than dealing with strangers.
We have been here for many years
and know the values and will make as
liberal loans as any one.
satellites of the Hon. Jim Harris of Wagoner county, and his op-
ponents who wanted a new oil producer named McGraw from Kay
county to have that doubtful honor. Expensive headquarters have
been maintained in Oklahoma City and thousands of dollars have
been expended in the effort to capture voters to the State Con-
vention and delegates to the national convention, which has the
last word in the selection of a Republican National Committeeman.
In the Democratic party there are two or three candidates for
National Committeeman, but the campaign has developed none of
the violent and dangerous divisions that have been brought about
in the Republican ranks. The Democratic candidates are all good
men and the party will reap an advantage in the service of any
of them who shall happen to win the contest.
So far this is the only evidence of a competitive race that
is to be decided by the State Convention which meets in Oklaho-
ma City, on April 11th, 1916. Others may develop, but if they
do they will be decided without the strenuous personalities and
disreputable tricks which each faction in the Republican party
is now charging to the other.

Speaking in regard to good work in the last legislature re-
minds us that two of the most influential members in the upper
house were the members from this district—C. L. Edmonson, and
C. F. Barrett. They stand high in the estimation of their fellow
members and on all questions of right and wrong were ever found
on the right side. No district was better represented than the
Pottawatomie-Lineoln District.

The Tulsa Democrat makes the point that in allowing them-
selves twenty cents per mile for traveling from their home to
the National Capital Congressmen are following a custom that
was established when they had to travel by stage coaches. It ap-
pears to us that this is absolutely unfair, and the farther a Con-
gressman lives from the National Capital the more money he is
able to make out of this proposition. A fair way would be to do
as the State of Oklahoma requires of its officers and employees—
make an itimized statement of all traveling expenses, and then
pay it.

A few of the Republican members of the late legislature
have felt it their duty to muckrake the legislature since their
return to their various homes Those were the men who general-
ly speaking, tried to block all good legislation. A great number
of Republicans, however, acted in good faith while in the legis-
Jature and since their return home have had many good words
to say for the work accomplished. We are glad to note that
aamong the Republican members who did not allow their partisan-
ship to stand in the way of their duty were Ed Keegan and Jake
^Sab’.Oudil, of this county. Both of these men did splendid work in
the legislature and are not knocking on at now.
The Republican members of the State Legislature got to-
gether somewhere and prepared a most pathetic and sentimental
resolution, endorsing State Chairman Geissler of that party for
his splendid service and sacrifices on behalf of the party during
the Legislative session. It will be remembered that during the
strenuous latter days of the special meeting Mr. Geissler and the
“member from Osage” came together and as a result Mr. Geissler
was quoted as being unconscious for a period qf time.
Generally speaking, there isn’t much the matter with Mr.
Geissler, except that he has developed a weak heart and a very
lurid imagination. There can be no question of his unexampled
activity against the Democrats during the session, and when the
Republican members of that body attempted to pay him off in
such debased coin as the watery resolution which they had pub-
lished in the Oklahoman, we feel that Geissler ought to have
"bucked up” and come back at them in the language of Villa, the
outlaw, who, when a committee of patriotic partisans presented
him with a medal and a bombastic resolution telling what a great
man he was, made this reply. “That’s a H—1 of a poor little medal
to offer to as great a man as you say I am.”

A nation is made great, not by its fruitful acres, but by men
who cultivate them; not by its great forests, but by the men
who work them; not by its railways, but by the men who build
and run them. America was a great land when Columbus dis-
covered it; Americans have made of it a great Nation.
In 1770 our lathers had a vision of a new Nation “conceived
in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are cre-
ated equal.” Without an army they fought the greatest of exist-
ing world empires that they might realize this vision. A third
ot a century later, without a navy they fought the greatest navy
m the world that they might win for their Nation the' freedom
of the seas. Half a century later they also fought through an
unparalleled Civil War that they might establish for all time on
this continent the inalienable right of life, liberty and the pur-
suit oi happiness. ’ A third of a century later they fought to
emancipated an oppressed neighbor, and, victory won, gave back
Cuba to the Cubans, sent an army of schoolmasters to educate
tor bberty the Filipinos, asked no war indemnity from their van-
quished enemy, but paid him liberally for his property. Mean-
while they offered land freely to any farmer who would live upon
and cultivate it, opened to foreign immigrants on equal terms the
door of industrial opportunity, shared with them political equal-
lty, and provided by unibersal taxation for universal education.

When General Villa slipped up to Columbus, N. M., and mass-
acred the inhabitants lie undoubtedly knew that he would be fol-
lowed by an attachment of the United States army Little did he
think that it would result in such a wave of resentment as to
cause a whole army or so much as is necessary to seek his capture.
He expects, of course, to hide in the dense forests and mountains
of Mexico, but the United States army has one attachment which
he perhaps forgot to take into consideration, and that is the
aerial attachment. General Pershing lias with him the aeroplanes
that were formerly at Fort Sill, and they can fly all over these
mountains and locate Villa’s little band and signal the army the
location. In fact they will act just like hawks in the air. This is
the kind of an enemy General Villa has never met.

It is true that the last legislature was called upon to make
additional appropriation to carry on the fight in the courts in
which the railroads are attempting to repeal that part of the En-
abling Act which provides for a two cent passenger fare, and
the rates on freight fixed by the Corporation Commission. We
want to say to our readers frankly that if the legislature was call-
ed upon to appropriate a like amount once every three months
the people of this state could well afford to pay the expenses be-
cause as long as these cases are in court the people are enjoying
a two cent passenger rate and the rates on freight fixed by the
Corporation Commission, and this savek to our people many times
the cost of conducting this fight even should it prove to be a los-
ing fight; but Prince Freeling and his helpers believe that we
are conducting a winning fight. The people who croak against
this appropriation are those who are often classified with those
who endorse “Saving at spiggot and wasting at the bunghole.”

After Four Years of Discouraging
Conditions, Mrs. Bullock Gave
Up in Despair. Husband
Came to Rescue.
Catron, Ky.—In an interesting letter
from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock
writes as follows: “I suffered for four
years, with womanly trMbias, aaf daring
this time, 1 could only sit up for a little
while, and could not walk anywhere at
all. At times, I would have severe pains
In my left side.
The doctor was called In, and his treat-
ment relieved me for a while, but I was
soon confined to my bed again. After
gut, nothing seemed to do me any good.
I had gotten so weak I could not stand,
and I gave up in despair.
At last, my husband got me a bottle of
Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and 1 com-
menced taking it. From the very first
dose, I could tell it was helping me. I
can now walk two miles without its
tiring me, and am doing all my work ”
If you are all run down from womanly
troubles, don’t give up in despair. Try
Cardui, the woman's tonic. It has helped
more than a million women, in its 50
years of continuous success, and should
surely help you, too. Your druggist ha*
sold Cardui for years. He knows what
it will do. Ask him. He will recom-
mend it. Begin taking Cardui today .
