Senator Warren Need Not Bo
Taken Seriously.
National Ruin He Predicts as Result
of Proposed New Tariff Law It
Merely Figment of Wyoming
Statesman's Imagination.
SEPTEMBER 23—OCTOBER 4, 1913 Gentle render, do not worry.
j The fact that Senator Warren of
Wyoming seen ruin for the country in
the woolen schedule of the Underwood
tariff bill Is not so alarming as It
I seems.

lion sheep. Me has been called "the
Boys and girls in every county of greatest shepherd since Abraham."

In the contests arranged for the sev-

ber 23 to October 4. 1913.
It is not an unusual thing to see
an acre of corn, an acre of kafircorn
or milo, a couple of acres of cotton,
or one-tenth of an acre of vegetables
in all sections of Oklahoma. These
The Aldrlch tariff duty of 11 cents per
pound on wool gives a very tidy boost
to the senator's income—at the ex-
pense of every consumer of wool in
the United States. But so long us he
can pasture his sheep on the public
domain in Wyoming and Colorado and
the price of mutton keeps going higher
It Is not likely that free wool will
ruin even Senator Warren, and surely

If Senator Warren is unable to earn

Contrast to Be Noted.
Two southern newspapers furnish
an instructive contrast in breadth of
view and soundness of political con-
victions.
Thp New Orleans Picayune Is nomi-
nally a Democratic paper. It support-
ed the candidacy of President Wilson.
Yet the moment it became clear that
President Wilson meant to keep his
own and the party's pledge of revi-
sion of the tariff, the Picayune turned
against him. It is now denouncing
hiin as a "radical, heavily tainted
with socialism," and protesting or
supplement cash prizes offered * rather raving against any appreciable
reduction of the tariff on Bugar and
lumber

State Fair and others who are inter-
ested in the welfare of the boys and
girls of Oklahoma.
The Atkinson, Warren ft Henley
Company, farm loans, of Oklahoma
City, has just authorized the State
Fair management to announce a
sweepstake of $25 in gold to the boy
or girl making the highest total score
In the Kafircorn Contest. Orion Mc-
Math of Reed, Oklahoma, won this
prize last year.
A new feature this year will be sev-
en prizes amounting to $35 for the
best peck of Spanii-h peanuts. These
specials are offered by the Russell-
Duncan Jobbers' Mills of Oklahoma
City for the purpose of encouraging
th Spanish peanut industry in Okla-
homa. The contest is open to all
residents of any age in the state,
Exhibits must be grown in Oklahoma.
Size, color and maturity will count
In the scoring. Every exhibitor in
this contest will receive a large size
jar of "Rusdun" peanut butter, made
tn Oklahoma from Oklahoma peanuts.
All told, there are 574 premiums
offered to the boys and girls of Okla-
homa with a total of 12,710 In cash
prizes and sweepstakes in the Corn,
Kafircorn, Cotton, Canning and Pig
Club Contests, together with the pea-
nut specials. The latter contest Ib
for all ages.
In addition to the specials already
mentioned. Senator T. P. Core will
give the boy or girl making the best
totals mere in corn, a free trip to
Washington. D. C., with all expenses
paid. A free trip to Washington and
prizes amounting to $150 are offered
by the Oklahoma Cotton Seed Crush-
rs' Association in the Cotton Contest,
while the Ft. Smith and Western Rail-
road offers $200 to hoys in counties
touched by that road for the beBt
total score in cotton hy teams and
Individuals. The Ft. Smith and West-
ern has also augmented the premiums
of the State Fair in the Canning Con-
test by offering $125 in prizes to gills
residing in counties touched by that
line.
The Boys' Pig Club Contest Is at-
tracting much attention and sixty-four
boys from thirty-two counties will
compete for the State Fair prizes and
for the specials offered by Morris and
Company, Sulzberger ft Sons Com-
pany, the Oklahoma National Stock
YardB Company and the Oklahoma
Stockyards National Bank.
The Florida Times Vnion Is also a
Democratic paper, of the conservative
type. It supported Wilson, though
without enthusiasm. But the moment
President Wilson began his work of
securing a revision of the tariff, the
Times-Union put its entire influence
back of him. When a clique of orange
growerB In Florida denounced the pro-
posed reduction of duty on citrus
fruits, the Times-Union, in the name
of the state, repudiated their action,
and assured the president that Florida
was seeking no graft and needed no
subsidies.

Nothing In "Labor" Cry.
Sugar and wool, the two citadels of
Aldrichism, cannot make a "labor"
plea. High-priced land, rather than
high-priced labor, has checked the de-
velopment of wool growing in this
country; and the sugar industry pays
very low wages. The constant cry of
beet sugar growers of the west has
been for plenty of cheap "gang" labor;
and only constant watchfuness has
prevented child exploitation in west-
ern beet fields quite as bad as that
recently uncovered in canning fac-
tories
A fraud driven into the open 1p
more than half beaten. Aldrichism
has lost its "labor" mask.
To His Own Self, He's True.
Governor Foss of Massachusett
was elected to his present position as
a Democrat, now declares himself a
Republican, and experts to head the
state ticket of that party at the next
election.
It is an error, however, to speak of
Governor Foss as having changed his
politics. He never had any politics,
save a single-minded affection for him
self and a firm faith that the chief
duty of the American people is to
make him wealthy and famous He
has not deserted these cardinal prin-
ciples. He is merely trying to get into
the chicken roost from the Republican
side.
Wail From French Jurymen.
In France, as well as in England,
jurymen have their grievances. The
latest can easily be remedied. The
French minister of justice has re-
ceived an address signed by citizens
figuring on the Paris jury lists, pro-
testing against the bare appearance
of the courts where they have to sit.
They point out that if—lired of look-
ing at the judges, counsel, witnesses
and other partieL to a suit—they turn
their eyes upon the walls, nothing hut
an inartistic paper meets their gaze.
In order to relieve this deadly mo-
notony they beg that a print of Prud
hon's famous picture, "Justice in Pur-
suit of Crime," may be hung in each
court.
ECZEMA ON HEAD AND FACE
Reedy, W. Va—"My bahy boy
when three weeks old took the ecze-
ma on the head and face. It broke
out In pimples and first they looked
like blisters and a yellow water would
run from them His head was per-
fectly raw and his hair was all gone.
Everybody said he would never have
any more hair. As the sores spread
his hair came out. The breaking out
itched so badly that we had to keep
gloves on his bands to keep him from
scratching his head and face. It
caused disfigurement. He couldn't
rest at night it burned and itched
bo badly

i and he got worse all the time. So

"What are you going to do?"
"Who, me? I'm going to get a row-

"Fish? The last fish was caught
out of that lake three years ago."
"Well, I know that. Suppose 1 don't
get any fish, I've had a tiptop boat
ride, haven't I?"
Interesting Beginning.
A fair graduate was conversing with
a young gentleman who had been pre-
sented to her after the commence-
ment exercises.
"Well," she sighed happily. "I am

Yes," he replied, "but 1 am only a

The fair grad pondered. The de
gree was puzzling.
"Why, what is that?" she asked.
