WHAT "oPEN SUNDAY" MEANS!

A business man said yesterday, Il
don't suppose L should ever go to the
theater on Sunday night, but believe
in letting people do as they please
about such things
Then vote for an open Sunday, >
replied a friend, for now they can't
do as they please"
In some cities open Sunday would
mean open saloons, open houses of
prostitution, open gambling halls In
Vinita it means nothing of the kind. 1t
means clean, healthy sport Sunday
afternoon and wholesome recreative
amusement in the evening. 1t meln
to give people who don't go to church
some other form of pleasure for the
sacred day than the indulgence in
vice.
We are not fighting the churches,
even If they are fighting us. The
churches will still be open, and the
Gospel still be preached. But we can't
go to church all day on Sunday. That
would be as monotonous as work
Sunday morning will still belong to
the church. Let us have the rest of
the day for recreation, for sport in
Gods open air, for the appeal of art
and music, on the one day of the week
when we who work are rested enough
to enjoy.
Liberty is the spirit of America, the
spirit of the west, the spirit of true
Christianity
When did Jesus ever call on the
police to help Him enforce the laws
of his kingdom? The Bible says:
Where the spirit of the Lord is, there
is liberty"
You Christian people-all who are
interested in clean and healthy life:
"Vote for Liberty"
Let people do as they please about
these things"
That's what on open Sunday means!
THE OPEN SUNDAY COMMITTEE.

DUNLOP REFUSES
TO LEAVE BOARD
In Letter to Governor cruce He Ex-
plains Position on Books
Letting Was Honest.

Oklahoma City, Aug. 5-In letter
which he addressed to Governor Lee
Cruce Saturday, State Treasurer Rob-
ert Dunlop. one of the members of the
state board of education whose resig-
nation was requested by Governor
Cruce and who later was removed by
the governor, fatty refuses to quit the
board and declares that he will carry
the contention to the supreme court.
The letter follows:
August 3, 1912. - Hon. Lee Cruce,
governor, Oklahoma City, Okla, Sir:
Il have received recently three COM
munications from you which feel
that it is my duty to answer: the first
is a letter from you dated July q, 1912,
requesting my resignation as mem
ber of the state board of education;
the second is dater July 20, 1912, and
purports to me a summary of evidence
of complaints made more than year
ago against me as a member of the
state board of education the third is
a notice that you had attempted to re-
move me from the membership of the
state board of education and that what
ever ! might do in this state as a
member of that board would be done
at my peril
I cheerfully assume all risk which
may attend the course l shall pursue
in this matter. | shall not comply
with your request, and | wish to con-
vey this information that if you can
get my resignation before ! tender it,
get busy My reasons are as fol-
lows: a short time after you had
concluded the investigation of the
charges made against the members of
the state board of education, you in
formed my attorney, w A. Ledbetter,
that there was no proof of any wrong
doing on my part and that you had ae-
quilted me upon alr charges in connec-
tion with the investigation Of last fall.
Later in conversation in your of
flee you told me personally that the
investigation had revealed nothing
which in any manner reflected upon
my conduct, honor or integrity as a
member of the board. and you express
ed satisfaction that this was true.
What want to know governor is this.
When did you tell the truth? When
you advised my attorney, or the other
day when you found me guilty? After
having been found by you guilty of no
wrong-doing, and having the approval
of my own conscieHSe upon all past
matters when the proposition as to
when the text books should be adopt
ed came before the board gave it my
best though and judgment; hence, the
only possible grievance you have
against me is that refused to sub
nit to your dietation and y9sad against
the postponement of the adoption.

The town of Broken Arrow, Okla,
|obtained its name from similar In.
dian legend. In very beautiful part
of the prairies, near the Arkansas
river, lived many tribes of Indians So
many differences arose among these
tribes that soon they were broken up
into hostile tribes and war was de-
clared. At the end of fierce and
Isanguinary conflict the chiefs of the
various tribes met together on con,
spicuous mound near the present
town of Broken Arrow. Here their
quarrels were composed and in cele-
bration of the event their arrows were
broken. This action was their sign
of peace. And SO the name Broken
Arrow.

The name Anadarko, Okla, is the
basis for another Indian legend Viii
liam Shirley, who died in 1910, mar
ried the last member of the Nadarko
tribe of Indians and his SOD, Harry
Shirley. is the only living survivor Of
the Nadarko tribe.
The name Anadarko came about in
this way: A government official. visit
ing the tribe, desired to select name
for a postofiice. Shirley was an Irish
man and when the official asked him
for suitable name, he said Call II
Nadarko' in honor of my Wife The
official did not catch the answer clear
ly because of Shirleys brogue and
wrote il @'Anadarko and so the name
has survived.
Shirley had been in the Caddo coun
try for many years and was a very
old man at his death. He had built
a sort of castle about a mile and halt
north and east of Anadarko, the re
mains of which are still standing
There are also some springs named
in his honor

REPUBLICANS WILL
VOTE FOR WILSON

New York, August ). = The most
significant thing about the national
campaign in its early stages is the
fact that hundreds of thousands of
republicans, who never before voted
the democratic ticket, have voluntarily
written Governor Wilson and Cover
nor Marshall that they intend this
year to vote the democratic ticket
Some days ago, when in Indianap-
oils, Governor Marshall told me that
since the convention he had been de-
luged with letters of congratulation
and voluntary pledges of support, and
that more than twenty-five per cent
Of his correspondents stated that they
were republicans, but they thought
the time had come for change in the
national administration, and that they
intended to support the ticket nomi-
mated at Baltimore.
The special newspaper articles pub
lished, containing few extracts from
letters written to Governor Wilson at
Seagirt, show that the views of the
correspondents of the candidates for
president duplicate those of the can
didate for vice president, and that a
very large proportion of letters offer
ing support are from republicans.
The correspondence that comes to
Chairman McCombs and the demo-
cratic headquarters in New York is
OF the same tenor and it comes from
all parts of the country, showing that
the democratic candidates appeal
both to the popular imagination and
to the popular confidence; and that,
while the democrats are united in the
support of the democratic ticket, as
never before in the life Of the young
er men of the party, and the inde-
pendent vote is almost solid for Will
son and Marshall, there is a break in
the republican vote, heretofore un-
known in the history of that party. In
1896 there was bolt in the republi-
can party of the silver republicans,
but that bolt did not appreciably af
feet any state east Of the Mississippi
river and as the result showed was
not large enough to change the result
in any state west of the Mississippi,
with few exceptions.
This year the republican, party is
split and republicans will divide be
tween Mr. Taft and df Roosevelt,
that is, those who intend to vote for
Wilson and Marshall; and there are
many, who, while preferring not OPEN
ly to join the democratic organization,
will furnish a vote which, added to
the democratic vote of 1908, will put
the democratic candidate in the White
House.
As one of many evidences of the
republican trend to Wilson and Mar
shall, the following editorial from the
New York Press, giving the result of
poll among republicans, is illuminat-
ing.

Republicans for Wilson,

Last week the editor of the New
York Press sent private letters to re-
publican voters, selected at random
from readers on its mail subscription
lists and not living in New York City
or other large cities. The main part
of the letter was:
For which of the following do you
intend to vote: Taft, Wilson, Roose-
welt?
Are you in favor of the plan pro-
posed by the former president of
breaking UP the present republican
party and forming a new one? For
whom did you vote in 1907?
"Of the 1000 first replying virtually
all voted for Mr.. Taft four years ago.
OF the 1000 replying 442 said they
would vote for Mr.. Taft this year, S35
for Mr.. Roosevelt, 1872 for Mr.. Wilson
and 81 said they would not vote at all
or were undecided.
Most of those declaring they would
vote for Mr.. Wilson gave as their rea-
son their disgust with republican fac
tionalism. Some were voting for him
as the surest way in their judgment,
to defeat the Colonel and prevent him
from breaking up the republican party.
Some Of those in the notsvoting class
said they might vote for Mr.. Taft or
Mr.. Wilson If it became necessary, in
their Judgment. to do this to prevent
the Colonel from breaking up their
party. Some o fthose recording them
selves for Mr.. Taft lamented his nom
ination, but would vote for him to pre-
vent the Colonel from breaking up
their party
