away.

Whether or not they knew it, the
members of the Liberal Chamber Of
Commerce took the advice of the
Democrat when it said last night that
care should be used in the selection
of officers and directors, and that
men especially fitted for the place
should be chosen.
Had we set down and picked a
bunch ourselves, it is doubtful if we
could have selected a better balanced
or more qualified bunch then was
done in open meeting last night.
We have no desire to throw bou-
quets, but it is only fair to say that
the fellows chosen are business men
of the highest class. Every one of
them are capable of handling the
big problems which will come to Lib
eral with the expansion of the terri
tory and the growth in Importance
of the town.
The meeting did well last night,
and we are of the opinion that the
good work of the past will be ex-
emplified in the year to come.
We're for them in everything they
start for the advancement of Liberal
and her trade territory.

our wives are fighting dust.
1t is up to opportunity to sneak in
during the night and pipe this gas to
Liberal or we may never have the
benefit of it. Instead of taking him
by the hand when gas was found and
cooperating with him we seem to be
waiting for him to go out and rustic
ditch-diggers and pipe-fitters and
see to all the little details. Damifit-
faint asking lot of the old fellow.
But he will provide a way
and sometime and Liberal will have
natural gas to burn instead of coal.
Then opportunity knocked again.
This time it was a new railroad. eau
tiously the door was opened and the
old fellow invited in, but that invi-
tation was the end. However, he was
not to be insulted, and at this time
it looks like the railroad was coming
in spite of everything. Byers is
building the grade, has the ties and
rails on the way, the farmers of Ok
lahoma are going the limit in help
ing, town-sites have been plated and
everything looks favorable for an
early completion of the road
But Liberal is no more excited
about that new railroad than she is
about the gas.
Now check up this railroad prop
osition and gas proposition to some
of the other towns in this section
of the country, and there'll probably
be mass meeting every other night
until both are cinched, but Liberal
is apparently sleeping with old OPP
portunity standing at her door with
both propositions.
1t is possible that this town i'm
AGNES she is no favorably located
that all good things are going to
come without bidding, but we think
it is a mistaken notion. Every man
in town should have his coat off
right now working to get that rail-
road finished and get that gas piped
to Liberal. These will prove big fac
tors in the development Of the town,
and we need them right now.
Let's embrace opportunity while
we have the chance. He may get
busy for some other town if we snub
him.

NOW is A GOOD TIME TO BEGIN

o. P. Byers is making a frantic
endeavor to build the Kansas & Ok
lahoma Railroad by the first of the
year. He is Lowing no stone unturned
to have the work completed in the
required length of time. We are told
that the farmers in Oklahoma are
coming to life and getting back of
the project in a manner highly COM
mendable.
What Is Liberal doing?
Liberal has not done a whole lot
lately. When the road was first STAR
ted Liberal was busy but it seems to
have lost interest at this time.
It is possible that the suit between
the company and the city has thrown
damper on the proposition, but
there is no reason for this condition
to exist.
While it is no doubt true that the
failure to get the city bonds was
handicap in the building of the road,
this should not be allowed to inter
fere seriously in getting the road.
One of the first acts of the Lib
eral Chamber of Commerce should
be meeting to get together and
build the Kansas & Oklahoma into
Liberal. Byers is doing everything
possible to hasten the completion of
the road and We believe he should
have little more encouragement
that has been Forthcoming.
Let the legal side of the case pro-
coed, but let Liberal get busy and

Old Opportunity" seems to have
a special love for Liberal.
In the case of most towns Oppor-
tunity has to be lariated and hog-tied
before he functions, but with Liberal
it is different. Opportunity knocks
at our door and if we do not answer
he secured paving brick and pro-
ceeds to batter it down and come in
and get busy.
Is not this true in the case of oil
development?
Liberal never took much stock in
the theory that there was oil in this
territory. Liberal could have drill
ed a well, and found out, but Liber-
al didn't. But Old Opportunity was
on the job for Liberal and the Am
erican Fuel Oil & Transportation
Company drilled an oil well-found
a flow Of gas approximately ten mil
lion cubic feet per day, enough gas
to heat all the homes and business
houses in the city.
Liberal went wild for few weeks
then forgot. The gas was found in
July and still there is no prospect
of getting this gas piped to town for
heating purposes. We still carry
out ashes and carrying in coal while
