The youth of America should
keep the example of Dewey efore
their eyes ana impress the picture
well on their minds. They can learn
from 1t that everything is possible
in country like this where the in,
dividual must make or mar bis own
fortune. They can learn from it
that he who is faithful over few
things will be given control over
many. They can learn from il that
the world rs always waiting for men
Of serious thonghtand earnest olfort
and that spasmodic brillianey avais
not.
There are thousands Of men who
are endowed with richer gifts than
is Dewey who never make their
marks. Conscious Of their own
powers, they abhor drudgery and
pains taking and are always
waiting for opportunities to exploit
themselves, They are looking for
short roads to fame, for Kohiaoors,
for great tbingo that come suddenly
and which are mastered without
effort. Foolish and futilel Character
is the basis of all success and
character is like the coral reef, slow
and painful Of building, but indies.

JocLeying Uncle sam.

The bank OF Oklahoma at Perry is
working Uncle Sam on his war reve-
nue. stamp law. The law requires
that upon every check issued or pre-
sented to bank it shall carry on its
face a reminder in the shape OF rev.
enue stamp that the old gentleman is
still doing business at the old stand.
The bank, to get around this, issues
receipts instead of checks, thus, as it
claims, avoiding the expense OF the
stamp tax and at the saIse time keep
ing within the law.
The Norman State Bank whose pres
idens is Ex-Governor Renfrow, II is
claimed concocted the scheme, which
is being adopted by many banks, thus
saving considerable in not using reve-
nue. stamps.
The scheme may win out but the ex.
perience OF those who have tried to
jockey the old boy has been that the
whistle is too high priced for perma'
neney.

A motion was made that the bill be
referred back TO the house with the
recommendation that it de not pass.
Speaker Reid opposed the bill saying
there was no necessity for the creation
Of this board at this time. 1t was also
opposed by Holiday, Hadley, Malley
and Ballard. Walls believed the whole
thing a farce, and Clarke said it was to
give political pet job.
Olmstead championed the bill and il
was favored by Van Kirk, Jones and
Koch.
On account of the weakness OF the
minority favoring the bill, a motion
was made by Jones that the committee
rise and ask leave to sit again. The
motion prevailed.

Record Of W. I wigtou.


Record Of W. wiston.
Gu.nrle LgApHn
Rocford, H., January 30--A copy
OF your paper OF the 2tth inst is at
hand giving an account OF what pur-
ports to be the liabilities Of W. I. Wig
ton, who formerly lived here.
A few facts concerning this fellow
may be interesting TO your readers.
Wigton was raised in this county
and has q father here nov who is
highly respected. w J. Wigton had a
good name and reputa ion and taking
advantage IL, he all at once started on
his wild career and bought thousands
Of dollars worth Of everything and
anything that people would take his
notes for, including horses. wagons,
grocery stocks and merchandise, which
he Immediately sold for cash without
regard to the purcase price, thus take
ing in many OF his old friends aud
neighbors who had always known and
trusted him
He was known to have a large sum
of money in his possession when he
left between two days. and nothing
had been heard OF him till now
Judging from your paper he has
found more soft marks in your yicin-
ity, and it is but just that his creditors
should know what a deep dyed villain
he is who is asking TO Le freed from
his debts. II is a pity that the old
fashioned western methods cannot
settle with such men, and / hope the
Guthrie creditors will enter a vigorous
protest against this high handed out
rage.
You may use this communication as
you choose and / will be responsible
These facts can be substantiated by a
large number of his victims here, OF
whom | am one. Yours rcsp'y,
