A souARE DEAL AND
NO SIDE TRICKS.

NO SIDE TRICKS.
There seems TO be a persistent ef-
fort on the part OF the morning paper
at Oklahoma City, which lately sue
ceeded in driving that city into the
Republican column. to divert the at
tention Of it's readers from the pro-
posed combined pull for single state
hood and raise instead a lot of side
issues and among them the old capital
fight between Guthrie and Oklahoma
City.
Happily. it has few or no followers
in this even in Oklahoma City. But
there are always people who find some
side issue to kick about and raise dis
sention just when the long steady pun
for some great enterprise is consuming
all the energy Of the people.
II is not the capital question that the
people Of Oklahoma are anxious about.
il is statehood and they have'the right
to demand that first and all local
squabbles afterward. They may give
Oklahoma City's troubles the proper
attention after the main question is
settled and statehood attained
Guthrieis the temporary capital, the
people Of the territory are satisfied
with it and satisfied that it should re-
main so until the new state govern
ment can be put in running order and
they can not be expected to have
much patience with town-boosters. who
wish to maintain inflated values by
trying TO inject side issues into the
statehood bill and other delay tactics.
Judging from the success attending its
efforts IN the local election down
there, it might be good thing for
Guthrie to have some opposition from
this source.
There is no mistaking the attitude
of the whole people Of Oklahoma on
this subject and their temper is such
that they will visit vengeance on sell
fish OF local interests that stand up
and howl and attempt to create diver
sicns and dissenuons. which can have
but one effect on the paramount issue

EXT rAe eele THREE

The people of this city were and are
in favor of a new deal and a square
deal. They said so at the polls They
spoke by an overwhelming majority.
They were tired OF politics interpreted
by the old gang and they said so They
wanted mayor, city council and
school board that would look after the
best interest Of the city and they said
that too
Failing 20 realize this, the morning
crgan keeps up the same old political
howl trying in vain to undo what it
had so strong a hand in doing There
is no doubt that it had kick coming
and the indications we're, when the
votes were counted that the people
had carefully and scientifically admin
istered it according to the Japanese
rules of jiu iitsu 1t should be good
now and do as it promised next day
after election, help Mayor Duke and
the city com I'll and the county COM
missioners and scnool board, what lit
tie it can. to boost the city A little
arnioa and court plaster would per
haps help it's sore spots. but really it
ought TO quit blubbering now.
OF course everyone knows the atti-
tude of Dr. Duke and the Leader to-
ward the colored man, for it has al
ways been expressed sincerely openly
and above board. There is no political
thunder in this TO make and none that
can be stolen. It is quite likely true
that a number Of the colored property
owners and taxpayers were tired of
the old gang and its gratis and disre-
gagded its political whip and voted
for Dr. Duke. They were independent
and had a perfect right to do so, if
they saw. as did a great majority of
the white voters, that it was to the
best interest Of the city TO do so. Per
haps "the big three" and others of
"the boys" are sore about it. but the
only remedy now would seem to be
back to arnica and court plaster"
cThe simple lfe7 might prove
hygienic.
The old gangs lash fell lightly on
the colored schools for as soon as the
matter came before the Democratic
board Of county commissioners Chair
man Burke and the other members at
once ordered the schools re-opened and
the cash was provided to finish the
term This was only simple justice
TO the colored children who under the
law governing colored schools must
be accorded as good treatment as is
accorded white children. That the pop
Of the old political whip was without
its accustomed power, may have been
due to the reduced condition of "the
big three" and others.
A decent respect for the opinions Of
mankind should induce these political
eorpses 20 lie still or if they must walk
abroad and air their grievances not to
attempt to use big whips or throw
stones.
The voters Of this city have said
that they wanted a city government for
economy and substantial progress and
they mean to have it regardless Of
old gangs or party politics. It's the
big twenty thousand that is running
things now and "the big three, though
somewhat disfgured, may stay In the
ring or perhaps more properly wrap
themselves in the habiliments Of the
deceased. At any rate It is all one TO
