son. If the other fellow consents TO
fight Johnson the negro will get two
big fights instead of one and can win
back the championship. If Johnson is
denied a fight he will be recognized as
the virtual champion and will draw in
any battle he may enter If he whips
Jeffries, fans will know then that no
other man can touch him, few being
willing to try, and there will not be
many more big fights for Johnson.

picnic reports that he has employed the
Springer band of 20 pieces and the
Tishomingo band of about the same
number of pieces. Most probably the

Some writer's also sumbit the opinion
that another profitable reason for the
defeat of Johnson, from his standpoint,
will be the fact that, even should JEFF

then hand over his title to some white

by j. A. Purviance Abernathy, re-
Gently divorced in which Purviarcc

that Abernathy has sold the farm

uNIuSTIARlE RATES.

The new freight tariffs promul-
gated by the railroads traversing
Oklahoma, threaten to paralyze the
industries of this state.

conscienceless corporations that un-
iustifiably inflict these penalties on
the people for having exercised tneif

This paper favored the repeal M

II would improve conditions relative
to the construction of new roads,
but it is not in sympathy with the
railroads in any of their retributive

The federal courts really holds the

1t is no wonder that public senti-

A WRONG THEORY.

The action of congress in assum-
ing the responsibility Of passing up
on the constitutions that Arizona
and New Mexico are to adopt, before
the new states can become sovereign
powers, is a new departure and one
that Is fraught with much evil.
1t certainly should be the priv
ilege of the new commonwealths
TO place in their constitutions such
provisions as they please, so long
as they comply with the provisions
of the constitution of the United
States, without being subjected to
the censorship of a partisan con-
gress. It looks too much like a gift
with a string to it, the string to be
pulled at any time desirable by the
politicians who compose the ma
pority party in congress.
The constitution of the United
States does not contemplate any
such restrictions in the admission of
new states and it is an innovation
that Is absolutely contrary to the
spirit of that document.

DEMOCRATS, BE CAREFUL

The withdrawal of Hon. j. b. \.
Robertson IRON the race for governor
OF Oklahoma puts a new phase on the
situation. 1 hat the race, when the en-
llies are announced, Will be made up
OF Hon. Lee Cruce, a thoroughbred,

of the withdrawal OF Mr.. Robertson,
VIII agree. OF course, Mr.. Ross, the
whiskey mems candidate is not to be
considered. He is outclassed at every
stage and in Kentucky horse parlance,
is mere selling platter.
But we are not much OF believer

cause OF their residence; the question

We, therefore, do not advocate the
nomination or election OF any man be-
cause OF his residence, past or present,

from the wllds ot the mountains, Will

VINO will accept the nomination anu
whose election is most nearly assured.
When influence We have shall be
thrown toward the nomination of that
man when the lists are made up.
But it is indubitably true that iamil-
iarity with conditions in different sec
lions OF the state aid to make man
better qualified for any office, and a
man familiar with the conditions in
Oklahoma, as is Mr.. Cruce, ought to
have, as he has, a most comprehensive
view OF the needs of the state.
There is no man in our acquaintance
who would give Oklahoma better
business administration than would
Lee Cruce. He is able, vigorous, hon
est. and has proven his business and
executive ability both by his public
aud private affairs. He has grown
steadily since he has come to Okla
homa, grown in experience and breadth
of view and in his political standards.
What Oklahoma needs at present is
business administration, directed as
lar as the governor has power to direct
it by a sane, conservative, iair-minded,
progressive man. 1t is but thirty days
before the nomination will be made,
and only four months before the elec-
ton. Unless the democrats make most
grieVous mistakes, We have the finest
prospects of Withholding republican
ruinous rule and electing a democratic
governor and a democratic legislature
that will be in accord with the views
held by such man, and thus put
Oklahoma's footsteps on the path that
leads TO greater prosperity and higher
success than she has heretofore
known.
Mr.. Lee Cruce would make such
governor. The people of the state
must nominate such a man, and when
nominated must elect him, or Oklaho-
ma will again feel the oppression ex-
perienced during territorial days.

ton to be submitted to the quail
fled voter of the City,
The above petition to the Board
of Aldermen has been circulated by
a committee of the Commercial
Club and up to date there have
been 208 signers, consisting of the
leading business men and the pro-
gressive citizens of the town.
There is no question but what the
men who understand the present
circumstances know that the time
has come when Monroe City must
make a move in this most import
ant matter. AS to the great need
of a sewerage system, there can be
no argument. We are simply hand
icapped on all sides and it is inn
! possible to maintain the proper SAN
itary conditions necessary to good
health ana responsibility without
sewerage.
Water-works is simply the very
life of any town. 1t is a drawing
card that places you in the line OF
respectable living and affords
means by which the home can be
beautified and kept in proper shape
1t is big advertisement for a town
and about the first question asked
by a home seeker, and is an infali
BILE guide to thrift and substantial
valuation. 1t is impossible at the
present time to outline any plan O
procedure or to say anything def
mite as regards cost as these matters
are yet to be investigated, but tn,
matter will be fully discussed in tn,

The Old Negro Nanny.

We see that the Galveston PEG.
pie who proposed in the first place
to erect a monument to the old COL
ored nanny have been prevailed
upon to transfer the location to
Washington, making it a national
affair and inviting all parts of the
country to contribute. 1t is a
good and pleasant opportunity in
our opinion, and we should like to
see the whole nation take part in
it. Stored urns and sacred edifiCes
have been placed in all parts of our
land, dedicated to memories good,
bad and Indifferent and to achieve
ments noble, benefiCent or other
wise. We see heroes, some of them
too cheap to quote, careering on
stationary but foaming horses, and
mark the attitude of sCulptured pa
triots and statesmen, most of whom
are planted in our private panthe-
ons and immortalized in grateful
memory But we encounter also
the effigies of mud-stained public
lists and futile warriors and queS-
tionable benefactors. Nothing more
or less could be expected. We let
it 90 at that, All of us, however,
can unite upon the old black nam
my, the millions who have enjoyed
her kindly ministrations and the
other and more numerous millions
who have only heard of them
