When Pride omis Between .
So many of the little chafing prob-
lems of married life could be mastered
so many of the mists of misunderstand-
ing could be dissipated by the sun-
shine of love so many of the discords
in the music of home could bo trans-
lated into harmonies if false pride did
not so ntcn come between writes
William George Jordan in the April
Delineator.
True pride is the guardian and pro-
tector of what is best in us ; falso pride
is tho sullen defender and apologist of
our weakness.
Life has so much real pain and sor-
row so many dark clouds floating over
the sky of homo cure and trouble that
seemingly no human foresight can pre-
vent that it seems almost extrava-
gance to manufacture troubles morely
to offer them as sacrifices on the alter
of vanity this falso pride.
Peter Riley of Wakita was here this

Tuesday afternoon II Brown Alder-
s m of Now York reached Hooker on
iii- trip tin nigh the ricetion crossed l.j
c anm Fe lno frou Rito i N. M..
Wool war 1 on tue eat. He i. e
c unmerciai ngent and is looking up 1 1 e
imoiint of business there will be hai -died
by the road when constructed.
An informal reception was given
hi n at Judge Stephenson's ofllce Tue
day opening and the businers for which
ic is making this trip discussed. He
rtxpresod himself as agreeably sur-
r sed at the development and richness
this seeti in. nivt stated that from
w tat he had seen he thought UO per
ci-ntotit was subject to successful
igriculture. He spoke of tho amount
f coal to be shipped from the Raton
neighborhood an amount almost suf-
icient to keep a railroad busy when
'ie new mines are opened. As to the
onstructiou he stated that the road
'rom Raton to Dea Moines is to be
.nmpleted llrst to make an outlet for
die coal and that work on tho Wood-
ward ond is to bo discontinued and the
whole force put to work grading this
way from Des Moines. That means
that the grade ' is to be brought into
Hooker from the west instead of tho
east as has been expected.
George A. Wilson of Kuhn has just
eturned from a trip to Raton Trini-
dad and other points whore he Inter-
viewed the preBldont and other officials
if the road and the report he brings is
the same as that stated above. He
states also that the road does not ox-
oect to ask bonuses of the people along
the line but they do expect to be sup-
plied with right-of- way. This can be
accomplished by the peoplo by having
each township take the matter up
and get the concessions from those
affected. This is not asking much of a
bonus from the people in proportion td
the benefits to be derived for years to
come. Early attention to this matter
by the people along tho survey will be
a help to tho promoters and facilitate
the early complothn of tho line.

Tho 17th annual Encampment of the
Grand Army of tho Republic Depart-
ment of Oklahoma will conveno at
Enid Mny 22 and remain in session
for three days inclusive. This will be
the greatest turn out of foternns of
the civil war ihat has over been held
in Oklahoma and of the doepost inter
est to the Comrads. Arrangements
are being made to make it a great suc-
cess In evory respect Enid Is ambi
tious as a town and community to
make the old boys feel that no mistake
was made when the Encampment was
located at thin point. She Is already
putting on her boet clothes for this oc-
casion and she purposes to give the
boys tho host tlmo thuy havo ever had

Enid is the easiest town in the State

Democrat For Sheriff .
The Herald this week takes pleasure
i announcing the candidacy of David
rr McNeil jf Floris who is u candi-
ute for nomination for tho ofllce of
tioriff of Heaver county subject to the
vill of tho Democratic party.
Mr McNeil is one of the prosperous
(armors of near Floris who has helped
.o make Beaver county what tho is to-
lay by having faith in her agricultural
value. He came hero during 1003 and
since that time has given his attention
to farming and has made a success of it.
He is not running for tho otllco of
Sheriff becauso there arc no other can-
didates but becauso he wants tho ofllce
and thinks that he is able to till the
same Ho is acquainted with the
duties of the office and has the courage
to enforce the law as written without
fear or favor. His card says "Voto
for Prohibition and Enforcement of
Law " which indicates that he caters
to no class or ring but makcB tho race
promising equal justica to all and an
administration of his duties without
partiality or restriction.
His party will no doubt think well of
s candidacy
i w
eeks for Superintendent
of Schools .
t W Meeks of Zelma who nn-
Miunccs in this isue as a Democratic
imdhlate for Superintendent of Schools
f Beaver county is an educationnl
nan. He has taught in botli common
md high schools for fifteen years. Was
principal of Catlin Illinois Seminary
a school of first class. Has been iduu.
IHed with county suporintendency of
chools in Illinois. Took a full course
n ono of the best Normal Schools of
Ohio also a three-years course in Illi-
nois Wesleyan University. Ho be-
lieves and practises modern metluHlc of
teaching music in our schools and is an
advocate of mental and physical culture
practiso in ail our schools.
The constant changes of text-books
at the behest of son.io agent or corpo-
ration thus incuring large expense to
the tux-payer and patron he most
heartily condemns.
Mr Mocks has a knowledge of plane
surveying which ho thinks can bo of
sorvico in formulating and establishing
boundaries of newly irgmizcd districts
in conformity to law and usago and to
the satisfaction of tho people.
Mr Meoks while virtually a stranger
to the editor of the Hbram) comes to
us well recommended and is highly
spoken of by many Democrats. Ho in
qualified for tho offlco and ho wl'l no
doubt rocolvu duo consideration at the
hands of his party.
Ho has boon a roBiuent of Beaver
county only a few years coming here
with tho groat influx of sottlers but ho
brings with him good recommenda-
tions as to competency character and
Integrity.
Moore For Treasurer.
The Hbrald this week presents the
name of P. B. Mooro ofBcaver as a
candidate for County Treasurer of Bea-
ver county and for consideration of tho
Democratic voters at their nominating
primaries
There are so many good things to be
said about Mr. Moore and his qualifi-
cations to creditably fill the offlco of
County Treasurer (even though ho is a
Democrat) that it is hard to know
where to begin or where to end.
Ho camo to this county1 from St.
Louis about two years ago and soon
after his arrival here was employed as
chief deputy by County Treasurer
Williamson. So well did ho fill tho
position that ho has not been allowed
to leavo tho ofllce since only for a day
now and then when he could steal
away and go out to his farm.
His continuance in the office for so
long a time is proof enough o' his abil-
ity for during tho tlmo ho has been in
tho offlco tho volume of work has been
almost doublo that of former years
and whereas at other times three and
four deputies were required to keep
the work up Mr. Williamson and Mr.
Moore havo taken care of the work
except for a short time during tho
rush of tax paying season.
Mr. Moore's candidacy is being well
8pokon of by his party and his nomina-
tion for tho offtoo Is almost ono of tho
euro things of life. If nominated he
will bo one of the strongest candidates
on tho ticket for ho has a host of
friends who appreciate tlQ prompt and
I accurate work m done as deputy
I treasur.ir-and will work dilicentlv for
I his electian.

Off His Trolly Again.
In accepting F 0 Tracy's challcngo
to discuss the Constit it on J S Fisher
as usual has slipped bin roily and
lights Bhy of tho real issue
So far as wo are concomed we do not
seo nnything to be gained by thene men
discussing the question cither in tho
paper or at public meetings but It is
laughable to note how Fisher evades
the issue by accepting tho challcngo
and then naming ns tho subjects he is
ready to discuss "Jim Crow" "Local
Option" and other subjects that aro not
nor never have been n part or portion'
of the Constitution. It does seem
strnngo how much some people DON'T
know and yot they try to poso as such
knowing iudiyldunlB.
Wo understand Fisher's right-hand
-man Friday Finloy Rock advised
with Fisher in the matter. What is
Rock anyway? Ho used to bo a Demo-
crat and wo aro quite suro ho has nev-
er been purloined by tho Republican
party. Like Fisher Healy and some
more of the "ring" wo think ho is now
one of tho "has boons."

We who had been a doubting Thom-

70 por cent of tho broom corn crop of
America.
On'o of tho flvo broom corn buyers
hero bought 143 wagon loads of broom
corn in ono duy last December. A
Beavor county farmer living 43 miles
distant marketed two wagon loads of
alfalfa seed hero for $760 last season ;
two other Oklahomians sold our mer-
chants 1300 and 1100 dozen eggs just
