ERANM'S IDEA OF COD
W. C. Brann. late of Iconolast
fame once wrote as follows ia re
sponse to the question whether
he was an atheist:
"I be'ong to bo particular cult
or creed. I do know beyond the
peradventure of dorM that the
mighty universe is not without a
master. His origin is beyond my
comprehension; I cannot under-
stand the creation; how then can
I comprehend the Creator? I know
nothing ot the future I spend no
t time speculating upon it I am
overwhelmed by the past and at
death grip of the present. At the
grave God draws the line between
the two eternities. Never has liv-
ing man lifted the veil ot death
and looked beyond. Revealed re-
ligion was not born of reason or
nursed by knowledge; it is the
child of love of pain and lives be-
tween the rosy breasts of hope.
There is a Diety. I have felt His
presence and heard His voice. I
have ben cradled in His robe. All
that is ot ever will be. is but the
visible garment of God. Seek not
to know of His ptans or purposes.
I ask no written covenant wilh
God for He is my father; I trust
without requiring priest or pre-
late to endorse His note. As I
write my little son awakes and
comes groping through the dark-
ness to my door. He sees the
light shining through the transom
returns to his little bed and lies
down to dream. He knows that
beyond the light his father keeps
watch and asks no more. Through
a thousand celestial transoms
streams the light cf God. Why
should I fear the sleep of death;
the unknown terrors of the star-
less night waves of the river Styx?
Why should I fear the sleep of
death with assurance from the
lips of men that the wisdom love
and power of my heavenly Father
will not fail?
Pauls Valley has passed an or-
dinance requiring the laying of
sidewalks in a district designated
by p;tioners. Will some of Chick-
aska's enthusiastic town builders
kindly start a few petitions?
Every democrat should

The Chickasha way is to do
things and the funds for the fair
will be raised In a jiffy next Tuesday.

CAM-
Aa exchange suggests the fol-
low inij questions to be put f pro
spective candidates.
Who are you?
What have you to do for this
community that that they should
confer this honor upon you?
Are you a republican?
Are you a democra't?
Have ycu been faithful to your
party nominees at all times?
Are you under any obligations
to the railroad interest?
Are you under any obligations
to any trust or corporation such
as the coal trust the ice trast the
telephone trust the lumber trust
the school book trast. the leather
trust the farm machinery trust
or the liquor trust?
Would jou favor the miative
and referendum?
Do you believe in the election of
United States senators by the di-
rect'vote of the people?
Who are the people that induc
ed you to aspire to this office?
Have you any reciprocative ar
rangements with any other candid-
ate or set of men?
Have you ever held office? If
so is your record clear?
If Mr. Candidate ran answer all
these questions to your eniire sat
isfaction and convince that be is
not lying promise him your sup-
port. Tom Dwyer's idea is a good
one. Advertise the fair in Iowa
and Missouri and other northern
states. Bring the neople here and
show 'em the products of the peer-
less new state.
Raise it in two hours of course
we will. The citizens of Chicka-
sha will subscribe $2000 for a
county fair next Tuesday after
noon. There's no such word as
fail.
Capt. Buchanan wants an old
soldier' reunion in connection
with the fair. It's a capital idea.
Let's have it. A day for the vet-
erans will bring out a big crowd.
The County Fair has been de
creed. Now it's up to the busi
ness people to come across with the
funds. . You can't afford to back
down on the proposition.
The democratic club will meet
Monday night there'll be some
thing doing. Turn out and hear
the old time gospel of democracy.
Some of the weed forests about
town afford strong testimonials to
to the fertility of our soil but they
don't look yery sightly.
What has become of the drastic
order issued by the council requir
ing those ponds about town to be
filled up?
While we are doing things let's
do 'em right. Make the fair the
biggest event of the kind in the
new state. It will pay.
To be sure Chickasha will have
25000 people within five years
but she will have to hustle to sret
'em.
