Woman may work wonders
by her exercise of will
But shouldn’t have a vote
pntiir she learns to take
a pill
Another thing— how can
woman ever expect to vote
inielligently as long as-she
doesn’t know who was Vice-president
under jMckinley’s
first administration? ‘
'Our Habits 1
Things we do to-day are easier
done to-morrow because of habit
Boys and girls who get the
habit of shirking duty will likely
make worthless men and women
because they formed the wrong
habit Form good habits if you
want to be happy
Tho habit' of bein pleasant
and polite is worth much and
does’nt cost a cent Why not
practice it?
Another good habit to form is
buying your eatables from the

Our football team played Wil-
burton High School ' another
game of football last Saturday
on their opponents’ ground
Red Oaks was defeated according
to the ruling of the referee the
score being declared to be 21 to
7 Our boys scored in the first
four minutes of play Wilburton
did not score till just before time
was called in the third quarter
when they made a touchdown by
working several forward passes
In the fourth quarter they suc-
ceeded in scoring again on for-
ward passes Just two minutes
before time was called Frank
Cleckler of our team received a
forward pass and ran eighty
yards for a touchdown however
the referee permitted one of the
Wilburton boys to pick up the
ball from behind the goal where
Frankhad placed it and carry it
back "He declared it a touch-
down for Wilburton making the
score as above stated t
We have scheduled a game
with Jones Academy to be played

shopping
There is so much else to
think of in this world so
many hurts to be healed so
many epics to be written so
many’ fish to be fried— so
much song and laughter and
so many lights to be lighted
and so many loves to be
loved so ' much prattle of
babes to be harkened to so
many kisses to be kissed— so
much of life and so much of
living that to worry over
the Constitution of the Uni-
ted State is folly and to let
it get one’s goat almost a

Jceso R Grant eon of General Ulya-
ea S Grant commander In chief of
the Tuition army In the Civil war and
Republican president of the1 United
State from 1839 to 1877 links the
generation of war veterans and the
young voters of today in tho follow-
ing appeal made public by him at his
home In New York:
To the Voter Especially the New
Voter:
We are facing the 5th of November
Issues of momentous Importance to
the future of the United States Shall
the old order of things continue? Shall
our fconomlc life bd dotermlnod— shall
our government continue to be doml
nated by the thoughts the desires and
the Interests of those who have been
the principal beneficiaries of that go v-
eminent’ patronage or shall the pow-
er of government be banded back to
the whole people to be administered
for their common good?
It was a similar Issue fifty-two years
ago when there arose from out of Illi-
nois a new leader who held human
rights to be greater than property
rights whose thoughts Were not the
Old thoughts whose vision of Justice
had net been clouded by association
with the ruling Interests
We are at the threshold of a new
period of transition Shall the door be
blocked by men who cannot see ahead?
Shall we elect to follow men who
while clothed with official power nur-
tured privilege and fostered monopoly
and who now propose nothing better
than to legalize and regulate monopo-
ly and make us live under It the rest
of our lives? -
The New-Leader
Or shall we call to leadership a new
man from the outside from the ranks
of the people In sympathy with their
lives and their Ideals holding their
viewpoint consecrated to their serv-
ice? Such a man is Woodrow Wilson
As a son of the soldier who fought
to uphold the principles for which
Abraham Lincoln stood and as a son
of a Republican president I can see
only ono duty for myself — to giro
heartily my influence and my vote for
principle and not for the name of a
party long Bince divorced from Its
sympathy for the common nian
Verily I believe that the principle
for which Woodrow WII3011 Is fighting
are the principles for which my father
fought and that he utone among the
presidential candidate measures up to
the standards of courage conscience
and capacity of the leader whose hand
my father helped to uphold
Old voters as well as now I beg of
you not to be decelvod by names and
prejudices Open your minds to tho
truth and vote In its light

AMERICAN’S TAXED
FDR ENGLISH PROFIT
Enormous Dividends of Thread
Trust Go Abroad
Cotton thread pays an Import duty
equivalent to 47 per cent This tariff
was levied originally to build up au
“Infant industry” in America and pro-
tect American capital It happens
bowever that practically all the capi-
tal In the thread industry In the Uni-
ted StateB is foreign capital and that
the dividends of the thread trust are
nearly all- sent abroad
The American Thread company In-
corporated la New Jersey In 18S8 has
$16290475 of capital and its net prof-
its in 1910 were $2441844 Lyman
R Hopkins president testifying in
1901 before the United States Indus-
trial commission said that the money
to buy up the fourteen concerns in-
cluded In the New Jersey consolida-
tion was furnished by the English
Sewing Cotton company The thread
trust’s principal competitor in this
country is the J & P Coates concern
which maintains Its English organ iza-
tiotL&nd English factories to manufac-
ture thread for the world and its
American factories to manufacture
thread for Americans in order to reap
the extra profits from manufacturing
within the American tariff wall
As far back as 1901 the thread truBt
according to Its president was em-
ploying "one-quarter to one-third" of
foreign labor Receht industrial In-
vestigations have disclosed that the
proportion in New England texttlo
Industries Is now nearer four foreign-
ers to one American
Here we have "protection" for for

HOW?
By voting the State Capital to Guthrie on November 5th '
Thus accepting the Deed to State Capital grounds and building
‘thereon in Guthrie worth at least half a million dollars
Thus accepting the lease on the $150000 Logan County courthouse
rent free for use as atate office
Thus accepting a deed to a $20000
residence district of Guthrie
Thus accepting a guaranteed contract to pay all Capital removal
expenses from Oklahoma City to Gathrjc
Thus making it unnecessary for a million dollar or more appropria-
tion fpr a capital building at this time (or in the near future
or for the paying of rent which is now more than $50000 a
year which will grow greater each year
REASON WHY
Because Oklahoma City promised a millian dollar capital building
free to the state and now refuses to "make good” a3 Gover-
nor Haskell says in his open letter of last week
Because Oklahoma City has not paid the rent of offices for the
state officers and refuses to do so
Because Oklahoma City has not paid the expenses of moving the
capital from Guthrie as it promised the Legislature and Gover-
nor Haskell and still refuses to do so
Because Oklahoma City is now trying to fool the people Into ac-
cepting 58 unsaleable patches of realestate scattered over al-
most a township instead and in lieu cf its broken priraises of
a million dollar free capital building and all other promises
solemnly m ide
Because as Governor Haskell says in his open letter of last week
“it is simply up to the represent ves of Oklahoma City to :
make good pay the expenses of the removal of the capital and'
of incidental expenses not only cease charging the state of
Oklahoma office rent but reimburse the office rent of the last
eighteen or twenty months whatever has been paid and then '
proceed to deliver the one million dollar capital building or let
the people of the state render
and proper”'
