F
Hughes, Cannon and Taft; these
three ; but the biggest of all is Taft,
according to Teddy.
The wettest block in Kansas City
contains 25 saloons. Besides, the
Missouri river is handy.
When the new style of ladies' hats
have served their purpose as head
gear they will make elegant and
commodious porch cushions.
By the death of W. J. "Sryan of
Florida, Senator Gore of Okla-
homa is the youngest member of the
United State Senate-he is thirty-
eight years old.
The Oklahoma City Times-Journal
was sold last week to Omar K. Ben-
edict. Mr. Benedict is a bright
newspper man and will make the
Times-Journal a bright and aggres-
iv: Rupublican organ.
An exchange tells of a man who
called at the home of a farmer friend
the other day and finding a little
bov in the yard asked where the
father was. The little fellow replied.
"Papa is out in the pig pen. You
can tell him—he's got a hat on.
The growth of the Modern Wood-
men for the year 1907 broke all pre-
vious records. In Missouri alone
14,154 new members were added
and 147,834 in the entire jurisdic-
tion. There were only 9 assessments
in 1907, which left a balance in the
treasury of three and one-half mill-
ion dollars.
The unfortunate Pittsburg million-
aires are again in trouble. A minis-
ter in the Smoky City has started a
crusade against the £.tyle of weddings
adopted by the "sudden rich." Be-
tween panic and preachers, punsters
and the press, there seems to be very
little fun in being a Pittsburg million-
aires these days.
An editor in the northern part of the
state, who had long been a prominent
churchman,recently tendered his res-
ignation to the pastor. When press-
ed for a reason for such action, he
replied that "power for my press is
furnishei by a gasoline engine, and
no man can serve God and operate
one of those blankety blank things
at the same time."
There are politicians in Washing-
ton who predict that the battle of 1908
will be a tarriff fight in spite of ef-
forts to suppress it. There is a
chance that minor issues will foiced
into the baek ground and that the
Democratic party will summon all
colors and shades of Democrats to
rally to the tariff issue. It is well
understood that tariff revision is go-
ing to be a mighty tough job the
toughest, without doubt, that the Re-
publican party ever undertook and t
will be miraculous if it does not turn
out more of a log-rolling than a revis-
ion. Every special interest will be
on hand demanding a riveting and
strenghening of all the monopolies it
now enjoys. This is what tariff revi-
sion by its friends means.
I believe the day is at hand when
the workman can no longer be de-
luded by the cry of protection. Of
what possible interest can it be to a
workingman out of a job and out of
money to tell him that the country is
growing greater, grander and richer
under the repuolican policy of protec
tion? What he wants is work,
steady work with enough money in his
envelope on pay-day to settle the
necessary bills for support and edu-
cation of his family, and at the same
time have something left to lay away
to provide against old age and sick-
ness. Look around you and see
what a very small percentage cf
working people are able to do more
than plod along, with little hope and
no provision for the future. Gov.
W. L. Douglas of Mass., the big
shoe manufacturer.
A boy who can run five miles play-
ing base ball and never feel the least
bit tired will, inmost cases, says the
McKinney Courier-Gazette, become
almost exhausted after working fif-
teen minutes. Ever notice it? And
the Luther Register man says : And a
man who can walk nine miles around
a billiard table without tiring a mus-
cle caves in at the knees when he? is
asked to run on a little errand for
his wife. Ever notice that?

The legislature, in considering the
school land question, should bear in
mind that, while there are 37,000
school land lesseess there are 1,500,
000 other citizens of the state also
interested in the lands. The lesseess
should recieve fair treatment and be
accorded the preference rights to
which they are entitled, but in deal,
ing with the school land matter the
interests of the entire state should
be considered. —Oklahoman.
