The business pace of every
town is set by the advertising
done by the business men there-
of. The business man who
patronizes every advertising
scheme that comes along, how-
ever, is not always the pro-
gressive merchant. The pro-
gressive merchant believes in a
town's newspapers, and further
believes that the only really
paying advertising is newspaper
advertising. He knows that
when he gives a home news-
paper an advertisement not
only is it going to be read and
that he is going to get a return
but he also knows that he is

Vice-president elect Sherman
wrote a letter to Mr. Kern of
Indiana, expressing hope that
the Indiana State Legislature
would elect Kern United States
Senator. Sherman is supposed
to be a Republican and Kern a
Democrat. There seems to be
a wonderful affinity existing
between the republican and
democratic leaders. President
Roosevelt has intimated strong-
ly that there are some rascals
in congress and that they
should be ferreted out but the re-
publican and democratic mem-
bers of congress, instead of
making search for the rascals,
seem to huddle in a
huddle together in a bunch
with their heels to the outside
and are kicking like burrows
surrounded by a pack of wolves.
The truth would seem to be
that the rascals in congress are
pretty evenly distributed be-
tween both of the old parties.
In congress peace and harmony
seems to rule supreme between
the democrats and republicans.
It is only in the campaigns
waged before the people that
any material differences seem
to exist. In congress when a
number of congressmen want
to take a European jaunt at
Uncle Sam's expense they look
around and have a committee
composed of a like number of
each party and then vote a trip
to Enrope for the summer to
"study the money question" or
some like subject." Last Sum-
mer such a committee visited
Europe and has not so much as
reported to congress the result
of their findings. Perhaps nev
er thought of the "money ques-
tion" during all of the time
they were in Europe.
The people are discussing the
action of the county commiss-
ioners in making contracts with
the tax Ferrets. Some uphold
the commissioners and some
think they done a very foolish
thing. The men who have been
loaning private money 7 to 10
per cent per annum have no
more money to loan and want
what to due them paid. The
residents in this county who
have been loaning what little
surplus money they may have
had about them until they could
see an opportunity to invest it

The people arc begining to doubt
very seriously if there is a man in
congress who is free from the em-
braces of the Octopus' tentacles and
mindful of the interests of the
people as of the trusts and corpora-
tions. A candidate on the stump for
congress seems to be quite a dif-
ferent fellow in congress. On the
stump he lambasts the trusts and
corporations; but in congress he
fawns for favors from the trusts and
corporations.
"EUREKA" I HAVE FOUND IT THE
GE0ARAPHICAL CENTER OF
OKLAHOMA.
For some time there has been
about as much effort put forth
to discover the Geographical
center of Oklahoma as to find
the North Pole; but same has
not been attended with so great
sacrifice of life. Sometime
ago Prof. Meier, professor
of German in the State Univer-
sity, yearning for adventure
and some of the strenous life
tackled the proposition of find-
ing the Geographical center of
Oklahoma and a new Text Book
on "Higher Mathematics" may
be necessary before" Prof. Meier
will be able to clearly point out
to the satisfaction of citizens of
Guthrie and Shawnee that he
has as he claims, discovered the
exact Geographical center of
Oklahoma. Prof. Meier says,
that the center of Oklahoma is
located near the center of the
s w quarter of section 23 T 13
N R 3 west, or 2 1-2 miles east
and 1 1-4 miles north of Britton.
This quarter section is located
in a very beautiful high rolling
prairie country and of course an
ideal site for a State Capitol.

desire to make this school more

Several years ago when Mr. Edward

MAKE BOUNDARIES PER-
MANENT.
Guthrie. Okla., Jan. 26.—(Special)
iThe present county boundaries of
the state will practically be made per-
manent if the senate concurs in the
action of its committee of the whole,
which yesterday recommended by a
vote of 19 to 14 the passage of the
Thomas bill repealing the law pass-
d last year in regard to the proce-
dure for county division and the cre-
ation of new counties.
The bill was recommended for
passage only after a hard fight in
which the bill was vigorously oppos-
ed by Senators Blair, Franklin, Rus-
sell, Davis and Hatchett, while Sen-
ator Thomas was assisted in his
fight for the bill by Senator Stewart
and Senator Johnson.
A county convention of the Social
1st is called to meet in Norman on

CITY COUNCIL.
The city council of Norman in ses-
sion last night instructed city attor-
ney to draw an ordinance fixing a
license tax of $2 per month to be col-
lected from each penny peanut glass
bulb put up in this city outside of
builnings. One of the reasons urged
for making license so high was the
the temptation offered to young boys
to break machines for the peanuts
they contained. E. K. Himes was
named as City treasurer to 811 the va-
cancy caused by the death of city
treasurer Mr. Glenn Hooper. A num-
ber of petitions for sidewalks were
acted upon and the regular routine
work of allowing bills etc., transact-
