LET'S GROW AGAIN.
Now that the dual city government is solved let's
rest a little in the disturbing and disorganizing agi-
tation of elections and join our energies in promoting
schemes to push the city forward again.
]>et us make the city grow again.
While other leading cities that have had booms
are bearing a heavy burden of debt in their relapse,
Guthrie is in a conservative condition, the property
owners and merchants being out of debt. Tills is an
attractive condition when the whole country is on
a standstill and can be made inviting to those who
desire to better their condition.
Let us now expend the $100,000 already voted In
building that municipal bath house, to exploit our
mineral waters to their fullest extent. If this city
■were larger and its taxable values allowed, a million
dollars would not be too much to expend for such
purposes. The virtues of the water have been fully
sustained in the numerous cures made. Not a single
failure has been reported. The faith of the people
of Guthrie is as strong today as it was when first
they were discovered. Five regular wagons now
make their living delivering the water in the city,
and hundreds of gallons are shipped away. But
without advertising on a large scale, the process of
attracting the outside world is too slow. If every city
in the United StateB wes as convinced of the medi-
cinal virtues of these waters as are the people of
Guthrie, and as large proportion used them, what a
profit it would be to Guthrie and what a blessing to
ailing humanity everywhere.
A gold mine right under our feet Is going to
•waste for the working. I-et's develop it for all It
is worth.
V SFE( riiATIOX THAT IIAS MA>Y SIDES
The Oklahoman speculates that Dennis Flynn is
leaving the state which he once represented in con-
gress and in which he strew wealthy, because he sees
that Oklahoma is hopelessly democratic. It adds the
idea that with his going the party narrows to Bird
McOulre and Jim Harris, and that by that it is still
more hopelessly democratic.
There are probably other reasons why Flynn is
leaving Oklahoma for Oregon, "to go into the lum-
ber business with BUI Grimes." Ho sees that there is
no more chance to make money in Oklahoma City for
probably ten. fifteen or twenty years. It, will take
that long to take out the inflation and resolve the
equities of its real estate back' to bed rock, which
means that a large proportion of those now owning
It will lose it. and even those who hold the mortgag-
es wont be able to hang on. and it will go back to
third and fourth holders before it will take an up-
ward move again. This has been the experience of
all large booming towns.
•As to the political side, Flynn and Grimes are
the examples of men who play politics for money.
When there is nothing more to be made they leave
the field of their activity. Which shows that they
never had the Interests of the state at heart which
they represented. As to the future possibilities of
the republican party of Oklahoma because Flynn Is
leaving the state—they will be greater. The old
order of things political, as many others, has gone by
in Oklahoma. A new republicanism will rise, and
because of similar sins of the democracy, will sweep
it from the field. The democracy in three years is
showing to be a bigger burden on the people than
had got to be under eighteen years, and that under
the far-away rule of a territorial government, not
directly responsible to the people. The chaos of
the democracy is on now, with every department
fighting the other and the rank and file of the demo-
crats themselves fighting them all.
Hence we repeat that the elimination of Flynn is
* removal of a weight off the republican party rather
than a weakening of Its chances to once more ad-
minister *he affairs of this state.

A FEW si'«<IKSTIONS TO SHIMMS OK E>GMSH.
All modern languages are subject to and affected
by the evolutionary laws of usage and advance as
the rear guard of arts and sciences. Research.
Invention and discovery re iulre ne.v nomenclature
and an extended vocabulary, and old words undergo
mutation and modernization. Aviation, for instance.
has required the coining of many new words, and the
automobile demands a small vocabulary peculiar to
Itself: also a slow but constant change Is taking place
in the shortening and simplifying of older words, and
a few becoming obsolete. It is therefore necessary
for those who aspire to speak and write correctly to
refer very often to a reliable dictionary.
A good rule in writing is to verify the spelling
and meaning of all words in which the writer has any
doubt. In reading, he should not pass over a word
without knowing its meaning and pronounciation. That
he may make sense out of what is read will not
suffice, for thoroughness requires complete know-
ledge of the language read. There are books that may
send one to the dictionary very many times, which
will require time and labor but this is the only way to
acquire the full meaninug of what is read, and to
broaden ones knowledge of the language and in-
crease and expand his vocabulary. Each such refer-
ence is a forward step on the highroad to correct
English.
Another valuable acquisition is to become a critic.
not openly for such do not make friends, but In-
wardly for ones own education. As a rule, lecturers.
ministers and many orators speak correct English, in
fact it is unpardonable in a lecturer to speak other-
wise, and H they should pronounce a word differ-
ently from your pronounciation. refer to the diction-
ary and see who is right. You may have been pro-
nouncing a very commonplace word incorrectly; for
examples: comparable, contract, etc., and of the new-
words, aviation and automobile.
It is unquestionably disappointing, however to
refer to a dictionary and not find the word one is
looking for. This will not happen, if reference is
made to an up-to-date unabridged dictionary, such as
Webster's New International Dictionary, which is now
being delivered by the publishers. Among the four

lael, tne czar's only brother, might
I be restored to the honors which he

i Hie story is replete with romance
'intrigue and statecraft in which tne
czar, the grand duke and beautiful
Ekatarina,a girl of high social
standing but not of royal blood,
played the principal roles. When
the grand duke's infatuation with
Ekatarina first became known to
the czar he was very much incensed.
Soon afterward fikatarina married
a rich Moscow banker, Mamontoff,
and the affair with Michael passed
from the indulgent brother to tbe
province of the holy synod, chief
authority of the orthodox church.
Mamontoff is the richest man in
Moscow; the town of Russian mil-
lionaires , where Ekatarina's parents
likewise are leaders in society.
Mamontoff quickly developed the
jealous temepament of an Othello,
and watched his wife like a Turk.
ix>ve making between Michael and
Ekatarina was reduced to the ex-
change of burning letters, but when
spies delivered one of the duke's
missives to the banker he gave an
explosion of wrath that startled the
Moscow society.
Mamontoff was not only jealous
but brutal. Winding Ekatarina's
blond tresses around his arm, he
dragged her on the floor of her
boudoir, demanding all letters that
the grand duke had sent her before
and after the mariage. When he
he "beat her like a mujik," and
threw her out of doors. The matter
was taken to the czar and patch-

That Guthrie people should buy the products of
their home factories should be an idea so ever pres-
ent, that they could not walk, eat or sleep without
thinking about It. Especially is this true of the two
flouring mills. These mills not only make as good
flour as any other but they buy the wheat of the
surrounding farmers, who again spend their money
here and whom It encourages to raise wheat, but the
labor used in the mills and the profits are all spent
here. The two mills here are doing fine, and as can
be seen by an advertisement elsewhere by one of
them, can extend their business by proper support.
Guthrie flouring mills are fast getting the reputa-
tion of making the best flour in the Southwest and
their shipments reach as far as Europe and Japan.

A (Ol VHiV DI>XER.
The many Guthrie citizens who were, the guests
of the Antl-horsethief picnic basket dinner that the
wives and daughters prepared, realized once more
how much better things cooked direct from the
fresh products of the field taste. And another
quality that a basket dinner possesses is that it seem-
ingly never gives out. Everybody was fed that came,
and given hot coffee, and yet there was still some-
thing left.
Cannot Guthrie some <'ay reciprocate by giving a
basket dinner at Mineral Wells park to all the lxvgan
county farmers, their wives and children? It would
be a great tie that binds.
A TEST CASE OK INTEREST TO FARMERS
A test case in Shawnee whether the county weigh-
er has the exclusive right to weigh, Is of peculiar In-
terest. The cotton raisers near Wannette were not
satisfied with the services of the official weigher at
that place and bought a scale and installed one of
their own men. He was arrested and jailed, and one
hundred farmers went his bond in a habeas corpus,
and got him out of jail pending the trial of the
case. It is the first test case whether the official
county weigher has the exclusive right to do public
weighing. |
PUBLIC RIGHTS AMI PERSONAL SELFISHNESS.
•There are certain men In each city denounce all
persons and all public policies that will not lend their
aid to their system of getting the lion's share out
of every city franchise, or public enterprise. These
men, because of a combination of capital and organiz-
ed clique, overawe public opinion and hammer down
all opposition to themselves.
Some of these men do not like the Register be-
cause on all occasions it stands for the rights of all
the citizens rather than the favored few. The Reg-
ister wants that character of men to know that it '>

City boys, numbering owenty or more

very congenial, especially the femi-
nine portion. In consekuence they
have been spending their Sundays
strolling round Newkirk, and trying
to win the affections of the Newkirk

complained thnt the attentions of the
visitors were unwelcome, their New-

force with them.
Matters were pretty warm all day
and a spirit of excitement pervaded
Main street, and the business part
of town. Groups of town boys stood
together, discussing affairs In low
tones, while the enemy strolled in-
dependently up one side of the street
and down t heother.
In the evening the crisis came, and
the two forces clashed. The battle
waxed furiously for almost an hour,
flrst Arkansas City, then Newkirk
getting the upper hand. But New-
wirw was on her own ground, and
maintained the firmer stand, so that
one by one the enemy surrendered,
and left the liome boys victorious.
