The man who is prejudiced for
or against a cause or person can-
not possibly form a right estimate
of that cause or person.
Some men are so addicted to
the making of money that they
can never let up to take a rest.
The rim of the dollar is the hori-
zon of their life.
When a man in public office al-
lows his conscience to become de-
flected by fear or favor, he Is no
longer a free man but a slave, and
as such he is unfit to hold office.
A man has successfully gone
over Niagara Falls in a barrel.
This goes to show what fools some
people will make of themselves
and what a lot of other people
there are eager to see them do it
It is good to learn of the great
wealth in the vaults of the nati-
onal treasury and of the per capita
wealth of the nation. But after
all the true wealth is not to be
found in gold and silver, but in
the character of the people.
The difference between bill
board advertising and newspaper
advertising is just this—that with
the first you have to go to the ad-
vertisement while in the other the
advertisement goes to you. And
that makes all the difference in
the world with business
This office is it, receipt of the
9th anniversary number of the
Thomas Tribune, Bronson and
Niohols, publishers. This num-
ber is without a doubt the nicest
thing in the souvenir edition line
we have ever seen. Besides being
well edited the general make-up
and press work shows that the
output was in master hands. The
town of Thomas should be proud
of these energetic newspaper men.

Good Roads Meeting
<>n Wednesday of this week a
big good roads convention was
held at Enid and whs attended by
delegates and other boosters from
all towns south from Caldwell to
Chiohasha on the Hock Island.
The purpose of this meeting is
to pull the proposed state road by
the west route along Rook Is-
laud towns, instead of via Santa
Fe towns through the state.
Caldwell, Kansas, is taking on
active part in this move and last
week sent delegates to the differ-
ent Oklahoma towns soliciting
their support in securing the
road for the west route.
It is claimed that a road on
this route oan be mane and main-
tained much cheaper than on the
proposed east route.
Of course we are for the Rock
Island towns route, but would al-
so like to see our eastern neigh-
bors build good roads.
