The big show at Miller brothers
ranch at Bliss. Oklahoma. has come
and gone. What Of the blood and
thunder that so agitated the whole ma
ton from Maine to California? OF
blood there was none. Of thunder It
was confined to the natural variety Of
which there was much in evidence the
evening preceding. accompanied by a
downpour Of rain.
tn vast crowd was orderly and well
behaved. Those who looked for ruf.
fanism were disappointed Whatever
may be the view Of wild west enter
tainments in general. it must be ac-
knowledgd that this particular one diff
fered from them mainly in the inn
mensity Of the thing rather than the
character Il was simply FIVE or tel
Wild west shows all in one. The order
~ conduct which prevailed throughout
the whole affair is attributable not to
any repressive aorcq, but the real
spirit OF self control that pervaded the
vast assembly The fact is really a
high compliment to the general char
ac'er Of the people.
That the entertainment could not
have been held on some other day than
Sunday is to be regretted. There was
no compulsion. however on anyone to
attend VINO found it contrary to their
code Of morals. Some Of the editors
did not attend but stopped on at
Guthrie as the train went through in
the morning and spent a quiet sunday
at church, taking the train on its
return 10 Guthrie in the evening. They
we're pleased with what they saw Of
the churches Of the city and gratiiied
to. k,iew Of oklahoma's advancement
along that line
One dignihsd old gentleman from the
East, who stayed over at Guthrie said
that he did not favor Sunday entertain
ments at home and believed in living
up to ones standards when away from
home. but he added Il did want to
see those Indians 50 much.
The editors that were here were too
sensible not to see and understand per
fectly the true status Of the big enter
tainment They saw and know that
i stands on a par with entertainments

garden, New York. save and except
thet II was larger and was on the open
prairie, instead Of under a roof or in
ble tent, and that the actors we're
real Indians and cowboys.
The bad advertising that oklahoma
may get as a consequence Of the bis
show viii not come from the editors
who saw Il and also saw the territory
but may come from the sensational
scribblers who are ever searching for
backgrounds upon which to set THAR
flaming red colors and who cater tc
a class Of people who must have blood
and thunder literature and consume
the yellow and red product Of theii
overhdated imagination. Those are
the people wko may hnd occasion to
do oklahoma some damage by their
stories.

Report Declares That Disregard For the
Sabbath Is Increasing.
Fort Worth, May 23.-The general
assembly of the Southern Presbyterian
church opened Monday morning by
devotional services led by DR.. J. NJ.
Holiday of Manning, S. c.
The committee on Sunday observ-
ance made report on facts submitted
by fifty-two out of eighty-two presby
teries, showing that disregard for the
Sabbath day is growing; that Sunday
travel and traffic are on the increase;
that freight trains run with accustomed
regularity and Sunday newspapers
continue as usual. Reference was made
in the report that SO long as railroads
insist on not giving consideration to
Sunday observance they may expect
disastrous wrecks. The committee re-
commended that conference be held
looking to remedying this question.
The matter Of selecting secretaries
by the executive committee for terms
of three years provoked much discus
sion. AS it Is now they are elected by
the general assembly. The matter was
docketed to come up later.
The judicial committee recommended
the appointment of a commission to try
the cases of M. D. Thurmond VS.. the

WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT.

What the people want-and generally
when they want thing they get it, even
if it does take long time-is a COM
pulsory primary law for the nomination
of party candidates for all public Of
fees, the primary to be held under the
supervision of the State; and the cleo
ton officers to- be amenable to the
courts of the State. And inthis law a
specific provision for the election of the
assessor, parish superintendent of pub
lie education, parish school boards and
the various public officials who are now
elective by the popular vote.
Let the Democratic party give to
Louisiana a democratic government
Let every public official be accountable
to the people for his official conduct.
If the joint committee can accomplish
this, then their work will have been
well done.-fhe Winfield Comrade.
What the people want, and what the
Governor may want, and what the COM
mittee will want, are three distinct
propositions, but, seriously, if the COM
mittee will discharge its duty faithfully
and fearlessly, with equal fairness and
justice to all, the committee can and
will give the people what they want and
it will then devolve on the Legislature
to ratify and the Governor to approve
what the people want.

Livestock Drowned, Hay Destroyed, Po-
tatoes Ruined and Other Damage.
Denison, May 23.-Unprecedented
rains have been falling throughout
this section. Thousands of acres of
farming lands have been submerged
and enormous damage done to crops.
Every stream of Importance has over
flowed. A great many bridges have
been washed away. Hundreds of head
of cattle, hogs and sheep have perish
ed in the food. Vast quantities Of
hay have been destroyed, and potatoes
and other crops are ruined. Splendid
farming lands along the Choctaw are
completely under water. Cotton and
corn crops are damaged SO per cent.
Mr.. James Kemp, who has resided in
this section forty years, says that the
rainfall is the heaviest he ever wit
messed. Many families have moved to
high lands to escape the flood. Trav
cling men report they never saw so
much water. North Texas reports from
Red River valley and Chickasaw ma
ton are that crops are damaged. Red
river has just started on a big boom
with h.avy rains in the Panhandle.
The general damage will amount to at
least 100000.
