One funny thing about most of
the candidates for the nomination
of sheriff is practically all of them
annoume that they will run the 0:-
flee with one or no deputy. The in-
teresting feature of the deal is that
no matter if the sheriff had 1,000
deputies, they'd have to get along
with what they made in fees derived
from arresting law violators What
the Herald wants to see come to pass
is the declaration of every candidate
as to how tar he will «o in the mat-
ter of enforcing law, not how much
he can cripple himself to hinder him-
self in enforcing it. Hut It often
looks to us like law enforcement is
about the last thing half of the howl-
ers reallv want
Editor Zimmerman of the Guy-
mon Herald returned Saturday from
Hutchinson where he had heard the
redoubtable T. It. make a speech.
Zimmerman was loaded to the guards
with Roosevelt enthusiasm and
thinks no one else has a ghost of a
chance to land the nomination at
Chicago next June In case Roose-
velt manages to get away with the
nomination, we hope the democratic
majority next November won't sour
Zim's usually cheerful disposition
Hooker Advance. Well, Helbert, the
only suggestion we have to offer at
this time is that a lot of fellows
will not spend more money for dem-
ocratic Ion tire material than they
can well afford to lose It would
be a shame for them to have to cur-
ry the material over another four
years.
The I Mpping Scale*
Justice holds her scales. There
comes a poor man and drops a $.">
fee to a lawyer in one scale There
comes the opposing man and depos-
its a $5,000 fee to a lawyer In the
other scale The scales dip to the
rich man
That is the administration of Jus-
Ice today. It is not fair, it ought
not to be tafal. it is ig
the purchase price went to the itch-
ing palm of Justice herself and not
Into the scales to be taken by the
lawyers.
The retail of the Judiciary and th >
retail of decisions have been 1 ailed
radical In truth they but scratch
the surface. They are not radical at
all; they do not go to the roots.
There is only one root remedy, rad-
ical remedy It is to make Justice
free.
Recall a Judge If he Is out of tune
with right and life (letter than
that, retail a decision if It Is wrong
Rut. above all, recall the system of
paying lawyers for that system is
selling justi e, that is robbing the
1 poor; that is helping greed and pow-
er to oppress righteousness and help-
lessness
1 Society is formed to protect from
injustice ''en give up much of per-
sonal freedom that the thing called
justice may prevail equally. When
that is done right should be secured
to every member of society as a
matter of course. 1'he 'tw courts
should be as free as air.
But what happens? A group of
men within this large social circle
sa>. Justice has been fanned out to
us We have devised the rules of
the game we have made it a game
and the game will not lie played
unless we get our commissions."
In that game the man who can
play the longest, who tan pay the
biggest commissions he is the one
who is favored And so it mines to-
day that justbe rarely, if ever, pre-
vails in an American courtroom.
A has ll.ouo In property and B has
I Jl.ooo n property. No one invades
A s right to his property and so he
keepB it all But (' atteni' t< to de-
fraud B of his property B lias to
go to court to hold what is h h He
haB as much right to all o bis $l,onn
as A has to his Hut once in court
1 II does not get it Even hough he
has better luck, than frequently
1 falls out even though he uets
judgment tiulcklv (which is improb-
able I still he has to give up a part
i of his $1,000 to a lawyer as the pur-
chase price of justice.
l,et it be repeated, that is dead
wrong The citizen has given up his
natural rights" under the law ol
tooth and fang. R has given up his
indivldaul right to defend his own
by beating or killing C. But society
fails him In stead of glvinu him a
free public court to take the place
of tho stone man s club, it makes
him give up a part of his rightful
possessions as a fee for keeping what
| is left.
1 Judicial reforms are right. The
recall of decisions (which would af-
I feet only political and social condi-
tions) is right. But they will not
prevent the scales of justice dipping
to the side of wealth and power
Only the free administration of jus-
tice will hold the scales true. Kans-

Nearly Got the Camps
The hard rain and hail which vis-
ited the country west and south of
Guymon last week was far more dan-
gerous than many supposed. Oul i.t
the home of Mr. and Mrs. G. W.
Camp there came near being a loss
of two or three lives as a result ot
the storm. As told us by Jim Steph-
enson, the danger the Camps experi-
enced was something like this: The
Camp home is located in a low plan
in the valley of the Tepee creek and
just above where the house stands
a couple of larue draws or small
tanonB meet. From both of these
' anons came a solid head of water,
ice and weeds, several feet in height.
These bodies uniting swept every-
thing before them. The Camps saw
what was coming and tried to escape.
The big head of Ice, water and weeds
took the hen house, then the wagon
and finally Camp says he saw a har-
row coining. With them was car-
ried the w ire fence. They ran from the
! bouse and were caught in the wall
I of water. The wire entrapped them
I and dragged Camp under, likew ise
[ Mrs Camp. They were tangled up
in great shape and but for the as-
sistance of their daughter. Miss
Blanche, would very likely have
drowned. Miss Blanche pulled them
I both out from under the wire and
I water and dragged them to high
ground. She then hurried almost
four miles to the Kimannon home
and summoned assistance. Friends
took the Camps in iovvn and dressed
their wounds caused by the wire
fence The bands of all were badly
cut. Mrs Camp's and Miss Blanche's
in particular. It was a close call for
them and it was fortunate they had
a daughter of the nerve and strength
of Miss Blanche
Claimed He Made It Bain
By direction of C. W. Post, about
3.000 pounds of dynamite were tired
at Post. Texas. Saturday afternoo"
to produce rain, which was becom-
ing needed. The firing began about
two o'clock and continued abn'i.
three hours At the beginning or t!.o
experiment the w eather w as < lear
and warm, with a brisk wind from
' the southwest. At the close of the
tiring the wind had fallen slightly
and some clouds were gathering At
I ti:30 a brisk shower fell, at cotupan-
j led by hail. By nine o'clock the in-
dications were for more rain. Dal-
I las News. This is the same Post
1 who puts out the breakfast foods.
1 After the heavy downpour out in the
1 Camp vicinity Saturday it might be
| well to inquire whether one ('has.
Phillips was out in that part of the
i county touching off dynamite.
How to Fix the Roads
From the Geary Bulletin we

j has taken for building a lot of
! bad roads leading into that town.

Methodist Episcopal Chinch Notes
The services at this church will
commence at 8:30 for all evening
services during the summer. Re-
member the change next Sunday.
The pastor preached at Gordon
school house last Sunday. The peo-
ple there plan an aggressive cam-
paign during the coming year.
Each class in the Sunday s hool
is organizing for the new church
campaign. Miss Lela Reek's class
has chosen the name of "cheerful
wigglers." Well a wiggle is a sign
of life and If we mistake not these
girls will be much 'alive" in this
campaign.
Again we urge the support of the
meeting now in progress at the Rap-
tist church. \'r. Atwood is an ear-
nest speaker ami deserves your hei".
One half of the people of this
town are not in Sunday gthool. We
wonder who cares. Is it not time
lor a Sunday school campaign on
the part of all the churches. We be-
lieve it would pay to jo.11 bands and
devote thirty days to this special
work alone.
Some day the churches will forget
all the bickerings of minor things of
government and doctrine and as
mighty divisions of one arm will
move for the conq iest of the world.
And in that generation this world
will be evangelized.
Ex-Gov. Hoch of Kansas advo-
caes a village church for all small
towns, to be used by all denomina-
tions. And this to be the tenter o;
things that will minister to the so-
cial. intellectual and spiritual needs
of humanity. The plan may not be
practical just as advocated, but
there is something in it Think it
over.
Next Sunday the pastor will
preach both morning and evening.
Morning subject. "The Eternal Sov-
ereign;" Evening. "Rejecting the
Shed Blood." You will be welcome.
A. E HENRY,
Pastor.
At the Buplist Cliurtli
The evangelistic services at the
Baptist church are well attended
with marked Increase each evening.
A good interest has been manifested
from the beginning. Rev. J. E. At-
wood is preaching some very effect-
ive sermons. Services in the after-
noon at 2:30. The evening service
begins at 8:K,. The christians of
the town are earnestly requested to
co-operate with us in these services.

Advises Cantaloupe Planting
In conversation with C. W. Clay-
0111b yesterday we learned that 100
acres of cantaloupes will be planted
by farmers with whom he is in touch
this spring. At least 200 acres are
necessary to guarantee a tar for
shipment each day. Mr. Claycomb
is anxious to see the acreage run up
to that point where a car can be
handled regularly. This crop comes
along in August when the farmer
can handle it and almost always to
advantage We hope to hear of
many more farmers getting interest-
ed in the crop Those who plant
cantaloupes should attend to it that
only the best seed obtainable is pur-
chased. for the Rocky Ford melon
always brings the highest price on
the market
Mrs. Rradshaw Injured
Mrs A. C Rradahaw was seriously
Injured Tuesday by a horse knocking
her down Mrs Rradshaw was in
the wagon yard after a burket of

turned suddenly and knocked Mrs
Rradshaw down. Injuring her, al-
though not dangerously, she is rest-
ing well and will soon be entirely

Oscar Itigger for Sheriff
We are authorized to announce
Oscar R. Bigger as a candidate for
the nomination of sheriff of Texas
county, Oklahoma, subject to the ac-
tion of the republican party.
Mr. Bigger was born in middle
Tennessee in 1880, where he re-
ceived his early training and educa-
tion. in the lall of 1900 Mr. Bigger
immigrated to the Indian territory,
and accepted the position as police
officer for the Chit kasaw nation.
This position be filled with credit to
himself and satisfaction to the na-
tion for a period of five years, when
he resinned and CMN to Beaver
county and filed on a claim and has
proved it up.
Since coming to Texas county, Mr.
Bigger has served Texas county as
an efficient deputy sheriff under the
lat. Sheriff Walkup.
Mr. Bigger is making his race on
his merits, and submits the follow-
ing platform to the voters of Texas
county, Oklahoma:
1. He proposes to run the office
of sheriff of Texas county for the
salary ti e office pays, and he agrees
to pay the salaries of all deputies
of his office, out of his own pocket,
except that of jailer.
2. He agrees that Texas county
will not be put to any expense by bis
office in hiring automobiles, but
w hat automobiles are needed to dis-
charge the duties of his office will
be paid out of his own pocket.
3. He agrees to enforce the law,
without importing foreign deputies
to run down law breakers.
Mr. B gger is a large, strong man,
physically, and nature has fitted
him well for the duties of the office
to which he aspires. Reing a man
of good habits and being absolutely
fearless, he promises if nominated
and elected to enforce the law with-
out fear or favor and asks the sup-
port of the taxpayers of Texas
county.
I. L. Ennis is now located in the
rear of the City National bank, where
j he will be pleased to meet all old
1 customers and new patrons.
When you want that abstracting
done neatly, correctly and quickly.
take it to Hazelton & Langston in
the land office. tf.
The ladies of the New Century
I dub gave a very pleasant entertain-
l ment in the rooms of the library
over the First National hank Tues-
j day ni','ht. Much pleasure resulted
I from the gathering. A spelling
I match, writing rhymes for your
names and eating lunches from May
baskets were features of the even-
ing's enjoyment.
We don't know how the democ-
racy of Texas county feels about it
on the whole, but we cannot under-
stand how good democrats can sup-
port a man of the character of C.
N. Haskell. If we must have demo-
cratic senators, the Herald knows
of no one it would sooner see rep-
resent us than the talented Owen,
hut to send a man like Haskell to
that body would not only be a mis-
fortune to the state but a national
calamity.

"A Man"
Thirty years ago the whole West-

; Island railroad A Man" helped
j the road to sell millions of tickets.
] Old timesr and not so very old,
J either—every day refer to "a man"
when they buy Rock Island tickets,
j Recognition of the pulling qualities
I of the old advertisement has caused
| its revival by the railroad. In The
j Star this morning "a man" directed
the reader's attention to the terri-
tory served hy the Rock Uland.
