T°OJTRUE.
The following1 article taken from
the El Dorado Kas. Republican, is a
true statement of the conditions of
affairs, both from a spirtual, educa-
tional and business standpoint. It I
is a sad commentary on tho Ameri-
can people, but nevertheless a true i
index to tho way wo, as a nation are
drifting.
“It is the coarse, vulgar, yellow
newspaper that sells in the big cities.
It is tho irreligious crank in the pul- j
pit who draws the crowds to the
church. It’s tho eharacterloss law-
yer who “snatches” for business and
who is often retained by both sides,
who mnkos the money. It is the un-
professional doctor, who is largely
responsible for “raco suicide” who
lives in a brown stone front. It’s the
low priced politician, who sells the
oftenest, and the cheapest, who is
continually in office. It’s the de-
partment store in the big city, which
piomises something for nothing, that
catches the crowd. It’s the adultera-
ted food that sells at the biggest pro-
fit. And yet the publisher, the
merchant, is denounced for trying to
furnish the people the things they
are tho most anxious to have at the
highest prices. Fake readers encour-
age lake newspapers; people with
but a pretestense of religion promote
vaudeville in the pulpit; men and
women who despise the golden rule
and the world is full of them—pro-
mote, by their patronage, all the vices
under the flag, while the man who
preaches or teaches morality and
light Jiving, is left to starve. But,
then this is the twentieth century and
we are all traveling the same road,
happy in the belief that we are the
brightest, smartest and most enlight- j
oned people that ever happened. All
hands ’round and circle to the left.”
MISSOURI.
I he state that comes nearer being
an Empire Within herself than any
single state in the union; tho state
that has always prided herself on her
school system, and honest, govern-
ment, low taxes and decreasing in-
debtedness, has been betrayed by the
men in whom she put her faith ; like
an inocentchild, she has been kid-
naped—as it were—and sold for a
few pieces of silver. Like Rachel of
old she is mourning for her children
and refuses to be comforted, for they
weio not' —that it is not what they
seemed—and the result of it is, some
ot the dear children are in the pen,
others will be and others ought to be
that never will be. MjAouri has only
one hope of being redeemed from the
| hold of the boodlert/the grafter and
dishonest politicians—that one hope
. ('h'ct the man Governor who
| has been the means of breaking up
phis lawlessness within her home—
Ihaf man is no other than Joseph
tFolk’ at Present trying to fill the
Ipenetentary with the “betrayers of
public confidence”.
Folk has not only caught democrats
but also republicans, he has been no
-respecter of persons in his crusade
for right, be has caught the mighty
m well as the lowly. With Folk for
Governor and Thos. L. Ruby for Sec-
retary of the State or Lieut Governor
either and Missouri will go demo-
cratic, any other ticket aud she will
go republican. We don’t claim the
republicans will do any better than
the democrats, but the people have
been fooled, and fooled badly. They
rant a change, and will have it.
Missouri baa lost many thousand de-
mocratic votes to Oklahoma in the
ast five years, and has gained
teveral thousand republican votes
| torn-the north. The democrats will
iav« an up-hill business electing the
text Governor unless they nominate
oe Folk. In fact they couldn’t elect
my other man in the State.

A Story
i Worth T
I
We never tire of telling the story
i °f Uneeda Biscuit* We do not
believe that lovers of good, whole*
some food ever tire reading it
Ifneeda Biscuit are the result of
two ideas. That soda crackers could
be made better than they had ever
been made before. That it was pos-
sible to convey them to the home
fresh, crisp and clean.
The importance of the soda cracker
as an article of daily consumption,
made this worthy of extraordinary
effort. True, many people laughed at
the idea of so much thought—time—
labor—capital, being devoted to a soda
cracker. But the greatest industries
of the greatest country in the world
have been developed from smaller
things than a soda cracker, and so
it seemed worth while to make the
best soda cracker that could be
made and to place it on the table as
good as it had been made.
To do the first required the selec-
tion of the best materials, of the best
equipment, the highest skill. To do
the second upset all traditions. The
oldest bakers said there was no
way to keep a soda cracker good.
NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY
'*• m

That no one expected it any way.
That people were satisfied to eat them
stale, as they had been in the habit
of doing. And so it fell to the lot
of younger minds to do this unheard
of thing—to keep a soda cracker good
until eaten.
The result was the In-er-seal Pack-
age—identified by the famous red and
white trade mark design. An inven-
tion that kept out the air, moisture,
dust and germs; that-first retained the
natural flavor of the biscuit, keeping
it crisp and .fresh until it reached the
table. And so Biscuit be-
came a reality. The little thing that
seemed hardly worth while became a
greatthingthatseemedhardlypossible.
To-day over 200,000,000 packages
have been consumed by the thought-
ful people of this country and the de-
mand is evqr increasing.
That is the story of
Biscuito Some day we will tell it
over again for the benefit of those who
are still "satisfied” with the stale and
broken crackers that come
in a paper bag, when they
can get yneeiggs Biscuit •
whole, fresh, and clean. ^ jUl

i 1® amusing to read some of the
(rtlcles in eastern papers regarding
j atehood. Tha Chicago Inter Ocean
links “Oklahoma hasn't the resor-
>9 nor the Territory togivetheaver-
-te statue of an American state.”
.his seems funny to the people of
klahonm, when they know the ter-
tory and statute of so many of the
merican states that do not come up
- anchii 1 of Oklahoma. Ii
1 mu was sfmated in the >. ■ I
orrh instead of the west we would I
“dollars to doughnuts*' that the
mas statute us a state. ’Tis true
Oklahoma is an agricultural state but
siie has the recourses, and wealth
that few states can boast. The St.
Louis Globe-Democrat as usual is
against Oklahoma for statehood of
any kind. Readers of that paper will
remember that last winter, the Globe
wns having congress giving us state-
mod every day or so, and every bill
presented to congress looked like
statehood but, until just at the close
of the session, this paper informed
us that we would have no statehood
at that session of congress, when in
the truth the people of Oklahoma
kne wit long before the Globe < ambled
o the fact. The Globe now s.iys
1 hat congress will not give u» any
kind of statehood unless we are will-
ing to accept single statehood. We
uie aware of the fact. But congress
will not nive us single statehood at
this session; it may be single in the
sense that it will give Oklahoma
statehood, but not attached to the
Indian Territory at this time. Just as
long as congress can keep down Ok-
lahoma's representation In the house
of congress she will do it. The east
does not and will not let JOklahoma
have any more representatives in
the lower house than she canpossibiy
avoid, a few extra members in the
house would be as detrimental to the
east as two extra senators in the sen-
ate. Especially wouldjthis be so when
it came to legislating for the west or
east. There is only one kind of state-
hood in sight and that is, statehood
for Oklahoma alone, “now.” as long
as we fight for two kinds of statehood f
Thereby hangs
