Bad in Other States.
A certain newspaper in Grant
county has made and is still mak-
ing great efforts to show that
Grant county is bankrupt, that the
state is in the hands of a band of
thieves, that nobody is honest but
the editor of i hat paper and
the editor of the Oklahoma Econo-
mist, and that everything is going
to the dickens just as fast us a
bunch of meas'ey Democrats can
send it there. From the following
clipping, it would seem that there
is something wrong in other states
and states that are not Democratic
by several votes. Will the paper
in question please explain how-
such a condition as here set forth
can possibly exist in a Republican
state.
“It seems that Gov. Stubbs will
have some explaining to do before
the fall campaign is completed.
The revenues for the current bien-
ium are far below the state ex-
penses. Many of the appropriates
made by the last legislature have
been ignored and the money for
current expenses is nearly gone. 11
is practically certain that Stubbs
will go out of office with the state
treasury about three-fourths of a
million dollars in debt for the
ordinary running expenses.
W. E. Davis, the state auditor,
has been making a careful estimate
and gives out facts concerning the
financial condition of the state. He
says thatthe total tax for 1911 was
$3 , 200,uOO and of that amount
nearly $2,000,000, besides large
sums of collected fees, having been
expended during the first five
months. So that by the time
October arrives the state will be
stamping warrants, “Not paid for
the lack of funds. It may be
possible Stubbs can stave that one
bad sentence off until after the
election. The legislature it will be
remembered, directed the establish-
ment of a new hospital for the in-
sane at a cost of $100,000, a
tudercular sanitarium to cost $50,-
000 and a state school of mines to
cost $25,000. The fact that these
institutions have not been erected
and the money spent may enable
Stubbs to keep up the credit until
after the election is over.—Mc-
Pherson Opinion.

Washington Notes. •
Democratic Senators and mem-
bers of the house of representatives
are unanimous in declaring that
every day brings stronger and
stronger assurances that the Demo-
crats, will not only elect a presi-
dent this fall but will sweep the
country from ocean to ocean. The
fight net ween president Taft and
ex-president Roosevelt has gone so
far, and the bitterness between the
two has become so intense, that
there is no possibility of healing
the deep and painful wonds that
they have inflicted on each other.
It is now well known that Roose-
velt’s backer in this fight for the
Republican nomination, is nothing
less than the great “Steel Trust”
which is a more powerful organiza-
tion than the Standard Oil. They
are paying Roosevelt’s bills, paying
postage on his literature, hiring
special cars and automobiles and
doing everything that money can
do to insure h i s nomination.
Roosevelt himself is endeavoring to
create the impression that his fight
against Taft is the result of popu-
lar demand on the part of the Re-
publican voters, for his nomina-
tion, but that popular demand is
created entirely by the enormous
corruption fund of millions whi?b
the steel trust and harvester trusts
are furnishing. Roosevelt not only
left these two great trusts un-
harmed when he prosecuted the
other trusts but he actually helped
the steel trust to swallow its own
rival and competitor. The Ten-
nesseeCoul and Iron Co.,and Roose-
velt actually promised the trust
that he would not interier with the
consolidation which made the steel
trust the most powerful corpora-
tion this country has ever pro-
duced.
It seems impossible to ascertain
at what rate congress will adjourn.
A good many senators and repres-
entatives believe that they will get
away before the National conven-
tion meet in June, while there are
others who believe that congress
will be in session late in the
summer and possibly into the early
fall.
—The wrestling match between
Walter Riue of Nash arid Link Wil-
liams of this place which was to have
taken place Wednesday night, was
posponed because of the rain. The
match will be pulled oil at Nash next
Tuesday.

think so. I got a vocuum cleaner

—Another good rain Wednesday
night has given the growing crops a
big boost. Prospects grow better day
by day.
—The “Men’s Forward Movement”
meeting held at t he opera house last
Sunday night was well attended and
much enthusiasm was manifested. A
large number of religions men came
up from Medford and helped conduct
the meeting. Another meeting will
be held next Sunday night at which
time an organization will be perfect-
ed. Everybody who can should come
out, as there can be no doubt that
much good will result to the town and
to the people as individuals from this
great religious wave which is sweep-
ing over the country.
—The home on a farm is the most
eujoyable, most desirable, and most
comfortable and contented place to
live. Better Farming with Modern
Implements makes the farm attrac-
tive to tiie young folks. Modern Im-
j piemen,s these days help wonderfully
j to make the work easy and farm life
particularly attractive to everyone.

way the same as any business is con-
ducted.

The sensation of the day at
Manchester is the great new up-
to-date automobile, REO THE
FIFTH, which arrived at Man-
chester and from now on I will
have these cars in stock here
ready for your personal inspec-
tion and immediate delivery to
purchasers. At present I shall
receive but one car at a time, but
will replace it within 24 hours
after each sale, provided, ot
course, that the factory can keep
these cars in stock at Wichita.
These cars are meeting with
ready sale wherever exhibited, so
that the man who wants one of
them had better make his wants
known as early as possible for
him to do so,
I believe I am safe in saying
that every business man at Man-
chester and every farmer who has
given this car close examination
and inspection, have openly ex-
pressed themselves in saying it is
the finest thing they have yet
seen in the automobile line. I
could write a whole page of com-
plimentary facts concerning the
mechanism of this great car, but
what's the use; it would tire you
to read it, and besides to see for
yourself and make a close per-
sonal inspection would suit both
you and I the better.
In addition to the many other
features concerning this car which
takes so well with all who have
seen it, is the elimination of brass
in trimmings. Brass is entirely
out of date, and the expression of
all is. ’’Away with the brass
trimmed car," or words to that
effect. I abhor brass for this use,
but if I were buying a thousand
cars I would take every one of
them with brass trimming iu pre-
ference to a single one of them
with ball bearings. The only
bearing for an automobile today is
Timken rollers. I have a n
agency contracted for the sale of
this car in Harper county. Kansas,
a part of Alfalta county and
nearly all of Grant county. Okla.
If you are in the market, write or
phone me. or come to Manchester
and see.

This part of the country has had
two nice rains the past few days,
one last Friday and another Tues-
day morning, which make things
look fine.
Wheat is looking fine. It is just
nmv heading out, which means that
harvest will be a little late this
year.
Ethel Harmon ieturned Satur-

ionally good this year. Mulberries

ford Monday to attend Normal.

chester high school this year.
Corn is looking fine, and at this
time it looks like a very large crop
would be raised this year.
—The Republicans have a very com-
plicated situation to deal with. The
two great leaders have gone out on
the stump and told startling stories
on each other, and the question is,
which one is correct. They ought to
know what they are talkiug about, as
both are in positions to know the
complete facts. The average voter
has it sized up that both are correct,
aDd with this idea a great many Re-
publicans have decided to vote against
one of them, both, If they are both
Dominated These men intend to vote
for the Democrats.—State Line Dem-
ocrat.
—Deep, even plowing, covering
every weed end particle of vegetation
in the field, are the first essentials of
good crops, just as the solid founda-
tion Is the essent ial of the safe and
strong building; and the farmer who
neglects to do this is failing to get the
proper returns from his soil.
