Only a few days more and the

is the proper time to turn your
mind circusward.


The modern circus is the linesl
descendent of the ancient Olymp.
ic games of Greece. The Ro-
mans adopted this form OF pop
ular amusement from the Greeks.
The name "oircus" is Latin
meaning a circle; and 1t was
used to indicate the place in each
city where chariot races, athlet-
ic contests. etc., we're held. The
circus flourished in Rome $500
years ago, and for ten centuries
later. With the decadence Of
the mistress of the world came q
decline Of the circus in charac-
ter and it was frequently debas.

Doubtless it was this that gavC

ative church people.
The modern circus has about
it nothing debasing. Mankind

held in the highest esteem.
The military hero stands highest
in the popular roll of fame.
Physical prowess delights the
average man; and in the athlet-
ic exhibitions of the circus, the
racing, the display of consum-
mate horsemanship and 80 on.
which are the leading features of
a circus exhibition, nearly every
one, young or old, takes pleas

within the last half century or
80, the circus in America has
moved 70 a much higher plane
than it ever before occupied
The exhibitions are .Inobjection-
able on the score Of morality ;
the comfort and convenience OF
spectators are carefully conserv.
ed; there is no more fear of meet

a lecture or theatrical perform

Government By
Commission

AS q business proposition,
would it not be far better to place
the government OF the city in the
hands OF commission composed
OF three men, one OF whom shall
be an engineer, who should give
all their time to their duties and
receive good salaries for their
workP Mr., Stelzner, in a con-
versation with the Democrat man
last week, said that he is already
$500 poorer than he would have
been had he been able to give all
his time TO his private business.
Mr.. Scott, his predecessor. came
out OF his two years term loser
by many hundreds Of dollars in
the same way. The job is a
most thankless one, as we'll as
one of the greatest money. losers
in Caddo county.
One Of the pledges that we
hear in the compaigns is that the
nominees will perform their duties
with the same care with which
they attend TO their business.
II stands 10 reason that no man
can successfully serve two mas
ters at the same time; that one Of
the two, il not both, must suffer.
The city could easily afford to
pay the chairman of such a oom-
mission S175 per month and the
other two $3.50 per month, and
save money in the collection Of
all water and light bills and in the
more economical and efficient
working of the city plant.
The city could not make such
an arrangement at the present
time, but it can under the new
constitution. The management
OF a city With a municipal plant
is not political proposition at
all, it is purely business matter.
We believe that our citizens,
deprived from time to time of
water and light, with their in
surance jeopardized, will come
to realize this, end earnestly
hope that the lesson may not be
driven home by such q holocaust
as shall bring ruin to many a
business here. And when we do
realize it, the board Of iree- hold
ers in forming the city's charter,
mentioned in Article IS OF the
new constitution, will be elected
and set to work.

The DEMOCRATIC
OPPORTUNITY
Now for a Forward Movement
All Along The Line

There has never oeen tune IN
the history of the Democratic
party in Oklahoma, when it had
30 entirely and conspicuously |
the advantage on the issues
There is not point in the con-
troversy where the Democratic
party lie not right and where
that bunch OF Federal office
holders and their hangers. on
have not succeeded in putting
the Republican party drsadfully
and lamentable wrong-so much
80 that thousands Of good men,
formerly in the Republican party
are leaving it in disgust.
The Republican party in Okla
homa stands now as party of
obstruction and mudslinging. Its
official organ, the State Capital,
is becoming Infamous in the new
state as the most conscienceless
newspaper circulating through
the mails, fighting desperately
fora graft, the public printing,
with its patriotism measured by its
purse. Its leaders are for the most
part men whose records in public
office will not help the claims they
urge for the suffrages of a dis.
gusted citizenship. Its attitude
is that Of carping, and it has
never done anything in Okla
homa but fight for Federal pie
and vilify those of it's members
who were successful in getting
up to the counter. 1t has no
platform but a criticism of the
party that is for the people, and
doesn't offer anything but in
direction, insincerity, and parti.
stnry.
On the other hand, the people
OF Oklahoma bave spoken
through the Democratic party in
a voice at the sound of which the
ancient gratis have all come
falling about our ears. Their
constitution will give such an
impetus in the new state to the
cause of the people, that all those
predatory corporate interests
that have been exploiting US all
these years will never get organ.
lied again. The Democracy of
Oklahoma and the people OF
Oklahoma are the same in in
terest, and the people are getting
to see this more and more every
day.
Therefore the thing for the
Democratic party to do is to buck
up. Buck up in every county
and precinct. Not to insult the
independent voter or the honest
voter who was formerly led about
by the conspicuous pie. .biters Of
the former times, but to help
their indecision, and to offer them
something to belong to in the
future, And everywhere, the
thing to do for every Democrat
is to be active in politics, to the
end that good and representative
men shall always be chosen for
office, and the party shall con.
tinue in the way it started las
fall.
OF all the campaigns in the
history of Oklahoma, this is the
one in which the Democratic
party isbest off. 1t has splend-
idly fulfilled it's pledges. 1t has
justified the trust placed upon il
last fall. 1t was only to get be-
fore the people on it's merits to
win, and to do this it should
enter upon most vigorous
speaking campaign in every pre-
cinct, and keep it up.

who will be hanged next Friday, was
greeted for the last time by his chill
dren. Hodges will hang almost on the
anniversary of the crime. this being COM
mitted In February 1906. Services We're
held at the Jail this afternoon for his
benefit and Hodges has been converted
during the past few days He has MI
merous calls daily from preachers and
other interested people. Hodges Is anx-
icus for the fatal day, and is cheerful
and willing to die for his crime.
Freeman Jones, the negro who will be
hanged from the scaffold at the same
time. is very sad, but always says he is
ready to die. Jones is convicted of bur-
Elary and attempted criminal assault on
q white woman last fall.
The hanging will be in the Jail. and the
scaffold will be prepared early in TIE
week. There has been hundreds of appii-
cations presented to the sheriff to gain
entrance to the hanging, but there will
be only few present.

With the return Of better mAr.Iet weather

metal price Is constantly going up, and
the prediction Of thirty-tive cents per

cr than is generally surmised. The copper
mines all over the country are operating
under the greatest difficulties in their
history; scarcity OF labor: severe winter
weather: lack of fuel and TRANSPORTATION
facilities.
This has reduced the output. while the
demand Is increasing II these obstacles
of an increased output should not be
overcome soon the world may face real
copper famine. 1t Is true that Of late
quite large number Of new copper min
ing companies have turned UP. but so
far most OF them have produced nothing
but stock certificates, for 1t takes quite
a length OF time to place the most proms-
Ing copper property on a producing basis.
The general impression in the copper

copper production will fall far behind that
