A DESPERATE POLITICAL MACHINE

The bourbon machine in Oklahoma IL dcsper-
ate. II will stop at nothing to prevent Okla
homa from going against tho machine. The
latest is it's raising OF tho old negro question
This ia being dono in two ways
First. orators are again digging up tho old
battle cry OF tho first campaign after statehood
Nothing Ia said about corporations" and ear
petbaggers." for the bourbon machine is now
carrying both. But tho coon" part of that
battle cry is being used to the limit
Second the bourbons have raised a question
concerning the legality OF tho registration OF
negroes subsequent to January /, 1890. 1t is
impossible To tell you the reason. The under
standing Is that the law requires frequent open-
Ing OF the registration books in order that citi-
gems may qualify themselves to use the franchise
as fast as they become of age have fulfilled
the requirements OF tho law, or can avail them
selves Of an opportunity that on some previous
occasion for some reason or other they were
unable to grasp.
There is no question now but such is the
law, with reference 10 white citizens and In
dians. But the bourbons, seeing an opportunity
to save themselves and frustrate the wifi OF
the people. have seen fit to suggest that prob
ably negroes registered as other citizens are
registered. can not be permitted the vote
To Tulsans this will sound strange, In view
OF the fact that bourbon candidates have been
playing politics with tho negroes here for
years; In view of the fact that n large contin-
gent OF oolorod democrats occupied a place OF
honor In tho Cox parade tho other evening: in
view or the fact that eminent democratic
speakers featured tho recent all-day democratic
state convention hold by the negroes.
The negroes who have been caJoed into the
democratic ranks will feel, we suspect. rather
dubious as they see their pretended friends
making their cause issue Ia the campaign.

REASON REGAINING HER THRONE

Ponca City carpenters held a meeting under
the auspices OF their union for The purpose OF
deciding whether or not to demand an increase
In the wage scale from IS TO $40 per day. After
debato they voted to make no demand
The reason given by the carpenters for their
unexpected action Is that there is a general de-
cline In all commodities which blds fair 10 on

demand higher wages would place them IN an
nnonviable light and expose thom to the charge
That labor was hindering tho downward mSve-

necessity for stimulating his especial market.

CHAPTER ON HATTERY
The Funny Things Man VIII Wear

preceding spring.
Consequently the mob assumes a
queer aspect to man in airplane
between hat seasons Looking
down, the aviator may well be-
Neve the world has gone balmy, for
men wear things on their heads that
are beyond belief. From the old

L. Apnlnsf Dancing

Editor World I notice in the fall program OF
The Y w. G, A. that II sets forth the advanta ges
OF this organization to promote Christian living
for young girls. and in the program | see that
dancing IL also taught, which IL conceded to
be one Of the most effective beginnings to the
downfall OF young girls
The public, Christian people in particular try
to safeguard the girls through the Y. w. c. A.,
lending IT help financially, and then the board
OF directors Inserts into the program the thing
that Is in direct opposition OF the thing which
the Y. w. G. A. stands, or should stand for.
II Is time the word Christian be taken away
from denominations and organizations that are
Just moral, not Christian as the term is mislead-
ing and Is an insult to Christ and his followers
I am surprised that the board or the people
who are responsible for inserting dancing In the
program should do SO, as I believe most of
them are church members and mothers.
