SAWED-OFF SERMONS
Some men seem to have reached the
pinnacle of their ambition when they
are able to He like a circus poster.
Some political reformers are ush-
erefl Into office witji a lot of noise—
and later they are ushered out with
a lot more.
There are 49 species of the house

polished patp of the bald-headed man

Fortunate is the man who can

ness when his wife asks him to matcb

Usually the man who expresses
willingness to dio for a woman during
courtship is too lazy to earn a decent
living for her after marriage.
WHY DON'T YOU DO IT?
Why don't you send away that little
gift you have been planning to send?
Mere kind intentions never accomplish
any good
Why don't you speak out encour-
aging words that you have in your
thoughts? Unless you express them
they are of no use to others.
Why don't you answer your friend's
letter at once? It will have a double
value If written promptly, and will
take no more time than by and by.
Why don't you create around you
an atmosphere of happiness and help-
fulness, so that all who come in touch
with you may be made better? Is not
this possible?—Selected.
While the smoke of the polit-
ical battle is being cleared up
while the final returns are be-
ing canvassed, before we know
to a certainty who will govern
this nation, this is written. In
such campaign's the most to be
regretted is the thousands of
broken hearts afcd heads and the
millions of dollars lost by the
conquered side, and the loss of
friends caused by a mere differ
ence of opinion. We used to see
a huge sign paintetl on a saloon
buildingiri Kansas City which
read: "If drinking interferes
with your business, quit your
business." We feel like saying
If politics interferes with your
business, quit business, or quit
politics; they won't mix. TIkj
Tribune has paid no more heed
to politics than seemed neceS'
sary in order to impartially rep
esent the republican party and
its grand principles, and for this
we make no apology. We thank
our democratic subscribers for
remaining on our list of readers,
and to the four or five who quit
us, our feeling is that they arc
the greatest losers. Now that
the contest is over we will very
gladly resume our interrupted
avocation of publishing the best
newspaper in LtrFlore county.
You shud induce your friends
to subscribe.
What is to hinder married women
from being as agreeable as widows?
If you mean well, as an evidence oi

When a woman has money, she is
never so very crazy about getting

Do you recall a time when you were

Being a professional musician in
country town is as hard a way of mak

Noted women, and women with
money lack that gentle consideration
for husbands that men have come to
expect.
A man gets better wages in a big
town, but he is compelled to pay more
tor butter and eggs. It evens up,
somehow.
If you want a man always to re-
member you, cheat him, or do him
bad turn of any kind; he will soon
forget a favor.
A wedding notice in a country news-
paper sounds like dukes and duch-

It scares the best of us to answer
the front doorbell, and find a great
big policeman standing there; It star-
tles us as much as does the ringing ot
the telephone bell very late at night,
or very very early in the morning.—

penses of the territorial government
In 1907 wore 1617,167.07 in all. The
appropriations of the fifth legislature,
1916, were $10,530,246.34.
The population of Oklahoma at stat'
hood was about 800,000; In 1915 the
state had about 1,700,000.

Wlthhheld Money From
How this unscrupulous poli.fr 'ot
hoarding cash works out to tin: in'
jury of the taxpayers, and especially
the farmer is apparent from tie fol-
lowing facts: Although the lav, rot
quires a semi-annual apport ionmoiit of
all common school money, the ofiiciaV
reports made sixteen days aftei th^
date of the July apportionment slowed'
a balance of $1,053,926.45 of common
school money on hand. On July
the school land department announced)
that all available farm loan funds hat?
been loaned and that no more appli-
cations for loans would be accepted.
On July 29th it was announced that a
call liad been made for the redemption
of $530,500 of 6 per cent warrants t(^
"obtain cash to covet pending farm
loans." l
On August 1st, before any of thai
warrants called had been redeemed.^
the report of the cashier of the de-'
partment showed available cash on,
hand for farm loans of not lesn than1
$1,060,461 57. At the same time tier®
were on hand other funds of the school
Hind department and the school child/
ren's portion of the gross revenue art,
cumulations in t.h« depository, amount
ing to $628,261.19, making a total
of school children's funds hoard"^
the banks $2,642,649.83, while v
time a call was out for $530,500\ £ '
cent money to "obtaiu cash i(i covet;
pending farm loan*."* Besides these
funds on hand in cash and some minorJ
general revenue money covered by ap-i
special funds, there was a balance Sj1
appropriations and outstanding siate
warrants, amounting to $392,957. On
a large portion of this money tbe state;
was losing from 2 per cent to 3 per,
cent in interest, the money being]
hoarded in the banks at 3 per cent?
Interest, while It could and should
have been applied to farm loans,
applications for which were turned
down on the pretext that all avail-
able farm loan funds had been ex-
hausted.

Here's One for the Amateur
Magician to Try on Friends
The performer spreads a newspaper
on a table, so that there may be no
suspicion of a trap or opening of any
sort, and on It sets a glass of wine.
Over this, for a moment, he throws a
borrowed handkerchief. Then, pick-
ing up the covered glass, be exclaims
In the language of Horace: "Nunc est
blbendum," and, snatching away the
handkerchief, shows a glass of water,
which he drinks.
Inside the glass, and dividing It like
a partition, is a piece of transparent
celluloid stained of a wine color; to
ihls Is attached a piece f>f line silk
thread, which hangs over the side of
the glass. On the free end of the
thread Is fastened a small black but-
ton, which enables the performer to
get hold of the thread easily and pull
nut the celluloid partition when re-
moving the handkerchief.
The drinking of the water is to do
way with the idea, tlmt some of the
audience may have, of any chemical
pr.-puration.—"Magicians* Tricks," by
Henry Hatton and Adrian Plate Id
Century Magazine.
Making the Banks
As a result of these methods of
politics "high finance" the democratic
machine had on deposit state funds
in about four hundred banks of the
state, averaging $13,875.18 to the bank.
A letter from the State Treasurer to
banks, advising them that they wore
assessed $25 for each $1,000 deposited
for campaign purposes goes a good
ways toward explaining this persls
tent policy of hoarding state funds In
the banks by the democratic "ma-
chine" now in power, to the detriment
of the farmer and the taxpayer in
general. The letter referred to was
photographed and circulated at the
last election. If the rate of assess-
ment per thousand on deposit remains
the same thls^year, the slush fund
from this source alone will amount to
$138,751,90.
A $20,000 "Rake-off."
There are other ramifications of
this dexterous method of feeding the
"machine slush fund" by the ubo of
the taxpayers money. During the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1916, $1,956,530
was appropriated for the maintenance
of twenty-five state institutions. In
addition to this, the fifth legislature
appropriated $1,692,032 for publlo
buildings and improvements. This
money goes largely for supplies and
materials, and large sums also are
spent for rents, Insurance, printing
and supplies for the state depart- I
ments. Of course, as in the case of !
the banks, no opportunity la
power and In control of the stale
government. The object Is to get as
much of the taxpayer's money as he
can be made to stand for. To accomp-
lish this, money Is needed to oil the
works of the "machine" to pay the
workers, and to spend on public con-
tracts. materials and supplies lavishly
enough to allow a generous margin
for campaign contributions by the
benefactors of such patronage. For
all of this, the taxpayer pays, and only
the taxpayer. He furnishes the
money for this gigantic, unscrupulous
[system that keeps the clique in power,
so that they may perpetuate their rule
. and get more money from him inde-
l finitely.
) The power of this octopus, the
'present democratic machine, is such
that snch democrats as see the danger
of it to the state and would gladly
ishake off its yoke, are helpless to ef-
fect reform within the party. The ma-
chine's grip, thanks to the generoufi
indifference of Oklahoma tavpnvcrs,
has become so strong that regener-
tlon of the party from within seems
beyond the hope of such democrats
as would purge thelt own party and
the state from sucb flagrant misrule
and abuse. The republican party
alone is equal to the task of freeing
the state from the political ring that
Is feasting and fattening on the peo-
ple's money and at the expense of the
welfare and safety of the common-
wealth. That Is why It should re-
ceive, and confidently expects, the en-
thusiastic support of every voter, re-
gardless of party affiliation, who is
anxious for the prosperity and integ-
rity of his state.
