Hereafter it Is legitimate fo
ail persons v ho owe allegiance to
the English eiown to say, "By
George."
It is not so much a question of
the mistakes of the two corrective
county officers; it is more a ques-
tion of iheir achievements.
If the Lorimer investigation goes
on this summer the committee may
get a confession; the weather is
uncommonly suggestive, and should
■bring about a good old fashioned
case of repentance.
' One man who will get rich in
Enid is the man who has the grip
right now. Men who are worth
$1,000 today will by holding on
be worth $5000 on the first day of
January 1913. This is an
ncuncement and not a prophecy
"You know so many things
are not bo and that Is
your l rouble," said an old man
to h youth; that's true in the news
paper office too, and in the cases
of most men except a real erect
standpatter and an occasional
preacher, and an occasional school
teacher, and some occasional oth-
ers.

The law decides what officers
shall of shall not do; their elec-
tion promises are not the consid-
eration. The man who agrees no
to do 4iis duty, in a given case
and is elected on that platform
and then takes oath that he will do
i: 1b bound normally, legally, and
as a citizen of the nation to keep
that oath of office sacred—else
tl*at man is right who said on the
utreets of Enid the other day. "The
law? To hell with the law. Th
law was made for the benefit of
the lawyers."
If you depend upon the
mail to do that import-
ant business you may
regret the time it takes.
Successful men every-
where are using "West-
ern Union Day Letters"

clip days off the fast-

lenses the county attorney hae tipped

[not got them, it Is but (air lo ob-
1 serve that what Garfield county
| needs is a sheriff who can corner
up an attorney of that kind and
(drive him onto the house tops with
confession. One right man could
do It in thirty mlnuteB.
The relative importance of boot-
legging and horsestealing is not
the question at issue.
Will the sheriff do what ho
promised faithfully that he would
do? Will he do Ilia decent level
best to make good, and keep his
word to the people who believed
him, and thereby honor the law and
the dignity of his office? Or will
he call Harmon names when his
own hand is called? The same
question is up to Harmon. What
the people want is Bervlce.
Tweedle-dee and tweedle dum is
not the question that the people of
this county are putting up to Mr.
Sheriff Hume, or Harmon, or
any other man. Get the job done,
and never mind the hunchback.

\ prominent and pronounced
democrat of the old and dyed in
the wool variety finally sees the
light. He sees that no state can
dictate to men outside of the state
how they shall conduct their af-
fairs outside of that state. It is
all right to look after the welfare
of the state, but its all wrong to
make arbitrary conditions that
mean nothing of importance in any
event, and then defy the world to
come on. The defy will react for
several years as it has done in this
case. It never pays anyone any-
tme to go faster than he can go,
and that's exactly what Oklahoma
attempted to do this time.
The question that every slncerc
citizen has to answer nowadays
-:s fairly put in this: Which shall
1 be, a democrat or a republican,
or an American, in the sense that 1
believe the men have been who
have preserved the nation as a her-
itage to me and my ch/ldren?
Ohe same question is fairly put
to every man who is tempted to
sell his country's birthright, her
honor and her hope of endurance
It Is sometimes declared that the
farmers and small towns people and
the city of Enid are hauling away at.
he opposite ends of a cable that
should he used to pull great construc-
:ive policies into position, in Garfield
county. No doubt this contention is
based upon the dead past, if indeed
there is such a contention. There
are probably reasons for the differ-
ence on either hand, if the stories
are to be heard.
But they would avail nothing; men
always lose their pace when they
stop to find fault with each other.
Personal differences magnified into
community issueB are the most bane-
ful of influences. Cities are never
built so, and no farm in this or any
other county will increase in value
on that basis of decision and action.
Co-operation now. whatever the
past may have been is I he secret
Enid can scarcely hope to grow with-
out the active and cordial support of
the country, little towns as well as
close-in farmers. With such support
this city may dismiss any shadow of
doubts about the ultimate future.
The country 'round about is. un-
der the circumstances, held at a fig-
ure that fully represents its value,
the greatest resource that a great
part of the land of Garfield county
has is the city of Enid.
A man and his wife are as justifi-
able in quarreling as the city of
Enid and the country round about,
no matter who has said or done
wrong, or if both or neither. What
makes a cit> is today's work com-
pleted; what makes the country con-
tiguous to a city is the quality and
strength of co-operation of the farm-
er with the city in making that city
a center of population, industry and
social interest.
If there is any truth in the sugges-
tion that the people of Garfield
county and the city of Enid do not
agree, understand each other, and
work together to good advantage, it
is the fault of all of us; and the cure
is just as democratic. Everybody
must forget the things that causes
him to balk; he must say hello, and
take a hand; in ten minutes he will
he convinced, generally, and the in-
terdependence and mutual interest
that bind the people of Garfield coun
ty together inevitably will have been
established.
A good fair, for instance, is cer-
tainly of mutual interest to the peo-
ple of the county; it Is certainly so to
the people of Enid. If it hurts one
it will hurt the other. The city has
gone a good long way on that mat
ter. The farmers will join the cit:
tomorrow lo make a fair of this that
the whole county will enjoy and
profit from. It's for all the people
to grow by and own and learn from
There Is no city and country; just
the country, and the population cen

women, or parents and children.
.et's quit the nonsense of sparrinf
and quarreling, if we have been en
gaged. Everybody is indispensible
to the community, and the count
should act and think of itself, as
community.

THE QUESTION.
"I think the capture of horse
thieves is far more important than
any other work that this office has
to do." remarked one of the dep
sheriffs the other day. Perhaps
he is right, but—
When Sheriff Hume was nomi
r&ted for the office he said that he
would enforce the prohibition law
and do it to the satisfaction of the
people who had been warm 6up
porters of Sam Campbell; he made
the statement specifically, and told
how many barrels of beevr and how
much whiskey were being consum
eel in the city at that time, th
which he would stop and 6top for
keeps, if he got elected.
Many did not believe him, bu
more did believe him. and contend
ed that Hume was in earnest; that
his enemies were making an
warranted attack upon his veracity
and good word, as it had been
given, without any qualification. 01
condition. So the Eagle thought
Not a word was said about the re
lative merits of the crimes of
horsestealing, or any other crime
and bootlegging. Hume was going
to enforce this law prohibiting the
sale of liquor, specifically.
Since the election the sheriff
does not dispute the published
statement that he has not asked
a warrant for a bootlegger. When
confronted with the problem and
the charges of neglect of duty and
winking at the law which he said
he would enforce, the sheriff signed
an article which attempts to put
discredit upon the county attorney
Suppose the county attorney is
guilty? Ever so guilty? Does the
high sheriff think for a moment
conditions like that.
"Why don't you catch that horse
thief?" he might be asked, and
an answer comparable to that mad
in the case above would be. "You
are a hunchback, and 1 don't have
to do what you tell me."
Now when Hume was elected ho
did not say, "I will make the
bootleggers go if my attorney says
so." He said he would make them
get and stay away, and he made no
qualifications whatever.
Harmon may be guilty of tipping
off the jointists We submit
plan that will make him look like
thirty cents if he has been doing
that.
Let the sheriff act under the law
published elsewhere in today's
Eagle and get the men, the evi-
dence and the "goods" right into
the court house.

IDE STORY OF L
(Continued f'om Pa«e One)
John D. Rockefeller gets more
money per day, $109,000 than the
producer can earn in 200 years -
$4,000 per hour or $5 every four
ntfn^tes, and the people produce
while he merely has the legal right
to collect it from them.
An Undemocratic System
The system is wrong, undemocrat.
Ic, and will necessitate vigorous na-
tional reform, or will be followed by
a revolution. Women in sweatshops,
children in factories, and the crying
needs of millions make the monopoly
a menace and place upon the people
of the country the necessity of re-
form.
The railroads alone, said Mr. Ly-
barger, can control the nation, just
as certainly as the veins and arteries
can control the life of the body. He
illustrated it: Potatoes in a com--
munity In California one year were
10 cents per bushel. At another
point they were $1.00. The rate was
asked, and Mr. Huntington figured
He said the rate would be 85 cents
per bushel. That left a profit of
5 centB per bushel to the producer.
"The railroads alone can Impoverish
the American people." said he.
All of this means that the mono-
polies can and are working out a
system of slavery more abject than
any system of chattle slavery that the
world has even known
The remedy Is not socialism, nor
is it a nation of millionaire and
serfs. It Is the taxation of properly
the legal papers which make mono-j
polies. Every great fortune rests
upon the monopoly of the unearned|
increment, and the first, step toward l
righting this wrong Is the taxation
of all property at Its actual physical
valuation.
In this direction two great menl
lead: La Follette and Core, in (!)••
nation. The Bpeaker urged Oklaho-,
ma to follow up her lead and help|
bring about the adoption of the polI.|
cieB of these two men.
One remarkable featuje of thin |
lecture was the fact that the audt-j
nee did not Interrupt the speaker by!
applause. He was leading the
leading thought of the people in av-
enues that were far too Interesting
and deep to permit an Interruption
of that character,
