HOBART, OKLAHOMA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1005
TIME TO SELL.
Cotton is on the decline again. When
tho price of that staple begins to soar,
tho farmers generally become <xcited
and hold for still higher price.--. While
•pots Friday were 12 60 and cotton was
telling on the local market at II..">3,
many refused to sell, holding for 16c
and 16a. They may be able to get it.
but the old adage, ' A bird in the band
is worth two in the bush," applies to
cotton as well at to everything else.
There is no bettor time to sell prod-
ucts than when it can be done at a rea-
sonable profit, but getting some people
to see it that way is a different matter.
The element of chance there is in holding
nut for fanc\ prices is so overpowering
that many are blinded by it to their own
injury; and when there is a considers
ble fluctuation more farmers -ell un the
low market than on the high. They
usually become cxcited ovei the out-
look for the increase acd let the best
markets pass and then afterwards -• !'
at whatever price they are olfered.
The price of cotton is still abnormally
high, and every f rm r in the county
would do well to throw bi9 crop on the
market at once. He is certain of his
profit by selling now, hut if he wait* a
while longer it is at least probable that
he will take les than he is now offered.
GIVE HIM SIFPOKT.
Next Tuesday is the date for the bond
election. Don't forget that a 'arge vote
will aid in floating the bonds at a pre-
mium. and a small rote might seed them
below par.
The McGuire statehood bill, a* intro-
duced, comes nearer meeting the uni-
versal approval of Okiaboman* than
any other m>a ure that has ever been
placed before congress. It is fair to
all, and does not in any manner seek a
partisan advantage. Consequently all
can conscientiously support it, and all
are doing whatever they can to aid him
in the gnat struggle that is now on.
Mr. McGuire is to be congratulated
up' n his persistent cff> rt to have an
enabling act passed, and his fight h.t-
been aurh as to win for him the confi-
dence of tho people. No one else <.-ould
have done better or accomplished more
than he has done within the past two
years, and n> « is the time for all to
join h'tn in the struggle acd support
him while he battles fur freedom.
The pit schemes that some wou'd
like to have engrafted on the bill in
the way of amendment- ebould be di.-
couraged. fur they would tend to delay
and even defeat the bill. Let it go be-
fore congress stripped of all supeifiu
ities that would ia any way delay ac
tion. Support the Delegate in bis
fight, but do not handicap him with
frivolous amendments to his bill.
Before outlining national political
platforms for tne next presidential
campaigns, wc might wail to see woat
congre-.- d ies t th" railroads.
Wet weather has been the cause of
(suspending work on tl;< public build
ings. It sremt impossible to have xore
than one good ttrng at a tine.
Tomorrow will determine whether or
not the people of Hobart will take a
step forward or backward. It will de-
termine whether we are to put the
waterworks plant on a paying basis, or
whether w;* will suffer it to be operated j
at a loss to the city of $1,8% a year.
8o far but littla or no interest has
been manifested in this important elec-
tion— so little in fact that no more than
one-third of the voters of the town took
the trouble to register, and as a result;
the vote, if all who have registered go I
to the polls, will necessarily be small.
However, every registered v.ier should |
feel it his duty to vote, to make certain i
that the issue carries.
Tbe extension of the water mains;
mean* mor.- to this ciiy than any other j
improvements now being considered, I
with the exception!, of course, of the 1
Orient railway. It means a saving to
the city of at least SI,$00 a year, to say!
nothing of the convenience it will be to
the people wno are now denied water,'
owing to the distance they are from the
mains. It will affurd protection against
fire. The best resident portion of town ]
has no tire protection, but they have to I
pay their share ci the taxes justth;' same
as if they were near the mains
Thi- is unje.-t and inequitable; hence j
all should be willing to spend thirty,
mint'tes at the polls in order t correct j
t{ie wrong and to a-3ist those who are
deprived of water in securing it. To-
morrow in the day to afford this relief,
and if you fail to vote you do your neigh-
bor who i- off the main- an injustice.
Oo vote, and don't forget it.

The ' Statehood Special" got off for
Washington Wednesday evening on
schedule time and all are now moving
on t ward the national capital, Before
leaving Oklahoma City the delegates
were organized and took action along
the line of state rights that will be
asked fr<.ai congress. The principal
object in view is statehood and all are
expected to work to that end as long as
they uiay be useful in Washington.
The members of the party come from
all parts of Oklahoma and Indian Ter-
ritory. mo-ily, however, from the latter.
The Indian Territory contingent ara en-
thusiastic for joint statehood and have
plenty of argument at command to
show why it should be granted. In
fact, both territories are anxious for
tbe union at an eariy date. The dele-
gation as a whole is composed of tbe
most representative citizens of the
towns from which they come and will
certainly have some influence on the
national congress when they are pre-
sented.
They are to be presented to the pres-
ident in a bod;., a,so to Senator B?ver
idge and Speaker Cannon imm-rliately
after reaching Washington.
It is the wisn or- a',1 hat they may- be
able to accomplish the results for which
they have gone, and it is beliewd that
their visit will promote the cause for
which they undertook tbe journey.
FIGHT WILL COME.
j But for New Mexico and Arizona an
enabling act for Oklahoma and Indian
: Territory would pas- before the holi-
I days. In fact but for them we would
j have been admitted to statehood before
! now. They are, however, factors that
j have to be considered along with tbese
! territories, and, doubtless will keep us
J out of the fold for several months
j longer.
k is believed that owing to the
friendliness of President Roosevelt for
Oklahoma and Indian Territory that,
if tbe omnibus bill should fail to pass
be will use his influence with the
congress to have an enabling act b;r
these two territories pasied before ad
joornment. But we may expect along,
hard fight over tbe omnibus bill, be-
cause it i3 tho desire of congress to dis-
pose of all these territories at once.

says a maprity of the people of both

In an interview he said. ' Many prom

favor of prohibition but they object to

The First Requisite as Beauty.
The first requisite of beauty is e clear
compleiion. Orino Laxative Fruit Syr-
up clears a sallow, blotched complexion
a9 it stimulate? the liver and bowels,
and the eyes become bright and clear.
You owe it to your friends to take it if
ycur complexion is bad. Orino Laxa-
tive Fruit Syrup does not nauseate or
gripe and is very pleasant to take. Re-
fuse substitutes. JoneB Bros.
New York barbers are forming a trust
and the prospect is that many men will
find it easier to raise whiskers than the
price of a shave.
La Urippe and Pneumonia.
Pneumonia often follows la srippe but
never follcws the useof Foley's Honey
acd Tar. It cures la grippe coughs and
prevents pneumonia acd consumption.

fuse any substitute offered. G. Yacher
of 157 Osgood street, Chicago, writes:
"My wife bad a severe case of la grippe
tnree years ago and it left her with a
terrible cougo. She tried a little of
Foley's Honey and Tar acd it gave im-
mediate relief. A 50 cent bottle cured
her cough entirely. Refuse substitutes.

An exchange says:
'A Wiburton young lady slipped on
a banana peel a few days ago and broke
ber leg. Hero is something else to

What, the slip, leg or the banana
peel?

her eyes what she rants for a Christ-

est dolls in the town. The largest and
