So far as THE LEADER has seen or
heard, Mr. Flynn has not attempted
to deny the authorship Of the sooner
bill introduced by him in the house at
the evening session Of August TO- last.
but on the contrary, that he admits,
TO his close political associates, that
he had to do it on account OF "the
pressure brought TO bear on him; but
that "the bill will meyer pass" An
honest confession, no doubt. But
what pressure do you refer TO- Mr.
Flynn? Was it the honest settlers
who came to oklahoma to secnre
homes ir good faith and who complied
with the law; or that other set who
ignored the law and preempted the
choicest lands foi speculative pur.
poses? But you need not answer

ARAB sUPERsrITIoNs.
Concerning Rumbling sounds Heard
Near the Red Sea.

Concerning Rumbling sounds Heard
Near the Red Sea.
A singular phenomenon occurs on
the borders of the Red sea, at place
called Nallous, where intermittent un-
, derground sounds have been heard
for unknown centuries. II is situated
at about half n miles distance from
she shore, whence a long reach of
sand ascends rapidly TO height of
800 feet. The reach is about 80 feet
wide and resembles an amphitheater,
being walled in by low rocks. The
sounds coming up from the ground at
this place, recur at intervals of about
an hour They at first resemble a low
murmur, but ere long there is heard a
loud knocking, somewhat like the
strokes OF a bell, and which, at the
end of five minutes becomes so strong
as to agitate the sand.
The explanation of this curious
phenomenon given by the Arabs is
that there is a convent under the
ground here, and that these sounds
are those Of the bell which the monks
ring for prayers. So they call IL Ma
kous, which means bell. The Arabs
affirm that the noise so frightens their
camels when they hear il as TO render
them furious. Philosophers attribute
the sound TO suppressed volcanic ac-
tion probably TO the bubbling of gas
or vapors underground

boast and claim that he introduced
more bills for his territory in the last
congress- than all the delegates from
all the other territories combined.
That might be true, and yet be really
nothing to boast of. The other terri

for years and require but little special
legislation, the departments having
control of their affairs in large meas
ure. Not so with oklahoma, which is

TnE LEADER would not detract one

enumerating the measures he intro

which ones he originated and drafted
and which were prepared by Demo

A PATRIOTIC DUTY.

In the scramble for office before
party nominating conventions it is
often the case that through wire-pul-
ling and triekery unworthy, incompe-
tent and dishonest men secure nomi-
nations, and by reason of political
prejudice and allied partisan zeal the
party following rally 10 their support
and elect them. The people of okla.
homa and Logan county have had too
much and too recent experience along
this line TO need more than the mere
statement of the fact TO remind them
OF its truthfulness. The LEADER
would not inveigh against the custom
of making party nominations. Under
representative form OF government;
that is, government Of and for the
people, party organization is necessary,
for obvious reasons. What we do OBJ
jeet to and protest against is the care
lessness Of parties in making selection
of candidates, or rather, in permitting
self seekers to manipulate the party
machinery SO as to secure nomination
and election. II all parties would ad-
here TO the good old Democratic prin-
ciple OF allowing the Office to seek the
man land there is no other fair aud
honest way TO do IT. fewer mistakes
would be made and parties aud the
community would not SO frequently
suffer from the derelic.ions of public
officials.
The crying evil we complain OF pro-
yoked the declaration from the most
distinguished Republican of the west
thAt.."the purifcation of politics is an
irideseent dream;" but we do not ae-
eept it as a fixed fact. True. the ex-
eesses in legislative and administra-
tive rffairs into which the Republican
party, through its officials, had run,
and the extreme difficulty the
country experienced in throwing
of the yoke, caused many 10 accept

The GUTHRIE LEADER tries to make
it appear that the importation Of free
foreign wool will increase the demand
for home grown wool and thereby
stimulate the sheep industry. The
only evidence necessary TO refute THE
LEAnERs logic is the fact that the
wooden industry has fallen off and the
numbers of sheep greatly diminished
through the threat of free wool.
The foregoing from the Medford
Patriot, the ablest Republican news
paper in the territory, is but a repeti-
tlon of the excuse set up by that par
" FOR the wreckage its high pro-
lection policy has wrought to the va
ried interests of the country Without
attempting TO contradict or disprove a
single statement Of fact set out by
THE LEADER, the Patriot charges the
depression of the wool industry to the
threat of free wool" If the threat
diminishes the wool industry, will the
Patriot be good enough to tell MS what
1t is that is giving the industry such
stimulus, now that the threat is an
actuality?

ing, heartily, The last act OF congress

at the same time condomning the ac-
tion of the reealcitrant Democrats who
prevented more thorough reform in
the law. The significance of these
resolutions is found in the fact that
Youngstown and Mahoning county
