As 70 GROWTH.

Oklahoma has grown rapidly; adj
vance census figures show that be-
yond doubt. Our cities have increased
in population. largely because many
Of our rural communities have been
peopIed and improved and our pro
ducing power has been mo-e than
trebled. Strange as it may seem. our
manufacturing increase has been much
less than any other industry With
the cheapest fuel in the west and with
Tremendous area pf tFade territory,
al Of the time increasing IN capacity
to consume the finished product, still
we are far from where we should be
in the matter Of caring for the fin
ished products Of commerce, says the
Guthrie Leader
Is It possible that in our rapid
growth and because we have prosper
ed by reason Of such abilities to mas
ter the science Of producing the raw
materials, we have been negligent OF
duties as to the placing OF factories?
The balance Of trade is In our ia
yof, 1t is true, but the millions we
expend to others for manufactured
products does not indicate we have at
tanned that degree OF commercial fore
sight necessary TO make US assume our
rightful place. We have the fuel
abundant and cheap; we produce raw
materials; we have billions Of dollars
worth OF mineral materials; we have
the marble. the sillicas, the kaolin, the
gyp, the salt-we have so much, may
we not be trifle improyident? May
1t not be that our wealth makes us

sources?
Certainly we have not done as we'll

line, and It Is equally true we should
make haste to amend the wrong. II

THE "eRANDrArHER" CLAUSE.


The ablest statement that we have
yet seen concerning the new election
Law is one recently isued from the Of.
flee OF the state Democratic executive
committee by Chairman Fred r. Bran
sen. Such a statement IS timely, both
because Of the lateness OF the laws
Introduction and because the Republi-
can press Of the state Is purposely
confusing the minds OF the voters. 1t
has been intimated In some cases and
openly asserted In other cases that
the avowed purpose Of the law Is to
dlsfranchise all negroes, ali Indians,
and al illiterate white citizens. It
has been charged also that the law
Is directed at the Oklahoma farmer.
IN reply to all these charges OF mis-
Representations (for none Of them are
true) Mr.. Branson has Issued his mas
teriy statement which ought 70 finally

really Is. From his statement We

suffrage right Of single white citi-
zen.
The proposed law viii not aft IT
the suffrage right Of a single intelli-
gent negro.
The proposed law viii disfranchise
every iIIiterate negro in Oklahoma.
As 10 the assertion that the pro
posed law IS directed at the farmer,
the least that we can say is that the
charge Is no compliment to the men
who till the soil. on its very face
1t Is bold affirmation that our coun-
nv people are the most ignorant class
o. our citizens. AS we have observed
the law is a blow at illiteracy. and
how can 1t affect the farmer more
than it affects any Cther class unless
the farmer IS the most ignorant Of
Oklahomans? The charge. II it had
any foundation In fact (which it has
no.) would gtili be sn insult 10 the
agricultural people Of the state. But
We have already seen that the only
class Of people that the law can pissi-
bly, affect is the illiterate negro.
Therefore, the charge that the law Il
blow at the farmer is either the
srawn Of an excited imagination or
The product Of those "who loyeth and
maketh lie."

USES OF THE CAPITAL LETTER
Eastern Journal Would Have All Re-
s%trictions Removed and Employ
It Literally.

1t does seem a pity that the use
of capitals should be so restricted,
laments the New York Sun. They
are things eminently fitted to be
governed by emotion, not theory.
They seem made to be used at will
IN order to express ones personal
valuation of the thing written. SO
often a capital would give the very
flourish one needs, the emphasis
that in speaking one has so many
ways of giving. It should be a
pretty compliment to pay a word or
person one liked. There are some
guests that one would never spell
with a small &, and to start a favor
lite adjective off without the assist
ance of the capital is wofullv empty
handed. Simple, natural people do
% capitals with charming individ-
uality. 1t lends variety and spirit
to their letters and conventional. lit
crate folk do ill to mock and scof.
An illiterate letter generally has an
appearance of great honesty and I'M
seriousness. The small is. how
humble, how sweetly unobtrusiye is
the person who writes. and every
capital stands as a mark of respect
or earnestness. 1t is no doubt the
wav it was intended to be in the be-
ginning, and let us hope it is the
way it will be again.

EARTHQUAKES IN COSTA RIGA
Mountainous Country Honeycombed
With Volcanoes, Of Which Many
Are Alive.

Costa Rica has been subject to
earthquakes for many Years, and the
Carriage disaster has had parallels
in that republic said NJ. Solmon,
who spends about half the year in
Costa Rica and is well acquainted
with the country.
part of the republic is exceeding
" mountainous. and in this part OF
the country there are more than a
score of volcanoes, some Of them
dead, but a few that break out
periodically. There are three or four
that have been active for more than
a century. Some of these are near
San Jose, the capital, which is stu
ated within II miles of Carriage.
Costa Ricans have always believed
hal earthquakes. which the coun-
try has experienced ever since It
was first settled BY Spanish adven-
turers, were caused by the volcanoes.
There is good ground for this be-
lief. because it has been noticed
that earthquakes of more or less in
tensitv followed the activity OF
these volcanoes. If the volcanic
eruptions we're violent the earth
.quakes were cerrespondingly severe"
