PLAIN DUTY.
It is the duty of the Fusion
•aunty senmittes to make a de-
mand on Porter to first make a
full settlement with his deputies,
and then pay into the county
treasury all that lie may have
colleoted, in excess of what he
actually pays them, and his legal
salary of twenty eight hundred
dollars per annum, as the law re-
quires. In case he refuses•to do
this promptly, his name should be
strieken from the ticket and the
name of Sam Campbell substitut-
#d.
Now gentleman you owe this
aotion to the taxpayers of Garfield
county. You owe it to the parties
you represent. You owe it to
yourselves. There can be no
question of the legality of this
action since it is clearly develeped
that Sana Campbell is really the
lawfull nominee of the convention
haying received a majority vote of
the delegates actually eleeted at
the party primaries.
STRUGGLING FARMER.
Spoonberg Isey now signs his
heavy editorials "A. Struggling
Farmer". That is a very appropri
ate non-deplnme, it must be an
awlul struggle for a farmer with
democratic leanings, to support
Bill Cross who is not only opposed
to the farmers interest but is in
•stive oppoiition te tha ustion of
the co gressie al eauous of the
demeoratio party on the question

KIND OFFICES.
It would be u humane aot for
for some mutual friend to inforim
Spoonberg Isey, that the Echo
editor is neither a oandidato for
congress or for Sheriff. He don t
like our size or shape and the heavy
editorials he is hurling at us, is
liable to run the wheels in his
head at euch a high rate of speed
as to ignite the alcohol, on his
brain, audoause an explosion, t'uat
will blow liis head off.
The subject of this sketch Miss
Nannie Lou Bates was born iu
Kentucky but raised in Kansas,
her paronts moving to Wichita and
afterwards to Caldwell when she
was but a ohild whero they lived
untill the opening of the Cherokeo
Strip when her widowed mother
and sister made the ruu. They
settled on two claims in North
linid Township where they have
sinoe resided, excepting the time
when the duties of her office as
superintendent of schools required
her presence at the county seat.
Her father was a soldier in the
Civil War, a member of the First
Indiana Cavalry, Oo.F; enlisting
at the beginning, He served
with the Union forces until the
olose of the war. Beside b, throe of
her uncles served with the Federal
feroes during t'lie same war.
Miss Bates comes from a patriotic
family — her ancestors or relatives
havo been ia every American war
from the Re volution down.
Miss Bat es graduated in the
Caldwell H igh school as valedict-
orian of t ho class of 1890, having
made tho liighest grade during the
entire Hig h school course.
Afterwards she attended the
Territorial Normal where she
graduated, receiving a lifo certifi-
cat. She also took the special
coarse of kindergarten and prim-
ary metho ds receiving a certificate
forthesanie. Slie has taken post
graduate work at the Kansas State
Normal besides holds a Normal
instructor 's certificate and likewise
a Kansas State Certificate.
Quoting from u letter written
by Miss Montgomery a member of
the laculty of the state norma'
"Miss Bates is one of the strong
est women w e havo had in the
Kansas state normal, in scholar-
ship and in teaching power.
Her teacher a and the heads of de-
partments of tho school were
strong in tb eir expressions of ap-
preciation and commendation of
her work u ith us, and she made on
the entire touching force, u of the
nstitutiou n deep impression of
her worth as n woman as raroly
forceful chajaeter and of fine in-
tellectual endowments. No one
ever graduated from the depart-
ment in my charge kindergarten
and primary work with higher
oredit or more eminent success.
I look on Miss Bates as one of
the most promising teachers of
the Wast, one who by reason
of force of character and superior
education as well as by special
training in her chosen line cf
work is sure to win for the school
with which she connects herself
a repatation second to none in
training and praotico work
teaching."
Since leaving school Miss Bates
has been, engaged in her educa-
tional work. Her experience has
been varied from tho district
sohool to tho city school one
of wkioli was that front which she
graduated then instructing the
institutes aud having i'uII charge
of the traiding department,besides
serving on county examining
boards and deputy snperintendent
before being elected county super
intendent.'lVo years ago she re-
ceived the nomination by ucclama
tlon from tho democratic and peo-
i pie's parties.
Without disparagement to any of
her predecessors. Miss .Bstes ha

WASH BILL.
The Enid Steam Laundry has
been allowed bills for \aundry
work at the jail as fellows;
April 1st $19.20
J one 23rd ■• • • ■ $20.10
Sept.2(Sth $23.25
fotal $,;2.85
Thoss bills are doubtless
reasonable and jojtly due the
Steam Laundry but we don't think
that sheriff Porter should have in-
cured such exper.se. The oounty
has a furnace at 4he jail and it was
formerly tho onstoni to make
prisoners do iheir own washing
and it was g'jod healthy exercise
for them
SIDNEY CLARK.
Sidney Clark one of tho vetrun
democrats of Oklahoma. Deii> r-
ed the ablest speech on Statehood
last week at Kingfisher that this
oanipaign hus brought out. We
extract the following.
For more than ten year. 1 have beta
au advocate of Statohood for Okla-
homa. Sinco 1891 i have been
solected by four successive state-
hood conventions, for chairman u£
tho non-partisan statehood com-
mittee, representing all shades oi
political opinion. On four differ-
ent oceusions, on behalf of that
committee, 1 havo presented before
the committees of congress, our
claim for admission as a stute.
When we were struggling at i
Washington to secure the opening J situated,
of Oklahoma for settlement, 1
urged the propriety of including
tho five Tribes within the limits
of the territory. In 1892 1 argued
for this policy before the house
committee. In 1891, the argument
was resumed before the senate
oommittee, but of no avail. From
first to lust no man of any oom-
mitteo of tho hcuso or senate,
would vote in favor of the propsi-
tion. At all times the answer was
that the United States had enter-
ed into treutios with tho fire
Tribes that oould not with honor
be violated, that the w hole body of
tho land was held in oommeu by
the Indians, that untili new
arr'aingementb are made, aud Uio
land allotted and subject to taxa-
tion no change shotsld be made,
and that a temporary territorial
government must precede any
application for statehood.
This answer not only expressed
the views of the members of the
committee but of nino tenths of
the members of both brunches of
congress from that time to this.
It is certain therefore as the day
proce des ths night, that if state
kood is to be secured ut all, it must
be in manner provided in the
pending Omnibus bill.
This Omnibus bill ia ts bill
arranged by tho house committee
on the territories composed of ten
Republicans and seven Demooruts
among which are fonnd some of j
the ablest statesmen in public lift
I undertake to say this much
abused bill corresponds exactly
with all the enabling acts that
have been passed by congress.
Mr.Cross and those who speak
for his election claiming to repre-
sent the Democratic party of Okla-
homa, ask the Demoorats to vote
for the defeat of tho bill pending
in the senate when the battle is
half won in congiess, and when
every Democratic senator, and
member of the House favors the
passage of the measure. There is
uo doubt about tho position of
Mr.Cross upon this question
It is in diroct antagonism to the
policy of his party in the body of
which he seeks to becomo a mem-
ber. Tho Democratic party of
tlie'nation as represented in con-
gress, is greater and wiser than
the authors of the Enid Demo-
cratic! platform. When a caucus
of the Democrats of tho houso
unanimously decided to vote for
Oklahoma statehood as provided
in the Omnibus bill and so voted
in the house is it the part of wis-
dom for Democrats in Oklahoma
to repudiate tho position of their
party in congress? Ought local
partisanship destroy our chances

the defeat of the Omnibus bill in
the senate. Mr.MoGuire stands
for its passage Tho vote will be
a referendum and will be so inter-
preted by the sneate.If Mr.Cross
elected it will be an expression
on the part of the voters of the
of the territory that the bill should
bo defeated. If Mr.McGuiro is
elected it will bo an endorsement
of the bill and it will bo promptly
passed. On this issue and on thi-
alono I shall vote for McGuite.
