Citizens of Vinila d:d you ever
sider the damagii.it influence of ism b
placet on the children f the town in
comparison :th the wry small rev-
enue you receive tor such privileges.
I believe if you compare the figures
te"ioniu -ally y-ra will find the brJaiue
on the wrong s-ide of the ledger whith
fhort.ige have to be charged to
tie account tf loss Instead of profit.
There is no money in the poo! hall for
any one but the mr.n that owns it. It
ery nature contaminates every thing
it touches.
It looks fuod to the average stranger
who visits a uty in this twentieth cen-
tury to see the saloon and billiard hall
signs conspicuous by their absence. He
will make up his mind that this is the
place he has long looked for as a home
and a proper place to educate and
school his family.
There are young men and young wo-
men twenty-five years old in Kansas
who never seen or entered a licensed
saloon. Conditions in Kansas cau be
duplicated in Oklahoma. Our watch-
word should be: Give us more schools
and less billiard balls; more churches
and less whisky joints; more morality
and less criminality; more- love mid
less hatred and revenge; more good
citizens and less law violations. There
are citizens in our town who w ill very
bitterly criticise the position of the
writer of ths article. But just let
them soberly review the facts set
forth in the case and compare good
morals and decency with the ruinous
policy of the different evils set forth
in this article. A strict comparison
would be good for the cause by an
honest man with honest views. We
very much expect the opposition to
kick and show their teeth. We would
be very badly disappointed if they
would quietly submit to the laws of
the land and the voice of the people.
If they are contentious and obstinate
in violation of Ww the only remedy is
to inflict the severest penalties of both
fines and imprisonment. By this meth-
od we usually rid the community of
those leeches on society and pood
morals.
My next article will be; What
Vinita Needs."

"Where yoa gel the Bett"
SEA'S PERILS EVER PRESENT
Maneuver and Sham Battle Cannot
Be Held Without the Element
of Danger.
It it the r.rat distinction of the sea
that Its peace maneuver are never
shara fights. To whatever branch or
grade of the naval service a seaman
may belong when he is on active
service he is always face to face w!tn
'the real thing." A mistake of f.uy
sort a pardonable miscalculation a
momentary failure of nerve or a'ten-
tion or even some ima!I unavoidable
accident may Involve the forfeit cf
many lives. Hence the magnitxtnt
training the sea imposes in manli
ness resourcefulness and self-control.
The submarine branch of the navy
has undoubtedly risks and dangers of
its own as the sad tale of previous
disasters plainly shows; and when a
catastrophe unhappily occurs it is of
a nature to make a profound impres-
sion upon the public But In relation
to tiie number of submarines in com
mission and to the constant exercise
they undergo the picked officers and
men who serve in them do not incur a
risk out of ail proportion greater than
their comrades in other branches.
Danger and risk are no peculiar
prerogative of the submarine. Daily-
faced in the routine of duty and daily
overcome. thy form the very founda-
tion of naval character and are a
pledge. In no small degree of the se-
curity upon w hich as a nation we re-
pose. BRAVE EFFORT AT ENGLISH
Japanese Correspondent Knew What
He Wanted Though Meaning Was
Rather Vague to Others.
For the genuine ''English as she is
spoke" we must go abroad among edu-
cated Orientals who can spell and
read English to perfection but find it
impossible to master the syntax of our
language. A firm dealing in fishing
tackle having sent a circular to a mer-
chant in Toklo Japan received the
following communication:
"Dear Sir In Tours: We should pre-
sent to your company the bamboo fish-
ing rod a net basket and reel as we
have just convenience; all those were
very rough and simple to you laughing
for your kind reply which you sent s
the catalog of fishing tackle last etc.
Wishing we that cow at Japan there la
was not In prevailing fish gaming but
fishermen in scarcely there now but
we do not measure how the progres-
sion of the germ of the fishing game
beforehand. Therefore we may yield
cf feeling to restock in my store your
company's fishing tackle etc. Should
you have the kindness to send a such
further country's even in a few par-
take when we send the money ia or-
dering of them should you?

Goethe's Birthday.
An amusing story taken from Bode's
book on Goethe appears in a Paris
contemporary. In August 181S Goe-
the went to Carlsbad for the cure and
placed himself under the care of Dr.
Rehbein. One morning when he rose
be requested Charles his domestic to
place a bottle of red wine and a glass
In each of the two windows in the
room.
Then the poet walked round and
round the apartment stopping at each
window to drink a glass of wine.
When he had nearly emptied the bot
ties the doctor arrived. "Ah" said
Goethe "you are come. Do you know
It is my birthday T" "No" said the
doctor "it is not your birth-ay. It
falls tomorrow.
Only the production of the almanac
could convince Goethe that he was a
day out in his reckoning. When be
discovered his mistake he gave vent
to a strong expression which Scott
puts in the mouth of Capt. Nanty
Ewart and after a long pause turn-
ing to the doctor said: "Then I have
got drunk for nothing."
The Lucky Number.
An amusing story concerning the
Greek naval lottery appears in a Paris
Journal. It stems that tie tickets
were hawked about the Piraeus and
were eagerly purchased from the com
tilled motive of patriotism and the ex
e'teroer.t attesdsrt epen a gamble.
One day a hawker stopped outside a
m'.ik step and. tee'rg an ass standing
by Uden with eggs cheese and but-
ter to tait&yje the animal took one
cf his tickets and gave it to the beast
The poor beast was struggling with
It la the hope of extracting something
eatable when a grocer on the opposite
side of the way who had seen what
was happening rushed across and res-
cued the ticket "Tbat ticket" he
eald to the hawker "will win a prise
and I will buy it." He did bo and the
ticket drew a prize of thirty thousand
francs. -
Awkward.
"I am pleased to meet yon again"
be said.
"Thank you" replied the lady who
had once bees bis wife.
-How are the children?"
"What children r
-Ours."
"We never had any."
"Oh I beg your pardon. It waa rery
tupld of tne I mistook you for some
one else."

TO ACCURATE HONET
All others have their advantages and disadvantages mostly)
disadvantages. It is no small undertaking to save money as mam ?
of us can bear witness. But getting down to the bottom of things?
just think what you could save if you could eliminate all expense'
for food. You can't of course because a good healthy bpdy an;:
mind must have good substantial nurisnment to keep up your
earning power and a certain amount of expense in that direction
is a prime necessity. But you can save money on the cost oi
your food if yoa will only investigate. On some articles it will
amount to say 15 per cent on some others 40 per cent but you
can effect a saving every day if you buy at Garrison's C. O. D.
It would be a great deal of trouble but rf you just kept count o '
the pennies and dimes thus saved you would be surprised. It
would in all probability explain how some of your neighbor
manage to live comiortaoiy ana
than you have. Try it out
