "fill" the
! eight hour lull for despatches by
.Senator Brooks and the militia bill
by Representative Deyerle are new ac
quisition in the conference circles.
The slate printer in discovering the
alleged overcharges by the Guthrie
Lender which has been furnishing the
legislative printing and anticipating
the so-called graft on the part of the
Guthrie Stale t'apital whose editor
j changed the original contract unknown
I to the printing hoard has put himself
i in favor and this session may yet see
I the sanction of the bill pio-.-'oing for
j the immediate establishment of a state
printing bureau. Hills providin.tr for
'the printery are pending in both
' houses.
I Among the bills and resolutions tint
the governor has signed this week i
the resolution providing for the inves
tigation of the Oklahoma historical so
ciety. The wiong construction has
been placed upon the word investiga-
tion" as used In Huh act. It does not
mean that the society Is to be investi-
gated hi the ordinary scm;e of being
I probed. The legislature merely desires
