AN EXPLODED HERESY.
Several of our good democratic frlonds have for the past yoar or
two been seriously endeavoring to agitato tho public and promote a com-
mission form of government, for the state.
Most of these "centrallied government" apostles took advantage of
tho hostile criticism of the legislature, which Is always manifest when
that body Is not in session, and they appeared for a time to be making
some headway among the body of the common people, and were them-
selves hopeful that their peculiar Idea of abolishing one house of the
legislature and the creation out of a select few of the other of a coterie
of superior morula, might be seriously considered by the voters and act-
ed upon by the incoming legislature.
The political heresy, like the foot and mouth disease, had broken
(Mrt sporadically in other slates. Coiornor Hodges of Kansas, Governor
Cox of Ohio, and many other shining light. had taken it up and entered
oerlou.ly into spreading the propaganda.
In this state such brilliant publicists as Senator Thomas of lawton.
Col. Roy Stafford of the Dally Oklahoman, Judge Gllkerson of Elk City,
and the redoubtable attorney general, Chas. West, had became Its spon-
sor. and the latter gentleman. In a flash of Napoleonic genius had In-
cluded the proposition among a number of other radical provisions which
he wanted added to, or Uken from tho constitution, and succeeded after
much travail and delay In getting the matter submitted to the people at
the late election.
And now for the result: Tho West amendments were lnglorlously
beaten by a failure to get a majority of the total vote cast.
Judge Ollkerson was Ignonlmously slaughtered In a democratic sen-
atorial district by hiB socialist opponent.
Col. Stafford's home county was carried by the republican candidate
for governor by a majority so large that the election board has had
difficulty In figuring up the returns, and Senator Thomas' bailiwick has
llkowlse gone republican.
Coventor Hodges has been wiped out by bis former defeated antagon-
ist by a plurality of nearly fifty thousand, and Governor Cox has dis-
appeared wilder a landslide In Ohio that carried about everything else
democratic in that section wltli him.
Other causes may have contributed to some of there defeats, but the
fact remains that practically every public man tainted with the heresy
has had a severe Jolt, and the knockouts arc too unanimous to be 'sot
down a. mere co-incidences.
There are good reasons for urging the reduction of the membership
of both houses in Oklahoma to a niombershlp. say of about thirty t.i
thlrty-slx eenator., and sixty to seventy members of the house, hut we
arc not ready for a revolutionary change In our f irm of government that
baB for Its flrsl purpose and effect the practical abandonment of represen-
tative government.
We were not prepared to take this heresy so seriously, or to gloat
over its fallen disciples so savagely as our two distinguished Jeffersonlan
t democratic confreres, Col. W. B. Hinds of the Husonlan. and Hon. J. 11.
Regnier of the Antlers News-llerord, but we do trust that now that the
"centralized government" cohorts ha e been so bitterly chastised by the
people, they will abandon tnelr heresy and plare their undoubted t.ilent«
onco more at the service of the masses wluve dearest hopes must con
tlnue to He in the hands of representatives In the legislature elected di
reclly by the voters and In the maintenance of that perfect balance he
twecn the executive, legislative and Judicial departments e-tihlUheJ b
the father, and vindicated by a century and a quarter of glcirlous history
lo the *Vato of the Union and in tliu government Itself.

INDUSTRY THE OPEN DOOR TO ISEFI'l. MANHOOD.
Almost without fall, and although clrcumstanccB play no lnconsld-
erablo part, It will be found that the successful man had a youth whose
season was that of industry and to whom little came without work ilia
tope In manhood was In greater strength to do things ami with no Mm
of idleness. He found that labor was the Beed from which comforts an •
freedom from want crow, and in ;• >nic w i\ and somehow, w ; >h hi cm: |
eot explain yet could readily understand, the little spirit of energy crept
into hi. head and study and work became a pleasure instead of a hard-
•fcip.
Bo he found manhood waiting for him, and the future a broad field
ttimt required cultivation lo yield up Its Btores of profit, and suecefies.
He also saw that manhooti was a solid reality and not a dream that In-
vite. and cheats—that flatters and stabs In the back. To be a man was a
great thing a great ambition a greater fact than to fit down and live
a. animals live. He could see the waste of life all about him. and the
ceaaeles. toll of energy to reco\er the wasto and make it of exceedlni
utility.
And so he van conscious of the energy always working within and
through Jilm. and It roused his spirit to a high degree ot manhood. He
was armored with honor and duty to meet the conflict that Indolence
scheme and trickery was waging agalnwt the thrift and pri
question of his rise to success was never in doubt because h.
lug It and therefore deserved It.
What splendid examples there are all around us for the
tho country to follow! It I. not the sham dignity that comes
gift of office only to wither away when the crumbling pedestal la tik-n
from under him, but the firm manhood of the Individual that towers
abovo and endures beyond the painted table of wood.
Manhood alone 1. regal In Its splendid proportions, grand In ch ,r
acter and admirable to look upon. II is honored with universal respe-t
and esteem. II Is confidence Itself that cannot be bankrupted.
It la a pleasure to select the study of a successful life and t - i >
that tho success and position are but tho outgrowth of a manhood more
valuable and more to he honored than the grentest fort unes w in t r >111'

When we changed to the commls

to get a better and more economical
government. That was the Idea. In

paved Main Street. I speak of this

had more need of police officers then
than now because It was an open
town and we had saloons.
