The Kumrid. an anti-so< ialist pub-
lication at Okemah, reached us this
week. The Kumrid Is right there
when it comes to s< rapping th * so-
soclallstc doctrine, but as it is but
Vol 1. No. 3. it iH pretty early in
the game to predict how long .lie
paper will weather the financial Bide
of the gale.
We hereby serve notice on our
friend Heibert of the Hooker Ad-
vance that we expect to cut his
paper off our exchange list unless
lie 11uits using some of those super-
lath es of questionable origin We

ing a library of Grecian mythology

never been on the side of decency,
law and order, and are still in secret
sympathy with that sort of work,
want to get rid of him in order to
more easily ply their crooked meth- j
ods. is no reason why Chenauit
should be turned down. Dave is a
clean man, a good man and an hon-
est and good official. The lovers of j
law and order ami public decency in
Texas tounty could not make a more
deplorable error than to fall to sup- j
port him. This paper knowB Dave
Chenauit will and does do the right
thing and he is deserving of the
support of every republican in Texas j
county.
The Heaver Herald Is now a four-
page. all home print paper. The
papers all over the country are cut-
ting down their sizes to conform to
the business they receive. That is
business pure and simple If a town |
can't afford a first class paper It
ought to have a second class or what-
ever ( lass it tan sport. Hut a town
should not forget that its best asset
Is a wide-awake, up-to-date news-
paper. People know Kansas City by
the Star. What your paper Is that
Is your town, every time.
We often wonder whether a Chris-
tian politician who professes he will
do so much for Texas county, If nom-
inated and elected, were really In
earnest if he wouldn't practice a lit
tie of that doctrine in everyday life
before he asked for office. Wouldn't
that kind of a man he so strong on
the side of right that there would be
no speculation as to hla whereabouts
by either friends or enemies? And
isn't it reasonable to presume by
all laws of reasoning that a man who
Is always assisting in hindering the
cause of justice by using his influ-
ence and ability In an effort to
thwart law and falrneBs, Is at heart
no better than the cause he repre-
Bents?
Up In Chicago where the weather
is some hotter than here, it might
be well to mention that the weather
Is not the only hot thing The big
steam roller of the party organiza-
tion has been working for some time
and yesterday was the date set for
nominating the republican candidate
for president The national commit-
tee seated practic ally every Taft con-
testing delegation, even stewing two
from California where the s'ate gave
T R. 77,000 majority, s«ined two in
Oklahoma from the T i> t district
where the Roosevelt fon es outnum-
bered the Taft men two to one, and
gave Texas to Taft when Roosevelt
fairly won that state It may be
politics to do all tMs for the presi-
dent of the I'nlted States, hut it lacks
considerable of being good, sound
sense. The republicans who elect
their president want T. R. and not
Taft, as has been proven and the ac-
tions of the committee In running
rough shod over the wishes of the
people will certainly be heard from
la,ter on. The people are getting next
their "misrepresentattves" and hand
It to them at the first chance. There
Is but one commendable thing about
that body's actions it did Its work
well anil will leave a monumental
Job of thievery to stand as the last
effort it will ever bequeath to the
public, for those fellows are now

The Children's Day exercises Sun-

appreciative audience All parts

happening unexpectedly that were
amusing and heipful to keep ea< h

much credit can't be given those who
so faithfully worked in the training
and preparation of the program.
We are glad to note the Increased

Thursday to look around for some
clew as to the burglarizing of a. safe
in the office of the Tyrone Mercan
tile company. Sheriff Chenauit in
forms us there was no clue whatever
as to the burglars who made their
getaway in good shape. They used
some high explosive for breaking
open the sale, blowing the door out
with ease. It is thought the work
v as that of outsiders who made their
escape on horseback after doing their
work. Something liko $30.00 wa*
recured by the robb?rs.

requested us to peel the epidermis

our subscriber is. He claims he
doesn't get his paper until late in |
the week, never has time really to
read it until Sunday, but his neigh-1
bor always had it borrowed before t
that day. We do not know what to J
say that would suggest to some peo- j
pie they should pay for a paper
themselves than to give this man's
view of it. Neighbors who borrow
a paper, particularly when they can
well afford to have the paper them-
selves. should consider this subscrib-
er's feelings.

In Dollars anil Cents
When a man enjoys a brisk walk
to his office or shop in the morning
after a hearty meal and retuniB
home later with the same buoyant
step and an appetite for everything
on the bill of fare from soup to nuts,
he has little occasion to think of the
wealth he possesses in his good
health, but it has been set down in
dollars and cents although there is
some doubt about the figures being
as high as they should be. Dr.
Charles A. L. Reed has made the es-
timate in which he shows the cost of
the loss of health not only to the In-
dividual, but to the community.
"Suppose," he says, "a man works
300 days in a year, at $1.25 a day,
and that his money thus earned.
$375 a year, represents 5 per cent, on
his capital, which on that basis would
amount to $7,500; then multiply
this by 1(0,090 (Of tuberculosis, 10,-
000 for typhoid, and so on through
the list which foots up to a quarter
of a million and add it all together,
and you will only have begun. You
are to add to this the loss of produc-
tive energy of something like 700,000
constantly ill for a whole year with
tuberculosis, and nearly half that
number ill for 60 days with typhoid,
and so on through the list, at $1.25
a day for each one. Then, ignoring
the fact that the lives of many are
worth thousands and hundreds of
thousands of dollars, exclude the
non-producers—women, children, de-
two; then still to be on the safe
side, divide the result again by two,
and the remaining figure, if trans-
lated into coin of the realm and
placed in our national treasury,
would not only pay for a properly
equipped national department of pub-
lic health, hut in addition would pay
the current expenses of the army
and navy, duplicate our armament on
the seas, fortify our coasts, deepen \
our inland waterways, and in ten
years would pay for the Panama
canal and wipe out our national
debt."

Many Animals Have a Sweet Tooth
Everybody knows that foxes are
fond of rabbits and hens; but in
spite of Esop's fable we forget that
they have what is called a "sweet ^
tooth," and frequently eat ripe fruit.
The coyotes of Point Loma, which
are first cousins of the foxes, often
devour two or three watermelons in
one night. They hlte them open
and relieve their thirst, as well as
satisfying their love for sweet things-
They will also eat the "prickly
pears" which grow on the wild cacti,
and are even suspected of robbing
big fruit trees.
There are lions living In a very
dry part of Africa which quench
their thirst on small melons which
grow wild there.
Bears also are fond of fruit and
eat quantities of berries in the au-
tumn. Their "sweet tooth" leads
them to attack beehives, too, and
they do not suffer bo much as you
might think, as their thick fur pro- V,
tects them from the angry bees.—
