might think it is" he said, and he pulled up
another chair to rest his feet on.
"Pve been running the Weekly Moose since
the day after the strip was opened" he con-
tinued. Giving off public printing. doing
nicely. and running real estate and insur-
ance business on the side.
"But speaking of circulation" he went on.
reminds me of an epoch in the history of the
Moose. AS l have intimated, the public print
ing is the thing-I might say it is the life of
journalism in many Oklahoma communities.
This public printing consists chiefly of the
notices of publication of settlers In making
proof in support of claims. They are given out
by the Register of the Land Office. WE'LL they
changed Registers on me when things were
going along smoothly, and a little, narrow
chested down-Easterner got the job. One of
the first things he did was to switch
the printing around. There were two other
papers which used to divide the business of
our section with me, but when this little pink
nosed foreigner got into the Office he gave the
whole thing to one paper. 1t was not long till
the Moose began to feel the effects of this de-
spoliation. Well, the Moose and our esteemed
contemporary, who was also left out in the
cold, trained editorial broadsides on that Reg
lister till l almost lost confidence in the power
OF the press. Finally he gave evidence he was
hit by printing reply in the contemporary
which was getting all the patronage Before
doing it he hired couple of sneaks to go and
work on the Moose and the other
lonesome contemporary. 1t was a politi-
Cal trick he had brought out from
the East. He said in his reply the reason
why he did not give any advertising to the
Moose and our other contemporary was be-
cause the circulation of those two would not
justify him in doing it. Then followed affi-
davits from these two sneaks. One of them
swore the circulation of our contemporary was
seventy-five copies. The wall-eyed sneak who
had worked for me- setting type and running
the press for three weeks, made an affidavit
that the circulation of the Moose was sixty
seven copies by actual count, free list and ex-
changes included.
''Was it the TRUTH" asked one of his auditors.
"WeH, supposing it was" he said, pulling
his Feet of the extra chair, and there was
CLEAN in his eye that caused his auditors to
straighten up and draw their chairs closer
"That amt the point" he went on. ''While
was oiling my gun the Coroner came in grin
ming, and knew was too late.
"Weli, haven't had any trouble with Regis
tiers since, and, as 1 said, the Moose is doing
nicely with public printing. But felt cut up
over that affair for q good while. You see, our
esteemed contemporary didn't have as good a
case against that Register as l did by eight
