The American people are getting
ready for a political revival. There
are signs of it in every section of the
country. The Philadelphia uprising
is a manifestation of a rapidly
strengthening spirit. Even in corrup-
tion-ridden Ohio a campaign against
the lobby is in progress. The popu-
lar support which such governors as
Folk of Missouri Deneen, of Illinois,
und La Follette, of Wisconsin, hsve
received shows that the old indict-
ment of public indifference to politi-
cal corruption will not much longer
hold.
The indignation shown over the
Equitable scandal, the ethical support
which Dr. Gladden received in bis
protests against Mr. Rockefeller’s
money, the strong popular interest
shown In Mr Roosevelt’s efforts to
make the corporation subordinate to
the government, all flow from a com-
mon source.
The time is ripe for a moral revival
in politics. The American people are
coming to understand the extent of
political and financial corruption and
to realize Ita menace to republican in-
stitutions. The reaction against pri-
vate exploitation of government has
already begun, and the public men
who have the courage to make them-
selves leaders of the Dew reform
movement are the men whom the peo-
ple are going to put in high office.
The new reformer is no longer a
joke. The old reformer believed that
a civil service system was the begin-
ning and end of good government.
The new reformer knows that there
can be no good government under any
system unless there is integrity and
character back of the administra-
tion. That is the coming Issue in
American politics.
the voice of the people was there eny
thing stole In my case, gentelmen I
cau auswere this question before my
man and god, no there was nothing
stole, could you make theft out of that
when that mans horse was at home In

people I believe you aught to take this
up and assist a man that can make a
honest living by the sweat of the
blow. Gentlemen 1 wouldn't 1 would
uut ask tills of no man If no body bad
to suffer but me but think of those
five small children halfing to suffer
where no crime was committed, I am
to nurvis to try to write so I will
bring this to a close. 1 want to state
In this letter that we have got fine
men at the top of this prison our war-
den R. It Jewltt, andourdeputy war-
den J. W. Dobson are fine men and

have just got back from Cbappel, we
had a lice meeting, we had for our text
the 22 chapter of revelations, we had
some fine songs frmo visitors, friends
I want to tell you it makes my heart
ache when I think of a good mothers

To The Public.

tiled by Carl Milam, son of the O. L.
Milam the grocer, instigated by Har-
ry Thompson and A. J. Green, as they
sent parties to my place of business
to buy goods July 9th, '06. This Is
absolutely the facts in the case and

commodate the public during the

at Ponca City, and offered in payment
a check for 115.65 signed by T. J.

mers east of town. Mr. Pickett Is
known to be good aud the check was
readily taken at the cashier’s desk,
but when It was offered for deposit at
the hank next day It was pronounced
