W« ONDER what the honest democrats ol
W the party in this county think when the>
* have "one passed over" on tnem like th{
convention last Saturday? Wonder what thf
rank and file of the party thinks when such mer
as J. T. Leard, one of the best known men of th(
county is set aside in his aspirations to be a party
leader? Wonder if the "people," whom this
great party represents, will always stand foi
such politics as was played last Saturday, when
the unit rule had to be applied to beat Mr. Leard
for democratic county chairman?
O
DEMOCRATS, in their resolutions at tht
court house last Saturday again went or
record for "economy." This makes th
'steenth time this has been done in this countj
since statehood, and every time we have highej
taxes. This year the taxes are more burdensomt
than the last time this resolution was passed, anc
there is no telling where taxes will stop if demo
crats keep on resolutin' about getting them lower
Resolutions -do no good so long as new offices art
created for political friends and additional expen-
ses are put on the people. The only way to lowei
taxes is to lower them, and it appears to be a dead
moral certainty that the democratic party in th<
state and county cannot do it.
O
WOMEN IN THE WORLD S WORK.
j\/l their share of the world's work. They have
proved invaluable assistants in office
work, have won to head clerkships and irequentlj
have been intrusted with the management oi
large affairs.
One feature alone in modern business life dem-
onstrates the progress and capacity of women be-
yond all argument. Have you stopped to thin!
that ten years ago there were probably not hall
a dozen metropolitan banks with separate depart-
ments for women? And today—a bank is not
metropolitan in banking unless it has just such
a department, and nine cases out of ten the per-
son in charge is a woman.
This means too that the women are not onlj
making money but are saving it. And with tht
accumulation of a bank account the woman be
comes independent. This is not alone fine foi
the individual woman, but for the race. The rea-
son is not far away. We hear so much of divor
ces and the evil of divorce, that we are often cast-
ing about for a remedy. One restraint is the busi-
ness woman.
Why is that true? Because as the woman en-
counters men in the business world she begins tr
acquire a proper perspective of men. In additior
as she is capable of supporting herself she is nol
nearly so likely to plunge into matrimony without
some thought of the chances of a failure. Wo-
man's business success will thus act as a healthy
check on her heart impulses. And you will rear
less about incidents of the following nature relat-
ed in a telegx-aphic item:
"I dare you to marry me tonight," said Jerry
J. Warren, of Key West, Fla., to Miss Clarissi
Prescott, of New York, at a dinner party in the
St. Denis Hotel last night.
"I'll take you up," replied Miss Prescott.
Justice Boyle performed the ceremony at mid-
night in his drug store.
Slap-dash marriages may turn out happily
sometimes, but the odds are not in their favor-
according to the available record.?.—Uncle Remu.*
Magazine.
to Roosevelt himself, was very close to the Stand-
ard Oil Company and trust money was very de-
sirable in furthering the political ambitions of T.
R., then as now. The only thing is that Bo*s Pen-
rose, having ceased to be useful to Roosevelt, is
br.inded as an outlaw and Boss Flinn is exalted as
an angel of righteousness.
Roosevelt says that "he refused to accept Stan-
dard Oil money because that corporation was
"opposed" to the bureau of corporations that was
one of the notable achivements of "my adminis-
tration." But just the same, the Standard Oil
Company did contribute to the Roosevelt cam-
paign fund as well as the other trusts. Roose-
velt's bureau of corporations was about as inef-
fective and useless an appendage of government
as ever was. But George W. Perkins had the
right idea. He cultivated this bureau under Her-
bert Knox Smith, and it was stated on the floor
jf congress that Perkins was able to gain infor-
mation from it that was withheld from congress
itself.
If Roosevelt felt so outraged at the proposal of
accepting money from the Standard Oil Company
vhy did he demand of the late E. H. Harriman
hat he raise $225,000 for the Roosevelt cam-
paign of 1904? Where did that ar.d more of the
ame money come from? If Roosevelt is indignant
it the proposal of Standard Oil to contribute in
1904, why does he today keep Perkins at h1., side
c pay his campaign bills? Perkins i- a director
n both the steel and the harvester trusts, which
ire in no way different from the Standard Oil
rust? Why does the sugar trust and the powder
rust stand so close to the Colonel today and why
s Wall Street backing his campaign practically as
i unit, including the Standard Oil banks? No man
n this country knows more about these things
han Senator Penrose and he told the truth on
he floor of the senate when he exposed the meth-
ods of soliciting and accepting campaign contri-
butions in 1904 and now.—Kansas City Journal.
O
SIMPLY PLAYING POLITICS.
DEMOCRATS who are admitted to the inner
circles of their party's councils in Congress
do not deny that the so-called Tariff legis-
ation proposed by the Democratic majority in
he House of Representatives is mere jockeying
or position in the Presidential race. It is not ex-
acted that any Tariff bill will become a law, noi
s it desired that such tangible results shall he
eached.
In brief, the Democratic leaders are not acting
n good faith. They pretend to be striving for a
,ound readjustment of important laws when they
lo not seek or intend to bring about any revision
>f the Tariff.
For the partisan advantage which they hope j
o obtain they are are juggling with laws afiect-
ng the very foundations of trade and industry, j
:o gain a more commanding position in th> 1'ies-1
dealial race they do not hesitate to k's^p the
uuntry in a state of doubt as to Tariff conditions j
nd prospects.
This means that the leaders of the party which
xpects to be in control of the national govern-!
nent after the fourth day of next March are not j
shamed to trifle with the livelihood of millions |
•f wageworkers. It shows that the masters of
he Democratic party are ready to make the safe-
y and welfare of hundreds of thousands of busi-
:ess men and those dependent upon them cards
n the game of partisan politics.
Uncertainty about the Tariff is acknowledged,
>n all sides to be bad for business. It is a heavy'
landicap for trade and industry. The fear of
oolish and ignorant action concerning the Tar-
ff sometimes involves the bankruptcy of honest
.nd worthy men striving for business success. It j
ften results in turning wage-earners out of doors I
nd bringing hardship upon their wives and chil-1
Iren.
Every intelligent American knows that all this i
s true, and yet the Democrats who control the I
louse of Representatives are not playing politics
.'ith the Tariff and keeping the country in a
tate of uncertainty as to conditions of vital im-
ortance to business and to the welfare of the
ation.—Cleveland Leader.

F. N. Molyneux for County Surveyor.
To the Tax Payers of the
State of Oklahoma:
/">KLAHOMACITY was made the permanent cspital of
this State by your votes on the i ith day of June, 1910;
the vote stood: Oklahoma City, 96,261; Guthrie, 31,301.
You are all familiar with the history and results of the lit-
igation which immediately began, and did not end until
November 13, 1911, when the Supreme Court of the United
States denied Guthrie's last appeal.
February 12, 1912, Oklahoma City voted certain bonds
that indirectly a fund of $loo,000 might be raised to oomply
with conditions agreed upon with the Governor preparatory
to starting work on the capitol building. Immediately there-
after Guthrie prepared to initiate her petitions tfor a new
election.
On the 21st day of May, 1912, Oklahoma City placed
in the hands of the Governor $100,000 i<i cash, and in addi-
tion thereto clear titles to 650 acres of ,land which will even-
tually bring to the treasury of the State for capital building purposes not less/than $1,40(^000. NO
SOONER WAS THE MONEY AND DEEDS PLACED IN THE HANDS OF THE GOVER-
NOR THAN THIS PrTTTION FOR A NEW ELECTION WAS FILED WITH THE
SECRETARY OF STATE. The capitol building would now be under/construction had it not
been for this action of Guthrie in forcing a new election. We believe fthe voters of the State
will be slow to cast aside this sum, and add additional burden upon themselves by voting to
remove the capital from this city. Three-fourths of the state departments are now located in

highest type.
There is not one
such building in
Guthrie. Okla-
homa City has
always made
good. Guthrie
has a long rec-
ord of repudi-
ated promises
and bonuses.
THIS IS WHAT THE GOVERNOR SAYS:'
"If this proposition is handled in a businesslike way <nd the
land is reserved from sale until the completion of the capital is
assured, I am thoroughly convinced that it will realixL* to the
state a sum sufficient, when added to the $100,000 inkash, to
fo far towards erecting the building, and that if handfod in this
way, it will realize to the state many thousands ol dollars more
than it would have been possible to do under the original
agreement."
After securing

other railways,
many of her cit-
izens repudiated
their bonus notes
went into court
and upon vari-
ous technicalities
\ evaded the pay-
ment of the

ised.
Yet with such a record citizens of Guthrie have da'ed to defame and villify Oklahoma City.
WHY VOTE ADDITIONAL BURDENS UPON OURSELVES?
Gosely connected with this project f</r the relocation of the permanent capital in another city
Is the question of taxes. We all knov> that in a new state like ours taxe^ are necessarily
and unavoidably high. The State ha% now a total bonded
and warrant indebtedness of abow't $4,500,000; and a
determined effort has been made ty/ our citizenship all over
the State to reduce taxes antl relieve the overburdened
farmer and business man. Q<t course this condition has
been augmented by hard tiroes. Bettore accepting the
Guthrie idea, returning to inconvenient and inflammable
temporary quarters for an indefinite time, and throwing
away the million and a half tendy ed by Oklahoma City
we ask the people to think twicf.. Guthrie papers have
admitted that they expect the j/ate to bear the full cost
of any building ever erected ♦'nere. Oklahoma City has
fulfilled every pledge up to tV.is minute, and stands ready
to go forward whenever permitted to do $0.

PENROSE STARTED SOME I HING.
WiATEVER else may be said for Senator
3enrose, he is quite as honorable and his
hands are quite as clean as those of Wil-
«jam Flinn. Rnonevelt's present manager in Penn-
sylvania. Of course, this i3 not saying much for
Pc ie. Perhaps it is an entirely unmerited dis-
pai - ment of the senator to compare him with
Flinn. But there was a time when Penrose was
highly useful to Roosevelt, just as Flinn is now.
