Oklahoma's crop prospect is 18-k
and no culls.
Oklahoma should not allow
herself to go backward in the
matter of choosing a successor to
Delegate Flynn. The Democrats
have said that they were willing
to take their chances with Will-
iam Cross. They said by their
vote at the Enid convention that
Hill Cross was the ablest Woman
of them all. They said in their
convention that their nominee
was able to take up the work be-
lly made by taking a few cent's
worth of stock in these concerns.
No less than fifteen propositions
have reached the World editor
within the past ten days, yet we
have refused to forward a 10-cent
check in payment for stock—an
investment that guaranteed to
make us a second Kockefeller in
a verv few months. We arc
afraid to risk this sum, as the
meat trust has a claim on every

The Democrats have set the pace,
and if the Republican party is
wise it will profit thereby. While
it is difficult, at this time, to de-

by the Republicans, it to be liop-

Attorney General
thinks it is unfair to say that he is
the chosen candidate of Delegate
Flynn and William Grimes for
congress. If the report be true,
it is hard to see why he should
kick. The supp >rt of such tncu
as Flynn and Gr mes is not to be
laughed at. Their influence in
this territory is great, and it
should be an honor to have the
support of such nen for any po-
sition.
There seems to be a growing
interest in behalf of the Chil-
dren's Home Society in Oklaho-
ma. The work is being pushed
with vigor by S iperintendent
Wickham, and much good has
been and is now being accom-
plished in this ] art of the Chris-
tian work. It is a laudable under-
taking—one that appeals to the
heart of every person. "Suffer
thc little children to come unto
Me" is one of God's greatest com-
mands. May the work advance
more rapidly in the future than
at any time in the past should be
the desire of every resident of
Oklahoma.
