So far as Morgan's statement goes i
(The News think's he simply made an
kid of himself. He must have been rat
i tied. We admit it was a "body blow.”
Yet, no republican who favored the
resolution at (Juthrie would feel in-
j i lined to change it on account of Mor
i pan’s queer antics—they are in favor ■
| of both the Pnvne bill and the admin-
| istration.
., But. when it comes to giving Morgan j
I any further encouragement they may
j balk. It is our honest opinion that
| Morgan simply cut off his own head.
That Is all. His statement or anything
j he could state or do would not cause
i uc to turn against the Payne bill or
I the President.
( As matter of fact Morgan's state-
ment was more of a "body blow” to
republicans of the second than of the
first district.

EDITOR IALETT.
The Walters Journal taitesi off its
hat to Kate Barnard. The Journal is
a true Suthen-eh that'B all.
If you find It necessary, brother
to bid for democrat votes by fight-
ing a republican like Joe Cannon,
then get out of the race.
The Times argues that it should
not be criticised for expressing its
sentiments. The Times is'iight for
once in what it says, but as usual is
wrong in its premises—it is crtlclsed
for pretending to ho republican.
It is a thousand times more impor-
tant to elect republican congressmen'
who stand by (the party than to carry
this state, if either might be sacri*
fleed. A democrat-insurgent house
next time means a democrat to suc-
ceed Taft. That would mean four
years of'panic.
I would simply tell them to go straigli
up.
I would resign.
If Morgan felt that something had
to be said at this time by him, then
he might have republished his great
speech on gypsum protection. His ef-
fort to stimulate that industry .did
him a world of good.
While the statement lie actually
made seems to have been made stud-
iously in favor of those who are op-
posing the state of Oklahoma organiza
tion. It is accepted by them as "a stag
going blow to Oannonism” and such
like.
The npshop of the statement will
likely be to bring forth a strong op-
posing candidate. The fight on Joe
Cannon by the Herman Ridder news-
paper trust has been reacting ofr
months in this diggins, and anything
that tends to put Caunonism in issue
seems to be from that source.
WANT JUSTICE DONE
ATTITUDE OF THE PEOPLE TO
WARD THE SUGAR TRUST.
The Oklahoman even has come to
the defense of the Times. Now, why
do you suppose Roy C 'afford feels
called upon to argue that The Times
is a republican paper, and should not
be repudiated by the republican par-
ty? Is it because C. B. Ames and
Governor Haskell own most of the
stock?
MORGAN'S STATEMENT
The News man has been greatly
surprised at the statement printed in
this state purporting to be authorized
by Congressman Morgan. We were
Burpiised, first, that he should make a
statement at all until conditions In
his district demanded it, or. at least
under the fire of democratic papers.
Second, we were amazed at a part of
what it contained.
Not that Morgan is personally
against Cannon for succeeding him-
self to the speakership once more,
but that he said he would remain
away from republican caucuses while
at Washington if the people of his
district desired it.
If Mr. Morgan meant anything at
all by such a statement he means
that he would go into the democratic
party and vote for Champ Clark as
against Mr. Cannon should his party
constituency make such demand up-
on him by a majority showing.
It is quite fair to say that the demo-
cratic press hasn't, so far. shown
much disposition to take Mr. Morgan
seriously. Yet Senator Teller of Col-
orado did just that kind of a stunt.
1 have always believed that should *
I be elected to a party position in-
volving principles, as the congressman-
a. office does, it should be because
cf my personal views agreeing in the
main with the vital principles of my
party.
For instance, if the republicans
should hive sent me to congress on
the republican platform of 1908 to re-
vise the tariff nnd fonnulgate a forest
preservation policy In accordance
with plans advocated for years by a
leader like Joe Cannon. I think I
should carry out my part of that plat
form, regardless of my personal pre-
ferences for speaker. Then should
my constituents turn out to be such a
lot of leatherheads as to request me
to vote for. Champ Clark ns against
Joe Cannon simply because Joe help-
ed me to fulfill my election promise.
A REAL BODY BLOW.
The statement of Congressman
Dick T. Morgan of the Second Okla-
homa district he will make the
race for congress on an anti-Cannon
platform is a merciless blow to the
postmaster brigade in the First dis-
trict who have been saying that
"against Cannon is not republican.”
The statemet of Dick Morgan, re-
iterating his antl-Cannonism and
called forth by the sentiment of his
constituents. Is a real body blow to
the McGuire suporters In the First
district.—Enid Eagle.
The republican committee should be
called together at once and change
those resolutions. Mr. Morgan has
kicked over the dashboard and tukes
a firm stand against "Cannonism’
and “Aldrichlsm." lie wants to get
right with his people.—Hornet.
The Enid and Waukomis papers
from which the foregoing clippings are
taken each professes its loyalty to
and interest In the success of the re-
publican party at its next comgres-
sionalelection. But why?
The News admits its roek-ribed re-
publicanism. It is for the success of
the party at all times The party has
a well defined, carefully followed poli-
cy that builds up every phase of hu-
man life. Protection is its sacred doc-
trine and Lincoln its prophet
Why are you fellows republicans?
That part of the Guthrie resolution
you condem is this “We congratulate
the country upon its (Payne-Aldrich
tariff bill) adoption and commend the
action of the republican congressmen
of Oklahoma in voting for this bill
and in giving their loyal support to
the national republican administra-
tion.
It you want republican congressmen
then wlnt do you want them for? If
you condem the republicans now in
congress for standing by the party,
'lien it must be true that your pet
candidate has an uudirstanding with
you that he will be against the party
if elected.
This you have been denying to the
rest of us.
Now. he honest with us and say j
which side you are on, you can not i
ride the fence any longer.
First, are you against the Pavne j
tariff bill?
Second, are you against the republl- j
can administration?
If you answer "Yes" then why
are you so everlastingly fighting that
part of the Guthrie resolutions?
If you answer “No" then why
want to be called a republican?
Another thing while on the Enid
subject. In last Sunday's Oklahoman
was a lot of rot under an Enid dis-
patch lambasting.the republican party
and praising the “insurgents." It pur-
ported to be from a “republican-re-
publican.”
At the same time we have noticed
a lot of "insurgent" dope in the Eagle
Demand Is Not Made in a Spirit of
Vengeance But for Its Effect In
the Upholding of the Law.
At last one of the high officials of
the American Sugar Refining Com-
| pany—the sugar trust—has been in-
dicted for the monstrous and long-
j continued swindling of which the fed-
; era! government was the victim. Char-
les R. Heike, secretary and treasurer
of the company, is important enough
and responsible enough to count ma-
terially in its inner circles. He is
powerful enough to be dangerous to
other men of greater authority, if he
] can be induced to tell all that ' he
I knows.
j .With Heike is indicted Harry Walk-
! er. assistant superintendent of the Wil-
i Hamsburg docks of the trust, and
j James F. Bendernagel, former cashier
| at the same docks, also Ernest W. Ger-
bracht, former superintendent there,
as well as certain subordinantes who
| have been Indicted before. All of these
sugar trust men are charged with con-
spiracy to defraud the government.
No one who is well informed be-
lieves that the top of the corrupt line
has been reached. It is altogether
probable that men still higher in auth-
ority are more guilty than any so far
brought within the sweep of the grand
Jury s net, but if they can be reached
at ail it will be through such measures
as these Indictments. It may be that
if the government can convict the men
it has accused they will decline to
bear the punishment for their crimes
in silence. They may insist upon
bringing do»’n other and more notable
personages to share their troubles and
go with them to the penitentiary, if
need be *-
That .s what the country desires to
see, not so much in a spirit of ven-
geance as for the sake of checking a
dangerously common laxity about
dealings with the government, in which
the liutlon, the states and the cities
are defrauded. The whole country
wants to see full and impartial jus-
tice done. It Is eager to witness the
wholesome spectacle of trust mag-
nates punished exactly as persons of
uo prominence or wealth would be for
Uke frauds upon the nation’s treasury
aud like contempt for its laws.

For Two New States.
There was no opposition worthy of
notice in the house of representatives
when the bill admitting Arizona and \
New Mexico as separate states was j
passed. If the senate took the
wishes cf the people Ns its guide there }
would be no resistance in that body
to the speedy fulfillment of manifest j
destiny tn tlie ease of these two terri- ■
torles—the last remaining tn the
United States not counting Alaska and
the Island possessions of the republic.
Both of the territories are much bet-
ter qualified for statehood than sev-
eral of the states admitted many
years ago. They have enough peo-
ple, plenty of natural resources and i
a fair promise of continued and satis-
factory growth. It is only a question
of years, if not months, when both will
be members of the great sisterhood
under the Stars and Stripes and there {
seems to tie no good reason for much '
further delay.
Appreciating Its Gravity.
"The American people are just be
ginning to appreciate the gravity of
the problem of forest preservation.
This problem involves not merely our
fuel and lumber supply but future
rainfall, produettvit; of farms, inland
navigation and the drinking water sup-
ply of cities. It does not affect merely
amall areas and out of the way cor
ners of the country. It touches the
welfare of the entire country. Few
questions have a more intimate and
vital bearing on the nation's future.
JOHN FIELDS.
One of the News man's very best
friends is John Fields, editor of The
Oklahoma Farm Journal. When the
Stillwater Gazette first mentioned
his name for governor we immediate-
ly called at his sanctum in full sym-
pathy with the* suggestion.
Mr. Fields did not relish the idea
much. He is not a politician. He
said his job was perfectly satisfac-
tory and paid him better than the
highest state office would. Besides
the scurry and deviltry of a cam-
paign repudiated his most urgent po-
litical ambitions.
Time went on, however, and the
other day we re-visited his sanctum
to ascertain if there had been a
change of heart since the call for
"John Fields” has spread so over the
state.
“I have decided," said Mr. Fields,
j "to enter the race. If I can do any-
| thing to drive out of j>ower the gang
I that now burdens the people of the
I state, maybe it is my duty as a good
I citizen. I haven't asked for the of-
! flee—for the mere sake of office I
J wouldn't have it. I couldn't afford it.
j If the people trust me and desire my
| services, I will try to laud the office
j for that reason only.”
And that is exactly how John feels,
j His present job is to him the very
best and most comfortable position
there is in the state. He would rath-
er make a good farm journal, mix
i with and keep in touch with the farm-
j ers of the state than to do anything
j else in the world. He is at home
with them is just the same sense that
an old slave feels at home on the
(old plantation: lie is happy only as
their servant.
Fields will quit any care, drop any
piece of work, or turn the door upon
anyone else to explain the smallest
things to a farmer. Helping the farm-
er is his life business and in this he
has succeeded so well that the office
of governor now appeals to him only
as a means to still greater and broad-
er usefulness.
To show that he has succeeded, we
refer only to his work as an editor.
| He and his associate, Mr. Northrup,
j have built the Oklahoma Farm Jour-
nal up to an actual paid-in-advance
| list of over 40,000, which is by far
the largest circulation of any publi-
; cation in the state. Not only that, its
copies are eagerly sought by subscrib-
ers for the live news and instructive
editorials just like people grab for a
live daily paper. This is a fact we
never knew of connected with any
nther journal of its kind. Most of
them are dumped onto people as long
as the:- will be carried from the post-
office.
That isn't all. It pays. The busi-
ness of The Oklahoma Farm Journal
is safer than any bank, more regular
than any farm, and Is more pleasant
work for its promotors than any sal-
aried state office in Oklahoma. Its
value as an institution is ' -sing
at least 25 per cent ever: t
So. you do not know what sacrifice
John Fields is making when he con-
sents to withdraw from both his pro-
fession and his business to serve the
peopIV of his state.
There are hut two things In it. pat-
riotism and prospect of greater ser-
vice to his people.
Should he be selected finally as the
successor to Governor Haskell, this
unselfish devotion to the people Is
not all that will be brought into pub-
lic service. There wil be an imme-
diate slashing of expenses and kick-
ing out of idlers and useless inspec-
tors from the pay car. The same bus-
iness economy taught the farmer will
be practlcedin 'he White House.
