COO COUNCIL PARAMOUNT.

The mayor Of city can not do It
all He must have warm harmonious
s,pport from the council During
the first few weeks of Mayor Dukes
administration he was al times hands
capped by the trickery and sharp
practice of the Republican members
of the council. The council, or a ma
iority thereof should be of the same
faith as the mayor. Thus all will
work to the city's good A council
out OF time with the mayor is not
desirable Therefore, IL behooves the
voters OF Guthrie TO elect the Ave
Democratic nominees for council
Four Democrats on the council hold

interests of the municipality. In Jake

Woodson II. Morris. once one of the

faces trial for the second time on the
charge of murder in the first degree.
Two hundred jurors in addition to the
regular panel have been drawn, and
will be on hand to be used in the
selection Of the jury. Some little de-
lay is anticiuated in getting the neces-
sary twelve men who will be eligible
to sit in the case,
The crime for which Morris is to
go on trial is the killing of Fines Cas-

Cured on February %, 1906, when
Woodford p. Cassidy and his son both
fell. shot to death by Morris. The at
torneys for Morris will make the plea
of self defense. 1t was on this plea
and the element of accident in it that
cleared Morris fro mthe charge of
murder for killing the elder Cassidy
at the last term of the Kay county
court.
The killing of Cassidy and his son
attracted much attention throughout
the entire territory. Morris was well
known and the peculiar circumstances
surrounding the killing attracted all
of the male citizens Of Kay county
who could set away to attend the last
trial. On account of the interest TAX

The Capital very suddenly rushes
to the defense of Boles and Barnes.
A few years ago the Capital was low
ingly referring to Barnes and Boles
as the "Arkansaw runts," In the is
sue OF the Capital of May %. 1900, we
find this: Barnes is a parasite. He

Examination of the city treasurer's
books shows that the interest on city
bonds have been paid. The 1921 in
terest in February was paid promptly
on time and the money has been set
aside for the next interest rayment in
May. During Barnes administration,
the city was forced TO borrow money
to pay the interest on municipal
bonds. After providing for all inter
est payments the city has money in
all funas and all called warrants are
paid promptly on presentation. The
local banks pay all warrants at par.
Two years ago ten men in Guthrie
made big money by shaving warrants.
There is not warrant buyer in the
city now.

Advertiser In 1901 a plant allied TO
the squash and pumpkin was taken TO
New York from the desert Of Sonora.
In Mexico. and since then 1t has been
kept-without watering-in a strange
climate $500 miles from home. Dur
ing the six weeks Of rain in the des-
ert the plant grows its leaves and
flowers and perfects it's seed. Then
II dries up and leaves only water
filed gourd. which thick, hard shell
seals against animals and evaporation.
The transplanted specimen still re-
members the rainy season OF six
weeks. II wakes. sends out rostlets.
stems and leaves. and then dries up
