The campaign in Oklahoma be-
tween Judge Keaton and Dennis
Flynn for a seat in congress is be-
coming interesting. Flynn prom
ises, if elected, to secure the pass
age of a bill giving free homes
to Oklahomans, and if there is any
thing that Oklahomans like tits
something free. The Democrats
charge Flynn with hypocrisy and
an attempt to beguile the voters
claiming that the Republicans ot
the last congress defeated a bill
giving Oklahoma free homes, and
that they will do it again.

JupeE HENRY, prominent citi-


JUDGE HENRY, a prominent citi-
zen of Kansas City, says the arrest
of young Jesse James ON the charge
of train robbery, upon the bribed
confession of the leader of the
gang, is an outrage. The judge
says: Young Jesse has grown up
here, watched by everybody. Many
watched over him with solicitude
for his welfare, advising him, guild
ing his footsteps in the right, anx-
ious for him to get along and be a
good, clean man. Many others
watched him askanee to see how
soon he would show a tendency to
follow in his fathers footsteps.
Many wished him i'll. have
watched this boy closely. | know
that no boy in this country has led
a cleaner life. He has worked and
slaved and saved, and alone and
unaided has paid for the home in
which he, his mother and sister
live. 1t was his wages that clothed
his sister and paid for her music
lessons. No one ever saw this boy
in a saloon. Who ever saw him
out late at night? Who ever heard
OF him being in Il brawl or a scan
dial? Here he has grown up with
us, his fathers past to live down,
and | say he has shown himself Il
well balanced, worthy boy" Yes,
and his arrest as a train r0bber is
no doubt a malicious attempt to
ruin him, to drive him into crime.
His father was made an outlaw
was driven into crime-by like
treatment.

The Ardmore Bulletip. in 4


The Ardmore Bulletin, in o
lengthy column article, boasts of
the fact that democracy has never
created an issue or advocated q
reform that is not now a tenet of
the republican party, and defies
man to prove otherwise. If there
Is any honor in the distinction
claimed-that of having assirnila-
ted all the doctrines of its political
adversary-the Republican party
and the Bulletin are welcome to it.
-Pauls Valley Enterprise.
1t is little strange that the Bull
letin would boast of its party steal
ing Democratic platform principles,
but this isn't any more than what
all political parties that have ex-
listed in America have done. In
this the Democratic party has
been the great reform party of the
country since the days of Jeffer-
son, and will continue to be. If
it doesn't succeed within itself of
overthrewing the gold standard
policy, it will force the Republican
party to do it, for the history of
that party shows that it will do
anything to hold power.

SENATOR FORAKER, the firebrand
of the Republican party of Ohio,
who is called Little Breeches" by
the Democrats, scores the McKin-
ley administration, and says the
garrisoning of Cuba will not be
tolerated by congress; that the is
land should have freedom; that
the maintenance of an army in
Cuba after the peace treaty has
been signed may be regarded by
the Cubans and by foreign nations
as an act tantamOunt to a declara-
ton of war. He says all of this is
in open and fragrant violation of
the resolution passed by congress
recognizing the independence of
the Cuban republic; that the reso-
luton declared that the Cuban
people are and of right ought to be
free and Independent" He fur
ther says: AS soon as the Span
iards shall have withdrawn and
peace shall be declared the powers
of the president of the United
States will have been brought to
an end and he will have no more
right or authority to maintain an
army in the island than to main
tain an army in any other friendly,
free and Independent country, un-
less congress in the treaty of peace
shall give him additional authority
to that effect

BE HONEST.

The father who sends his boy
out into the world with the advice,
Get money; get money honestly
if you can, but get money is but
advising him to travel in the broad
road to ruin, 1t is hard at best
for the best of us to do right at all
times. 1t is hard to deal justly
and be honest. 1t is hard to pull
up stream, to breast the current,
to contend with the storms; not to
look to. the right nor to the left,
but travel in the straight and mar
row path of duty and right. Our
nature is carnal and our hearts are
prone to think wrong and do
wrong. 1t is easy to float with the
tide-tO go with the crowd, to do
as the world does. But oh! how
hard it is to face the world and do
right, be absolutely honest and
Just. The boy who starts out in
the world to make an honest, hon
orable man has no easy task. 1t
will take all the manliness of his
nature TO do it. but the reward is
worth ii. What is sweeter than to
feel and know that you have dealt
honestly and justly with your fel-
lowmen: that what You have has
been made honestly-that no widow
or orphan is suffering hardships
and privatiOns as the result of
your rascality and injustice, that
no man, woman or child can justly
charge that you have defrauded
them out of cent. To our mind
this is happiness. Clean hands, an
honest heart and a feeling void of
offense, hatred, envy and malice
for any living man or woman is
the best religion, the safest pass
port from earth to heaven. 1t is
worth all the money in the world.
Yet the living of such a life does
not necessarily mean that you shall
be poor. Some of the best men
we have ever known have been
among the wealthiest. Some of
the wealthiest men that ever lived
in America are numbered among
the greatest philanthropists and
humanitarians-grand, no BILE
hearted men, pure in life and char
acter, big brain and heart. You
don't have to be dishonest, you
don't have to be mean and cruel
and overbearing and selfish and
grasping to make money. Don't
be honest because it is the best
policy, but because it is right, be-
cause it is manly, because it is
God-like. The noblest work OF
God is an honest man, and the
boy who would rather be honest
than rich will be rich before h
dies.
