About The Okla-
homa System.
Oklahoma lias gone into state ills
pensary system of handling the liquor
bus aass. It is claimed that the
governor has selected a thoroughly
honest man aud a st.aight prohibition.
1st as ti e head of the liquor depart-
ment. If that is so, and in addition
to being honest he is a man who can-
not be worked, then we arc inclined
to think that the Oklahoma plan will
turn out well.
The South Carolina system tell
down badly. It was the source of
more scandal and graft than anything
the state ever tried, but that was
because a lot of grafters got in charge
There seems however to be something
about the whiskey business that is
demoralizing. It will be surprising
it sooner or later there is not a bad
smell around the Oklahoma 6late

There is a great deal of difference
between a position made by a re-
sponsible institution and one made
by an institution existing upon the
attractiveness of the advertisements
put out, rather than upon the Bolid-
reputable, and praiseworthy work
done by it. People are becoming
to realize that things are vital im-
portance required instruction, ef-

Preparasory Bunnese House having

the commedation of those who
have attended this inrtitution than
to any news paper advert icing they
have done.

S, A. Rogers,
Dover
They rolled me over a barrel and let
me drain for an hour and I Anally
come to but it was mighty near good
bye vain world. When I was 10
yours old I fell out of an apple tree
and broke my leg. Between that
time aud the time when I was 21
years old 1 was nearly gored to death
by a bul^ chewed up by a dog, run
over by a wagon and bittin by
rattlesnake.
'1 have been farming now for 15
years and never struck a right good
crop yet. When there was a general
crop failure of course 1 got mine
along with the rest and when the
rest were having a run ot good luck
something always hit inc. One year
a hail storm ruined all the wheat 1
had and hardly nit another man in
the neighborhood but the blamed
hail storin seemed to go out of its
way to get me. Chinch bugs were
always a lot worse iu my fields than
in anybody else's. Finally 1 puit
raising wheat and put everything in
corn. That year there was a rattling
good wheat crop and corn was a
plumb failure. My neighbors all
had wheat and made big money i
had mighty hard work to raise enough
money to pay my taxes.
"Last year I had two ot the best
horses I had killed by lightning just
when harvest was ready to gatUer,
and the best cow I had died trom
the bite of a rattlesnake. This
year there was a cyclone tbaf went
out of its regular'course a mile and
tore ray house aud barn all to pieces.
It broke my wife's leg and nearly
killed two of the children. My
mother-in-law_was staying with us
1 >ut she wasn't hurt a particle just
seems as if 1 couldn't have a bit of
good luck. No, I hadn't any cyclone
insurance when the cyclone hit me,
1 had paul premiums on a policy tor
three years but it had run out just
about a week before this cyclone
came along. There is some hoodoo
after me. I bet that it will follow
me to my grave and that the team
that is hauling the hearse will run
away on the road to the cemetery .
