It appears, says Cincinnati Enquirer,
that the Filipinos are not easily influenc-
ed by the ballot. During the presidenti-
al campaign of last year it was solemnly
promlsod that the re-election of William
McKinley would have the effect of im-
mediately bringing the war in the Phil-
ippine Islands to aclose; that the "rebels"
were only holding out in the hopo tha'
(he election of a new administration
would result in the immediate withdraw-
al of theUnited States troops from the is-
lands. Possibly not as many people were
1'volish enough to believe this thoory as
the administration managers supposed.
What the country needs is not fewer pros
idential campaigns, but more dignified
ones. Campaign lying ought to be made
iis reprehensible as cheating in business
1 lansactioh.
From Guthrie Capital, Jnu. 15.
A party of Hennessey's business men
composing' that city's "Roy Cashion
Monument" committee, was in the cits
yesterday and on Weduesday in confer-
ence with Governor C. M. Barnes regard-
ing the construction of the monument t<
the young horo of Oklahoma who fell in
Huba while a member of the Rough Rid
er regiment. The committee is compos
sd of William P. Griffin, Tipton Cox
and C. H. Miller.
The committee, iu company with
Judge W. C. Steven, the speaker of the
house, and Senator P. L. Winklor, called
on Governor Barnes and made known the
fact that they bad succeeded in raisin
the ?800, which the city promised to raise
for jts share of the monument fund.
The legislature of two years ago ap
propriated $2,000 for the monument ol
which amount th« people of Hennessey,
the home of Roy Cashion, agreed to raise
$S!)0.
Governor Barnes was informed that
the WOO were ready to be turned over
the visiting gent leman having with them
a certified check for that amount. Ini
mediately a call will be made for designs
and bids for construction of the monu
merit. Th# call will be majc from the
governor's office.
It is the desire of t he Hennessey peopl
that the monument aliall be completed
by next Decoration Day, May30. All ar
rangements are to be m&dt with th^t end
in view and the work will be accomplish
e l .•« rapidly as possible. Thia will b
?reat undertaking and will require much
haste to complete by that date, but the
people of that ciu have prosed them-
selves hustlers
The monument will be o# white gran-
e and will be located in the Hennessey
park. The city council has completed
11 plans for tho location and douated the
ito in the park. The monument w ill be
not only to the memory of Buy C.uhion
>ut will always indicate the spirit aud
patriotism of tho people of his native
ity.
3ame Law Measure that Should be Killed,
Several tery pernicious measures have
tieen introduced in both branches of the
ixth assembly. Among them is a din-
>olical bill offered by John Campbell.
s house bill No. 27, and it provides
for the repeal of sections three, ten,
eleven and fifteen, of chapter 15, game
aws of 1899.
This bill should bo given n good
lealthy lick hot ween the eyes and killed
orever. Moreover, tho royal people of
Oklahoma who believe in protecting
lome interests and territorial game,
ibould pass a resolution of condemnation
o the man who fathers such a villainous
neasure.—Guthrie Leador.
A MISTAKF..
Some of our farmer friends thought
that the poultry show was a rabbit's foot
;et the people to come to town, to get
to collect an admittance fee to the show,
aBd otherwise get their money. It was
mistake. If there was anyone more
benefitted than the farmers from the
show, wo would like to know who it was
they won all tho prizos, and it was
just, too, because they had the bast
birds. But don't forgot that a number
of our citizens helped lo contribute with
loaned birds.

Or.ly a Printer.
"Ho is o'liv a printer." Such was th
sneering remark of a leader in a circle ol
aristocracy—the codfish quality. Whi
was the Earl of Stanhope? lie was onl\
a printer. What was Prince Edwarrl
William and Prince Napoleon? Proui
to crM themselves priulers. The present
Czar of Russia and tho Duke of Batten-
burg are printers, and the Emperor of
China workod ia a privato printing office
almost every tlav,
William Caston, tho l'athor of English
literature, wma practical printer. What
were G. P. Morris, N. P. Willis, .lames
Gale. James Parker, Horace Greeley.
Charles Dickens, .lames Buchanan, Si-
mon Cameron, Schuyler Colfax and Goo.
W. Childs? Printers, all, and practica'
ones. Also Bayard Taylor, the poet.
Mark Twain, Amos Cuinmings, Bert
llarto, Opie Uoid, Henry M Stanley, thr
African explorer and author, are plain
printers «s were Arlomu* Ward, Petro-
leum V. Nasby and Sut I-oviogwood.
Senator Plumb was a printer, and so is
James P. llogg, of Texas, and the leader
of science and philosophy, Benjamin
Frnnklin( in his days made it his boas!
that he was a printer.
T. T. Vol'/, and C. F. Molntire also are
printers.
In fact, thousands of the most brillir>nt
minds in the country are to bo found
toiling in the publishing houses of lar e
cities and towns. It is not everyone that
can be a printer-'brains are absolutely
necessary.
