Look Out For Him.
Last week a man about 35 years old,
rather tall, with dark moustache and
very nervous struck El Reno with a
fake advertising scheme. He came to
the Democrat office, procured a sheet
of cardboard ruled it off into squares
with a place down the center left
blank for railroad time cards, list of
officers, etc,
He then went out among the merch-
ants soliciting them to take space at
so much a card, representing that he
was going to have two thousand copies
printed at the Democrat office for dis-
tribution. Several merchants bit at
the tempting bait and some of them
paid the thief in advance. It is need-
less to say that they were robbed and
that the scoundrel pocketed his swag
and li' out for a new fie'd without
having a single copy printed or distrib-
uted.
The moral is, take no stock in the
traveling fakir with an advertising
scheme. If they do as they agree to
do, it is money wasted. Money spent
for advertising in hotel registers, on
the margins of maps and hangers, in
ehurch and show p'-ograms, is worse
than wasted It does your business no
good and suggests to the public that
that you are a tenderfoot in the busi-
ness world,
A Disreputable and Dangerous
T raffic.
In all intelligent communities the
danger from the alum baking powder
is fully recognized and appreciated.
No housewife who is informed upon
physiological subjects will knowingly
permit one of these dang9rous articles
to come in contact with her food.
The harmfulness of alum powders is
mostly exerted among those who do
not read, who are deceived by the
stories of peddlers and others interest-
ed in the sale of the luferior articles,
and these are the people who can least
afford to use unhealthful food. •
The health authorities, however,
ate waking up to the seriousness of the
situation. Already many arrests have
been made of the venders of alum bak-
ing powders. When by convictions and
heavy penalties the sale of these pow-
ders is made both disreputable and ex-
pensive, it will be a blessing to the
public.
Ignorant and Fresh.
The El Reno American was extreme-
ly dubious as to whether the people
knew what "single statehood" meant
and frantically explained the whole
matter, stating that-single statehood
meant statehood for Oklahoma and In-
dian Territory together. That's just
it, and as the American is a new comer
to Oklahoma we will state for its in-
formation that "single" and "double"'
statehood have been discussed in these
realms for about twelve years, and
even the street gamins are acquainted
with the terms. Yes, we all know,
and single statehood is what wo will
get.—Enid Events.
The only portrait which has appear-
ed of Ex-Governor Thomas G. Jones
of Alabama, who has been appointed
a federal judge by President Roose-
velt because of his eminent ability,
without reference to the fact that he is
a democrat, is to be found in the
