! A resume of a report by the
International Typographical L'n-
< n is given in this issue of The
: Press. It shows how during the
a-t decade the average life of
the-r members has been increas-
ed eight years. This has been
| done principally through two
•liannels, the campaign for san
tary work rooms, and the inau-
guration of the eight-hour day.
Ten years ago most printers
were working nine hours, many
of them ten or more. Now the
almost universal rule is "eight
hours for work, eight hours for
rest, eight hours to do what
ciiey please," and the results
obtained seem to be worth the
fight they had to put up t. ob-
tain it.
Printing is one of the many
trades that are unhealthy. The
opportuntiy to spend part of
the day out of the shop, in the

obey will know how to com at,on ha* ha(i Prob^ly the ma-
ma"iU lor part to do with this length-
Sobn !''ninK of life- A minor >'et still
important part is the results
that have been gained in their
efforts for a sanitary work-
room. As stated before, it is
unhealthy at best, but when all
needless and unnecessary un"
healthful and unsafe surround-
ings have been removed, the life
of the printer is made a little
pleasanter and a little longer.
We hope the federal govern-
ment will take up these matters
more than it has in the past.
Many occupations are hazard-
ous, both from proximity to
dangerous machinery, and to
hemical processes. A thorough
campaign for better working
conditions would bring down a
benediction on the head of him
who inaugurated it.

AS SENATOR GORE SEES IT
(Albany, N. Y., Argun.) •
THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO
BUILD A CITY.
Enid is showing unprecedent
ed activity in getting new in-
dustries of late. The Pacific
route over the Frisco came to
us of itself, then we have defin-
itely secured the building of the
packing plant, a new sanitarium
at Government Springs, the ex-
tension of the street car line to
East Enid, and several other
enterprises of a lesser nature,
among them the re-establish-
ment of the shirt factory, which
has been idle for the past year.
And this last item brings to
our mind very forcibly another
method rather than securing
new industries, by which a city
may be built. While the good
work of attracting outside bus-
inesses to Enid goes on, let us
not forget that what is probably-
more important is the support
we give to those already here.
If the people of this city alone
had properly supported the shirt
factory, it would never have
suspended operations. If the
people of this town did their
duty toward this institution they
could keep it going of them-
selves. As it was. almost their
entire patronage was out-of-
town. But now that it has
started up, let us make sure
that it doesn't get another
chance to stop.
And what we do with our
shirt factory, let us do with all
our other industries, small as
well as big, for it is by this
manner than we can develop the
insignificant into the important.
Great oaks from little acorns
grow.
We have a cigar factory here,
and if when an Enid booster
buys a cigar he gets an Enid-
made cigar, he is giving a boost
to an Enid factory already es-
tablished, and making it grow.
We have some good sized
flour mills, and they will be
larger if every one in town in-
sist upon buying Enid-made
flour. We have two wood-work -
ing establishments, yet much of
the wood-work used in construc
tion of Enid houses comes from
out of town. Let's change this
order of things.
We have wholesale groceries;
let us buy the products of these
home institutions.
We have as good print shops
THE GROWTH AND SIZE OF
OKLAHOMA.
Some interesting facts are
brought to light by an examin-
ation of the complete United
States census reports concern-
ing this state we live in, and
how it ranks with others in the
sisterhood of states.
The rate of increase for Okla-
homa for the last ten years was
110 per cent. Only one state,
W ashington, had a greater per-
centage of growth. All the rest
came in a long procession be-
hind, with Iowa at the tail end,
the only state which had no
percentage of increase at all.
As regards size, Oklahoma,
although the last to be admitted
1) the Union at, this date, though
this probably can not be said
soon, ranks twenty-third in the
list of forty-nine states and ter-
ritories. New York of course
comes first, and Nevada last.
Oklahoma's total population is
1,657,155.
As regards the proportion of
country and city inhabitants,
Oklahoma has 12.9 per cent in
the cities, 87.1 per cent in the
country. Only seven others have
a greater percentage in the ru-
ral districts. These are North
ind South Carolina North and
South Dakota, Mississippi. Ar-
kansas and New Mexico.
\Y e have many good reasons
to I* proud of our new common
wealth.

four empty houses in it, now

Time and again has Senator
Gore ,the blind statesman from
Oklahoma, proved that, to offset
his physical lack of vision, he
possesses an introspective and
clairvoyant mental grasp of all'
that is going on about him.
Never were his remarkable
powers in this direction, his fine
philosophy and remarkable log-
ic, better exemplified than the
other day, when he defined the!
position and duty of Senate
Democrats, in dealing with the!
complicated situation which has
developed in that body, during
the present extraordinary ses-
sion. In defending the Demo-
cratic alliance with the Taft ad-
ministration and Senator Pen-
rose for the passage of the re-!
ciprocity bill, he said:
"Mr. President, the time Is nearj
at hand when Democrats will be j
called upon to change their alliance
here in the Senate. We will change
our alliance without any remorse,
without any compunction, and with-
out any sense of disloyalty to our|
former allies. It

Restriction on Cherry Culture
Cherries are expensive to gather
and are not adapted to a distant mar-
ket, that is a market that Is several
days away. Perhaps this is the reason
why they are not raised more ex
tenslvely on the Pacific coast, where
they grow in certain limited areas
with most gratifying success. Cherries
do not thrive well beyond a certain
limit of latitude, either north or south.
