Shawnee ha* never fought for I
worthier cause than the removal of
♦he eounty s at from ita present lo-
cation. where it was put by the fed-
eral govf-rnmem. and from wher.
•b* people of th*- count) voted over-
whelmingly four years ago to re-
move it, to Shawnee, where civiliz-
ed conditions will surround it, where
beavjr taxpayers will surround the
county officers and roake it their
i>usine*a to see that expenses are
kept down and taxes consequently
reduced, and where fine quartern,
with fire-proof vaults, will be pro-
vided a* a saving to the county from
vhat it now costs to maintain a
make-shift courthouse at Tecumseh.
It is a fiebt of the taxpayers againet
a ring that has attempted to exer-
cise ownership over the county sea',
for twenty years It is a fight against
those mho, careless of the progrewr
of retrogression of the county, sa>
"let well enough alone,' because
"well enough" happens to swell their
t Uik accounts
Hundreds of the substantial farm-
ers and business mr-n of the county
who did not sec the point In tb"
former contest, but mere swayed by
sympathy to support Tecumseh, hav
bf#n taught theff j&)stake by thetr
tax receipts, and voluntarily ha
offered their services to Shawnee
They know, that w ith the county scat
at Shawnee, their taxes will be ma-
terially lt«sened. and at the same
time while attending to business at
the county seat they will be able to
njoy the ordinary comforts and
conveniences

Shawnee's Interests Are Not the Interests of the Interur-
ban But the Interests of the Taxpayers.
The Tecumseh County Democrat gave one-fourth its first page in its last
issue to the defense of this corporation.
Why should the Tecumseh Commit«e be so vigorously fighting the cause of
the Traction corporation at this time?
Experience has shown that a "5380,000.00" corporation is usually able to
look out for its own interests!
The stock of the interurban is owned by eastern capitalists who care not
for the interests of the taxpayers of Pottawatomie County, but are anxious only
to secure the largest dividends possible on the capital invested.
The Tecumseh Committee well knows that a railway company cannot,
under the laws of Oklahoma, tear up its tracks at will and they know that the
threat to do so is a mere bioff.
It is well known that the interurban corporation is,using all its powerful
influence to retain the county seat at Tecumseh. If you doubt this statement
you can consult the officers of the corporation or the company's local physician
in Shawnee
The reason why Tecumseh is so ardently championing the cause of the
interurban at the time of this election must be evident. It is a matter of com-
mon report that the Interurban Corporation contributed thousands of dollars in
the interests of Tecumseh in the county seat election in 1909. How much they
are contributing in this campaign we are unable to say.
Interurban Railway Corporation Real Issue
TECUMSEH'S DISCOVERY.
We told you some time ago that the County Democrat would make some
gisrantic discoverv this week, and they have. And came pretty near telling the
truth when they "disclose the fact that the fight has now shifted from Tecumseh
to the Interurban Eailway Corporation.
According to the Countv Democrat, Tecumseh's official organ, the real
issue is not whether the people are to still support Tecumseh, but whether or
not the taxpayers are going to support this Interurban Corporation.
The eastern bond holders of this corporation with $380,000.00 worth of
bonds naturally want you taxpayers to pay them a large per cent on the invest-
ment Tecumseh savs this is au right so long as this corporation indirectly ben-
efits her. But how about yourselves who are paying the bills by this indirect tax-
ation?
Do not be alarmed about the Interurban tearing up its tracks with $380,000
invested.
What did the Rock Island do when it found that its stub line to Tecumseh
did not pay? Did the logical thing of course, extended its line to Asher, making
possible this prosperous town and adding thousands of dollars to the County's
taxable wealth.
The Interurban will do the same thing, extend its line to Sulphur over the
survey already made, thereby incrsasing Pottawatomie County's taxable wealth,
and removing the burden of the taxpayers iu keeping up a corporation by extra
mileage of officers, prisoners, and those attending County business.
The people in the South part, of the County know that their only hope in
securing an interurban to Sulphur is to lo. ate the County Seat at Shawnee.
The people in the North part c t.u t mnty know that their only method of
stopping this tnormous drain on ti. County Treasury and on themselves for extra
mileage is bv 'ocatinc the Coui.ty Seat at Shawnee.
Shawnee did her part in bringing the Interurban railway. Through her sup-
port of Benson Park and the small truck farms along the line she is helping keep
it up But Shawnee prote-ts with thfe other citizens of Pott. County again. t
longer helping pav this indirect taxation growing out of mileage for witnesses,
jurors officers, and prisoners, in order to pay heavy dividends on Interurban
stock.
PKOVIOK.
i form of white salvery, in a
class with the peonage system of
the South, exists among various
classes of immigrants, especially
among the Greek bootblacks of the
larger cities, notably New York.
Among the owners of the shoe-
sbiniug "parlor*." a well orgainzed
padrone system is under full oper-
ation. it is said, and under it the
life of the bootblack is pitiable in
the extreme.
"The Presbyterian Kianainer,"
which has undertaken a crusade to
expose teh practice, has printed
some interesting facts that may be
substantiated from the priated re-
ports of the Bureau cf Industries
and Immigration.
In New York City alone there are
1500 boys employed in the 250 or
more shoe shining establishments —

POVERTY.
Poverty, with its enforced care-
ful choice among pleasures, is a
line sharpener of the taste. There
is no such connoisseur as your poor
connoisseur. Poverty keeps the e>f
eagerly clean for qualit> . for while
quality in quantity is beyond its
reach, it may still hop" to possess
itself of an occasional example of
"quality"—one really fine thing. Ir*
that you have the es$cnUaJ excel-
lence and wonder. Long galleries
of collections do not go deeper than
that. One good friend, oen good
hook, one groat ideal, one definite
purpoae. one glorious laith,—bow
rich is he w ho possi sse them —
