The Gat Proposition
What arc we going to do about
the gas proposition here? Will we
continue to pay for gas when just at
the time you need it the worst it is
out, or are we going to stand pat
and demand better service from the
Gas Co?
As we all wtll know to our sor-
row that the Ga6 Co. has not paid
tiny attention to the gas line during
the past week or more. They have
no one employed to look after the
line, and when it is out of ordefj
it is WAIT until they get ready to
come and fix it.
Would you think of ranting a
house well furnished and you knew
that antime you might be made to
stay in a worn out tent tor a few
houis, or a day or two and be made
to pay your rent just the same? No
you would not. Wtll then, why
not look at the ges serviee in the
same light I—We nay our money
in advance lor one month's steaiiy
flow of ga\ Nut an alternating
fiow by any means.
During the past week we have
not been supplied with gas half ot
the time, with the coldest weather
we have had in elfeven years. Dur-
ing that time, the -line from the'
field to town has not been inspected
or overseen by the company at all-
Private parties taking on to them-
selves to keep the line in shape so
the town would have gas.
Does the Gas Co, expect the town
to keep its line in working order
for them and then expect full pay
for the gas ?—It seems that way to
Are we to tolerate the kind of
service from them! and let the liltl
children suffer with cold: If we do
we will be holding upen the jaws
of death for our children. With
the irregular flow of gas they are
very apt to ketch a severe cold and
end with death by phneumonis or
other similar diseases.
Men, think, act, and get some
movement on foot for a better gas
pressure.
Five To Penitentiary
Sheriff Webber took five to the
penitentiary Monday. They were
James Hogan, two yean; W. E
Clark, for grand larceny of J. E.
Oakleaf's saddle, one year; R. J.
Holt, robbing thu Johnson home
near Glencoe, two years; Jairea
Wright, for taking shoes from a
box car at Jennings, to years.
All of the above made pleas of
guilty to the charges and were
sentenced by Judgt Linn.—Pawnee
Dispatch.
Indignation it arroused! A prominent citizen of
Hallett falls from grace! Hi name is with-held unless the
offense should be repeated. The Herald does not take
up family quarrels as a rule, but feels that it is justified in
the present case.
Quite a scandal was created in Hallett Wednesday morning when
one of the promint nt citizens beat his wife up. Several i f the neigh-
bors claim to have seen part of the incident. We with-hold the mini's
name, for he faithfully promised his wife that it will never happen ng.iin,
and as he is now ashamed of his actions he should not be condemned
too severely by other husbands.
It was at least 5 30 in the morning, and eye witnesses .Icclare that
he pot onl) beat his^wife up—but actu; lly had the fire going and the
coffee pot on before the surprised lady got to ;he kitchen and fully rea-
lized how bad she was boaten, Also on that historic morning the
gas was out and the disgraceful man was compelled to build a fir • like
his tore-fothers, with wood.

in your midst. To patronize the peddeler you are knocking on
your town. Tiy, Our Meat First.

Unhappy Marriages
A statement has been givtn out
that one of every four marriages iu
Oklahoma result unhappy and tei*
initiate in divoice. Judges and so-
ciologists are now urging a law
that will make it more difficult to
obtain a divource, in hope of in-
ducing the number of unhappy
marriages, Law will net lemedy
this evil. Divorce is an evil, but
to force a mismated pair v\in
litate, atip exasperate each other to
liye together is a greater evil. Sel-
dom, indeed, does young people
heal the question of marriage spok*
of as it should be. It is considered
a subject of juke, and not one of
the seari'-is and necessary phraae*
of life. When every father will
give bis son and every mother her
daughter the proper instruction on
the subject of marriage, and when
every person contemplating mar-
riage shall be taught that it is honor-
able and right and there need be
110 hesitancy in discussing it with
parents, and elders, then we may
expect a change. Igi.orance is r..
sponsible for most of the unhappy
marriages.
