FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1914,
Thr slogan “Buy a bale of cot
ton;” is being shouted from one
side of the state to the other. Many
large firms in the cities are buying
a bale for each employe they have.
This cotton will be held off the
market till commercial conditions
shall become normal. The old
world fcwar has raised the prices
‘cereals and has lowered it on cot-
ton till it is way below the cost of
production. Help for the cotton
farmer will not soon be forgotten
neither in this state nor in the
whole south.
What a pity that something of
this kind could not have been done
for the farmers in kansas in 1889
when millions of bushels of corn
were sold at twelve and thirteen
cents per bushel in November and
December, and the following April
corn at the same primary market
was fifty and fifty-five cents per
bushel, but the bulk of the crop
was sold at the first named figures.
This office is kept pretty busy
now getting out job work. Somt
that was contracted some six week
ago is now done at a loss because
of the sharp advance in stock of all
kinds. Prices of job work will
have to be advanced soon.

John Fields, knows how to farm
I so he says, and goes further and
says what reforms he will give the
people of this state should he be
elected governor. In the first place
John stands no show of ever being
elected, in the next term he would
have less than a dozen of his faith in
either branch of the legislature and
they will have very little to do to-
wards any of the laws that ulti-
mately be spread on the Statutes
of this state. John is a freak, and
Oklahoma is fast going out of the
freak business. Any blamed fool
can say what he would do Ect.
Ect. but republican “jawsmiths”
are only talking to hear their heads
rattle.

One of the pet schemes of Judge
R. L. Williams, democratic candi-
date for governor, is to make it ab-
solutely impossible for any future
administration to build up a poli-
tical machine. In line with this
theory, he caused to be introduced
and adopted by the Democratic
State Convention the following
plank, which crystalized into law
will demolish every political ma-
chine and make it impossible to
build another.
MACHINE POLITICS
We favor the submission of
constitutional amendments at the
Hirst opportunity providing that no
state official while holding such of-
fice shall be a candidate for any
other office, excepting to succeed
himself when eligible, and that no
federal office holder, member of
congress, or of the United States
Senate, shall be a candidate for
any such office during his term of
office. The Governor of the state
shall not be a candidate for a seat
in the United States senate during
his term of office, or within one
year after the expiration thereof—
that a member of the legislature
may not become a candidate for a
seat in the passage of a congresion-
al appointment a?t by the legisla
tive body of which he is a memb-
er”.

When wheat commenced to re-1
treat along with the German army,
in price the farmers stopped hauling
The highest price given here was
slightly above a dollar and it is now
down to around eighty-five cents.
As the Germans made a ‘decided
stand the first of the week, we ex-
pect to see wheat go up again.
The editor of the Journal, does
not believe in waiting till a man has
been dead a long time to hand him
or his memory a boquet— in other
words we believe aman should heap
predated in this world while he
may enjoy some of the nice things
that should be handed to him. For
this reason, we shall print several
poems from the pan of the greatest
poet in the southwest—John York,
of Manchester, whose every thought
is for the true betterment of man-
kind.

John Fields, republican candi-
date for governor, is trying to pre-
judice the farmers of the state,
against the democratic party, and
one of his favorite modes is to
charge that republican farmers
have received no favors through
the school land department. While
making a speech at Ada lately,
Fields said: “Are there any of you
farmers who have received a loan
from the school land department?”
And then, before anyone had an
opportunity to answer, John con-
tinued: “No, of course, there is
not: not a one of you ever received
a loan. Those fellows don’t want
you to have the money; they want
to keep it for the banks to specu-
late upon.” After Fields had fin-
ished his address, Senator Roddy,
who was present and who heard
the unfair statement, mounted the
platform and said; “I do not want
1 to make a speech, but I do want to
correct a false impression left by
Mr. Helds.” He then askad a
farmer present if he had not re-
cei\ed a school land loan. The
farmer said “Yes Sir.” In quick
I succession he asked five more farm-
ers whom he personally knew and
each of them answered that he had
received a school loan. Roddy then
asked all other farmers to hold up
their hands, and about one dozen
more farmers held up their hands
| and acknowledged that they were
the recipients of a loan from the
school land department. This story
serves to show the unfair methods
used by Fields in order to create
I false impressions.
The Renfrow Tribune says:
Grant County shouldn’t miss the
opportunity to hand the state legis-
lature a Lemon again this fall.
Jack Lemon worked hard in the in-
terest of all the people, last term,
and deserves to be sent back.”
Thanks. Browning; now that
you have deserted by all the rest,
why not jump in and support the
rest of the democratic ticket.
We looked in on the Socialist
Meeting at the courthouse for a few
minutes last Saturday. They were
few in numbers but appeared very
earnest. We missed the famaliar
faces of some of the old guard, but
were informed that they were to
busy preparing wheat ground to
stop for anything.

1 here is considerable complaint
of wells failing in parts of the coun-
ty, this was the case on the farm of
A. Slaughter, but the judicious use
of a couple sticks of dynamite and
the hauling out a couple feet of the
loosend rock and they had plenty
of water for their large bunch of
cattle. Wre doubt not that the de-
pening a couple or three feet of
many of the wells would have the
same effect. Try it.
