There seems to be a prevalent mo- ton that such day as today-F'ri- day. the 13th-s q day of i'll omen. It is thought by many that here is one day of the year when a cold and ruthless destiny directs all our foot steps in the path of Golefui misfoI tune Despondencv and black de- spair in all our hearts will sit in heavy state. And yet q mature de- liberation will show that this is not always tie case

What the People Want

What will the commission government do for Kansas City," writes inquirng citizen to the Kansas City Times, which makes the brief but tircly comprehensive reply: It will do whatever the people of Kansas City it to do' There needs be added to this answer only pathological explanation of the difference between the mean ings of the words want and wish"
 When people really a thing they keep going after it until they get it, and they to it that is retained If the people of Phoenix our commission government to be what the makers of the charter and the citizens who ratified the charter intended it to be- they will at the election Thursday and choose the mayor and commissioners who they think will give them the kind of a government they They will stop with the election but they will keep eye the mayor and the commissioners see that what they done is being done.
 If the people continue good govern they will relax their vigilance and if they do not relax it the good government will be continuous If it should degenerate into a bad gov ernment, that will only that the people of Phoenix have ceased wanting and relapsed into dreamy wishing, and in that of the public mind one form of government is good, rather bad, another It then wouldn't really make any difference what of government have.
 It takes majority of the people to insure good government. We have candidates for mayor and eight candidates for the commission We will suppose that of the candidates for mayor and four of the candidates for the commission pre- emnently good men, and what is not the case, that candidate for mayor and four candidates for the commission superlatvely bad men. There are about 5000 in Phoenix Now, will further suppose that only 4000 of them go the polls. and that 25O0 of them for the good candidates and 1,500 for the bad candidates We will not have cured very strong hold upon good government Only 25OO out of 600C WANT it. It may be turned at any time by the other 3,500.

The Rufflinu of Oklahoma City

The even tenor of the state of Oklahoma has been disturbed recently by several unusual incl dents the latest being an episode of, or immediately following the convention of the Panhandle Cattle mems Association at Oklahoma City last week. A young woman who is called "Queenie' in the press dispatches covering the convention and it's after math had been imported from Chicago chief entertainer She gave terpsichorean exhibition introducing all dances, ancient and modern and some of which the delegates had never heard dreamed and which may therefore be supposed to be of the future and yet to be popularized. As to the attire of the young woman the press dispatches are not voluminous for the perhaps that the accurate and faithful correspondent who keeps close to facts felt himself handicapped by pow crty of material He not of those who can make something out of nothing.
 Enough of the proceedings given publicity attract the attention and arouse the wrath of the Oklahoma City Womans Club which has held meeting and denounced the affair as disgrace to a state of such high ideals Oklahoma Assum- ing that the popular impression of the character of the entertainment is correct the denunciaon is well merted, believe that the club erred in that the declaration especial insult to the womanhood of Oklahoma. It must he agreed that it was an insult to decency and therefore to the manhood well to the womanhood of not only Oklahoma, but of every state represented at the entertainment.
 It appears that the delegates from Fl Paso, and there were several of them either imbued from the beginning with of decency that strained them from going to the entertainment, else were quickly awakened such sense, for they sent teegrams to their friends at home de- scrbing their attendance and the services at the churches of Oklahoma City certain night This surprising inasmuch of the Fl Pasoan delegates known be rabid or con- firmed church goers when at home At any rate, that habit in them had not become such call forth invidous remark. It did not appear from these teegrams that all the delegates had attended the church, but that they had divided where upon it appeared at Fl Paso that the cattlemens convention had been succeeded by religious car nval in which all the Oklahoma City churches had participated

Firing of this he accepted flattering offer from a leading stock company, taking tickets at the door and doubling the ghost in Hamlet All this time Shakespeare doing little desultory writ ing amounting to about three of fOOlscap per day. He would go out and do the chores and then into the house and off ode to body. Shakespeare was full of odes that he got entirely of debt until he began to sell his books the subscription plan. Several after Shakespeare died it was discovered that matter of fact he wrote anything but l. Q. US and due bills, and that Lord Bacon the author of everything attributed him that didn't have to be fumigated before being admitted to the mails. A great many people believed this and immediately took Shakespeare's bust off the parlor mantel and put it in the hired girls Considerable cold sprang up between Shakespeare and his wife account of her refusal to accept the presidency Of the C.

Many man has been hanged for just that sort of thing.
