THAT TREAcHERoUs
HARMONY DEAL

"You have three officers just as
good as elected now. said a promin-
.ent Republican to a Democrat TODAY.
The statement was not the revelation
of any new feature OF the county cam
paign, for It has been well understood
.by the knowing ones all along that the
Republicans would have to sacrifice
part OF the county offices in order 10
held the black niggers" in line. The
action of the convention on Friday
was only the carrying out of the
agreed plan of campaign which was
this.
The leaders Of the court house gang
would get out and Jolly the 'niggers'
up for a few days before the conven-
rion. talk harmony and concessions
and leave liberal orders at the saloons
for the ward neelers and make a few
good big donations TO the colored
churches and otherwise take great in
terest in the welfare of the race.
Then offer severl offices. promin-

tice Of peace and constable as sop
10 aTay suspicion. In return for this
the dear colored brother was TO safely
place the court house ring on the
ticket and land the solid colored vote
in the Republican column.
Then came the nypocritical part OF
the agreement The Republican lily
whites were TO vote solid for the col
ored candidates, which was done AZ
the convention. and 10 vote for them
at election
Here is where the Judas lscariot
role comes in and the point where the
ltreacherous lily whites win ply Their
carving kniie at the election" where
the colored candidate and his friends
can not know just who il was stabbed
him.
The game is an old one, having beer
worked on several previous occasions
and some OF the Judas gang are ever
making bold 10 laugh about how w'
worked the Tool niggers again"
The question simply Is win the col

A THREAT RESENTED.

The statement comes out square to
the point from Republican headquart-
ers in Washington, that III Oklahoma
is to be admitted before Indian terri
tory is ready for statehood, she must
demonstrate beyond peradventure
that she is Republican in territorial
and national affairs"
Now the people have the cold
blooded partizan statement from an
authoritative source just as the Lead
er said It would come and exactly in
line with the purpose and design of
the omnibus statehood movement
from its initiation.
Only one week ago today the Leader
said:
The most skeptical are now com
PEELED to admit that the most sacred
right of statehood is being used mere
ly as political club to beat the peo-
pie on the territory into Lne.'
Can anyone fail TO see the fine
Italian hand of Dennis Flynn and the
Republican machine written on every
page Of tho record of this unfortunate
piece of legislation? No comment is
really needed to make plain the whole
game. The one great boon, statehood,
known by all to be the desire o. every
Oklahoman who has at heart the good
OF the territory is chosen as the sword
to suspend over the heads OF the peo-
pie with the alternative of voting for
Republican delegate or losing states
hood"
When the above was printed il was
not then foreseen that they would so
soon show the mailed fist, but it was
penned with a realization that il was
to come just as it did come.
/ No one was fooled and nobody is
scared. oklahomans may be coaxed,
but they can not be driven. This
barefaced threat has cast the die and
no true Democrat viii give one inch
to such paltry partisanship.
Many right minded Republicans are
highly incensed at so high-handed an
attempt at coercion for they realize
nct only is it wrong in principle, but
that it will awaken all the latent fire
In the Democratic ranks and prove an
injury TO the party and the downfall
Of It's promulgators
Oklahoma has had quite enough OF
these brow-beating tactics and will
not any longer stand for il.
Both Republicans and Democrats
stand pledged in their national plat
forms for statehood for Oklahoma and
now the Republican majority in con
gress, by their action and through
thelr representatives, attach to thai
sacred promise Of statehood the pro

And now as though calamity would
never be satiated, the soft coal min
ers are called upon to add calamity
to calamity.
All this loss is total and irreparable
and means so much subtracted from
national prosperity so much deducted
from the welfare and happiness Of the
nation.

organized labor can be devised in the

Hold-up In Old Mexico.

Ell Paso, Texas, July GA
daring hold-up took place on the
Mexican Central at about II 80
o'clock yesterday morning Just
after the train left Bermejillo.
At Bermeiillo three Americans
boarded the train, two secreted
themselves or the blind baggage
and the other entering the third
class coach. AS soon as the train
pulled out, the two riding on the
blind baggage entered the ex-
press car, and covering Messenger
Buckney with their guns, order
ed him to throw up his
hands. The messenger offered
no resistance.
The robbers went through the
safe, securing $4,000 in currency
consigned to the Banco Minero,
at Chihuahua. They also took
what other money packages were
in the safe, and stood quiet until
the train stopped, making a hasty
exit and dropped off the train as
it was slowing up. Alighting,
they disappeared in the darkness
of the night.
About the time the robbers EN-
tered the express car, the conduc-
tor of the train became engaged
in an alteration with a passen-
ger who refused to pay his fare.
Finally, the conductor had the
train stopped and the passenger
elected. The robbers alighted at
the same time. 1t is now be-
lieved the troublesome passenger
was a partner of the robbers, and
his action q ruse to secure the
stoppage of the train.

reer will not end at the altar. In
short, girl must not fill the
whole horizon of his aspiration,
~"
The heroine should not be a
doll and n plaything, setting a
bad example to her girl readers.
She should not allow a stray lock
of her hair to be passionately
kissed, without laughing the os-
culatory donkey to scorn. She
must get rid of her reputation for
talking nonsense and plning to
languish son the broad chest of
her lover" If q woman must APP
pear in a novel, although l see no
absolute necessity for her, let her
be doing her work, nursing the
baby or reading to the little ones.
But, why is she necessity? Is
love the only theme calculated to
move young and old rich and
poor, alike? l doubt it. Can no
man be noble and brave and gen.
e;ous and admirable without be-
ing love sick? To my mind it is
about as reasonable to write a
hook with the hero everlastingly
love hungry, as it would be to
write one with a hobo for the
hero, ever dinner hungry, the
sum of whose happiness was COM
plete when he had attained the
glories of a magnificent banquet
all to himself. Will nothing but
the sensual and ecstatic do for
our novel readers?
You see, the trouble of it is,
that very often mans and wom-
ans intellectual conception of
themselves is derived from the
books they read. Novels are the
mirrors held up to nature, but
like everything else in this trust
ridden, money-grabbing age, the
mirrors are so very badly made as
to produce nothing but dis
torteG presentments. Now, if
the idolatry of sensuousness
is continually pictured, we
may yet die in the belief that we
are all Satyrs and Nanas, where

Dipping Cattle for Ticks.

Wichita Falls, Tex. July 49,
A large number of prominent
cattlemen met at T. B. Jones
Lake Creek cattle ranch last Sat-
urday to witness the dipping of
Jones cattle for the eradication
of ticks. The dipping was under
the supervision of DR.. Victor A.
Norgaard, who was for more than
ten years connected with the
United States Department of
Agriculture as chief of the patho-
logical division of the Bureau of
Animal Industry, and his name
is familiar with every stockman
who has ever used Government
blackleg vaccine. While in the
Government service he devoted
more than four years to the prob
lem of eradicating the Texas
fever tick.
Over 400 head were dipped in
the forenoon in q most satisfac-
tory manner, and the process of
dipping the cattle, which means
the complete immersion of each
animal in a dipping vat thirty
feet long and nine feet deep, was
entirely satisfactory.
During the entire day not a
single accident occurred and all
classes of cattle were rushed
through Unfortunately from
aged cows and bulls to calves
only few days old. DR.. Nor
gard stated that he would con-
tinue to dip Mr.. Jones cattle
until his various pastures in
which the cattle are now grazing
are completely freed from ticks,
when with the sanction and CO.
operation of the Federal and
State authorities o trainload of
these cattle will be shipped to
some point north of the quaran-
tine line and kept under observa-
tion as to their ability to trans
NIT Texas fever. Every precau-
tion will of course be taken to
prevent the possible spread of the
disease.
If these experiments prove to
be a success it will be difficult to
estimate the benefit to the cattle
industry south of the quarantine
line. 1t is considered by many
that the value of Southern cattle
will be enhanced from 50 to S.
per head, when the Northern
cattle markets are thrown open
to them throughout the year.
The cattlemen present were
well pleased with the process of
dipping, and will watch closely
the result of the experiments -
