Will Clark: People in the north
are wonderfully cautious about small
pox. Down in Oklahoma it is preva-
lent to a considerable extent but
nothing is thought of it. Children
have it and continue going to school
right along. Why, when | vas at
Oklahoma City not long ago met a
friend of mine in a drug store whom

shook hands with. him. He was hav-
ing a big batch of medicine put up
by the druggist and | inquired what
in the world it all meant. He in
formed me thai he had Is sick folks
out at his house and that all were
down with smallpox. Further in
formation enlightened me upon the
fact that he was keeper of the pest
house. But slight restraint was kept
over the inmates.

It Benefits the Town.

A merchant sometimes stops his
advertisement in a paper because ne
can't see nine dollars coming in for
every one he pays out. says an ex-
change. He doesn't seem to think 1t
is of any benefit to him or his bust
ness to live in a town with a good live
newspaper in it. A good Newspaper
IS a benefit to a town the same as a
school or a church is a benefit. 1t
advertises and builds up and %enlivens
a town and keeps it from being for
gotten. There are only two things
in this world that a man is really COM
PEELED to have-food and clothing.
He is not obliged to support a church
nor a school nor a newspaper. lie
a use his W discretion. In the
heart of Africa they have none OF
these institutions yet the people live.
Sometimes they eat each other. They
don't want a newspaper. If they did
they would have to support it. No
business can live without patronage.
The man who thinks that every time
he pays out ten cents for an inch
space in a newspaper he should get
fourteen new customers has but a
poor conception of the benefits to be
derived from supporting a good live
newspaper.

Some Why's.

Why does a man with unclean
hands so often pose as a great r
former?"
Why is it that people are always
suspicious of the fellow who continu-
ally asserts that all other people are
corrupt?
Why is it that a gambler is fined
$500 and $rapist goes scot free?
Why is it that a woman can walk
the streets all the afternoon, attend
the club at night, but is too delicate
to look after her household duties?
Why is it that a newspaper IS, by
some, V recognized as of worth
until they have an obituary notice to
publish?
Why is it that so many will hold
up their hands in holy horror If the
bows steal a watermelon and think
themselves cute if they can steal a
ride on the cars?
Why is it that people will make
themselves miserable and oftentimes
poor by looking for a more genial
cline?
Why is it that parents who meyer
visit the schools find the most fault
with the teachers and school board?
Why is it that the person who is
the least charitable over the sins of
others is generally the first to yield
TO temptation?

1T Is well known that since the in
auguration of John Walter Smith as
Governor of Maryland the legislature
has been Democratici in both branches.
In view of this fact the following
statement from the lips of Governor
Smith becomes interesting reading:
In my judgment the legislature, if
convened in extra-session, should con-
fine itself to the passage of the tax
levy and then adjourn. If any other
matters are taken up, it will be like
opening the floodgates, and a session
of thirty days might be upon us, 1Cith
oil ats attendant eDiGS and dangers.
In the light of what has been claim
ed for the Democratic party by Gov.
Smith, and his political associates, it
is hard to understand why he should
call attention to the "evils and dan
gers which a Democratic Legislature
is likely to infiict upon the people.
But unfortunately for the people they
have been afflicted with these Demo
cratic ''evils and dangers for years,
and will be, so long as they keep the
present Democratic machine man
ayers in power.

A WELL-ADvANCED movement is on
foot to raise funds for the erection of
monument over the grave of General
B. F. Kelly, and an appeal is made to
the public, West Virginia in particu-
lar, to contribute. Captain Thomas
H. Mckee, journal clerk of the House
of Representatives at Washington, is
one of those who is promoting the
project, and in a circular just issued
it is set forth that the grave of Gener-
al Kelly is practically unmarked; that
he was the first Union officer wound
ed in the Civil war; that he COM
manded the army which fought the
fist battle after the declaration of
war, and that his services to the gov
eminent were such as to merit greater
recognition even than he received.
To see that his grave is properly
marked is declared to be the least his
surviving comrades and friends should
do in respect to his memory. The
movement will doubtless be fayorably

the following very sensible letter to a

Ne1US:
1t is quite interesting to read the
accounts of the s4rbor Day exercises
in our public schools but in my judg-
ment we do not catch the full mean
ing of the observance when the pupils
only indulge in the reading of essays
on the subject of tree planting, and
do absolutely no hing in a practical
way. President Soper is reported to

WHATEVER may be said to the
credit or discredit of Governor Smith,
as Democratic politician, it is GER
tain no Governor of Maryland ever
got ahead of him in calling extra SEES
sions of the legislature, and it is quite
as certain that no future governor,
no matter how ambitious he may be,
will ever attempt to pluck from his
noble Democratic brow any of the
laurels which he may wear as a com
pound duplex extra session Governor.
