Kansas officials have begun criminal
proceedings against the officials and
employees of the Standard Oil company
doing business in that State, on the
ground that the company is a trust,
operating in Kansas in violation of the
asti-trust law of that State. Go after
them. Glad to hear of one good move
started in the Sunflower State.
The small appropriation of one mil-
lion dollars to meet the expenses of our
Territorial government is causing Gov-
ernor Ferguson some uneasiness. Why,
Governor; don't you think we ought to
provide fw the increasing arm* of
boodlers? You know our resources are
boundless, and it is now or never with
them. After we get Statehood they
will be relegated to the rear. Don't be
so cruel.
The organization of Southern farm-
ers, and*the business-like manner in
which they are doing things, has put
the speculator to guessing. Prices on
farm products can no longer be fixed in
advance with the old time mathematical
certainty. Farmers are waking up to
the fact that it is within their power to
lix and control prices, to regulate the J national-
markets and, to a large extent, control Times,
the output. And this is what brings
confusion to the "bulls" and "bears."
Boycotting a
The Standard Oil company appears
to have reached about the limit of im
prudent audacity when it deliberatly
proceeds to place a boycott against one
of the sovereign States of this union, aa
it has in effect done in Kansas against
that commonwealth. In throwing down
its defiance to Kansas the Standard Oil
Co., virtually declares that it considers
! itself greater than the State, so far as
, power and ability to "do things" in a
commercial sense can go to make great-,
ness. If the Standard Oil monopoly
should win in its contest against the
State of Kansas it may next presume to
wage an open fight against the power
ana authority of the United States
government. Indeed, there is something
more than a probability that before the
Cresent contest with Kansas shall have
een brought to an end, the company
will find itself face to face in a well-de-
fined conflict with the authority of the
government.—Los Angelos
SOME SEED THOUGHTS.
by james m'clung.
Not to turn back is somewhat to ad-
vance.
Live for the happiness of others and
so shall you be happy.
■ Our greatest glory is not in never
falling, but rising every time we fall.
No opologies needed for voting a
prohibition ticket. Your character
cannot be essentially injured except by
your own deeds.
Hope for the best, be ready for the
worst, and take what God sends.
Count that day lost whose low de
cending sun views from thy hand no
worthy action done.
He is a coward who will not turn back
when he first discovers that he is in the
wrong track.
Live as though life was earnest and
life will be so.
If you have found the "pearl of great
price" all the bliss of Heaven will be
yours.
Human race would fain be wits.
Millions miss where one man hits.
1 slept and dreamed that life was
beuty, but awoke and found it duty.
Be satisfied with doing well and let
others speak of you as they will.
Never bite at the devil's baits and
you will never get cfcught in his trap.
Wealthy is the man who has many
friends.
A sure cure: Soap, salvation and
Yob hid better he a man, while
you live here, for you will
one chance at it. / J -
What America does the world does.
The best war to destroy an enemy it
to make a friend of him.
Your life is what you make it There
is no such thing as bad luck, for "what-
soever a man sowetb, that shall he
reap."
When you have a neighbor you can't
get along with, do him a favor end
you'll feel better.
If you have enough horse thieves hi
the country, you can elect horse thteves
to office, but if you have moral manhood
you can elect honest men.
The good effects of the Farmers'
Union are plain to even the Casual
observer, and the order in Washita
county is growing stronger, and its
influence greater, as the Jays go by.
Notice to Teachers.
The examination of applicants for
common school diplomas will be held
