“Joe” Cannon says lie never
in his life littered an oath, hu
wait until the republican con
vention is over and then see i
he can proven, himself from
ripping out a few.
Muskogee is complaining of
some sneak thief stealing feath-
ers from the ladies hats in that
city. Theater goers of Pawhus*
ka will welcome a visit of this
thief to this city and will prom-
ise him immunity if caught.
Everybody was pleased with
the Shamrocks and everybody
will be pleased with Ralph Bing-
ham. His program will not be
cut short as was the Shamrocks
on account of train service but
you will have a whole evening
to laugh and enjoy yourself.
Certain learned men in the ok
world arediseussing the question
as to whether or not the human
race is getting hotter or worse,
It is difficult to speak of the
world at large, but here in Paw
huska we are all growing better.
There are many eastern re-
publicans who will vote for Bry-
an at the coming presideutia
election. They may not believe
wholly in Bryan’s platform, but
they would rather trust him as
president than trust to Taft, or,
in fact, any other of the pros-
pective candidates.
Governor Bradley of Ken-
tucky, was elected to the United
States Senate one day last week
by the Kentucky legislature.
The strife lietween the Beckham-
ites and the anti-Beckamites
had become so bitter that all ef-
forts toward a compromise
proved futile and the election of
a republican to the U. S. senate
by supposedly democratic votes
is the result. A change of four
votes from the democratic party
did the work.
Says the Atchison Globe: “A
newspaper is always printed in
a rush. There is always some-
thing in it that should be left
out: something left out that
should have been put in. It is
sometimes too quick to judge,
and often too quick to act, but,
with all its shortcomings, there
is more education in a bright,
newsy newspaper than there is
in a novel.”
Attorney General West has
discovered that the old Pharma-
cy Board under the territorial
regime has never accounted for
the 1100 a year license they col-
lected from vendors of drugs
and medicines. This fund dur-
ing the last year amounted to
nearly $5, (XX) and was applied to
the benefit of the board instead
of being turned into the state
treasury. Attorney General
West wants them to cough up.
They are not the only board that
will be called upon to cough
eit her.
In the eleetorial college Okla-
homa, the youngest state, has
seven votes, while sixteen states
have less—Colorado .r>, Delaware
3, Florida 5, Idaho B, Maine (’>,
Montana 3, Nevada 3, New
Hampshire 4, North Dakota 4.
Oregon 4, Rhode Island 4, South
Dakota 4, Utah 3, Vermont 4
Washington 5, Wyoming 3
Conneticut and West Virginia
each have the same as Oklaho-
ma. Oklahoma by a fair dea
would have nine instead of seven
The recent federal census enti-
tle it to two more than was
given by the enabling act.
The Blackhurn Flashlight an
nounces a suspension in its last
issue, The Flashlight has been
a newsy little little paper and
will be missed from the exchange
tables of this section.
Commissioners Proceedings.
Miss Ida Tar bell— she who
roasted Rockefeller to a finish
and still has him on the spit and
is giving him an occasional turn
—says that” women as a class do
not spend money wisely a n d
well.” This may l>e accounted
for by knowing that some hus-
bands are too stingy to trust
their wives with any money
whatever. But as to women
spending money wisely, look at
Hetty Green. She could teach a
whole generation how to man-
age money matters, and certain
ly the widow of the late Russell
Sage is spending the money left
with her both wisely and well.
Frank Thomas who was in-
dicted by the grand jury charged
with the crime of rai>e was re
'leased last week by marrying
the girl with whom he has lieen
living several months and upon
whom t he crime was committed.
In consenting to a dismissal of
the case upon these conditions
Judge Poe and County Attorney
Rolierts considered only the wel-
fare of the gill. A prosecution
and conviction would result in a
worse punishment for her than
foi the man. By marriage sh
may l**coiue a res|H*ct**d woman
but with her paramour in prison
the chances arc that she would
have become an outcast, a dis-
grace to herself and to all with
whom she came in contact.
