That Oklahoma is Democratic,
is beyond all dispute.

No newspaper has a license to
howl at anything and everything
that public servants do or con-
template doing. This kind of
newspaper work has been carried
to as excess in Guthrie during the
past few months.
Oklahoma City seems to be
banking heavily on the advan-
tages they will receive through
the electric line that is to connect
that town with this city. Guth-
rie people are also figuring on
similar advantages.
The recent statements ot the
condition of the different banks
in Guthrie, present a most pleas-
ing state of affairs. The printed
condition of our banks show a
healthy financial growth in the
financial world in this city.
The new railroads are arriving.
It is now the duty of Guthrie to
go after other industries. Rail-
roads are needed, but they alone
are not sufficient to build up a
great city. e must have some-
thing that will bring labor.
The seven hills upon which
Guthrie is located, made her se-
cure from the ravages of high
water. While less favored com-
munities suffered great loss in life
and property, this city passed
through wi'h but little damage.
The Sapulpa Democrat issued
a fine trade edition last week. It
was a sixteen pace paper, filled
with rich reading matter and
profusedly illustrated with cuts
of prominent men and fine build-
ings. The Democrat is doing a
great work for Sapulpa.
known fact that such an alliance
is an impossibility at this time.
The only just way to link both
territorities together in one state,
would be to admit Oklahoma im-
mediately and attach Indian
Territory when she reaches a
condition that would warrant
statehood.
Public inprovements in Guthrie
continue. Howlers may howl
but the good work will go on for-
ever.

Since Harry Gilstrap became
a postmaster, his paper has
changed front on the statehood
question. Official grease is liable
to change the mind of any person.
Harry is rot to blame, for it's
dollars to doughnuts in this case,
and the former won out.
The most offensive exhibition
of lese majcste reported in many
a day was the action of the Ber'.in
woman who threw a bouquet at
the emperor, striking him square-
ly on the helmet. It was natur-
ally supposed that she was throw-
ing at someone else until she con-
fessed with tears that she had in-
deed designed the flowers for his
majesty. While the officials
were examining the criminal code
to discover the punishment to be
meted out to anyone who dares
assault the emperor with a rose
or a tulip and were wavering be-
tween melted lead and burning
oil, the emperor with his accust-
omed magnanimity ordered
them to release her from arrest
and to dismiss her "with a severe
reprimand.'' The nerves of the
German Empire have been great-
ly shattered by this unfortunate
incident, but William preserves
his calmness. "I am ready to go
when the Lord calls," he says
intrepidly.
The city council is to be com-
mended for demanding conclusive
proof of the efficiency of our
sewer s}-stem before allowing
warrants paid. This is right and
just, and the contractors, if they
are honest, will register no kick
against such a procedure. The
taxpayers of Guthrie are paying
out their good money for these
sewers and they certainly have a
right to know the condition of
this improvement before cough-
ing up the dough. If the con-
tractors wish to be fair, they will
insist upon a thorough investiga-
tion before accepting their
money.

THE
TRAVELER'S FAVORITE
Anti-Flynn papers continue to |
feel much distressed over the as-
pirations of Mr. F ynn. They
howl against him but fail to pro-
duce any evidence why he should
not be honored when Oklahoma
gains statehcod. Flynn has done
more in the past, and is able to
do more in the future for this
territory, than any other man in
public life in Oklahoma. Be it
said, however, to the honor of j
this territory, that the opposition
to Mr. Flynn is confined to but a
few sore-heads, who failed to be
recognized when he was in power.
