Governor Cruce, after two years of
studiously getting In shape for the
event, announces on the eve of an
election that he expects to enforce
the prohibitory law of the state.
We hasten to assure the governor
that he will have something to keep
him busy from here on out.
South Carolina is pulling off a pri-
mary election fraud which Is equal
to anything yet staged In the history
of politics It is charged that Cole
lilease, the present governor of the
state, had about twelve thousand
votes fast for him above the num-
ber registered, for he needed about
that number to make his election se-
cure. Proof of the charge seems to
be abundant.

The frpnt page 6f the Herald may j
not look any too beautiful to some
of the brethren up and down the
line, but It will compare very well
with some of the tough lookiig In-
side pages that grace a few of our
exchanges. What's the use of get-
ting up a paper if all the pages don't
look well? A rotten inside or back
page is like a iilthy kitchen in a
home. We're in favor of making
the whole paper look respectable.
It isn't going to be many years
now until there will he dozens of
pretty yards and homes in Guymon.
Trees are being planted every year
and yards are being looked after
each summer. Why not plan to
have a nice yard for the coming sum-
mer by getting your dirt hauled this
lull and having things put in shape
for it. The beautiful green of clover
or blue gruss is worth an the cost,
especially on a hot and dusty day.
They don't cost half as much as
you'd suppose, the principal feature

Many persons wondered why the
Oklahoman printed that list of boot-
legging joints. A few verdant pro-
hibitionists were delighted and
thought for a time that paper was
coming out agaltiBt the liquor inter-
ests. But the Sapulpa Light claims lo
have found the reason for the publi-
cation of the list. The Post s expla-
nation is as follows: "It Is character-
istic of the conslderateness of the Ok-
lahoman to publish a directory ot
Oklahoma City's joints prior to the
democratic state convention held in
the metropolis."
The Herald never could understand
why some country paperB were so
everlastingly fussy about cutting ads
off their front page. It may not be
strictly metropolitan, but It li good

commissioners and disallowed by
them. While the activities of the
Tax League have already recovered
more than a thousand dollars for the
county, the commissioners refuse to
allow them $1.'.0 for expenses. The
commissioners also ordered the suits
dismissed in the supreme court. How
the supreme court will look upon an
order from a defendant to dismiss a
suit against himself, (one commis-
sioner Is defendant) remains to be
seen."
There Is not an officer In the court
house who has failed to make good,
and In the face of an almost over-
whelming indebtedness left by for-
mer officials, every fund depleted
and the great loss occasioned by the
court house lire, practically all In-
debtedness has been paid and the
county Is on a cash basis and war-

with but little over one year of the
present administration and the levy
for county purposes has been reduced
one third No money has been
wasted and county affairs have been
handled In a business-like manner
and if the taxpayers will studv the
situation they will find they have
been grossly misled and deceived by
individuals who have gone about
over the county making statements
that cannot be verified by the rec-
ords Cutting the county levy one-
third is a flat contradiction of state-
ments by men who talk at random for
the purpose of prejudicing the tax-
payers and if such men are elected
to office you may expect an adminis-
tration of county government that
will parallel the gang put out of of-
fice two years ago. Some of the
men seeking office now and who ha\e
been most active In criticising the
present officers undertook a few
months ago to force the commission-
ers to buy the old West land hotel
for court house purposes at twice Its
real value, but the present officials
rejected the proposition. Then Isn't
it reaBonahle to suppose that fellows
who attempt such schemes as pri-
vate citizens would be In a position
bb public officials to put such schemes
over the taxpayers? A man corrupt
In his private life and practice would
more than likely make a dishonest
public official.
for re-election may be proud. When
they went into office they inherited
a county burdened with debt, which
they have cleared away; they had a
burned court house and records and
work in some offices weeks, months,
and in some cases years behind. They
have gotten everything in first class
shape; the county is now on a firm
and sound basis with all Indebted-
ness either paid or provided for in the
levy for this year and taxes cut one
third. They promised economy and
have made good—at least they
haven't grafted right and left, with
shortage cases to fight In court—they
haven't run the county in the hole
thousands of dollars and they haven't
bad to borrow $6,000 from the state
on which to do business. They will
go before the people on their records,
which are records worth while and
which are fulfillments of campaign
pledges two years ago.
Republican* Organized Tuesday
The republican candidates had
meeting Tuesday morning and organ-
ized for an active campaign during
the remainder of the political year.
The officials have been through one
of the worst terms of office Imagi-
nable to handle and feel they have
made records of which candidates
in an excellent manner. At the
proper hours refreshments were
served, which added to the pleasure
of the evening. The reception was
arranged by Mrs. Rogers, Mrs. Welty,
Miss Amy Balrd, Miss Mildred Haird
and Mrs. N. E. Nance, who deserve
much credit for its splendid suc-
cess.

Animals Coining with Gollniar Broth-
er's Shows
Nearly all the great cities In the
country possess public menageries
which constantly buy wild animals;
quixotic individuals frequently buy
cubs of one kind or another, rang-
ing frofm tigers to bears; many
wealthy Americans maintain private
zoological parks of greater or less
extent, and the score of large circus
companies must be constantly sup-
plied because of the high death
rate among their animals. The rec-
ord of imports of the Gollniar Broth-
ers Shows for the past year is, ele
phants, camelB, tigers, lions, leo-
pards, pumas, panthers and any num-
ber of small animals and birds
There are enough wild animals now
in the Gollniar Brothers' winter
quarters to Btock a big show. All
are never carried on the road, in
case of accident, fire, etc.
Cubs—tiger, lion, leopard and
bear cubs, are in special demand by
families. They are reared and pet-
ted like kittens, but they Invariably-
come back to the dealers at a quar-
ter of what they sold for, or even as
gifts. One eloquent letter which a
dealer recently received from a wo-
man who had purchased a lion cub
a year ago read as follows:
"Please come and take my lion
away. She has eaten our Newfound-
land dog."
"From appearances no one would
suspect the Siberian bear In the me-
nagerie of comedy, yet It really
laughs at the new sights It contin-
ually witnesses dally."

Bills allowed by the state show
that J. F. Newsom, one of the "re-
formers" now assisting in the purifi-
cation of politics in Texas county,
and who is at present fighting short-
age cases in district court, filed his
bill and drew wages from the state
for 47 days' work on the deep well
at Carthage, whereas the timekeeper
has him credited with but 21. He
charged $10 fo- board and the lady
who boarded him on this particular
occasion had him charged with but
one meal. His transportation charg-
es for the trip were $3.'i. Dur-
ing his aDsence from office two years
it will be observed that Mr. Newsom
has not lost all regard for the in-
terests of the "peepul" fcr he still
knows how to charge.
