over the state must come out of the
general treasury and be raised by
taxation.
We are firmly of the opinion that
the time has come to call a halt on
this election business, that the time
has come to relegate the initiative
and referendum and a lot of other
fads and expensive political machine-
ry to the dung heap from which
they never should have emerged.
The Illinois Bankers Life Association of Mon-
mouth, Illinois, offers straight high grade Life Insur-
ance without investment or social features. They
write policies on both men and women at age 15 to

age 50, $22.50, and other ages in proportion. It

With Walt Ferguson running for
governor and Everett Purcell in the
race for congress the newspaper fra-
ternity will have its hands full
boosting its friends and fellow pencil
shovers. " Don't run, boys. Stay
in your chosen field and redeem the
state as you started.
o
~ It looks like it must be done. Tell
Teddy to get his rough riders ready
for an invasion of Mexico, after
which we will make him governor-
general and send Charley Haskell
down as prime minister—then the
good old U. S. and Oklahoma can
sleep sound o' nights.
O '
The Choctaw county fair this year
will be a hum-dinger. There was
never better crops and there will be
something to show. Get yours
ready to win a prize. Don't wait
until you get here and see the oth-
ers and whisper to your wife that
you have produce at home that baats
it all. Get in the game and be fix-
in' for the premium.
O
Ohio seems to be a bad state for
Oklahoma politicians to hail from.
Preston McGoodwin, who is connect-
ed with the Oklahoman, was recently
named for minister to Venezuela,
but there are affidavits going in to
Mr. Wilson from the old Ohio home
and it now looks that Preston will
continue his connections in Oklahoma
City' O \
Cruce and the Pardons.
Whether the governor can make it
stick or not he is morally right in
his repudiation of the damphool ac-
tions of the senile and doty Mr.
McAlester while the chief was en-
joying the cooling breezes of the golf
linkfc in Kansas City There appears
to have been a job put up some-
where and sometime the people will
know of it. True McAlester was
Governor McAlester while Mr. Cruce
was out of the state, but surely he
had been sufficiently close with the
policies of the governor to know the
long drawn out fight Cruce had had
against this book contract to know
that Cruce was the man to handle
the affair. Somebody put one over
on the old man and on the state.
To lay the least of it, the old man
was a little presumptious to stick
his nose in the pudding at all. He
might have known that it would
ruin it. He tried it once before and |
the mess could not be swallowed, or
i so you had to hold your mouth!
shut to keep from losing it. The!
whole transaction should be j
.reated as it really is, a huge joke,,
jrith the old gentleman as the joke, j
He may have meant all right, but he
:ertainly did play the devil with the
jolicies of the administration.
O
One thing we must give the pres-
ent city administration credit for,j
ind that is the way the streets are
jeing cared for. There has never,
>een proper care taken of our half
nillion dollar streets, but Mayor
tlilam seems determined to keep
.hem clean.
O
Relations between this country and
•lexico are becoming very grave.
The president has sent a personal j
representative to the City of Mexico,
and the president and congress are j
working together to settle the mat- j
ter without bloodshed, if possible, j
but there is surely some Btromy j
sailing ahead for the people down to,
the south of us.

The dates have been fixed for the
Choctaw county fair. Those who
intend taking an active interest in
the exhibits can now begin to make
preparations. This will be the big-
gest county fair yet held in this
county; the exhibits will be greater!
and the premium list will be larger,;
as there will be more money availa- j
ble for the purpose than ever be-
fore. Watch this paper for the
entire list, which will be printed as
soon as the fair management finishes
making it up .
O
Oklahoma newspapers are taking
up a fight for a "smaller legisla-1
ture." The editors are advocating a!
measure which will give us a "legis-
lature which shall be small in num-j
bers, but composed of high-class men
who are capable of earning salaries
of $4,000 per annum." The propos-
ed measure sounds alright—and
enough men could be found to fill
The Initiative is a Failure.
Nothing more completely and em-
phatically indicates the folly of the
system of the initiative and refer-
endum than the election held in Ok-
lahoma on Tuesday, says the Tulsa
faorld.
Here were submitted seven ques-
tions, some of them of great mo-
ment, but so thoroughly disgusted
are the people of this state with the
perpetual campaigning which has
been going on since the beginning of
statehood that not ten per cent of the
vote was cast. And right here an-
other weakness of the referendum
system is exposed. We have the
spectacle of ten per cent of the peo-
ple legislating for the whole mass
of the population. It is a govern-
ment of the minority.
We do not believe that the spe-
cial interests, so-called, desire the
repeal of this iniquitous method.
The special interests can generally
secure enough signatures to initiate
a measure and, depending on the
lack of interest among the people,
they poll their votes and the general
public remains away. This is con-
clusively demonstrated in the in-
stance of the adoption of the sec-
tion repeling section 9 of.articleS of
the constitution. Twice this repeal
clause has been submitted to the peo-
ple of the state at a general elec-
tion and twice it has been decisively
repudiated. But along comes a
special election and the repeal clause
carries by a vote of two to one.
There is no other explanation for
this apparent chance of sentiment
than that the people have got tired
of going to the polls.
We have had this special election
business worked to a frazzle in Ok-
lahoma. There has been scarcely
a week in the last six years when
we did not have a special election of
some sort or other. Any bucolic
statesman with a fantastic idea of
amending the constitution could get
the signatures and subject the state
to an expense of one hundred thou-
sand dollars because that is just
what these special elections cost.
And the burden of all this useless
and cumbersome machinery must
be borne by the people. The money
to pay for the printing and the sala-
ries of all the election officers all
