THE PoRUm FEUD.

without warning by an assassin.
For years this specter of ourlawry
has disgraced Muskogee and Mcintosh
counties and these neighborhoods be
fore the counties came into existence.
That such a spirit OF the savage
primeyal days should exist i'll this
community of twentieth century civil
ization seems almost incredible Yet
exist it does and has and within the
last year at least seven people have
lost their lives and thousands OF dol
lars worth OF property have been de
stroyed.
It can not be charged that the OH
GERS have not done their duty Their
vigilance has been untiring, and one
officer not many months ago lost his
lift because of this feud while per-
forming his duty
The people naturally are casting
about for some reason as to why this
disgrace lives on, fourishes and grows
from day to day The Phoenix can
see but one answer, the inefficieney
and delays in our courts. For this the
judges are not to blame. The fault
lies in the people themselves and in
our system of justice.

HE PARrY oF puPLlclTY.

A single month has hardly elapsed
since the republicans of Oklahoma by
excluding negroes from county and
state conventions declared to the
world. that the negro is incapable of
self government aid unworthy of par
ticipating in government The plea of
the negro for representation on the
state delegation TO the national con
vention was brusquely denied, and the
sable-sons OF the south were informed
that the white republicans of Okla
homa do not need the negro in poll
tical conventions. But within two
weeks a change has come over the
spirit of republican dreams and the
negro becomes once more the object
OF keenest republican solicitude. \
fair" election law has been prepared
by the republican organization and a
campaign inaugurated for the emascu-
lation if not the practical abrogation
of the Grandfather Clause.
The consistency of the republican
contingent is like the harmony of de-
mons and angels. Today they indorse
what yesterday they denied. and to-
day they deny what yesterday they
admitted. BY their action and open
declarations in convention they ex-
cluded the negro from politics. By
their action and declaration today they
seek to bring the negro back into pol
itics. The inconsistency is one born
of necessity and has nothing to do
with principle or innate conception Of
right. The tribe of the Harrisites
have no love for the negro in the eau
Gus or the convention because they
do not need him there. They profess
love for the negro in popular cleo
tions not for any worthiness in him
but because the machine needs his
vote.
The duplicity and inconsistency of
the party is apparent to all response
bles. and their professed love for the
African will fool no one but himself.
The negro alone of all the races can
be fooled by such whirl-a-gig protesta-
tions. All but negroes know that the
republicans displayed their real senti-
ments when they shut the doors of
their conventions in the face of ne
groes. All but negroes know that
their preser. proffers are sugar coated

TO MOVE THE CAPITAL AGAIN

y MONE 6G OAFi Al H0RiNs
An initiative petition asking that
the state capital be removed from Ok
lahoma City to Guthrie was filed yes
terday with Attorney General West
preparatory to filing it with Secretary
OF state Harrison
The bin is very brief and simple, inn
poses no demands upon Guthrie and
exacts no promises Il merely in the
fewest words possible locates the cap
ital Of Oklahoma at that city
II the vote is favorable to Guthrie,
however. that city will turn over TO
the state, rent free, its s150,OO0 court
house and s150,000 Convention Han,
to be used by the state until perma-
nent buildings can be erected.
The Poenix does not know Of any
particular claim Guthrie has TO the
state capital but it does know that
Oklahoma City has still less. The
capital. too. was stolen from Guthrie
by fraud. by promises never fulfilled
and by grating politicians. Fraud
vitiates all things it touches and fol
lowing that principle of law Guthrie
should at this time be the capital OF
the state
Whether Guthrie succeeds or not in
it's effort to regain the capital Okla
homa City should not hold it. II
make promises whereby the removal
TO Oklahoma City was not to cost the
state a penny, promises never kept
and which it now seems were made
with full knowledge that they never
would be kept The state has been
betrayed by the grafters and polti
clans of Oklahoma City That city's
agreement with the state has been de
clared void
If Guthrie is not the logical place
for the capital, then let some other
good town in Oklahoma have it, Mus
kogee will not go very far out of its
way after it. We are too busy here
building the greatest city in the state
to worry about a little thing like the
+ capital
! Oklahoma City should not be per
mitted to keep the capital As il
should be moved it may be no more
than right to give it back TO Guthrie

The "kiIties."

Not satisfied with renown in their
own country, the "Kilties." Canada's
greatest concert band, have made
themselves internationally famous.
They have travelled it is said over four
hundred thousand miles and have CIV
en- over six thousand concerts in the
principal cities of twenty different
countries The "Kilties" have been
dubbed the globe-trotters" by the
people of various nations and they
deserve the name for so extensive
have been their wanderings that they
have sailed on every ocean of the
globe. Their last foreign tour, in
which the wanderers completely cir
cled the globe, was eighty-six thousand
miles long an dit required over two
years of the gIobe-trotters time. With
in itself this remarkable record is
surely proof that there is something
about the "Kilties" that almost every
body likes, and the reports from the
various American cities the "Kilties"
have played on their present tour go
to show that they still retain that
something about themselves that have
made them internationally famous.
Great enthusiasm is being displayed
in this city over the coming of this
