committee and the members expect to
'hold u big democrat vote on Muy it.
WHY HE SHOULD RESIGN.
In requesting the candidates on the
republican ticket to either force the
resignation of W. T. Walker us chair-
man of tho city central committee,
or organize a special campaign com-
mittee of their own, The News 1b only
voicing the judgment of republicans
in general.
Every one realizes the skin game
method used by Walker in working
himself into the position in opposi-
tion to popular will and in direct vio-
lation 01 the will of the republican
candidates.
The candidates ure not politicians
and know but little about tlie disor-
ganizing and discouraging results from
a crooked leader who has a general
reputation as an old worn out trick
plug.
To show what his method of fooling
the candidates wus, he knew they had
selected Mr. C. H. Russell to lead the
light. Ho went to each of the 3H pre-
cincts and selected a henchman to act
us committeeman. He secured the ap-
proval of Chairman Mltcher and Sec-
retary Kibble to their appointment.
He then had them select hiineslf as
their chairman.
To placate the candidates who had
selected Mr. Russell, Walker then went
to them, showed them what power he
possessed with the committee, and rep-
resented to them that he also had the
personal endorsement of the Hon. Den-
nis T. Flynn.
At this the candidates gave in and
let Walker retain the comitteeman-
sliip.
Walker then went to Mr. Flynn and
told him that, as owner of the Times,
Klyoh must either endorse Dodson for
the postotiice, or he. Walker, would
beat the republican ticket.
lleing refused he then said they
would not recognize the Times; that it
was not a republican paper.
Ho then sent, word to tho officers
of the Whig club that the club ought
to cease its activity in the interest of
the committee.
Yesterday, The Capitol Hill News re-
ceived notice from the Walker office
that, The News was not recognized by
the committee as a republican paper
and - ould receive no encouragement.
With such a record as this follow-
ing an old ante.diluvian skin game into
a position—even a stolen position-
how do those candidates ever expect
to pull through?
Ill speaking with a very prominent
republican yesterday about Walker, he
said:
“1 have known Walker as a political
tlxer for over lit) years. He is crooked
and never has a thing in mind except
a Job, either for himself or his son-
in-law, George."
“Since the re-districting of the city
making 3P voting precincts. It was
necessary to have one committeeman
rroni each precinct. Walker and his
henchmen selected these committee-
men, some of them may be good men,
but If anything in th interest of the
republican party was ever done by-
Walker and his for the good of the
party, 30 years of manipulations on his
part have failed to show it.
"The ticket nominated is composed
of honorable men. They were en-
titled to have at the hands of the
City Committee that same kind of man
to manage their campaign. Walkers
business for yeurs has been politics.
The election of the republican ticket
is a secondary consideration to him;
he has been honored by the United
States government in the past; he was
disgracefully removed ns agent of the
Anadarko Indian Agency by a republl
can president for dishonesty and crook
edness in his official dealings. He was
a distrurber in the republican party-
in Kansas before he came to Okla-
homa. If Walker ever was connected
with an honest transaction in politics,
it is questionable If he was aware him-
self of that fact. Endorsements for
blB son-in-law for poBtofflce are of far
more importance for Dodson than the
election of Warren and the republican
ticket.
"He left Logan county and came to
Oklahoma county after having been a
candidate for the legislature where he
was ignominiously defeated by the re-
publicans and a negro nominated over
him. It Is said the negro was not an
especially bright fellow either. The
republicans of that legislative district
in Logan county evidently believed
that they knew Walker and preferred
a negro to represent them in the leg-
islature to Walker.”
"I regret the action of the City Com-
mittee. 1 think Borne of them were
honestly mistaken; I do not believe
that honest Republicans, much less
Democrats, will be inclined to vote
a ticket whose management is man-
ipulated by such a man as the chair-
man selected."
“It is to be regretted that Repub-
licans, after having elected a good
ticket, are now on the eve of ruining
it and sturing defeat in the face be-
cause of the selection of this chait-
man."
“He will not resign; his selection
as chairman is of more importance
to him than the election of all the
Republican ticket."

IF SHE BE GUILTY. WHY
NO T HE?
BY MAY KELLY MEAD
I was once a mother’s joy,
1 was once a mother’s pride;
While so happy, then, I was,
Toddling gaily by her side.
Our humble home was happy,
There our friends were of the best
I with the best would mingle.
And was happy like the rest.
I was wooed by men of fame,
By lawyers, and judges too.
But my friends among them now
1 must say, are sadly few.
For tis the same old story.
There is now no joy for me;
Mv nearest, dearest comrade.
Does not wish my face to set.
But Oh! has it come to this!
It is true 1 loved him well;
No artist could ever paint
The great height from which I fell
While he is an honored guest;
T hey will crowd to grasp his hand
And the girl he soon will wed.
Is the fairest in the land.
Oh, speak to me, waters, speak !
Let me on vcur bosom rest;
Let me bathe mv weary head,
Down deep in the ocean’s breast!
But no! for the Saviour said,
'‘Cast thy weary burden down,
Go thy way and sin no more;
There is yet for thee a crown!”

The Womans Relief Corps are

work this year. While we are happy

“WE DO” CHANGE
I o day as one looks at the hand
some sky scrapers all decorated with
flags and bunting, at the paved streets
and networks of street railway and
telephone lines, the chains and fanev
devices of thousands of electric lights
beside all the other metropolitan ad-
vantages of Oklahoma City; it is hard
to realize that only 22 years ago to-
day there was nothing but bare prairie,
over which a determined throng of
people were rushing pell mell, in a
desperate attempt to get a spot of
ground they could call their own.*
into a new life: one of hope —of high
resolution—one of useful activities
and one of love and benificent deeds.
And as the years go by have a fore
taste of the joy and bliss that awaits
us all in the land of the Blessed.
True science is driving out the
darkness and gloom of materialism
that, in the past, has shrouded the soul,
and we are hearing the music of a great
and joyous hope; rejoicing in the com-
fort of a living Faith.
The light of the future falls ever-
more on our path as we go on our way
in peace.

NEW USE FOR THE OLD SHAWL
ummer Wraps and Mafinees Are Be
ing Made From Delicate Finery
Worn Long Ago.
Any girl whose mother or grand
mother has a silk shawl, no matter
what the size, should endeavor to have
it given to her. Just now the love-
liest summer wraps and matinees are
being made from them, and the fact
that the delicate material need not be
cut is apt to make the owner more
willing to transfer It to the younger
member of the family.
As the shawl is large or small, it is
manipulated pointed or square. The
best effects will be gained in the lat-
ter. if the wrap is of the small variety.
It is taken for granted that the shawls
have fringed edges, but should this
not be the case a silk fringe as wide
as one can afford should be carefully
sewed around, if it is Impossible to
match the color, white may be sub-
stituted, although a black fringe on a
white shawl is especially effective.
If the square Is a small one the top
is turned over wide enough to form a
deep border, twelve inches at least
With this still back, the shawl Is fold-
ed squarely in two, up and down. Then
twenty inches from the middle the
top border is tacked together. This
may be done with a pin to try the
best proportion. The wrap is then
put on, the pin or tack coming at the
middle of the back of the neck.
It Is then necessary to have another
tack put at the bottom of the V
formed at the back, and the wrap is
complete. It requires no lining of
course. Ribbons or a fancy clasp may-
be put on. to hold it together over the
bust.
Variety is given by making the tack
a little to one side of the middle. The
fastening then laps over in front when
the wrap is worn.
When the shawl is wide, it should
be folded first three corners, regula-
tion shawl fashion, except that the top
is not turned over quite so far. Tack-
ing is the same as with the other
shape.
Rompers.
Just a few words in favor of romp-
ers for the little girl's summer ward-
robe. It is well to plan children s
outfits with an eye (o saving laundry
bills. Rompers are easily made or
cheaply purchased, afford wonderful
protection during play hours. The
little linen bloomers to match the
dresses do away wit t the petticoats—
another laundry saving. One mother
who is considered a good manager an-
nounced that all "nighties" and pa-
jamas in her family would be made
this year of cotton crepe, so nurse can
wash them out In a bowl. As they
need no ironing, another Item Is
knocked off the lau dry bill.
Little Taffe a Co;#s.
They’re for summer.
Either colored or hlaek.
About to the wabt line
They have big revers and a frill.
This Is a small 4 inch ruffie at the
bottom.
An Inch belt of braided silk or sou-
taclt finishes the top of the frill. They
„re trimmed in heavy lace, big bullet
Pattons or velvet ribbon.
Every young girl will want oue to
wear over muslin frocks.
COAT FOR SMALL BOY.
This useful little coat might bff
made in serge or cloth; it is a double-
breasted reefer, and Is worn with sail-
or collar of drill or the same mate-
rial if preferred
Man-o’-War hat of same material is
worn
Material required: 1 yard 46 inches
wide.
WIDE CHOICE IN HANDBAGS
All Designs and Materials Have the
Sanction of Fashion This
Season.
The handbag Is now the Inseparable
companion of woman. A beauty Is
made of sealskin with a gold top, the
owner's initials in gold adorning the
side that is generally presented to the
gaze of the public. Oxidized silver Ib
sometimes seen, but gold is more
favored. No longer is a handle of
modest length allowed. Ivong cords
of leather or silk are supplied, occa-
sionally several are plaited together,
and finished where they join the bag
with tassels.
The black suede and the velvet bag
also have their devotees, while leath
er worked In the* Venetian manner la
much in evidence.
In Paris, and on tho continent gen
erallv, great liking is evidenced for
the bag of fairly modest proportions
with k»ng cords that are 'i » g obb
the shoulder—in the sum v « 0j©
carries field glasses—pe-because
• his method displays its beauty to the
greatest advantage.
Pseudo Silk Hose.
The woman who loves silk stock-
ings, but who cannot afford them, will
find those of mercerized sea island
cotton a very good substitute, as they
have tlx> look of the real silk. Their
luster is excellent, their weave fine and
even, and they, of course, wear out
any number of silk stockings. They
are made with all the latest improve-
I meats, ample sized tops and reln-
I forced heels and toes. Not only
I black and white and tan are procur-
able in them, hut a good range oi cob*
i ors as well.
