Harsh voices can be- easily changed
to, agreeable ones. OF late years much
has been said and written concerning
the harshness Of the American speak
ing voice, special CRITICS mfalling on
the voices Of women and children.
More than half the singing voice is
used in speech, and the misuse of the
voice in speech is accountable for
many Of the difficulties in singing.
When schools begin, Systematically,
to train ehi1dren's speaking voices
there wifi be vast Improvement in
the music. This training can be given
SO easily and quickly that no extra
time has to be allowed for it.
The quality Of tone used by parents
often has a decided effect upon chill
dren. and there is hardly another in
fiuence SO strong in the school room
as the kind Of tone used and demand
ed or allowed, by the teacher.

"Ex-President Harrison and party
came out of the Yellowstone Park last
Friday evening and returned east that
evening. The ex-President was seen
by Post man, and in response to an
inquiry as to the political situation,
gave it as his opinion that the Repub-

this fall, but admitted that Bryan
would receive a heavier vote in the

thought that the chances of the great

said that it would not surprise him
should the state go Democratic this

THE ex-President did not think
that the Repu blican party had pur-
sued the rightful course with regard
to the trust question, and thought the
administration was playing fast and
loose with the people on the matter.
He regards the administration, how
ever, as having been a wise one for
the most part, but admits that several
grievous mistakes have been made in
handling the reins of the govern.

CHANGE OF JUDGE

The Smith-Speed Injunction Matter Is
Continued.
The Hila Smith Horace Speed in
junction case came up before Judge
Burford this morning on charge Of
contempt of court against Hila Smith.
Her attorney made application for a
change of venue and Judge Burford
granted the request. The assignment
was not announced. Hila Smith is
cited to appear and answer to charge
of contempt of court for violating an
injunction granted some months ago
against the erection of high fence
between Horace Speeds property and
her own. She erected long shed in
stead, which is claimed to be in viola
tion of the injunction.

BhoOKs A LOGICAL CANDIDATE

There are various phases TO the prop
osition to name third man for ma.
tional committeeman at the Democra-
tic convention in Oklahoma City on
July 81, Perhaps it is the best way to
settle mooted proposition, but since
the national committee has already
decided the point at issue. showing
conclusively that J. r. Jacobs was
legally and regularly elected commit
teeman by the territorial convention
at Ell Reno, June 5, we can hardly see
the justice of forcing Jacobs out of an
Office he has honestly and Justly won.
Yet, since it is imperative that the
files be closed up, factional strife al
layed and unity prevail in the coming
campaign, perhaps the naming of a
new committeeman, in the event of
Jacobs Withdrawal, would clear the
atmosphere and give fresh vigor to
the reform spirit. Thus far, but one
man has been named as logical can.
didate for national committeeman, as
sequence of unity, and that man is
Caleb R. Brooks, of Guthrie. Judge
Brooks is one of the strongest Demo
Gratis in the territory. He is the en-
bodiment of honor and integrity and
he possesses the aplomb, dignity,
keen discernment and judgment nec-
essary to discharge the duties of com
mitteeman. He was a member of Jo-
seph Wisby's delegation TO the El Re
no convention, but he did not bolt, and
he served as United States district at
torney under Cleveland, but he had
no more to do with Cleveland's policy
than did ex-vice president Stevenson,
who was elected with Cleveland and
who is now the ce-presidential NOM
inee with the peerless Bryan. If a
new committeeman is to be named at
Oklahoma City, Judge Brooks unques-
tlonably posse sses all the attributes
necessary for filling the position.

MALCONTENTS.

The Ell Reno Democrat gives unnec-
essary weight to the fulminations of
malcontents, 1t pays it's respects in
vitriohc language to Mrjimjohnson,
and his body guard, Jowisby, who
forced into the Ell Reno bolt by John
son, went to Kansas City in hopes of
having the action of the boilers en-
dorsed by the national committee
The Democrat says:
Joe Wisby and Jim Johnson made
the statement to the committee ap-
pointed to investigate and pass upon
the claims of the boilers that the
Guthrie LEADER, the Enid Wave and
FL Reno democrat did not reflect the
sentiments of the Democratic party as
regards the boilers. We do not know
whether the LEADER and the Wave
will pay any furthur attention to this
lying fling from these two misfits or
not, but If we are not mistaken in the
management of the Democrat, it will
undertake to demonstrate to a math-
ematical nicety for the benefit of
these two gentlemen. Just how much
influence IL wields anent chronic
boilers in local politics.

MUST UNITE ON DEMOCRATEO
PLGTFORM.

There must be N faltering on the
part OF the reform forces of Oklaho-
ma. The Kansas City convention
sounded the tocsin, and all voters OPP
posed to the Mckinley policy must
fall into line. In order TO give moral
support to national doctrines, the Dem
ocrats, Populists and free silver Re-
publicans of Oklahoma must unite un-
der the Democratic banner of reform,
not only in county matters, but in
legislative and congressional affairs.
The Democratic platform embraces
the reform principles advocated by
the parties of reform arrayed against
McKinleyism and the reform advocate
who shall fail to support Bryan ON the
Democratic platform OF 1900 will not
be able TO justify themselves at the
bar Of conscience. They will allow
lingering prejudice to make them
recreant to principle. They will
place a personal question above the
good of their country. The issue Of
this campaign is too solemn in it's
bearing upon the future of the Repub-
lie to be treated from such a stand
point The malign shadow of Empire
darkens the sky above this great free
government.
