THE man who can pet along with-
out advertising is the who would
benefit most by advertising. His
goods advertise themselves. Make
them known. The wider their ac-
qaintance the more they will adver-
tise themselves.—Printers Ink.
Most every city in Oklahoma has
some particular day during the year
which they celebrate a little louder
than any other. Now comes the an-
nouncement from Perry that "hoc
day" is that city's favorite. It is
lit tin;;, perfectly littins;—yes indeed.
"o Home, sweet Home! how many
fond recollections are entangled
about thy name,'' putt in the Wood-
ward Bulletin. According to our re-
collection the entanglements of home
were diversified; some ot them were
not so "fond" as others. The hickory
switch entanglements, for instance.
THE EAST VS. THE WEST.
The hope of this land of ours, of
this government by the many and of
| equal opportunities for all, founded
by Washington and his compatriots,
saved as a united whole by the patri-
otism which sustained Lincoln and
his statesmen and generals, and
which is still preserved by the intelli-
gence oi an enlightened people, is in
| the undeveloped west in its more I
| free and less trammeled civilization. I
j Because of tlie commercial lies and
i financial relations the older Atlantic
communities have become European- j
ized.
If these eastern states have not
reached their maximum of popula-
tion they already have their castes
and are hedged up by the environ-
ment of tradition. There is little
possible future growtli for the east
except as it grows off of others.
From the more progressive and un-
conventional nest must come the
broader ideas, the freer policies
which will afford the opportunity for
the ultimate geatness and the poss-
ible superiority dreamed of by the
fathers. The resources of the west
have been but touched upon. This
is true of mine and of field, the re-
source of all industry, as they are
the basis of the commerce and finance
which build cities and enrich com-
munities. The west with its ever in-
creasing population will soon rule the
land, if, indeed, the east has not
already lost the sceptre. The masses
of the east will be in harmony with
the ideas and political convictions
of the west. The ruling classes of the
east do not appreciate such a prop-
osition, but their masses do or will.
By the west, through its freer and
broader spirit, its progressive ideas
and undeveloped resources, will be
found the surest hope of a goverment
of the people, for the people and by !
the people.'"—Emporia Republican.

T1eorge Klwood, who was identified
with Prank It >yes in great B ink
draft steals, and who escaped from
the late Jacko U. S. Commissioner,
deceased, at Medford two years ago
is reported dead, having been shot
by a guard in the Rhode Island pen-
itentiary about a year ago. The
Wave doubts the report.
Fred Watkins, the Poland China
hog man living northwest of the city
was quite a sufferer by the recent
hail storm. All the window glass in
the north and east side of his house
were broken out. His orchard, load-
ed with fruit was simply skinned of
fruit, foliage and part of the bark of
the trees. It struck just half of his
claim the other half in wheat was
not disturbed.
TANKY.
North Enid will not be called the
tank town any more. The tank has
been moved to the south town and it
would not hold all that was drank in
celebration of the event.—Wichita
Eagle.
The above will probably generate
steam enough in the north town to
cut out the Eagle subscription list
intoto. The tank has not been moved
sir. Yon have simply perpetrated
another story on an inland town.
The tank never will be moved alive.
WHOA EM MAI
If Isenberg of the Enid Wave is
not a liar hall as large as cow's hoofs
fell west of that city Saturday night.
They drilled holes in the ground sey-
aral inches deep.—Wichita Eagle.
The first person, singular, spoken of
above is likened unto the news-gath-
erers of the Eagle. He gathereth his
news from the mouths of the people:
if they lie he lieth also in the Wave.
The various reporters of the hail
storm Saturday night said that some
of the hail was as large as a tin cup
or a cow's hoof, but none of them
really saw hail that size: their judg-
ment was based on the numerous holes
in the earth In the destroyed wheat
fields, orchards and even on the hard
roads. In some localities hail was
found as large as hulled walnuts the
next morning after the storm, which
would indicate that it was quite large
when it fell, yet we think hen's egg
size would be about the truth. The
Wave is under the impression that
a large Ice house In one of the plan-
ets, sailing over Oktahoma, busted
and the ice came down on us in
chunks. Of course the varaclty of
Isenberg will not compare with that
of Misty Dawn's papa.
FAKES.
The Perry Enterprise-Times pub-
lished the following gospel truth,
but the list was not complete:
"The Wichita allotting agents have
not been heard of lately. They may
be up in the Wichita mountains get-
ting new orders. The biggest farce
of all farces connected with the
opening of Indian reservations is the
allotting business. The Wichita
allotting agents could eas'.y do all
that is required of them in thirty
days, yet they will draw big salaries
and do nothing tor an indefinite time
if the people will permit them. The
Dawes commission is another fake
concern which has never shown any
animated desire to do anything out-
side of drawing fat salaries."
"The Enterprise should have com-
pleted the fake list. The house of
representatives at Washington is
the rankest fake in official life ever
known in the history of the govern-
ment; it is not doing anything for a
suffering people; it adjourns from
Monday until Thursday and from
Thursday to Monday again. The
barrel of sheeps tallow from Maine,
Tom Reed, has been crowned as king
of the house and the Czar of Russia
has never dared to equal Reed's
tyranny. The house is not only a
fake but a farce comedy. In fact,
the whole government is being faked
to death. Sellish greed is fast sapping
the old time patriotism which kept
the government alive and prosperous
in its early days. In the olden times
the people were fond of singing "My
Country 'tis of Thee I sing." Now days
it is, "My party 'tis to thee I cling."
DE CULARD VOTAHS
S. Douglas Russell, editor of the
Constitution at Kingfisher, and presi-
dent of the protective association
composed of colored men, says
that he Intends to see that the
60,000 republican negroes in Oklaho-
ma are fairly treated in the distri-
bution of pie. He thinks that Gov.
Barnes will treat them fairly.
"Dare am a black scar on de si-
moon ob de 'publican party, suah, an'
onless dat scar am polished dare will
suahably be a brakin' out!—suah as
youse a libin'," says Uncle Rastus.
A SLY UPPERCUT.
A Topeka man in a barber chair a
few days ago took a swipe at a fly
that was roosting on his O. M. B.
nose and the result was that he hit
the raxorand severed one of his fingers
He should have asked the barber to
remove the fly and thus avoid blood-
shed.
