This is Doubtless a Whopper
It wasn’t a Missouri editor
but a printer’s devil who was
going through his first experience
on "making up forms” The
paper was late and the boy got
the galleys mixed The first part
of a pecunious citizen had been
dumped in the forms and the
next handful of type came off a
galley describing a recent fire
It read like this:
“The pall bearers lowered the
body to the grave and as is was
consigned to the flames there
were few if any regrets for the
old wreck had been an eyesore to
the town for many years Of
course there was individual loss
but that was fully covered by
insurance” The widow thinks
the editor wrote the obituary that
way because the lamen ted
partner of her joys and sorrows
owed him five years’ subscription

prospect of a plan being adopted
soon under stable official
auspices
A hospital builded and
equipped by bonds voted by local
citizens is another plan Some
Oklahoma towns have them
There is danger that isolated
and unregulated by a general
public policy these institutions
shall become the foot ball of
partism and factional politics
Yes rgany towns should risk this
and get a hospital as a public
service under public control
Here is another plan which has
just been successfully adopted
by one Oklahoma county seat
town:
Citizens subscribed twelve
thousand dollars taking in return
certificates entitling them to
hospital service to the full
amount but with the understand-
ing that in the treatment of any
specific case only half of the
charges shall be claimed on this
account the other half is to be
paid in cash
A local doctor holds title to the
property and three local doctors
are now specializing on several
branches of medical practice
he hospital is open to the
patients and the attendance of
any licenced physician Out-
standing certificates of subscrip-
tion among the citizens are re-
deemable only by service and
are transferable
After four months the institu-
tion is a going concern is paying
for inspectors and cattle owners
to meet some dates All this has
tended to discourage anyone but
the most determined workers
Those who may have felt dis
heartened may take courage
however from the fact that t:ck
may under the most thorough
work be yet eradicated this year
Any infected pastures or ranges
may be cleaned during the
current calender yeir if all the
cattle and horses of same are
regularly and systematically
dipped every two weeks from
this time on
This is one side ' The other is
that if for any reason cattle are
permitted to miss their dippings
after June 30 ranges or prem-
isses on which they run will not
be clerned this year but the
work will be prolonged well into
another year
So let’s not be discouraged by
past incidents but look to effect-
ive work during the remainder of
the year High water will
probably not be a serious factor
hereafter Impress upon the
owners the important fact that
ticks can yet be eradicated not-
withstanding the difficulties
which have already confronted
them No less important is it for
them to appreciate that their
whole season’s effort can be lost
by failure to do thorough work
from now on and that success
depends more than anything else
on their unceasing cooperation
It isdesired that each employee
of the cooperative agencies bring
the foregoing important facts
seriously to the attention of the
stock owners at the first dipping
at every vat following the receipt

- It la a curious fact that no ona has
ever been able to discover why the
Hot Springs waters are so beneficial
They contain no chemicals that are of
special value so far as can be discov-
ered It la claimed by some that ra-
dioactivity Is the secret of their effect
Others say tbal their benefits are
purely Imaginary This can hardly be
the case however for men have been
coming to the springs for hundreds of
years and going away feeling stronger
snd younger The Indians made them

early settlers traveled for many day

You tell me that law is above
that you can have no wise laws
nor freedom of utterance And
I reply free enforcement of wise
laws unless there is free expris
sion of the wisdom of the people
—and alas their folly with it
But if there is freedom folly will
die of its own poison and the
vision will survive That is the
history of the man’s kinship with
God
You say that freedom of utter
ance is not for time of stress anc
I reply with the sad truth that
only in time of stress is freedom
of utterance in danger No one
questions it in calm days because
it is not needed And the re
verse is true also only when free
utterance is expressed is
nee led and when it is most vital
to justice Peace is good But if
you are interested in peace
through force and without utter
ance decently in order— jour free
discussion that or to say free
interest in justice is slight Anc
peace without justice is tyranny
no matter how you may sugar
coat it with expediency This
state today is in more danger
from suppression than from
violence because in the end sup-
pression leads to violence
violence indeed is the child of
suppression Whoever pleads
for justice helps to keep the
peace and whoever tramples up-
on the plea of justice temper
ately made in the name of peace
only outrages peace and kills
something fine in the heart of
man which God put there when
we got our manhood When that
is killed brute meets brute on
each side of the line
So dear friend put fear out
of your heart This nation will
survive this state will prosper
the orderly business of life will

This is a lot of money The

has made it within twenty years
It has long been the fashion to
denounce rich men but Ford has

he is not known as a philan-

played square He is a shrewd

business and he has no labor

has always paid above market
