MORGAN DESERVES RE-ELECTION
Second District Congressman Has
Made a Good Official
Hon. Dick T. Morgan, of Woodward,
the present congressman from this
district, should be returned to con-
gress. He has made a good official,
and he has accomplished a groat deal
for the district in his one term, much
more than the ordinary new eongres-
man usually is able to do Thlt W&S
because Mr. Morgan was not an un-
known quantity when he went to
Washington. He had been an active
figure previous to statehood, and was
well known to the people who lived in
the district, and to the people in
Washington with whom he came in
contact. This made It possible for
him to at once get into elbow touch
with those with whom it was neces-
sary to transact the business of his
constituents—tho president, and the
heads of departments.
Then again, Mr. Morgan is the sort
of man who inspires confidence. He
has the bearing of a business man—
the attainments of a gentleman, and
to such an one it 1h an easy matter t<>
take hiB place among those of a like
make-up.
Mr. Morgan has a record he is proud
of. He has been charged with various
misdemeanors, but it is one thing to
charge a man with a crime and an-
other to prove it. The weak spot in
the armor of the opposition is its in-
ability to prove its assertions.
Those opposed to Mr. Morgan's
election, meaning, of course, the dem-
ocrats, have charged him with having
voted against the interests of the peo-
ple of his district, when, as a matter
of fact, the reverse is true. And the
best evidence that can be brought for
ward to prove the opposition wrong is
the Congressional Record, which is
always right.
In the campaign now on In this dis-
trict the people will have ample oppor-
tunity to learn just what Mr. Morgan
has been doing since he first went to
congress as the representative of the
people of the second congressional dis-
trict. The other side will tell all It
doesn't know and then some. Mr. Mor-
gan's committee will tell the simple
truth and the truth will be sufficient.
Mr. Morgan has made a record that
he doesn't need to be ashamed of nor
apologize for, and the record is so
plain and so clear that one may read
as he runs.
Congressman Morgan has more than
made good the promises he made to
the people when he was up for elec-
tion two years ago, and when a public
official does that he is one to whom
the people should stick. Morgan
made the promises In good faith; he
kept the promises made, and he deliv
ered more than he promised.
In the present campaign for re-elec
tion Mr. Morgan will follow the rule
he laid down in his first campaign.
There will be no abuse or mud-sling-
ing. He will stand on his record and
the record of his party. He will prom
iBe only those things which he can and
will deliver.
To the people of the second con-
gressional district Mr. Morgan desires
to say that he has not betrayed the
trust they reposed in him, nor has he
by word or action proved recreant to
their interests.
It is natural for the opposition to
assail him, and accuse him of betray
al, but in the course of the campaign
it will be proven that the second dis
trict has been well and ably rep re
sented, and has had its best interests
looked after by a man who understood
what the district needed and who got
what the district needed. And there
ought to he no question of Mr. Mor
gan's re-election. We believe there
will be no question about it if the peo-
ple will fairly and intelligently con
sider the matter and impartially re-
view his record.
It stands out clear and distinct. It
is such a record as one may well feel
proud of, and it is such as will land
Mr. Morgan a victor on November K,
1910.
A Charming Porch Party.
This delightful affair was given on
the porch of a lovely country home,
but It may be Just as successfully car-
ried out indoors and at any season of
the year. There were about 20 guests,
each asked to bring her work. The
porch was decorated entirely with gar-
den flowers that are so plentiful and
brilliant at this time. After an hour
of lively chatter, with needle and
thread, crochet hook and knitting, the
hostess appeared and announced a
"so-in" contest. Slips of paper and
small green pencils were passed with

gan "So" as the first letters. The

After 20 minutes the "key" was
read; then the hostess said: "Having
'finished 'Soing,' there would be a
Garden competition," and she passed
anot her set of papers, with these ques
tlons:
I. We are a practical family, neither

A Paper 9hower.
This was really gotten up as a Joke,
but turned out so well that the bride
wishes me to tell you all about It. It:
came about this way: "Polly" de-
clared she would have no "showers"
of any kind, so at the little club to.
which she belonged, one of the mem-
bers said: "Well, let's give 'Polly' a
'paper' shower, just for fun, as she
objects to an}thing more serious."
The result was at the next meeting
there were many mysterious packages
brought in and deposited at the feet
of the bride-elect. When opened there
were paper napkins, paper doilies,
shelf paper, nice wrapping paper,
stamped paper wrappers (for mailing
wedding notices), gummed labels for
everything imaginable, several quires
of tissue paper, note book, engagement
book, telephone register, pads of let-

Many three-quarter sleeves, built en-i
tirely of puffs, are seen in out-of-door
gowns.
Fine eioihs in dull blue and rose
lints are in demand for dressy after-,
noon frocks.
Turbans are rising in height and
also showing the narrow effect at the
crown apex.
Narrow ostrich bands edge many of
the new wraps and add an extremely
smart touch.
Heaver is to have a great season In
millinery, if early importations count
for anything.
There are some uncertain predic-
tions that the short waistline will
come in again.

THE TAX PAYERS' MONEY
Drops Into the Big Crevasse Caused
by Liquor Prosecutions.
The records of the county courts of
14 counties in Oklahoma show the
number of prosecutions for violations
of the prohibition law since statehood
up to June, 1910.
It is safe to estimate the average
cost of prosecuting the average liquor
ease, including sheriff's fees, jury
fees and other court expenses at $25
per case. At this low rate it has cost
these 14 counties the gigantic and ap-
palling sum of $231,275.00 to prose-
cute violations of this law alone.
At the same ratio it has cost the
state a million and a quarter dollars!
The question is: Are the results oV>
tained worth the cost?
This does not include cos>s in otiicr
courts, such as grand Jury investiga-
tions, injunctions, penalty suits and
cases appealed to the supreme court
and criminal court of appeals. It is
estimated that 65 per cent of the cases
appealed to the criminal court of ap
peals are liquor cases. The following
figures are taken from the records of
the county courts of the counties
na tned:

Roosters

Nuisance
in Cities
By WM. H. B1ED
Cincinnati
The neighborhood in which I live
would he a very quiet anil desirable one
were it not for (he fact that about 70 per
cent, of the people have chicken coops
planted on the rear of their lots and al>out
the same percentage own dogs.
I hose who tire too poor to own odc dog
manage to own two.
With the yelping of the dogs in the
fore part of the night and the roosters let-
ting loose with their clarion notes at dawn,
one can imagine what a poor chance a light
sleeper has to get the necessary resl to
equip him for the following day's work,
owners are not paying taxes either if the
A great many of the do
truth ware known.
Many dogs arc running loose, ami there is not a muzzh on one of
them.
What are the police doing that they cannot see this evil and correct it?
Nothing is done until some one is bitten.
If these chicken and dog owners wish to run farms, thrv should go
where they belong—into the country.
