A Georgia court has decided that
to call a man a liar is a breach of
the peace and means a fight. This
is one of the cases where custom as-
serts itself as a lawmaker.
The more pleasing and pleasant
our government can make farm life
the better it is for the government
Our cities are over-crowded with
worthless loafers that might be hon-
orable and respectable farmers. The
rural route is one of the things that
has been provided to make farm life
more desirable and attractive, and as
we all have to live off the farmers
nothing should be left undone that
could be done to make the farm in-
viting.
Lincoln county gets road distric*
number one under the new good roads
law and the township securing it is
preparing to vote bonds for the pur-
pose of constructing a first-class road.
In agitating the bond issue the Chand-
ler Publicist gives this advice : "If
you are afraid that you will vote
against the good roads in district
number one, send your horse to the
polls—he knows better."
The Republican party had under-
taken *o recast the tariff schedules,
and it should do something positive
to redeem its pledges and to meet
obvious public expectations. The
weakness of the Senate bill as it
stands to-day is that it represents no
sufficiently definite change from the
Dingley program,—and with this
program the country has expressed
dissatisfaction in unmistakable lan-
guage. The Senate bill should offer
some evidences of a rational adjust-
ment to present conditions which can
be grasped and accepted by the pub-
lic.
It is hard to suggest an improve-
ment in spring weather when it is
doing its best.
The Republican politicians of the
state who are so vociferously kick-
ing against the new election law
amendments, claiming that it will
place unwarranted power in the hands
of the Democratic administration,
apparently forget to explain to the
people that those same provisions
are already a part of the election law
and are not in any manner changed
by the new law. Under the present
law the Governor appoints the state
election board, and the state board
ippoints the county boards. No
amendment contained in the new law
changes this, therefore it is hard to
see what advantage can be gained to
the Republicans by referring this
feature of the law to a vote of the
people, unless it be that the Repub-
licans want some primary education
in that "despised" feature of the con-
stitution (the Initiative and Referen-
dum) which they so strenuously op-
posed becoming a part of our law.
An Ex-Governor Locked Up.
The Kansas City Star of the 26th
ult., says: Frank Frantz, ex-gov-
ernor of Oklahoma, and a woman who
gave her name as Miss Edna Wilson
were arrested at 2 o'clock Sunday
morning in front of the Woodford
Hotel, Fifteenth and Chesnut streets,
after a quarrel in a motor car. They
were taken to the Central district
police station in a patrol wagon and
spent the remainder of the night in
cells. They were released on bond
Sunday, and Sunday night charges of
disturbing the peace against them
were ordered ropped by Chief Creecy
of the police department as a "cour-
tesy to a distinguished visitor."
There is a mass of information
about newspapers in the American
Newspaper Annual (published by N.
W. Ayer & Son Philadelphia, $5.00
net,) the 1909 edition of which is
just out. Catalogued in simple tab-
ulated form are the facts one needs
in dealing with newspapers when
particular attention to circulations
which are given in plain figures.
These are accompanied with valuable
gazetteer information concerning the
places where the publications are is-
sued. There are supplementary lists
of daily newspapers, magazines and
and class publicaiions. A colored
map of each State is bound in the
book, It also contains the adver-
tiser sTelegraph Code, compiled es-
pecially for the publishing interests
and filling a long-feft want in this
direction.

take the Daily and Sunday Okla-
homan, one year, the Cosmopoliton
Magazine each month one year and
the Almanac and Industrial Record
for 1909, all for $5.00.
Don't let this offer pass unnoticed
but take advantage of it.
A Beautiful Picture.
Did you ever notice how really
beautiful gum chewing makes a girl
appear? Take her de facto, and
gazing steadily, one cannot find a
more ideal picture. With a sharp
click ! cl ick ! her teeth, so white and
pearly, are clashing together as, with
cowish glee, she masticates her cud.
Then, too, one can note her health
tinted, wellrounded cheeks as they
grow a little more rotund, through
the material assistance of a big
"hunk" of gum. And really, who
can imagine a fairer spectacle than
that of her dainty upturned nose, as
it gently rises and falls in wave-like
undulations over the abysmal depths
revealed at each pressure against
the mass? Oh, how deliciously
tempting that rosebud mouth is as
the maiden fills it with a soft, pliable
chunk, and champing like a festive
goat revelling in the luxuries of the
succulent tomato can. she greets you
in tones husky with gum.—Prague
Record.
The telephone neck it the latest,
and the ladies should beware. It is
due to long standing at the tele-
phone with the receiver at the left
ear, piking, causing involuntary,
leaning of the head to one side.
It is more noticeable among those
living on party rural lines and sur-
geons declare the result is liable to
be a crooked necked generation in
he near future.—Exchange.
What Next. •
'Tia said in Oklahoma that only a
fool or a tender foot frcm the east
will prophesy about the weather, but
snowballs in April, and the latter part
of April at that, are something of
which few localities can boast of hav-
ing seen. We've got 'em in Ada to-
day, and what the harvest will be
remains to be seen. Suffice to say,
however, that gardens peach and ap-
ple orchard* and such like got theirs
The hardest hail storm ever seen in
this section is what the old timers say
of this morning's flurry.—Ada News.
Th's is the weather that taxes the
vitality of mankind—but it is said
that if you will carry in your pistol
pocket the jawbone of a cross-eyed
rabbit's left hind leg, killed in the
northeast corner of a graveyard, in
the dark of the moon, by a hump-
backed colored man, with a hazel
switch, you will be immume from
diseases of all kinds.

and Corday styles of Hats are found

prices before going elsewhere.

Competition
Does not worry us. Why? Be-
cause we have the goods and
the prices to bring us the trade, j
HOT AIR
And a few articles for leaders
at cost to fool the people does
not interfere with our trade.
Why? Because the people
know that our prices are uni-
form an average lower than
elsewhere.
PREVARICATION
Will not work in business.
How do we know?
BECAUSE
Our "competer" hid a little fad,
He thought would work quite well,
He'd intimate our goods were bad,
And that would sure raise the dickens
With our business, but it did'nt.
THE STORE OF THE PEOPLE.
