The letter 'e' is perhaps the
most noticeable of any in the al-
phabet, as it is never in cash but
always in debt, never out of dan-
ger but is in peace. It is the be-
ginning of existence and the
commencement of ease and the
end of trouble. Without it there
would be no water, no life, no
biead, no meat, no gospel, no
Jesus, no father, no mother, no
brother, no sister, no wife, home,
Heaven or Hell.—Ex.
Mrs. Beryl Sulzer, Secy.

Uncle Sam is finding that the
one who attempts to build a can-
al gets more advice from neigh-
bors than the man who starts to
build a bungalow.—Guthrie Dai-
ly Leader.
The man with a clear conscience
and patches on his trousers, gets
more out of this world than the
man who goes beyond his means
to be fashionable.—Ex.
It is to laugh, when the Okla-
homan insists that the people of
this state voted "by an over-
whelming majority" to make Ok-
lahoma City the capital of the
state. It that was the case, why
didn't the Oklahoman at the time-
print the result of the canvass of
the vote, or the assertion that a
canvass of the vote ever was
made? Why hasn't it ever print-
ed it? Why don't it print it now?
There never has been anything
to show Oklahoma City was made
the capital, save the di6tum of
Charles N. Haskell, and he made
that before there had ever been
time to count the votes.—Gazette.
valuations certsfied to by some
poor devil who has had to mort-
gage his farm, no doubt, to keep
it from being sold for taxes. Do
they adopt this method in seeking
a valuation for the railroads, tele-
phone lines and other public ser-
vice corporations? Not much.
If they did they would find that
many of them are taxed for a
great deal less than the mortgage
they carry. In assessing the
farmer there is one important
fail overlooked, and that is the
earning capacity of the property
assessed. Do you know that there
are hundreds of farms in Okla-
homa that did not earn enough to
pay the taxes on them? Well,
there was, and good ones, too.
You bet the farmer pays his share
and he pays it. There is no way
for the farmer to get out. He
can't beat it like many others do.
Did you ever know a farmer from
unjust taxation after it had been
levied on him? Not much. When
a farmer gets stuck on taxes, lie
stays stuck. The only satisfac-
tion he has he can swat the fel-
lows who stuck him, and does
when he is not too partisanly
hide bound.—Waukomis Hornet.

Governor Wilson left his home
at Seagirt and spent seven days
cruising aboad a yacht in order
that he might be free from inter-
ruption while writing his speech
of acceptance. Seven days in
which to write practically four
words, "I accept the nomination!"
—Jet Visitor.
There was no ball game here
last Sunday, Cashion failing to
make appearance for the game.
How much better it would be for
the community were Sunday base
ball discontinued. Aase ball is a
great advertising feature of a
town, but we do not consider
Sunday playing a very healthy
advertisement for any town.—
Crescent News.
Last week an erstwhile Metho-
dist preacher, who is editing a
Democratic newspaper out in the
Panhandle of Oklahoma, was over
on the east side of the state try-
ing to align the Democrat votes
for ex-Governor Haskell, so it
was said. We recall when this
self-same red-headed minister of
the Gospel attempted to put a
crimp in Socialism during 1910.
If he was as successful aligning
Democracy for Mr, Haskell as he
was killing off Socialism there
will be no occasion for alarm.

The Beloit Call tells this one:
An old gentleman was trying to
cross a Main street crossing, and
The Farmer
Pays His.
The Democratic State Board of
Equalization seems to especially
have it in for the farmers in the
matters of valueation, and are
leaving no stone unturned to
prove that the farmer is the man
who is trying to dodge his share
of the taxes. The governor has
even gone so far as to dig up
Wall Street is the only place
where money can be loaned with
any certainty that re-payment
can be had instantly when want-
ed. If the borrower fails to pay
when the loan is called, the stock
exchange affords a market where
the collateral can be instantly
sold. For commercial paper
there is no such market as the
stock exchange affords for stock
securities. Commercial paper is
a dead assett on the lending bank's
hands until it matures. There
should be a market where com-
mercial paper could be bought
and sold—a place where banks
could have their holdings of com-
mercial paper rediscounted. If
banks could rediscount their com-
mercial paper they would never
be obliged to refuse loans. Busi-
ness would have the use of the
money which now goes to Wall
Street. There would be no cred-
it panics.—Ex.
All known wheat receipt rec-
ords for St. Louis were broken

factory, the boys down on the
farm are rushing their surplus to
market.—Guthrie Daily Leader.
