WHY THE CONSTITUTION

Of State Question Number 40

Answer Of the Guthrie Committee
on behalf Of State Question No 40,
Initiative Petition No 25, why the
Constitution should be amended 50
as to locate the capital permanently
at Guthrie, Oklahoma.
The Oklahoma City Committee
puts great stress upon the fact that
the first legislature OF The territory
OF Oklahoma passed several blIis
moving the capital from Guthrie, bnt
negects to state that this legislature
spent the entire session WrangImS
over the capital matter that the
passage OF these bills was secured by
means 50 notolousiy corrupt thdI
Congress refused TO allow any terri
torial legislature to further consider
the matter. 1t was to prevent
repetition Of these scenes in the
First State legislature, TO the detri-
ment OF all other public business
that Congress provided In the En-
abling Act that the capital should mol
be permanently located unui 1918.

MORE CLEAN CAMPAIGN. !"

The attempt of the Oklahoma City commit
tee to discredit Guthries title to Capitol square
and city parks is in line with their other misrep-
reservations, Justification of records and for
geries resorted to in their campaign Of villifica-
tion and abuse.
Guthrie has a valid title to Capitol square
by deed from the Federal Government and the
land is so dedicated on the plats and records of
the U. S. Land Office and any person can ascer
lain the facts from Hon. L. N Houston, register
or Hon. Hugh Scott receiver of the Guthrie
office or see the records for himself. Guthrie
has spent $250000 in improvements on this land
and is absolutely sure of the validity of the title
she has conveyed to the people of the state.
Oklahoma City had better correct the 223
flaws in the title TO the land she pretends to offer
the state and pay little rent.

about conducting clean campaign

They are, indeed, a nice bunch to
talk about a clean campaign.
They are practically the same com
mittee who conducted the campaign
two years ago promising the people
the capital would not be moved untll
1913 when they had all plans laid to
move it at once; the same gang that
stuffed the ballot boxes with over

moval expenses and deliberately and

and assist in the fraudulent registra

own advertisements that only Ia
acres are below 23rd street and tha
some OF the land is ten miles from

state that the land they offer is the

4 DAUGHTERS TRIBUTE.
Editor Democrat +:

Editor Democrat
Can you spare Q little space In your
paper for Q daughters tribute to one who
has just passed to her rewardP Mrs. Car
rie II. Austin was the daughter of Cap.
tain Silaa Maxim, and was born on his
homestead . short distance from Paris
Hill. She was educated In the public
schools, Paris Hill Academy, and Oxford
Normal Institute. She taught thirty
terms of school 10 this and adjoining
towns and In Massachusetts,. She was
an enthusiastic and devoted teacher.
She always made especial efforts to help
and encourage the dull and backward
ones. Her pupils who met her In later
life always greeted her with the utmost
cordially and seemed to feel that she
had done great things for them.
In 1871 she went to Michigan to visit
her sister, and met and loved Rev. Henry
A. Austin, q home missionary who had
organized the first church and helped to
build for its occupancy what was for
some time the only public building 10
town. The happiest years OF her life
we're spent with him and their children
In q little frame house which he had
built with bis own hands, having split
out the boards and siding from logs cut
on the farm.
In 1882, Mr.. Austin died, and as soon
as the property could be settled the
widow with her three little ones came to
Maine and settled in South Paris, near
the home of her brother, s. P. Maxim.
1t is seldom that home missionary has
much property to leave his family, and
my fathers case was no exception. 1t
was only by hard work, strict economy,
and many personal sacrifices that she
was able to raise and educate her three
children. But she did 1t all with the
utmost cheerfulness, never feeling that
our poverty was q disgrace, but rather
priding herself In the fact that every dol.
lar we possessed was an honest one.
do not think my mother ever con-
sciously did wrong or an unkind act.
She was always thinking of Others, al
ways wanting to help, to comfort and to
bless those about her. During her last
days the thought that she was making
trouble for her dear ones was harder
for her to bear than her own personal
sufferings.
For nearly seventy five years she strove
to do her whole duty and now "her chill
dren rise up and call her blessed"

Bad Wreck on Grand Trunk.

The worst wreck for number of years
on this division of the Grand Trunk
occurred early Thursday morning near
the North Yarmouth station, when two
freight trains came together in head-on
collision. Three men were killed: Ray
mond b. Jordan of Portland, 81, fireman;
Elmer Barnes of Island Pond, SO, engi-
neer; Arthur Corliss of Island Pond, 30,
brakeman.
The cause of the accident has not been
definitely fixed. The trains were a local
extra freight west bound, and through
train with two engines, east bound.
While the west bound train was prepar-
ing to take. the siding at North Yarmouth
to cross the other train, the east-bound
train came along and crashed In at high
speed. A tangled mass of wreckege,
including the engines and number Of
freight cars with their contents, was the
result.
OF the three men who lost their lives,
two were doubtless killed outright. Cor
liss was pinned under Car so that II
was impossible to release him. The
wreckage took FIRE, and the flames were
rapidly approaching. Fierce efforts were
made to release him, and at last, physi.
clans having arrived, small quantity OF
chloroform was administered to the vic.
tim, and it 10 thought that his suffering
may have been dulled by 1t.

House of August Cummings Burned
OCCUPANTS HAD NO TINE To SPARE,
AND SAVED LITTLE.

The house on the Lander place, about
four miles from South Paris, was bnrn-
ed early Wednesday morning. 1t was
owned by August Cummings, q native of
Finland but naturalized American citi-
zen, who with his family and another
Finn family occupied 1t.
1t was between 4 O'Clock and balf-past
that the occupants of the house were
awakened to find the upper part Of the
building In flames. There was little
time to save any thing, not even full
outfit of clothing for the people, and the
small children were carried out wrapped
in bed clothes. A sewing machine and a
few chairs we're practically all that was
saved. Two pigs were burned.
The barn stood at some distance from
the house, and favoring wind kept the
sparks away FROM it, SO that 1t did not
take fire.
August Niskanep, one of the occu-
pants of the house, not only had . close
call to get out of the house, but had to
leave between $50 and S35 in money,
which was lost.
There was an insurance OF $500 on the
house.
Neighbors supplied the immediate
needs OF the sufferers from the FIRE, and
they were given temporary quarters In
the house OF Oscar Tikander, another
Finn, on tho Elder farm near by.
