This is a question submitted under the republican powers given in tho state constitution.

The joint resolution providing for tho submission of this question simply provided that the question, submitted should bo, not the anproval of any par ticular act of tho legislature, but the following proposition ; "Do you favor tho state of Oklahoma selecting and securing u site for the location o a capital city, said situ to be owned and controlled by, and the lots therein sold for the benefit of, the state?"

I feci that the country is 'indeed to bo congra'ulated upon tho election of Mr. Taft. I havo known him intimnto iy for many years und I havo a pecu liar feeling for him, because through out that time he worked for the same object, with the same purposes and ideals. I do not bellve there could bo found in ull the country a man so well fitted to bo President. He is not only absolutely fearless, absolutely disinterested uud upright, but ho has tho widest acquaintance with all our citizens. He would be as emphatically a Pres ident of tho plain peoplo as Lincoln, yet not Lincoln himself would bo freer from the least taint of demogogy, the least tendency to arouse or appeal to class hatred of any kind. He has a peculiar and intimate knowledge of and sympathy with the needs if all our poople of tho farmer, 1 of the wage earner, of tho uuslness man, of tho property owner. fso matter what a man's occupation or soci I poniifon, no matter what his creed, his col r or tho section of the country from which he comes, if he is an honest, hard working man who tries to do hit duty toward his neighbor and toward the country, ho can rest assur ed that he will havo In Mr. Taft the most upright of representatives and . . t f tne most ieariess oi cnainpions. Mr. Trft stamli against privileges and he stands pre-eminently bread principles of American lor the citizen- Rhlp which Ho nt the foundation of our I national well being. RAILROAD CHARIER. Ochiltree, Enid and Southwestern to the Front. Last week It. E. ay lor, of Canadian meu Willi tne Attorney uonor.ii tor ins consideration and approval, tho char- U'r of the Ochiltree, Enid, and South- western Railroad Coni any, an enter I'nse timt they are promoting inrougn u 8tock company. The capital stock of me organization is omj,iuj it is pro posed to construct and maintain the line from Dalhart. Texas, to Ochiltree, Texas, a distanoo of 101 miles. Tills will he the first link in tho line, and vhen it has been completed, the road will be continued to Enid, Oklahoma. Tho road will run through Dallam, Moore Hutchinson, Hansford and Ochilerce counties. Tho charter was granted and tho new roud will bo pushed along. It will take time and patience for railroads are rot buslt in a day and it may take longer than the peoplo in those counties realize and they may get discouragvd ere the smoke of the train is ccn in tho distance. Tho best way will bj to woik, talk and boost, in stead of croaking The united elTorls of the people will do wonders and will even build railroads, A road in neede and a road will come llii'gms (Tex.) News. The above railroad i the one which is chartered to pass through tho south side of Beavor county on the South Flats and the people In that vicinity are quite hopeful over tho p ospects of a road at an mtrly date Wu trust that tin ir fondest hopes may be reol ized but if they arc it will take a whole lot of hard work from the people in that respective locality. Such pro jects are only pmhed to completion with lots of hard work and porslntenco. However, the people in that country are all rights when it comes to stlcklo itiveness and all they need is to got to gether and stay together and work, push and boost. Read C. T.

Qovcrnor Haskell Proclaims Thanks giving Day The custom established by tho Pil grim fathers has been universally adopted throughout this grund and glorious nation where God reigns and the people rule. This custom is an ex pression of the fact that among a free peoplo the blessings and joys of life outnumber Its sorrow and griefs. "To God wo owe all ; every good and per fect gift cometh from Him." His blessings to us this year have been manifold anil abundent and the earth has been a generous mother and has yielded a bounteous and a fruitful harvest so that during the winter none of our peoplo will feel tho pangs of hunger or want; Therefore, in accordance with tho es tablished custom and witli the laws of tho state, I hereby declare and pro claim Thursday, tho 20th day of No vember, A. D. 1008, a public holiday ,to bo observed as a day of thanksgiving, praiso and prayer. I recommend that our citizens as sembled in their pIhccs of worship and around tueir hearthstones and return thankB to an all-wise Creator for Ills goodness and blessings unto us bb a people. In witness whoieof, I havo hereunto set my hand and caused tho great seal of tho suto of Oklahoma to bo hereun to affixed, this Oth day of November, In the year of our Lord,Ninoteen Hun dred und Eight, of tho Independence of the United States of America, tho One Hundred and Thirty-third. Attest: 0. N. HASKELL. BILL CROSS, Governor. Secretary of Stuto. Your Ore jtlng. I Havo you ever stopped to think how many say "good morning" or "how do you do?" There are as many different ways of saying these simple words ns there arc foreign salutations, or ways orshaking hands and wo all know our friends and enemies and judge peoplo by their hatulshake, says the Ladles' World. Your greeting may bo gracious or repellent, heartfelt or surly, accord ing to inllectlou or intonation, though you havo no intention of making it otherwise than ourteous. It Is all hab it, and a habit thn ought bo watched. It Is very easy to accent tho morning J inslead of the good, and a bad habit stlcketli to one lik a brother. We say "How do you do." but tho French say "How do jou curry yourself?,"the Gor man "How goes it?" or "How do you find yourself?" the Italians "How do you stand?" In Russia the salutation is ''Be well" or "How do you live on?" Tho Arabians and Turks aro more ro ligious in their greetings, saying "God grant thee His favors" ami "Bo under tin care of God." The Ohlnco and Per laus are more practical in their expressions of "Have you eaten your rice?" and "May thy shadow never grow less " But all thes. salutations can fall like benedictions or they can have the dopr ssing effect of sirlloless recognition Ex. Jack London's New Book. Jack Loudon has just written a book of H'2,000 words entitled "Martin Ed en." THE PACIFIC MONTHLY has purchased for $7,C00 the serial rights for this vivid story. It began in the September numbor of THE PACIFIC MONTHLY and will run for twelve mouths. 'Martin Eden" is a character study tne story ot a llgliter-a lighter bb a newsboy in the alleys of San Francisco ; a fighter as a rowdy in slums; and finally, a fighter for education and cul ture, struggling against the odds of common birth and vulgar environment, with a desperation of courage that pre sents a powerful blending of brutality of strength with sublimity of purposo. His inspiration is a woman of tho higher-sphere of life, but hi motive is the mighty impulse that animates a soul and bruin born tnoxpaid until fetter ing ignorance is sundered and ignoble influence trimpled underfo.it. It is not too much to say of "Martin Eden" that It posseses more of fascina tion and virility, grips tho Imagination and tho sympathies more konly, i.ml imparls nioro of courage, than any book produced in years. Send 50 cents in stamps to THE PA CIFIC MONTHLY and they will mall you the PACIFIC MONTHLY for six months beginning with the September number, in which the first installment of London's story appears.
