Ex.eoxernor,s statement.
Governor Of Oklahoma

Muskogee, April 24--I regret that
those who have advocated the adop-
ton Of section 9, amendment at Tues
days election, have not presented
their Argument for answer. / am sure
that both Governor Cruce and Mr.. Cal
lahan, both Of whom know to be high
minded gentlemen, win not object to
their friends differing from them on
public questions.
Mr.. Callahan's statement that ] faY-
ored the Henry Ash amendment is a
mistake. He will only need to re.
fresh his own memory to recall that
tie amendment considered at the
meeting he mentions was competing
amendment prepared by the corpora,
ton commission, and which both the
commission and myself favored.
While ! have the highest respect for
Governor Cruce and do not question
his honesty Of purpose, yet Oklahoma
has made marvellous growth and has
built as much railroad as any state,
except Texas during the last three
years. We cannot afford to turn Ok
lahoma over to the corporations sim
ply to make them more prosperous.
The producers of Oklahoma had far
better earn 50 and keep it for their
own benefit than to create $4 and have
the corporations get it all.

A DANGEROUS ACT.

Our attention has been called to
the fact that it is the habit OF
right many boys and young men to
visit the Coast Line depot and jump
the trains and ride short ways as
the train moves off. This is a very
bad practice and sooner or later
someone's child is going to be killed
or possibly injured for life. The
best and proper thing to do is to
stop the practice Of jumping the
trains. There is a town ordinance
against this very thing but it seems
that no attention is paid to the lew,
and therefore we appeal to the IA
theirs and mothers to look closely
after their sons when they are al
lowed to visit the depot and see that
they do not get on the trains. Do
this for the good Of your child
without waiting for the arm of the
law to protect him and you have to
pay a fine and the cost, if he should
By any slip or chance be brought up
before the mayor on a charge of
getting on the train without bust
ness.
