WHAT WILL
HARVEST Be?
No ANSWER
THE CROP OF CANDIDATES FOR
MAYOR AND CHIEF OF POLICE
BEGINS TO LOOM LARGE ON
THE HORIZON.

Life is Just one -- thing after
another, as the saying goes, and il
looks as if we in Oklahoma are
only fairly settled after one election
before the sovereign people are again
called to the trenches and asked to
defend them against an invading foe
1t matters not that that foe approach
es with smile and Establishment en-
deavoring to win your position with
soft words, or whether they unlimber
one of those big ~ centimeter guns
and try to shoot conviction into the
anatomy of the voters The fact re
mains that the fellow with the ballot
in his possession is asked to use it
oftenor in Oklahoma than in any
other state in the union.
The next question that the dear
pee-pul are going to have to decide
in this city is: Who is going to
represent them as mayor for the
coming term? Also: Who is going
to WELD the power behind the throne
or on the throne in the police sta
tion?
For the former position several
have intimated that they are in the
hands Of their friends and are per-
fectly willing to take Mayor Roberts
job and the emoluments thereof, pro-
vided Bill don't object too strenu-
ously about it. said objections Sec
ondcd by his friends at the polls.
The hist of aspirants was published
some time ago, and it would not
be interesting to reproduce the leng-
thy list here. but old Miss Rumor
launched another one yesterday who,
like Barkis, she says is willing to
get into the game, provided the dear
pee-pul want his services at 1856
per, and that is our friend and fellow
citizen, II. A. Hefner-he of the
smiling mien and affable disposition.
He has had some experience in the
ndHullllS vi lllulllNlBdl dlldll =, b'ihS >
city attorney under Mayor Dawson,
and he knows all about the affairs
and duties involved upon the mayor
Again it is whispered that our
ex-Mayor Dawson might consent to
taken up the duties and burdens OF
that office again if the people
wanted to take another chance.
Mayor Dawson was an efficient Of
fetal, and gave the city a goo1 uu-
ministraton He knows what is need
ed, and is equipped, mentally and
physically, to give the people good
run for their money
And then, there is our dear old
friend, sunny jim" Cotner, of
Dougherty pilgrimage fame. He has
been buzzng around for quite while
but whenever the question is slam
med at him, he bucks like Freddy
Welsh from one of Whites left jabs
and says with hand raised aloft,
Never again" But that's what they
all say, and there are a whole lot
of people who would take their coats
off and get in the game for Jimmy
if he would but line up to the wire
for the start.
And so on, ad lib, from now until
the primary election to be held in
March there will he a new candi-

is an avowed candidate, and the
only one, up to date.
The same rule applies to the office
of the chief of police. There are
many who want it, but when it
comes to running for the job, they
are like a number of people who
could be northumberland of their

One thing is reasonably certain,
however, and that is this: The
chances are bright for a lively scrim-
mage in the primary according to
present signs, but signs, like every
thing else, sometimes fail, especially
in dry weather and in dry town.

The American Sheet and Tin
Plate Company, employing six
thousand people, has warned all
its employees \that they must
quit drink altogether and with
draw from fraternal organiza-
tious that maintain sidebOards
with liquor in them. No person
will also be employed who signs
petitions for saloon license. The
company in making. this order, is
not trying to deprive single
employe of his personal liberty,
hut says it is simply a business
proposition with them. No man
who drinks, they declare, can
render them the service they re-
quire.
This is only another instance
which proves that liquor and

ted by the resourceful railroads.
We have seen just such detesta-
able workings since the meeting
Of the present Legislature, and
the Times has taken occasion to
criticize such actions. These
people care nothing for their
neighbors or their business. Just
so they themselves swim, others
may sink or perish.
All the Times wants is justice.
We want for Kentucky as low
freight rates as any other State
has; we want as low passenger
rates as any other State enjoys ;
we want no more ; we want fair
play. We want the railroads to
earn liberal dividends, and we
want State regulation so they can
do this. We also want the rail
roads to respect the Constitution
of the State, and the laws of the
Commonwealth. We have a
right to expect this; we are not
getting it, but we must conclude
that other people are as much to
blame for these conditions than
the railroads.

CONCERNING CONSTITU.
TIONAL AMENDMENTS

JcXerson City, Oct. l0.--The last of
the series Of arguments on the meas
ures to be submitted to vote at the
coming election was today issued by
Secretary of State Cornelius Roach.
Those wishing to vote intelligently
on Propositions Nos, Fourteen and
Fifteen should preserve this article.
The sole purpose in giving these ar
guments is to furnish information to
the voter, and the Secretary of State
is in no way responsible for asser-
ton, made on either side Of any sub
ject discussed.
The champions of Proposition No.
ID give the following reasons why
the measure should be adopted:
Proposition No. II should be adopt
ed because it will place in the hands of
the State Legislature the means Of adj
equately dealing with the questions Of
good roads. This proposition does
not itself create bond issue, but 1t
give the Legislature the power to
exercise its own judgment in author
izing the issuance of State bonds for
good road purposes only, in any sum
not exceeding $5O,OOO,OOO. As is
vel known, the only way in which
public improvements of any kind can
be constructed upon large scale Is
by borrowing money through the sale
Of tonds. This proposition will give
us good roads in Missouri, provided
the State Legislature wants us to
have them. 1t puts the question up
to the General Assembly and gives
that body the power to do the work.
Should this proposition be adopted,
there will be no excuse for bad roads
in Missouri, because the people can
cleo, a Legislature which will provide
the means for a proper system Of
public highways. At the present
time the Legislature has no such
