The Osage County News entered at the postoffice at
Pawhuska, Oklahoma as second-class mail matter No-
vember 14, 1919, under the act of Congress of March
3. 1879.
Some people never contract a monetary debt.
Others know them too well.

Keeping young has been reduced to a science,
but it is making a lot of massage artists rich.

Most men have an eye to feminine beauty, es-
pecially after they have been married for several
years.

The bald headed soldier has the advantage of
his buddies in time of war. He doesn’t need a fine

This country shelters many great men, but most
of them are too modest to make themselves know.

Yes, there’s one redeeming feature in the late
departure of spring. It postpones the grueling work
of summer.
Don’t forget the subject of good roads. When
ever you have an opportunity talk good roads, create
a demand for them, and lead everybody up to the
point of insisting that we have them
We need a tremendous amount of road improve-
ment right here in this community.
The horse and buggy are becoming obsolete.
They are too slow to suit the modern man and his
ideas of transportation.
The wagon as a means of hauling products to
market will soon disappear. Motor trucks are more
practical and the cost will soon be within the reach
of the average farmer. Many have them now, wheer
road conditions are anything like satisfactory.
The farmer is a shrewd business man, and he
dislikes to waste precious time where it can be
avoided. He would prefer a truck to a wagon any
day, but the present condition of many country raods
is not conducive to economical motor transportation
The remedy is better roads,—roads that are per
manent and that remedy must be applied.
Keep on talking, and urge others to do the
same.

Many men never stray from the straight and

Some people’s consciences never worry them.
They never get .found out.

STICKING ON THE JOB.
We no longer hear many complaints against the
United States mails. The postage stamps seem to
be working well under the present administration.-
Toledo Blade
France is out with a statement that she will not
reduce the amount of reparations due from Germany
unless the United States consents to cancel the
eleven or twelve billions of dollars in debts the allies
owe to this country.
Very plain, and easy to understand.
The United States must be the goat, or the re
will be no adjustment of the present European mud
die. European restoration is to be brought about
at the expense of the American people.
If that is to be the attitude of the allies the
sooner we realize if the better it will be for us.
Having supplied the money, munitions and man
power that turned the tide of war in favor of the
allies and enabled them to achieve victory where
they faced certain defeat, we are now asked to "come
across" again and pay their bills as well as our
own.
A lew more galling exhibitions of this kind may
lead Americans to regret that they ever had any-
thing to do with the war.
There is always a limit beyond which it is not
safe to go.

BUT HE, WON’T.
Henry Ford says this year will be the most
prosperous since the war. We hope he will give
credit to the political party under whose policies the
prosperity was made possible. Sedalia (Mo.) Capital

STILL INCAPACITATED.
Cartoonists have been making the G. O. P. ele-
phant look dejected. Maybe they'll give us a look at
the Democratic donkey as soon as he gets out of the
ha nds of the veterinary.—Toledo Blade.

SERVES AS BOTH.
It is difficult to tell whether the recurring rumor
that Woodrow Wilson is going to be a candidate
for the Presidency is intended as an encouragement
for the Republicans or as a discouragement to the
Democrats. Detroit Free Press.
-----o-----
A 100 PER CENT RECORD.
In three years the national debt has been re
duced as much as it was reduced in the entire period
between the Civil war and the World war. And that
was done in spite of the billion dollars of annual
interest payments on the rest of the debt, the half
billion annual charge of caring for disabled veterans,
and the tremendous increase in every item of federal
• xpenditure. It is a record of which the President,
his executive assistants and the Republican Congress
may well be proud. -Fremont (Neb.) Tribune.
-----O-----
STILL WANTS TO DICTATE.
Former President Wilson still wants to dictate
the selection of United States senators and a few
days ago sen the governor of Colorado the follow
ing:
"I trust you will not think it an unwarranted
liberty if I express the hope that you will select my
friend, Huston Thompson, for the vacant seat in the
Senate."
The Associated Press says that Thompson is a
graduate of Princeton, was one of the founders of
the first Woodrow Wilson Tor-President clubs in Colo
rado and was credited as being one of Mr. Wilson’s
personal representatives at the San Francisco con
vention in 1920. That is enough, of course, to con-°
since Wilson that Thompson would make a great
United States senator
A SURPLUS FOR A CHANGE.
For many years Americans have had an inti
mate acquaintance with the word "deficit" as applied
to the federal government.
Congress has made its annual appropriations,
and governmental departments have proceeded to
spend more than their allowances. A deficit has
been the customary result.
The result of non business administrations.
But perk up! They say every cloud has its
silver lining, but this year it is to be a golden one,
thanks to our national budget system.
From whence does this good news come From
General Lord, director of the budget the man who
ought to know.
The general tells us that at the end of the
present fiscal year there will be in the federal trea
sury a surplus of sixty millions of dollars over ex
penditures for the period.
The result of a real business administration.
Long live the budget and hasten the day when
taxes will begin to fall.
---O---
The wise merchant advertises his goods for sale
if they are worth advertising. The shrewd buyer
looks tor goods that are advertised, because he knows
that if they are worth advertising they are worth
buying.
Some men spend years in dreaming of the day
when they will be elected to public office, and when
they get there they spend the time in dreading the
hour when they will be kicked out. Between dream
ing and dreading there isn't much time for con-
Henry Ford is worth about $600,000,000, Rocke
feller is worth $300,000,900, and a number can count
up to $100,000,000 each. How much are you worth,
and what do you think of a system of taxation that
makes possible the accumulation of such gigantic
fortunes?
An American commission is in Mexico, sent
there by the president for the purpose of seeking a
basis of adjustment of the differences between the
two countries. General Obregon seems to be mak-
ing fair headway as president of our sister republic,
and if the politicians and big financiers will keep
hands off we can see no obstacle to a sincere and
permanent peace. It is only people who profit from
strife who want anything else.
There is only one way to keep professional poli-
ticians out of congress. That is to wait until the
devil gets the present crop and then forget to raise
any more.
When you think you are wise you are beginning
to be foolish.
o
An old man going a lone highway,
Came at the evening, cold and gray.
To a chasm vast and deep and wide.
The old man crossed in the twilight dim.
The sullen stream had no fear for him;
But he turned when safe on the other side
And built a bridge to span the tide.
"Old man," said a fellow pilgrim near.
"You are wasting your strength with your build
ing here;
Your journey will end with the ending day
You will never again pass this way.
You’ve crossed the chasm, deep and wide.
Why build this bridge at evening tide?"
The builder lifted his old gray head
“Good friend, in the path I come," he said,
"There followeth after me today
A youth whose feet must pass this way.
This chasm that has been naught to me.
To that fair haired youth may a pitfall be;
He, too, must cross in the twilight dim—
Good friend, I am building this bridge for him.”
CRITIC OR KICKER.
There are two classes of people in this country
who are constantly in the public mind constructive
critics and destructive kickers.
The constructive critic is a person who looks
always to the welfare of his country, or to that of
his state, or community. He analyzes questions of
import to the people with a fair and just mind, sep-
arates the good from the bad, and seeks to advance
the interests of the one and to retard those of the
other To accomplish this end it often be comes
necessary for him to point out to others those salient
features which to him appear to be to the best
interest of the people, and to expose and oppose
that which is inimical to the public weal.
A kicker is one who does not analyze his sub
ject, who voices his objection hastily and without
proper investigation, who often opposes a proposi-
lion simply because some other person or persons
favor it, and who is invariably found on the nega-
tive side of question that come up for public dis-
cussion He is a man who never leads and will
not follow
Think hard which are you?
Faith Worth While.
The only faith that wears well and
Fortunate Individual,
Lucky he who has been educated to
holds its color in all weathers is that bear his fate, whatsoever it may be.
which is woven of conviction and set by an early example of uprightness,
with the sharp mordant of experience, and a childish training in honor. —
Lowell, Thackeray.
