Oklahoma potatoes are now in
vading every market in the north.
Our peaches are follow ing them and
both will beat the test of experts.
An exchange asks “W'liat would
we do without the blessed Salt
bath?” Many people would never
go fishing and then ball games
w ould be lonesome affairs.
Hoads.
It is dry weather now and every
road is good, but— , yes, lints must
be used even in Oklahoma. liaius
will fall and are more than likely
to, just when the demand for our
big wheat crop is the greatest. In
that case Okeene is shut out on all
roads leading into town. These
roads MUS T I1K FIXED or we will
lose a lot of w heat that would come
here but simply can’t get hero.
Grain buyers and merchants, this is
up to you. Will you look after it?
There is not labor enough to do it.
Cash must be put tip to do it. Look
after it at once.
Never cross a bridge until you
get to it is a good motto in every
thing. In politics it is a sure win-
ner. A lot of wild eyed fellows
are trying on Hill Grimes’ old shoes
to see if they can wear national
commit teem an's togs. They are
big shoes boys, but they can be lac-
ed down to fit little feet if neces-
sary but don’t take them away from
Bill yet. He tills them perfectly
and there is no weather yet that
needs them before next spring and
if Will don't get ’em shined up in
time to come out on dress parade it
will be time for a new deal.
Wo don’t see anything green about
Grimes uor do we believe any one
else does.
President Will Not Interfere.
President Roosevelt has refused
to commute the sentences of Charles
Barrett and Dora Wright, who will
be banged here July IT. Barrett
killed John Hcnnessy, an aged
miner, for his money. The Wright
woman is a negress who whipped a
little child to death and then mutil-
ated the corpse, to throw suspicion
on a white man.
Humble Carrington, a colored at-
torney representing the Wright
woman, returned today from Wash-
ington, where he had two half hour
conferences with President Roose-
velt. He pleaded with the presi-
dent on the grounds that a woman
should not be hanged, but when the
president went over the transcript
of the evidence with him and saw
the revolting character of the crime
he said: “A woman mean enough
to do that ought to have nerve
enough to meet her punishment.”
He Has a Test Made.
K. T. Prince registered a vigor-
ous kick this morning when he
found the inspectors certificate on
his two oil cans registered the same
when there is supposed to he a dif-
ference m the oil and he immediate-
ly secured the services of Deputy
Inspector Kirkpatrick to make a
test of the oil in the two ranks.
-lost at that time the city editor
of the Democrat appeared upon the
scene and watched the proceedings.
Mr. Prince drew a large bottle of
oil from each tank, labeled them
and Inspector Kirkpatrick took the
bottles to his office accompanied by
Mr. Prince and the pencil pusher
’The inspector immediately pro-
ceeded to make the test which re-
sulted as follows:
20 cent oil, flash test 122 A
specific gravity 40.
25 cent oil, flash test 122j, speci-
fic gravity 4(5.
It will be seen that the test is
exactly the same in each instance
and Mr. Prince can't see why lie
should have two oil tanks to sell
John Jones 20 cent oil from
and the other to sell Hill Smith 25
cent oil from. And he don’t pro-
pose to do any such skull duggery.
It’s too small business for Mr.
Prince, this five cent larceny busi-
ness especially when he would only
get two of the five cents.
The oil tested this morning from
tiie tanks of Mr. Prince are from
the Waters-Pierce Oil Go., Cleve-
land, O. The oil came to El Reno
in car No. 322 and marked with the
initials \\ . P. O., which would in-
dicate it to be the private ear of the
Waters-Pierce Oil Go.
The bill rendered by this com-
pany to Mr. Prince shows a differ-
ence of three cents a gallon in the
two oils and retailer is supposed to
charge five cents difference and thus
add Ins steal of two cents to the
three cent steal of the wholesale, all
of which Mr. Prince declines to do
and his customers w ill get coal oil
at 20 cents a gallon regardless of
the wholesalers’ graft.—El Reno
Democrat.
Is Blighted and Killed.
The Lawrence Gazette says that
“Professor Haworth is pur.zled over
one feature of the Kaw flood.
Whatever the water touched is
blighted. Where animals stood in
the water the hair came off, and
was often followed by the skill.
'This has been found true in almost
every instance. And where the
water went, vegetable life has been
blighted. Hardly a green leaf was
left after being touched by the
waters. Trees that would ordin-
ary grow and flourish in the water,
have withered and died after stand-
ing lu the flood waters. Why?
What did the water hold in solution
that was deadly poison to both veg-
etable ami animal life? That is the
question Professor Haworth is
going to try to answer.”

How Canada Suffers.
A Free-Trade journal attributes
the prosperity of the country chiefly
to the freedom of trade between all
of its parts, but it does not explain
why tiiat prosperity was not main-
tained under the last Democratic
administration with its Wilson
Tariff bill. 'The object of that
statement was to encourage Free
trade with Canada, as the jour-
nal goes on to say: “The same
effect would be produced on a still
larger scale if there were no com-
mercial barrier on our northern
frontier; if it could be obliterated
altogether the result would be in-
creased prosperity for both.
If the word “both” were stricken
out and “Canada” inserted the
statement would Ik* correct. It
would be of enormous advantage to
Canada if her 0,000,000 inhabitants
could have free access to the mar
kets the so,000,000 inhabitants of
the United States without contrib-
uting one cent toward tbc support
of the Government of this country.
Freedom of trade between the peo-
ple of one country cannot be com-
pared with freedom of trade be-
tween the people of different coun-
tries. If Canada became a part of
the Union, subject to its laws, the
same as all other parts of the Union,
it would enjoy that freedom of
trade which would double its popu-
lation in ten years, w hereas there
lias hardly been an increase iu its
population in the last ten years.
Canada will not give products
from the United States any prefer-
ence over similar products from
Great Britain, and as long as she
bolds to that position a reciprocity
treaty is out of the question.—Phil-
adelphia 1’ress.
the time that once the manufactur-
ers of the United States grew to
the needs of home consumption
they would go on building for ex-
port trade. And today all that
was predicted for the manufacturers
and workingmen of the United
States has come true. Millions
upon millions of foreign money
and tens of thousands of foreign
workmen are pouring into the
States to reap some of the fruits of
the great national Protective policy,
the policy of the American Un-
ion. Can Canada repeat this?
Look at the cotton mills, tobacco
factories, roll mills, etc., that were
built up in Canada under the Na-
tional policy, and we can easily
picture what would happen if the
Government of Canada would give
to Canadians a Canada-for-Cana-
dians policy, looking first to the
securing for Canadians the Cana-
dian consumption, and then a share
of the markets of India, Kuglaud,
Australia, Japan, Italy! Spain,
South Africa—in fact, of the whole
world.—Montreal “Star.”.
Negroes at Auction.
Russell, Ivas., July 8.—Two
negroes were bid off on the auction
block for harvest hands Tuesday
afternoon. They were John and
Harper Porter and are known as
good workers. The bidding was
spirited, starting with *2.50 per
day. August Reinhart finally se-
cured them on a hid of $3.21 per
day. Adam Render was the auc-
tioneer. At Victoria, just over the
line in Kllis county, another colored
man asked for bids for a hand who
would pitch to the stack all of the
grain one header could cut. On
this condition the negro brought a
$(5.00 per day bid.
Grave of Ingalls.
The grave of the late John J.
Ingalls at Mt. Vernon, will be
marked with a red granite glacier
stone found in Lutheran church ad-
dition iu Atchison. The stone is
is 54 by 4A feet and 2A feet in thick-
ness. The stone will be marked
with a medallion and a quotation
from “Blue Grass.” A better stone
was found in Jefferson county, but
the farmer on whose place it was
located wanted $125 for it. It was
the desire of the distinguished Kan-
san tiiat his grave be marked with a
Kansas field stone.
A sensible young lady of Kansas
made the following request of her
friend: “Do not lay me down by
tbe rippling brookside, lest the bab-
bling lovers wake me from my
dreams, nor iu the beautilul ceme-
teries in the valleys less sightseers
cooing over epitaphs distract me;
but let me sleep under the counter
of the merchant and business man
w ho never advertises. There is the
peace that passeth all understand-
ing and deep is the sleep in which
neither the buoyant footfall of
youth nor the weary shuffle of old
age will never intrude.”
Pope Leo Dying.
Canada for Canadians.
The United States is today the
most conspicuous export manufac-
turing country iu the world. Why
is this? Because the people and
statesmen of the United States real-
ized years ago that a strong Pro-
tective polioy would first of all
Imild up home manufactures by se-
curing for Americans the best of
the home market, feeling sure all
