MADILL, OKLAHOMA. JANUARY 24, 1908.
FUNDS FOR THE COUNTY.
All county officers have certain
duties to perform and it is not the
dnty of one officer to attend to
the duties of another officer, nei-
theirdo the people expect it of
him. At the very best, it is hard
to put.into working order or ex-
tend over a community of people
a code of laws that were never
intended for them. But these
are the conditions our officers
must meet. Writs to be served,
orders to be executed, papers to
be tiled, prisoners to be trans-
ported, blanks to be printed, and
no money with which to do it.
The mere fact of a man being a
county official or doing work for
the county will not buy the com-
mon necessities of life.
No man would expect to set up
in house keeping to do a good
respectable business without
making arrangements to incur
and meet certain obligations.
This county is beginning a new
business, and it seems, without
money, but the people elected a
board of County Commissioners
as a ways and means committee
to superintend the finances of
the county. It is not the busi-
ness of the 'County Judge or
Sheriff to see after the finances,
but to enforce the law, and the
County Commissioners should
see that their hands are upheld,
and that necessary funds be pro-
vided. As we see it, they have
no right to say: "We have 110
means," but should inaugurate
some plan to provide the necessa-
ry running expenses of the coun-
ty. Other counties are making
these arrangements and meeting
their obligations, why not Mar-
shall County?
The Commissioners have sent
County Attorney Minter to Guth-
rie to investigate matters, and
they are to have another meeting
of the board next Tuesday. They
may at this time be able to make
all necessary arrangements for
meeting these demands, and we
hope they will; but we would like
for them to see this as others see
it, that the relief sought must
come through them.
The Tishomingo Capital and
the Johnson County Democrat
jumped onto Senator W. M.
Franklin with both feet in their
last issue for defeating the ap-
pointment of Judge M.L.Gar-
rett on the State Board of Re-
gents of the State University.
The Tishomingo delegation
doubtless thought that Franklin
had but little inlluence in the
matter of appointments or they
would certainly have consulted
his wish and not tried to run
over liiin rough shod. But
Franklin showed them that he
was there with the "goods" the
same kind they have been trying
to give him. Personally it would
have done us good for Judge Gar-
rett's appointment to have
been confirmed, but we should
all bear in mind that State
Senators as well as common peo-
ple have rights which should be
respected, and it appears from
the stand Franklin has taken
that his rights shall be respect-
ed. There is rot a man in the
Senate that is proposing more
wholesome legislation and doing
more for its passage than Frank-
lin, and to use the expression of
the Wapanucka Press he is con-
sidered: "one of -the big men of
the Senate."

The green bug has not yet
made his appearance and the in-
dications are that we will have
none this year. Sow oats.
Mr. Farmer, could you do bet-
ter than to plant a good sized crop
of Oats this season? There is no
sign of green bugs and you are
almost assured of a good crop
and it is almost certain that they
will demand a good price.
Attorney General Hadley of
Missouri is responsible for the
statement that the railroads are
making more money in that state
under the 2c fare than they did
under the 3c fare and free pass
fare. This may be, but the
pretty part is that every fellow
pays for hisowr ride.
Marse Henry Waterson and
Mr. Johnsing ain't doin' much.
Business Man: The key to suc-
cess for 1908 is—ADVERTISE.
Sow an oat crop, and it will
bring you money when you most
need it.
Notes From
the University
of Oklahoma
Announcement concerning the
new term at the University.
The school year at the Univer-
sity is divided into terms semes-
tere, one begining in September
and the other in February. In a
term courses are begun and com-
pleted. This year the second
semester opens Monday, Febru-
ary ild at nine o'clock.
The second term is as good a
time for a student to begin as the
first, because he can complete
Some of the Democratic (mis)
leaders are trying hard to create
a sentiment against the nomina-
tion of Mr. Bryan next July.
These same (mis) leaders were
allowed in 1904 to shelve Bryan
and put forth Parker, and, the re-
sult showed clearly they were
blind leaders as well as mis-
leaders.
Farmers: Plan out your crops
in a wav to avoid damage by the
insects as far as possible.
Madill is a good town, lots of
good people here, lots of good
land, cheap. Cast your lot with
us.
A
Secretary Cortelyou knows
now how it feels to be prodded
with Senator Ben Tillman's
pitchfork.
A large crop of oats for this
season, for every farmer in Mar-
shall county, seems to be the
proper thing.
Senator W. M. Franklin of Ma-
dill started the ball to rolling
that no doubt in a short time will
result in the election of United
States Senators by direct vote of
the people.
Remember! That David Rus-
sell did as much, if not more, for
theDemoc -aticparty in Marshall
County during the last campaign
than any other man in the county.
Now lets send him as one of the
delega tes to the National Conven
ti on from this Congressional
District, to show him our appre-
ciation for his services.
R. L. Davis is in receipt of a
letter from Atoka, the home town
of Hon. D. H. Linebaugh, asking
that Mr. Linebaugh's name be
placed before the Marshall
County Democratic Convention
called to meet Feb. loth, as one
of the delegates from this Con-
gressional District to the Dem-
ocratic National Convention to be
held in Denver. Mr. Linebaugh
is a brilliant attorney and a
staunch Democrat and in him the
Democrats of this District would
have a good representative.
and secure credit for every
course of studies he pursues.
The stud int who enters in Sep-
tember and remains all year can
finish about 30 points toward the
125 required for graduation; the
student who enters fur a half
year can complete !">. This ar-
rangement of the terms proves
of advantage to teachers who can j ed, not vindictive,
go to college after their 'own
teac hing term has ended, and to
scholars who cannot afford to at-
tend the University all year.
There is always a large in-
crease in attendance at the be-
ginning of the second semester.
More would attend i? the ad-
vantages of entering the second
term were widely known.
Ovation To Bryan
Washington, D. C., Jan. 21.—
The intention of the Democratic
party to nominate W. J. Bryan
for President, at the national con-
vention in Denver this year, was
declared on the floor of the house
today by Representative Champ
Clark of Missouri.
Some of the Republicans joined
with the Democratic members in
the hand clapping that followed
the announcement. .
Anniversary
Of Memorable
Speech
Washington. Jan. 21. Today is
the anniversary of one of the
most memorable speeches ever
delivered in the United States
senate, and that fact is recalled j
by many aged men of Washing- j
ton who lived in the national |
capital during those troubled j
times. It was on January 21,
1861, that Jefferson Davis who)
led- the lost cause to defeat, arose
in his place in the senate cham-
ber and solemnly announced the
secession of his state Mississippi
from the Union and his with-
drawal from the senate.
Those who heard the momen-
tous address of Jefferson Davis
declare that it was a master-
piece of oratory, not impassion-
but abound-
ing in expressions of love for
his former colleagues and as-
sociations. It brought tears to
the eyes of many senators, and
after its conclusion nearly every
member of the august body
crowded around the tall, thin,
towering form of the Mississippi
statesman and shook his hand in
farewell. The address was grave
and earnest and delivered with j
all the courtly grace of a south-
ern gentleman of the old school,
but the force of the orator did
not succeed in hiding the depth
of feeling and emotion that ani-
mated the man.
The anniversary is especially
memorable at this time because
of the fact that the senate is now
the center of the oratorical activi-
ties of another southerner bear-
ing the same name, Jefferson
Davis of Arkansas. Those who
have had the opportunity to
hear both men,however declare
| that the similarity between the

You should get an early variety

that you may at least make some
cotton in spite of the boll weevil.
