To the Editor,

To the Editor,
Dear Sir: One of the near neigh
bors of Louisiana, 1t would be remark
able indeed, if the young and progress
sive state of Oklahoma should fail to
realize her opportunity in the holding
of big worlds fair at New Orleans.
Many valuable citizens Of this brand
new state whose progressive people
have blazed the Way 90 important re-
forms in politics and in social prob
lens, have gone to Oklahoma from
Louisiana; hence tAere is kinship
existing between tfte two states which
makes it natural Cor the older state TO
rely upon the support of her younger
sister when ignpsrtant concerns are at
stake.
New Orleans is now making an eff
fort to secure congressional recogni-
|tion in the fight she is making for
the exposition to celebrate the com
pletiOn of tine Panama canal. All the
logic of the situation is in her favor;
she is 1000 miles nearer the center
of population than San Francisco is;
she is the gateway leading to the val
ley that will furnish the greatest
amount OF American commerce that
will pass through the canal; she has
a tri-weekly steamship service to the
Isthmus, the voyage requiring but four
and half days, while San Francisco's
steamship service makes the voyage
one way in twenty-one days; she is an
average instance of more than 1900
miles nearer to all the cities of the
United States than San Francisco is
AN of which means that the American
Ipeople can attend an exposition at New
Orleans while it would be out of the
luuestion for them to do so were it held
at San Francisco.
If an exposition be desirable at all it
must follow that it should be located
where the people can attend it, other
wise no matter how much money
might be spent on the enterprise it
would be doomed to failure This
means that the Panama exposition
should be held at New Orleans.
Located here n would afford Miss
Oklahoma the opportunity to be in
troduced TO the society of the world
and to show the miracles that may be

GOVERNOR TAKING HIS OWN
TIME TO SIGN BILL

Oklahoma City, Okla, Dec. 27.-It
is uncertain that, according to report,
the state offices will be removed from
Guthrie during the holidays. A story
sprang up here to the effect that Gov
ernor Haskell intended to sign the cap
ital bill a one minute before u o'clock
Saturday night, so that work could be
begun on removal of the offices from
Guthrie, and also to defeat any move
that might be made as to injunction
proceedings. This the governor dis
credited when the report was mention
ed to him, and followed by saying that
the capital bill would not be signed for
two or three days yet.
The governor is waiting for all the
details incident to the pledges on the
part of Oklahoma City to be closed
up. Deeds must be transferred and
signatures of people not living in the
city are to be secured, and when this
is all done, the governor says he. fully
intends signing the bill
AS to what action the supreme court
might take in the matter of an applica,
ton restraining the removal of the
offices from Guthrie is to be seen.
Chief Justice Dunn has been in con-
ference with Governor Haskell here
frequently within the last few days,
and it is given on good authority that
he, Governor Haskell, and Governor
Elect Cruce agreed on the proposition
of the state erecting a new building at
a cost of 100000 to be placed beside
theh high school building. used last
summer for state offices. This will be
used in addition to the high school
building for the Offices when they are
removed.
It is agreed that when the state is

After Eleven Years of Successful Busi.
ness life Here Sam Frazee Has
Sold AGI His Property.

WNhin the next two weeks Vinita
will lose one of her most prominent
business men and town 'boosters-Sam
r. Frazee, whose term as manager of
the International Bank & Trust com
pany win expire on January 1, next.
Mr.. Frazee with his family will go to
Riverside, Cal, to make their perman-
ent home.
The last vestige of property in this
city, owned by Mr. Frazee has been
sold. About month ago he sold his
bank stock and converted all but his
residence property into cash. Yester-
day he sold his residence to a David
Haage, a wealthy land owner of south
|ern Kansas. He will give possession
In two weeks. Thus Vinita will get
another good family to recompense for
the loss of Mr.. Frazee and amily.
While the new family will find a warm
welcome in VHiita it is with much
regret that the city loses Mr.. Frazee
and family.
MIR. Frazee came to this city from
northern Missouri eleven years ago,
and engaged in the hardware and
furniture business For years he was
manager of the 'Frazee Hardware &
Furniture company, which later be-
came the Frazee Hardware company
and still later the Frazee- -Hosmer
Hardware company. Then Mr. Frazee
sold his interests in the hardware bus
mess to the Sunny-Pat Hardware com
pany, and became manager of the In
ternational Bank & Trust company
which position he has filled for the last
eighteen months with much credit to
himself and the bank.
Mr. Frazee has always had a long
ing for the sunny cline of California
and the change in his business affairs
has made it possible for him to realize
his hopes. In all of his ventures in
Vinita, Mr.. Frazee has been more
than successful and his friends pre-
dict the same success in his new field.

share of the blame for the failure He
spoke strongly against the idea of
merely preserving the church as an
institution, saying that if the church
people would get the spirit of Christ
in their hearts, and labor with might
and main to make the church of real
service to the community, church fin
ances would cease to worry them.
Christmas solos were rendered by

THE LION AND THE MOUSE.

By far the finest piece of work which
the McRae company has done since the
opening of It's engagement here is The
Lion and the Mouse which was given
its initial Honolulu presentation last
night The play tells a story Of com
polling heart interest and the east could
not have been more happily arranged.
Louis Morrison and Laura Hudson
Morrison acted the part Of John Burk-
EFT Ryder with cOnsummate skill. and
again demonstrated himself to be a
master of his art. Morrison has the
presence, the voice and the tempera-
ment for parts on this order, and it is
difficult to imagine anyone giving a
better performance than that which he
gave last night. In fact, it was almost
as though the part had been written
for him. 4 less temperamental player
would have marred the humanity of
the word picture which the dramatist
has drawn but in Morrison : perform
anc" there was not a jarring note.
Laura Hudson, in 1.-The Lion and the
| Mouse gives far aud away the finest
| performance of her Honolulu engag1-
| ment. In light comedy parts she has
already demonstrated her ability, her
beauty and personality have already
| won for her a host Of admirers, but
! last night she showed d dramatic file
| which one would not suspect from
watching her work in other parts.
The third act exit IS one which holds
| the audience spellbound. When she de-
| nounceS the overboaring. oppressive
money baron, Miss Hudson, as Shirley
! Rossmore, does a bit Of work which
| places her in class with stars Gradu-
t ally she works up the scene. increasing
| the tenslty until it seems that an anti
| climax must result, but she knows her
| powers. and i is not until she fling
! her final taunt at the cowed captain OF
! finance that She reaches the full scope
| OF her dramatic power.
Miss Louise MeroSe does some fine
work as Mrs. Ryder; Edith Elliott is
! charming IN the n2enue role. while
Charles Royal gets many well de-
served laugh as The Hon. Fitzrov Bag
