CRIMINAL INTENT NOT FOUND.
That NO evidence Of tampering with
the supports Of the ]. L. Burns granite
plant at NorthheId, which collapsed Sat.
urday morning, was found IN the careful
investigation carried On during the clear
ing Of the debris is good news. The re-
port that spite work might have been
brought to play in the accident was Of
doubtful reliability in the first place,
and az the details OF the accident were
unfolded became more difficult Of belief
IL the instincts Of any person were 50
malicious as to aim at The destruction 81
the granite plant solely, some other
means than that Of saving Oh support
ing timbers and waiting FOR the EARRING
Of the machinery ta finish the work
would have been tried, for ii was well
known that such course would have
been attended with great danger to the
workmen, who would, in the natural
course Of events, have been inside the
building when the collapse came, But,
happily, it has been proven 70 the gen
eral satisfaction that there was no mach.
nation in the affair, and the collapse
was due to other causes, which perhaps
viii be set Alright in the public mind,
50 that The possibility Of the recurrence
Of the accident may be avoided In any
event, what The Times had to say satur-

While Lee Cruce was in Washing
ton spending his own money in an
effort to get statehood for Okla
homa, statehood on equal terms for
both territories, Joe MCNeal was
figh ing any sort of statehood eX-
cept that which gave oklahoma ter
ritory con rol of the entire situation
and which would add Indian terri
'ory picCemeal after all the state
institutions had been located in Ok
lahoma terri ory. In other words,
McNeal thought we ought to be
taxed without being represented. He
said at LaNton that We were only
Indians and outlaws anyhow, and
therefore, according to his opinion
we had no righs which he ought
to respect
This is the same Joe McNeal who
now asks us for our votes.

of ignorance into the light of knowl-
edge? If Mr. Carter was droppend
from the committee on Indian Affairs
on account of his inali.ity and inca
paci,y," why doesn't the editor or the
Statesman produce some proof Of the
correctness of his assertion? Posi-
bly, he is laboring under the halluci-
nation of uncontrol able delusion tina
he is possessed of such overrower'ng
influence that a mere assertion by
HIM, however absurd and unsuppor,-
ed by facts, will convince ali who read
it that it is undeniably true. If this
Is the nature of the disease with
which this beneficent gentleman IS
afflicted, we would most resp c,fully
suggest to him that he shut down MT
thought factory for few months and
he may bathe his fevered brow in the
cooling and refreshing mountain
streams. contemplate the manic d
and ineffable beauties of nature, and
finally Re brought to a realization OF
the fact that he is an inf.ni,eslmal
part of the world that has thus far re-
Trained from swallowing him up on
account of his misdeeds.
Nessrs Carter and Campbell are
bo.h honored and respectable citizens
of our town and each is a candidate
for congress. One a loyal democrat
and the other is a loyal republican.
The Statesman has a right TO support
Mr. Campbell, but We deprecate the
manner in which the editor chooses to
90 it. Eoth candidates being home
men and the Statesman a home paper
that asks the support of all people be
they democrats or rcpub" It
would seem that a different poli'y
would be for the interest of all CON

limited supply OF gall" to expect any
business or other favors from any Of
the friends OF Congressman Ca"cr.

else, and you can depend upon it
that under Governor Cruce state
taxes Will be re uced to the lowest

necessary. The state levy is now a
very small fraction Of the tax We

such a strong believer in low taxes
he might use his influence with

This congress will be attended by

people in giving really serious ;horsi

PEOPLE'S.FORUn
Asks Fair Treatment to All Citizens
Of the Press.

OF the Press.
In all ages of the world there have
been men possessed with such mean.
despicab,e dispositions, with such mar
row and selfish Views of life. that the
little spark of generosity born in their
bosoms Is soon extingulshed and they
can see nothing good or commenda-
Bile In the man who refuses to be con-
trolled by spirit similar to theirs.
This seems to lie especially true IN the
political world, and there are those
who think that because a man Is
candidate for office they have a right
to attack him in any manner, how
ever, blameless the man may be. OF
course II oftentimes has no effect one
way or another except to turn a blaz-
ng searchlight upon the little parsi,
monious soul of the caluminator thus
enabling the public to see how utterly
devoid he Is of a spirit of fairness,
lOSlNN anu JhoAlNN' ne pl dNll Z
of beli,tling and uniustly crit 'cising
candidates for office that some news
paper men indulge in and then attemTt
to Justify their unwarranted assaults
by saying that It's just politics, is
indefensible and inexcusable, and fair
minded men have no patience with
such miserab,y mean tactics. We al
ways take pleasure in according to ev-
cry man the right to any opinion that
he may desire to hold, but on mon has a
right to publicly express A wron opinion
based on weak and insufficient
grounds, and especially is this true
when such an opinion IS calculated 10
iniure the reputation of faithful anu
eff cient public servant.
We have been reading the Ardmora
Statesman during the last few weeks
and every issue of that paper CON
tains a great many references to Con
gresham c. d. Carter that are mani
festly unfair. The following state
uent was on the front page OF the
Statesman of Saturday, Oct %, 1910:
The people, down here. do not know
Just what goes on in Washington; but
We want TO say to the people of the
Fourth district, that II they will in,
vestigate the matter they WI find
that Mr.. Carter was dropped from the
Indian Committee because OF his IN
ability and incapacity."
Now. the average man would infer
from that statement that the eG:tor
of the Statesman, or the man who was
paid TO write the article. regards tho
people as being utterly ignorant con-
cerniny the happenings in Washing
ton, but that he. the edi or of the
Ardmore Statesman. Is abundan'ly
supplied with knowledge OF tho affairs
OF congress. He would have us think
that he has some Information which,
II We only had II too, would produce
in our minds an ineradicah'e conv'c
