lhere Is really no capital agitation
at this time The defeat of the New
Jerusalem and the Bryan resolution
to change the capital or vote on same.
as The Leader had predicted. shows
plainly that Guthrie is in a command
ing position at this moment. and. #
we are fair to the state and by so
doing be fair with ourselves. we shall
always maintain that position. The
average man is fair. He realizes there
Is not so much in being the capital OF
a state in great wealth-producinp
empire, but to move the capital means
that a city would suffer uniustly BY
loss of prestige, whilst the one receiy-
ing the capital would gain no great
additional strength. This is fact Tho
Leader bears in mind, and because
Of that The Leader has always and
shall always insist that Guthrie shall
be fair to all other cities of the state;
that Guthrie should and will respond

good of the state The capital war

statesmen who fail TO hear the hum Of
the buzz saw Guthrie deserves nc
more consideration at the hands of the
people than any other city, but she
does deserve that her institutions and
prosperity be considered; that no 9th.
er city has the right to bother or in.
terfere with these fixed institutions
Guthrie also knows there is no doubt
that the average voter will view this
In the same light. and for that reason
the mere keeping of the facts before

A Telephone Kick.

The Kirk Telephone Company Of
louisville, Miss, writes the Railroad
Commission that the Cumberland Tel
ephone company refuses to furnish
physical connection at that point, and
asks for a ruling from the commits
sion on the subject. The Louisville
company is evidently laboring under
the impression that the England phys
icaI connection bill passed at the
recent legislative session, instead OF
defeated. Chairman Lee has advis-
ed the company that the commission
has no jurisdiction in the matter.

Mayor Glennan of Gulfport at a

ordinance, passed about two weeks

much contention for the past three

been made in the budget for meet

the ordinance.

Truth and
Quality

appeal to the Well-Informed in every
walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir Of SIENNA is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any debilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug
pists
