TOO RANK TO PASS
UNCHALI ENCEP

Here Is a proposition too rank to
go unchallenged. OF course, where a
newspaper gets so rank and so
viciously partisan that it is willing
to go any length to deceive its pat
rons, the proposition becomes largely
one between the patrons and the
newspaper
But when those statements are di-
rected towards the defense of such
an outrageous piece of partisan trick.
cry as McGuire's gerrymander of the
congressional districts, it is time to
call a halt and expose the deception
In an editorial entitled "Apportion.
ment OF congressional districts wRs
a fair deal to all" the State Capital,
the Ananias of Oklahoma Journal
Ism, has this to say:
The Democrats continre to send
'orth the false charge chat Delegate
MCGUIRE carved out for himself a dis
trict regardless, with 224,00O inhab.
itants while the 4th and 5th districts
have 100000 and 315,0O0
"Of course like many other Wild
charges made, this is not true. and
the true condition has been recited in
these columns before.
According to the United States
census of 1900, the 1st district had
188,725 inhabitants; the Attn district
as near as could be estimated from
the different recording districts in
the Choctaw nation, 174,311; and 5th,
los, ,542
The combined population OF the
ith and 5th districts, according to the
census Of 1900 was 329,353, the only
way to arrive at the population ex-
cept by estimate, being less than
10000 for each district"
The census of 1900l Indeed! Yes.
indeed. the census of 1900!
The 5th district contains Kiowa and
Comanehe counties which in 1900 had
not yet been opened for settlement.
Those reservations in the South
west were not opened until 1901. In
1900 the coyote, the cowman and the
long horn steer held undisputed
sway, The other counties of that
district such as Roger Mills, -,Vashita,
Greer and the western part OF the
Chickasaw nation, in 1890 contained
only bare fraction of their present
population.
And yet these figures are perpe-
trated by those whose precious, pat
riotic souls are lashed into fury by
the awful disfranchisement of that
outrageous Democratic gerrymander.
This is enough; the reader can
draw his own conclusions.

EACH RAILROAD A
SEPARATE CASE.


There is no crow to pick with rail
roads, as such. but only with the way
they have been treated by the stock
jobbers and the forced attempt to
make railroads pay dividends on
watered stock by levying excessive
freight and passenger rates.
If railroads were only required to
pay reasonable dividends on their ac.
tual value the sense of justice of the
American people would prompt them
to pay them without any complaint
whatever The american people are
at heart lovers of justice and the
square deal They differ only from
the people of some other nations in
this, that II they are not given a
square deal they are disposed to take
one. Briefly, this is the railroad
case.
OF course. in eondemning these
practices the generic term railroads
is used, perhaps sometimes through
failure to discriminate, but more
largely because these abuses have be
come so common in railroad manage
ment that 1t is easier to state the ex
ceptions than 1t is to specify the
guilty parties.
Then. too. Il is no easy matter &c

A SUMMER loYL.

I'd like to lay, these sweltering DAYS,
Among some shady hooks,
And breathe cool air, and sing some
lays,
Anent the babbling brooks,
And watch the heecy, soaring clouds
Assume fantastic forms.
And idly dream Of chilling shrouds
And winters frosting storms.
And then agan, in icy cave
With polar bears I'd struggle,
In ice cold waves my head I'd lave
And with the snow balls juggle.
Or on the sea, ia Peary be
And roam the frozen waters
And search for poles, or something
cold"
Gee-whizl my reason totters.
Down deep within some chilly glen.
Or under ground ice grotto,
With frozen games I'd sport and
then
Il seems to me ought to
Get some sJrcease from frying grease
And horrid. blistering weather
And chigger bites might also cease,
With other things together
But what's the use, with all this ruse
To shiver | can not,
I'm sizzling like a cooking goose
Great Scott its hot! its hotl
With no apologies | am fervently
