SUBSCRIPTION RATES,
A Word 70 the Wise

ltis a lamentable fact that
the republican party will re-
ject the constitution, or ac-
cept i'm accordance with the
intimation given it by Presi-
dent Roosevelt whose word
will determine the much
mooted question whether
Mr.. Roosevelt is the nigh
priest, or is the president "of
the whole people, as he has
SO often asserted. The party
OF Asp and OF Mcclure will
vote for the constitution or
against it with the same
complacency of conscience;
it will defeat, ii it can, state
hood which the people OF
oklahoma have fought for
these many years, or it will
fight for the constitution, if
the president, will out say
the word.
Does this mean that Presi-
dent Roosevelt is wiser than
each and every republican in
Oklahoma, including the
virtuous (?) Henry Asp?
1t is evident that the re-
publican party does not
love Oklahoma, as it should,
for it would not stake state
hood on the question of
party supremacy, or upon
the beck and nod of the
chief executive.
This party is now in the
throes of a distressing un-

ated, and are but automa.
tons to vote as their leaders
dictate.
How strange a situation
for their party when the re-
publican conscience must be
guarded by one man!
How strange a conscience
tits which can vote for or
against n constitution with
the same complacency, with
the same enthusiasm and
the same patriotism!
How servile the rank and
file of the party must be il

for the party and vote it as
they please!
Surely the party OF Lin
coin, which has fallen in
these evil days, has at least
a small membership, which
call their souls their own,
and vote on questions as
they think proper and right.
Republican, Do you care
more for the triumph of your
party and for your party's
advantage, than you care
for your country?
is the conscience of your
party under arrest at the

many fads this season, but none
of them so prone Ito foppishness
as the decoration of pumps with
embroidery and precious stones.
1t almost seems as if we are to
have a return of the cavalier
dandies. Blue and gray dress
suits are reported, but fast as
London has gone in this direction
it cannot compare with the Wash
ington innovation, which al
ready has become so popular
that the embroidered pumps Of
the men find their duplicate in
embroidered spats of the women.
The embroidered pump made its
entrance at a dance the other
night in the Austro- Hungarian
embassy. One exceeding gallant
and, 1t may be added. gracious
officer, resplendent in gold lace,
dotted his embroidery with smok-
ed pearls, and still another was
frank in the adornment of seed
pearls. Botn exhibits almost
made the observer sniff for deli
cate scents. The embroidered
spat finds no objection for women
because We expect such things of
the fair sex. Nine Amaral, wife
of the secretary to the Brazilian
embassy, was the first to delight
the feminine half of Washington
with a pair. That was two weeks
ago. Now she has a pair 10
match each of her afternoon
gowns.
We, in Oklahoma, very
much interested Just now in
the proposition OF becoming
a state, with side-issues in
the shape OF green bugs, city
lighting plants and other
concerns are likely to forget
matters of vital Importance,
such as these. 1t must be a
relief to our anxious OKLA
homans, then, whose days
are crowded with the siren
uous tasks of making a viii
derness into civilization, to
turn loose their labors at
the end of the day knowing
that these necessary matters
are receiving attention; that
they are being looked after

with sedulous care and a
highly commendable anX-
iety. We always did think
the male human was not
ornate enough in this Grass,
commercialistic age. He does
not look at himself in the
light OF a work of art, where
the hogs must be planted in
season and the bell-cord
yanked over the buff-cochin
mule with energy and earn
est eXhortation. But they
are wearing embroidered
spats in Washington and in

certainty as to whether 1T
should not ratify n cOnstitu-
tion made by a democratic
convention, and yet the
rank and file of the party
know in their souls that the
rights of the people are safe
guarded, and infinitely more
so than in the instrument
prepared by Henry Asp, a
leader OF their party, and a
hired servant OF the corpora

TROLLEY CARS COMING

The trolley car is becoming a comnam

states and will in the near future be.
come just about as common in the vest
It is possible at this time to make long
Journeys Of hundreds Of miles by con
Meeting trolley trains at a very nominal
cost and at q speed which approximates
the steam cars on the regular roads.
For short distances between small cities
and towns that is now the favorite
method Of travel On some Of these
lines there are regular freight trains
particularly for the carrying Of milk,
Gutter and other farm produce to mark

st. Thomas Business Mems Associa-
ton is getting up on its hind legs and
taking notice. That's all right, every
town in the county ought to be up and
doing-and perhaps it would then be a
good idea to get in some united work
through these organizations for the
benefit of the whole county. There are
thousands of acres of land in this coun-
ty without residents, that ought to be
settled up. In most cases the owners
would be glad to sell to actual residents
on easy terns-and at figures that
would prove just as good investments in
the future as they were to the original
homesteaders i'm the past. Weeds have
settled the question of profits in big
farming, and We have to get down to
more condensed efforts on smaller farms.

County Commissioners
SCHOOL DISTRICTS

Il
The county commissioners have been
keeping 'topen house, to visitors this
week. Tuesday was set for the hearing
l!of the division of school districts near
Tyner and Backoo. The first petition
aonsidered was to Set off half mile
from District No. NJ and annex it to
Backoo district No. 81. The object as
stated by the Backoo petition was to
give Mr.. Seymour, who lives on the
edge Of No.7, and is a long distance
from the school house in his district an
opportunity to join Backoo where the
school house is nearer. Something like
26 Of the voters ofsDistrict had signed
this petition allowing the cutoff. Then
Mr.. John McGurran got busy with re-
monstrance and succeeded in getting all
but fiye Of these signers to demonstrate
and ask that their names be taken from
the petition. Under the circumstances
the county board thought that the Pc
tition was insufficient in number Of
|ssigners and therefore denied it.
Then came 4 petition signed BY about
seventeen Of the voters Of Tyner dis
|tript No. e 70 set i half mile Of that
district to tho Backoo district. IN this
[case there was no written remonstrance
but Camp hell and Sutherland
