Bile
Poison
has a very bad effect on your sys- |
tem. It disorders your stomach I
and digestive apparatus, taints your
| blood and causes constipation, with
all its fearful ills.
Bedford's
Black-Draught'
is a bland tonic, liver regulator, and
blood purifier.
It gets rid of the poisons caused
by over-supply of bile, and quickly
cures bilious headaches, dizziness,
loss of appetite, nausea, indiges-
tion, constipation, malaria, chills
and fever, jaundice, nervousness,
irritability, melancholia, and ah
sickness due to disordered liver.
It is not a cathartic, but a gentle,
herbal, liver medicine, which eases
without irritating.
i'sle for belief, and its recital un-
accompanied with proot to b-ick
it—such evidence a^ would justify
a jury's verdict of guilt, is inta
mous. f he sympathy of the !• ree
Press in this case is with Orvillr
Frartz. If we hail a brotht r or a
son who would not fight, under
similar circumstances, we would
promptly disown him. Fighting
with bare knuckles is sometimes
justifiable under the American
code of honor which is recog-
nized by gentlemen, and we im
agine that when Roosevelt hears
of the case he will slip into the
first convenient unoccupied room
of his seaside cottage, throw him-
self down on the floor and laugh
until he makes the building fairly
tremble.
Now, then, so far, Gov. Frantz
is innocent, and should be so con-
sidered until he is proven guilty.
And if he should be proven guilty
of official misconduct, that fact
ifi'l not carry any happiness into
the Free 1'ress office as no
hyenas have any connection what-
ever with it.

The Ethics of a Scrap
Kingfisher Free Press: Orville
Frantz, the governor's brother
and private secretary, licked
newspaper correspondent the
other day at Guthrie.
The question raised by this in-
cident is, was voung Frantz justi
fied in the administration of corp
oral Dunishment in this case?
Well, probablv not. But, after
all, some allowance must be made
for poor, sinful human nature,
Orville Frantz loves his brother
and governor 1' rants has been
abused and villified and lied abou
by the newspapers in the most
shameful and unpardonable man
ner. No man has ever been sub
jected to more of this sort of
detraction than Gov. Frantz
Every rumor and every story of
misconduct that his enemies hav
been able to invent and put i
motion have been received and
paraded in the hostile daily news
papers of Oklahoma and vicinity
Profresedly friendly newspapers
have also joined in giving public
ity to those fatherless stories
Most of these vicious rumors
have been, it is said, and no doubt
truly, embodied in formal
charges, and filed with the Inter'
ior department and called to th
attention of the president. these
charges have been the subjects o
investigations by special agents
and detectives, many of whom
are common every day, tattlin
pirates, who revel >n their work
like ghouls in a grave-yard, and
whose investigations are prompt-
ed by educated malice to the end
that conviction is the only argu-
ment bv which their employment
is justifiable. No one yet knows
th-.- character of these reports.
Up to this moment Gov. Frantz is
an innocent man, and no verdict
of guilt has been rendered against
him. In the meantime, he has
g.uie forward in the discharge of
the duiies of his high office, and his
mail is filled with invitations to
visit different communities and
deliver addresses to the people.
He is a young man, lacking in ex-
perience, and probably lacking in
the patience of the ox. Orville is
like him. There is an end to for-
bearance some time. If these
young men had been in civil life
and employment, and not public
officers, and had been pursued with
the malignity that Gov. Frantz has
been in the last six months, the
public would have set them down
for arrant cowards, beneath the
respect of honorable men, if they
had neglected to resent the same
promptly and with vigor. The
straw that broke the back of Or-
ville Frantz's patience was the
published statement that his
biother, the governor, was mak-
ing merchandise of his pardoning
