THE COMMONER
m. Brynn's Paper.

The CommOner has attained within
six months from date of the first issue IA
circulation of 100, 600 copies, a record
probably never equaled in history of
American periodical literature. The un-
paralleled growth of this paper demon
strates that there is room in the news
paper field for national paper devoted
to the discussion of political, economic
and social problems. To the columns
of The Commoner, Mr.. Bryan contrib
utes his best efforts; and his review of
political events as they arise from time
to time can not fail to interest those
who study public questions.
The CommOner's regular subscription
price is S1.00 per year. We have ar
ranged with Mr.. Bryan whereby we
can furnish his paper and the weekly
Democrat together for one year for
sl.50. The regular subscription price OF
the two papers when subscribed for
separately $500.

ANOTHER FLOOD
REPORTED COMING
Story of a Four Foot
Rise of the River at
Mountain View.
REACH HERE TONIGHT
River Said Tc Have Raised Eight
Inches Last Night. More of
the Flood.
REACH HERE TONIGHT

1t is rumored that the river rose
eight inches last night. AT all
events it Is going down very slow
ly and will stop all traffic from the
north part of the county for at least
a week or longer. It's impossible
for the railroad track to be repair
ed under a week or ten days and no
one can say how long it will take
to rebuild the two railroad bridges
between here and Fort Cobb which
went down under the rush of wat
ers.
Six men who drove from Noun
tain View, leaving there Saturday
noon, reached here yesterday after
noon, stated that just before they
left, four foot rise had reached
Mountain View putting the river
up higher than the first flood.
They paid man $50 to put them
across the river and they seemed
perfectly honest in their statement.
If true the wave will reach here to-
night and will put the water COM
pletely over the tracks from the
took yards to the bridge. We ave
naturally averse to believe the re-
ports Of floods and yet we had no
faith in the reported rise of Friday
until the water rose seven feet III
thirty minutes. 1t is impossible to
secure telegraphic COMMUNICATION
with Mountain View so we must
either accept or reject the story and
we are inclined to believe it true.
Word came in this morning that
in one place up the river a few
miles, over twenty head of stock
were found dead, piled up against
a strong barb wire fence, This
number will be swelled into hun.
dreds when it becomes possible to
get the news all along the river.
The heavy cables which anchored
the wagon bridge were all that
saved it from going down.
Old settlers state that it is th,
highest water ever known in th,
history of the country. The fooC
is universal throughout Oklahoma
Several bridges are gone on the
Choctaw among them being tn
one at Bridgeport. Every brldg
but one in Klngfisher county wa
swept away. Loss of property will
run into the hundreds of thousands
One incident of the flood her
deserves special mention: Coffee
Parker and Ed. S. OConner wer
constructing a boat and when the,
heard that seven people were in th
tops of trees in the flooded district
they Immediately rushed the worl
> to completion launched the boat
Mr.. Coffee brought the first cou
pie to shore. 1t WAS old job
, Resnor and crippled wife and the
/, were profuse in their thanks t
4 these three brave gentlemen. Th
4 river has backed up south of thi
: city and shut off all communication
from the south east.

An unknown writer offers the
following good advice. IF your
neighbor Is prosperous, let him
prosper. Don't grunt, growl or
grumble. Say a good word for him
and let 1t 90 at that. Don't be a
knocker. Your turn will come. No
mar is the whole show. IF you see
the town is moving along nicely,
feel good about 1t. Help things
along: shove little Push. Try TO
get some of the benefits yourself.
Don't stand around like a chilly
old cadover. Don't waste your
time feeling sore because some fell
low has little more sense than
you have. Do a little more hustling
yourself. Don't be knocker.

The Cleveland Leader very truly
says that In any term of ten years
or more the anthracite coal COM
bine undoubtedly does more than
any other trust:sto embitter public
sentiment and breed the sort of pol
itical extremists who may yet
cause no end Of trouble In the
United States, if they are to be
multiplied by extortionate and law
defying monopolies. Once in a
while some other business "com'
bine" may bring down upon Itself
especial wrath. as the beef packers
have done this spring. but the coal
monopolists grind multitudes every
year. The effect of their greed is
felt keenly by many millions of peo'
PIE every year, and 1t is well known
that they have broken State and
National laws, 1t spirit and doubt
less In letter, by creating and main
tanning virtually complete monop
oily of very important part of the
fuel supply of the fuel supply of the
American nation. This insures the
coal combination first place in pop
ular dislike and Ill will. The time
may come when the men who are
responsible for the conduct of min.
Ing comp anies and railroads In the
anthracite fields will not think the
hatred they have earned Is a joke,
though 1t probably seems so now.
