Farmers, you can do more good
for yourselves and your country by
working in yonr fields Saturday
than by going to the democratic
primaries.
Editor Echols demonstrated
last Saturday that he is a danger
ous fellow to match a fight with
He can knock a man down and
never touch him.
There are seven candidates for
commissioner from the west dis
trict, on the democratic primary
ticket, and each one has different
ideas as to how the affairs of the
county should be managed.
The mental agonies and physical
hardships that the poor suffering
democratic candidates have endur
ed during the past three months
will probably all be over by
least next Monday night.
The right thing for the demo-
crats of this commissioner district
to do on Saturday is to down
Briggs and nominate E. C. Moore
for commissioner. But democrats
seldom do the right thing in poli-
tics.
The Dalhart Texan, of April
21, contained thirty-three columns
of delinquent tax list and lands
sold by the'state for taxes in Dal-
lam county. Wonder how many
of those victims were former Greer
county citizens who fled from Ok-
lahoma to Texas to escape high
taxes?
Thk democrat* of Logan county
at their convention last Saturday
did, what democratic conventions
usually do. the »illy thing when
the wine thing would have »ervcd
both their pur|>o»c and the intere»t
of tbe people of Oklahoma at large
better. They condemned tbe
Hamilton statehood bill, which
practically provide* for just what
tbe democrat* of Oklahoma were
contending for two year* ago—
single statehood—and say in ef-
fect that it would be better for
statehood to be postpoued indefin-
itely than for the Hamilton bill to
become a law. This move was
made to get in line with the demo-
crats in Washingtou but it is en-
tirely out of line with the wishes
of tbe masses of the people of Ok-
lahoma who want statehood and
are willing to take almost any kind
they can get.

Through the efforts of Oklaho-

S. McGuire, Wm. Wood, of Dry-
den, has been allowed an increase
of pension to the rate of $12 per

There are quite a number more
pensioners in Greer county now
than there were two years ago.
The Japs are showing their su-
periority over the Russians on land
as well as 011 the sea. The Jap-
anese have crossed the Yalu river
and are gradually forcing back the
Russian army from their fortified
positions. It is a case of brute
strength on the part of the Rus-
sians as against superior sagacity
and the true spirit of patriotism on
the part of the Japs. Russia may
well heed the prophecy which said,
"beware of the yellow peril."

Marriage Licenses.
The following marriage licenses have been is
sued during the past week:
The Kingdom ol Oreer.
In the last days of King Teddy's
reign in the land it began'to grow-
much dry in the Kingdom of Greer,
which is ruled over by Nelson
who's surname is Jasper, and the
people were sore afraid insomuch
as many packed their caravans and
left for greener fields. But the old
prophets, Wilson, who's surname
is Ashly and Herd, who's surname
is Joseph, told all the people round
about Mangum to have no fear;
and according to their sayings, at
first it began to shower about in
spots, but on the second day of the
fifth month in the evening about
the twelfth hour it began to rain,
and all the country round about
Mangum even unto the heathen
lands at Leger and Granite it did
much rain; even so that each and
all were satisfied beyond measure.
And, lo and behold! on the morn-
ing of the second and fourth there
came from the forewinds of Nel-
son's kingdom unto Mangum and
drove their caravans nigh up to
Shortie's store, there they did buy
of Boka and Full Cream flour,
Chase & Sanborn coffee, Heinz 57
varieties and started on their re-
turn rejoicing. And still they
came even those which had never
been in Shortie's store before and
so well pleased were they at what
they saw and at the prices given
them on bacon, flour, lard, dried
fruits of all kinds, the best assort-
ed lot of chopping hoes ever seen
in any place, rope galore, tinware,
knives and forks, pocket knives,
in fact everything needed to make
you happy except dry goods and
drugs. Also barbed wire, poultry
netting, and screen wire to put
over your windows to keep the hail
from breaking them.
You candidates who wish to see
your friends just stand around
Shortie's front door and you will
have a good opportunity to shake
their horney hands. On the quiet
people, last week I heard a fellow
say Nelson would be elected sure,
and not ten minutes after another
man said he was crazy and didn't
know, for he knew Bragg would
be. One fellow says Cole will get
to jingle our cash another time and
another says Echols will. Now
you know I sorter wanted to vote
