Here is a puzzle tyern- The Lion
and the Lamb lie Down together
—find the lion: For the first
Jime in the history of modern
politics, two rival candidates for
the presidency of the United
States will meet at the same
audience, when William H. Taft,
Republican, of Ohio, and William
.1. Bryan, Democrat, of Nebraska
are to be the guests of honor at
the annual banquet of the Chi-
cago Association of Commerce at
*it the Auditorium on the even-
ing of Ootober 7. It already had
been announced that Mr. Taft
would open the convention on
the afternoon of October 7, and
that Mr. Bryan would close it on
Oj apd that Mr. Taft would be
the gue3t of honor at the ban-
quit on the evening pf October 7.
Mr. Bryan's acceptance of the
dinner invitation, however assur-
ing a notable occasion, came as
a pleasant surprise.
. A thoroughly impartial review
of the political conditions as they
exist today shows that both the
great parties must be prepared
for surprises so peculiar and
complex is the situation.
i States that are considered safe-
ly,Republican or^ safely Demo-
pratio might, by .the action of a
governor or by a slip in speech
by a candidate, be.properly lift-
ed from one column into the
other or plaoed among those that
are doubtful. It is not expected
that either national committee
will agree entirely with the re-
sume. Designations vrhich please
tjhe Republicans will displease the
Democrats, while the reverse is
the c^se with the alignment which
plaoea in the doubtful > column
states on whioh Mr. Hitchoock
claims to hold a mortgage. For
instance, Mr. Bryan will object
to the classification of California
as Republican, while Mr. Taft's
managers will find fault with the
placing of Wisconsin, the terri-
tory of Senator LaFollette, whose
platform was adopted at Denver,
in the doubtful column.
Little items ftlip into Kansas
newspapers here and there telling
of the great results frdm1 raising
alfalfa for its seed. Alfalfa a«ed
>vill sell ordinarily fbr1 'abbtit !$11
a bushel. Naturally that inspir-
es many fartiiers to go and do
likewise. But experience is
proving a vital1 truth whioh it
would be well fbr any man who
has the "seed-bug" in his bon-
tnt to take due cognizanoe of.
Only dry countries are gfood for
raising alfalfa seed. Counties
In Kansas whefe there is little
rainfall, whera drouths are not
uncommon, produce big alfalfa
seed crops. But in c6ufttieo in
Which there id an abundailce of
Rainfall, where tb'e ground is
Soaked spring and fall, with
plenty sandwiched in between
those saasons in the summer, alf-
alfa seed raising ifi a failure.
Much moisture In ttitf ground
causes the alfalfa Stalkd to shoot
up to a refflatkible height and
Strength, and for some reason or
the flowers are not so plentiful,
4nd naturally there cdhnot be
much seed. ■ «

What do you want to leaVe
Oklahoma for and try your luck
some Jplace else. Nine times
out of tan you w}U get,(he , worst
of it. What better farm do you
want than right around Luther.
However if you do go, don't go
north. Don't get the Can,ada
fever. Reports of snow falls
have come from the Northwestern
country and it is reasonable to
assume that blithe summer has
gone and biting winter has set
its ioy seal on that region for the
next nine or. ten months. And
yet the festive land agent and
other enterprising agencies are
flooding Missouri, Kansas and
other parts of the Southwest with
seductive appeals, particularly
to farmers, to leave their pleas-
ant homes in this favored section
and take up their abodes in the
Northwest. Not,only that, num-
bers of farmers end others seek-
ing to better their lot have left
Missouri and Kansas in the last
two or three years, and some of
them have gane into the newly
opened provinces of Canada, in
response to alluring advertise-
ments portraying in glowing
terms the wonderful resources,
and particularly the immense
yields of wheat, of that region.
Why any intelligent person
should voluntarily leave the de-
lightful climate and fertile fields
of Oklahoma ©r Kansas! and go
to live in the bleak and lonely
regions of the Canadian iprovin-
ces is beyond our ken. The sin-
gle fact that he must forswear
his American citizenship in ord-
er to take up lands and acquire
the rights of a British citizen
ought to be sufficient bar to any
suoh step. Even though the
Canadian soil may produce a
larger yield of wheat, there are
many serious drawbacks in that
oountry that more than counter-
balance any possible gain in this
respect, and besides, the glitter-
ing prospectuses of the. land
agents' carefully omit to mention
the fact 'that unless the frost
comes at just the right time even
the wheat crop is a failure..'-
Even the best that the North-
western oountry in the United
States has to offer does not com-
pare with the manifold blessings
and advantages this greatf em-
pire of the So.uthwest affords.
Cur lands are quite as produc-
tive as theirs, our climate is im-
measurably superior, and for
every opportunity that the North-
west offers a young man, or an
old one.'the Southwest, includ-
ing Missouri,.'Kansas, Oklahoma
and Texas, offers two.
Moreover, think of fighting for
dear life to keep from freezing
to death for mttre than half one's
existenoe. Ir. Anaconda, for
example, summer began in real
earnest about the first of July.
And frost fell in Aufeuit. '"As a
rule, man is better off, no inatter
how poor; under the soft, Italian
skies of Missouri or Kansas or
any part of the garden spot of
the world known as the South-
west than he could possibly be in
the so-called ''banana belt'' of
the' Northwest—so-called, per-
haps, for the reason that a ban-
ana freezes there moot any month
in the year.
eport Cards.
O. L. Brooks, a member of the,
Guthrie school board, said.
"The new law does not any-
where give the school boards any j
authority to buy the small,
monthly school report cards, for
whioh W. S. Chapman has aj
oontract at the extortionate price
of four cents. Chapman has al- j
ready told our superintendent;
that the board must buy these |
cards and pay 4 cents each! We J
can find no law providing any I
such thing. The law does say ■
the children must furnish their
own books and report cards.
'•I notice Haskell says, in an-
swer to Flynn, that you can get
sixteen of these report cards for
four cents. If this is so, why is
Chapman trj ing to force the
Guthrie school board to buy them
at four oents each, when we
knew there is no authority of law
for suoh an act.
"Chapman is making no ar-
rangements with any book store
to handle these cards. He is
trying through the text book
commission to make school
boards violate the law and buy
them illegally.
"Well, we guees the people
will find who has iied about these
cards when they have to go to
the store and pay four cents each
for them.
"Any warrants," continued
Mr. Brooks, "drawn by a rchool
board for these, cards would be
null and void, for there is no law
to base it on. The old law pro-
vided for the purchase of these
cards and we now have on hand
about 1,000 but Chapman refuses
to make exchange, as is required
on text books. He proposes to
make his graft clear to the limit.
"The Guthrie school board has
deoided that under the law creat-
ing the Chapman contract it can-
not purchase these cards; that
the children must furnish their

From a careful compilation bas
ed upon the vote qf previous elec
tions it is evident that the vote of
of organized labor may be class-
ed as independent and free from
the dictation of the American
Federation of; Labor. Arguing
from the standpoint of votes cafct
in previous elections it is impos-
sible to detertaine any influence
of any so-callod labor vote. In
the very states where labor or-
ganisation lirle's are more strictly
drawn, the history of many elec-
tions has proven that the great-
est surprises have occurred at
the polls and directly laccredita-
ble to the laboring vote which
was supposed to be lined up for
an opposite result.—Manufactur-
