WATCH THE COTTON WAG-
ONS ON THE STREETS
A Chickaha bussing man said
: today:
"We 6bould not depend too
much on premiums to make
. Chickasha a cotton market.
: "After all what the farmer
' likes best Is to see a lot of buy-
era make rush for his wagon
when be comes to town. If lie
sees many buyers bidding for hie-
cotton he will be satisfied that
he is getting the right price.
"I happen to know that most
of the cotton sold here this sea-
son especially during the first
week or so brought a little more
than the market justified and I
know that our buyers are going
the full limit on the rrict every
day.
"I believe however that the
streets should be more closely
watched for the arrival of cotton
wagon and that our buyers
. should be prompt to appear. We
have About 20 individual and
firms that have agreed to buy
cottoa aiid if the nis'ority of
them have their buyer on the
spot at the right time if wR go
a long way toward 'establishing
Chk'kaaha's reputation as a com-
petit! ve market where the high-
est price Is paid."
t
"KIRK."
Th profession of the "town bulld-
r" Is the latest arrival in our mod-
or commercial system. Within the past
few years the commercial club secre
tary has become an important factor
: in the building of cities and in direct-
ing all development movements. He
Is the man who Is expected to doctor
sick communities inject the elixir of
life Into the veins of towns and like
magician cause hamlets to blossom
Into cities over night. A great Job Is
his and much Is expected of him. The
professional secretary is the out
growth of the era of town "boosting"
atid la a necessary part of It.
Something over a year ago Mr.
Charles C. Kirkpatrick was called to
minister lo Chlckasha in this capa-
city and he has been at his post up to
the present hour. That he has thrown
his whole soul into his work Is Indi-
cated by the fact that he remained a
month after he tendered his resigna-
tion simply becuuKe he wanted to fin-
ish up some of the work he had be-
gun. He is going up to the big Windy
City to enter a larger field and to take
up a line of work In keeping with his
tastes and in which he will have a
broader opportunity to apply his pow-
ers in the career he has chosen.
I Now Is is safe to say that "Kirk"
; ha3 not accomplished all that he hop-
ed to lo Chk kasha no man ever does
. that and neither lias he produced the
! results that many expected of him be-
cause that was Impossible. Also It has
no been possible for him to please
everybody but In the minds of those
who have kept In touch with his work
there is rc doabt that he has done
shout all that could have been done

under ti.e circumstances that he has
been loyal to Chickasha and indefat-
igable in his efforts to advance the
interests of the town at all times. In
a hundred ways not apparent on the
surface he has guarded the welfare of
the city and sought to further its de- J
velopment. Particularly he has stress- J
ed the Idea that Chic-kasha's logical
line of growth lies In the development
of !he resources of the county and in
this we think he was right. Another
thing he has not been eager to grasp
every alluriui .heine which the
smooth promoter offered and his sound
judgment in these matters has doubt-
less saved the town many dollars
"Kirk" will leave Chickasha with
the entire confidence and respect of
the business community and with the
best wishes of scores of warm person-
al friends who trust that his future
labors may be crowned with enormous
dividends of success.
SYSTEMATIC CHARITY.
The plan of Mayor llurton to place
all the charity work of the city in the
hands of the United Charities Is strict
ly in line with modern ideas and offers
the most practical method of dealing
with the problem of the deserving
poor.
ocdety owes a doty to the unfortu-
nate and it should not be overlooked.
Unfortunately we have no deiwirtment
of charities in our municipal organiza-
tion as we should have and therefore
the work must be left to individual In-
itiative or to a voluntary organization.
The former system or lack of system
ia open to many objections. It does
not insure that all worthy cases will
be cared for and there is always the
danger that sufficient discrimination
will not be exercised In selecting the
objects of alms.
Under a thoroughly systematic
method of organization public bene-
factions will go where they belong
and no deserving cases will be over-
looked. The obligations which we
owe to the needy should be equitably
distributed anionic those who are able
to bear the burden and this can be ac-
complished only by a well organized
system.
The local charity society has already
accomplished much good. Under the
new arrangement villi more funds
placed in its hands and duly recogniz-
ed as the proper source from which
aid to the indigent is to be extended
its ephere of usefulness should be
greatly enlarged. It 1b a social crime
not to Eive assistance to the victims
of unfortunate circumstances and it is
no less a crime to bestow alms on the
undeserving. . There is far more dan-
ger of overlooking the deserving than
of ministering to the undeserving.
Systematic Charity aims to accom-
plish the one and eliminate the other
and the United A"haritiea is the organ
ization which is expected to perform
this necessary -work.
o
The A. H. T. A. convention which
will be held n Chkkasha early In Or
tober will 'be a large gathering and
we should begin our preparations to
entertain the delegates In the usual
Chickasha style. We must maintain
our well established reputation as a
convention city.

VITAL WASHINGTON NEWS
Washington Sept. 13. It Is diffi-
cult to see how President Tafi's l.'i-
00O mile swing around the circle can
end in anything but a sorry spectacle
for himself.
If be tells the people the truth about
how he vetoed the honest attempt of
both branches of congress to reduce
the high cpst of living in this coun-
try; how upon taking office he filled
his cabinet with men connected with
the law breaking trusts and how he
tried and nearly succeeded In secretly
giving Alaska away to the land grab-
bers ne will discredit himself.
If Mr. Taft Juggles with the facts In
the slightest degree the insurgents
"swinging" along In his trail will
point out his misrepresentations with
such truth and logic that the presi-
dent will be more discredited than if
he had remained at home.
The record of the Taft administra-
tion Is not one that can't be debated
with any credit to the president. The
president has only himself and men
like Aldrlch (luggenheim Penrose
and Lodge to whose advice he listen-
ed exclusively to blame.
Shoddy Woolens.
The wool trust's practice of cheap-
ening the quality of its product while
at the same time maintaining prices
ul t tin highest level ever known is
drawing the fire of the medical Jour-
nals all over the country. Through
these journa's physicians are protest-
ing against the lack of warm and en-
during underclothing winch causes
the spread of injurious diseases. Wo-
men und children suffer most from
this form of greed. The medical jour-
nals are demanding a repeal of the
high protective duties amounting
to 100 per cent on the commoner
grades of woolens recognizing in
ABOUT BAD BOYS.
Hoys are bad. Of course they are.
They would not he boys if they were
not. Because a boy is bad does not
mean that he Is immoral or wicked.
According to Dr. Dawin this is a
trait inherited from our simian an-
cestors. It is the mischief of the moil
key the excess of animal spirits com-
ing with adolescence the very ecstacy
of livir? that mpkes a boy bad. There
are some who gravitate to evil ways
as a result but most boys soon ex-
haust this plethora of youthful en.
thusiasm and develop into sound sen-
sible useful citizens says the Bartles-
vlll Examiner.
The parents of a bad boy should
not be discouraged. He may worry
them and cause much trouble at
home but nine times out of ten his
heart Is in the right place and with
himself. Give him time that is all.
Youth must have its fling. Every
boy has a natural desire to be the
cause of thing's. It Is while in this
period that many people think a boy'to
is hopelessly lost. They must not be
deceived by these surface demonstra-
tions. The vices of the period are
often the virtues of the future accord-

See Taft's Defeat.
"President Taft has declined an op-
portunity to greatly cheapen the cest
of clothing wire etc. and in doing so
has defended what he' said was inde-
fensible. The president's vetoes of
the tariff bills will make it difficult
for him to be renominated and will
practically ins-'-? his defeat if re-
nominated." This la an extract from the weekly
market letter of the New York con-
solidated stock exchange firm of War-
ren W. Krwin Co. It shows that
the New York business Interes? and
Wall Street haveldefinltely concluded
Taft cannot be reelected and are ap-
parently ready to throw him over.
Suggestion for an Article.
In the September Columbian mag-
azine Senator liristow of Kansas tells
"HovT the Interests' Control America"
and while this is an excellent expose
and one that everybody should read.
Senator liristow doubtless could
please a great many people by writing
another article next month on "How
I Hlocked Election of Senators by Di-
rect Vote of the People With an
Amendment Which I Knew Would
Kill the Hill."
An Excuse Only.
When the standpat republicans
gave as their reason for opposing the
Underwood -LaFollette revision down-
ward wool bill the fact that the tariff
board had not reported they were
only bluffing. The very men who set
up that excuse bitterly opposed the
creation of the tariff board in the
first place and will prove their In-
consistency agaip l.vter on by being
the first ones to raise their voices tn
an attack upon that board to prevent
revision when congress comes to con-
sider it again.

HARMON AND WILSON.
Gov. Wilson and Gov. Harmon are
both considered as candidates for th
democratic nomination for president
They met yesterday at the conference
of governors for the first time in a
year of more. Of course all the boys
gathered expecting to see them go to
it without formalities Wilson seek-
ing to plant a solar plexus blow on the
Ohio man and Harmon reaching for
the ex-professor's knowledge box.
But strange to say nothing of the
sort hppened. According to one of
the correspondents who was there to
I report the scrap Wilson eaid "How
i are you governor?" and Harmon re-
j plied "I am delighted to see you sir."
Then it ia said the two statwaen
j clasped hand3 like brothers and even
j affectionately "placed their left hands
on each other's shoulders." Of course
the crowd of small lads and governors
who had assembled to see the mill
went away disappointed demanding
their money back.
Still it is perhaps better as it was
for it wouldn't look well to see two
candidates for such an exalted office
mix In a rought-and-tumble bout.
o
Chickasha can't afford to lose Col.
Tom Dwyer. We advise him to turn
down the good Job that has been offer-
fed him down In Texas. Another
thing we fear he would be corrupted
by the evil associations that surround
a senator In Washington.
We dotibt whether any other man
will ever be elected governor of Ok-
lahoma on a "sunshine" platform. The
people know when they get enough of
a good thing.
o
Still it is not to be expected that the
coiU dealers will look sad because of
the prophecy of an extra cold winter.
o
It Is gratifying to see the town fill-
ing up again. Many families have
moved here during the past few
weeks.
