WE CAN'T DO IT, HERR sCHLITz

Those Wisoonslnians who live
about the malt houses of those big
breweries, belonging to II e r r
Schlitz, are now clamoring to have
the battleship Wisconsin christened
with beer instead Of something
stronger, and they have enlisted
the Milwaukee press on the side of
beer, and we are now reading col
umn advocating the beer as the
proper guzzling wash for the prov
of the boat they expect to baptise
to our countrY's honor Now if
Schlitz had sent the city editor a
case of beer along with the marked
copy of the paper, we would have
sharpened our pencil and wrote
several columns of matter showing
that beer was the proper stuff to
waste on the ship in the exercises,
but as Herr Schlitz failed to do this
we feel under no obligations in try
ing to mislead our many readers in
Wisconsin, into the belief that beer
is the proper stuff. 1t does not
matter to us whether Herr Schlitz
dresses the bottle to be used in
gold and silver wire, and have Miss
Stevensons features reproduced in
gold in a medallion or not, it gets
us nothing, and We must be paid for
advocating SO weighty a matter.
AS We do not take any stock in this
boat christening business, in fact
we live where boats do not bother
us much. We shall mail our FRIEND
Herr Schlitz a copy of this paper
that he may know we are not tear
ing our last shirt for hin and his

Texarkana, as a cotton market,
is forging right ahead and we hear
reports from all over the country
and can say that we are paying
more for cotton right here than
other towns that make more pre-
tentions as a cotton market than
our city. We see no reason why
farmers should shun our city with
their cotton for it is proven daily
that they can receive more here
than they do by hauling it to Other
places.

1t Is a fact that a bill was intro
duced in the last congress which
provides that any national bank is
authorized to establish branch
banks without limit in any part of
the country, Some shrewd and sa-
gacious men fear that this is an ef-
fort to create great department"
banks, as it we're, with the object
of establishing a mammoth money
trust and monopolizing the banking
business. 1t is claimed that under
this bill a few of the Morgans and
Sages could create a central bank
with several hundred millions of
capital and then establish 10000 or
20, 600 branch institutions scattered
in every nook and corner of the
country, and by their facilities for
issuing exchange and the immense
resources at their command, could
easily close the doors Of every small
banking institution.

of the contents. The building was

it. Beside the above firm, Morris &

The settlement of the Indian Ter
ritory has been an exception to all
the experiences that have ever oc-
Cured in the territories west of the
Mississippi river. For over 60 years
it has been the continued effort of
the United States to keep settlers
out of the Territory on account of
this country belonging to the Indi
ans; and, Notwithstanding this fact
over 800, 900 whiteIpeople have made
their way into this country and
most of them built for themselves
some sort of a home, and not one
of them can say that he IS the own
er of the land on which he lives,
Many persons have splendid resi-
dences and are fixed up as well as
in the states, where they have war
ranty deeds or patents from the
state. These facts prove at least
two things: first that it is very
excellent country, and very desira
ble to live in, and secondly, that
they have an abiding faith in Being
able at some future time to secure
title to the soil.

Vote early and vote late" is
good advice when not given to any
one voter but to party. A voter
should vote early, at some interme-
date time or late. A party should
begin early and vote late, or keep
it up, at least, until every voter has
voted. In this sense we advise the
democrats OF this county to vote
early and vote late on the 8th day
of November for Hon. I. c. Nc
