Man)- more towns die for wnnt of
confidence on the part of the business
men and lack ot public spirit, than
froui opposition of neighboring towns
and adverse surroundings.
If our paper is meeting with your
approval as a newspaper tell your
neighbor who is not receiving it. If
it is not meeting your approval tell
us and wherein.
The picnic season is now upon us
with the usual accompaniments—-
fleas, mosquitoes, grass chiggers and
gnats. Hut there is bushels of fun
in a day's outing, anyhow.
It would l e a g )od plan for "the
Haskell and Cruce fellows to stop
their fighting and climb into the
Fran't Frantz ban I wagon. Some
of you follows hold the mulca while
the band plays Dixie.
Some sOientfic cuss has just dis-
covered there are more disease germs
near the ground than higher up in
the air and the higher a man's nose
the less liable he is to contract di-
ease. This is nice for i.thin lank
man like Mose Mitchell but hard on
little runts like the editor
Some of our good republican friends
came near tearing their undergarm-
ents last week when they read our
democratic ticket, some even went so
far as to accuse the editor of being
a democrat. Now we never said we
were going to vote the ticket. What
we did say was that were we a demo-
crat we would vote the ticket publish-
ed last week. Urethern keep your
shirts on and don't try to willfully
misrepresent your neighbor.
What have the women contributed
toward the upbuilding ot our city?
Many, many things-—aye, more than
can be enumerated in the brief space
at command. There was a time in
Paul's day, when women was looked
upon with something of disfavor.
That was an unchristian era. Today
the situation is vastly different, and
instead of woman being inferior to
man, she has proven herself to be
equal, if not his superior, in many
of the virtues that make for good
citizenship.
During the last few months the
Farmers Union headquarters at Shaw,
nee has more resembled a sub-head-
quarters for the democratic party
than the central office ot a non-poli-
tical organization. It is one of the
fundamental principles of the farmers
union that there shall be no politics
allowed in this organization, butdur-
iug the last few months the mails
have been full ot circulars coming
from headquarters advising the mem
hers to support this or that candidate
at the primary. We do not believe
that any man or set of men have
the right or power to pledge the
Farmers Vnion to the democratic
party or the nominees of the demo-
cratic party but the impression is
gaining ground that this organization
is being lined up in the democratic
fold, and when this shall been accom-
plished, the Farmer.! Union will
follow the Grange and Alliance and
pass out of usefulness, as an order
of mutual benefit ft} the Farmer and
producer.—Okarche 'Times.
Farmers Union
Resolutions.
The following resolutions were
adopted at the meeting of the liar-
field County Union Saturday:
Whereas, it has been said and de.
clared, by some ot the prominent
citizens of Garfield county, that the
Farmers Union is only a democratic
scheme, and tiiat the Union was
principally composed of defeated
candidates, and for their especial
benefit to enable them to secure office,
and that the Union was hatched in
Texas.
Therefore, be it Resolved, that we,
the members of the Garfield County
Union do declare the first part of
said statement an infamous falsehood,
since the Union is absolutely non-
political. That there are loyal re-
publicans and as loyal republicans
and as loyal democrats, also prohibi-
tionists and independents belonging
to the Union.
That we do not deny that the Union
was hatched in Texas. So was the
green bug; and the Union farmers
will soon be as numerous as the green
bugs. At their present rate of increase
the Union farmers, will, when once
tbey begin to move, sweep everything
before them.
We further declare that the Farmers
Union is the greatest organization of
its age in the world. It stands upon
the platform of Love and Justice; and
demands equal rights to all men, and
objects to being cheated, and refuses
to cheat others. It wants "Uncle
Reuben" and all other classes to have
the full bencf.ts of their labor.
And, further, that we, as members
of the Farmers Union, denounce any
efforts on the part ot any members
of this Union, or any newspaper to
use this Union for political purposes.
A. A. IIudnall,
President Garfield County Union.
Is This Correct?
All this hub-bub over the constitu-
tion disfranchising the soldiers serv-
ing in the regular army within the
new state is nothing new.
The organic act, under which the
territory is governed, prohibits the
soldiers, serving at any Oklahoma
fort, or post, from voting. Soldiers
of the regular army never have voted
in Oklahoma. However a soldier
who enlisted in Oklahoma, and claims
his civil residence in the territory can
vote as provided in the federal
states. ---Enid Wave
Dear Experience*
Guthrie, Okla., .June 7.—-Cotton
planters are learning a lesson this
spring, a bit dear, but one they will
remember. Last season they sold
their cotton seed to the oil mill men
for ten and eleven dollars per ton and
are now buying it back from the
same parties fir seeding purposes and
are paying twenty-two dollars for the
same seed.
Result of Primary
At the time of going to preps it
had not been determined whether
Haskell or Cruce was nominated by
the Democrats for governor as the
vote is very close and some counties
have not yet been heard from.
Both men claim the nomination by
less than 500 majority. The nomi-
nees for senator are Boh Owens and
T. P. Gore. The balance of the
ticket is as follows: Insurance Com-
missioner Burke, State Auditor
Trapp, Clerk of Supreme Court
Campbell, Attorney General West,
Chief Mine Inspector Hanraty,
Superintendent Cameron, Treasur-
erer Menefee leads Dunlop by only
a few votes.
Vol. vii, No. ib
Courage and effort alone are requir-
ed to insure victory to the worthy.
In the struggle ot life the good is the
moi;e powerful. It is only when the
giatit lolls by the wayside that CAfiJ
creeps "upon him and inflicts its
woupda. "Thrice is he arm'd who
hath his quarrel just" is not an idle
adage.
Farmers Union
4th OF JULY
At Dover.
4th of July Celebration at Leitch's
Park at Dover. This celebration is
in the hands of the Farmers Union
>f Kingfisher county and all Locals
are invited to join with us in mak-
ing this the biggest Union day ever
known in the county. This cele-
brationis not the doings of Dover
people but simply a straight out
Union proposition wherein they ask
the people of Dover to aid their
solicitors in providing finance and
they will bring the largest crowd to
town that it has ever had at one
time. The farmers are preparing
for a free beef barbecue and many
other popular attractions.
All Unions in the county arc
being asked to contribute to the
program which will assure an in-
teresting time- A Farmers Union
speaker of prominence will be se-
cured and politicians or those who
have axes to grind will find no place
011 the p.iogram- A ball game will
probably be a drawing attraction.
Make arrangements now to come to
Dover and spend the Fourth with
the farmers in Leitch's Grove.
Something will l>e doing all day
long. The following committees
were appointed which are asked to
report at the grove tomorrow, Fri-
day afternoon: Chairman J. A.

Diversified Crops.
Oklahoma will this year demonstrate
the advantages of diversified farming
says the Custer County Clarion. The
voracious green bugs come along and
ate up a large part of the wheat.
This ground does not lie idle but the
wheat farmers who have experience
with all other kind of crops, irn-
mediatly prepared the ground for
corn, cotton, kaffir, potatoes, broom
corn, sorghum, sweet potatoes, castor
beans and other crops.
XJp to this time the weather has
been unfavorable for some of these
crop*, especially has it been difficult
to cultivate the soil which has given
the weeds a start, but if the dry
weather continues the hustling farm-
ers will get the better of the weeds.
If this were an exclusively wheat
country the work of green bugs would
have ment a crop failure as no other
crop would have been planted. One
crop countries whether wheat or cotton
are in a sad plight when failure atenils
the one crop. The diversification of
crops in Oklahoma does not come
with failure of a crop but is practiced
each year. There is not a township
in Oklahoma territory given up to one
crop and in most cases individual
farms produce three or four different
kinds of products besides the ever
present fowls, pigs and cows.
The green bugs caused loss to
Oklahoma but they did not produce
want or stagnation of business.
Don't knock. Help yourself along
by becoming popular, and push your
friends with you. It's" very easy.
Be a good fellow and soon you'll
have a procession of followers. No
man ever helped himself knocking
other people down in character and
business.
