Editor Sentinel:
I most heartily endorse your
article on ttie yaiiiblinjr and saloon
rin<;, and judge that all right
thinking people join in my ap-
proval of your announced in
teution of ridding us of this pest.
I am not a moral purist, and do
not pose as being better than my
neighbor, nor as one with a mission
to make the world better, nor do i
.seek to make others live better
lives while indulging in mv own
vices.
I have no objection to a man be-
ing a saloon-keeper if be elects to
follow that avocation. I have no
objection to a man being a gambler
and running a den if he determins
to follow that pursuit, if those
who have sworn to administer the
law, permits hint to do so; nor do
i greatly grieve over the man that
goes to those places and loses, or
has his hard earned dollars filched
from him, if he finds pleasure in
the process, and the officers per-
mit it why should 1 object;
Neither should I object when these
vote, and vote for the man of
their choice.
But 1 do object, and all to whom
the wellfare of this country is
dear must join me in the objection,
when they combine together as a
unit to control elections and vote
for persons who will protect them
in the violation of the law at the
ex pence of their official oaths. 1
do object, and all law abiding
citizens must join me in the ob-
jection, when these men openly
boast that they will elect or de-
feat certain candidates for office,
that they hold tho balance of
power and persons unfriendly to
thoir business cannot bo elected,
and go to tho polls and carry this
boast into execution.
That this condition exists no one
familliar with the politics of this
county, and the results of the hist
three elections will have the te-
merity to deny. It'is well known
that when candidates for certain
offices in both political parties are
announced that one of the things
canvassed by the fixers on both
sides is ‘‘can he get the gam tiling
and whiskey vote?” And on the
answer to this question in large
measure depends the fact as to
whaether or not he shall be nomi-
nated.
When this state of facts exists
then it is time for persons who ex-
pect to live in this country and
make it their homes, whose for-
tunes and well being are bound up
with the fortunes and well being
of the country to get together re-
gardless of political difierences
present, past or future, and stamp
out the evil.
It is time to get togther and see
that the well known partnership in
crime that hasexisted between the
law and police departments of the
county and the gambling and
whiskey ring and city should come
to an end.
That this partnership exists is
evidenced by (lie fact that without
the consent, expressed or implied,
of the County Attorneys, sheriffs,
Chiefs of police and others this
evil could not have Hourised, and
would not have flourished, for an
.hour in our midst.
Why do we condemn tho gam-
bler and the rum seller for vio
lations of (lie law when we renom-
inate and elect the officers who
permit them to carry on their
business in violation of law ?
How shall we end this evil? the
answer is simple, not by a crusade
on the gain I tiers and illict sellers
of whiskey, these things are eph
einernl and die by exhaustion, but
by Insisting that the officers, whose
duty it is made by law’ to do so,
suppress this evil.
The law is adequate and if these
officers fail to suppress these evils
their term of office will be short
lived and end in ignominious dis
missial, if any one has the courage
to apply the corrective the legis-
lature has placed in our hands.
One such example is worth an
hundred crusades, the turning out
of one such official, nay even the
filing of charges for dereliction in
duty in this respect, would for-
ever [uit tin end to the open and
wanton violation of law that has
existed in our midst for years.
Again: who will apply the cor-
rective ?

To the Public.
1 desire to state that L utterly
refuse to serve as a member of tile
Democratic county committee for
which 1 was selected at a recent
meeting of the county committee
as reported in The Sentinel. 1
am a Republican and think too
much of my party principles to lie
caught training with the ojiposi-
tion. ■
,1. M. Barnard.
The above notice was published
in the Enterprise Times of last
week. The Sentinel desires to
inform '‘the public" that Mr. “.I.
M. Barnard” is not and never was
elected as a member of llio Deni
oeratic County Central Commit-
tee but that “M. M. Barnard” a
good democrat was elected a
member of said committee. Al.
M. Barnard is the Democrat, who
for several years was in the coal
business in Perry, but now a
farmer living two miles east of the
city. No, Mr. ‘‘.f. M,’’ dont lose
any sleep, you will not he required
to “train” with the opposition
even though a technical mistake
was made in printing the name.
You should know “there’s nothing
in a name” and not take offence in
that way.
1‘ltl'N'l NIJ I KICKS.
About all an average news-
paper man knows about trees is
how to “get out on tho limb”.
We give you this however from
our exchanges.
“The worst time to trim trees is
in the springtime: the best time is
in the latter part of the summer.
Most trees do not need much trim
tiling, theyshmild only be clerred
of the unnecessary and dead limbs.
For (hat class of tree, it does not
matter much when they are trim-
med because there will not he
much loss of sap; hut if a tree is
so largo that it is necessary to cut
off big limbs, it should not he
trimmed in spring, because the
sap runs so fast that it hurts the
tree- sometimes to the extent that
it dies. In duly there is no sap
running and the tree has time to
heal, so that the sap will not run
out the next spring, and the tree
will keep its shape ns disired and
make no water sprouts, Many
tree trimmers are not.of my opin
ion, hut none so far have been able
to prove to the contrary. Most
damage is done by leaving stumps
two to six inches long when the
limbs are cut off, which stumps
prevent tho wound from healing,
and the result is the tree rots to
the very heart. The limits should
not show that it has been trimmed,
and at the same time it, should ap-
pear that, no improvement can he
made upon it.”
About half a dozen candidates
have made their wish known in
Washington to succeed Judge Me-
Atec if he is retired from the su-
preme court of Oklahoma, or fail-
ing in that, to secure one of the
appointments tinder the hill cre-
ating two additional judges,
should the bill become a law.
They are, John L. Pancoast, of
Perry, J. C. Strang and (i. S.
Green of Guthrie, both formerly
members of the supreme court of
Kansas; Frank Gillette of El Reno,
John Embrey of Chandler, and J.
B. Cullison of Enid.
Secretary Hitchcock has in-
structed the Indian agent at Mus-
kogee to issue no permits for
hunting in the Indian territory.
This is a new construction of the
law and some of those conver-
sant with its provisions declare
that the secretary is mistaken as
the law was only in the Indian
reservations. The Indian terri-
tory has been the Mecca of sports-
men from Kansas, Missouri, Ar-
kansas, Texas an<LOklahoma, and
the new order will lie unwelcome
news.
Gen. Funston says the Filipinos
are not able to take care of
themselves. Why dont the Gen-
aral go back to the Orient and
help take care of them, instead of
staying in the lT. S. A. ?

Objects and Aims oT (lie Noble
County Organization.
The farmers from local lodge
in Noble county met on Thursday
March 24th, to perfect the county
organization of the Fraternal Or
dcr of American Farmers. Elmer
P. Rice, of Orlando, was elected
President; P. H. Roescn Vice Pres-
ident; E. B. Irwin, Secretary; H.
W. King, Treasurer; Win. II.
Hull, Guard; and Cliff Brock,
County Tradesman.
Thus we have theuiucleus for the
betterment of the social, and we
hope the pecuniary will-being, of
the farmers of Noble county, and
lest we may be misunderstood, I
will add a few facts and deductions
therefrom. In looking over the
industrial held we find organization
the rule.
The capitalists in every line of
production, in every enterprise,
in every distribution, buying, sell-
ing, speculating in real and imagi-
nary products, all are organized,
combined oil the one hand and the
employees are on the other hand
also organized to resist encroach
meats on their meager wage by
their employers.
^ All classes are organized to ben-
efit themselves as best they may.
The farmer alone has been strug-
gling single handed and [finds him-
self worsted at every turn. This
organization essays te better the
condition of the farmer. • But hap-
pily, the farmer when he benefits
himself, the community in which
he lives jure partakers of that ben-
efit. To illustrate, let mesay that
had the farmers of Oklahoma re-
ceived 10 per cent more for their
productions, than they did re-
ceive it is more than probable that
within the year the the merchants
of the territory would have sold
20 percent more goods than they
did, and their net profit would have
been 40 per cent more during the
year than they were. Tiie nnehin-
ic, laborer,artist, teacher and all
others of whatsoever calling would
havefelt the iinpulne of greater
prosperity.
It is plain that to get money and
to keep it in Oklahoma, our in-
come must he greater than our out
go, therefor, if the farmers can
get better prices out - going wheat
corn, hogs, cattle ami the other
products the greater the posperity
of each and every citizen. We
would co-operate with every busi-
ness interest and work together for
mutual benefit.
