FLYNN CANNOT PROFIT BY PAST
LABORS.

L4BOhS.
Chairman French Of the Peoples
Party central committee, has issued q
call fixing the date of the Populist con-
vention at oklahoms City, July 51-the
same date and place as the Democratic
convention. That the Populsts as
we'll as the reform forces of Oklaho,
ma, desire to cooperate with Democ-
racy in over throwing Republicanism
has long been apparent, and the fact
that the Populists show no disposition
to overleap themselves is gratifying
intelligence. AS Chairman French
very properly says the talk of Flynn
having a waikover this campaign on
account Of the passage of the free
homes bill is the veriest rot and moon
shine. Free homes, which has alway 6
been q non-partisan issue, will not
figure in this campaign. Mr.. Flynn
cannot expect TO win votes by ex'
plotting the work he has already ac-
compli.heG; people do not look
to the past or kindly review
the buried lsbors Of public men. The
average voter, as rule, looks for
ward he turns listless ear to ancient
history, but is keenly alive to promis-
es and a declaration of intentions.
The passage of the free homes bill
gives enthusiastic applause to Mr..
Flynn, and with its passage was re-
moved local issues. The congTession~
al campaign this year, however fool
ish it may appear when it is consider
ed that the territory has no vote, must
be based on national issues. The far.
mer who for a mum Der of years voted
for Flynn teemingly ss a matter Of
seif-interest, believing as he did so
that Flynn being in harmony with the
ma ajori'y element uld lift the mort
gage from his home, can now seek his
real political beliefs and emphasize
their meaning without qualm Of con
science or a self-fear of ingrstitude
The average voter believes that Flynn
merely did what any Popul st or Dem
ocrat could have done had either of
them been members of a majority
branch of the congressional body. For
these reasons Flynn has o walk over
In fact, he stands less chance of re-
election this year than at any previous
campaign. All that is necessary 10
bring about new deal is harmony
and united effort and work on the
/ part Of the reform forces of the terri
tory. Flynn's defeat means terrific

ALL THEY DO Is TALK.

CounciImen Let the City stink While
They Squander Money.
EDITOR LEADER--I see that our big
headed city council has agreed to pay
somebody 81, 800 for making an esti-
mate of the cost Of sewers for this
city. 1t seems TO me that this is use
less, or at least very extravagant
price for that service. Almost any
mechanic or person at all familiar with
mathematics can MAKE that estimate
for great deal less than S1,5OO.
II the council would compel the
police to enforce the sanitary ordi-
nances against citizens who have un-
clean premises and use 81, 500 in clean
ing alleys, the city could soon be in
good condition instead of daily grow
ing worse. Its condition is bad all
over, but worse in its very center than
anywhere else This is liable to pro-
duce mt n sickness and suffering, and
will cost many times as much as it
would to clean up now.
For two months our city council has
been meeting night after night and
doing a great amount Of talking about
wells and sewers, but that has not
benefited the city one cent. Now will
they not just please to order q
general clean up and thereby benefit
everybody? CITIZEN.

Normal Institute.

The normal institute is humming
away al its work this week. Only one
more week remains to complete the
course and Conductor Dodd is making
the most of the time. He says that
the reason there are no lectures TO en-
liven the institute for the year is be-
cause the town is too large for such a
thing as an institute, for in times past
no one patronized the events and it
was thought not to have anything of
that nature in connection with the III
stitute this year.
