Keep your eye on that demonstra-
tion farm which Henry Price and F. F
Ferguson are conducting near town.
Hitherto nobody has known exaaly
tow much this Washita Valleye ?oil
will produce and we phail have a
chance fo'fTrTd out and It is safe to
gay that even th natives will h sur-
prised. . 'O
King George V. will no doubt have
his share of troubles. It's a Lard job
at best to be king so we are told
Sad" T.I Themore difficult when you
haven't any power to do things. Still
we have troubles enough of our own
and are cot going to worry over
George's affairs.
o
Chickasha Is to have a Chautauqua
this year and that's another good
thing. It will afford wholesome In-
structive entertainment and the
t'nited Charities will put a few more
dollars Into their hospital fund. No
doubt the Chauf-ujiia wil eHbi-rUy
patronized.
If these Oklahoma City fellows had
Just stayed long enough we would
have shown them what a hospitable
people live here and they would also
have seen the best if not the biggest
town of its size In the state.

Muskogee is claiming a population
of over 23000." In view of early an-
nouncements from the census bureau
It might be well for some of our ambi-
tious towns to become more conserva-
tive In their estimates.
Complaint has been made against
Postmaster Hose because. It is said
he' has reglected to read tlie post
cards for several days during his clos-
ing out sale of stamps. Mr. Rose de-
nies the' allegation.

By decree of the supreme court the
people of Oklahoma w ill vote again on
the booze question and Col. Ike Cloud
says "Let the people rule."

When jou consider the enthusiasm
of the Oklahoma City booster ia Isn't
fcUrprlsing that their little village is
growing so fast.

"grand daddy" petitions and a good

THE "GRANDFATHER" CLAUSE.
Th ablest statement that we have
3 it seen concerning the new election
law Is one recently Isued frcm the of-
fice of the state Democratic executive
committee by Chairman Fred P. Brah-
Btu. Such a statement is timely both
because "of the lateness of the law's
introduction and because the Republi-
can press of the state Is purposely
confusing the minds of the voters. It
has been intimated in some cases and
openly asserted in other cases that
the avowed purpose of the law Is to
disfranchise all negroes all Indian
and J1 illiterate white citizens.' It
lias been charged also that the law
Is directed at the Oklahoma farmer.
Ia reply to all these charges or mis-fyr'-
ra'Pr (Ur none of theai are
true) Mr. Branson has issued hi mas-
terly statement which ought to finally
thow our citizens just what the law
really Is From Lis statement we
trailer the following facts. The pro.
posed law if it becomes effect! va wis!
.Dot affe"t the suffrage right of a sin-
fcle Intelligent citizen.

suffrage right of a siLgle white citi-
zen. .
The proposed law wlil not a!f't
the suffrage iiht of a single intelli-
gent negro.
The proposed law will disfranchise
every illiterate negro in Oklahoma.
As to the assertion that the pro-
posed law is directed at the fartn'-r
the least that we can say is that the
charge is iiO compliment to the men
who tiil the soil. On its very face
it Is a bold affirmation that our coun-
try people are the inojt ignorant class
of our citizens. As we have observed
the law is a blow at Illiteracy and
how can It affect the farmer more
than it affects any CLher cla.p unless
the farmer '.s the most Ignorant of
Oklahomans? The charge if it had
any foundation in fact (which it has
rot) would still be ?n insult to ths
agricultural people of the state. Hut
wre have already seen that the only
c!a;? of people that the law can p ssi-
bly affect is the illiterate negro.
Therefore the charge that the law i
a blow at the farmer Is either the
spawn of an excited Imag'nation or
the product of those "who loveth and
rnaketh a He."

AS TO GROWTH ?
Oklahoma has grown rapidly; ad-
vance census figures Ehow that be-
yond doubt. Our cities have increased
in population largely because many
of our rural communities have been
peopled and Improved and our pro
ducing power has been nj' e than
trebled. Strange as it may Svvtn our
manufacturing increase has been much
less than any other Industry. With
the cheapest fuel in the west and with
a tremendous area. -i J (traie territory
all of the time increasing in capacity
to consume the finished product still
we are far from where we should be
in the matter of caring for the fin-
ished products 'of commerce says the
Guthrie Leader. " " '
Is it possible that in our rapid
growth and because we have prosper-
ed by reason of such abilities to mas-
ter the science of producing the raw-
materials we have been negligent of
duties as to the placing of factories?
The balance of trade is la our fa-
vor. It is true but the millions we
expend to others for. manufactured
products does not indicate we have at-
tained that degree of commercial fore-
sight necessary to make us assume our
rightful place. We have the fuel 1
abundant and cheap; we produce raw-
materials; we have billions of dollars'
worth of mineral materials; we have
the marble the sillicas the kaolin the
gyp the salt we have so much may
we hot be a trifle improvident? May
it not be that our -.vealth makes us
careless? Are we husbanding our re-
sources? Certainly we have not done as well
as we should in the manufacturing
line and it is equally true we should
make haste to amend the wrong. If
wrong it be; otherwise to overcome
obstacles it obstacles there be.
We all want Oklahoma to prosper
she Is prospering. Let us join hands
and pocketbooks and make her the
most prosperous elate of the entire
southwest.
