IF you are selling cream or making butter and have
no separator or are using an inferior machine, you are
wasting cream every day you delay the purchase of
a De Laval.
There can only be two real reasons why you should
put off buying a De Laval; either you do not really
appreciate how great your loss in dollars and cents
actually is or else you do not believe
the De Laval Cream Separator will
make the saving we claim for it.
To both of these objections we
answer: “Let us set up a machine
for you on your place and see for
yourself what the De Laval will do.”
You have nothing to hazard and
we know from many similar ex-
periences that you have everything
to gain.
When will you be ready to let us “show you”?

and that only? We are highly in
favor of good schools, but can see
little benefit to be derited from
having some sort of state school
in every third county across the
state. Many of these schools are
maintained at a cost of hundreds of
thousands of dollars annually, and
have less than twenty students
from outside the county in which
they are located. Sooner or later
these useless luxuries will be
abolished and township high
schools will replace them, as they
should. But speaking of the fund,
for our part we would just as lief
see the money stolen for the pur-
pose of building a state capitol of
which every citizen of the state
can be proud, as to see it stolen by
a coterie of legislators who come
from the districts favored by the
location of state institutions of
learning.

A Bill has passed the lower
house of the Oklahoma legislature
which is known as the poll tax bill.
It provides that a tax of $1.50 be
levied against all male citizens be-
tween the ages of 21 and 60 years,
and provides that no person may
vote unless be has a poll tax receipt
This bill may not pass the senate,
or may have already passed that
body. So far as the writer is con-,
cerned. it doesn't matter. We be
lieve in abiding by the laws of the
state when they are laws, but this
will not be a law. Some wise
man Blaekstone, perhaps—says
that a law is a command given by
a person or an organization that
has the power to enforce the
command. The state of Okla-
homa cannot enforce a n y
such law as this, and when the
time comes to vote, I for one, in-
tend to vote, and I shall never pay
any poll tax, either. My road tax
I pay, as I do other taxes, but
when the state of Oklahoma tells
me that I must pay SI.50 for the
privilege of voting, right there is
where somebody will get into
trouble. The constitution of the
United States says that “the right
to vote shall never be taxed,” and
l believe that the old constitution
still takes precedence, even over
the mullet-headed politicians from
fa eastern part of this state.
Another bill passed the house,
but was killed in the senate, which
is about as sensible as the poll tax
bill. It provided that no person
should be permitted to carry file
arms under any circumstances, ex-
cept as a peace officer. Notwith-
standing the federal constitution
says that “the right to bear arms
shall never be abridged.” This
right might be, and very properly
is regulated, but to say that no
private citizen may carry arms un-
der any circumstances is to say
something that won’t stick.
The most brutal, cowardly
assassination recorded in recent
years was the murder of Madero
and Saurez last Sunday. Pretend-
ing to be taking them to a prison
where they would be safe from the
violence of the gathering mob, the
cohorts of the arch traitor, Huerta,
shot the men to death, and then
then the provisional president
calmly announced to the world
that he was very sorry his victim
had been victimized. We have
not been in sympathy with the
| Madero regime, but we do not be-
lieve in introducing the practices of
I the old Inquisition into modern
government. The lowest criminal
is entitled to a fair trial. But
those red-handed plotters who be-
trayed and murdered the man who
had made them high officers in
his army, didn’t want fairness, be-
cause that meant their exposure to
the world. All the world hates a
traitor, no matter how much we
may love the treason, and those
who have been shocked by the
murder of the Madero family would
hardly experience an extra heart
beat to learn that Blauquet and
In our issue of February 14th
was a communication from L.
Feely, on the subject of the state
loan for silos: on the same page we
made reply to Mr. Feely’s article,
and to some of the statements
made in that reply Mr. Feely has
taken exception. One particularly
offensive paragraph was the one in
which we stated that he did not
understand the difference between
a news item and and an editorial
comment. He thinks this implies
ignorance on his part; but suih
is not the case. A man may be
ever so enlightened, and not know
all about the newspaper business.
A newspaper man knows no com-
ment except editorial comment, as
concerning newspaper work. If we
speak of a comment in some paper,
vve mean the views of the editor of
that paper. When w e clip a
story from another paper, if it is
run in that paper as a news story,
we do not consider any part of it
as "comment,” no matter how
much the story may go into detail
Mr. Feely, in writing of the refer-
ence to the Smith bill, spoke of it
as comments on the bill, and while
he did not say that they were
editorial comments, we, knowing
no other kind, misunderstood him
to that extent. Our reply was
made to make our position clear to
the readers of the Journal and
with no intention or thought of
offending Mr. Feely.

What is meant by certain
papers when they claim that the
public buildings lands are to be
stolen for the purpose of erecting a
state capitol? These papers, in
' in their wildest claims, only say
• that the lands are to be mortgaged
‘for the purpose of raising money to
| build the capitol. That isn’t steal-
ing them, is it? If it is there is
| lots of stolen property in Grant
I county', and in every other county
j all over the country, because there
is lots of
What are
—Some weather we have been hav-
ing here since our last report, which
merely stated that the weather had
taken a sudden flop. It has been
Bopping all the week, clear and cold
one day, cloudy and warm the next,
then reverse thiLgs and snow and
rain by spells. A large amount of
moisture has fallen, and practically
every bit of it went Into the ground,
or will as soon as It can get there.
The condition of the roads the past
few days has been deplorable, and as
we write this (Thurabay) the mud is
frozen just as it was left by the
traffic Wednesday night, making it
almost impossible to drive over the
roads at all with any kind of load
Some of our people are kicking about
this, but that is just because It has
been so nice and dry here for three
or four years that they do not like to
s e mud in the roads and fields How-
ever, the farmer who has tried two or
three times to substitute dust for
mud In t he growing of a wheat crop,
welcomes the conditions which now
prevail, and says that he can put up
with any thing that is as good for the
wheat as the weather we are having
this week.
—Anthony has had some very flne
shows this winter; in fact, about eight
of their shows were the same ones
that played the larger cities, like Den-
ver, Kansas City, Chicago, etc. The
nex- attraction to play Anthony will
be “Kindling,” with Miss Sarah Pad-
den in the lead. From reports in the
theatrical papers we find that Miss
Padden played Denver last week and
the week of March 9th will play Kan-
sas City. Anthony Is again fortunate
and will have Miss Padden In “Kind-
ling” on Friday, March 6th. We
