GUTHRIE, OKI^A., Al'G. 24, 1922.
The democratic party of Oklahoma
is to bo commended for a new de-
parture on an ancient rule. Iluving
vilified and deserted Wood row Wil-
son into a condition until he is as
good as dead, it now pays him the
tribute of immortality usually due
man after he is actually dead.
To show how completely the demo
craitc office holders think they own
this state and all its assets, note that
the Walton campaign managers used
the Senate Chamber at the state capi-
tal building to save rent of hall as
headquarters. It is this less of the
demarcration line between public and
private ownership in a political party
too long intrenched in office, that
leads lo corruption.
tiUTBKID'S MINfcKAL WATERS.
Guthrie mineral wuters are still the
greatest in the world, as they were
pronounced to be twelve years ago,
when first discovered, if there were
anyone who has to do with the city's
affairs, big enough to exploit them.
As an example, there are two gen-
iuses who have made millions, who
(were farmer Guthrie fc^ti^ens, one
Knowlton, of the 'Knowlton's Danda-
rine" fame the other Wrigley the
chewing gum king.
Yet Guthrie's mineral waters are of
greater value in their line of health
restoration than either of the others.
These Guthrie mineral waters have
never been conceived on a large
enough scale and have never been
done justice to. No big men, nor big
firms attention has ever been drawn
to them. Their fame has never been
exploited forty miles away, and there
are fewer people who know of their
great curative virtues today than
when they were first discovered. Had
the night man—a man who had ex-
perience with health resorts and
knew how to exploit matters of uni-
versal magnitude—been contracted
with twelve years ago to take charge
of the Bath House and the full swing
of all the waters on the city's grounds,
Guthrie would today be the Mecca of
men and women from all over the
world and be « city of at least 35,000
population.
There is no use here to give the
chemical anailysis of these waters,
and what great chronic and other ail-
ments they have cured and can cure.
Hecause in these twelve years not
even the testimonials of these cures
have been kept, they are for-
gotten, and the work of cure and ex-
ploitation has to be done all over
again, as though the waters had never
been heard of before. Even the town
gossip of the many remarkable cures
that used to be performed has died
out.
The exploitation of such things as
curative waters, or patent medicenes,
is a matter of persistancy and con-
trinity on ever larger and larger
scale and into an ever wider and
wider world. That is the way great
inventions are made and great repu-
tation made.
Can Guthrie at this late day take
u pthe slack and achieve a success for
one of the greatest assets it possess
its remarkably curative mineral
waters.
HOW WILL FAILING STATE
BANK DEPOSITORS VOTE?
There are over fifty thousand bank
depositors in the failing state banks
alone that aught to vote for the candi-
date for governor that will so stabilize
the financial condition of the Btate a*
to get their money back. Who that
man is, whether John Fields or John
Walton, they ought to be able them-
selves to figure out.
As this campaign develops, the
voters will perceive two outstanding,
glaring faults, over and above every-
thing else, about the two candidates
for governor. They will find that
John Walton's fault is to promise
more than he can perform and John
Field's fault that he is reluctant in
promising even what he feels reason-
ably sure he can perform.
No man who falls heir to the pres-
ent administration, as Walton is
bound to do, will be in a position to
work out the state's finances in such
a way as to stabilize the state banks
and pay the depositors of failing
banks. He promises everybody about
everything in the economic decalogue,
and that is too much for any one man
to perform. No one man can reform
the universe. What is needed is a
man who will just stick to Oklahoma
and clean up the accumulated break-
downs, as a by-product of adminis-
tration of its affairs, and the right-
ing of the failed state banks (with
the quaranty fund over |G,000,000
short) so depositors can get their
money back, is one of the biggest
jobs.
"HOME TALENT Ml W T.U
The Coyle Clipper has the follow-
ing excellent suggestion on a "Home
Talent Chautauqua:
"A brand new idea is being tried ! 8
out in several localities this season ' f.
for the first time and the resultant 1 j
report is being eagerly watched for by I
localities that have experienced the | f
troubles and dissatisfaction with high j ■
pri<-ed chautauqua talent.
"The new idea is for a community t
to stage a regular chautauqua, using { i
only home talent entertainers. At ' I
first suggestion the idea won't get | I
very far under your hide, but if you '
will just keep thinking over the pot- j
sibilities with the available talent in
your homo community that can be
arrayed for such an event, the idea
gets into your entire system and you
become so enthusiastic that you are
eager to have the local folks give it
a trial.
"If you have doubts as to the Idea
being an excellent one, just make a
mental list of those in the community
who could be persuaded to furnish
numbers for the program. It will
surprise you to learn the large num-
ber of real good musicians vocal and
instrumental, speakers read* rs, and
reciters that would willingly lend
their services.
"The average chautauqua company
always expects a large guarantee with
a number of responsible citizens back
of the agreement, and usually those
back of the guarantee has to come
across with a tidy sum to cover the
deficiency.
"With the home talent chautauqua
the admission receipts could be di-
vided among the talent after expenses
were paid. Or if agreeable to the tal-
ent, the entire receipts could be turn-
to some local public Institution
such as library, playground, com-
munity building or any such Institu-
tion that is financiall ysupportod ty
local donations.
"Aside from the many itfher ar«u
ments favorable to a home talent
chautauqua Is the all important fact
that it would open an avenue oi train-
ing to local talent, the value of which
is Inestimable.
"Why not a home talent chatau-
qua in this town next season, or a
lyceum course the coming winter?"
This could be enlarged nad divesl-
fiod by a local organization of one
town giving its performance in an-
other town. The Clipper is right,
every town has excellent talent in
certain lines. It is from such rural
communities that lycium bureaus re-
cruit their talent. If a list of those
who have gone out into the profes-
sional world from Guthrie ulone were
made, it would surprise the citizens
of the community.

WHAT \ PERVERSE LAI'GH.
The biggest political humor ever
since the end of the legislative session
of 1921 has been the poking of fun
by the democratic politicians at the
republican lo\.« • house that it was
measly, stingy and niggardly and
didn't appropriate money enough—and
the people seemed to accept this crit-
icism, and echoed in ribald laughter
the democratic assaults of humor.
But when six thousand democrats
roared with approval Governor Rob-
ertson's castigation of these same
republican sinners for their great cul-
pability of being so infernally stingy
with the people's money, one wonder-
ed if this dry summer had not per-
verted men's moral and financial
sense that they could turn into a poli-
tical fault that which heretofore had
been considered a virtue—decent re-
gard an deconomy in the appropria-
tions of the state's funds.
What are the facts about the appro-
priations of the legislature of 1921.
The governor came before the joint
session of the appropriation commit-
tees of the two houses and said in
substance: Gentlemen of the joint
session of the appropriation commit-
tees of the House and Senate: I have
had application for appropriation for
the state's departments of govern-
ment and state's institutions some-
thing between thirty-four and thirty-
six million dollars. I have scheduled
this down to about $ 17.<r 00,000. I may
have been drastic in many instances
and I may have been mistaken in
others: but the budget law provides
that tine governor present the sup-
posedly needed appropriations and
places the responsibility upon you to
vote the appropriations.
The governor then added, as an
aside: It is my opinion, however,
that you cannot get away with it for
less than $24,000,000, or $26,000,000.
If one had wanted to be quizzical
and impertinent, he could have asked:
But Mr. Governor, why do you clear
the executive skirts of your admini-
stration by recommending an appro-
priation of $17,500,000, when you feel
the legislative branch cannot "get
By J. B. C.
in a town where they have plenty
of pure, sparkling water as is the
case with our town, there is no need
of the town being dry or any one
going thirsty. There is a smile in
every glass of it and it is warranted
not to go to your head or make you
go home and kick the cat.
There is not a tear or a drop of
sorrow in a barrel of it.
Do not be in rush to get rid of your
property in our town, it is a good
investment. It will never be worth
any less and there is every indica-
tion that it will become more valuable
as the town grows and developes as
it surely will. Remeber that our town
is the best town.
1C you are a resident of our town
you should be proud of it and not
afraid to say so. It may not be so
large and portentlons but there is
plenty of room to grow and we are
growing. It is not so much the num-
ber of people as it is the quality that
makes a good town and when it comes
to quality of its citizenship there is
not a town in the state that can begin
to compare with us. Watch us grow!
People generally are inclined to go
I some on looks; that is why they put
a twenty thousand dollar dome on 21
ten thousand dollar public building, it
may be 110 particular benefit to the
building but it adds to the appear-
ance. The same is true of towns,
everything that you can do to add to
the appearance of our town is that
much aid to the town.
Don't stt around and whine about
the town you came from being better
than our town, there is probably room
for you to go back and you will never
be missed. The man who lives in our
town and is not satisfied with it and
thinks that some other place is better
is not Justified in staying here. He
should get away and the sooner he
goes the better for our town. The
world is too big for any one to stay
in a place where they are dissatisfied.
Hit the road if you don't like it here.
If you live here stand up for our
town, talk for it. preach for it, swear
by it and if need be fight for it. If
you do not think it is the best town
in the country get out, give room for
some one who does. If there is every-
thing that don't suit you in our town
pitch in and help.
Others towns may have some ad-
vantages over us but when you sum
them all up you will find that ours
has a great many advantages over
other towns.—Tell you all about them
next time.

WILSON'S FOES 'BEATING

of Drift.
Washington, Aug. 20.—They are
coining back one by one, those demo-
cratic senators, who dared to disagree
with the world war policies of Wood-
row Wilson, and in so doing, brought
down upon their heads the wrath of
the former president.
A fortnight ago the democrats of
Missouri renominated Senator James
A. Reed over Breckenrldge Long, the
Wilson candidate, and in the face of
a demand by Wilson that Reed be de- !
feated. It is a scant two years since j
that this same James A. Reed was de-
nied a seat In the Wilson controlled |
democratic national convention at San I
Francisco.
This week James K. Vardaman, for-
mer senator from Mississippi, led the !
field of three candidates for the dem- j
ocratlc nomination which means ,
election, to succeed Senator John
Sharp Williams who is to voluntarily
retire next March. Wilson's .inter-
vention four years ago brought about
Vardaman's defeat by Senator Pat
Harrison. And as in Missouri, this
year, Wilson again demanded that
Vardaman be repudiated.
There will be another come-back
two years hence in the person of for-
mer Senator Thomas W. Hardwick of
Georgia. Like Vardaman, Hardwick,
driven out of the senate four years
ago when Wilson demanded of the
democrats of Georgia that they nomi-
nate and elect his candidate, Senator
William J. Harris, because Hardwick
had dared to assert his independence
of presidential dictation.
Hardwick began his come-back two
years ago when he was overwhelm-
ingly elected governor of Georgia over
Clifford Walker, the Wilson faction's
candidat.
Hardwick and Walker will go Into
a second gubernatorial primary Sep-
tember 13, with the odds that Hard-
wick will administer a far more sting-
ing deieat to his opponent than in
1920.
Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia, an-
other of those to incur the Wilson dis-
pleasure, did not come back two years

Monday some of our old soldiers
and their wives went to Crescent and
helped Comrade John Nicol Celebrate
his 94th birthday. It has been the an-
nual custom for several years for the
old coffee coolers to get together on
Mr. Nlchoi's birthday and swap army
yarns, and while their numbers are
growing thinner and thinner as the
years go by, the enthusiasm of the
survivors is just as keen as it ever
was.
Mr. Nicol has made his home for a
number of years at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. Geo. Michael, now liv-
ago. but in his stead came the bitter- | ing near Crescent, and it was here
est foe to Wilsonism of them all, Sen- ' that the anniversary was spent.
Those going from here were Comrad
ator Thomas E. Watson.
Dishman, and Rev. Henry Rider.
Present from Crescent were Grand-
ma Drew, Blanche and Mrs. DuBois,
Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Langston, Mrs.
Culp, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Ferguson
and Mr. and Mrs. Brown, Mrs. W. B.
Blakley, of Maryville, Missouri and
his grandaughter, Mrs. H. J. Speiser,
of Perry, were also present, the day
being Mrs. Speiser's birthday.
The Marshall folks haven't done
much else but talk about that good
dinner since their return. They say
it was a wonder.
