Entered as second-class matter
Nov 7 1903 at the post office at
Ames Oklahoma under the Act
d£ Congress of March 3 1879-
The Kiel Press has suspended
for lack of support
Eugene V Debs and Benjamin
Hanford are to be the standard
bearers of the Socialist patty this
fall
Geo Baker was in Alva last
Saturday when the court house
decision was given but the
house was so crowded that he
fcould not get in The injunction
was denied but the judge de-
cided that the contract was ille-
gal as the commissioners did not
advertise for bids and let the con-
tract to the lowest bidder The
work will all have to be done
ovdi and the Alva people realize
that they are facing a hard preposition
The first issue of The Ring-
wood Times edited by I- M
Johnson made its appearance
last week It is a bright newsy
5-eol quarto and the way it is at
once patronized by the business
men of that city seems to insure
its success - Here’s our hand
and best wishes
School closes in the principal’s
room to-morrow This is Mr
Wright’s second yesr as princi-
pal of the Ames schools and the
work he has done has been very
satisfactory which is sufficient
reason for giving him the school
as long a3 he wants it It never
pays to let a good teacher go if it
can be otherwise
Geo Shepherd Chas Bowman
and Geo Baker attended the
Demo-pop convention at Augusta
last week The convention was
for the purpose of selecting 29
delegates to a aonvention at Okla-
I homa City July 26 to nominate
a Delegate to congress and of
' selecting 29 delegates to the An-
adarko convention this week to
select delegates to the national
convention
Some things are forever hap-
pening and some very disgrace’-
- fnl things to Why should a boy
beat a horse and curse and swear
right in front of the business
bouses where there axe women?
Why should there be fighting on
our streets within view of who-
ever may be on the walk? Those
who stop such proceedings are
doing only what is right and we
I believe they will be supported by
most of our citizens
The fight on our street last Sat-
urday has brought forth the fol-
lowing: Fighting is bad business
You can never tell after the
fight is over which needed lick-
ing the worst Fighting may de
cide which is the stronger man
but it doesn’t -decide which is
in the right Because you can
whip a fellow is no reason why
you should If you feel like
fighting get a hoe and pull for
the potato patch or cornfield
You can find something usefu
to do there that may make a man
of you If fighting ever does it
will be the other fellow’s fight
ing There may be times when
it is necessary to defend yoursel::
pgninst the tyranny of some trou
blesome fellow Then one shoulc
do so to the best of 'his ability
In the attempt of "this paper to
steer clear of political and sectar-
ian strife we seem to be a back
number to many whose minds
are running in those channels
only and continuously This is
campaign year and the minds o:
men are naturally more or less
imbued with the campaign spirit
and it is bard for a paper to be in-
teresting "to many unless it is
throwing mud at the other fellow
and whooping it up for Mr So-and-so
At the same time it
seems to us that the only people
who are to profit by it all are
those who are expecting office
But there are times when there is
some issue at stake which is o:
importance to the people an
whereby the people are to be
gainers or losers Such is the
case with regard to the division
of Woods Co or going to Mis
souri with the election of a man
who represents some principle
as Joseph W Folk At such
times there is good reason for the
people turning their attention to
the issues that confront them be-
cause it is necessary fronatti ecr
onomical standpoint that sudh
questions be rightly decided
