TTnLf AZ.

AAOAhAs
The city ticket printed on this page
should be elected Tuesday. 1t is a
Democratic ticket, composed Of
thoughtful business men, who pay
taxes and who are interested in the
city's betterment. The same cannot
be said Of the opposition ticket. Only
four Republican candidates pay taxes
in this city,while there are others who
are rampant socialists and dems-
gogues BY allowing them voice on
the board of education school interests
are bound to suffer, and in the same
ratio there will be suffering in the
council with such men in evidence.
The Democratic candidates are we'll
known to the voters. They are not
newcomers and harbor no selfish mo.
tives. They simply wish to see city
and school Offices purified, and this
will certainly be the case in the event
of their election.
For city marshal no better man than
Robert Meyers could be rAmed for the
place. He is taxpayer and has re-
sided in Guthrie ten years. Reynolds
is comparatively unknown Rnk thus
far has done little 70 commend his ad- :
ministratioh.

Origin of "Cnder the Rose"

In Greek mythology the rose was the
symbol Of silence as it was said that
Cupid, the son ofVenus, gave the god Of
silence q golden rose as 4 bribe to con-
ceal the amours Of the goddess of love.
1t was, therefore, sculptured on the
ceilings Of banqueting halls and placed
as a sign above the doors Of question
able resorts. Guests at feasts were
crowned with roses to intimate that
their conversations while in their cups
were not to be repeated elsewhere.
The phrase obtained currency in
Greece after Pausanias, the admiral Of
the Greek fleet, plotted with NerXes to
betray the cause of the Greeks by sur
rendering the ships, the negotiations
being conducted in a small banQueting
hall, the roof Of which was, as usual,
covered with sculptured roses. The
plot, however, was discovered and or
ders given for the arrest Of the traitor.
Pausanias endeavored to make his ref
uge in q temple which possessed the
right Of asylum. Unwilling to violate
the sanctity Of the place by forcibly
removing him and still more unwilling
to allow him to escape, his fellow citi-
Zens walled up every entrance and,
by one account, left him to die Of star
yation; by another. killed him by un-
roofing the building and throwing
down the tiles on his head.

Money In Soiled Linen.

"It is astonishing how careless peo-
pie are about sending clothes to laun-
dry without first searching them for
money and jewelry." said the manager
Of laundry the other day. "fester-
day q woman sent bundle Of dresses
here, and in the pocket Of one was
$3.50 In bills. We never search cloth
ing for valuables. The dresses were
put in the washing machine, soap and
water put in, and after the machine
had been running half al hour 1t was
opened, and the man in charge was as
tonished to see paper money floating
around on the water. The bills had IN
some manner worked out of the pocket
Of the dress, and. strange to say, not
one Of them was torn. We ran the
money through the drying machine
and then ironed each bill carefully.
After we got through you could not
have told that the money had been il q.
laundry washing machine for half an
hour. We sent for the woman, and
when she came to the laundry she had
not yet missed her money.
Not long ago man sent some shirts
to our laundry from the bosom Of one
Of which he forgot to remove d:a-
mond stud worth $50. Our people did
not see the diamond, and we did not
find it until he called US up and made
known his loss. Then put my men to
searching, and we found the diamond

Greasiac the Wheels.

4 Russian paper gives an interesting
insight into the way they do things on
the Siberian railway
4 merchant recently sent carload
Of fruit from Irkutsk TO Chita. The
railway charges were ITO rubles, but
the tips to railway officials amounted
to 120 rubles more.
Tipping, or ''greasing," as it Is called
in Siberia, is q tax from which no pa
tron Of the railway is exempt.
In the case mentioned the first sta
tion master told the merchant that the
loaded car was sick" or disabled,
and would have to be side tracked for
repairs.
How long will it take to make the
repairsw the merchant asked.
"Oh, week at least" was the an
swer.
The merchant started, for weeks
delay meant the spelling Of his cargo,
and, besides, it was ordered for imme-
date delivery But when the fruit
dealer had slipped 10 or Is rublcs into
the officials hSd the latter found that
the car was we'll enough to travel
At the next station the car fell Ill
again and had to Oe restored to health
in the same Slanncr, and this process
was repeated every time the train
stopped.
Local merchants have become used
to this "greasing" business and simply
add the amount to the price Of their
wares, so that the consumer pays the
freight and the tips as well.
