OKLAHOMA PROPERTY.

No citizen of the new state can
afford to hamper the progressive
movement which has added millions
to the wealth Of property in the last
twelve months-no man OF sound
business judgment but recognizes we
are enjoying a greater prosperity than
has been granted to other states in
any degree related by boundary or
near boundary II is not for the
average person to declaim how or
whence that great measure OF pros
perity came. but rather to keep roll
ing on the movement to make a great
and rich commonwealth. Il is OPP
portunity, broad aud easily observed
that enables us as a state to enjoy to
tne fullest measure the blessings civ.

The added millions to our bank

property and the wonderful increase
in farm values. make Oklahoma

just as long as we are considerate Of
what has been our handspring OF sue
cess and keep faithfully hold OF those
elements which create and retain
wealth.
All the cities OF the state are
growing and they are improving ac-
cordingly. Great institutions are be-
ing prepared for the commercial har
vest. mile after mile of paving is be-
ing made and the smaller towns and
villages find inspiration in the cities
OF the state in the way of civic im-
proyement and advancement

obstacle in the way of this condition
It means that Okl,tov4a rs 90 sur

Oklahoma has startled the world In
progressive ways prior 70 this. and
her growth and improvement when
hundreds of thousands Of skilled and
unskilled men in the eastern states
were without employment. and even
Wall street was sending out walls
about business depression and future
restoration. teaches the lesson the
west and southwest are no more de-
pendent on that branch of the country
than upon the consumers of foreign
nations
Il needs no commercial giant nor
fnancier of extraordinary ability to
foretell the wonderful growth of this
state. It requires no old resident nor
the aid of any savant to look down
the lane toward futurity and see that
wonderful appreciation In values must
come to almost every town and city
of Oklahoma-to also tell that Okla

STANDS on BIS RIGHTS.

Senator Smith is standing on
his dignity with regard TO the
Florence post office appointment.
The custom has been for Sena-
tor to be consulted about the Post
Master in his home town, but the
appointment of Mr.. kuker was a
recess appointment to succeed J.
E. Wilson, colored. Mr.. huker
is young gentleman Of ability,
born in Florence, and is not OBJ
jectionable to the people of Flor
ence, at the same time, Senator
Smith has a preference, and was
not consulted by the appointing
power. which has been the Gus
tom 10 the past, but to the custom
has been that the Senator's have
always controlled their local post
Office; such being the case Senator
Smith is opposed TO the confirm
alton of Mr.. kuker.
We hope the junior Senator will
not complicate matters by object
ing to the confirmation. This is a
Republican administration, and
when a white appointments made
especially after a colored man has
held the Office so long, it may not
be good policy to stand out for
custom. unless the appointee is
personally objectionable. How
ever Senator Smith is a citizen
OF Florence and on the ground at
Washington. hence he is the best
Judge of what to do IN the prem,

BUSINESS MEN NEEDED.

The coming session Of the leg
islasure viii be called upon by
the doctors for appropriations to
help stamp out certain diseases
and the comptroller general will
ask for legislation to stamp out
the system Of tax lodging that
IS prevalent in the State. Both
demands have merit, but as this
time we think some way should
be devised to cut down to tenden-
cy OF levying high taxes. There
is something radically wrong
with our fiscal system, what it is
and where the remedy can be
found we confess our inability to
say, but there should be retrench-
ment somewhere. The people
have a right to complain. and
they are surely complaining.
Instead Of our next primary be-
ing filed with issues that amount
to nothing more than electing
some good talker to Office, busi-
ness men should be found and put
in charge Of our fiscal affairs, the
same as large business concerns
do when their holdings are not
giving the right results. The
people csanot expect to have low
er taxation as leng as they con-
tinue increasing their demands.
nor can there be a reduction as
long as "Jolly Good Fellows, -
who have no business training
are elected to positions involving
the financial affairs Of the State.

The Law TO BE TESTED.

It is evident that statute prohl-
biting the soliciting or receiving
of orders for liquor in this State
will be tested. At Laurens not
long ago a liquor drummer was
arrested for soliciting orders and
the matter is pending, and at
Greenwood last Thursday anoth-
er drummer was arrested and his
trunk Of samples was seized by
the sheriff. The outcome Of these
cases vii! oe watched with inter
est all over the State. At the
last session Of the general assem-
bly, the writer introduced a bill
in the senate providing for q IL
cense in each county for the So
Letting Of orders for liquor, but
this bill was amended so as to
prohibit the soliciting altogether,
making it misdemeanor under
a heavy penalty. The bill intro
6uced by the writer was drawn IN
accordance with a decision OF the
United States supreme court,
and II it had passed the license
would have been practically pro-
hibit,ve and would have stood the
test Of the courts; the ultra Pro-
hibitiouists however, regarded it
,o,+~or %o tho ,,r;pcir,3es of rorO.
