OF AND FOB THE PEOPLE
Five thousand Illinois and Iowa
democrats heard Champ Clark at
iDavenport (lows' on Labor Day The
keynote of his address was this:
4 “One of the crowning glories of state
craft philosophy humanitarlanlsm
and religion in the twentieth century
will be the discovery of some plan
whereby every man and woman shall
enjoy the usufruct of their own la-
bor and which will prevent any one
man becoming the beneficiary of the
toil energy talenta aud sweat of
many men women and 'children"
'We should like to see a man cherish-
ing such Ideals president of the Uni-
ted States The present occupant of
the White iHouae baa no such sym-
pathy for the masses — Oklahoman
o
lit is doubtless necessary for Colo-
nel Roosevelt to say something occa-
sionally to arouse a waning public
interest in him but he should select
his subjects with more care' When
be alma his blunderbuss at President
Taft's peace trestles the rebound Is
more damaging than the charge — K

When we glance over the statis-
tics of fatalities In the recent ’Russo-
Japanese war we are constrained
somewhat to listen to President
Taft’a plea' for universal peace Ja-
pan has Just made kuown her losses
In that war There were 40664
killed and 126695 wounded among
them while the 'Russians suffered a
much greater loss
o—
The boose Interests are still cir-
culating re-submission petitions in
(Oklahoma But they may just as
well save their efforts to be used to-
ward making an honest living The
taxpayers of this state have declared
they would not have a special elec-
tion for some time to come No one
but saloon keepers gamblers and dis-
’ tillers want saloons here anyway Do
you belong to that class?
o
IHlp Hurrah! (Dear Old Maine did
"come back" The first returns
from her prohibition election the
other day gave the saloons a close
majority but 21 hours later the of-
ficial canvass showed that the atate
would remain dry by about 475 majority

'Editor Clark of the Wigwam was
In Ada (Monday making an effort to
close a deal with some of our !ltl-
rens whereby the Frisco division
might be moved from the up-county
burg to Ada In exchange for tbe
Frisco division we were to give
(Francis the cement plant and ice fac-
tory the officers of those concerns
were also to be moved to Francis
(Before the final details of the trade
could be worked out however (Mr
Clark -was called home to look after
his newspaper and real estate busi-
ness up there It is not likely that
negotiations will be resumed soon
“Another woman” will bring a man
to deeper grief quicker than any
other one thing (Paul Beattie a
young man of a good family In Old
Virginia has come to that conclu-
sion even though he does not admit
It He had a happy home and wife
that was all an honest man could
expect gf a woman In his idle mo-
ments he began a flirtation with
pretty and winsome Beulah Binford
A child was born to the pair and he
could not get away from “the other
woman” He murdered his wife
whom he bad sworn to protect In
order that be might be free and open
in bis conduct toward Beulah Bin-
ford He was convicted for wife
murder and sentenced to be electro-
cuted Tbe “other woman” turned
against him and even testified
against him In the trial for his life
The harvest of that flirtation: A
broken home and a murdered mate
a child who will never know the
love of a father nor honor of a good
name disgrace wrought upon the
associated families which will feel
that sting for generations and a
young man sent to the electric chair
to pay the penalty for sowing his
“wild oats” Tbe same will come to
all men who continue to sow bad
seeds The harvest never ends — but
wbo will take this case as a warn-
ing? o -

W J Bryan was right when he
said “You can’t put the trusts out pf
business by making them pay a fine
to breaks up -the giant trusts which
have a monopoly on the greater part
of our staple products we must put
the heads of those concerns in the
penitentiary" and it is a fact too
Tbe sugar trust probe recently ex-
posed a rank trust upon which was
imposed a large fine It was paid
But within the last sixty days the
price of sugar has advanced about
$200 per hundred pounds Now who
pays the fine for the sugar trust?

Winter Oats
Do you know how winter oats wtu do
hare for winter pasture and early crop
aad where to set the best seed? — Geo
Brentnall Pawnee County Oklahoma
Winter oats havs dons very well
with u- on ths average of about every
other year They are not a safe crop
and are not considered equal to wheat
or wlntrr rye for winter pasture The
best winter oata are the Winter Turf
aad seed may be secured from seed
companies I know of no producer
at this time who has seed for sale If
you get some variety of wheat to
plant we would advise the Karkof va-
riety If you cannot secure this a
good pure strain of Turkey Red
should be very satisfactory — O O

a half pounds of grapes without stems
add one pint of water and cook until

ceae by adding one gallon of sugar
to each gallon of Juice 8ee that the
bottles are perfectly clean and well
sealed when filled as la tbe previous
method Both methods will make a
Juice which should be diluted with
water to teat before serving A small
piece of lemon may be served with
each glass — C K Francis Chemist

Harman Grady County Oklahoma
1 Usually the animals do not die from
bloat or indigestion nor do they choke
to death The plants ere most dan-
gerous In the following conditions of
growth: Young plants second
growth frosted plants stunted plants
As the animate die Very suddenly it is
Impossible in most caaea to adminis-
ter an antidote The remedies that
have been suggested are the results of
investigations of poisoning of men in
the various cyanide industries The
following have been suggested: In
halations of ammonia (household am-
monia) and subcutaneous Injection of
ammonia the latter would of course
have to be applied by an experienced
person or veterinarian Large doses
of glucose this material Is usually on
hand in the form of cane syrup or mo-
lasses A large dose of some quick
acting purgative such as a mixture of
linseed oil and epsom salts have also
been suggested This should be given
as follows: Dissolve the salts In wa
ter and give to the animal then fol-
low with linseed oil — C K Francis

Bermuda Grass
Please advise how to keep Bermuda
grass from taking possession of valley
land — Leo Becker Pittsburg County
Replying to your fbqulry with regard
to the control of Bermuda grasa In or-
der that it may not take posseasion of
valuable land8 to the exclusion of other
crops will say thet there is no danger
from this source if properly managed
In the flrat place Bermuda belongs
on the hillsides on the thin uplands
and places generally where washing la
likely to take place It la not a rota-
tion crop to be grown on the regular
fields as a part of a rotation system
You will recognize this from the fact
that It Is propagated by roots or sods
keeping from the seed There is no
difficulty about keeping It out of your
cultivated fields so long as you are
careful not to let It get over the line
This Is very easily done However
should It be in possession of some of
your rich garden spots you can eradi-
cate It by simply plowing it during
the long summer drouth just deep
enough to expose the root system to
the hot sun and keep it harrowed thus
drying It out and it necessary burn-
ing It Any plant that la not allowed
to come In contact with the soil moist-
ure and the air will not be able to live
and even In email patches you can
eradicate It by smothering It out that
Is take a heavy deep mulch and cover
tbe place over which will finally cauae
It to die
While this grass does become a peat
In the lowlands of the Mississippi val-
ley the thing that la Intereating 99 out
of ovory 100 of our farmers Is how to
got some of this grass started on tholr
farms — J A Wilson Director Okla-
