POLITICAL ANNOUNCE-
MENTS.
For Commissioner, 1st District.
We are authorized to an-
nounce the candidacy of James
Zachary, for the nomination
of commissioner, l3t district,
Okfuskee County, subject tc
the action of the republican
primary, August 8.
Let's have a big general
Clean-Up day before the sea-
son gets so late.
We have read a thousand, more
or less, explanations of why Garri-
son resigned. Boiled down, they
all come to this: Garrison is an
honest minded man.
George W. Perkins regards Wil-
son's western speeches as proof
that he lacks ability to forecast
the future. Wilson's conduct gen-
erally proves, in addition, that he
lacks ability to interpret the past.
About the time of his election,
President Wilson said that he would
dislike to thing that the success of
an administration depended upon
one man. Upon this also he has
apparently changed his mind.
However, the Colonel might com-
promise on menial work for paci-
fists by letting them do the knitting.

ing the "nitting" now, as far as ad-
ditional taxation for preparedness
is concerned. "Nittings diddings."
"Republican opportunity is knock-
ing at the door of Oklahoma and
•Jim Harris ought to step aside and
let it enter." is the opinion of H. E.
P. Stanford, formerly a resident of
Oklahoma and one of the most prom
inent republicans in the state. Stan-
ford has written to republicans in
the state urging them to do their
best. "Oklahoma will never be re-
publican," he says, "so long as the
rank and file believe as they have
under Harris regime, that the con-
test is in the interest of individuals."
While we regret this fight that
is being made by the Harris-Mc-
Graw elements in the state republi-
can ranks, we can see no reason why
Noble county should not be for
McGraw. Harris is not known In
this county except by a few of the
old-time politicians, while McGraw
is our neighbor and has many in-
terests in common with the Noble
■county business men and farmers.
His republican principles are not
questioned and he has proved time
and again that he was a factor in
electing Bird McGuire to congress
and in every way advancing the re-
publican cause. Every argument
favors McGraw being given a soild
delegation from this community.—

OUR POLITICAL GOSSIP
From Washington, by Special Correspondet.
Washington, D. C., March 2.—
"Live and Let Live" is the traiff
policy of Fred L. Davis, Presdent
of the Gloucester Board of Trade,
an owner of fishing scooners, a
packer of deep-sea fish, and a re-
tailer of fish in the local market of
his home town.
While in attendace at the meet-
ing of the National Chamber of
commerce in Washington recently,
Mr. Davis gave expression to his
views and told the story of the seri-
ous injury to the deep-sea fishing
industry of the North Atlantic coast,
as a result of the enactment of the
democratic tariff law.
"I know of only two men in
Gloucester who are still advocates
of free trade," said Mr. Davis.
"They are importers of green salt
water fish who believe it is best to
buy where they can buy the cheap-
est regardless of the injuries that
may be suffered by others. Most
of us have olng believed that one
industry cannot be permanently in-
jured without that injury being re-
flected upon other enterprises, more
or less directly connected there-
with. We have had a practical dem-
onstration in Gloucester, the prin-
cipal fishing center of America.
"Beginning with the drafting of
the reciprocity treaty, which Cana-
da fortunately refused to appfove,
the fishing industry suffered and
declined. It was evident that a
reduction of the protective tariff
was imminent and men who make
the large investments necessary in
the construction of fishing schooners
ceased to build new vessels to take
the place of those that were sold
or lost by accident. As a conse-
quence we have disposed of or lost
11,152 tons capacity of fishing
schooners, and at the same time
have acquired only 5,715 tons, in
the Northeast deep-sea fishieries.
"Because fish are now being re-
ceived free of duty from Nova Sco-
tia and Newfoundland, where lower
wages and lower operating expens-
es permit a sale at less than the
American fishermen can afford to
take, the Canadian has taken a con-
♦ ♦ ♦
♦
<$> ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ * ♦
siderable portion of our market
from the American fishermen with-
out the American consumer buying
his fish at even a fraction of a cent
less cost.
"The American buyer of fish
pays his money to a resident of
Nova Scotia or Newfoundland and
that money is spent for the purchase
of supplies and the maintenance of
homes in the dominion of Canada.
The loss has fallen upon American
business, and though it is a rela-
tively small loss, it is a loss that
must be felt in every section of the
country.
"Under normal conditions Ameri-
can fishermen are buyers of all kinds
of products from every section of
the country. With their markets
seized by foregin producers, they
have been without the means to buy
and as a result houses are vacant,
retail merchants have lost a large
portion of their trade and property
heretofore used for the handling •
and packing of fish has greatly de-1
teriorated in value.
"Undoubtedly the farmer of the
middle west voted for the free trade ;
thought he would buy his sale mack-
erel and smoked herring at a little
less price per pound, but he has not
done so. He injured his own mark-
et for his products without helping
himself in the least. If those mid-
dle west farmers could go to Glou-
cester and see the effects of the free
trade policy, they would agree with
me that the only wise theory upon
which to enact a tariff law is that
of "live and let live'.
"We cannot find profitable mark-
ets for our fish unless the farmers
and manufacturers of this country
are prosperous also. I have no par-
ticular prejudice against the fisher-
men in Nova Scotia or Newfound-
land. I do have a very decided pre-
judice in favor of the American
producer, wheather he be a fisher-
man, a lumberman, a farmer, a
manufacturer or a miner. I want
every legitimate American industry
to prosper, and, therefore, my tar-
iff policy is summed up in the phrase
'live and let live."

THE CURE FOR CRIME!
The newspapers of the coun-
try are the printed records of
public events in the communi-
ties in which they are publish-
ed. It is shocking in the ex-
treme as we read our newspa-
pers today to notice the large
number of boys and girls hard-
ly old enough yet to be called
young men and young women,
who are manifesting all the
characterisics ofhardenedcrim
inals. So frequent are these
reports in the papers that a
new phrase has entered our
vocabulary. That phrase or
name is Baby Bandit. Many
reasons are being offered in
explanation of this prevalence
of youthful crime.
In the last analysis, at the
bottom of it all, the one under-
lying, fundamental, ruling
cause will be found to be the
lack of discipline in the home
in which these boys and girls
are raised. It is the old case
of "Sparing the rod and spoil-
ing the child." By rod is
meant, parental control. It is
perfectly true that the parents
of today do not give the atten-
tion to the activities and hab-
its of their children that the
parents yesterday gave. Why
this is true, it is hard to say;
but nevertheless, it is true. The
result is that not only are the
children of today not receiv-
ing the disciplining and the
training which they should re-
jceive, but they are also permit-
ted to set up before themselves
i false ideals and false stand-
i ards, as well as false and un-
worthy ambitions.
So long as the present pre-
valence of lax discipline exists
! in our homes, just so long will
jthe community be confronted
with this problem of child
ciminology. The courts and
the communities can only pun-
ish for criminal action* It lies
with the parent in the home to
prevent criminal action.

WILSON AND CONGRESS
Discussing Mr, Garrison's resig-
nation, the New York Times, some-
what parenthetically remarks: 'The
country will give this instant, loyal
and determined support to the presi-
dent in any contest congress may in-
vite through refusal, from whatev-
er motive, to make provision for
really adequate defense of the na-
tion."
Nevertheless, we have just wit-
nessed such an occurence. Mr. Wil-
son went before congress when this
session opened and argued in favor
of the Garrison plan for an in-
crease in the army. Congress in-
vited a contest on this point. Well
nigh unanimously the military com-
mittees rejected the proposal and
they were sustained by their col-
leauges on the floor. Yet Mr. Wil-
son did not accept the challenge of
congress, nor did he appeal to the
country for "its instant, loyal and
determined support." On the con-
trary, he surrendered in such ab-
ject manner that Secretary Gar-
rison quit the cabinet almost in-
stanter.
The president will not quarrel
with congress this year. Neither
can he boss it in such masterful
fashion as he did two year ago. His
owii party no longer acknowledges
the president's will as law. The dis-
sensions in the democratic party
have been emphasized by Mr. Gar-
rison's resignation—and the presi-
dent's weakness as a party leader
After the convention at Ok-
lahoma City, Match 22nd, the
most appropriate thing that
can be said of "Boss Jim," is,
"poor fellow, he looks, so na-
tural."

Mr. Alfred Stenson, of
Chandler, visited Mr. and Mrs.
Wm. Meinecke this week.
There is no use of reforming
the nation morally and educa-
tionally, unless we make the
army and navy large enough
jto protect us. If we do not, a
stronger nation will attack and
capture us. Then our morals
and education would be ruin-
ed, and foreign ideas, morals
and customs would be intro-
duced.
It is evident that a stronger
power always attacks a weak-
er power. Therefore, we
should fortify our sea ports,
such as San Francisco, on the
Pacific and Norfolk on the At-
lantic, so strongly that no na-
tion would attempt an attack.
There are two vital needs to
be met, first, our navy, at the
earliest possible moment,
should be made the second in
should be increased to at least
the world in size and efficien-
cy. Second, our regular army
a quarter of a million men.
If President Wilson, Theo-
dore Roosevelt and congress
should compromise on the sub-
ject of preparedness, and
work together to enlarge the
army and navy, and thus
stregthen our nation, instead
of spending strength, time and
money fighting oneanother, we
would now have our nation
stronger.
Greece learned too late that
union was the only thing that
could make her a strong na-
tion, unmolested by other na-
tions, we' should prosper by
the example of Greece, and
unite in our ideas, strength in-
fluence and money to make
our United States the greatest
nation.
Schools should be erected
for the soldiers, in which all
subjects should be given. This
would induce men and boys
to be soldiers. Then our arn^r
and navy would increase and
we would have plenty of men.i
The soldiers should be train-
ed in military affairs, not in
ball room affairs, They should
PLANNING OF THE SILO
Now is the proper time to
plan for a silo for this year, if
you do not already have one.
Last season was one of the
most impressive demonstra-
tions possible of the value of
a silo to the man who has
enough livestock on his farni
to use one. At the same time
it was the same kind of a dem-
onstration of the good business
of having enough livestock on
the farm to eat up each year a
goodly portion of the corn crop
instead of depending on the
sale of it as grain for the mon-
ey which is needed to operate
the-farm business.
The man who gets the most
good out of anything is the
man who plans ahead for it;
who decided that he is going
to need it before that need
arises, and then gets it and
has it all ready to use by the
time the need arises; also who
so lays his plans as to get the
most possible good out of its
use after he gets it.
Now apply that basic prin-
ciple to the case of a silo. The
wise man who does not have
one, but who has decided that
he should have one. is laying
his plans for it right now, if
they are not already laid. He
figures out how many head of
stock he is .going to have next
year that can be fed silage;
then he figures up how big a

if we are going to make the

tary affairs should be fore

soldier.
Therefore if the U. S. should
fortify her ports with men and
ships, which she now has, and
now begin to make more ships
and give inducements, by
which she could enlist men,
she would in a few years be
j a nation which no nation
would attack.

AT THE LAFAYETTE WELL
The cavein at the LaFayette
test well north of town, near
Micawber, is not near so seri-
ous as has been reported. We
are reliably informed that they
have drilled pa,st the casing
'something like fifty feet, and
are now preparing to put
down the permanent casing
preparatory to resume drilling
to a finish.
You safely can feed silage
to calves as soon as old
enough to eat it, says a writer
in Farm and Home. Be very
careful not to give them moldy
or decayed silage. Let them
have all they will clean up.
Yearlings will eat from 15 to
20 pounds a day, and if this
is supplemented with some
good clover or alfalfa hay very
little grain is required to keep
them in good, thriving, grow-
ing condition.
Raising Calves on Skim Milk.
Put the calf on a skim-milk
diet when two to three weeks
old. Make the change grad-
ually, advises Farm and Home,
substituting a pint of skim milk
for the same quantity of whole
milk daily until the change is
made. Increase the feed grad-
ually until at four months old
the calf gets eight to 1Q quarts
a day, some grain and grass,
clover or alfalfa.
