The county commissioners today
made an estimate of the total expenses
of Canadian county for the coming
year at $70,666, and decided that h
levy of 20 mills would be required to
raise money. This includes the sep-
erate school fund, the special bridge
tax and the sinking fund for paying off
the indebtedness of the county.
The petition of G. C. Cockrell for
saloon license was not granted, for
the reason that the hoard was not
satisfied with the names of the thirty
freeholders appeared on the petition.
There was a strong remonstrance
| against the granting of the license.
Cockrell conducts the saloon at the
northwest corner of Choctaw avenue
ami Woodson street, and his license
will expire the latter part of this
month.

Splitting Headache.
Can be often relieved by a nerve
sedative, but the scientific way of
treating a headache is to go right down
to the real cause, or root of the trouble
and cure it with Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. It is the only perfect cure for
headache, dizziness, constipation, and
is free from the dangerous after effects
which so frequently follow the use of
i headache powders. Try it. Sold by
all druggists at ."0c and $1.00. Money

EDITOR DEMOCRAT —
The writer hereof, took occasion on
the 4th inst . to attend a country pic-
nic in this county, for recreation, and
for purpt>ses otherwise. Among the
facts ascertained, while mingling with
the crowd, was the fixed fact that the
farmers of this county are very much
disgruntled with the local commercial
status of things in general, and of
El Reno in particular. They complain
of the low prices offered here for their
products, and the high prices asked
for the products they must buy.
Whether justified or not they seem to
think that the commercial, the ftnan
cial and the railroad interests of the
town are controled by selfish greedy
and avaricious men. They seem in
tensely in earnest to establish coopera-
tive elevators and are'talking of co-
operative stores and kindred enterpri-
ses.
There were two farmers who ad-
dressed the gathering and they were
neither slow of speech nor barren ot
ideas. One speaker remarked that it
was a fact that once in every year
the farmers owned all the clothes we
wear, all the food we eat. and all such
Asked the question why it was that
the ravs material composing these arti-
cles of consumption was always so
low in price and while the same ma-
terials when finished for utility, or
consumption, was always so high. The
speaker accounted for this condition
of affairs upon the grounds that all
factors of commercialism were organ-
ized for the furtherance of their re-
spective interests, except the farmer
and a large class of wage earners.
He represented the farmers as bat-
tling for their rights as individual
skirmishers without organization, with
out discipline and without leadership.
While all other departments of bus-
iness were operating their interests
likt* well disciplined armies, equipped
with law and well paid attorneys, in
stead of Ciatlin guns and the munitions
of physical force. Your writer asked
one of these speakers on the quiet,
how the farmers could expect to bene
fit themselves from organization and
discipline as he said other industries
had done. His reply was "We ex-
pect to get better paid for our labor
and toil the same as other industries
do." I told him it seemed to me he
was simply changing his method of
industrial warfare, that it was simply
a preparation for a battle of giants
trained and disciplined. That it
infant industrial strife and war in a
house divided against itself; that h<
ought to for see the results. Place two
Corbets in the arena as pugilists for
a purse, and both are likely to bite the
dust, if either survives it will be pure-
ly accidental. Such must ever be the
contest between equals; and if between
unequals. they should be eliminated
from the race of life and the struggle
for existence among the rational man-
hood. I tried to impress the man that
it was laws or want of laws that fixed
th«' condition of all peoples in all forms
of human government That it was
nothing but law. that once made a
part of our population slaves and the
parents of Hlaves When the law died
chattel slavery died with it. I tried to
impress him that if th > farmers felt
their rights denied them, they should
boldly enter the arena of politics, in
a party of their own. and secure a
proper representative of their inter-
ests in the legislative hall> of the state
and nation. I told him to gaze upon
th«- green-eyed monsters that had been
i< < ting sumptuously in the legisla-
ti halls of Missouri, when Folk
