FRIDAY DEC 6 1912
When the bootleggers fall
out the temperance people
get in their law enforcement
The hunting is about over
in Custer county The game
has fallen before civilization
The Oklahoma Senate is in
session doing nothing and
threatening to adjourn every
day
President Taft has offered
a war vessel to Woodrow
Wilson to go to Panama and
familiarize himself with the
caual before the 4th of March
Arapaho is still shipping
d last
the cattle and hogs an
but not least a car load of
horses and mules are shipped
out each week
The seats arranged so con
veniently around Main street
in Arapaho have been used
continuously for three years
and have not turned out a
millionaire yet
There is one thing that the
bootlegger must soon learn
and that is the fellow who is
weak enough to buy and
drink his etuff will also be
weak enough to tell where he
got it if he gets pinched
Over at Jay Oklahoma
where a county seat fight is
in progress full blast a mob
has the town and the sheriff
is not able to cope with the
situation Lord deliver you
from a county seat fight
We are informed the dele-
gate to Stillwater must pay
his own car fare hotel bills
personal expenses etc etc
This will cut ont the enthusi-
asm and put the State Board
of Agriculture on a beneficial
basis The best thiugs in
the world are always cheap
In Congress now it is
claimed Bryan aud Ryan
have changed ends of the gun
since the Baltimore conven-
tion It is claimed the Dem-
ocrats are organizing the
House tighter than Joe Can-
non ever did Progressive is
not known in their progress-
iveness The State Board of Agri-
culture and the representa-
tive of the National Secretary
of Agriculture put in their
time quarreling and sparring
to put the other in bad all
last year So far ae the sal-
ary was concerned that these
fellows drew they might as
well have been at home under
the bed We get little enough
done when we get down and
do our beet in h
larmony
Custer county’s best farmer
says the land will pay if the
farmer will attend to his bus-
iness and that our great loss
ia time wasted talcing non
sense and reading trash The
farm haa many little access-
ories to bring in the small
revenues and many small
leaks The farm should bring
in a regular income from cat
tie horses hogs alfalfa
wheat and poultry In Ring-
ling’s show it coats 50 cents to
get in Reserved aeata are 25
cents more lemonade 6 cents
popcorn 5
cents and
cents concert 10 j
the sideshow 10
cents then you are relieved
of two bits more for books
telling a good advertising
story But the farmers will
only look after the 50 cents
admiesion and on this the big
circus would go stranded
It now turns out that the
salary fund in the county
treasury was low last July
aud the expert made Floyd
Armstrong turn over the
$780 witness fees and court
costs that he held in the
bauk in order that the state
examiner force might pocket
said coin on wage account
and thus eliminate profanity
around the court house
The pulpit recital of how
the Lord wrestled two hours
and thirty minutes with a
hardened sinner for a 10 cent
plug of Granger Twist was
greatly appreciated by the
congregation It is only by
such lurid word painting that
we can put an effective ban
on the noxious weed and get
expectorating masticators of
the filthy plant to turn lrom
their evil ways
A pall of gloom has been
cast over the state the boss of
the progressive campaign in
Oklahoma struck a poor de-
fenseless lawyer with hia fist
and killed him The blow
came without cause or provo-
cation Just why a prohibi-
tion temperance state still
clings to the old habit that
political bosses must be
rounders is a mystery It uu-
doubtedly comes from the
piker always being at the
polls
Wednesday December 18
will come a new test of politi-
cal maneuvering That day
the farmers and farmers only
will meet to elect delegates to
Stillwater who in turn wilL
elect the new state board of
agriculture Will farmers be
weighed in the balance and
found wanting when you have
everything in your own
hands or can you come to the
front and show the world a
rew gait politically for har-
mony ana economy to get
good results
Oranges candy meat or
bread will poison - a man if
confined to the same bill of
fare for a long time What
man needs as well as his
horse is a balanced ration
But your thoughts need the
same varied diet ' You must
not keep your thoughts on
money style clothes or any
one thing continually or you
will get batty in thoughts
You need a bal&pced ration
even for your thoughts
The Kenyon Bill
Next Monday the United
States senate will vote on the
Kenyon bill which proposes
to prohibit the shipment of
uor from license terri
tory Into states which
prohibitory laws
If the bill becomes a law
then the liquor dealer in
Oklahoma will have a diffi-
cult time to get the goods to
supply his regular customers
who seem to be gaining' is
number at an alarming rate''
Under the interstate com
meroe regulations liquor
may be shipped into prohi-
bition states It is quite as
easy to purchase a drink in
most prohibition states
in those states where liquur
selling is licensed But if
the Kenyon law becomes
effective -there will be bad
times for tha one who desires
to purchase a small cold
bottle on a hot day or a hot
toddy on a cold day if such
person lives in a state that
prohibits the sale of liquors
The National Liquor Dea-
lers’ association is raising
the passege of the Keuynn
bill That association ie
about to have the battle of
its career - The Kencii bill
seeks to curtail the business
of the liquor manufacture
as well as the brewers aud
persons engaged in com-
merce don’t like the idea of
decreased sales aud decreased
profits
Some of the arguim-nt of
the liquor meu are uuique
They claim that state prohi-
bition laws are capable of
local enforcement if local
officials desire
Does any one know where
local officials desire to enforce
the prohibitory law either in
Maine Kansas or other states
which prohibit the ea!e of
liquor!
The Kenyou bill is attract-
ing unusual attention Liquor
ia being shipped into Okla-
homa at the rate of many
car loads a day For a busi-
ness that does not advertise
the bootlegging business is a
marvel But if the Keyon
bill gets on the fede ral stat-
ute books it will be ‘‘good-
night” for the bootlegger
whether he lives in Maiue
Kansas or any other state
which hae unlicensed saloons
— Oklahoman
The election of Governor
Woodrow Wilsou as president
will have a tendency to fur-
ther encourage the educated
man Roosevelt Taft and
Wilson are all college bred
men But from Professor
Wilson is the educated man
likely to get the greatest
boost It will be natural for
Wilson when it gets iuto of-
fice to ‘fill the pieces with ed-
ucated and refined men For
a long time the bruiser booser
and and good epeiler has run
it over the other fellow oe-
cause he could carry his
ward But you need not be
surprised to see the school
man get hie just deserts If
it does it wdi give the student
a new impulse tggo to
school
W F Cabaniss amf’wife
Wednesday When they
married Mr Cabaniss went
work at $15 per iqonth and his
wife soon found employment
While a farmer today one of his
big businesses is the loaning of
money Mr Cabaniss says ’‘that
any of these poor farms in this
the best country on the face of
the earth will make any wide
awake aaan independently rich in
a few years” Every peice of
land he has pays him s profit
He has started -a great many
young men on -the road to pros-
