Gov. Frank Frantz returned from
his trip to Washington last Sun
•day evening and plunged into his
affairs here. He left Washington
on Wednesday morning, stopping
•two days at St. Louis enroute. In
response to inquiries by a reporter
of the Events the governor ex-
pressed himself as to his attitude
on politics as follows:
"Some weeks ago I stated that 1
•was not a candidate for anything,
hut it appears that some of my
friends have ignored my statement
made at that time. I can only re-
iterate what I have said which is,
that I am not a candidate for any
further honeys or emolument at the
■hands of ray party. I have always
<been deeply gratified to the republi-
can party for the honors it has be-
stowed upon me. I hope my official
conduct has deserved the confidence
of the party. 1 have tried to make
it so. I am not a candidate 'for
delegate to the national convention
and shall not attempt to influence,
in any manner, the selection of that
delegation. 1 believe that the repub-
licans of Oklahoma ought to express
their preferences in that delegation
—the rank and file, I mean—the
man who votes the ticket and sup-
ports the party and believe} in its
principles. I believe those men
should express themselves, that
their will should be registered and
* thatthe delegation sent to the na-
tional convention be representative
of their wishes. Let them say who
they want for president and I
(satisfied
and has no fault to find with him.
Neither has Enid any sympathy
with they who harp upon the
"Rough Rider" string and seek to
discredit him because he was big
enough and brave enough and pat-
riotic enough to go to the firing
line in what might have been a
great and prolonged war. He went
and, in going, gained the friend-
ship of the nation's great man of
modern times. t
Because that man considered
himself worthy of confidence
ought not to be to his credit—he
sought nothing, nor assayed any
dictation; he is not a" candidate for
anything political, nor essays to
dictate—hence, the "Rough .Rider"
talk is ill-timed.—Enid Events.

hearing will be held either today or

The facts of the shooting, as near
as we are able to find out are about
as follows: Mrs. Williams wanted
to make a visit to relatives in Texas
but her husband did not feel that he
could afford the expenses of the
trip so refused to let her go. West,
who it is claimed, was a man of
hard character, took it upon him-

discover as those supposed to be
back of the deal are careful to keep
out of sight. It is pretty certain
that the taw firm of Rittenhousi

is now to be reckoned with as one

and one of the gieatest in produc-

million people ure needed to give
her a population becoming to her
area and resources. *

whether the production of poultry
and eggs as a business may not be
so enlarged as alone to support a
family, the reply of the «wise ones
usually is that it is "too small a
business." The city amateur who
delights in figures will gladly show
that a good hen ought to lay 15<>
eggs a year. A little arithmetic
gives 150,000 eggs of the product of
1,000 hens. These eggs at twe-
thirds of present prices in Topeka
would be worth $3,(XX). "Now,"
says the amateur, "if these 1,1X10
hens cost 50 cents apiece the in-
vestment in stock would !>e only
$500. If another $500 were invested
in appliances the total investment
would be only $1,000." Again, the
amateur says, "If the $5<X) worth of
hetis should last only one year and •
if it cost $500 each year to renew the
stock and $1000 to feed the hens
there would still be left a net in-
come of $1,500." The amateur
figurer of course goes further and
proposes that if the .investment be
doubled the net income will be
doubled, and if the investment be ,
multiplied by four there will be a
net income of $0,000 u year.
Of course, the amateur's figures
are wrong. But worse than the-
cutting down of margins is the fact
that the building up of a large
poultry industry presents conting-
encies that never fail tail ty sur-
prise and disappoint the amateur.
The increasing demand for poul-
try and eggs, an increase that i^
likelv to be accelerated with the
continued growth of the cities,
lends importance to the poultry in-
dustry. The problems not yet
solved are worthy of most carefnl
consideration. Their solution
should bring rich rewards for those
who solve them.—Kansas Farmer.
