Weighing 136 pounds, Miss Jessie's wedding cake overshadows
the political pie.
It looks like Justice R. L. Williams will have no opposition for
governor in 1914.
Speaking of wives, it is our idea that any girl who can make bis-
cuits can make good.
If the fall of 1913 is a fair sample of Indian Summer, we guess1 Mr. Paden"s ^r-^reenfield Hust-

Another good thing about hunting at this time of the year is
that you don't have to dig bait.
Canadian chfeap beef must be a myth. Very few meat market
men have heard anything about it.
Judging from the tone of the state press, about ene more dam-
age suit would make Senator Gore's re-election practically unanimous.
It has just about gotten so in this country that if you ask a lame
man what makes him limp he will tell you that one of his cylinders isn't
firing.
Talk no more so exceedingly proudly; let not arrogancy come out
of your mouth: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and by Him actions
are weighed.—1 Sam. 2:3.
If all the wonderfully smart and beautiful babies developed into
as truly wonderful and beautiful men and women—well who would ever
think of Heaven or politics?
Just to show the charitable tendencies of this adminstration, it
^ may be stated that Miss Wilson sings to get money for the poor and
Bryan procures it by lecturing.
The Weatherford man who was run over by his own automobile
when he got out to crank it ought to be able to appreciate how Charles
F. Murphy of Tammany feels.
Considering how many other things he has to bother him, it will
only be fair to himself for President Wilson to allow the White House
ladies to do ail the worrying over Miss Jessie's trousseau.
The bones of Christopher Columbus are to be on exhibition at
the San Francisco Fair, but who on earth is likely to waste time looking

If President Wilson does succeed in pacifying Mexico without
bloodshed we shall be in favor of giving him a life-long pension out of
the Mexican treasury and changing the name of Juarez to Juoodrow.
Of course it is none of our business and he can do as he pleases
about it, but our advice to Hon. Nelson O'Shaughnessy is that he never
ro to call on Huerta without carrying his grandfather's shelalah in his
right hand.
Adolphus Busch died a couple of weeks ago and left 50 million
dollars. The main food for reflection is this, is that you and I will die
sometime and probably not leave so large a fortune, but we will be just as
dead as he is.

There has been a horrible stillness in the state since Governor
Cruce announced that he was willing to run for United States senator if
there should be a demand for him. The only thing there is any demand
for Governor Cruce to do is to hurry up and get through as quietly as
possible.
What is Good for Headache?
One lady says after suffering
dreadfully for about seven years,
she tried Hunt's Lightning Oil,
which almost instantly relieved her,
and has been entirely free from
those dreadful headaches since. ,,

Thanksgiving Day. And there is not

A number of Democratic papers in the state are inclined to waste
a good deal of ammunition on the proposition made by some Republican
politicians to run an "Independent ticket" next fall. The purpose of
such a ticket would be so apparent as to deceive but few voters, and
would not impair the chances of Democratic success. Aw Heck!—let it
run.
Some of the fastidious papers, whose editors favor eating with
negros and fraternizing with dagoes, are complaining about President
Wilson's long face. If the Mexican situation, a bucking congress and a
currency bill on hand—and with a wedding in the house a few days
hence—do not entitle a man to a long face what combination of circum-
stances will so entitle him?
C. W. Trippy has some cheap
money to loan on farms. No delay
in getting your money. See him

Eugene V. Debs, who has been three times the candidate of the
Socialist party for president, may be all wrong politically, but financially
he is of no bad sort. Years ago the union to which he bel®nged got in-
to debt more than $20,000 and then broke up. Mr. Debs decided that
the debt should be paid, and he has just finished making good his deter-
mination. Unaided and alone he squared the account, and earned every
dollar of it. Debs is not so bad after all. Lots of men who rail at So-
cialists do worse than Debs on old debts.
Oklahoma's Birthday
Six yfars ago, Sunday, November 16, 1907, there was wild rejoi-
cing throughout Oklahoma. Men, women and children were parading the
streets, shouting and cheering, while bells were ringing, whistles blowing
and every other noise making device wd9*g?ssed into service The forty-
sixth star had been added to Old Glory and Oklahoma had been admitted
to the sisterhood of states.
At 10 o'clock on the morning of November 16. 1907. President
Roosevelt signed the proclamation admitting the new state into the union
It had been known for several days that the proclamation would receive
approval, but nevertheless the news of the actual signing was greeted
with wild enthusiasm.
j- •. JEM' ^he 8,*nin* of proclamation, the imaginary line that had
n.viaed Oklahoma into two territories was obliterated, every saloon in
the state closed at midnight and federal officers, then in charge of the
state government by appointment by the president, turned the reins of
government over to the new administration elected by the people
and headed by Governor C. N. Haskell of Muskogee. Oklahoma's first
governor.
The inauguration of Governor Haskell and the other state officers
was the main event in celebration of the invasion and was attended by
more than thirty thousand people at Guthrie. Since that time Oklaho-
ma has had two governors and four legislatures and the development of
the state has been the most important in its history.
