From the Enid Eaglel

lF'rom the Enid Eaglel
The question Of the location OF the
state capital is one which very prop
erly concerns the entire state The
claims OF the eoHtesting towns other
than insofar as they operate in the in
terest of the state as a whole, are
not entitled to consideration. The
state is under obligations 10 neither
Oklahoma City nor Guthrie
So far. The Eagle has taken on in
terest in the state capital fight other
than to report its news. features
Two years ago this paper favored Ok
lahoma City, on ihe theory that the
larger city was better able TO take
care OF the proposition and that to
accept her offer would save the stale
a great deal OF money AT the time
that vote was taken, it was understood
that the capital would not be moved
until 1873 and that the capitol build
ings would by that time be all ready
TO move into Had it not been SO I'M
derstood il is not likely that Okla
homa City would have won that elee-
lion Now, however it looks as
though an injustice has been done ~
the people OF the state. There is no
real evidence THAT the proposition
made by Oklahoma City viii be or can
be carried out. and in order 10 even
approach that end it will be neces
sary for the state to in substance
enter partnership in a real estate spec
ulation plan, the outcome OF which
would be shrouded in doubt This
is not said in spirit Of hostility toI
Oklahoma City. but in simple fairness
TO the state.

on heavy obligation for the purpose

That was In 1909 The next year a
letter from him was read at an anti
suffrage meeting In the Berkeley thea
ter. New York, in which he said. Il
am very tepid on woman suffrage"
The cause Of woman's enfranchise-
ment has no more implseable enemy
than the Outlook, and Mr.. Roosevelt
is on the editorial staff Last Feb
ruary he had in that magazine a ten
column article entitled "woman's
Rights" but the. only right considered
was that Of the suffrage. The article
was such an excellent exposition Of
the attitude OF women who do not
wish to vote that the Anti-suffrage as
ISOLATION ordered copies for distribu-
ton. In this article he said again,
'In our western states where the suf-
'rsgs has been granted TO women am
unable to see that any great differ

With neighboring states"
And yet Just four months after this
when Mr. Roosevelt had
definitely decided to make the contest

icruples about forcing suffrage on a
hostile and Indifferent majority van
shed in thin air because a million and

COULD HAVE CARRIED OHIO
But Big Bull Moose Took to the Yer
mont Woods--Noted Woman Ex-
poses His Change OF Front.
BY IDA Hustled HARPER.


The Progressive party had It's first
opportunity to show its loyalty to the
woman suffrage plank in its platform
when the vote was taken In Ohio on
new constitution. Forty-two amend
ments were on the ballot, and all were
adopted except the one for woman
sutfragel
Ohio Is one OF the banner Progress
sive states, and Mr. Roosevelt expects
TO secure its electoral vote. In order
TO do this a plurality of the electors
must be Progressives, and they could
therefore have easily carried the suf-
frage amendment II all the others had
voted against H. as the vote on the
constitution was very light only a
few hundred thousand out of more
than a million who were eligible. Did
he issue any orders 10 this effect? Did
he say to his followers Now, here is
our first chance to show the women
that we mean business Of course IN
we win In November we will give the
franchise to all In the United States,
but just now we can make good by
giving It to those In Ohio, so let every
Progressive vote for the woman suf'
frage amendment" Did he DO this !?
On the contrary, he completely ig-
nored the matter. although he passed
through Ohio the very day of the cleo
tion.
A few days before, at St Johnsbury,
VT, Mr. Roosevelt had devoted a large
part of his speech TO showing how
strongly he believed In the ballot for
women and how anxious he was for
them to get IT, The question was not
an Issue there or likely TO be, but it
was vital issue in Ohio, to be settled
In four days. and yet not by spoken or
written word did he show to the peo-
pie of Ohio that he knew OF its ex-
istence.
Two days after the Progressive par
ty in Ohio permitted the defeat OF this
amendment its state convention met
II any women were elected delegates

II, and In the platform woman suf-
frage plank was conspicuous by Its alb
sence. The Progressive party pledges
itself to the task Of securing equal suf-
frage to men and women alike" says
its national platform, and Ohio has
just given the first example OF the
way 1t apparently means to keep that
pledge
In Mr.. Roosevelt's second term the
suffragists determined to make every
possible effort to secure an indorse7
ment from him. As Miss Susan 3,
Anthony's most eloquent letters to
him received no answer, she went In

offered for the carload exhibits of
cattle, hogs and sheep has aroused
an intense interest throughout the
Northwest, continued Mr.. Jones,
and I expect to see the finest lot of
livestock at the Lewiston show this
winter that has ever been brought to-
gether in the northwest. Many of our
stockmen will bring cattle, hogs and
sheep to be entered. for the various
prizes and we expect number exhib-

certain there will be several cars of
hogs entered for the $1,000 cash
prize offered for the best showing in
this line. AT the present time
there are a number of farmers feed

hide which measured ten feet from
tip to tip. Mr.. Sewell has killed
thirteen cougars during the past year
and thirty-six since his occupancy of

of the Clearwater. Mr.. Sewell says
an adult cougar will kill two deer

when he went into the section where
he resides, the deer were almost ex-

more plentiful than in any part of the
