naught is left to do but follow in the
footsteps mapped out for every Re-

The Journal lias no objections to the
Republican editors of the county lay-
ing aside their political manhood for
tiie good of the party, but it does look
so strange to us that Palmer, Loomis,
Williams, Beck, Bradlield, Jones and
rI liomas should knuckle, at one and
thesame time, to the Republican
bosses who have domineered tiie Re-
publican party in Grant county since
its first settlement. No doubt it is
humiliating to Palmer and Thomas,
at least, to be deprived of the right
of free speech through tlie columns
of their papers, but tiie bosses have
made the order and these men have
bowed to the will of thtir masters
The Journal never thought it of eith-
er of them.
when they commenced to talk for pub
lication and have kept it up, showing
plainly tiiat their purpose is to try to
make all the personal politics out of
it that they possibly can. Such a
course shows very poor leadership.and
men who indulge in it are injudicious
and have more interest in personal
achievement than in party-success.”
Thus we see that the ball has start-
ed rolling for a big figjit. right in the
very heart of tiie Republican party
in Oklahoma, and there is no telling
where it will end. Ferguson and his
appointees are tiie under dogs now
and McGuire and Cade are on top. but
it is no telling how long they win be
able to hold their position. Tlie
whole affair goes to prove that there
is a screw loose somewhere, and
tiiat neither one of these factions are
worthy to be entrusted with tiie af-
fairs of Oklahoma, neither at present
Ror when tiie territory becomes a
state.

ANOTHER FINE RAIN.
Another tine lain, general in ap-
pearance, set in Thursday morning
and is still falling as we go to press
Thursday afternoon. Tiie growing
wheat is already fine as silk, and all
look forward to a “bumper” crop next
spring.___
—Ned Pedigo has gotten out a
‘phunny” book entitled, “Foot-light
Reflections, or With a Bum Show Out
West,” which is now ready for tlie
public. Most people here will remem-
ber Mr. Pedigo’s numerous entertain-
ments on the stage in Manchester,
and without having seen the new
book as yet, we are quite sureacopy
of it will cure the worst case of
1,‘blues" in this part of the country.
Ned is full of wit and good humor,
and these interesting qualities will
crop out in his book from beginning
to end. Send 25 cents to Ned Pedigo,
Preston, Kansas, and lie will send you
copy, post-paid.
THE DIFFERENCE.
There is a difference in flour, but
many people do not know why it is.
Perhaps you have been using a brand
of flour that contains 85 per cent of
the whole wheat. When you buy
“Globe” flour you get only 80 per cent
of tiie whole wheat, and that's why
“Globe” is easier worked and makes
whiter, lighter and better bread than
other brands. Tiie next time you
want flour,ask your dealer for “Globe. ”
Every sack warranted: and when you
once try it, you will have no other.
