Away With the Filthy Lucre.
It doesn’t take money to run a
newspaper. It can run without
money. It is a charitable insti-
tution a begging concern, a
highway robber. A newspaper
is a child of the air, a creature
of a dream. It can go on and
on, and any other concern would
be in the hands of a receiver and
wound up with cobwebs in the
windows. It takes wind to run
a newspaper; it takes gall, to run
a newspaper; it takes a scintil-
lating acrobatic imagination and
a half dozen white shirts and a
railroad pass to run a newspaper
But who ever needed money
to conduct a newspaper? Kind
words are the medium of ex-
change that does the business
for the editor-kind words and
church social tickets. When
. you see an editor with money,
watch him. He’ll be paying his
bill* and disgracing his profes-
sion. Never give money to an
editor. Make him trade it out.
Money is a corrupting thing.
The editor knows it; what he
wants is your heartfelt thanks.
Then he can thank his printers
and they can thank their gro-
cers.
Take your job work to another
job office and then come and ask
for free church notices. Get
your lodge letter heads and sta-
tionery printed out of town and
then flood the editor with beau-
tiful thoughts in resolutions of
ii apart and cards of thanks.
But money—scorn dm filthy
Don’t jet the pure iaiio-
it Keep that for sordid trades-
people who charge for their
wares. The editor gives his
bounty away. The Lord loveth
a cheerful giver. He’ll take care
of the editor. He will get out
the paper ^mehow and stand
up for the town and whoop it up
for the town and whoop it up
for you when you run for office:
and lie about your pigeon-toed
daughters tacky wedding and
blow about your big footed sons
when they get a $4 a week job,
and weep over your shriveled
soul when it is released from its
miserable hulk, and smile at
your giddy wife’s second mar-
riage, Don’t worry about - the
editor—he’ll get on the Lord
knows how—but somehow.—
The Hornet.
Monroe-Owens*
Mr. Arthur Monroe and Miss
Nettie Owens of Perkins were
married at Stillwater Aug. 14,
by Probate Judge Mitchell.
Those present at the wedding
were Oscar Phillips and wife,
Gails Owen and Miss Floy Bybee,
of Perkins. 4 The Journal ex-
tends congratulations.

You missed a great treat by
not attending the Endeavor
meeting at the Christian church
Sunday evening. J. L. Burns
is the leader for ' next Sunday
evening at 7:30 the subject is
"Vacation Religion” Mark 6:30-
44 Come out and see what we
are doing. Everybody Invited.
F. E. Houghton of Guthrie,
cept the first Boas Buster move-
ment It would seem that now
the condition is changed and the
candidate should get as far
away from a machine as it ia
possible to go.
Machine talk ia one of the
chief elements that contributed
to Long’s defeat He had a fine
working organization. His stal-
warts knew just what waa to be
done, how to do it, and they also
knew juat where to begin. They
worked like Trojans, but the
"dear people’’ arose and smote
the machine a mighty smite and
Long was defeated. But Long
and his friends worked hard.
J. S. Simmons of Hutchison and
Charles Lobdell of Dighton went
into Hodgeman county and after
two days work it is said that
they actually changed the county
from Bristow to Long by a ma-
jority of a dozen votes by trad-
ing Long votes to Stubbs. But
in the eastern counties the work-
ers could not do this as is shown
by the large majorities which
Bristow received.
W. H. Ryan, one of the demo-
cratic candidates for governor,
was credited with a machine.
He had the democratic organiza-
tion behind him, and it worked
nicely, not .as the democratic
machine, but as a Kyan machine.
The returns in this case are the
same as with Long. The ma-
chine was beaten at every turn
except in the small counties.
There .is- still no doubt but
that a man, to be a successful
candidate, must work systemati-
cally and he must have an or-
ganization at headquarters to
send out literature and arrange
for speaking dates and meetings
and all that, but to have political
workers in each county, every
man plugging for the candidate,
all the wheels working together
to the same end seems to be no
longer necessary in fact a det-
riment to the candidate, espe-
cially if the other candidate has
the talking points.

Honor Mother.
Time has scattered the snowy
flakes upon her brow, ploughed
furrows in her cheek; the lips
are thin and shrunken, but those
are the lips which have kissed
away many a hot tear from the
childish cheek and they are the
sweetest lips in the world. The
eye is dim, yet it glows with a
soft radiencc of holy love that
can never fade. Oh, yes—yes,
she is a dear old mother. The
sands of time have nearly run
out, but, feeble as she is, she
will go farther and reach down
lower for you than /my other on
earth. You cannot walk into a
midnight where she cannot see
you; you cannot enter a prison
where bars will keep her out;
you can never mount a scaffold
too high for her to reach and
bless you with her deathless
love. When the world despises
and forsakes you, and when it
leaves you by .the roadside to
die unnoticed, the dear' old
mother will gather you in her
feeble arms and carry you home
and tell you of all your virtues
until you almost forget that
your soul is disfigured by vice.
Love her tenderly and cheer her
declining years with devotion.

FOR WHOM 18 THE BARK?
It is not for the rich, nor the independent
nor the selfish. It is for the man who rec-
ognizes responsibility, for the man who will
take money he would like to spend for other
things and put it in the bank where it will
be a protection both to himself and family
even though some misfortune may |lay him
on the shelf for a season, or put him on the
retired list altogether. Such a man is worth
knowing and we are anxious to get acquaint-
ed.
