SPLENDID CORN AND COTTON.
The Weekly Crop and Weather Re-
port Shows Fine Conditions in
Oklahoma.
Oklahoma City, O. T , July 12, 04.
For week ending Monday, July 11.
Heavy rains occurred over the sec-
tion on the fith and 7th, being exces-
sive over some localities, and scatter-
ed showers on the 8th, nth and loth.
Temperatures were above, and preci-
pitation slightly below the average
for the week.
Considerable damage was caused by
streams overflowing to crops and
property over Oklahoma and the
northern portion of the Indian terri-
tory.
Wheat and oat thrashing progressed
slowly over Oklahoma on account of
the rains, with yields ranging from
poor to fair Some damage has been
caused by wheat sprouting in the
shock, over the central and eastern
portions, and over the Cherokee na-
tion the greater portion of the wheat
is still uncut and badly damaged; over
these pottions, oats are also in p - r
condition, and have been ruined over
the Cherokee nation; the general pros-
pect is for a short yield of oats
Corn made a rapid growth, is silk-
ing out or coming into the roasting
ear, is well tilled, and generally is laid
by in good condition, but is weedy:
tl)e crop is nearly made and promises
a tine yield.
Cotton is still very weedy, but is
making a rapid growth and blooming
out; with the exception of its need
for cultivation its condition is very
promising, and the prospect is for an
above average yield.
Kaffir and broom corn, cane, millet,
milo maize and castor beans made a
g'.'Od growth, under favorable condi-
tions, and look well.
The first crop of potatoes have been
dug and planting for the second crop
is progressing.
The second crop of alfalfa is still
being cut: the cutting of hay is
slow progress, but will be general
with favorable conditions.
Range grass is in good condition
and stock is doing well, with some
being shipped to market.
Fruit is ripening: the early peaches
are being secured; the Albertas and
grapes are beginning to ripen.

Women More Conscientious Than
Men in Political Duties.
Mrs. Sarali Piatt Decker, of Colora-
do, the newly elected president of the
General Federation of Women'scluhs
says in reply to the general objections
brought forward against woman suf-
frage:
"I do nut hesitate to say that the
best women of Colorado have far more
conscience in fulfilling their responsi-
bilities as voters than the men of the
same class. We are constantly asked,
'But how do prominent women, with
their many obligations, have time for
politics?' My dear Madam-Behind-
The-Times, it takes about one hour in
a year to cast all the ballots necessary
and allowable!
"Has the woman vote completely
purified politics? It would be beyond
reason to expect such a result. Wom-
en have been in churches and society
since the beginning of time, but there
are still vicious minds and sinful
deeds in both religious and society
circles. The presence of women at
the polls as officers and voters has
brought quiet and order, while party
conventions are much freer from per-
sonal wrangles, profane language and
vulgar allusions, because women are
sitting as delegates.
''All thinking women admit thai
we have made some mistakes since we
have had the suffrage. But that has
been the experience of all newly-en-
franchised people. In the beginning,
the women voters of Colorado had no
guide except the traditions and advlie I
of the men of their families and ac-1
quaintance. That teaching was the
old one of party politics. We follow-
ed a blind lead; and to me it was a
terrible awakening to discover that
ray party was just as bad as t he other
and the other party fully as high-
minded in its purposes as mine. But.
in spite of any mistakesor disappoint-
ments, there is an indescribable up-
lift in the thought that one is no
longer classed with criminals, paupers
and idiots; and there is a much more
chivalrous devotion and respect on
the part of men, who look upon their
sisters not as playthings, nor as pro-
perty, but as equals and fellow citi-
zens."
The Santa Fe for St. Louis.
Residents of Norman and vicinity
who desire to visit the world's fair
should interview J. J. Baker, agent at
Norman, or any other Santa Fe agent
for rates and other information. The
Santa Fe is giving a service unsur-
passed by any other road and at rates
as low as the lowest. If you desire
sleeping car accommodation, you can
get it at Norman without change of
cars, direct to St Louis; and the chair
car and day car equipment is of the
finest. The track is ballasted the
entire distance, giving easy riding and
the utmost safety. W. F. Black, Gen
Pass Agent, Topeka, Kas., or any
Santa Fe agent will give you all in-
formation. The route is via Kansas
City, giving an opportunity to visit
that city as well as >t Louis.

goods chea per than at an> other you
ever actrnded. Kuckcr's Cash Store
Is the place, a'id you are cordially in-
vited to be there on any one of the

BKYAN DKCLAKfcS HIMSELF.
Uives Reasons Why he Will Vote for
Parker and Davis, But Scores the
Candidates and Platform.
Hon. W. J. Bryan has declared
himself. He,says he will vote lor
Parker and Davis, and gives the
following reasons;
ist. Because they stand in op-
position to imperialism, which
was the paramount issue in 1900.
2nd. Because Mr. Roosevelt is
injecting the race issue into poli-
tics.
3rd. Mr. Roosevelt stands for
the spirit of war; his friends pre-
senting him as a man of blood and
iron. He believes in strenuous-
ness and inculcates a love of war-
like things—while the democrats
stand for peace.
4th. The democratic platform
stands for a reduction of the
standing army.
At the same time Mr. Bryan
says Parker received his nomina-
tion by deception and doubtful
and crooked methods; that he
stands for all that is wrong in
Wall street methods; is the crea-
ture of the trusts; will not try to
reform the tariff, and is by no
means an ideal candidate.
"But," says Mr. Bryan, "the
fight on economic questions has
not been abandoned. It will be
my endeavor to reorganize the
democratic party for the tight of
1908, on economic and popular
government lines, as against this
plutocratic element that is now
in control of the democratic
party."
As Mr. Mark Hanna once said,
"The best asset of the republi-
can party is Mr. W. J. Bryan."
The four reasons he gives are
four strong reasons why the peo-
ple are in favor of Mr. Roosevelt
and his ideas. The imperialistic
bugaboo has long ago been ex-
ploded, "expansion" is now the
name for it; the race issue must
be settled along constitutional
lines; Mr. Roosevelt is a man of
blood and iron, and that's why
the people like him; a display of
power (as a standing army would
be) is nearly always the best way
to secure peace—and, besides, a
good sized army gives employ-
ment to many men taken from
other lines of labor, and offers a
field for ambitious young men.
The very reasons why Mr Bryan
will not support Mr. Roosevelt
will bring many, many voters to
his standard.
DEMOCRATS BElilN CAMPAIGN
WITH A LIE.
The telegram sent by the demo-
cratic convention to Parker be-
gins with the deliberate falsehood
that "the platform adopted by
this convention is silent on the
question of the monetary stand-
ard, because it is not regarded by
us as a possible issue in this cam -
paign." The truth is that in a
fight lasting many hours the com-
mittee on resolutions rejected the
gold,standard by a vote of 35 to
15. They decided to omit a ft-] "extermination of polygamy with-
nancial plank after a discussion of | 'J1 the jurisdiction of the United
all that were offered. The plat
WHAT THEY ARE SAYINU.
A Cowardly Platform
The democratic platform very
appropriately bears the impress
of the tricksters and dodgers who
framed it. As originally prepar-
ed it had a plank which said:
"The discoveries of gold within
the past few years and the great
increase in the production there-
of, adding $2,000,000,000 to the
world's supply, of which *7°o,-
000,000 falls to share of the
United States, has contributed to
the maintenance of a moni>*
standard of values no longeropev^f
to question, removing that issue
from the field of practical conten-
tion." Bryan, although a large
majority of the committee was
against him at the start, bulldoz-
ed that body into killing that
plank, and the platform will go
before the people without any
expression whatever on the fi-
nance question. All the New
Yorkers, the Murphy men as welK
as the Hill men, came to the con-*
vention resolved to insert a gold-
plank in the platform, and most
of the rest of the Eastern section
of their party stood with them, f
but the opposition in the West
and South was so powerful that,
rather than have another fight on
this issue on the floor of the con-
vention, they dodged it alto-i
gether, with the hope of foolingf
the silver men and the gold men
among the voters. In many other
respects the platform is equally
dishonest.
"We favor a wise, conserva-
tive and business-like revision
and a gradual leluct'on of the
tariff by the friends of the masses
and for the common weal, and
not by the friends of its abuses,
its extortions and its discrimina-
tions." The democratic majoiity
in congress framed this sort of a
tariff in 1894, which the demo-
cratic president called the "party
perfidy and party dishonor" tariff
and which he refused to sign, let-
ting it go on the statute book on
the expiration of the ten-daytime m
limit. That tariff failed to pro-^V
duce either revenue for the gov-®^-
ernment or protection for the 4
producer. The fear of the fram-
ing of just such a tariff, which the
people began to feel just as soon
as the news of the democratic*
victory in 1892 came in precipi-
tated the panic of 1893. This
panic and this tariff were among
the things which incited that
popular revolution which threw
the democracy out of control of
congress in the election of 1894
and expelled it from the presi-
dency in 1896. Had the platform
framers in St. Louis mentioned
this piece of recent history they
would have thrown a little side
light on their purposes at th
presmt time and have shown the
people just what to expect if tht
democratic demand for a "wise
conservative and business-like
revision and reduction of the
tariff should chance to be indors-
ed at the polls.
In St. Louis and in 1904 the
democratic party demands the
4
form is silent in that respect be-
cause Bryan would have offered a
minority report on the conven-
tion floor if a gold plank had been
adopted. But as the committee,
after a long struggle, rejected the
gold plank by 35 to 15, how could
the writers of that lying telegram
have the impudence to claim that
the platform is silent on theques-
J States." When there was real
! polygamy in this country which
was a menace to the people of its
region, and when the republican
party was fighting it, the demo-
cracy had nothing to say about
it. This is something also which
the platform framers neglected to
mention. The platform says the
democracy has been wanting an
isthmian canal for a long time,
but it forgot to add that when the
only chance for the construction
