SECOND WARD MIXED.
Outsiders Raise Trouble Among Re.
publicans.
Thero Is trouble In the wost half of
tho Second ward. Saturday night's
Republican mooting did not end as ex-
pected. Republicans outsldo the ward
got up the mooting for the purpose.
It Is claimed of tocahlng the 'stnl-
warts" of that wawl tholr duty and
tho 'stalwarts" resented the Interfer-
ence Judgo Goo. Groon. of tho FIrts
ward E. I. Sndl8r of the First; S. ID.
Seeley of tho oast half of the Second
nnd R E. Steward Fifth ward were
the principal speakers.
When they got through the audi
once cried lustily for Judgo Harper
Cunningham to toll thorn how he felt
The judgo croatcd pemewhat of a Btlr.
Ho began by thanking the outside
gentlemon for coming Into tho ward to
teach tho Republicans tholr duty but
wanted to know In return what they
Intended to do. Ho was tired of this
deception of lining other fellows up
nnd demanded to know If those samo
gentlemen were going to vote for Bur-
ton for street commissioner. It was
useless to dony thnt herotoforo the
Second ward hud votod against overy
colored candidate and the fact might
as well bo acknowledged. These same
men who demand tha( the negroes
vote against Al DoWItt. the Independ-
ent Republican candidate for city
tlcrk will scratch Burton on the Re
publn an ticket They ask the" negro
to vote 'or straight" while they will
iotc for at least one Democrat. He
believed In honesty In these things
He did not believe in deceiving tho
nrnro Al DeWltt has been a life-
long Republican nnd tho colored men
had more right to vote for him thnn
t train Republicans had to vote
flfa!nst Durton.
Tho Judge's talk oponod tho oyoa of
the colored mon nnd they applauded
Judgo Cunnlnghnm's speech to tho
-echo.
At times during tho Judgo'a scathing
remarks to tho ljly whites and those
outsiders who insist on ruiinlng Sec-
ond ward politics the oxcltomont rose
to fever heut. Altogether It was a
lively scene and the frequent yelling
"Give Jt to 'em Judge" showed that
tho negro auditors realized the truth
of the situation "

GOT MORE THAN A8KED FOR.
In " the decision of Judgo Burford
granting tl)e peremptory writ of man-
damus to compel the socrotary of tho
territory to publish and certify Coun-
cil Bill No. 50 as a law duly enacted
by the legislature the A. nnd M. col-
lege at Stillwater sow ?64000 appro-
priation Instead of $10000. The explan-
ation of this Increased appropriation
occurred from tho fact that when the
council bill appropriating $40000 for
ie college was returned by Governor
Barnes without hie approval the con-
ference committee of both houses on
appropriation inserted In tho bill nn
Item of $8000 for a barn for the col-
lege under the belief that the cov-
ernor's veto had leit tho collego with-
out any appropriation nnd now thnt
the $-16000 has beon doclarod valid
tho college Is just $8000 bettor off
than It expected to bo.
WISE AND TIMELY ADVICE.
Sunday's Capital contained a well
wrltton and tlmoly odltorlnl on tho
duty and responsibility of the citizens
in city elections and especially tho
citizens of Guthrlo In tomorrow's elec-
tion from which The Lender extracts
this sensible paragraph:
"This Is why city governments aro
so inefficient and scandalous. They
ure carelessly Impatlontly foolishly
given over to persons who aro neither
efficient nor honorable and who seek
city offices for what can be got for
themselves out of the opportunities
they present."
There is not the slightest Coubt that
our contemporary knows exactly what
it is talking about. It has for years
ben Inside the closed doors with the
city macljjne while the city govern-
ment was run In the exclusive inter-
est of the men whom It Inferentlnlly
refers to as seeking office for what
the can get out of it. The Capital's
advice Hhould be tho tocsin of tho citi-
zens In tomorrow's aleotton and tho
"machine-" should bo turned out to
rust awhllo.

POWER
OF THE
Rev A. B. Nicholas Preached
to the Newspaper Fra
ternify Last Night at
Trinity Episcopal Church
Job 18th chapter 23d verae:
"Oh that my words were now writ
ten' Oh. that they were printed In ft
book "
The words of the text are the ut-
terances of a mighty soul stirred to its
very depths.
Job was afflicted with many trials.
He had to bear most everything Unit
man can Imagine.
Ills wealth was larsrelv deetrared.
The loss of his children preyed upon'
t... . .. .. . - .
nun. a. loauisome msease mane nm
miserable. Then Ins friends misjudg-
ed him and his wife bid him curse Gpd
and dlr
Yet through It all he did not low
faith In God.
And the words that he wished writ
ten In a book and graven in the rook
were those that contained the glorious
lfinster thought and tho bright con
summqtlon of nil things. "I know thnt
my Redeomqr llvoth nnd that ho shall
stand nt tho lnttor day upon tho onrth;
and though nftor my akin worms do
stroy this body yet In my flesh Shall
I soo God."
Now tho words of the patrinrch.
"dC thnt my Words' woro wrlttcr ; On
that they wero printed In a book"
contain tho thought of tho power of
the press.
And first wo havo tho gnrnoring of
Ideas.
Writing is n very nnciont art. In
the Blrs Nimroud Lagard and his com
pnnlons found tho tllo libraries of
Nineveh and Babylon whose cum '
form characters. Prof. Smith of tho
British museum deciphered nnd cnv
us the Chaldean account of Genesis
Worn the words of Job men seemed '
... ......... . . 
to have chiseled their thoughts on the
cliffs of Arabia. Tie Egyptians made
paper from a reed that grows by the
Nile and robbing the goose of her
.UUllIs we havo the scribe and his
lnkhorn.
Tho Romans covored tables with a
coating of wax and marked out their
rocords with a si arp instrument.
Tho ancient books made Nof tho
skins of animals or tho pnpynis wore
in tho form of oils JIko wall paper.
Whllo Mosr received the ton com-
mandments on two tablos of stone
wrltton with tho finger of God.
Thus men struggled to Jot down
tholr thoughts by tho llttlo wedge
characters of Assyria the hierogly-
phics of Egypt the Phoenician alpha-
bet and the block system of the Chi-
nese. But It was reserved tor modern
times to illustrate the full power of
the press. In the middle ot the Fif-
teenth century we have John Guten-
berg printing his first books with
wooden type at Strasbarg. William
Caxton in Eufcland and the famous
Aldlns presses of Italy.
This discovery helped to enlighten
the world and spread au intelligent
knowledge of many Uilngs only hinted.
This may have aided Columbus to
discover this Western hemisphere and
certainly did much to hasten a re-
formation In church and state.
And from that time to this
through the Bullock Hoe nnd Walter
presses till poor MorgonUialer gave
us most of his mind in the Linotype
wo have under God ono of tho most
powerful Inventions of this magnifi-
cent Twentieth century that la dawn-
ing upon ub. Tho powor of tho press
has nevor beon felt before as It Is
today.

but thoy arc making it live in the
hi arts of men
The sanctum may be but a poor un-
furnished room; tho editor's throne
an upturned barrel yet there Ib power
and the m.in is linpressfuir his fellows.
He can be ono of God's prophets In
every day matters that can leid the
people to higher things. Ho can have
he consciousness ot doing his duty In
that state of life In which It has
pleased God to call him.
And this suggests the responsibili-
ties ot tho pross. Sinco God has given
this power to men Ho will hold us
responsible how wo use it. It may be
a groat power for good or evil. I do
not think we want our secular paper)
to bocomo religious and nothing else.
Our church papers are doing a grand
work In that way. But if a sheet is
kept pure and wholesome in tone that
our children may see nothing to inurc
them. If the paper Is above abuse ami
personalities.
If Uie editor and wiltor Is incur-
rfipUble and can not be bought or sold.
Then It is one of the grandest posi-
tions God has given to man The
editor and writer can not be a pope
and claim infallibility but let him bo
independent and state the truth fear-
lessly as he sees It. Let blin puncture
all shams and make wickedness even
in high places hide Its head. Llke
the Roman tribune let him treat all
with thnt fnlr Impartiality that will ex
cite tho administration even of those
that oppose.
Ab Gnrflold used to say. he fbund
somo of tho sweotost fruit growing on
tho other side of party wills.
The patriarch Job said "Oh that
my words woro written! Oh. that
thoy woro printed In a book." But
these words had an unllft In thnm.
Thoy wore optimistic words. Thoy
wero bright with Immortality and God.
And fn this way tho newspaper writer
stands alongside and is a brother to
