BRYAN ON
FREE SPEECH
“Some years ago I heard a
man explaining that freedom- of
speech was given, not that peo-
ple might say things that were
pleasant, but that they might
say things that were unpleasant.
“I believe that freedom of
speech is as essential to those
who are criticised as to those
who criticise. I once had an op-
portunity to speak to one high in
authority in a country where
freedom of speech was denied,
and I made an argument in favor
of freedom of speech. I told him
that those in authority needed
the aid of those who wanted to
criticise, even more than those
who wanted to praise; that those
who praised might conceal the
truth, but that those who criti-
cised were more frank than those
who praised, and that a good ru-
ler ought to be glad to have the
defects and faults of his adminis-
tration pointed out that he might
correct them. 1 have lived to
see a number of things I advoca-
ted taken up and advocated by
those who called me all sorts of
names because I advocated them,
and I will not conceal the fact
all his detractors. Bryan has
been branded as a liar by his in-
feriors time and again. He has
been abused like a pirate for do-
ing his duty; but with a courage
sublime in its righteousness he
has pursued the undeviating
path that led to civic virtue.
AN APPEAL TO
COMMON SENSE
Count Leo Tolstoi, in a mes-
sage to the world, appeals to the
good sense of the people of all
nations to refuse to serve as a
soldier, either voluntarily or un-
der pressure. He asserts that
killing, even by a soldier, is
criminal. This is becoming a
popular sentiment, and the peo-
ple are learning that the man be-
hind the gun is not only an in-
voluntary criminal,but the invar-
iable recipient of all the hard-
ships and suffering attending
his service as a soldier and is
never the beneficiary, if any, re-
sulting from it. Spread this
knowlege and the problem of un-
iversal peace will have been
solved.—Ex.
that I find a great deal of pleas-1
ure in being able to walk on the
main streets of a number of cit-
ies which were not entirely safe
a few years ago.”

This paper is edited by the
one whose name appear at the
head of its editoral column. The
editor writes every article not
signed by another. He does not
clip article after article from the
Daily Oklahoman and other daily
papers and not give credit for
them, as you will notice the Gim-
let man does. That fellow would
not recognize an editorial, politi-
cal or otherwise, if he met it in
the middle of the big road.

We are reliably informed that

we will get a depot soon. This

I to get the thousands of dollars

Rock Island by going to Sayre
and Doxey instead of coming ov-
er the new line here. They will
not be interested in townsites,
but will cater to the trade terri-
tory and give us sidings, a depot,
and any thing else in reason the
business men of Carter ask of
them.
POPULATION OF THE EARTH
Human Race Shows Enormous Growth
Since Days of Constant War-
fare and Pestilence.
The population of the known earth
at the death of the Roman emperor
Augustus, about the time of the com
mencement of the Christian era, was
estimated by Bodia, an Italian statis-
tician, at 57,000,000. The Romans
knew nothing of Asia beyond the In
dus river and nothing of Africa save
the Mediterranean states. But the hu-
man race in early times was engaged
in constant warfare, and it is record-
ed that the temple of Janus, which
could only be closed when Rome was
at peace, was shut at the time of the
birth of Christ. But not only was the
population of the earth decimated by
incessant wars, it was devastated by
terrible epidemics of disease which
swept over every country, so that in
1492, at the time of the discovery of
America by Columbus, the population
of Europe was placed at 40,000,000. To-
day Europe has ten times that num-
ber, or 400,000,000 people, with about
100 to each square mile.
Mrs. Eva Wells was,-the happy
winner of the handsome $7.50
locket and chain given away by
the Van Bnren Concert and Vau-
diville Co. last Saturday night.
Toward the last the contest was
quite warm, and the hearts of
of the contestants were quicken-
ed with excitement and expecta-
! tion, but the hopes of all save
; one were necessarily in vain,
j This contest was for the most
popular ladies, votes being given
j with each purchase of medicine
■ or soap sold by the company.

The ink called the blotter an old
soak, then the fight started. The ruler
got her foot In it, inch by inch, and,
instead of helping her out, the stamps
stuck to the envelopes and let the pen
holder. The keys were in a bunch, so
the pencil lead them away and let the
paper weight.
At this stage of the battle the paper
knife stepped in, cut out the fight, and
silence reigned supremer.—Judge
