Guthrie, Okla. Sept. 10.-If the

ly settled soon Governor Haskell may
call out the militia to compel the Off
GERS of the new county of Swanson to
move the county records and property
from Snyder back to Mountain Park,
from whence they were taken under
cover of darkness a few days ago A
delegation of Snyder citizens, headed
by A. Z. Moss, came TO Guthrie last
night and held a conference with Act
ing Attorney General spillman for the
purpose of defending the action of
the county commissioners in designat-
ing Snyder as the county seat.
The Snyder people take the position
that section 141S of Wilson statutes
authorizes the action they have taken.
That section, however, merely pro-
vides that if adequate quarters are not
furnished the county officers at the
county seat, the county commissioners
may designate some other place with
in the county as. to headquarters OF
the county government.
Governor Haskell sent telegram tc
Attorney General West, in Colorado
where he is spending his vacation
stating that the county commissioners
of Swanson county removed the rec
ords and county offices from Mountain
Park to Snyder and designated the
latter piece as the county seat, where
as he (the governor) designated in his
proclamation, creating the new county
Mountain Park as the temporary seal
Of government. The telegram states
that riot is threatened and asks the
attorney general to wire him at once
what action he should take. Attorney
General Vests reply was:

as the county seat, remains such unit

the only county officer of the new
county who refused to move to Sny-
der. He says he will regain the rec
ords and move them back by force, if
need be.

that the difficulty can be settled peace
fully.
Governor Haskell complied with the
law requiring him to desig late the
temporary county seat OF Swanson

lamation declaring the county formed,
but did so in an unusual manner He
had two numbers placed in hat and
let the rival towns draw for the lucky

der now declares that this did not
legally settle the temporary question.

Mr.. DENLY arrived Thursday morning
and that Mr.. Olmstead would arrive

Senator Root can reach Chicago Mon

WHAT ARE WE HERE FORT
BY EDWIN A. NYE.


Are we here merely to wear clothes
and eat and work and sleep betimes,
merely to be enumerated in the census,
pay our taxes and vote the party tick
ct. to buy and sell, to suffer and to
laugh, to find and fail. to fume and
funk, to live and die?
Is that all?
We go about as If it were a feat to
make a decent living, pay our debts.
give dollar for charity and keep out
of the penitentiary. But
Is that all? e
True, we must live without stealing,
and we must live somewhat as others
do. We must sweat and dicker and
put money in our purse. We must do
and be done. The grocer and baker
and candlestick maker must have their
due.
But that is not ALL We are here be-
cause others are here. We all came in
obedience to the same law. If others
were not here we would not be here.
We are nll in the same boat. sailing in
the same direction. Being fellow voy
ayers. what happens to one affects us
all.
Now, manifestly the power that put
US here intended we should live and
die together. Destiny has put the
same towline about us all. And, wheth-
| er we mutiny or whether we go hand
| In hand, we go. We must lower our
| fellows to the grave, and they in turn
must hold the grave straps for our cof-

other. We are here to help our fel-
lows and to be helped by them. We

| To live to yourself and to die to your
self would give no meaning to life.
No. We are here to help and be

| We must minister to them. Some fall

Some yearn for sympathy. We must

wipe their tears away. Some laugh.
and we must laugh with them Some
die. and we must bury them.
And here we find the reward and the
solution Of our problem We discover
In our service for others the signifi-
canoe of life. Purposes appear. The
