TWO METHODS.
In the forthcoming campaign for the non:
nation of the democratic candidate for governor
two political methods will be noticeable. There
is the old time method of taking the voters bv
storm with the “whoop 'em up,” method. Then
there is the straightforward method of telling
he people just what they can expect of the can-
didate in event of his election. No excite-
ment, no ballyhooing. Just acting toward
the voters like they were men capable of think-
ing for themselves.
The former method discredits the voter of
being able to use his own judgment in his se-
lection. I he latter method affords him the op-
portunity to study the candidate and what hi
•'epresents. It is the logical method. The peo-
r Oklahoma are of good education and abl
to draw their own conclusions. The endorse-
ment of a lew henchmen or the torch-light
parade will not influence the majority. Tlicv
will vote for their own choice.

iHige race uots, the one some years ago at the
state cacital, Springfield, and the one not yet
definitely settled at East St. Louis. Why were
these race riots brought upon these Illinois
towns ?
Laws of the state of Illinois place the negro
upon the equal with whites- Even social
equality is tolerated by the statutes of that
state, like some other states.
A law, in order to be effective, must have the
support of the people whom it governs.
In the first place white people will not tol
crate social equality with the negro. They are
willing for him to have trade and economic
equality, and will assist him in getting it. In
the second place any race of people will demand
what the law allows them.
Northern people have been strong in their
condemnation ol lynching? of negroes in the
south. But they had bettr gieve themselves a
with the"guilty ^ the innocent tlies along
I lie separate social standards for negro and
wmte in the south have been made fail to th
negro. White people have to stay out of the
colored section of street ears and other public
conveyances and places. The greatest negro
tm. world has known in the present age, born
i eared and educated in the south, was never
trainmed t0 nde in the “J'm-crow” section of a
let Yhlm TLth wavts to gi,ve the negro a chance,

educate the black among the black, let him ex-
pand among his own people.

OKLAHOMA’S GREATEST CROP
Planters of Oklahoma who expect to market about
' 00,000 bales of cotton in a few months are not in a
mood of despair as they were some years ago when the
pr.ee of cotton indicated no profit to planters. The
owner of cotton acres this year is in a joyful mood; his
time is occupied in computing how much money he
will have if cotton sells at 25 cents, a price that in form-
er years would have given the Oklahoma farmer a taste
of affluence, the like of which he had not even dream-
ed.
If there be no shrinkage in Oklahoma cotton and we
are able to market 900,000 bales, as indicated by reli-
able forecasts, the planters of Oklahoma will add to
their bank accounts many millions of dollars. Should
llie price of cotton average 20 cents, our farmer friends
.vho raise the fleecy stuff will be able to walk up to
‘ne receiving teller’s window and lay down about *90,-
000,000. If cotton brings 22 cents, then the Oklahoma
planters will be able to increase the state’s bank deposit
oy about $100,000,000. But there are a lot of people
who look for even better prices and some of them pre-
set values anywhere between 25 and 30 cents a pound.
he 2o-cent price will add to the resources of Oklaho-
r.ia planters v sum approximating $112,OCr| 00.
Regardless of what kind of a range prevails in cotton
prices the producers are on the eve of a marketing
penod which ,g to bring them finaneial rewards for
which they have waited long and patiently.
Interest in the cotton situation is not confined t.
, ycal,s cr<’P- Since conditions promise to enrich the
Planter from the 1917 yield, the same planter looks
ahead to 1918 and following years, wondering if the
same acreage or increased acreage is to bring him the
best returns,
*n government estimate on the cotton crop this
year based on conditions June 15 is 11,633,000 bales.
Ibis is about 183,000 bales more than last year’s actual
crop, and 441,000 bales more than in 1915 The great
1914 crop was 16,133,000 bales. This year 34,600 000
acres are planted. This is 2,000,000 *-s less .an act
nally harvested from a year ago, and around 5,000,000
less than for the 1915 crop. The great crop of 1914 ha.,
an acreage of 36,882,000 acres. The largest acreage
ever planted was in the year 1913—37.098 000 acres. The
crop that year was 14,156,486 hales.
The world is short of cotton. Stocks afloat and in
Liverpool are about one-half of what they were a year
ago and less than one-third of 1915. Germany is said
to he practically* without cotton in its raw form, ex-
cept for a small supply which the central empire gov-
ernments are conserving for munition purposes. Every
day the war is destroying large amounts.
The estimated yield of 11,633,000 bales makes this
ic third year of a short cotton crop. An interest
mg statement has been made, that under these circum
stances, if thc-e had been no war, cotton would have
been selling higher than its present price. The war
nas created an abnormal demand for cotton, which ha-
c set the cutting off of Germany’s purchases here but
now the submarine campaign is making it hardly pos-
sible to ship cotton over, because of the pressure for
needs*0' Wh‘th ‘S insuffick‘nt to carry more urgent
,The ktf' stock of American cotton in Liverpool i,
.tider .iOO.OOO bales, or four weeks’ consumption The
I.ntish board 0f trade estimates the stock of cotton of
a I kinds in Liverpool and at the mills at 700.000 bales.
nless cotton can be gotten across the Atlantic it
would seem impossible to avoid complete idleness in
I he English cotton manufacturing industry.
Cotton is Oklahoma’s greatest crop. In 'some year
planters and their families. But the low prices have
become ancient history, and Oklahoma’s greatest crop is
ouitc certain to bring profits in harmony with the mag-
mtude of the cotton-raising industry of our state.--

Be Careful of What You Eat!
_
Do not take any chances. This is a time
of war. German spies and agents are busy
everywhere. They have even gone so far as
to sell court-plasters containing disease
germs. What assurance have you that they
will not try to contaminate your food? Be
careful.
Do not buy any food of peddlers of any
kind. Make your purchases of your local
grocer and you will be safe. He buys only
irom reputable wholesale houses, and knows
that his goods are pure and wholesome.
A great epidemic of disease in this coun-
try would help the kaiser more than millions
of bullets. It would strike at the very heart
of our nation. Don’t say it could not be done.
They have done in in other countries and are
trying to do it here in our own United States.
Every day the newspaper,? have stories
of the work of these agitators. They will
do anything from placing rocks in threshing
machines to poisoning food and then send
peddlers out to sell it to Americans. They
will offer it to you through the mails at great-
ly reduced prices. It is dangerous!
^ ou know your local grocer personally. He
lives among you. He is guarding your
health. Nothing but the purest of foods are
allowed in his store. He sells for a legiti-
mate profit and he does his best to serve you
the best. He is entitled to your trade, and
will give you the best to be had at right
prices.

home. Take his advice.
