Has Been Raining Two Weeks.

The Parker shows have had to con-
tend with the weather man for the
past two weeks, rain deluging the ex-
hibitions at times. All last week was
rainy with the exception Of two days,
while the carnival was at Muscatine.
BY the looks of the sky today, bad
weather has the appearance of stay
ing awhile though it is hoped that the
sun will help out during the other FIVE
days to afford chance for enjoyment.

POLITICAL UNREST.

Recall petitions are now out in
Shawnee TO recall the mayor that
town elected on the 4th OF this
month. His appointments were not
approved by the people and they are
after his scalp. Recall petitions have
already been signed and filed at
McAlester for the recall Of Pete
Hanraty. the mayor of that city,
and just rs soon as the elections
in Dallas and Oklahoma City are
over the same thing may he expect
ed in those cities. There is great
political unrest throughout the union
The recall may have its virtues, but
it certainly does give the dissatisfied
element in the cities an opportunity
20 stir up a great deal OF strife and
keep the people talking politics from
one end OF the year to the other, in
stead of talking municipal growth.

TURN OKLAHOMA LOOSE.

That which is eyerybody's business
is nobodys business is as true to-
day as 1t was the day it was first
spoken. 1t is nobody's business to
carry on the campaign for the repea.

state. The railroads are pretty well

If Oklahoma is turned loose and 9th

IL is certain that the roads already
here will have to make some eXten-
sions and they get all the tonnage as
the matter stands now and are not
willing to make the campaign that
will force them to spend millions in
the state in railroad construction
work. The duty OF carrying on the
fight is clearly upon the shoulders Of
the men O. Oklahoma who believe in
progress, who want more farms de-
Veloped. who want the mines deyel-
oped, who want 20 see cement mills
and asphalt paint factories and re-
fineries built These are the men who
must shoulder the burden OF the cam
paign, and IL is sincerely hoped that
progressive spirits in every precinct
in this portion Of the state will call
meetings, effect an organization OF
workers and see that the people are
reminded Of the matter on election
day The people generally in thisr sec
