Accepting the democratic nomina-
tion Woodrow Wilson delivered a no-
table speech setting forth his ideas
on the vital Issues of the day. He de-
clared In favor of an immediate re-
vision downward of the tariff "un-
hesitatingly aud steadily downward"
and declared that the. high cost of liv-
ing is not so much due to the tariff
as It is to the private understanding
between the middlemen who stand
between the producer and the con-
sumer. He asserted that prevailing
prices are not fixed by the competi-
tions of the market or by the ancient
law of supply and demand which Is to
befound stated in all the primers of
economics but by private arrange-
ments with regard to what the supply
should he and agreements among the
producers themselves. He declared in
favor of legislation which would make
such agreements Impossible in the fu-
ture Governor Wilson declared that
next to the task of revising the tariff
and reducing the high cost of living
is the great task "of protecting our
people and our resources and of keep
Ing open to the whole people the doors
of opportunity through which they
must generation by generation pass
If they are to make conquest of their
fortuiu.s In health in freedom
In
peace and in contentment. In the
performance of this second great duty
we are face to face with questions of
conservation and of development
questions for forests and water powers
and mines and waterways of the build-
ing of an adequate merchant marine."
Governor Wilson Is without a peer in
the art of expressing economic Ideas
clearly so that his address of accept-
ance makes a political document of
much weight and merit.

AUGUST HISTORIC MONTH
Of nl the montlls of the year August

1 The guaranty law certainly scored a
: triumph when the Oklahoma state
period since statehood yet they rec-
nvK the soundness of the principle
that the depositor siiO"M haw jVo-
lute assurance that his noney will be
waiting fo rhim when he calls for it.
However changes in the law that
would lessen this burden on the utate
bankers would only b- just. St-.tis-
tklans have estimated that the losses
of the past fifty years cual about one
seventeenth of one pe.- cent of th- d
posits of all the ban'ts 'n the L"i tied
States. The loss in Oklahoma during
the first years of the operation of the
guaranty law were far in wtcmti of
the financial affairs of the whole na-
tion. This was a new state. Men
from all parts of the globe had come
into it and some of them were not
bankers and some were plain crooks
who came here to take advantage of
the new conditions to build ap de-
posits and loot the guaranty fund. This
condition has passed. The banking
situation has somewhat cleared. The
hanking board has gained the wisdom
of a most trying experience and Is
prepared to thwart such methods in
the future so that the losses will be
less. We believe that one-fifth of one
per cent on the deposits of the state
banks each year will pay all losses
and create a fund that will take care
of future losses. In view of this we
believe that the maximum assessment
for any one year should not be more
than one-fifth of one per cent. Then
if any extraordinary losses occur let
the difference be paid out of the gen-
eral revenues of the state. This will
give the tax payers a more direct in-
terest in the enforcement of the bank-
ing laws and will serve to assist in
punishing violations. It 's not unjust
to ask the public to beac a portion of
the burden of the guaranty of deposits.
They arc beneficiaries to a large de-
gree through the operation of this
law. A blow to the financial struc-
ture of the state Is a blow to every
tax payer and we believe the people
of Oklahoma if made to thoroughly
understand an amendment to this ef-
fect will accept their share of the
burden. The banks however are the
chief beneficiaries and must carry the
greater part of the burden. Bank

ERADICATING CATTLE TICKS.
The taking up of the cattle ranges
The taking up of the western cattle
ranges by homesteaders resulting in
a shortage in the suply of beef cattle
for consumption by the millions of
people largely dependent upon cattle
grown In that region has brought
about a rise In price of .steers at the
great Abattoirs nf the country and a
decided Increase in cost of meat to
the consumer in the cities.
Naturally also it has caused both
the growers and buyers to look about
for fresh pastures for the herds upon
which their prosperity and business
depends.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS' PROCEEDINGS.
The Honorable Board of County ComtnlfSiOlieis of Craig County Okla-
homa met in the office of the County Clerk in the City of Vin ta. in regular
monthly session this 5th day of August 1912. at 10 o'clock a. m. Present
J. M. Siiuins. Chairman. Robert L. Chamberllu and R. P. Ml. County Clerk.
Absent George Costley. The minutes of the previous session were read and
approved. The reports of the following County officials for the month of July
912. were approved to-wit: Jas. K. McCullougu Clerk of the County Court;
Ie k. Mitchell. Clerk of the District Court; E. D. Eicklin County Treasurer
ard R- F. Nix. County Clerk. The following claims were audited to-wit:

of the cattle tick although a number

It is of greai iniportarce that the
efforts of the officials should be supple-
mented by the farms and to this end
a farmers' bulletin giving "Methods of
Exterminating the Texas Fever Tick.'
In a practical manner that can be
utilized by the farmer or stockman
who has already begun or who con-
templates undertaking the complete
extermination of this pest from his
farm.
These methods may be improved up
on as new facts become available but
they have already reached such a de-
gree of perfection and have been given
such wide practical tests that the
main pan. of the task is to enlist a
hearty vigorous and conscientious co-
operation on the part of the people
in other words the work will progress
from now on just as rapidly as the
people desire it should and no faster.

DEPENDED ON THE HUSBANDS
Lady Book Agent Found It th Same
With Both Wife and
Widow.
Tho Tired Lady Book Agent was
having a very poor day. She had rung
Innumerable door belli and talked till
he was hoarse to all kinds of people.
She had In every case been Invited In
which waa a good beginning. She had
told her story gone Into details of
half-calf morocco and plain cloth
bindings but no sale had been made.
Young women and old had given the
same excuse for not subscribing then
and there.
"Yes I like It very very much but
I must consult my husband."
"Surely" the Book Agent thought
"no one can say that women disregard
their husband's wishes even in these
Votes-for-Women days."
Finally late In the afternoon tho
last house was reached.
"Ha!" said the Book Agent glee-
fully. "Here'a where I get a sale.
She's a widow and she won't bare to
consult her husband."
So she rang the bell hopefully and
was received by the Widow who lis-
tened with great Interest to the story
ot the merits of the books.
Just as the Book Agent was begin-
ning to think she was making a sale
the Widow sighed and said:
"No I can't take It today. If only
my dear husband were alive I
wouldn't hesitate a minute."
JOKED IN FACE OF DEATH
Last Words of Titanlc's Purser Mc-
Elroy Were Light-Hearted
and Cheerful.
Charles Brown the English come-
dian loat a number of friends In the
Titanic tragedy. He knew most of the
officers on the ill-fated ship and the
purser McEIroy had been his com-
rade for yearB. A recent letter from
England brought to the actor the last
words of McEIroy an au revblr of
lffe which Is notable for its calm Brit-
ish courage.
The fourth officer Marzials who
went down with the ship and was
picked up by a boat Is the man who
testifies to McElroy's behavior. A
small group of the Titanic staff was
waiting for the final plunge. The wa-
ter was lapping the deck at their very
feet and the end was merely a ques-
tion of a very few minutes. McEIroy
turned to his companions with a smile
and shook hands with them saying:
"Well good-by fellows; It looks like
and for breakfast tomorrow."
"That was typical of McEIroy" says
Brown. "He was one of the merriest
bravest men who ever lived. It was
like him to hav his little joke in the
face of death."

Insist that men be allowed to wear
light clothing during the summer and
the stiff collars be abolished. They de-
clare that while women can discard
heavy garments as soon as hot weath-
er begins and clothe themselves In
silks and taffetas the men have hith-
erto been forced to wear tweeds aad
cheviots and to encumber themselves
with unnecessary articles of adorn-
ment merely because It has always
been the custom. The man now In-

tweeds and cheviots shall be consid-
