Independent citizens to swing
state into the republican oolumn in
the next election.
It behooves every republican In
Shawnee to take off his coat and go
in for the success of the republican
ticket that has been nominated. This
old town must be redeemed again
from the democrats, as It has been
once before, and If the republicans
do their duty it can be. As far as
the head of the ticket is concerned,
there is not now nor ever has been
the least doubt of Its going through
with a grand whoop, and the balance
of the ticket ought to follow close
in Steams' tracks, as It Is generally
believed It will. It cannot be suc-
cessful without work, however, and
any such idea must be kept In the
background, and the farther the bet-
ter. The entire republican ticket Is
composed of the best men in the city,
men whose record as boosters is well
known to every school child, and If a
single one Is defeated it will be the
republicans that help in the defeat
It is also well known that every man
on the ticket Is an honest man,
ating more perjurers than any law
over enacted. It goes beyond the 1
bounds of reason, In that it attempts j
to control a man's appetite by lefis-j
latlon, and makes crimes out of
things that are not crimes. Abraham 1

counties $500,000, and this same spe-
cial session appropriated 11,200.000.
Another session of the legislature is
due vilhin nine months, with pros-
pects of more large expenditures.
With appropriations already made ex-
ceeding 1350,000 for every month
Oklahoma has been a state, there is
every reason to believe that the peo-
ple will pause and take sober thought
before they decide to elect another
democratic administration.
The three sessions of the legisU-
lure which have been crowded Into
tre first twenty-eight months of Ok-
lahoma's existence liave squandered
the public funds with a lavish hand.
The new state is rich and haa a mag-
officlals, and they will not be built
as long as there Is a doubt In the
minds of the people as to where the
capital is going to be permanently lo-
cated. The chances for Shawnee win
ning out are just as good today as
any of the other aspirants, and she
is not the least afraid to go into
the battle with her claims. Let the
proposition come, and come now.
Furni-
ture..,.
Sure enough, the governor has is-
sued his call for an election on the
state capital removal question, the
date being fixed for the 11th of
June. He also submits the consti-
tutional proposition of section 9 on
the same date. Three towns are
named in the oapltal proposition —
Shawnee, Guthrie and Oklahoma City
—but other towns can enter the race
If they desire to contest for the capi-
tal. The chamber of commerce of
Guthrie Is expected to ask the courts
for an injunction, and If possible
stave off the question. Guthrie had
just as well take her medicine now
as any time, for the capital Is go-
ing to be moved, and that from Guth-
rie; this much is lure. The people
of the state are tired of taking cow
trails In order to reach the capital,
and are determined to locate it
where they can reach It without go-
ing any roundabout way to get there.
Then they want it located In a city
where they can secure accommoda-
tions over night at the same time.

To See
Several of the state employes have
resigned and are giving up the sink-
ing old ship of Haskelllsm, seeking
other jobs from outside sources. The
boys begin to see the danger signals
ahead of them.
Those democrats who are applying
to the people for vindication in the
way of being elected to a higher of-
fice than the one they have dis-
graced in the present one will likely
get It In the form of a defeat.
There are at thlB stage in the game
eighty candidates announced for the
various state offices, and 60 per cent,
of them are democrats. It takes
something more than high taxes to
discourage a democratic politician.
A meeting of so-called prohibition,
lsts over at Oklahoma City the other
day announced that the brewery In-
terests of St. Louts had subscribed
ti,000,000 to deieat prohibition In Ok-

ridiculous. Why should liquor men

"Events cast their shadows abroad/'
if the declinations of Democrats for
the mayoralty contest have any sig-
nificance, and being somewhat on the
superstitious order, we are of the
opinion they have.
We of Oklahoma ought to feel
thankful that the bunch of curiosi-
ties that formulated a constitution
for Oklahoma saw no necessity for
changing the Ten Commandments
and the original prophecies.

substantial reduction of taxes, to
which the people are certainly en-
titled.
Oklahoma has steadily advanced
during the last two years, not be-
cauBO of democratic rule, but in spite
of it; there can be no question that
the progress would have been much
more rapid without the serious handi-
cap of enormous expenditures and
numerous restrictive laws which have
menacted and diverted capital. All
sober men realize that Oklahoma,
rich as It is, will exhaust its vast
wealth if the pace which has been set
tor the last two years is continued.
Youth is the impersonation of vital-
ity, but there is danger that even
the vitality of youth may be depleted
and that a rich young state may be-
come impoverished unless a check is
called on lavish and reckless expen-
ditures. Is there any reason to sup-
pose that a continuation of the pres-
ent regime will furnish this check?
Obviously none. The hope of Okla-
homa lies In an Immediate change of
party control, and it Is believed that
there are enough Intelligent, patriotic,
frauds and of reckoning to come.
Through the day he faceth the wrath
of the inspector and examiner, and
of the attorney general. In the shade
of the afternoon, when he fain would

hibitionist and seeth the misty form

Of course, Muskogee county is
milked dry." Funds all gone, roads
and public buildings a joke, taxes ex-
orbitant, numerous petty courts
wrangling and eating up the people's
money; one fellow in the pen for
stealing $23,000, and no knowing how
many more ought to be. This Is
"democratic management." If you
like it, vote to have more of it
you don't like it—well, every honest
man will know how to vote—and he
will vote.—Muskogee Phoenix.

We are making a special
effort to connect all possible
Gas Customers on our linesthis
winter, and for that reason we
have reduced prices on piping
and appliances, hoping to
make back the difference from
an increased consumption of
gas, and if our plans are suc-
cessful, both the consumer and
the Gas Company will benefit
thereby.
it is poss bie that the Com-
pany will discontinue the sell-
ing of appliances after this
season, same as the gas com-
pany in Oklahoma City, and
if we should, it is reasonableto
suppose thai the present Low
Prices will not prevail again.
