Editor Leader: A distinguished

ing the ripening OF an apple He call
ed attention to the fact that If the
rlpening process was left TO itself 1t

calls rotten"
This Is a somewhat lame illustra-
tion OF the process by which the afflic-
tion OF Guthrie and Logan county that
has its core in certain so-called news
paper institution at the corner OF Sec
ond and Harrison has developed, but
there Is no uncertainty about the cor
rectness of the word used to describe
the condition of over-development.
Guthrie and Logan county are suffer
ing today from a severe attack OF an
overdevelopment Of Frank Greer and
the sorry specimen of journalistic
fruit that he offers to the market in
season and out of season. II was a
sad day for Guthrie when no inflicted
himself upon the community and that
day has led to many sad one since.
No man questions the value to a
community Of a newspaper that sees
wrong and seeks To correct II. Just
criticism Is worth much to a city,
county or state, and has saved many
a good official from becoming bad
ere. But the TRADE of incessant abuse
that Greer has heaped upon Demo
cratic officials, day after day, week
after week, and month after month,
and that he now Is heaping upon
Democratic officials whose election Is
assured but not recorded, has turned
the stomachs of the public in Okla

payers In Logan county Is certalnl,
glad that the Guthrie Capital has
taken up the court house as an issue
Of course, III touching upon this sub
iect the Capital, as usual, deals in
falsehoods and II Is for the purpose OF
exploding these very patent falsehoods
that these letters are herewith given.
The contract for the court house was
let and the plans were made upon the
very basis as contained IN the letters
above mentioned The letters and
the court house speak for themselves.
NO hardship was entalled upon the
taxpayers Of the county, which has
to day the most substantial court
building Of any cqqrtyl in Ythe state,
paying therefor less money than any
other county Is not this proud
record for the Democratic board?
AS Is stated In some Of the letters
above, particularly that oi VI. Norris,
1t was to be expected that the county
board should be condemned, but no
charge Of extravaganza will stick on
this court house matter The CAPITAL
says nothing whatever about the rev.
enues saved to the county. Nor does
II say one word as to the plight
Guthrie would have been In had not
the new court house been erected and
placed at the disposal OF the state.
The possession Of this court house at
the dawn of statehood saved the capi-
tai at that time to Guthrie, for no
where then in this city was there
adequate room to house the state Of
ficials. Every step taken by the
Democratic county board In the
building Of this court house was
square and above board. There Is not
one sane taxpayer In Logan county
who Will kick at the investment made.
and II seems strange that In this late
day, after a modern edifice for court
purposes has been erected for the
county at cost 20 per cent lower than
that paid by any other county, should
be used as an issue IN the county cam.
paign In attacking the county board
on this court house proposition the
Capital has as usual put It's foot into
1t. The taxpayers know OF the invest.
ment they possess and they will not
be fooled by lies and claptrap to
save from defeat an incompetent Re.
publican county board.

Nothing to Be Ashamed OF.
There was nothing In the court

If there is anything that the present
board should be ashamed Of II was in

The taxpayers of the county, are,

years, 100000 represented the cost OF
building and $3O,0OOOO the interest for
the ten years. as the debt would be
paid In ten years the interest being
6 per cent for approximately half that
time would amount tor $50 10000.
swank Figured; Mcclure on Job.
At the time the contract was being
arranged Mr. Swank, tho Republican
member of the board, figured on the
building and stated ii he could make
any money he would resign from the
board and make a bid for the contract.
The least he could build II for was
$lg9 10000 SO he stated, and the State
Capital will not say tnat Mr.. Swank
is not a good contractor and able to
figure. The files of the Capital speak
glowingly of Swank 4s.
+. II. Mcclure, at that time county
attorney, had complete charge of the
legal part of the contract. No one
will accuse him of being either fool
or criminal and the State Capital
knows he Is Republican.

The State Capital points with pride"
to the sterling and rugged honesty,
to the integrity and high morals of It's
party's gubernatorial candidate and
would hold UP its hands in horror
should any tax payer of the county
be so sensational as to state other

were requested to be at the meeting
