with Italy in 1888 In 1862 Theodore,
first civilized Shcmitic king OF the
country, became enragcd because per
sonal letters addressed to Queen Vic
toria and Emperor Napoleon were not
personally answered, arresting all
English and French including minis
ters OF those two empires. Two years
later peace treaties were made, to
he broken by war in 1867 in which
Theodore suffered defeat and killed
himself in the presence of the Eng

nes /. Menelik, king OF Shoa, went
70 the aid of the Italians, and became
emperor of all Ethiopia in 1889, after
thrice aiding Italy against the yari-
ous petty monarchs and gaining a
masterful conception of European
military affairs.
The war with Italy that establish
ed the fame of Menelik as soldier
really commenced in 1891, when
Menelik ascertained that Italy claim
ed protectorate authority. Three
armies were sent from Italy that iln
der General Baratein, 10000 strong
being annhilated in 1896. Menelik
finally destroyed the Italian armies
and his successes fired the italian
populace, ministries falling one aftel
another until finally peace was sueo
for. the established authority of Meme
lik being admitted, even Great Britain
establishing new treaties, forevei
withdrawing her claim to stop tht
progress of the Blue Nile Throughout

plre were placed on a safe basis. lht

The fight for the capital is on Ii
is matter of genuine regret, not
only on the part of Guthrie, but hum
dreds OF towns friendly to Guthrie
that the governor saw fit to issue a
calling a special cleo
ton, June II, to vote the initiated
capital location proposition,
That the governor to all outward
seeming, acted SO precipitately on this
occasions intense surprise.
Even the most ardent Hogtown adher.
ents, with all their cocksure sanguine
feelings, were not prepared for such
summary action. Inasmuch as the
prohibition initiated petition had been
passed up to the supreme court for
final probing as to clarity of legal
points, real or imagined or otherwise,
the feeling prevailed that the capital
question, more enyironed and enmesh-
ed with legal technicalities, insofar as
Il touched on the enabling act, would
be permitted to take the same course.
The executive eontended, however,
that the two initiated questions We're
not parallel; indeed, that the analag-
GUS status of the two propositions
ended with the mere petitions to initi-
ate, one bearing $4,000 names, the
other $1,000. With or without Justice
to the executive. ii may be fair to
presume that the ubiquitous knocker
piled his trade In the hearing of the
executive, Monday evening, giving
voice to the fear that Guthrie would
rush To the courts TO restrain him
from signing the proclamation = And
vet such dire contingency were Tar
fetched, since an injunction can ne
either before or after the acf, and II
the contention Of Guihrie be wrong
the Injunction would certainly be dls'
solved.

Referring once again 70 tho goyor
nor's preciptate action in calling the
election. The Leader believes the
governor was actuated by 40 sinister
motives. He doubtless studied the
questions presented aud performed
the dnty, entrusted TO him by the
constitution, according to his lights
az what best subseryed the broad in
teresls OF the state And while his
dislike for the temporary capital Is
to be regretted, it can have no bear
ing on the final results We OF
Guthrie who have our all in Guthrie,
are inclined to be prcjudiced in
Guthric's favor but God smilc the
man who will not stand Up for his
home Town. IN a measure the gov
ern0r has some valid ground for per
sonal dislike Of Guthrie By the person
al actions Of certain citizens two or
three years ago, and by the constant
personal abuse Of the Republican
daily paper here. Bul The property
owners OF Guthrie should not be held
accountable for tff~e acts OF a few
self appointed political social and in
dustrial leaders. All the people Of
Guthrie are not interested In politics
and society. Some of them are not
pirates Some OF them actually like
to eat and sleep peacefully make
garden and pay their taxes and praise
The Lord. Some even thige on
baseball, without a thought Of polit-
ical fomcnt criticism, calumny and

for a three-round bout with Joe
Choynski. doubt giving way to
enthusiasm over not only his

that he had succeeded.
