The potato yield in this immediate vicinity is esti-
mated at from 75 to 125 bushels per acre
That "Michigander" has done a good thing for his
town to say the least of it By stirring up the Ter-
rible Teddy he has gotten for his place a deal of
free advertising

Maxey for governor next year? Excuse us please
We should be glad to see an east side man elected
again to that office and it is not at all unlikely
that we could get out in the brush and find a man
who would make good even as our first governor
made good but unless we experience a change of
heart altogether different from that we have ever
before experienced we are not for Maxey by a long
shot
Teddy is still in the limelight This big Bull Moose
will have notoriety it matters not how it may come
or from what source During the few years of his
life he has roamed the plains fought for his country
occupied the white house "busted trusts" organized
Annias clubs used the "big stick" formed a new po-
litical party and now he is mad as a hornet because
some little fellow away up in the wilds of Michigan
hinted that some one had smelled his breath once
and there was the scent of something stronger than
water
The Muldrow Public School has just closed one of
the most successful terms of its history From start
to finish the work went on without a hitch and the
pupils went forward by leaps and bounds And that
which is equally pleasant to relate the teachers were
all re-elected and with one exception have agreed
to retain their places on the faculty for another year
We feel sure that there is not a better school in the
county than Muldrow has had and will have again
and we seriously doubt if there is as good and this
is saying quite a good deal for Sequoyah county has
a number of good schools and few if any sorry ones
Reports say that one of the matters for immediate
attention listed on the Democratic program is the
taking of such steps as are necessary for the inde-
pendence of the Philippines To this end President
Wilson has sent Prof H J Ford of Princeton a spe-
cial friend in whose judgment he has the greatest
confidence to examine into conditions in the Philip-
pine Islands and report as to whether or not the Fil-
ipinos are ready for independence We would humb-
ly suggest that in the event the Professor makes an
adverse report that we just deed the whole thing
' lock stock and barrel back to Spain and pay her a
little to take them off our hands if she will not ac-
cept them as a gift
With the burning of the court house at Jay and
the destruction of the records there is opened an-
other chapter in the county seat fight which for so
long has been a disgrace to our sister county of Del-
eware The origin of the fire appears to be a mys-
tery—that is no discoveries have been made That it
was of an incendiary origin we suppose no one
Questions The guilty party may be apprehended
and punished and then again he may never be
Whether or not he is the hurt to the county is just
the same Recoils are destroyed which can never
be replaced and innocent taxpayers are made to suf-
fer and the county as a whole will be hindered in
its forward march a number of years and the hurt
of it is that all this has been brought about not nec-
essarily the fire but the trouble by the unholy rival-
ry existing between the contending factions when
in reality the ones to be profited would not number
a half dozen At best the location of the court
house is a doubtful asset to any town and:yet all
over the state over this doubtful asset there has
been planted in the breasts of the citizens of rival
towns bitterness which will not have entirely van-
ished when another generation has come and gone
Congressman Barth° Idt of Missouri a long time
advocate in our national legislative body of ‘Torld-
- wide peace was moved by a good impulse when he
introduced a resolution for a constitutional amend-
ment which would prohibit any state in the future
from enacting ahti-alien laws such as California has
just enacted but even this good man has not stopped
to consider that it is much easier to find fault with
the conduct of others than it is to do better than
others do when we are placed in the same position
His own good state of Missouri will never have the
same state of affairs to contend with that California
has had to contend with and is now contending with
just as the states in the far off north have never had
to contend with conditions which have confronted
rt the south in the matter of the negro problem but
just as these states have criticised the states of the
south for their apparent wrongs done the negro so
Mr Bartholdt secure from that which is a menace to
every man on the Pacific coast criticises these peo-
ple for acting in their necessary self defense Hav-
ing had the experiences that we have had we are
inclined to think that while California and Californ-
N ins may be misunderstood and criticized for a long
time to come the right thing has been done and
only that has been done which would have been
done by any other people menaced as they were
We haven't heard anything -definite about a cele-
bration here July 4th We have a little less than a
month to get ready
One of our business men said: "Why isn't some-
thing done about cutting the weeds?" Why don't
the town dads order the weeds cut in the streets the
citizens will do their part
Reports are coming in from all quarters of the
splendid prospects for splendid crops If our hopes
may be realized then we shall make some long
steps toward the front Especially do we feel that
this will be true of Sequoyah county the greatest
among the great We have with all that we have
accomplished since statehood just in reality begun
to grow Our farmers becoming more and more
specialists and our business men are waking up to
the fact that they will have their greatest prosperity
when the farmers are prosperous There is there-
fore a more splendid spirit of harmony than has
ever prevailed before more hearty co-operation In
this county we have passed the days of experiment
We have found out what we can produce and we
are beginning to give attention to that which will
yield the largest returns We have just found out
that we have boundless resources and the future
will see us developing along all lines in a way that
will seem phenominal to the outside world even to
our sister counties in Oklahoma the land of big do-
ings Our farmers our business men our profes-
sional men all more or less imperfect are men far
above the average and those who look in upon us
for the first time are surprised to find conditions as
they find them If we are sufficiently wise to go on
in the direction we are now traveling we can proud-
ly invite the world to stand off and watch us grow
Representative H O Young of Michigan last week
resigned his seat in the house because he had come
to the conclusion that he had not been elected to the
office notwithstanding he had the certificate of elec-
tion The election officers had thrown out 58 votes
in the count and Mr Young had been convinced
that these should have been counted for his oppon-
ent who would have been elected had they been so
counted This is a move in the right direction if
Mr Young was sincere in this move and we prefer
to believe that he was If he was playing to the gal-
leries as some have intimated of course it is a dif-
ferent proposition so far as he is concerned but
after all it shows the popular trend An honest
man doesn't want an office to which he is not en-
titled and to which the people have not elected him
and we are glad to believe that the world is moving
uo to that point when men will look upon the offices
to which they are elected so differently from that
they have looked upon them that fraud in elections
will pass away and that it will be -a common thing
for a man when he finds that by bny sort of means
he has had issued to him the certificate of election
to an office to which he was in all fairness not elect-
ed to resign If sincere in this move Mr Young
has set an example for all men who come after him
and his temporary loss will mean his ultimate gain
On the other hand if he was insincere and sought
to boost himself for the future by this move it is
even then an encouraging sign since it points out
unmistakably the signs of the times the trend of
popular thought It tells us that the people are be-
ginning to wake up from their long sleeps along an-
other line and that they will soon demand of their
candidates a clean bill of health in more particulars
than one So mote it be
An exchange says: "Judge Bruce of MaldenMiss
has the Chinese idea of making the punishment fit
the crime Several boys were brought into court
for throwing stones and he told them he would or-
ganize a class in stone-throwing and have them
taken out into a field where they could throw to
their heart's content" And we are told that the
plan works well After all why should it not work
well? This is our idea of things exactly Boys as
a rule had rather do the things which we tell them
they must not do In this case so long as throwing
stones was a violation of the orders ofsome one it
was a funny proposition but when it come to persist-
ent and systematic stone-throwing under compul-
sion the whole thing lost its charm When we
come to think of it we are all just nothing more or
less than grown up children Suppose for example
it could be as a matter of punishment for our com-
mon crime in this country the getting of money
under false pretenses the offender could be set to
work and kept at it until the ill-gotten gains were
replaced might we not make it a less attractive way
of getting money? During the administration of
Judge John H Pitchford possibly more men have
been put upon their good behavior and left to stand
on their bonds with Sentence deferred for this of-
fense than for any other In each case the offender
ha § been required to pay all costs and in most cases
the costs have amounted to something like the
aitiount of money they were charged with obtaining
while' in some of them the costs have gone far be-
yond the amount secured by the offender Some of
these cases have been standing for quite a good long
time and not a single man has appeared the second
time The lesson in each case has been a good one
and these men have found out that it doesn't pay to
falsely obtain twenty-five dollars from Some one and
then have to dig up from fifty to one hundred and
fifty just as good dollars to get the matter adjusted
with the courts Ppssibly the time will come and it
may be that it will come sooner than we anticipate
that offenders against the law will be given a pun-
ishment for their wrongdoings as nearly like the
crime they have committed as may be and thus be
constantly reminded of their wrongdoings while
atoning for them To say the least of it a great
many changes could be made which would help us
to deal more sanely with men gone wrong than we
now do
