"Let the people know" tlat Oklahoma territory
paid .$8.00 per ton for coal. Oklahoma state now
bays the game grade of coal for $4.14. Thus a Dem-
ocratic administration eaves on every ton < f coal pur-
chased $3.86—almost fifty per cent.
HOW ABOUT THIS?
IN the wilds of Seminole-county there lives a man of
sable skin who for sixty years has been immune
from common sense. He is a devout believer in the
"Voodoo," and has more signs and portents to direct
bis conduct than were ever possessed by any magi-
cian of Babylon. He carries the rabbit's foot by day
and night, wraps a lizard skin about his wrist, turns
around three times when a dog howls, puts a feather
beneath the oven to keep the bread from burning, and
declares, when 'his dogs fail to tree, that they have
been trailing spirits! When a friend or neighbor dies,
he places money in the coflin, and invariably leaves a
portion of food on the new made grave. He has a
mortal antipathy to bathing, and declares that water
and cleanliness are deadly foes of longevity.
Yet this illiterate negro has just as great a power
on election lay as# A. Grant Kvai s or A. C.
N'o scholar in Oklahoma has any more strlngth at
the i allot box. By voting tie roo=ter or the t'ig!e
he can nullify the vote of a Lnited States senator.
And there are several thousands of his kind in Okla-
homa.
Is spite of all the "slams" that some of the poli-
ticians and newspapers of Guthrie have given the
"Grandfather" clause, as they di T the capital bill, it
will come before the people on \ugust 2nd. The
people will vote for it, and it will carry by a large
majority.
Thf. Republican candidates now canvassi g the
state'are continually glorifying their party record—its
fu'ure record. Of its past record, they never i pekk,
-ave in whispers and with warning looks. Like dying
Elizabeth offering millions of money for a moment of
time, the Republican party of Oklahoma would gladly
give the wealth of Croesus to erase their territorial
record from the memory of their fellow-men.

As the Republican press continues to charge the
state administration with extravagance, let the people
know that a Republican congress has appropriated
more money to support the stables of President Tuft
than the entire state administration has cost the peo-
ple of Oklahoma riuce statehood. The people of Ok-
lahoma have paid less in the nearly three years of
statehood to defray the personal expenses of Govern-
or Haskell than the American people pay in a sing
year to keep one horse for President Taft.

Harry Nunn accepted a position

Flora Perry, who has had a good
position with the Rock Island Ity..

She i- enroute to New Mexiec I1 1
the summer. Just before leaving
-he was offered the choice of two
positions at $75.00 per month. She
-.till that if a person was a good
stenographer they could get all the
positions they wanted, but poor
ones are not wanted at any price.
Anv school that advertises to
make ;i stenographer out of any one
in three months ought to he pun-
ished bv law. The average student
cannot h am to use the typewriter
so as to he able to hold any kind of
a position; neither can they be good
enough in shorthand. The average
student is deficient in spelling and
English, and it is impossible to
train the average person along those
line- in three months. Business
men are getting "sore" on business
colleges on account of so many in
competent? coming from same and
this is the reason. I he student
does not stay long enough to be-
come thoroughly competent, but ex-
pects to go out into the business
world and work up their speed in
an office. This is the greatest mis-
take they can possibly make. They
will find there are just two classes
of stenographers. They must either
he good enough to take a position
direct from school that will pay
them ■■ 1 salary and have plenty
of work or they will take an • -y
position at i sinail -alary, wit no
chance to improve. Busines- men
simply will not take a stenograph r
and develop him or her. They can-
not afford to do it. The ~< lio.. -
are mostly to blame because they
tell their -indents that they can
make stenographers out of them in
three or four months. That i- not
true and the schools know it. The
liest and most successful schools do
not allow their students to leave
until tin > arc thoroughly competent.
That kind of a school can always
place every student itVan get ready.

course-cheap-tuition-school will find

Disease of Chinch Bug
There has been quite a steady de-
mand throughout the State, in the
chinch bug infected localities, for
the disease which is contagious and
fatal to chinch bugs. The Ento-
mological Department has this di-
sease on hand for distribution. It
is free to all parties interested, and
may be obtained by them if they
will -end chinch bugs to the depart-
ment for the infection. After these
bugs are infected with the disease
a portion of. or all of them, will be
returned to the sender in order that
the disease may he disseminated in
the infested fields. These infected
bugs should be placed in the fields
where the uninfected bugs are at
work. During very hot and dry
weather this disease i- not known
to work as efficiently as It does
during wet weather. Now is a good
time to procure this disease in order
that its distribution among the
healthy bugs will be effective. Do
not wait until the chinch bugs be-
come injurious, but send specimens
now to obtain the disease. This
will cost only a few cents in pos-
tage and but very little trouble to
the persons desiring the infection.
