SOOD SEED GAVE
BETTER RESULTS
WLAHOMA’S PROSPERITY FOL-
LOW INTELLIGENT FARMING.
Net So Much a Matter of Weather ai
Care in Selection of Seed and
Methods of Culti-
vation.
Uathrlat Okla.—That the Increased
yield* mt the various farm crops this
year are not due to general weather
conditions, but because the farmers
commenced the season with good seed
In the ground and paid more attention
to the proper preparation cf the
ground and cultivation of the crops, Is
the opinion held by the state beard of
agriculture, as expressed in its latest
crop report. It Is stated that weather
conditions have been about the same
«,« last year.
The reports Indicate more than an
average yield to all products, with the
exception of the corn crop, and In that,
with a large Increased acreage and the
condition the same as last year, the
yield promises to be much larger than
least year. With tbe largest crop of
Itaf'lr cem, milo jnalxe and other for-
age crops In years, and with a hrgtly
tnere.uwd acreage In alfalfa and native
meadow hay out,, the corn shortage
will not bo felt so badly this year as
hurt Oklahoma has already raised
thks year the largest wheat and oats
crop ever produced In the state, at
flattering prices, which will greatly
add to the state’s prosperity.
Do Not Admit Innocence.
McAlester, Okla.—After the dismis-
sal of the. Muskogee town lot cases,
Attorney Rush for the government
says:
‘The government by no means ad-
mitted the defendants were not guilty.
When the trial was postponed la«t
May we were not limited as we are
sow. The decision in the I-onabaugh
case came up in June and it was be
-caase of the views taken In this
decision that we felt we would be un-
able to sustain a case. The suits al
ready have had good results for Rev-
cm and English have since restored to
the government over 100 lots and $40,-

quarters In Denver, Colo.. Is sending

newspapers throughout this state to

those who served In the regular and
volunteer service after the Civil war

Huge Shortage Is Paid.
Oklahoma City, Okla. -As a prac-
tical demonstration of the merits of
the Oklahoma bank deposit guaranty
law, 8Ute Bank Commissioner Cock-
rell, on the first anniversary of the
Columbia Bank and Trust company of
Oklahoma City, gave out a statement
showing that of the $",042,131 owed
depositors by that institution when it
ekmed Its doors, only 6,1 OS remains to
be paid, and this will be paid, says the
oommlaaloBer, when it Is called for.
Cotton picker* Wanted.
Maagum. Okla.-—Greer county, the
banner cotton county of Oklahoma,
needs notion pickers. There is esti-
mated to be over 50.000 bales of cot-
ton ready to be picked, and it Is tm
possible to secure help to save this
enormous crop. If sufficient picker*
can be aecured In the next few days,
notwithstanding the supposed short-
age of the cotton crop, Greer ooun’v
will produce as much or more cotton
than she has lot severed years.
I'nder this heading the Industrial
Democrat proposes to deaf from time
to time with party matters in this
state from an unbiased and unpreju-
diced standpoint, and we would sug-
gest that the membership study them
carefully, with a view to working out
and formulating correct principles for
tarty tactics and party management,
and not from the standpoint of any
individual who might be Incidentally
concerned as matters stand at the
present time, or as they may stand
at any future time.
The basic principles of Socialism
need no safeguarding at the
hands of the Industrial Democrat or
any other publication, but the Social-
ist party organization which Is sub-
sequent to these principles, and which
la nothing more nor less than the
means by which these principles are
to be enunciated and propagated,
should be organized on correct demo-
cratic principles and managed by fair,
broad-minded individuals If the move-
ment in this state is to keep pace with
the movement in other states through-
out the nation.
The experience of the Socialist par-
ty in Oklahoma during the past year
has demonstrated the fact that
changes in tactics as well as in the
personnel of the management Is Im-
perative, and as the time for the next
state convention is near at hand some
definite ideas as to present needs
should be evolved and some concrete
plans formulated to carry these ideas
into effect.
Evidence enough Is at hand to show
conclusively that the present consti-
tution is entirely Inadequate to the
needs. If other evidence were lack-
ing. the mere fact that the constitu-
tion has been ignored in its entirety
by tbe present party officials on the
claim that it is Incapable of legal con-
struction is enough to warrant the
membership in throwing it overboard
bodily and drafting a new one from
the ground up.
The Socialist principle and the So-
cialist doctrine supposes an organiza-
tion democratically managed, where
the membership hRve the say, and not
an organization dominated and domi-
neered by two or three individuals
who may use it as a political machine
and a stock In trade to barter and
traffic with between the old parties
as their own personal and private fi-
nancial advantages may appear Un-
der the Initiative and referendum law,
which we have in Oklahoma, there
are frequent elections and number-
less capitalistic measures to be voted
on. Many of these, in fact most of
them, are non-political in their nature
and involve propositions wherein It is
impossible as well as foolish to under-
take to enforce political alignment.
We do not pretend to claim that It Is
wrong to practice political alignment
on the various propositions, but we do
that the membership should
on the high, broad plain of respecta-
bility where It belongs, and where the
majority of the present membership
Justify it in being These and more
are the questions which will be dis-
cussed in this department In succeed-
ing issues, and we Invite correspond-
ence a’ong this line.

ty Organization.”)
GREAT SOCIALIST INSTITUTION
Comrade C. W. Hallowed of Fred-
erick, Okla., WaS In Oklahoma City
last week socliciting aid for the Ben
Hanford Memorial Mineral Wells
Sanitarium and Orphans’ Home. This
is an institution of which you have
probably beard but little about, but
it Is a very laudtble undertaking and
should receive the unstinted support
of every Socialist In the country.
The Ben Hanford Memorial Mineral
Wells Sanitarium and Orphans’
Home is a membership association
incorporated under the laws of Ok-
lahoma for the purpose of erecting
and maintaining a National Socialist
Sanitarium and Orphans' Home on
eighty acres of land lying two and
one-half miles southwest of Fred-
erick. Tillman county, Oklahoma,
through which runs the ’’Frisco” rail-
road.
On this land is situated very valu-
able mineral wells, the water of which
possesses great curative properties.
Forty acres of this land on which
are located the mineral wells, which
when developer and advertised will
be worth $50,000, is a donation from
Comrades James Watts and wife to
the Socialists of America, and was
given in honor of our deceased Com-
rade Ben Hanford of New York. We
have purchased forty acres more ad-
joining.
This corporation is NOT a stock
company for individual profit but is
a membership association, one dollar
or more, if you are able. Is the mem-
bership fee. From this source, from
donations and from endowment funds
the association proposes to erect
suitable buildings and conduct a sani-
tarium and orphans' home under
such rules and regulations as may
be adopted from time to time.
f
The management of this associa-
tion shall be at ail times managed on
purely Socialistic lines, the officers
of which shall be Red Card members
of the Socialist party.
We have hundreds of unsolicited
testimonials from parties who have
been cured by this great combination
of MINERALS, which is known to
the doctors as the “Happy Family.”
as it acts on the whole system, heart,
liver, kidneys, stomach and bowels.}
on credit on their promise to pay when
their crop* were marketed thl* fall.
Although we had to get out under
the most harraeeing difficulties and
make great personal eacrificea we
realized that the Comrades could ill
afford to spare the money, and so dur-
ing the long eummer months we have
borne the burden without complaint,
feeling sure that when the crops were
marketed that every pledge would be
redeemed and we could free ourselves
roir. debt.
Comrades, the harvest time has ar-
rived and we are expecting you to re-
deem your pledge, and so strong Is our
faith in you tnat we have already
promised our creditors that they ahall
have the money.
This is a email matter to each indi-
idual, but to us it amounts to several
hundred do'lare. So we ask each one
who owes for hie subscription, to send
t in at once, and those whose subscrip-
ions will expire in the near future are
asked to renew, that we may be able
to fight your battles during the coming
campaign.
THE LAW.
“There in no limitation of the time
for commencing a proaecution for
murder. In all other cases an indict-
ment of crime must be found within
three years after its commission."—
Setclon 1873, Snyder’s Statute of Ok-
lahoma.
Four years from Jan, 9, 1911, will be
too late.
The Advocate-Review comes out for
Lee Cruce. We wonder if this settles
the debt to the Ardmore bank?
Some time ago Cruce's bank put in
a claim for some $12,000 for money ad-
vanced.
It is not so strange that the Advo-
cate fb.ds that Cruce Is their candi-
date. Cruce has had lots of experi-
ence farming farmers all right.
