We have lots of work for a "bo"
icung these day*.
A Tulsa man has offered the follow
inc definition for a socialist—a fool,
gone crazy.
It is indeed refreshing to note the
"bo " at work on our city streets.
More work—leas "bos."

When a man begin* to repeat the
smart sayings of his baby his friends
begin to doubt his veracity.
A printed train time table is about
as useful these days as a pipe without
tobacco or a pipe and tobacco without
a watch.
The innocent have nothing to fear
from a grand jury investigation and
the guilty deserve to be found out and
punished.
It seems that th'.- weather is light-
ing socialism. It does n'.«. afford the
"red buttton wcarei: " ine opportunity
to infest the streets with their talk
•The socialists are against the pres-
ent form of government, yet not a
campaign passes in this county but
that some of them are running for
office.
You have to hit some men to keep
them from struggling when saving
them from drowning but the proper
time to hit them is before they rock
the boat.
Now that Rogers county is soon to
have a grand jury, the cloud of sus-
picion which has rested on official
quarters will soon be removed or else
justified.
The oiled roads seem to be stand-
ing the long wet spell better than
those which have not been treated.
It pays to be up to date even if it
does cost a little more.
The announcement that there is
to l<e a grand jury in Rogers county
on March 13th did not seem to cause
such a commotion as many of the ca
lamity howlers thought it would.
We understand that the Socialists
contemplate installing a newspaper in
Claremore. Claremore will have to
"go some" to support it a* there are
already two hustling to "get by."
The scarce article—a bum looking
for work—had the misfortune to find
it Friday, cleaning the snow off the
sidewalks of the business part of the
town, and he wasn't with the "bo"
gang either.

make the Progress of such a general
scope that each part of the county
will feel an interest in the p; per.
which lends an ear to the joys, the
sorrows, the happenings, the well be-
ing, the hard times, the times of pros-
perity, and the hopes and aspiration?
for better things lor one and all, no
matter in what part of Rogers county
the reader so happens to reside. And
toward this end we shall strive with
might and main and our chief aid in
realizing this ambition will of a ne-
cessity be our country correspondents
and we offer to them t.ood space in
our columns ouch week to record the
things that a- time goe? on will be
worth remembering in the building of
a town or community.
We do not choose to restrict our
correspondents to giving little per-
sonal items, although tney will be ac-
ceptable and appreciated, but we want
them to boost the town, neighborhood
or vicinity in which they live. Tell

At nine-thirty Monday night, owing
to an accident in connection with the
projecting machine, the management
of the Electric Theatre was forced to
shut down during the second show of
the evening. It seems that the ex-
traordinary rold weather affected
the apparatus to such an extent that
it suddenly stopped running, and the
operator was unable to remedy the
trouble. However, after several hours
of hard labor, the machine is now in
perfect working condition, and the
regular programs are being shown.
