will assign no reason but plead for more time. As do
other party orators the eloquent gentleman will relate
the oft-repeated story of how the leaders of the fraud
old party weep (just before an election) because of the
cruel bouncing and battering twisting and tumbling the
common people must endure at the hands and feet of the
over-fattened trusts and monopolies.
Judge Turner will have reason and right as his allies
in the stump speaking contest and he will explain them
lucidly and eloquently.
Judge Thomas is like a lawyer with a bad case. How-
ever he knows how to take advantage of every point
against him and turn it to a seeming argument in his
favor ne is certainly an able campaigner and has much
of that platform magnetism that stirs his audience-
something of that power that gave Tom Corwin the title
of "rabble rouser."
The speaking Thursday and Friday will certainly be
well worth hearing.
PARKER AND DAVIS
POLITCAL ORATORY.
Pryor Creek is to have a grand old fashioned picnic
with oratory interspering the program of feasting and
field sports. The committee have 'selected Hon. John
B. Turner of this city to shoot the first gun for Democ-
racy on Thursday. Judge Turner is well qualified to
present the Democratic side of the issues now confront-
ing the country. The gentleman will share tlie plat-
form with Hon. C. E. Castle of Wagoner. On the fol-
lowing day Hon. John R Thomas an able "political war"
horse" and veteran of many campaigns will tell the
confiding populace how the Republican party have en-
tered the breech day after day and saved the nation;
why toiling masses call them blessed for insuring good
crops and for causing the wonderful gold supply of the
Klondike; how Republican policies have given the coun-
try an abundance of rain and sunshine; how the poor
children of the Igorrotts and the Island of Guam have
been clothed at public expense while 5000 white children
in the Cherokee nation are deprived of school privileges;
how millions of dollars were paid the French for anti-
quated and rusted machinery on tho Ljthmus ot
Panama because there was no useless machinery to be
loaded upon the goveroment on a commission basis from
buyer and seller on the more favorable Xicaraguaran
route; why the department scandals remain uninvesti-
gated except as regards the stealings of a few of the
"little fellows:" the reasons why criminal prosecution
was not inaugurated in the Northern Securities merger
case ecr when supreme court authority was given for
such action; why militarism and imperialism aid the
common people and not the trusts; why tariff reciprocity
treaties are entered into only upon the request of oz
or the other of the great combinations of captains of in-
dustry because they know best when and where they
can be better served; how a one man government is the
best for all the ieople if not ?11 of them at least for
the personal friends rf the strenuous one who need high
official positions in the army and navy in order to dem-
onstrate to true and tried officers that worth ability
and heroic performance does not count when promotions
are being considered: why in the advancement of this
great country it is necessary in order to keep abreast of
the times to supplant (for the good of the masses) brag-
adoccio bluster and insult for the conservative states-
manship of former days.
Judge Thomas will present to his bearers many more
reasons why the voters should retain at the pie counter
the fat and sleek eentlemen upon the theory that they
are already stuffed and that it will hereafter take
Ies-s to keep them in condition than it would to fatten
an entire new crew for the ship of state.
He will give the people reasons why the Republicans
are better fitted to legislate against trusts yet for their
failure to regulate the monster aggregations of wealth lie
HENRI WATTERSON.
Mr. Watterson in an editorial in the Louisville Courier-Journal
says Judge Parker's spefh of acceptance
"will not only satisfy but delight lovers of constitutional
Democracy."
"It is the voice of one crying in the wilderness of
centralization imperilism and autocracy into which we
have floundered the clear call to the true faith of popu-
lar sovereignity on which the republic was founded by
which it has been maintained.and through which it must
be perpetuated.
"It is the voice of a Democrat of a statesman of a
leader who at a crisis when such service seemed most
lacking and most needed has risen up to stay the wor-
ship of strange gods and to conduct the people back to
' the true altar of free government the constitution.
"It is always as the sound American the clear-headed
and trained jurist that Judge Parker applies the
measure of const itution to the problems now confront-
ing the country."
Commenting on Judge Parker's announcement that
lie will not be a candidate for renomination if elected
Mr. Watterson says:
"If Judge Parker had never opened his lips to say more
than this he would have established a strong claim to
the confidence of the American people for more than
anything else save a return to the government of the
constitution limiting the tenure of such officials as the
President to one term. Many of the evils which was the
foundation of institutions are directly attributable to a
lack of such limitation and as long as there is such a
lack and as long as human nature is human nature these
evils must continue and multiply. No man in his heart
of hearts can better realize than he who is Judge Park-
er's opponent in the present campaign.'"

The question of taxation in the Indian Territory is
one that must engage the attention cf all classes and
conditions and in all localities in the country as well
as in the town and among Indian citizens us well as
"whites very soon. The time is coming shortly when t lie
people of this great territory must meet the responsi-
bilities of self government which is only to be main-
tained by taxation. All property will be taxed within a
very short time and no one can expect to escape its bur-
den. The equipment and maintenance of schools must
eventually come theough taxation and the government
that we are now so strenuously seeking to establish will
have to be kept up by tribute of the property owners.
The sooner the lands of these Indian nations become sub-
ject to taxes the better it will be for the whole people
and the more property that can be readied by a public
levy the lighter will be the common burden. At pres
ent there is no more vita! question before the people of
the Indian Territory than that of taxation.
