"Is a Precedent a Safe Guide?
is the title of an article reprinted
in another column. It deals with
a third term for the present coun-
ty officers, or a part of them, at
least. From the standpoint of
efficiency the present incumbents
have made good, but we feel
that it would be hard to convince
other possible candidates and
their friends that the idea is
all right. Some of the boys got
by two years ago without oppo-
sition, and unless they can crys-
talize a pretty strong sentiment
this year we rather doubt the ad-
visability of starting a precedent.

rain falling during the day and
night. All idea of a cold snap
had been forgotten, but during
Wednesday night the tempera-
ture dropped down neaa the zero
mark. Nearly all day Thursday
a One snow fell.
Every indication for a good
wheat crop seems assured, and
the hard freezes and thaws, com-
bined with the snow and rain
this section has had is putting
the ground in the very best con-
dition for plowing arid crop work.
January a year ago had only .38
inch of rain to its credit and up
to the present time over an inch
of rain has fallen.
In reference to the weather
bureau forecast it is well to bear
in mind that the drop in temper-
ature as predicted usually comes,
but it may be twenty-four hours
late. If you have any young
stock that needs shelter it is well
to care for them during cold
weather, and if a prediction is
made you will lose nothing by
caring for them for a few days
during the time the drop in
temperature may come.

Is Precedent a Safe Guide?
Snyder Democrat: Just at this
time there is a state ot uncer-
tainty in the field of political
activity in this county. Demo-
cratic leaders realize the im-
portance of keeping faith with
the voters, also the impor-
tance of selecting, as standard
bearers, men whose ability, in-
tegrity and soundness of business
judgment stand out clear and
strong. While there is an abun-
dance of good material in the
county, we never cau know just
how the colt will pull until after
it has been hitched to the load,
and while it has been the pre-
cedent of our party in the past
to retire our county officers after
they have served us two terms,
or four years, in view of the
graveness of the situation facing
our party at this time, we wish
to raise Ihe question, if it would
not be good business judgment
to ask our present county officers
to stand for renomination and
election. The economy and effi
ciency of their administration
has been such that it compels
the admiration and respect of
the entire citizenship of our
county, irrespective ot party af
filiation. We understand that
our officers are not desirous of
perpetuating themselves in their
present positions and they only
hold these positions by consent
of the voters of this county, but
we have tried them and know
what they will do. Others might
do as well, but there is a risk and
uncertainty. So why take the
risk? We believe in the old
adage that, "It is a bad thing to
The election last Friday night
for the purpose of voting bonds
in the sum of $8,000 for electric
lights for the town of Mountain
View carried bv a vote of 54 for
the proposition and 43 against.
For some months the citizens
ot Mountain View have talked
electric lights, and it is safe to
say that all were iu favor of
lights, the only dissention being
in regard to municipal ownership
and franchise. Early in Novem-
ber a committee started out with
a paper soliciting a certain num-
ber of lights for a party who
wanted a franchise, but this com-
mittee was not able to get much
encouragement and the matter
was droppsd until an election
was called to vote municipal own-
ership.
Electric lights were what the
people wanted and now that toe
voters have voted to have them
1 here is no reason why the elec-
tric light plant can not be a pay-
ing proposition. Both towns on
each side of us have lights and
there is no reason to think that
Mountain View is a backwoods
town and cannot do as well or
even better than any other town
its size in southwest Oklahoma.
Mountain View is one of the best
towns in this section and has
proved herself such in more ways
than one. Everybody in Mount-
ain View for Mountain View and
you will see that it is the best
paying boost ever tackled for the
good returned.
The council is arranging to re-
ceive bids on the bonds, also on
plans and specifications for the
machinery and plant. From all
indications the bonds can be sold View cemetery,
at a higher cash value thau ever
before.

The government weather fore-
cast of Tuesday had Oklahoma
slated for a drop of 20 to 30 de-,
grees in temperature during the J swap horses in the middle of a
day or night. As usual the uu- stream.” The precedent of swap-
expected happened. Instead of 1 ping is not sound from a business
getting colder, the day and night standpoint. Why not put good
continued warm and during the business principles into practice

Mrs. Myrtle Dell Tate
The following obituary was
taken from the Rocky News, the
newspaper published in the town
in which Mis. Tate resided at the
time of her death:
Mrs. Myrtle Dell Tate nee
Craggs was born at Anadarko,
Okla., July 21, 1894, and died at
Rocky, Okla., Jan. 12, 1916, age
21 years, 5 months and 21 days.
She was nnited in Holy Wed-
lock to Roy D. Tale Oct. 22.1913.
God blessed this union with one
child, which found its way early
to the immediate presence of
God. It was said of friends that
theirs was a happy life, they be-
ing very devoted to each other
until death parted them the morn-
ing of Jan. 12, 1916.
Sister Tate joined the M. E.
church, south, at the age of 13
years, at Mountain View, Okla.;
hers was a beautiful Christian
life all the way through, being an
active life, and noted for her
cheerfulness and loyalty to the
church and Sunday School; she
was a mighty factor in leading
the young people of the commun-
ity in church work, being an act-
ive worker when she passed a-
way. She is not dead for she
still lives in the hearts and minds
of those who knew her. Recent-
ly she led in securing the money
that pays for a pulpit in her
church, noble work and some-
thing that will speak for.years of
her work. She leaves behind a
loving husband, father and moth-
er, sister and brother.
The whole town was shocked
because of her death, for they
loved her beautiful life. A word
The bereaved husband desires
to extend his sincere thanks for
the many kindnesses extended
his wife during her illness and
after death.

derer of Antone Jelenik in 1900.
Mr. High was able to prove his
identity by information from
Chickasha officials and relaiives.
Some of the old time citizens of
Mountain View went up to Cor-
dell and identified High as being
a man who worked for Mr.
Craggs in a livery barn in 1900.
