cropping had all but exhausted its fsr-

fitable. And there are thousands of
such farma scattered all over the eas-
tern state* booking buyers.
The tenant system la one cause of
this alarming sterility and as teuants
flee from skinned farms the real estate
goes on the bargain counter simultan-
eously with his disappearance. This
process has not been confined to <he
far eastern states by any means. In-
diana. MlchJfan and Ohio have suffer-

Is this defertillwitlon that explains why

Undoubtedly the greatest problem
confronting the skilled agriculturalist
is the economical and profitable ^fer-
tilisation of denuded land. It offers
an attractive sphere for acquiring
wealth. It has been said that any fool
can .spend money, but wirtlom is need-
ed to make It, and ihe axiom applies
with equal force to th* man who skins
the soil.

It some times takes a long time to
make up for the trouble caused by a

way for a whole lot of other newer and
more exasperating trouble.
In the Creek nation the announce-
ment that Hon. Tarns Bixby wants
to be a senator is taken seriously. And
there are a number of protests. It Is
rot rrobable that Mr. Bixby views the
0$ | matter as vital. He would be lone-
some if he were not In the public ♦ye.
When the statehood bill shall pass

IRRIGATION LAW
AND ITS EFHECT
The national Irrigation law Is like-
ly to be regarded In ihe future as one
of the very best works of slaleaman-
shlp of the present generation, since
It will convert otherwise valueless land
Into productive farms and create thriv-
ing centers of population.
This will be accomplished if ihe gov-
ernment acts with ordinary foresight
ami retains possession of the lands
which It. expects to Irrigate until It is
ready to turn them over to the set
tier aud bome maker. At present they
are slipping from the paretal grasp at.
rate unparalleled In the hlafory of
the nation. Last year the govern-
ment granted away an area equal to
the entire slate of Indiana.
Congress will probably not act un-
til public sentiment demands It, but
thnt sentiment should Insist that the
laws under which all this land spolia-
tion is occurring be shorn of their
force at once. They have been held up
to public scrutiny and found vicious
and dangerous to the public welfare.
Now they should be killed forthwith.
The opposition- to their repeal is
found exclusively In those Interests
which have for long profited by their
and their abuse, but this should
not w eigh for an ViHtanl I be
general good.
The continued drought In this coun-
ty has had no effect on the democratic
candidate crop, and the yield will be
as large as usual. It is a fungus that
can neither be frozen nor burned out.
says the Hobart News-Republican. But
then it should be borne in mind that
' one reason why the crop of democrat-
ic candidates is large In that section la
hecauie many of them are from Texaa.
Texans are not overmodest in asking
for what they want.
Swltxerland, $60.28; those of the Uni-
ted States are given at $17.32 per cap-
ita. These figures, like the others of
commerce quoted relate to domestic
exports only.
Gold li stated as the standard of cur-
rency 1n all of the countries named, ex-
cept Bolivia, Guatemala, Honduras,
Nicaragua. San Salvador, China, the
French East Indies, Mexico, Paraguay,
and certain German colonlos. These
ten countries whose standard of cur-
rency la given as silver show a total
commerce of |U81.194,000 out of a to-
ommerce of $22,000,000,000, or a
little less than 3 per cent of the grand
total.
If Oklahoma bo lucky the people of
this commonwealth will vote for a set
of state officers beforo long. But If
they be not allowed that privilege the
people will have something doing. It
would l>e a shame If they were compel-
led to resort to building moro railways
however, for the farms are becoming
disfigured too rapidly by the encroach-
ments of commerce.
Interest In the Creek nation la not
more Intense here than Interest in Ok
lahoma Is over there. We may become
acquainted after a while and who can
say what may happen. Acquaintance
Is the first step to a great many things.
It is announced In Muskogee that
but one man is being mentioned for
national committeeman over there and
the people are all clambering Into his
wagon. It is nice to be harmonious
and pouular.
The Okmulgee man who resents the
Bixby btwm oeing launched in his town
may console himself with the thought
that he Is only one and may not bo
true after all.
The season of conventlona aud log
rolling is "almost upon us" as the

CURRENT COMMENT
Boys and Cigarettes.
Omaha News.
The effects of cigarette using by young
boys would be a startling revelation
many of their mothers If they understood
the alarming proportions to which" it has
given in thla country.
A magistrate in aHriem court. Now
York, made the following significant dec-
laration the other day:
"Yesterday I bad before me thirty-five
boy prisoners. Thirty-three of them were
confirmed cigarette smokers. Today,
from a reliable soruce, I have made the
grewsome discovery that two of the larg-
est cigarette manufacturers In this coun-
try soak their product In a weak solu-
tion o( opium."
The fact that of thirty-five prisoners
thirty-three smoked cigarettes might
seem to Indicate some direct connection
between cigarettes nnd crime.
Atid when It is announced on authority
thnt most cigarettes are doped with op-
ium. this connection is not bard to under-
stand.
The cigarette Is to young boys very
much lige what whisky Is to grown men.
If It does not directly cause crime It at
least acoompsnles It In nine cases out df
ord*.
The revenues of the government a
about 12,100.000 0a year, and allowing
sufficient sum for expenses, that ought to
provide the president* With, say. 1600,-
000 apiece on tho average, it would Seem
that that sum ought to be enough to keep
average Dominican president quiet ft

t forever struggling to get back in.
Apparently, however, tho overprodne-
>n of presidents la not the only trouble
in the Islands. "There is- also an overpro-
duction of generals. We hear from San
Juan, Porto Rico, that a party of thirty
followers of Wos y Oil, "Including all
revolutionary generals now here."
have left that place for Puerto Plata,
where they will proceed to poln the army
of Jlmlnes generals and make things live-
ly once more. The Morales generals are
getting ready to receive them. There
Ix also—orwaa at last reports—another
revolutionary army of generals In th
southern part of the republic, said to be
the most formidable army of all. Then
there Is Vasque*. who Is now growing
sugar In Cuba. If the tit strikes him be
may suddenly take all th generals who
have been busy In bis cane fields back
to the scene of heroism.
The United States get* along with thir-
ty-four generals all told In Its regular
army. On n corresponding ratio Santo
Domingo ought to have about one-quarter
of one general for ita entire supply. Evl
dently Its overproduction of generals Is
worse than Its overproduction of presl
dents. If we were there we would

WHY PEOPLE COME
TO OKLAHOMA
The number of Illinois farmers who
are constantly coming to Oklahoma,
accompanied by their neighbors from
Iowa, Ohio and Indiana is indicative
of the Interest that is being taken in
this territory by home seekers. The
number of them whd remtid tb Ibvbst*
in Oklahoma farms shows, the plreugth
of the argument to them that makes
the Oklahoma homestead 'of a few
years ago look better to them than the
old farm in the oid states.
The price of farm lands in the old*
er and more desirable sections of Ok-
lahoma has advanced steadily since the
first few years until the .pricQ of .a
quarter section of Oklahoma farming
land is now a very dlfcniflett sum wh&n'
compared with the price a few ^ears
ago. As compared with the value of
farming lands in 4he old-states,-how*
over, It is very low. That is the com-
parison that Is made "by the liome-
eeekers. • •
The products of the Oklahoma land,
taken acre for acre are as valuable as
those of the old farms in the states
named. And the soil in Oklahoma is
not depleted as it is in the states and
the climate is better.
These are cogent reasons why Okla-
homa lands are advancing in val-
t us all of the time. These are the first
; rsasons why people are seeking homes
hfn. this land of the Fair God.
AGGREGATE COMMERCE
OF THE WORLD
In a recent statement issued by the
department of commerce and labor at
Washington, the total exports of the
principal countries and cities of the
world ace placed at $10,278,616,000 and
the total Imports at $11,525,755,000,
making the aggregate commerce $21,-
804.391,000. For most of tho countries
the figures stated relate to the year
1002, In a few cases they are for 1901,
aud In some cases for 15)03. The ag-
gregate of the world's commerce at the
present time may therefore be set
down In round figures at 22 billions of
dollars. While presumably all exports
become in turn imports, the stated val-
ue of these Imports exceeds by more
than one billion dollars the Btated val-
ue of the merchandise In question
when stated as exports.
The Increased value In the state-
ment of merchandise imported when
compared with the statement of value
of the same merchandise when export-
ed Is accounted for in part by the
value added through transportation,
insurance, etc.. and in part also by
19 fact that statements of value are I stomach and
ore carefully and rigidly made when weakened for life is the
It must be universally admitted that
the majority of young boys addicted to
cigarettes are generally regurded as Kid
boys. It Is addiction that does not not
ally Itself with the high virtues of manly
youth. It leads to bad associations nod
bad environment. Mo must be a strange
liny Indeed who can derive moral and
phalcal good from cigarettes.
Opium Is like whisky—It creates nn In-
creasing appetite that grows with what
it feeds upon. Even pure tobacco has
tho same effect.
The growing boy who lets tobacco and
opium get a hold upon his nenses Is never
!..ng in coming under the domination of
hwlaky. too.
Tobacco Is the boy's easiest and most
direct road to whisky. When opium Is
nded, the young man's chance of resist-
ing the combined forces and escaping
physical, mental and moral harm Is slim
Indeed.
It is a deadly combination in most
cases. There are few. If any. eases In

The stocaa of.money in the countries

Some republican papers think New |
York will go ugainst Roosevelt in the

Ocean Is one of them. It says It Is to-
day "evident that, unless some great
change takes place In New York, the
president will loee hla own state In the
coming election to any democratic candi-
date who la deemed safe by Its business
intereats." A 'safe- democratic candi-
date, from the Wall street viewpoint,
would be Cleveland or Gorman, probably.
Cleveland baa taken himself out of the
race, however, by declining to be con-

probably. Cleveland has taken himself
to be considered in that connection, and
Gorman, probably. Cleveland has taken
himself out of the race, however, by de-
