TO BUILD THE CAPITOL.

BY almost unanimous vote Okla
homa City decided Monday to vote
bonds to the amount of $500 Sl09,-
600 of which is to begin work on the
capitol building, It being agreed by
Governor Cruee that this amount to
gether with the $50 acres Of land which
is to be decided to the state, will read
ily raise the million dollars which is
to be put into the capital,
At the same time vote was carried
to issue bonds to buy additional park
grounds and terminal facilities sor the
Northwest railroad to Woodward. Con-
tracts have been signed for the build
ing OF this road. and II only remained
for the people OF Oklahoma city to
vote these bonds in order to secure
the Observation-Disclosures railroad.
An additional 100000 Of bonds was
voted to improve the water plant and
provide funds for securing the ex-
ports who are to build the proposed
permanent water supply for the city.
Thus in one day Oklahoma City =
turns to her old-time way of doing
things. of making good her promises
and OF building for the future With
the gradually increasing stock ma1-
ket. the growth of the two great PACK
mg rlants. the building of not only
the northwest railroad this year but OF
Nj. o. & G.; as well as the two million
dollars that are to be spent in the
elevation Of the tracks, and the quarter
of n million which the Rock Island and
Frisco are to spend for new Union
station. II would seem that Oklahoma
CITY was going to go ahead as she new
er has beforehand certainly on a
much hrmer and more substantial
basis
The exact vote for the bonds foy the
capltol and park as well as the rail
road propositions was 1902 to l,OO7.

In the daily task of a hardworking
pains-taking newspaper man there
comes many misgivings as to what

editor of even a small, insitinificant
newspaper talks to more people every

what is right and what is wrone.
In these days of wide spread democ.

and out Of the whole we must slit the
wholesome from the malignant and
the dangerous. The thing We started
to write about is the work OF eyanee,
lists-men who SO about the country
preaching the gospel Of Christ. Wan
derng preachers who stirup the layaty
to a more pronounced and energetic
effort TO live the Christ life, and TO
bring the masses to a sense of their
moral and spiritual obligations.
The more settled and permanent
work of the church is left to those who
remain on the field and continue the
work as started by the evangelist
The work of the evangelist is like
the charge Of an army. or the division
OF en- army on the field Of battle To
