Oklahoma Is Discovered.
Oklahoma is just being discovered
by a lot of people. One of the greatest
advertising agencies in America has
within a fortnight come alive, as it
were, to the importance of Oklahoma
as a merchandising field for national
advertisers. The government's crop
reports, and other inrtutsrial statistics,
awakened this firm. It sent its bright
young men out, and they discovered
the state. The result is this firm
is, to use the vernacular, playing Okla-
homa both ways to win.
Here are some figures: The dally
oil production of Oklahoma at the
present time is approximately 290,000
barrels. The prevailing price at the
moment (though it may be higher to-
morrow, and is certain fo De higher
before another twelve months; pos-
sibly double the price of today), is
75 cents a barrel, or a total daily in-
come from oil of $217,500, which
foots about $79,000,000 for the year.
The ten-year average for .agricul-
tural products in Oklahoma is about
$120,000,000 per annum. This year ag-
ricultural products will far exceed
this. The federal government credits
the state with a large increase in yield
of all of the products of the farm,
and the prevailing market quotations
are much above the ten-year average.
A conservative estimate, therefore, of
the total valuation of farm products
for the year 1915 would be about
$150,000,000.
The market value of the coal out-
put for the year will total in round
numbers $10,000,000.
Reduces Childrens Penalty.
An order was issued by the corpor-
ation commission prohibiting railroads
operating in the state from charging
a penalty of more than one half cent
per mile for children who board pas-
senger trains without purchasing tick-
ets at stations.
Some time ago the commission is-
sued au order revoking the so-called
"show ticket” rule of the carriers,
which required passengers to show
their tickets before boarding a train
and at the same time gave the roads
permission to charge a penalty of 1
cent a mile from the point of boarding
the train to destination in all cases
where the passenger failed to supply
himself with a ticket.
Under this ruling the carriers have
been charging a penalty of 1 cent on
children who ride at half fare. The
order of the commission directs that
the former ruling of the commission
shall be construed to mean that the
penalty tor children riding on half
fare shall be only one-half cant per
mile.
Must Sat Out Counts In <1,000 a Day.
In a ruling made by Judge John W.
Hayson in the Oklahoma county dis-
trict court it was held that where
judgment Is asked for at the rate of
$1,000 a day for the renting of prop-
erty wherein an illegal business is
carried on, It is the duty of the county
attorney to make a separate count in
the petition for eacn violation.
Tlie question came up in the P. M.
Holmes case. Holmes having been sued
by the county attorney for $300,000,
as tbe owner of a building at the rear
of the Lee-Huckins hotel where it
was claimed that an unlawful business
was in progress for 300 days, from
June 6, 1914, to April 6 1915.
Before the case can go to trial un-
der Judge Hayson’s decision it will
be necessary for the county attorney’s
office to set out 300 separate and dis-
tinct counts in the bill.
No Open Season For Doves.
There is no open season in Okla-
homa for the killing of any kind of
doves, according to a ruling of the
attorney general and which has been
concurred in by State Game and Fish
Warden John Chenoweth. During the
past few weeks numerous inquiries
have reached the department concern-
ing the season on doves. “This depart-
ment has had numerous inquiries as
to the killing of doves,” said Mr. Chen-
oweth. "We have advised each and
all calls there was no open season on
doves and In each Instance tried to
provide the inquiring one with a copy
of the state game laws, but this did
not satisfy all and we still had many
requests pleading with us to aBk for
an opinion from the attorney general
and we have an opinion from the at-
torney general's office which we think
is tufficient."

Acton, Mass.—With a shock that
was left within a radius of fort)
miles the glazing mill of the American
Powder Co., which, since the outbreak
of the European war, has been work
(ng to its capacity, blew up. So far ai
known nobody was killed.
The police of this town and May-
nard expressed the belief that the ex-
plosion had been caused with lnteni
to cripple the plant.
An official of the company pointed
out that the glazing mill, where thi
powder enters upon Its lest stages oi
manufacture, is the only part of the
plant whose loss at this time would
stop the output. Provision is madt

What It Means to Farmers.
The beauties of free trade are well
illustrated by the present meat sup-
ply and prices. During the ten
months preceding May 1 the imports
of meat and dairy products into the
United States were three times as
great as in a like period two years
ago. This means that the American
farmer has been deprived of his home
market to the extent of more than
$25,000,000, and the consumer has paid
not a cent less than he would have
paid if the American farmer had been
allowed to supply his home product.
It means also that the clothing manu-
facturer, the furniture man and other
business men have been deprived of
the farm trade to practically the ex-
tent of this $26,000,000; for bad the
farmer received the money he would
have spent It at home. It all means
simply that Argentine farmers and
manufacturers are using this <25,OOO.-
OOO that otherwise we should have-
been enjoying In the United States.
The farmer Is surely not the man who
la benefited by free trade.—Dover

Important National Gathering.
That the Republican National Con-
vention of 1916 will be the most inter-
esting national gathering of the G. O.
P. within a half century, wes the be-
lief expressed by James B. Reynolds,
secretary of the Republican National
Committee, during a conference with
former Collector William P. Stone.
Mr. Reynolds came to Baltimore and
had luncheon with Mr. Stone, who is
sergeant-at-arms of the Republican Na-
tional Committee. His visit here fol-
lowed a conference he held in New
York recently with Chairman Hlllee
and other officials of tue committee,
at which preliminary plans were die-,
cussed for the G. O. I*, gathering next
year, which many persona believe wilt
nominate the next president of the
United States.—Baltimore Americas.

Tariff In Polities.
So long as public opinion is deeply
and widely divided on the issue of
pnotectlon, so long that issue must be
tn politics. Men who believe a low
tariff Is ruinous to the country are
not going to elect Congressmen who
wilt enact that sort of a tariff. Men
who believe the tariff to n tax on con-
sumption several times as large as the
revenue secured by the government,
and ought tn the Interest of the whole
cduntry to be me low ns revenue con-
siderations permit, cannot be expected
to vote for such candidates for Con-
gress as tho American Economist
woqld approve.
And so the tariff to. In politics, and
tt Is likely to remain In politics.—Ex-
