The
OKLAHOMA'S GREAT NEWbPAPfcR
AND OKLAHOMA'S GREAT SPIRIT
From the amall frame hooaa that wan htxne for the State Capital when
tta flrat number wae Issued In Guthrie to the magnificent building with acres
of floor space which la to be dedicated to the great newspaper this w«*k is
a Jong atep. The aulde ha* been made In a short spare of time and Is no
gr^ate/ th.in the ad*anco made by the pccrleaa city that la 'he home of tho
State Capital. In both Instances there Is something of wonder—an indication
of the energy of a people, of the rlrillt) >f t nonie. Thirteen years ago the
State Capital was a struggling small dally In a new town of a new country.
All of the elemnta that have since be« n demonstrated to bo good were Un-
tried, unknown, and held In the thrall of forbidding conditions. But the
people of Oklahoma had pluck; and they were stimulated with the spirit of
ih« wind and the son! of the pioneer.
fet between the small quarters and the illralnutlvp product of rhoai
early dc ^ ar.d the -ompiete equipment and grc^lne-v of th > Statte Capital
of the present, and Its superlative situation in prospect with the n*w build-
ing erected almost on the site of th* recently flre-vanqnlshed structure,
there Ui a direct relationship; as there between the city nf Guthrie todsy
and the *!ty. inchoate but confident, of that first day. And of the changes
that hare come over the city the State Capital ha.-; been ver the chronicler,
changing as it marked changes in the city, its hotn*; and the territory, Ita
hope and faith and st the present time standing full height amid the trans-
formed conditions that have marked the environment of Its birth. Not fire
nor force of clrcumatancea have retarded it It has taken the dignity of a
personality to be measured against the times of the great commonwealth of
Oklahoma as well as the peerless city of Guthrie.
In the Btate Capital of today as in the Territory of Oklahoma is seen the
result of the work that has made the west synonymous with success—that has
made the pioneer the world-recognized leader In development and outatrip-
plng of fortneT precedenta. And this thought is intensified by the reflection
that just thirteen years to a day after the first copy of the State Capital
wss issued the plant that represented the accumulations of those rapid
and strenuous years was entirely consumed by fire and became almoat a
icftal toes. The beginning all bad to be mado over again in so far aa the
i*al work of publishing was concerned. But the readers of the great
Oklahoma newspaper were not disappointed for long. No issue was missed
and only a f*w of tbem were less meritorious than the high standard that
had be*n developed in the thirteen years of labor. It was the spirit of the
West again that showed to the State Capital the necessity for keeping on
and doin" better. It was the enterprise that made Oklahoma great and
I* yet oniy w<fl started that inspired the State Capital and tided in all
T-3y to make the Inspiration a reality In accomplishment.
The new building of the Btate Capital Is being rapidly pushed to com-
pletion. The cornerstone will be laid Thursday by the Grand Lodge oil
Masons o? Oklahoma, and the exercises will be participated In by many of
Oklahoma * leadings citizens who are thoroughly Oklahoman and thoroughly
friendly to the institutions that are pushing Oklahoma to the front of the
list of good places to live in and good places to have faith in.
The State Capital will not be remembered in any time save ns of the
cf-wa who were loyal and enChualastlc. It is In this feature of the situation
tfat much room for felicitation is found. It is in this inatance that tfie
State Capital has as much prlds as It has in Its merit* per se as a great news,
jwper For the one it is but the corollary of the other. The Stafe Capital
is endeavoring to keep abreast the current that is taking Oklahoma to
greater things—to the full realization of what is posHible and therefore as-
mired—for this is Oklahoma.
When the new State Capital building shall lie complete,! there will not
t*- an exeuslvely designed newspaper office and printing plant In ail the
Southwest that will have a more complete proposition or a better dctdgned
and operated building. The new structure hax been laid along llneH of
practical utility, the result of years of experience. The mistakes that have
been made in the past in construction of buildings for homes for large
enterprises of peculiar natures have all helped in making the new Sta*o
building a model of completeness. With It*, completion will be
lent to the State Capital a capacity that seeniH to be unlimited. It tnay be
•hat the great city of Guthrie will In another thirteen years outgrow the
preset State Capital equipment as the present city outgrew the hand press
of thirteen years ago. It is hoped that such may become the case.
In the present greatness of the State Capital i« an eloquent argument
of the superlative greatness of the territoiy of which the former Is « part.
In the enormous circulation of this great u«w«paper Is the showing of tba
*ro*th and fltnwn of Oklahoma.
