MONDAY JANUARY 25 1904
Every now and then another boom
readies that Interesting state where
the editors damn Its owner with faint
rrnlae
If radium will turn negroes white
as the chemists claim what hope re-
mains fnr the Republicans or Guthrie
and LKan otinty?
Evidently Oklahoma City should
have followed the old adage that a
bird In the hand bents the uncertain
ties of n congress.
It la to be hoped that the United
Mine "Workers Will not consider it
ntosary to strike again Just on the
eve of a presidential campaign.
Ample railroad facilities already
secured and cheap fuel assured by the
gas plant now building will cause
Guthrie to fairly quivor Industrially
within the next fow years.
A wealthy Illinois politician has of
fcred to glvit $8000(r0 to establish a
public park in t'eorla. Wo have yef
to hear of any Oklahoma politician be-
ing thus conscience stricken.
With Senator Quay deserting his
double statehood Stand and Bev-
crlug'i's laconic but emphatic dis-
claimer that statehood would not be
considered at this session of congress.
U really seems aH though Dennis
Flynn knew what ho was talking
about when he Bald there would bo no
statehood until 1900.
THE POSTAL GRAFT MICROBE.
Maybi- most people suppose that
tht pi3toffice grafters hnve been in-
ttraidat. d and that honesty for a
while ft least Is assured
But it Is not safe to lump to any
inuU conclusion A governmen de

any such mild treatment as has been

It is a lusty lit le microbe that Is
ever feverishly actlvo
Postmaster General Payno Is just
now winning warm praises becauso
lie has recommended a small appro-
priation for extending telophone sor-
vlco In the rural mall delivery. His
plan is to provldo a special stamp
which authorizes tho postmaster to
open the letter and telephone Its con
ten's to the receiver
As most farmers and others living

lint there Is something suspiciously
familiar about the whole thing It
looks very much like some former
symptoms of the graft microbe.
It is at least In order for Hie presi-
dent to give Postmaster General
Psn another opportunity to Investi-
gal himself
AMERICAN KINGS.
This Is "high finance:"
The United Stated Steel corporation
with $90OC0000 In Its treasury cu's
out 40000 holders of the common stock
from dividends. Only $1500003 would
have been needed to pny a dividend to
these stockholders who deceived by
the specious promises of Wall street
are now frosen out of the dividend pay
tng class and left without a penny-or
profits.
The common stock of the steel trust
because of these deadly tactics has
fallen from an nverage price of $40 a
share to $10.
The common stock when the trust
was exploited was bought by the com-
mon people 10000 of them small
merchants salesmen teachers minist-
ers widows wage earners $6SMM)0
000 of It. These thousands of small
Investors bought eagerly on the repre
sentatton of leading financiers who in-
vited the public to step up and invest
in the watered stock. The financiers
themselves bought preferred stock.
The promoters assured the public
that the common stock would pay 4
per cent. It ought to pay that much
Out after passing twelve millions of
last yor's earnings lo the surplus.
mnkltig ninety millions of surplus the
directors refused to pay a cent to the
holdors of the common stock.
Why?
Tho Rockefellers are plotting to .get
control of tho trust.
The Rockefellers do not want to pay
vhat the public palj. They never do.
The slender pursed public disappoint-
ed with tho investment disgusted with
the wire pulling will sell nt the mark
et price it win sen at pracuoauy
ono fourth what it paid.
Perfeotly legal and not unusual?
Certainly.
Corporation directors are doing the
same daily. If the directors choose
to pass earning to surplus Instead of
dividends thoy can do so. John D.
Rockefeller's agents can now quietly
and gradually buy up sufficient com-
mon stock to con'rol tho board of di-
rectors. Thoy will not buy It in a
bunch. That would be to bull the
market . But they will buy it.
John D. Rockefeller will be king of
steel as he is king of oil.
You see In this umntry men are not
born to the purple and do not rule by
d.vlne right.
WHY?
Why sorrow?
Why pnln?
liver sines man was capable of pain
and sorrow these cries have beon
nrung from 1i1b soul.
You 809 another suffer. Perhaps
it is no fault of his. You sympathize
and you philosophize. And tho only
answer you can give to the query
"Why this suffering?" is the old one:
It is for tho perfection of character.
!But
Pain and sorrow come to you to
you.
That's difforont. .
Somohow tho old philosophy does
not lit. You can not see the necessity
for the perfecting of your life. You
question the righteousness of it. Per-
haps you rail against your fate.
Foolish one
The fundamental error In all human
life Is the failure to soe the relative
value of things Sorrow and suffering
are stern teachers You are a dull
scholar. You realise In a dim sort of
way that these tutors belong to the
Hchool of life Your tears fall on the
pasu of tho text book Or you rebel
against the discipline of the school

Greater nnl greater grows the public in-
terest in 1'rofT iiunyon'S new J'aw-Paw
cur. Drugguts say they never had such
a demand lor a new remedy ilany poo-
Ele who procured a trial bottle say they
egan to feel better after takine tho first
dose. It not only ncUAis a tonic but
cives tho jtomach an abiding strength to
digest everytlung that i put Into it. 1'eo-
plevwho luvo been unable to retain any
solids on their stomachs now declare taey
can oat a hearty meal without any dis-
comfort. The moat marvelous effect of
this Paw-IHw remedy is its wonderful
curative effect upon the nerves. It seenis
to KJothe.-calm and strengthen them.
Trof. Ifunyon ays that this Paw-raw
remedy feeds the nerves and relieve! them
of all irritation and friction. It isn't a
narcotic to put them to sleep but a rem-
edy that will give them a lailma; strength.
1 don't believe aaya Prof. Jlunyon that
a better remedy for the blood and liver
was ever compounded. I have seen alug-
ciih livenrthat had refuted to act under
the usual treatments respond in a roost
marvelous way by the usa of Paw-Paw.
Paw-Paw aeema to digest everything it
touches; hence it makes good rich blood
whioh in turn strengthens and vitalize?
the whole nervous system.
I want all persons who suffer with dys-
pepsia or nervous trouble to cast away all
other remedies and to give Paw-Paw a fair
trial. I ivsnt every weak and debilitated
person to get a bottle of Paw-Paw at onco
anditahc it according to directions.
I know it will make old folks feel young
and weak folks strong
I want all tersonswho feci the v are
in need of a ionic to drop the use of al-
coholic drinks of all kinds and tako Paw-
Paw in its place. People don't crave for
stimulants when the stomach and nerv
are in a healthful condition. Munyou's
Paw-Paw gives exhilaration without intox-
ication. Alcoholic stimulants lift hut lot you fall.
Paw-Paw lifts and holds you.
Every druggist sells it or can obtain it

Paw Laxative Pills. S5 cents a bottle.
Hon. Ilevolt Is useless. You can not
run away from the lesson. And If you
olmfe ifnd ohlde your teachers it will
only harden your lot and make life's
suhool more miserable.
