In accordance with Judge
Irwin's decision last November,
With regret, we learn that
death has come again into our
in the Kingfisher district court! midst- This time it has laid its
that a newpaper could not be
made to publish the applications
of salora men for licenses. As
the law recites that they must
be published in the two newspa-
p rshavirg the largest c'rcula-
ti in in the county, and if the
edkors rc fuse to publish them the
suloon would be deftatedfor non,
fulfilment of requirments of the
l.iw. Now several editors are re-
fusing to publish applications, a
tnong them, the Hennessy Clip-

and he is held up for contempt.
Other editors in western Oklaho-

Meredith was a very intelligent

death we have not learned. We

The American school book
trust are astonis'iished. The
Japanese have duplicated the
first, second, third and fourth
readers used in our schools and
a large consingment are now at
San Fransciseo awaiting to go
upon the market at one-fith the
price of the trust company's
books that have dominated our
legislature all these years.
The Patriot mentioned the
possibility of cheap labor from
the Orient, and then and now,
favor a state bootc plant to make
our school books and furnish
them free to a certain amount,
and if they were wasted, then
pay cost price for new ones.
Could make our statutes in the
same way lor justices courts.
The plutocrats will set up a
dismal howl now for the protec-
tion of American industries.
Yes, to plunder the dear people;
that is what a protective tariff
is used for in this country It is
the father of trusts. This infer-
nal law has robbed labor of
countless millions in thiscountry. I
Trusts sell to foreigners cheap-
er than to us. After shipping
them across the sea, an Ameri

bought for about one half the
price in England than it can here.
Same way with binders. Can
buy them in Argentine cheaper
than here. They enter free trade
ports and conipet with the
earth, but this country has a
protective tariff, and no other
country can get in, and we arc
robbed by our own manuiac-
turers.
Henry A. Castle, formerly au-
ditor of the postofrice depart-
ment, has written for Harpers
//eekly an interesting article in
which he refers to the postoffice
department deficit. Mr. Castle
says: "In the United States last
year the enormous sum of forty
six million dollars v. as paid the
railroads for transportation of
the mails, of which sum fiye mill
ion represented that inexcusable
and scandalous graft, the rent of
mail cars, under which item more
is paid annually for th". bare use
of the cars than the c rs cost in
the first place. Commenting oh
the statement the Detroit Jour
nal savs: "With this graft elim
inated the treasury statement
this year would show instead of
a deficit of twenth eight millions,
a surplus of twelve million or
even thirteen million dollars even
admitting that exhorbant ex-
press rates were paid on mail
matter." -Ex.
