Talk as they may, it is up to
the democrats of the legislature
to stand for th<r laws enacted at
this session. There are so few
Republicans in this assembly
that the charge of "obstructing
legislature" will not go. Let us
hope the end of the session will
see no bad laws enacted, even if
there are no good ones.

again to what various and dis-

Publisher's Notice
The publishers are mailing out
statements to subscribers this
month showing standing of their
subscription accounts with The
State Journal. This is done
because we earnestly desire to
comply with existing postal laws
relating to expired subscription
accounts. We think now as we
always have thought, that we
have the best list of subscribers
of any small newspaper in this
country, and surely the few of
our subscribers to whom these
statements are sent, no matter
how sensitive they may be,should
not take offense thereat. While
this action is not exactly to our
liking, we trust that all our
friends will comply with these
statements promptly, so that
future notices will be unnecessary

Senator R. T. Potter, Republi-
can of Okmulgee, is the author
of a dark, dire and dreadful
scheme to materially reduce the
democratic vote of Oklahoma.
He has introduced a bill to "dis-
franchise for five years every
| man convicted of bootlegging in
|any form." You can bet your
boots that the democratic legis-
lature won't pass it.—Editor
| Bun ke in Norman Transcript.
Guthrie is after the Epworth
university which is now located
al Oklahoma City. Our obser-
vation is that an institution of
this kind is all right, and is a
good advertisement for a city,
but it is a tremendous drain
sometimes to keep it up. It
seems to us there are other
things that would be of vastly
more benefit to the building up
of Guthrie than an institution of
this kind.
The merchant or business man
who advertises steadily in Iws

builder—not the man who cries
aloud of the things "that orter
be did." Give us the man who

It is not too late to begin plan- j use for publicity and nine times
ning a campaign to "swat the in ten he's the man who will ad-
fly" when they make their first
appearances. It is a notorious
fact that the fly never dies in
Oklahoma, because of the winter.
The Oklahoma legislature will
adjourn tomorrow, according to
an agreement reached last week
between the two branches of the
assembly. We do not know who
will be sorry, but certainly not
the people.
A story comes from across the
sea of the remarkable phenome-
non of a "black snow" fall in
Switzerland. Remarkable, in-
deed, but out here in Oklahoma
mit that advertising pays-the
right kind. The man who
"beefs" around about "hard
times," and the "turrible expense
of advertisin' " bears no relation
to the real, wide-awake, up-to-
date merchant who lubricates
the wheels of his business with
persistent and judicious adver-
tising, but belongs to a class
that existed long ago.

Fifty years ago the drummer
was ubiquitous. But the place of
the drummer has been usurped
by the newspapers. The percent-
age of numbers of drummers
has been reduced to a minimum.
It was found that the newspaper
went where the drummer never
went. It neither slumbers or
sleeps. It is a talker from the
time it is born, and keeps up
talking until it dies. The news
paper advertisement never makes
any mistakes and always attei.ds

time to come. —National Adver-

We would respectfully refer
those who are smitten with the
Florida fever to an item appear-
ing elsewhere regarding one Lo-
gan county man's experience in
the everglade state. This man,
however, is fortunate in having
his farm to come back to. There
are those who are selling every-
thing they own here, land and
all, and going to Florida, not
even knowing where they will
locate, or what they will do
when they do locate. We attempt
no libel on the state when we
emphatically declare that the
average Oklahoma farmer is
much better off to remain where
he is. He may succeed in bet-
tering himself by the change to
Florida, but it is doubtful, and
where one may "strike it rich,"
one hundred others may lose out.
We are ready to be convinced
that the average Oklahoma farm-
er can better himself by making
a change,
