and be found sound
It is a philosophy that can be applied with soundness
with safety and advantage to the state affairs
Let us quote it for you:
"The illustrious ancients when they wished to make
clear and propagate the highest virtues in the world
put their states in proper order Before putting their
etates in proper order they regulated their families Be-
fore regelating their families they cultivated their own
selves Before cultivating their own selves they per-
fected their souls Before perfecting their souls they
tried to be sincere in their in their thoughts Before try-
lag to be sincere in their thoughts thy extended to the
utnost their knowledge guch im4stigation of knowledge
Jay in the investigation of things and in seeing them
as they really were When things were thus investi-
gated knowledge became complete When knowledge was
complete their thoughts became sincere When their
thoughts were sincere their souls became perfect "When
their souls were perfct their own selves became culti-
vated When their selves were cultivated their families
loam's regulated When their families were regulated
their states came tobe put in proper order When their
states were in proper order then the whole world became
peaceful and happy"
it is a philosophy that is self-evident
AND HER name was Muda-'----Maud Lee Mudd
She is a 85000000 baby-r7an Indian girl who ap—pears
at ter home in Vinita after being missed a year -
- Have a million dollars and every one wants to know
where you are where you have been and where you are
going r
Maud Lee Mudes statement is that her wealth had
caused her a lot of trouble i
' Perhaps the daughter of a poor Marshall county
'raiser is far more happier
- The Economy Buy
BUYING ADERTISED goods is economy
If only one automobile is made and no others the
cost would be prohibitive Likewise would a hundred but
the cost would be less
If only one fountain pen watch crock is made by
each expert a small fortune would be the cost but if
a thousand or a million are made the cost of each
becomes within the reach of reason
Thus when you buy advertised goods you are joining
in movement which cuts down production costs Com-
modities are producer better and for less with thousands
or millions of buyers
Each week in the Record you'll find advertised gods
advertised
What a wonderful economic force is advertising! -
A Commendable Appointment
GOVERNOR JOHNSTON'S a ppoiatment of Charles D
Carter retiring congressman from this district on March
4 to a place on the new highway commission meets not
only the approval of the southeastern section of the state
but that of the entire state
- Marshall county as expressed on every side is com-
plimented on the appointment Marshall county has al
ways felt that Charley as he is termed here is a part
of us
The new highway commissioner has never been chat
lenged for his honesty and integrity There is no doubt
11e' could have retired from congress a rich man if he
had desired His hands have always remained in front
of him 'That honesty and integrity will make an im
prission on an official who deals in a people's xnillions
in road system that is not surpassed in this nation
In addition to that Charley Carter has a matchless
party record not only in the rational house of represen-
tatives but in the state ' Defeat did tot cause him to
sulk in his tent Just as he does in victory he fought
in defeat taking off his coat and rolling up his sleeves
in defense of the ticket He fought for the election of
his successor Wilburn Cartwright as he did for himself
It was Thomas and Johnston down to constable "On the
firing I:ne" was his plirase during the last campaign
and that may be taken as the criterion of his character
fl Givernor Johnston is to be complimerGed on securing
(he services of Charley Carter and the people are fortu-
nate in having a friend from this district In - our road
building program—a man who will stand guard night sal
day in our interests
NO ONE can explain Lincoln 11 came out of the
invisible walked up to his task performed it and went
back into the invisible again American will always have
such a men in itch a crisis We cantkot analyse such
men but we know the soil in which they nourish their
roots It is the common soil of the earth and the common
race They will give rootage to another such a Lincoln
when the time of need the time fir his a4earing comes

Washington Was Human Character
GEORGE WASHINGTON whose birthday anniversary
we celebrete this week has been universally misrepre-
sented to us byhistorians and teachers by being placed
on a sort of pedestal of God-like greatness
Investigation and study by recent biographers and
historians have made of our first President an intellig-
ible human being—a man with blood brains and soul
We have been taught that George Washington was
from the Cavaliers of England Biographers are often de
sirous of endowing their character with a famous enees-
try Woodward in his 'Georg W ashington the Image
and the Man" says there was no Cavalier inimigration to
the colony of Virginia but that day laborers and indented
seivailts peopled the colony He says that the Washingons
and Lees were gentlefolk families in England only Hen-
drik Willem Van Loon says "Dukes don't emigrate" The
Washingtons of Sulgrave England were small gentry one
degree above the yoeman farmer in the English social
scale The first families of Virginia then were created
by their own acquisitions into an aristocracy after they
had settled'
We have been taught little of the boyhood days of
George Washington Yet from his mother's home filled
with children and slatten negro servants he went to the
age of fourteen to live with his elder brother Lawrence
where he met the best people of the colony formed a
second link in his chain of his environment by becoming
a youthful favorite of Lord Fairfax a scholarly man of
the world At the age of twenty-two be was Major Wash-
ington and his name was heard in London Is it not
much better that be should rise on his own merits and
the associations he had formed to such a place of dis-
tinction than to have been given the position by reason
of his being a "Cavalier?"
We have often thought of Washington being a leader
in the Revolution yet this is far from the truth In
the fiela of thought Samuel Adams the engineer of the
'Revolution Patrick Henry the tongue of the Revolution
and Christopher Gadsen of South Carolina were the born
rebels who we conceived the propaganda thought in the
abstract while Washington was looking at everything from
the practical aspect
Woodward says "the Revolutionary movement was
start&I by the merchants ind lawyers" and rhad nothing
to do with personal liberty" Washington was a member
of the House of Burgesses for six years and during the
time that Patrick Henry delivered his famous speech but
he hardly speaks a word during these years He was a
tobacco planter who thoughtincessantly of land and be-
- ing neither an orator nor a writer be is seldom mentioned -
in the vast record in the ten years of coptroversy pre-
ceding the Revolution He was pro-and and anti-British
however
When chosen general of the coluelal armies be sought
to model the army on the British system not knowing
such an organization was not adapted to the colonial
spirit as low class men for soldiers and "gentlemen" for
officers The capture of the Hessians at Trenton was
the outstanding feature of his generalship butbitr ere-
- cutive ability was displayed in selection of officers and
carried him through as a great commander The- men
that gathered behind the systems of Marion and ether
southern Revolutionary leaders best represent the force
of the American shiret - k - -
- Then when came a call to form a new governrossit
lara slieculailOn nnd money -lending were --among - the
economic -interests of at least thirty-eight of the forty-
five delegates Washington included to the constitutional
-t—on-vention which: was not yet known to the people as
such a gathering According to the records of the- trees'
ury department forty of these ' delegates held public
ceritficates Although Washington was the presiding of-
ficer of the convention be did not express( an Opinion
but once ansl that on a trilling matter ills part in the
shaping of that document which has stood the test of
the years was negligible - '
Woodward says' that "one of the most significant facts
about Washington's long and distinguished career is that
he never formulated any coherent theory of government"
He says Washington's political' personality was that of
a large city banker" Ile says the banker stands for
stability for law and order for land and mortgages
and Washington believed in them He says that the
banker in the struggle between men and property sym-
pathisers with property convinced that the people who
have not accumulated property lack the brans to carry
on large affairs and will disturb values Washington was
a captain of industry He had married the richest woman
in the colony in the widow cast is
Washington retires from the public eye when be
leaves the Presidency after two terms His farewell ad-
dress is counted as one of the classics of American
political literature But he did not write it Washington
submitted a rough draft of it to his able lieutenant
Alexander Hamilton and that able political theorist re-
wrote it from beginning to end and without a Washington
style it stands today with the mark of Hamilton's crisp
literary touch Washington signed it therefore it is
known as his expression of sentiment
The Federalists in booming the candidacy of the
man who lived south of the Potomac endowed him with
great intellectual ability but investigation fails to re-
real a man with more than ordinary intellect
Yet Washington stands as a very great Amorkan and
despite all the search made by the critical eye he has-
enough human qualities to entitle him to that rank of
distinction
I leek ling the Governor
A SUTEMATIG attempt is being made by men of
some polLical influence to embarrass Governor Johnston
The Democrat likes to see fair play The Governor has
been able this far to more than hold his own with the
crowd that is heckling him
e Some of the men in this anti-administration line up
have been repudiated by the voters of the state Some
of them have held public office and have been found
"shy" in weight while othcrs have sought appointments
under the present administration and have failed to
land
The object seems to be to handicap the governor
They are bringing pressure to bear in both- houses of
the legislature antagonistic to him They are attempting
in every way to 'frustrate his efforts to give the people
a clean administration
Governor Johnston in the opinion of many men who
voted against him in the election le honest and capable
He is really trying to carry out his pledges made during
the campaign but he is fighting a battle such as no
previous governor of the state had—Wewoks Capital
Democrat
Human betterment in the form of foundations is rep-
resented by more than a billion dollars in our nation to-
day George Peabody an international banker of bis
day blazed the trail in this kind of a philanthropy in

Poultry Outlook
Is Good For 1927
000 M1WO0
Stillwater Feb 23—The production
of poultry and eggs in Oklahoma is
rapidly expanding but there seems to be
to danger of over-expansion during the
next year states the Agricultural Out-
look report for Oklahoma in 1027 pre
pared by the Oklahoma A & M college
The quality of Oklahoma eggs is
rapidly improving it also says which
is hiving the market possibilities Most
ege producers in Oklahema who can
put out a quantity product which is
well iandardized will usually find a
ready market at profitable prices Con-
sumers are willing to pay a premium
for a good quality standard product
Where the farmer has sufficient cheap
feed available and can give his flock
proper housing care and management
he will no doubt find it profitable tO
expand somewhat his poultry production
for 1927 according to the report This
ought especially to apply to the cotton
belt
Also each farm family should produce
plenty of eggs and poultry for home
use even if they do not attempt to pro-
duce them for sale This is one of
the cheapest ways of reducing the cost
of family living on the farm
The condition outlined in the report
indreate that egg prices during 1927 will
probably be maintained near the 1920
level although the cold storage holdings
of case eggs January first were below
teh five-year average Holdings 'a
frozen eggs were greater Poultry prices
are likely to be depressed somewhat
due to large quantities of frozen poultry
in storage
On many Oklahoma farms turkeys
can be raised at a profit' Many find
tarkeys an added advantage in control-
ling insect pests They need close at-
tention however

I"Restricted Repetition"
I Inaugurated by S TV
Bell Telephone Co
The Southwestern Bell Telephone corn-
pany put into effect "Restricted Repe-
tition" at Madill on Friday February
18 1927
This service will eliminate the nee-
essity of the operator repeating the
telephone number after you have given
the number if it is understood very
distinctly she will now acknowledge
the call with the reply "I thank you"
and then establish the connection want-
ed without the delay of repeating the
number which was beard when first
given This service will assure a sav-
ing in time increased speed in handling
calls and elimination of annoyance to
some subscribers by delay occasioned
by repeating and the expectation of ac-
knowledging repetition
It will also be a courtesy which seems
to require some acknowledgement of
orders by operators "Thank you" was
adopted as being brief as well as sat-
isfying the demands of courtesy and
as a means of reassuring subscribers
-
that orders are understood
In cases where the number wanted e
Is not clearly understood or if their
is anyquestion as to the correct num-
ber wanted the operator will as here-
tofore ask you "What number please"
It is felt that this isa service which
will add speed and give faster service
to Madill as it has already been placed
in all of the larger exchanges through-
out the state and found very satisfactory-
--f
The Madill exchange now handles
over 3000 local connections daily !
