A POLITICAL GAME
OP CHANCE.
The Kiown reservation lies next
to Texan and it was supposed that
its settlement would be largely by
Texans., consequently Democrats.
TheJ^drawing plan changed that
perhaps.
Texas in the first thousand
names drawn furnished but eight
per cent of the winners; Indian
territory, also Democratic, furnish-
ed but nine per cent; in other
ords from the Democratic reser-
voirs there was drawn only seven-
teen percent. On the other hand
from Oklahoma and Kansas, both
Republican, there was drawn 111)
per cent in the first thousand and
of this Oklahoma had in tne neigh-
borhood of 48per cent.
Ther.' remains no longer any
doubt that Kansas' contribution on
top of Oklahoma's makes for a
rtainty, assured and reliable lie-
publican majority in each of the
three new counties.
As those three new counties go,
so will Oklahoma go.
Wichita Eagle.
The Eagle editor is on the inside
of Republican management. He
speaks by authority of one who
knows what he says. The langu-
age of the editorial quoted reveals
the purpose in view, when the ad-
ministration broke down all moral
barriers ard started the wheel of
fortune at El Reno. It was
thought that settlement by a race
ould make the counties Demo-
cratic. Tin; lottery was adopted
to make them Republican.
The political schemers care noth-
ing for the demoralization of .the,
gambling devise. They were not
concerned about the real farmers,
who were camping on the borders
with their tools ready to develop
the wilderness. They did not
hestitate to adopt a plan that gave
the land to speculators around the
towns. Their object was to
make three counties Republican.
We will not assert that the draw-
ing was unfivirly conducted. Tha
world knows that wlrm a gang of
politicians start out to gain a poli-
tical advantage that they always
act fair and honest. We
have often heard politicians declare
that everything is fair in politics
and war. That includes lotteries.
The President's message pro
vided one effectual safe guard
against fraud. The name of eac i
applicant was to be sealed up in
an envelope; that envelope was to
have no designating marks, no one
could know the name it contained
until it was drawn out of the great
box and opened. That part of the
message was disregarded and the
loor thrown wide open for fraud.
The slips upon which the names
were written were thumbed over
and tabulated. In this process
they could have been classified by
states according to the idea of the
Eagle. We do not arsert that this
was done, but the gang certainly
provided themselves with an op-
portunity to do so, when they de-
parted from t he instructions of
the message.
We presume that those present
saw that all the envelopes were
placed in the boxes when the
drawing commenced. But
observed that only 500 names were
drawn from each district the first
eay.
We do not assert that, any of the
names from Texas, Indian Terri-
tory or Missouri wore removed the
following night and returned the
night after all winners were drawn.
But it would nave looked better if
the names of all winners had been
drawn the first day, while the pub-
eye was upon those boxes.
Surely thirteen thousand names
could have been drawn out the first
day, since thirty-nine thousand
lottery was a political game of
chance, manipulated by the party
in power to perpetuate its power.
Tne gamblers lived in clover up
to their eyes at El Reno for twenty
days. At least the town was wide
open and every game known to the
fraternity was worked for all it was
worth. For this we do not criti-
cise El Reno. It would have ap-
peared disloyal for El jjeno to at-
tempt to enforce the laws of the
territory against gambling while
Uncle Sam was turning a wheel of
fortune, within the gates of the
city. Great is McHanna.
The Wichita Eagle is satisfied
tlmf the three new counties will be
Republican.
The 167,006 people who regis-
tered at El Reno doubtless paid
out an average of $20 each for car
fare and hotel bills; this makes the
enormous sum of $3,340,120. This
is more than all the contests cost
since passage of the homestead
law.
The wheel of fortune at El Reno
seemed to favor the speculators
around towns, while a very large
number of the country boys got
left, and the old farmers who
moved all their belongings down
to the border months ago are in the
snip, but then the Wichita Eagle
thinks the three counties will be
sure enough Republican.
The young Texas farmers who
got left, at El Reno should go in
and marry the town girls from the
north who drew claims. They
might not be very well contented
living in the country, but after
fourteen months the claim could
j. b ' proved up and they could move
to town again. The boys could
batch on the farm during the week
and go home to see their girls
every Sunday. That would be
romantic for married ueoule but 11® rounding up tliflr entile in ilio new

Ideni Diaz is In sympathy with thejlt, iius city, futbc r and son, there was some
movement In Ibis direction. Under the
present land 11 ws no tax can be collected
for unoccupied and uuused lands. Ovvlntr
to this fact many thonsaiid acres of fertile
lands In Mexico ar- Ivlng Idle and the own-
ers are not anxious to do anything wit ti
them, for the r'-ason that they c«vst no'hlng
to maintain.
Sebastaln said in regard to thl* tii.it
he had reason to believe that Prewlde 1
Diaz was he.rtlly In fuv.irof placing a tax
upon unused lands, and If this Is done li
will have the effect of placing many thou-
sand .cres t.f fertile .Mexican lunds on the
market at on-e. When such t time arrives
tnere are ye . ral capitalists who stand

farming, to the rubber tree Industry, and
to .1 d< z 11 other li dustrles. The piople
who own these lands have not the enter-
prise nor money t develop them, and 1 «ee
no reason why Ihey should not be colonized

The government of Mexico Is hearillv in

It wi'l greatly aid t-ho undertaking."

NOW IN POOR CIRCUMSTANCE
El Itenr, Ok., Aug. 3.—Ths ' ity is
quiet although uiany strangors are
still here. Dissapointmerit has had a
quieting effect and those left hero
are undecided what to do. Trains
going North and East are erowded
with disheartened people. Many of
those liomesoeker who have campcd

and It h feared that suffering will be
great
Many merchants and professional

Many are homeward bounb, but hun

that the will go through Anthony
and terminate at Wichita.
Some of those wlio wero not 1
favor of the pow railroad coming to
Enid, talk a if thoy wero ignorant of
the Idea that the Cbocnaw would
have taken much of the far westean
trade of Enid, e?eu If the Hts roan

chickens Hatched out.
A Perry lady, who has a weakness
for chickens, recently set a number
of hens ori common store eggs. A
bout the time the period of lncuba-
lon should have expired tha hens,
no doubt becoming disgusted with
the results of their labors and hot
weather combined, deserted their
nest.
The eggs were cast aside In a garb-
age pile to be carted away,
They lav there about a week, when
one morning, the lady in passing the
place where thoy lay In the sun, ob-
served something unusual. There
were about :0 little chicks hatched
out by the phenomenal weather,
She carried them to the house, and
the* are now about two weeks old,
thrifty and great pets. They ate
readily and from the t'ir>t and appear
to do as well as if batched out lu a
nest.
Perhaps the most peculiar part of
this story Is the circumstance that
the Incubation period of these chick-
ens required a week more than is us-
ually the case. Of course it is Impos
sible that the owner could havo been
mistaken in her calculation of time.
The youngest homeseeker to draw
a claim in the Lawton district was
little Ruth Donovan, of Enid.
Judge Donovan was a soldier. He
died a few months ago leaving a little
orphan daughter, now only 1 year old.
A guardian was appointed for the
