There is a feeling Of confidence
throughout the state that Governor
Cruce will be able to take care of the
capital removal matter in an orderly,
decent and regular way when he takes
his seat on January 1st. The people
of Oklahoma at the proper time and
i'm the proper way should be able to
determine the location of the state
capital without friction. There is Ger,
tainly no occasion for the state to be
torn and riled all the time. Let us have
peace.

1t is said that the proceedings taken
here by Miss Kate Barnard and DR..
Stolper in the Brown guardianship
case are the beginning of crusade by
the state department of charities
against the frauds by which guardians
are robbing Indian orphans. If it be
tru that there are hundreds of chill
dren in the orphans homes who are be-
ing cared for by the state while guar
dams waste their estates by exorbit-
ant charges, it is time that something
was done, and Kate Barnard is the
person who can dot it, if anybody can.
The people of Oklahoma showed their
good sense when they renominated
and reelected her.

The matter of locating the state cap
ital is not urgent enough to justify the
calling a special session of the legis-
lature within a month of the regular
conviening of that body. II the SUI
preme court decision means anything
it means the matter is where it was
before June II. The election locat-
ing the capital at Oklahoma City has
been declared void, that is to say no
election has been held.
The weekly chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Craig County, Okla.) 1905-1913, 1910-11-25

We are not SO much concerned as
to where the capital of Oklahoma shall
be, as we are that the legislature shall
preserve its self respect and conserve
the respect of the people. There is
only one way it seems to us, in which
this can be done Meet next Monday,
and adjourn. Leave the capital ques-
tion to be settled in cooler blood, under
a new administration, in which it is to
be hoped that the governor will not
try to be the whole show
The weekly chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Craig County, Okla.) 1905-1913, 1910-11-25

The claim made by Governor Has
kell and some of the Oklahoma cities
that the location of the capital has
been settled by vote of the people
is stating what the supreme court has
said was not true. The court declared
the election void, yet the governor
goes on the hypothesis that the peo-
pie voted on it and that the supreme
court don't know what it is talking
about.

The Chieftain stands for the en-
foreement of law and now that the
people of Oklahoma have voted for
prohibition will Insist on the enforce

who know the editor of the Chieftain
know 1t.

England is facing another political
crisis" and the conservatives are max
ing a desperate effort to coin sympa-
thy and votes by solemn warnings
against the danger of republicanism.
But don't let's laugh at the poor old
Tories. The terrible calamity they
predict may be distant, but it is sure
on the way. In some unaccountable
way the English working people have
been wakened to ask whether kings
and lords are really worth all they
cost. "Saventee thoozun pund a year
for one widda," is the way Ker Hardie,
the great English labor leader refers
to the provision parliament has made
for ex-Queen Alexandra. Three hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars! And
we hire a president for $4,000. AS a
business proposition president has
royal family beaten to a fragile.

Dr. Lyman Albeit. the editor of the
Outlook, claims to toe republican,
but we have our doubts. At any rate,
he was preaching good democratic
doctrine when he said recently at
Yale: "The fundamental basis of this
new nation is seIf-goyernment. We do
not believe that, the wise men, or the
strong men, or even the good men,
should govern ethe race. We believe
that men should be developed to gov
ern themselves" Wonder how the
Contributing Editor liked that?

We hope that in the press of other
matters. the Commercial Club will not
forget to take up. at it's meeting to-
night the question of Vinita's attitude
in the coming capital fight and that our
representatives will be instructed to
work for an adjournment of the spe-
cial session without any action on the
main question. The calling of the spe-
cial session is an insult to the state
officials who have just been elected
by the people. Governor Haskell evil
IDENTIFY knows that he can't boss Lee
Cruce, and therefore is determined to
push the capital location through be-
fore his own term expires. There is
really only one question involved in
this special session. That question is,
does Haskell own the Oklahoma legis-
lature? He thought he had the SUI
preme court in his pocket, but found
he was mistaken Now if the legfs-
lature will meet and adjourn, and
leave the main question to be settled
under Lee Cruce, our militant COVER
nor will have a chance to step out of
office in some such chastened mood as
Roosevelt is enjoying these days, and
both Haskell and Oklahoma will be
immensely benefited thereby.
