The Land of the Fair Man. For many decades Oklahoma was the redman's home, chosen by him as the choicest spot in bis limitless domain the redman gave up all else if only he might remain in this his Garden of Eden, secure from that great white peril-a swarming civili zation which he comprehended not nor desired. Cut off on all sides by invisible barriers the pathway of civilisation was blazed around and about him until his happy hunting ground alone remained a virgin wilderness. Like the angel with the flaming sword, Uncle Sam stood guard at the gateway and forbade to enter any who had partaken tho fruit of the tree of knowledge. But the old generations passed away. New generations came on, and their dusky tribe bartered; with the white man, exchanging their cat tle for his sugar and tobacco. Their children entered the white man's school. They observed bis ways end their eyes were opened. Thenceforth the glint of gold and the sheen of silver ce.st their magie spell upon his mind, and his heart wa:; stirred with strange desires. Then it was that he bargained with the government, agreeing to share his heritage with the ;?ons and daughters of the white man. This was eU*.M*?ea yearn ago and ?t was then at the crack of a pistol the white flood of civilization surged .iver the border and swept away for ever the clustering tepees and tho curling &mckp of the Indian camp fires. Oklahoma is now *the white rein's land. In it a new kingdom has been '. o .'lided; the kingdom of the sover eign people. Here the ballot;shall be the sceptre, and the voice of? the people, the royal command. It is now the land of freedom. Untrammeled by tradition, unde faced by the landmarks of a less modern civilization, a giant young Common wealth ls arising here which Is already the model and envy of older units in our great national structure. Oklahoma bids all men welcome, so they be honest. She stands i a storehouse of golden opportunities to all who come within her borders with clean hands and a valiant heart. Wealth ls here for the earning. She thrusts riches upon no man, but pays generous divldens to thrift and energy. The people of Oklahoma are hon est. They have thrift and energy. Drawn from the best young blood of older States, they have banded to gether here to establish a govern ment where equal rights to all and special privileges to none shall be no idle boast. The poor man will be protected, and wealth will not encroach, but protection shall not be for the poor alone. Equality in protection and equality in opportunity is the aim. A fair show and a square deal will be meted out to the Investor, the home-seeker, the tenant or the la borer. The Oklahoma constitution, that remarkable document which was prepared for and by the people, pro vided, among other things, for the "initiative and referendum", by which the people become the court of last resort, and with whom Hes the power to Inaugurate any or all laws. The constitution also provi ded for the establishment of a cor poration commission, whose duty it should be to supervise and regulate the acts of corporate bodies In such a manner as to prevent extortionate charges for services to the public. Contrary to the fears of some it is neither the Intent of the constitu tion nor the aim of the commission th rob all corporate organizations of a fair and legitimate profit on the capital Invested and employed by the stockholders of Oklahoma cor porations. Oklahoma welcomes capital right ly invested and honestly managed. The constitution has even made pro vision for the exemption from mu nicipal taxation of any new industry for a period of five years, whenever any town desires to offer such an exemption for the purpose of induc ing new industries to locate. Indi viduals cannot build railroads, nor telegraphs nor extensive telephone and lighting systems. Natural gas was piped to Oklahoma City at a cost of over ono million dollars. No individual would have furnish ed such a fund and no branch of the State government wilf ever attempt to deprlvo the shareholders In that enterprise of a just profit on the money they hazarded in tho invest ment. Oklahoma's laws are Just, and they will be justly administered. Oklahoma, the chosen home of the redman, was far-famed among In dian tribes as the "Land of the Fair God." Now that the, Indian no lon ger rules and the white man bolds full sway, Oklahoma shall be known as the ' Land of the Fair Man." MULES KOK SALE. Two Good Mules and a 2-horse Wagon for sale.

G., R. F. D. No. 1. PROMPT ATTENTR*>N. In Memory of Ailss Ida Stonecypher. In the still, dark hours of night, when everything was wrapped in slumber, the death angel entered the home of her uncle, M. H. Mc Jukln, where she and her mother, Mrs. M. E. Scott, had made their home for several years, and took the loving, kind and affectionate daugh ter, Ida Ben Stonecypher, and bore her away over the dark river and into her heavenly home, where there is rest, sweet rest. The . home is lonely now, for no more ls the lov ing voice beard; but they have the sweet assurance that their loss is her eternal gain. "But oh for a touch ot a vanished hand And a sound of a voice that ls still." Hers was a quiet life; her gentle influence and the good seed that she unconsciously scattered will be felt for years to come. She leaves an aged mother and one brother, who resides near Townville. She was born at the old Mc Junkin homestead, near 8outn Union, July 4th, 1863, and joined old South Union Baptist church in ber early teens. At the time of her death she was a mem ber of Zebulon Baptist church, near Toccoa, Qa. Sometimes we do not understand the Providence that has taken her from her mother, for they were al most inseparable; but we bow in humble submission to the infinitely wise and perfectly good Qod, who must always do things right. Her father, Ben Stonecypher, died near Athens, Qa., in her infancy. The. aged mother and brother have the sympathy of'hosts of friends.
