A WORD TO THE WISE.

To read the local papers nowadays
is to cause one to exclaim, In the
multitude of counselors, who shall
decide?" for the ease by which one
would-be authority plans water sup
ply is only equaled by the facility
with which the scheme is demolished
by the next aspirant to fame, and
now, Mr.. Editor, might woman be
allowed to speak a word on this ques-
ton, for no mere man (unless, indeed
he be 4 laundryman) can appreciate
what inadequate, irregular or insult
able water supply means to the house
wife. to say nothing of the health OF
the household which always vitally
concerns the woman; but interested
as we women are in this question,
there is another that concerns Us
more deeply, and that is the liquor
question. Pooh! that matter was set
tied lonp ago." says one; No posi-
bility of this town going wct,' says
another. while Mr.. Newcomer hastens
to add, mo one in Rocky Ford wants
saloons" Well, may be so-and some
of us who fought the saloon beast
through long years OF marching and
desperate attack, hope he is dead
but we are so familiar with his habit
of playing ''possum" on occasion that
we are anxious to have some one in
authority to watch the supposed
corpse who has no pleasure in its
resurrection. We think it would be
a whole lot safer for the interests OF
the women and children of this town.
And so. while we women arc glad
to turn this vexcd question OF water
su-~fv over to the superior acumcn
and understanding of the masculine
mind. it might be well to whisper in
the ears of our politicians that il
would be well to place the reins OF
government in the hands of men
whose past record shows that they
had the good judgment, the business
acumcn and the moral integrity to
espouse the No-L.iccnse cause in the
years when it took some backbone
to do so. for all these qualities will
be needed in the present crisis in re-
gard to the water question.
But. on the other hand, il men are
placed in nomination whose past re-
cord shows them to have lacked
sense. business Judgment and moral
integrity by their supipeness in the
hour of peril or by their open advo-
cacy of the saloon system: il such
men are placed in nomination. the
slatcmakers need not be surprised If
many of the women are too nervous
to trust the reins of state to such
hands, and may expect to see them
making haste to climb out of the wag-
on. even il it is supposed to be "a
water wagon. w. c. T. U.

Smashing the quarry, shall do so no

A SWINK MEMORIAL


Many men Of more than ordinary abil-
ity become so immersed in their various
financial enterprises that they forget
their less fortunate neighbors, but this
was not so with Geo. W. Swink. To the
contrary he seemed always to go out of
his road to seek to help those sick or in
distress.
To illustrate this trait, he was one day
coming home tired from a hard days
work and while passing an apparently
empty house in the northwest part of
town. he heard groans issuing from the
inside of the building. He dismounted
to investigate and found man. alone,
and destitute, very sick with typhoid fe-
yer. He hurried to the hotel and engag-
ed room and four men with a cot to
carry the sick man to the room. He
then hired nurse and a physician to
take care Of the sick man.
The man was cured and sought Mr..
Swink to thank him, saying he had no
means but he would some day pay him
back. Mr.. Swink dismissed the incident
from his mind with the remark that the
man might some day fad another in dis
tress whom he in turn might assist
Too often bread cast upon the waters
does not return. but in this case the re-
oipient of Mr.. Swink's bounty found the
opportunity and improved it. Several
years afserward when MIR. Swink was a
candidate for state senator and in visit
ing his constituents in the far northeast
corner of his district saw a section gang
at work on the M. P. railroad grade
He dsmounted and climbed the grade
Much to his surprise. the foreman of the
gang. a burly fellow. jumped at and
seized him. and the grade being loose
they rolled together to the botto m. Mr.
Swink sprang to his feet expecting a
desperate struggle with a maniac. but
the other was as quick and with tears in
his eyes and his arms around Mr.. Swink's
neck exclaimed time and again. "don',
you know me?" 1t developed that he
was the typhoid patient Of several years
previous. He secured hall in the near
by village. spread the story Of Mr.. Swipks
benefaetion and the result was an ova-
ton. Better still he needed this section
for his election and he got the unahi-
nous vote,

more railroads, make more towns and
farms and get more people in here
and by so doing create more tax
values. Under our constitution we can
control them, but don't you think it
best to get them here first so that
we will have something to control?
Our town is ambitious. We want
another railroad, but we are too busy
to operate it and too poor to build
it ourselves, though we are willing
to help, and what will be beneficial
to our town will be beneficial to ev-
cry town in the state.
1t is contended that this proposed
amendment will effect the oil and
gas industries of the state. We have
no such concerns in our part of the
state, but my inclination is that there
is sufficient number of pipe lines
to send out the oil we have to the
outside world and the same rule will
apply to the gas industry. We know
it to be fact that oil and gas are
sent out of the state with Section 8,
Article 9, in the constitution, and as
our officers can not accomplish what
they seem to want with this section
in the constitution, can not see that
It would do the state any harm to
allow other parts of the state to de-
velop along different lines. And the
amendment specifically provides that
nothing can be construed to effect
the control Of the corporation commits
sion over all corporations within this
state. cannot see how it can be
made any palmer and | cannot see
how any one could contend that it re-
peals even by implication any other
provision Of the constitution. And to
be fair and lay aside prejudice and a
desire for political preferment on
some matters that seem popular we
will have to at least agree that this
proposed amendment does not effect
any other part of the constitution,
and only gives the relief that a great
many of our citizens believe that we
should have.
The second legislature submitted a
like amendment to the people of the
state and same was voted on at the
last general election and this same
amendment received twenty-seven
thousand majority of. the votes cast
on that subject, but because it was
laden down with other propositions
1t failed. l heard no criticism from
these people at that time upon that
amendment, why this criticism now
on practically like amendment?
l have been a member of the state
senate since statehood and | am not
ashamed Of single vote have
ever cast, nor a single speech have
ever made in that body. And | had
the honor at one time of saying, that
would to God a democratic Moses
could rise in Oklahoma and advocate
these questions from the viewpoint
of high principles, and not resort to
petty slurs, but appeal to the intel
ligence of the voters instead of ap-
pealing to his prejudice. / now re-
peat that assertion.
If the people of the state desire to
vote this amendment down, well and
good, but have not word of apollo
gy to make for my position in the mat
ter, but know am going to live long
enough to see my position indicated
by the intelligent democratic voters
of the state of Oklahoma.
