These
democrats cannot be lined up for Joe
Cannon, nor for Victor Murdock. But
they will help us to take this state
out of the hands of the grafters who
now have it tied hand and foot, and
we will need their help.
This is not an effort to sacrifice
the congressional candidates in favor
of the state ticket. The stronger the
state ticket is, the more chance to
elect the congressmen. And the way
to make the state ticket strong is to
do nothing which will rob If of the
strength which it has even before it
Is nominated.
So let us sink our personal differ-
ences, and do that which sound Judg-
ment will undoubtedly indicate Is the
best for all. Let us not sacrifice
this opportunity which our party has
to be of real and lasting service to
the people, on the altar of factional-
ism or personal interest.

Chicago. Jan. 12.—In many es-
sential particulars the wheat trade
is in the same position as it was a
year ago. Now, as then, the trade
must rely on developments in the
domestic situation, as prices now, as
then, are far too high, as compared
with those abroad to hold out any
hope of export trade of importance.
It was contended a year ago that

of the public treasury, but—what's j developed that wheat reserves
the difference?
The Dally Oklahoman, democratic,
says editorially, "The Oklahoman
notes with mingled feeling of delight
and enthusiasm that the grafters and
peculators who crept into office w;hh
the aid of the democratic votes at
the first state election are being pret-
ty generally uncovered and shaken
loose."
The Eagle would like to have the
attention of every republican in the
state of Oklahoma just for a few
minutes, and this is addressed to each
sincere party worker, individually,
and to all collectively.
The republican party of Oklahoma
has a work before it which is higher
in concept and broader in principle
than the mere desire for office on
the part of any man or any number
of men. It is not party success for
party's sake, but party success
as a means of accomplish-
ing a laudable end. Party suc-
cess at the coming election means
more for the people of Oklahoma
than ever before. The people of the
nation look to the republican party
of Oklahoma to redeem the state
from the disgrace which it has suf-
fered in many ways. The taxpayers
of the state look to it for relief from
the burdens which an extravagant
and a dishonest administration has
brought about. Industrial develop-
ment looks to K for a removal of
the unwise restrictions imposed by
ignorance and demagogery.
The opportunity to accomplish
these things through party success in
the state is at hand. Nothing can
prevent it except bad judgment on
the part of those who will shape the
policies of the party for the cam-
paign. If ordinary judgment Is used,
and intelligent appreciation of the
situation shown, there can be 110
doubt as to the result.
The thing to do is to keep the slate
campaign separate from all other
considerations. There Is no division
in the republican party over state is-
sues. If this condition is maintain-
ed—if the wedge of national issues
is not driven into the state campaign
—the republicans will elect every
candidate on the state ticket, and
control the legislature.
There is no use denying the fact
that there is an honest difference of
opinion among republicans of the en-
tire country 011 some matters of na-
tional import. Oklahoma Is no ex-
ception to this. But all these mat-
ters will be adjusted within the party
and in the best interests of the peo-
ple.
Oklahoma republicans can fight
over these national issues, and call
each other names, and becloud the
wtate issue therewith If they desire—
and lose the state ticket, which will
carry down with it four out of the
five candidates for congress; or they
can confine the national issue to the
congressional districts, where they
belong, and let those republicans who
are contesting for the congressional
nominations take their chances at the
primaries
Till: < OST OK LIVING.
A new national problem has push-
ed Itself to the fore. It costs too
much to live. Prices have soared
skyward with startling speed for the
past year or two. Everybody except
the really well 10 do is up against It.
The clerk, 'the mechanic, the book-
keeper, the laborer, the railroad man,
the business man, the professional
man—nine-tenths of all our people
except the farmers—are wondering
how they will cope with the propo-
sition.
What's the cause?
No one seems to know exactly, but
everybody appears to have an opin-
ion on the subject. There is no
doubt that a large part of the trou-
ble lies in the carelessness and
thoughtlessness with which the aver-
age American family does its shop-
ping. We live too well; or rather,
we buy too much of the things which
we really do not need, and which we
would be better off without. We
do not use good judgment in the pur-
chase of foodstuffs in particular.
There is a whole lot of truth in the
following from the American Grocer:
"Why buy a prime rib roast cost-
ing 22 to 25 cents or more the pound
when a hind quarter of spring lamb
is sold at 16 cents? Why does a
family, forced to economize, pay 14
cents for a proprietary brand of roll-
ed oats when they can buy a like
quantity in bulk at half the price?
Why do the people pay a nickel for
a box of biscuit, weighing less than
half a pound when they could pur-
chase for the same cost nearly dou-
ble the quantity In bulk? These are
instances typical of hundreds of arti-
cles of food. If the situation is anal-
yzed we discover that the people re-
gard package goods with the greater
favor and willingly pay the higher
cost because of their convenience.
"The retail cost of food is influ-
enced greatly by the character and
expense of service demanded, and
that varies tremendously. It Is a
fact that a store whose customers de-
mand a luxurious service distributes
$100 worth of food at a cost to the
consumer of $125 and that it re-
quires $20 to $23 to cover the
pense of the service, leaving the deal-
er 2 to 5 per cent net profit. Within
the same territory are stores serving
a different class of trade, where the
expense of service is 12 to 16 per
cent, the net profit 6 to 10 per cent."

HARD LICK.
He Is not the onlylon (he farm were light and it re-
I quired all of them to supply actual
consuming demand, the quality car-
I ried over July 1 to the new crop
being the smallest ever recorced. It
was the contention a year ago that
virtually all of the surplus wheat in
the country was in the showcases,
and this proved correct.
There is the claim in many quart-
ers now that, while the showcases
show much less wheat than a year
ago on this side of the Atlantic,
t here is very much more in the in-
terior. if the government, figures
are correct this is certainly the case,
as exports are already about 25,-
000,000 bushels short of those of
the first half of the last crop year,
while there is a crop 72,000,000
bushels larger to draw upon.
Karmer I11 Control.
As to the prospect of foreign de-
mand. there are few now who en-
tertain any idea of it—at current
or higher prices. The position of
the importing countries is far more
comfortable than it was a year ago.
While the disposition of the
speculatively owned cash wheat in
this market is of much interest, its
real fate will probably be decided
by the farmer. If he holds his
wheat the speculative owner prob-
ably will be able to find ready buy-
ers for his supply. The farmer,
however, may no< decide it good
business policy to hold his present
crop into the next ohe. as the new-
crop promise this year is far differ-
ent from that of last—in fact, al-
most the exact reverse.
A vear ag^> the seeded acreage
was small and it went into the win-
ter in very unfavorable condition.
This year the acreage is probably
the greatest ever seeded, it went
into the winter in the best possible
condition and it has had favorable
conditions since.
Things never seem to come
my way, and so I'm sick and
sorry. I asked a friend of
mine, today, to sing me "An-
nie Laurie;" for I was tired
and sick at heart, and feeling
lorn and looney, and so he
pried his face apart, and sang
me "Annie Rooney." Twas
always thus since childhood's
hour, 1 always miss connec-
tions; for me the cream is al-
ways sour, and mouldy the
confections; when I would
gaily guy my frau, her temp-
er has a cross edge; the but-
ter never knew a cow, there's
whiskers on the sausage.
Last night I couldn't sleep a
wink, for thoughts of ghost
and bogey; 1 said: "I'll rise
and smoke a cabbage stogie."
1 tramped across the silent,
shack to find the measly dip-
per. and stepped upon a car-
pet tack—I wore not shoe or
slipper; and then I fell o'er
seven chairs, and landed in
the cellar. The neighbors
heard the frightful noise, and
came cavorting over, a hun-
dred idiots and boys, includ-
ing Old Dog Rover. "Well,
are you hurt?" the sillies
cried; it made my anger smol-
der; "I die too slowly," I re-
plied, "please hit me with a
boulder."

Plans for the propagation through
this state of the work of the men's
missionary movement, international
in scope and interdenominational in
character, were discussed at length at
a banquet at the Loewen Monday
evening and at a subsequent meeting
held in the office of Dr. Cotton yes- |
terday afternoon an organization for :
this purpose was effected.
At the banquet on Monday evening I
Rev. J. H. C. Smith and C. L. Stealey !
of Oklahoma City were present. Min-
isters from each of the churches in
the city and two lay members from
each church were present at the
meeting. A temporary organization
was effected, consisting of the follow-
ing officers:
President, Dr. Cotton; secretary,
Blaine Acuff; treasurer, J. E. Mc-
Carty.
It was decided that Enid should
have supervision over the work of
the Laymen's Missionary Movement
in the following counties: Garfield,
Grant, Kay, Alfalfa, and Wood.
At the meeting held yesterday att-
ernoon the temporary organization
was made permanent and there was
a press committee elected consisting
of R. J. Balch, R. C. Mills. J. E. Mc-
Carty. Finance committee, W. H.
Hills, E. S. Welch and R. C. Mills.
The pastor of each church in the
city was requested to name one mem-
ber of his congregation and these
taken together will constitute a com-
mittee on organization for Garfield
county. This committee will have
charge of the work in this city and
other towns in the county.
During the next week one pastor
and one lay member of each church
in the city will go to each county
seat of which Enid has charge and
meet with a committee consisting of
the pastors of the county seat and a
member from each of the churches.
These will be organized into a coun-
ty committee and will attend to the
woVk of the organization in those
counties.
In Oklahoma City there will be a
convention of the Laymen's Mission-
ary Movement on February 15-1«,
and it is hoped that the delegates
will aggregate so large a number that
a special t/ain can be run from this
city.
On Mav 6 there will be the Na-
tional Missionary Congress in Chi-
cago.

The Tour-of-Europe voting con-
test inaugurated by the Daily Eagle
a little over three weeks ago has
progressed far enough to assure its
ultimate success. The fact that the
Daily Eagle assured Its readers that
the contest would be fair was ac-
cepted by the public and the man-
ner in which the large number of
young ladies and their friends and
supporters have Interested them-
selves In the enterprise is ample
proof that they took this paper at
its word. During the three weeks
that have elapsed since the contest
got fairly started the interest has
developed to such an extent that
the success of the venture is fully
assured and the Dally Eagle takes
very great pleasure in stating that
it will give the winners in the four
districts and the chaperone chosen
to accompany the tourists on their
voyage the most delightful trip of
their lives and one that they will
remember with pleasure all their
years on earth.
Last Monday, the closing day of
the first period, the largest interest
was manifested and for hours the
entire clerical force of the office
was busy receiving votes and re-
cording subscriptions and when the
day was done it was found that an
even one hundred and fifty new sub-
scribers had been received during
the day, besides payments from a
very large number of old subscrib-
ers. The contest has five more
weeks to run and the indications
are that it will so far surpass all
previous contests held in this sec-
tion of the country as the prizes of-
fered far exceed any that have ever
heretofore been given in any news-
paper contest.

IN POLICE COURT
Robt. Johnson and "Snowball"
Smith, two negro lads, were defend-
ants in police court this morning
on the charge of affairs. When ther
explained the cause of their difficul-
ty a very complicated condition of
frenzied finance was exposed which
caused the spectators in the court
room to burst out in laughter.
According to the explanation of
Smith, which was not denied by
Johnson, the two boys met on the
east side of the square last night.
Previous to this Johnson had loaned
Snowball ten cents and the latter
had loaned Johnson the same
amount. "Snowball" claimed that
Johnson met him on the street last
night and demanded his ten cents
and he tried to argue with him
that since each of them owed the
other ten cents they were even. But
Johnson could not figure it that
way.
Snowball had no money with him
and he said that since he could not
convince his creditor and debtor
that they had ballanced accounts he
decided to go home and get ten
cents and by the exchange prove it
to him. As he left Johnson de-
manded him money without further
delay and there ensued a lively fis'-
icuff.
Both of the boys were fined ten
dollars. Johnson paid the fine and
Snowball was remanded to the city
jail.
