JULY 13 1906
Willi n good wheat crop n good
corn crop and a good fruit crop
in ilie new state the politicians
will simply have to make good in
order to keep up their end of the
white iiiiiiis burden
The 101 ranch at Bliss is figur
ing on another big entertainment
to take place September 15-16 In
honor cf the opening of the Chero-
kee Strip The entertainment
provided will be something on the
plan of the one laat year at which'
time there was -about 65000 peo-
ple present
Now that the statehood bill and
tiie Fourth of July are things of
past let’s refuse to get excited over
the constitutional convention:
simply plow corn look wise nnd
vote for the best man who repre-
sents the best principles be he a
democrat a populist a socialist
or a republican But of course if
you look at the 'proposition from
every side your ballot will go for
the republican in nine cases out of
tea
1 The statehood hill provides that
there shall be prohibition over in
the Indian Territory part of Okla-
homa for a period of 25 years and
now the people there backed by
the temperance people are claim-
ing that Oklahoma proper should
also lie prohibition Outside of
the jnorttl consideration and look
ing entirely at the fairness of the
proposition it seems to us that In-
dian Territory’s claim is a just one
Prohibition even with a little
bootlegging is better than open
bii loons
Under promise of putting out a
different brand of campaign thun-
der Bryan will again ‘receive the
presidential nomination by the
democrats Bryau was just sure
that this old Nation would go to
the -dogs if Roosevelt was elected
Daring the next campaign lie will
not make any such statements but
will admit that there are a few re-
forms he would like to see inaug-
urated and if elected will do his
beet to put through In other
words Bryan is not as radical as
he was four and eight years ago
People cannot be moved us they
once could by radicalism popul-
ism mid these hundred other isms
tThy see read and think for
themselves mid the statements of
politicians that this country will
go to tiie dogs unless such and
such a thing is done receives but
scant attention ’
The News editor took ‘ in the
6 ret annual encampment of the
(Spanish-American war vets at
-Bn id the first of the week being
eligable by having “fit slept and
kicked” on - the bloody field -of
Chickaniangn in ’98 vith the 21st
Kansas and n few other tin sold-
iers Of course the fact that the
boys at Chicknmnnga and otiier
American mobolizing points fail-
ed to cross to Cuba caunot he laid
up against them ns being in any
way their fault Someone had to
stay here to kep the Spaniards
away from the U 8 But any
way the boys had a good time at
' Enid After the business meet-
ing at the opera house in the after
noon a reception was tendered
them by the Elks and in the even-
ing Governor Frantz was initiated
into the order The next annual
encampment will be held at Guth-
rie n June at which time it is ex
pected that President Roosevelt
will be passing through Oklahoma
on his way to attend the Rongti
Riders 'reunion in Arizona and
will spend day or so witli the
boys at Guthrie
Book at the condition of the
working man today where is be?

are continually going up the spout
and plumbers are always in the
gutter the wall paper hangers are

An Arkansas pnper tells A story
of a man who was caught out in
the Woods during u storm He
didn’t want to get wet and the
only dry place lie could find was n
hollow log into which he umiinged
to crawl The rain lasted a couple
of l’ours when the fellow decided
he had belter be going home He
tried to extract himself from tiie
log but the soft wood had swollen
nnd he couldn’t budge a peg
There alone in the desolute woods
munv miles from the nearest habi-
tation the poor mini lay for hours
thinking of nil the nibiumess lie
had done when all at once it
dawned upon him that he had
read his home pnper for three
years without paying a cent for it
nnd then refused it at the post-
office and it made him feel so
small that he crawled out
log through a knot hole — Xi

robins with less distinguished colors
Sam Tatton was seen on our roads
last week with his gasoline bicycle
We Suppose the gasoline bicycle will
be more popular with the boys when
they learn to drive them and guide
them without using but one hand
Several threshing machine whistles
can be heard in this neck of the
woods at the noon hour The farm-
ers are all rejoicing over the fine
weather although the wheat Is not
turning out as many bushels per acre
as was estimated by some of- the
farmers at first w
She Catches Hie Wmncy

In himself :

games his favorite books his favorite
mode of exercise what he think of L1
any subject under the sun all of these
are of much snore importance to that
special young man than any of the

her sworn companion if she hangs

In many of ths portraits of the six

to cover the neck or fulfill the funo

'As was the case with so many aril
cles of dress the muff was first the
exclusive property of the nobility and
was carried by the commonest women
of Venice as well as by the women ol
the highest rank
The first Venetian muffs were small
made of a single piece of velvet bro

1668 the muff seems to have been
recognised as the necessary adjunct

On the day of a Chinese marriage
uninvited friends and neighbors or
oven perfect strangers are allowed to
come in and see the bride and thejr
may make any remark about her or
to her they please aaya the Boudoir
Sometimes things horribly rude and
disgusting are said:
To try her temper a man will say:
“Fetch your husband a cup of teat”
If she does so all will say leeringly:
“What an obedient wife yon are!"
If she sulks and does not do aa sbe
Is told they remark: "That is a pretty
vixen with which to begin married
life We cannot congratulate you on
that tartar" and other words to slml-
lar effect
- Then the poor thing is made to
stand on an Inverted cup to show how
small are her feet
