The grea> county division ele«'<rn In portions of Lincoln, Creek and
Payne counties takes place today. The promoters of the new county.
Shaffer, which Is to be made out of territory from the counties above
named, are highly elated over the prospects of success, while the old
counties are putting up as stubborn a fight against the dismemberment
as they can under the circumstances.
W« can be said to be fairly well started now into 1914. Most of us
have learned not to write it '13. The first real estate transaction has
been made and recorded; the first marriage performed; the first divorce
granted; the first building permit issued; the first arrest made; the first
baby born. There seems to be no other honor to be claimed. The only
■thing that remains to be done ts seriously to set ourselves about making
of this a memorable year.— Ex
Funny things sometimes happen >ven tn a print shop. One day this
week a minister visiting us while here asked another guest what his
religion was. The question was rather unexpected, but the answer was
equally unustal. He said: "I am one of those kind of Christians that
casses when he gets mad and pray* when he gets scared." We cant say
much for the brand of religion, but he ts not alone In this big old world.—
Sallisaw Star-Gasette.
Pactlcally all authorities unite in pointing out sound reasons for times
to improve here as well as elsewhere. Nothing ts gained by a denial that
times have been hard since 1907. Business conditions have not been be-f
low normal all the time during that period, but through crop losses, tight
money markets and other cause* conditio; 3 ' 'ave been unfavorable. It
1* time for an upward movement. The crop outlook, and that is the real
basis on which the hope for better times must be founded—la better than
It ha* been for years Good crops will increase railroad earnings and
incline tile people to grant a reasonable advance In freight rates if that is
needed to maintain wages and a fair return on the Investment, and with
the railroads and the farmers busy and prosperous, every other line of
Industry will soon be in like condition. The new tariff bill and the ne*
currency law will both help in the readjustment, but It will take a good
crop or the immediate prospect of on* to give things the right start, and

Senator Bristow, of KuntiS. stirted out as a Progressive; in fact
he couldn't have been elected five years ago in Kansas if he hadn't
been for tariff reduction and other progressive policies, but he drifted
over to the reactionaries during the discussion* on the tarifl hill and
the currency bill last year and vote) against both these measures Con-
gressman Victor Murdock also becime a progressive but be was sin-
cere and he voted for the I'nderwoodtariff bill and the new currency
bill, and as a result the progressive-^ rty in Kansas has dropped Bristow
and i booming Murdock for the former * place in the U. 8 senate
All of which proves that a man-\ever ought to weary in well-dolag
and that when a politician getsjtarted on the right road he ooght
to be careful about turning off nto a blind alley.

An eastern missionary writes to the press that K is very hard to
do anything for the Indians la Oklahoma, because they are so wealthy.
This is an important admission coming from way back east, a ac-
tion ot country from which the Indian's forefathers trekked with mighty lit-
tle of value except their *calp locks and a burntng de*lre to get as far
a* possible from the clas* of "missionaries" and "friends'" whose seal
for his welfare found It* strongest expression in getting his hunting
ground* and hi* "goat* generally. To a western observer there t# no-
thing *urprlstng about the Indian * shynees toward these eastern philan-
thropist*. It Is largely through their Influence in congress and for-
mer administrations that the capable Indian Is *till a ward and a depend-
ant on the government, when he i* fully capable of handling his own
affairs and taking care of the money whk-h the development of the
country has brought him.

National Bank ot Commerce
atlon last week, pointing out in that distinguished Jurist's most convinc-
ing w ay the beauty and cumulat . e Joy of holding non-partisan elec-
tions for Judges, from justice of the peace to Justice of the Supreme
Court. The Idea met the instan approval of everybody but the reg-
ular democrats, and as they are In the majority it 1* not likely that
a v extra elections will be called for the purpose ot giving the "min-
ority" a political chance to win a fe.w offices on a non-partisan plea.
Judge Burtord was for many years a dyed-in-the-wool partisan,
one of the disciples of the old Oliver P. Morton-Benjamin Harrison In-
diana stripe, and while he Is one of the finest men personally, in the
state. Col. W. P. Hinds of the Hugo Husonian wants to kMw when he
was converted to the non-partisan creed, having been for so many
years a virulent partisan.
We cannot give the exact day ot his conversion, but feel certain
It was during last year s legislative session that the first symptoms
were manifested. The judge was one of the eight republk-an-bull
moose members of the state senate, and there were thirty-six democratic
senators. In the early days ot the first session. Congressman Joe B.
Tuompson. then a state senator, saw fit in one of his forcible, forensic
fliguts to designate "the gentlemanfrom Logan county" as the spokes-
man ot the Republican party. Senator Burford, rising to a question of
personal privilege, denied the soft impeachment and asked to have the
"opposition T" to the democrats named in future proceedings as the
"minority " And it was so ordered. It is possible then, that Judge
Burford's conversion dates from that occurrence, though it is probable
that the Idea first took form in hi* logical and weU-trained mind when
he looked over the election returns two years ago and discovered what
a hopeless minority his party was in and what a darned slim chance
there was tor a republican to get anywhere in Oklahoma without
adopting some kind of a political alias

THK THI TH WILL DO *0 HI RT
Those Oklahoma newspapers that
are trying to convince themselves
and others hat this country raised
a good crop last year are putting
on a foolish stunt. High prices
made the crops we did raise measurt
up in value to the production of an
ordinary year, but the trouble is,
there was no surplus of anything
but cotton. When a farmer only
raises enough corn, wheat, oats, po-
tatoes and hay for home consumption
high prices do not help him much
and they are a positive blow to the
town man and the non-producer. A
full crop means a big surnlus to sell.
It means lower prices to the non-pro-
ducer It means employment to la-
or. freight for the railroads and a
>om for all kinds of business and
a full crop or anything that looked
like a futl crop is just what Okla-
homa has not had for some years.
It is true that this si*®. owing to
its advantage of other states in length
of reason and the ability to grow a
lafrge variety of crops has never had
anything like a total failure and thee-
fore much better off as ar whole than
some of her neighbors, but it is also
true that nothing is to be gained by
setting up the claim that crops last
year were good and that the farmers
of the state are wallowing in plenty.
We are about as optimistic as anyone
can be in this country and not be class-
ed as an unconscionable liar, and w§
I are getting the major part of our en-
couragement and rosy views from the
almost certain prospects for a real
; good crop this year and our knowledge
j of what a good crop will mean to all
j the people, and all the cities and
| towns of our lusty young state. It is
just as well to tell the truth about
things that have happened and parti-
cularly about things that we couldn't
help.

New York, Jan. 6—The body of Miss
Jess is E. SicCann, the young set'Ne-
meni worker who disappeared from
her Brooklyn home a month ago, was
given up by the sea Sunday. It was
found by a wj'chman shortly after
noon Sunday on the shore driven up
by the heavy surf from the storm.
Long immersion had made the fea-
tures unrecognizable, but indentifica-
tion of the young woman by her fam-
ily was made possible by a signet
ring with the initials, "J. E. M.," and
by articles of clothing Miss McCann
wore the day she disappeared.
Miss McCann was last seen by her
family when she left her home De-
cember 4 supposedly to attend to set-
ement work in the United States.
A few days :ater her father, a well-j
to-do business man. notified the police
of her disappearance and offered
$1,000 reward for information as to
her whereabouts. He also had her
photograph thrown on screens of mo-
tion picture theaters throughout the
east.
The police Sunday gave credence to
the story of a woman who asserted
tha\t she saw Miss McCann the day
after her disappearance near a bath-
ing pavilion at Coney Island, where
the body was found. There were no
signs of violence on the body, accord-
ing to physicians who examined it
and the police have no clue as to the
manner in which she was droned.
