Editor World; At certain roomlng houN
during the very warm weather a woman con.
tInually came to breakfast with detailed story
OF the discomforts OF the night. 1T was hot
absolutely sitting, last night" looking around
the the room MY felt like would pass away.
Really, l never suffered in aF my life
don't believe that I slept wink all night
Well well!
The pollteness Of the others at the table vain
most sorely tried. OF course they did not say
what they thought. II they had they would
have told her that II was none OF their business
whether she was uncomfortable or not, that the,
had their own troubles and more imporaui
things to think about. II she wished sympath.
she should prepare to make things better Bs-
carrying n small electric fan with her and .
bottle OF ice water.
Everybody knows It's warm in summertime
and II can't be helped. Everybody knows that
the democratic administrations OF the state OF
Oklahoma have not done anything to Improve
the financial conditions of the state. All think
ing people know that a great deal of money
has been wasted and no has forgotten the
amount of pardonng granted by executives &c
criminals that has cost the taxpayers OF tbs
state millions TO convict. Everybody knows all
OF these things. What's the OF the demo
cratic candidates throwing the mud at each
other? Then when elected doing the same thing
over again Why not take these things for
granted and talk about the remedy and
construction? Since the republican admins.
tration has been in power in Washington 1t has
not done all that some people expected, but It
has paid off large fraction OF the debt,
greatly reduced routine governmental expendi.
lures, has established economical budget
system for the first time in the history OF the
nation, ana has reduced taxes considerably.
THESE things are accomplishments for which
the entire nation is grateful
II the people in the state OF oklahoma would
Ike to see an improvement in the governmental
affairs OF their state there Is only way in
which they can get IL, that is to turn the party
out OF power that has had so many years in
which TO improve its ways OF doing and give
another party tho chance TO do 1t.
There is race question since the repubIi-
can gubernatorlal candidate Fields, made his
clear declaration in regard to separate schools
In hDt tha 10 AFs . sl,.
state are interested in IS a fair election law
duly enforced. The election law of this state is
disgrace TO the party that made It, for It al
lows a registrar TO register not register
voter as is very often done, Some registrars do
see TO it that those OF his political choice are
registered and then resigns gets out of the
way until the limit OF ten days has expired SO
that those OF the opposing party are left un-
registered. Then there are thousands Of those
who vote who cannot read write These
people should not vote for government that
they cannot even read about, II the admins
tration officials Of national. state or municipal
lty were erected by people VINO are educated
enough to read and write and reason for them
selves we would have much-needed improve
ment In government. The state of Oklahoma
! needs economical budget system just az
much as the nation needed one. great deal q
money can always be saved with such a system
and the entire state will be in due time lowered.
| The national government purchased during the
| war 100000 pairs of shoes and 149 600. 90 4
| bread cans for only 100000 men. 1t bought
! $1,000 sets OF harness for $4,000 animals. IT
DOught 9fo,OOO saddles for $4,000 cavalry horses.
! 1t had at no time as many as 100000 horses and
! mules OF all kinds and for these It bought g.,
! $4,000 haltars Cor seven apiece, 100000
/ noSebags (tlVe eaCh0, IL bought 7l2,0O0 sets O
! spur straps (36 sets Of spur straps for each Of
! flcer entitled TO wear spurs) IL bought two
! branding irons for every horse and mule It had
| In service and ordered them to be made OF eE.
! pens!ve copper. II there had been budget
system In use then this would not have hap
! pened for the number that would be needed
| would have been figured in advance, and the
people would have been saved moro than a bill
! lion dollars The same holds good for the state
| OF Oklahoma. II the people OF the state will
| elect Fields governor and elect a republican
| legislature, they may ask for a budget system, a
! new election law and divorce of the bankius
| system from the political system and a genera
! all-round cleaning up OF affairs of state aud
| get II. -
There is always the chance with the electorate
| II one party is in power long that they do not
| change their ways for the good of the public
| they can elect another and get change ot
| service, but the electors must do their duty
| which is TO vote. There are people in Cherokee
| county and other places who do not care %
vote. They say 'let George do It," and a
consequence their candidate is beaten, There
are those on the farm In this county who say
wel, II you win furnish car and pay me a day :
| wages will vote, but 1t can't help me any and
| l VIII not lose my day for it. These people as \
rule are the first 70 raise a fuss when taxes are
high or bank falls or IL things in genera
| are not officially handled to suit them. II is a
| sacred duty to perform TO vote and help mako
| the government in the United States II is a
! privilege which all peoples do not have. 50
| each individual should become Interested in y
and study the qualifications OF candidates and
| parties. And II for any reason they cannot read
and allowed TO vote should by all means
inquire of some one who is not a politician,
which Is the safest candidate for the entire peo-
pie. There is no doubt II John Fields Is elected
| governor and a good house and senate are elect
ed with him, that the people OF Oklahoma Will
feel proud OF their administration, for the re-
| publican party has alwa favored the farme'
| and the laborer far as II is possible for any
| political party 10 do within reason II the pubs
| lie expenses kept within the income it ale
