Editor Daily Leader noticed Ia
a recent issue OF the State Capital the
assertion that the per cent Of negro
population in Oklahoma City and Guth.
rie was each s4k hundredths. The
contention may be, and probably is.
correct. But there is one feature Of
this proposition that the Capital writer
overlooked, and that is the fact that
the police regulations or the two
cities are vastly differen'. In Okla
homa City the negro bum, and white
bum as far as that goes, is not given
the privilege of the streets, and II he
has no occupation, or visible means
Of support. the city authorities give
him employment--on the streets. In
Guthrie these conditions reverse them
selveB-She negro is always in evi-
dence. This is the reason people.
strangers particularly, think the per
cent Of negroes is so much greater
than IL really Is. Besides this, the
people of Oklahoma City and Oklaho-
ma county do not elect negroes to Of
fee. Nor do they have them on the
police force There are white mea
and white women in the county court
