columns of the Express will be gladly corrected upon Its being brought to

was worth while to use up so much

It has always been contrary to the
policy of the Express to Inject per-
sonalities into its editorial columns
and to use space in replying to at-
tacks oh It but sometimes the tempta-
tion to break the rule Is very strong
and we can't help edging over a bit.
The most contemptible whelp in the
whole category of nondescript nin-
compoops is the anonymous letter
writer. lie doesn't deserve to bear
the name of man but is rightly classi-
fied as a cowardly cur. There is no
placo In any decent community for
such ah animal. - The anonymous let

might a well put a stop to your juihery. You can do it if
you will. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery will
make you a different individual. It will set your lazy liver

That "politics is not a woman's

tribulations since she assumt-d pffice

that this Is a serious blow to the
cause of "voles for women."
We observe that the present state
of buBiness Is not tending to swell the
volume of the newspapers. On our

"indictment" of the reupbilean party

Bryan says editorially:
"Attorney General Wicliersham
says that the law of supply and de-
mand no longer controls; that for
years the prices of all the great sta
ple industries have been fixed by
agreement among the principal pro-
ducers. What an indictment to bring
against four terms of republican rule!

"WORKING" THE PUBLISHER.
In former days the railroads were
the most imposed upon business con-
cerns in the country. Those were
the days of free passes and freight
rebates. But today we venture to say
the newspaper publisher is more fre-
quently "worked" than anybody in
business. Everybody it would seem
tries to "do him."
In the circulation department It is
very common to have the friends of
the paper say or write "send me your
paper gratis I have always spoken a
good word for you." Or the pica is
put upon the ground that the appli-
cant holds a public office and may
have news items to give out or he is
an occasional advertiser.
When one considers that a sihglo
daily newspaper for a year means for
white paper and postage alone a cost

If the bootleggers by their bold de-
fiant attitude meant to challenge the
law-abiding citizenship of Cliickasha
to combat they certainly have had
their wishes gratified. Many a man
usually indifferent to the ordinary
dealings of the booze venders Is
stirred to resentment by their high
handed acts and will join In the pur-
suit of them. It requires a little ex-
citement occasionally to arouse citi-
zens and officers to renewed diligence.
The Dps Moines Judge must bo
credited with Inventing a new and ef-
fective means of stopping a strike. He
seems to hold the opinion that the
public have some rights In such a con-
troversy a fact that is frequently over-
looked. By order of the court the
man whoso discharge was the cause
of the trouble was temporarily rein-
staled and the company was com-
manded to resume service thus leav-

Lexington is a quaint old town on
a high bluff overlooking the "Big

portant battle of the civil war in Mis-
souri was fought here and Judge
Grigsby then a beardless youth was
one of the "rebs" who helped to win
the victory. On September 5th tho
battle will be celebrated and bravo

NE WEEK AGO- WE an-
I nounced to the public
It is probably true that there never
was a good cause that didn't attract
to it a few reformers for revenue only
men who espouse it because in it
they find a fruitful field for :e grat-
ification of their desires for gain
glory or ordinary notoriety t'n for-
tunately the real adherents of such a
cause sincere honest men aiming
o do good are not always able to
distinguish these pretenders. That is
why a lot of good men cheered a man
who is under conviction for a hein
ous crime when he stood before them
und attacked a newspaper that has
always stood for law and order ami
decency. !iat has given columns and
columns of i(s .space to the prohibi-

ers. Why is it the man who wants an
office should think the newspapers
should hire his printers at $4 or $5 a
day to set in type his claims and pre
tentions and get nothing in payment?
It is they say a public matter and
the publisher is expected to charge
nothing for space devoted to public
interest. Hut that office is of far
more interest to the office seeker than
to the publisher. The candidate Is
the party who is to get the salary and
where does the publisher come in for
his expenses in getting out the pa-
per? Who is going to pay the salar-
ies for reporters for news service
telegrams rent white paper postage
printers pressmen etc. etc.?
The publisher gives away willingly
and cheerfully a great quantity of his
commodity space. He gives it to the
churches to the lodges to tho char-
ity institutions to the Salvation Army
to the boosters and the boomers of
his town to every public interest and
good cause. Ho gives gives and
gives again and rarely gets any
thanks. Oklahoma City Times.
