AN INDIAN CRADLE SONG.
Swing thee low in thy cradlo soft,
Deep hi tho dusky wood!
Swing theo low and swing nloft
Sleep as a papoose should,
.For safe in your little birchen nest
.Quiet will come and peace and rest,
' If tho little papoose is good.
The coyoto howls on the prairie cold,
And tho owlet hoots in tho tree,
And the big moon shines on tho little
. chUd
As it slumbors peacefully.
So swing thee high in try little nest
And swing thee low and tako the rest
That the night wind brings to thee.
Father lies on tho fragrant ground,
x Dreaming of hunt and fight,
And tho pino leaves rustle with
mournful, sound
AH through tho solemn night;
But tho little papoose in his birchen
nest
I swinging low and takes his rest,
Till the sun brings tho morning
light.
. Southern Workman,
THOWING AWAY
Mankind loves its chains.
All human progress is slow and all changes and inno
vations are stubbornly resisted.
Tho establishment of post boys mot violent resistenee
in days long siueo gouo by. Then eame the stage coach,
that had tho same opposition to overcome. Following
stage coaches, the railroad was a. bitterly fought.
Every useful invention, designed to work economy in
the cost of xn'oductioii has had the same reception. The
spinning jenny caused riots, tho linotype, strikes, and so
on down the list.
The pages of history are filled with repetitions of oppo
sition to progress. Occasionally, in the life of nations, the
conservative triumphs and fastens the existing conditions
as tho irrevocable law of the land. Then progress ends
as in India and China.
It is this conservation, born of ignorance due to isola
tion, and commonly called mossbackism in Oregon, this
resistance to progress, that has retarded the growth of the
state. It is .strongest in old communities. It is strongest
in Southern Oregon in Ashland.
Every innovation and attempt at progress has had to
fight its way at Ashland. A sewer system was only se
cured after a violent struggle. Paving made such a battle
that an attempt was made to recall the mayor who had
fathered the movement.
Small wonder then that when an application for an in-
terurban electric line franchise is made by responsible
parties, the franchise is rejected. It wouhi disturb exist
ing conditions. It would bring in new blood that would
endanger the control of the small coterie that rules Ash
land financially and invest the profits elsewhere. It would
mean a degree of development the mossbaek maioritv
does not want.
The conflict between the progression and the retrogres
sion exists everywhere. If the state is worth fighting for,
progressives are bound to win in eveiy American commu
nity. If it is not, the place is abandoned to its leathargy
by the red-blooded and left to peacefully vegetate.
Opportunity has knocked unbidden at Ashland's door
and been, refused admission. Ashland must now seek op
portunity, and will be lucky if opportunity does not reply:
"But they who doubt or hesitate,
Seek me in vain, and uselessly implore,
I answer not, and I return no more."

NEAR RIOTS OVER
MOVING CAPITOL
OF
Guthrie Citizens Seek Alt) of Courts
to Prevent Placing in Effect of
Saturday's Election Oklahoma
City Was Chosen by Voters.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Juno 13.
A second injunction was sought
today in tho federal courts seeking
to prevent tho removal of tho statu
records nnd documents from Guthrie
to Oklahoma City, which Saturday
won in nn election for relocation of
the state capital.
Guthrie citizens who arc baqking
the suit baso tlioir action on the
ground that by an agreement in a tie
at the time that the state was admit
ted to the union tho capital was to
remain at Guthrie until .1013. They
declare that an election hold under
the constitution of tho statu has no
powor to change tho location of tho
capital, which was fixed by federal
agreement.
A temporary restraining order was
issued by the state courts directing
mat tno records should not he re
moved. Tho state offices, it is de
clared, had decided to disregard thin
injunction, on the ground that an
election held under the initiative
clause of tho constitution takes im
mediate effect, nnd being a direct
expression of the people undor the
constitution, supersedes tho injunc
tion power of the state courts." A pe
tition for an injunction was there
fore filed in the federal courts.
Excitement marked the election
and near-riotinir occurred in Outline
following the announcement that Ok
lahoma City had won and that the
cauital would be removed. The state
seal was taken from the office of the
secretary of stittc and rushed to
Oklahoma City in an automobile by
W. B. Anthony, .secretary to Go
eroor Haskell.
Haskell is in Oklahoma City to
day. He take the position that the
election held under the initiative
must bo binding at once aud that Ok
lahoma City is the capital without
a formal proclamation being neeot
sarj.
