OKLAHOMA CITY PEEvEp.

The Oklahoma City Times takes
very much to heart Guthrie's action
in filing a petition asking for anoth.
er--and an honest-vote on the
capital matter. In fact, the Times
is peeyed 10 the core. II says:
The Times boosts for Oklahoma
and for any and every town in Ok
lahoma II has deprecated the
attempts of any city in the state TO
damage any rival city. The Times
has had only good words for every
town in our great state with the
single exception OF an editorial that
appeared in The Times yesterday.
In that editorial we very severly at
tackled the people of Guthrie
In explanation of this editorial
attack Il NAV he said that il was
rendered absolutely necessary by
Guthrie's conduct. The people Of
the state must be made TO know that
Guthrie has hindered the capitol
building here by ceaseless litigation
and then laid the fault of delay on
Oklahoma City and that Guthrie is
behind this initiative bill.
After delaying the building as
long as possible by appeals to the
courts and seeing that the work of
building was about to begin Guth-
re rushes this petition TO change
the capital back to their town. thus
again impeding progress.
Oklahoma has borne all this in
silence up to this time and borne
also Guthrie's false report and
slander. but the blame should be
laid by the people where it be-
longs; on the people of Guthrie"
Does the esteemed Times bear in
mind that the official vote of the
last capital election was never made
public? Does The Times remember
that it was Oklahoma city that
precipitataG the capital agitation in
the first place? Guthrie was doing
very well, the people of the state
were satisfied and no talk was cur

Of the fact that the capital matter
was never settled right The Okla
homa City press can create no sym
pathy for Oklahoma City by de
nouncing Guthrie. The people
know. The people are also fully
cognizant of Oklahoma Citys
ludicrous efforts to deceive the peo-

A MARITAL Mlx.UP.

one OF the most interesting
romantic situations reported in many
day appears to have developed
from the marriage Of a Bartlesville
divorced couple at Independence,
Oscar p Travis. s., and Mrs.
Travis. so, were divorced at Bartles-
vile about two months ago The
other day they decided to remarry,
but. found they would have to wait
six months in Oklahoma. as divorce
laws of that state require that long
q time before parties to successful
divorce suits can legally marry
again, Not wishing to wait. the
Travis couple went to independence
Kan. and were remarked.
II appears that now there are
great possibilities AS long as they
remain in independence they are
man aud wife. If they go back TO
BsrtlesVille they are simply a dt
Yorced couple, according to court
decisions of other states in like
cases.
Thus, If they wish they may enjoy
and If il ever gets TO pail upon them
they may return 10 Bartlesville and
be single again.
Moreover. if Mrs. Travis goes
home on a visit from Bartlesville 10
independence she will change from
q grass widow to a wife. When she
comes back the order will be re-
versed. If she goes away and leaves
Mr. Travis in Bartlesvile she can
have no legal kick coming if he does
things that a husband shouldn't do
but that single man may do and
not come under tAe law.
Apparently the situation is alive
with possible sensations and good
stories. And then it is peculiar that

CUBA's RACE PROBLEM.

After the usual fashion of Latin
American governments, official state
ments from Cuba disclaim knowledge
of any important disturbance among
| the disaffected negro elements OF
the population, although it is per-
fectly we'll known that armed par
ties of these insurgents are terror
izing a number of localities in diff
ferent provinces, and that condi-
tions are becoming serious. In fact,
such press dispatches as have been
able to escape censorship state that
government troops are already in
the field and more are being sent
forward TO the various regious OF
revolt
Evidence seems 10 point to u
general negro conspiracy extending
to all points Of the island. with the
object of forming an Independent
party of color which shall be pow
erful enough to dictate in govern
mental matters. What compels the
movement to assume the form of
conspiracy, whose success is depen-
dent upon a recourse to arms and
violence, is the fact that there IS
law in Cuba denying the negroes
right to organize a political party.
And the reason and motive under
lying the conspiracy are the same
that have characterized the history
OF the Spanish nations. from Spain
herself 10 her offshoots on this con
tinent since absolutely monarches
went ont of fashion j. Q the un-
quenchable desire of the average
Latin for political office A witty
Spaniard once remarked that the
trouble with Spain. as 10 her com
mercial and industrial decadence !
was that one-half the male popula-
tion was in office, and the other
half waiting TO get in.
In Cuba the negroes claim that
they have not had their share of 2
political rewards for their services
in the war for independence. The .
situation is similar 10 that preced
ing the last revolution, when in
1905 the negroes conspired to make
a Simultaneous attack on all the !
Rural Guard posts. and this was
by the general revolution
the same year
The seriousness of the situation

The champion knocked out his OPP

Kerchfell showed fight nd struck
the champion on the shoulder. Then
both men mixed it while a CROWD

The champion backed away a lit

Reciprocal Retaliation.


Editor Leader: The methods OF
Oklahoma City papers in hyper
critically shouting niger on
every occasion when Guthrie wins
an honest point, are susceptible OF
two meanings, yet they deceive no
one. The first intent is to convey
the impression IT, large major
ity of the petitioners for removal OF
the state, capital are negroes and such
an impression is as supposltitious
as it is nonsensical The second is
vain attempt to cover up mis-
take. made some time ago. and one
that all Oklahoma City is just now
seriously regretting. In former
years when there was peace and
plenty that city seemed to be of the
opinion that friends, in the nature
Of other cities. were not worth the
claiming 1t IS cited that in coun-
ties where the petitions were large
'~sfgned tire' negro popufntion- fse
heavy. But it is not cited that in
Garfield county there were 236S
signers to the petitions and there
are perhaps less than two hundred
negroes in the county The fact of
the matter is that in each of the
counties mentioned as negro coun-
ties there is a city fast becoming
a commercial center and gaining
position in the industrial world
that is very much envied by the
metropolis" 1t is safe to say that
every one of these cities have some
time in the past felt thrust OF the
keen Knife OF envy in the hand of
Oklahoma City. Is It unnatural
then. to suppose that these counties
would roll up a good sized vote to
remove the state capital from its
present location? It's nothing more
than reciprocal retalation-or pay
ing them back in their own coin.
And now while these really great
cities are smoothly drifting over
the broad sea of peace and content
