Don't You Think the
The article in this issue of the
paper on subject "Why Taxes
I are so High," is based on the
1 financial statements sworn to
by democratic county clerks as
set forth in article and by using
figures in clerks statement,with
a pencil and a piece of paper,
the truth of everything said in
article can be ascertained by
every taxpayer in the county,
who can add and subtract
figures.
The Oklahoman Editor is not
quite sure that Secretary Taft's
speech in Oklahoma City will
lsse him the republican party's
nomination next year; but quite
sure that it will lose him the
Presidency. Such editorial ex-
pressions, as above, should be
kept away from "Teddy" until
after statehood is secured. Ted-
dy might not let Oklahoma get
a chance to "swat" his friend
Taft with seven electoral votes,
by vetoing statehood.
The county tickets have been
completed and are now in the
hands of the printer. The fol-
lowing candidates nominated
on Independence League ticket
have resigned, and their names
will not appear on the ballot,
W. J. Jackson for county attor-
ney, J. Lusk Maulding, for
county clerk, Clias Manasco for
district clerk and Miss Almetta
Williams for county school sup-
erintendent. We are sorry the
above candidates resigned and
should all of the rest of the
candidates on the "Independ-
ence League ticket" be elected
think that they may have some
regrets also.

W^ntprl1 TTnrqpq tn Pastilrp In 1876 Samuel J. Tilden, de-
wanted. worses toiraarare. i nocratic candidate for Presi-
ave a gooc _ i s y^ j instructed Democratic
National convention to make
the democratic national plat-
form as near like the republi-
can platform as possible, and
from that time up to the pre-
sent the distinguishable differ-
ence between the two old par-
ties has been in the party name.
The leaders are quarrelling to-
day as to what planks shall be
used in the respective platforms
in 1908. The republicans, as a
matter of fact always take the
choice lumber and democratic
platform is made up out of what
is left.
Needs a Rest?
The valuation of this county in
round numbers is $053,000 more than
it was ten years ago and the tax levy
for county purposes is 4i mills higher
than it was ten years ago. Ten
years ago the tax levy for all county
purposes amounted to $25,400. Last
pear it amounted to $45,900, or an in-
crease of $20,600. This increase
nlone is enough to pay cash contract
price of new court bouse in two
years,
Ten years ago the county indebted-
ness was reduced $11,603 in one
year. Last year the county in-
debtedness,outside of the court house
indebtedness, was increased $1,229 00.
Ten years ago the management of
the affairs of this county were in the
hands of Populists. Since that time
up to ihe present Democrats have
managed the affairs of the county.
The difference in the cost, to tax-
payers of udministration of county
affairs ten years and last year is al-
most enough to pay cash down, the
contract price of the county's new
court house in a single year.
Cash contraet price of the new
court house was $40,000 in round
numbers. Take sworn financial
statements of the county clerk as
published in this issue of paper, and
with a paper and pencil you can fig-
ure out and see that statemenis
above made are true. The rest
the voters in this county gave the
rooster on their ballots in 1894
proved a good lhing for the taxpay-
ers in the county and we firmly be-
lieve that if taxpayers this year
when they reach county ballot would
pass the rooster up and place their
stamp on the ballot In circle under
"Liberty Bell" that it would again
prove a good thing for the taxpayers
and at same time serve as a valuable
lesson to the Rooster.
The Peoples Voice did not ac-
cidentally or intentionally omit
the Wails resolution from pro-
ceedings of Independence Lea-
gue convention, for reason that
Mr. Wails introduced no such
resolution in convention. When
Democrat-Topic stated that
Franing and Allan discussed
such a resolution it stated that
which was not true—nothing
unusual for Democrat-Topic to
do. Mr. Wails did in conven-
vention get up and state as an
idea of his own that a room in
Court House should be set aside
and known as a Farmers Room
and be reserved for the use of
the Farmers. He knew of many
Court Houses in Kansas where
such a room was set aside for
the use of the Farmers but it
was not introdoced as a resolu-
tion or discussed by the con-
vention.

Miss Lora Hardie Dead.
"Tread lightly; there is crepe on
the door."
There has been scarcely a greater
shock In this community, nor more
universal sorrow, than when, on last
Thursday at noon, it was announced
that Miss Lora Hardie was dead. She
had been sick for about two weeks;
and was thought to be on the way to
speedy recovery, but she took a de-
cided turn for the worse, and soon
passtd away.
Lora Emma Hardie was the third
daughter of John and Emma Hardie;
was born in Carroll county, Iowa,
March 18th, 1882. Came to Norman
with her parents in September, 1903.
She was converted at 17 years of age,
and joined the M. E. church, remain-
ing a firm believer in the Christian
religion, aud maintaining a beautiful
consistent,' christian life to the day

For the Constitution and
Statehood.
The old party politicians in this
county are trying to make it appear
as though the Independence League
ticket would poll a very light vote.
We don't blame them for trying to
do so. They know thut many voters
always try to be on the winning 9ide
in a contest and by making it appear
that the "Independence League
Ticket" was not going to amount to
much, hope lo hold this class of vot-
ers to the old party tickets. The
facts, however, are that all old party
politicians are badly frightened and
won't recover from the scare the In-
dependence League movement has
given them until they hear from the
polls and some of them will collapse
when they do hear. The taxpayers
in this county are not going to let
things drift along as they have been
drifting for the past ten years. With
practically no increase in the popula-
tion of Ihe county within the past
ten years and with little public im-
provements made, taxpayers can't
see why the cost of county govern-
ment should have trebled. In 1002
the cost of the county government
was *24,000, In 1003, $39,497, in 1904
$51,2(iH, in 1005 $40,363, in 1900 $47,704,
and in 1907, $03,884, as shown in round
numbers on the County Clerks finan-
cial statements. The Increase from
$19,198 in 1897 to $24,593, in 1902 was a
natural Increase andto beexpected;b it
the increase of county expenditures
from 1902 to 11(07, is too great to es-
cape the notice of the taxpayers and
the Democratic candidates realize it
and are shaking in their boots. Just
ask one of the Democratic candidates
"why the county expenditures have
increased so fearfully within the past
five years, and it Is dollars to dough-
nuts that he will reply, "I am for ti e
Constitution and Statehood."
is gone down while it is yet day."
We are sometimes puzzled to under-
stand the wisdom and providence of
God in removing one from our midst
who was so bright and cheerful and
beloved. But when the curtains
are drawn aside and the clouds have
drifted away, then shall we know and
understand.
"His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour:
The bud may have a bitter taste
But sweet will be the flower."
God knows best. We must submit
to His will.
Miss Lora was devoted to her
home. She never tired of her un-
selfish service to others. She was
greatly beloved by everyone who
knew her. She had a bright smile,
a kind word for all, and an unselfish
service for every one in need. "She
is not dead, but livetb." Her beauti-
ful life and her Christian influence
survives this mortality. Her life was
truly short, but a busy one, truly
devoted to any good word and work.
A father and mother, three sisters
and two brothers mourn her depar-
ture; and this entire community join
the sorrowing ones in their bereave-
ment.
She was buried from the family
residence in West Norman on Sunday
afternoon. One of the largest con-
courses ever assembled in this com-
munity was present to pay this last
tribute of respect and to show their
appreciation of her beautiful life and
character .The funeral services were
conducted by the ltev. W. J. Moore,
assisted by Rev. R. L. Grant.
To the bereaved ones we extend
our deepest sympathy in this sad
hour; and pray that some bright day,
you may join the loved one gone in
"That land of pure delight, where
saints immortal reign."

Gone in the bloom of her beauty,
Gone from the world of labor and

From her post of earthly duty.
To take her place with the angels

And sing the songs she used to sing,
The faraway land of life and light,
The house and home of Zion's King.
