The enterprising implement firm of
Bowsher & Biddison believe in the old
adage ''the early bird catches the worm"
and following it they greet THE REpoR-
TER readers with a large advertisement
on page three, which is chock full of
seasonable bargains. The spring work
will soon be on our farmers and they
should prepare for it by buying such
implements as they will need the COM
ing year in advance of the time when
they are ready to use them. Don't
wait until you want to use new pillow,
harrow or .cultivator and then lose Il
days time when you ought to be at
work in the field coming to town to buy
a new outfit of implements, but make
your purchases now and be ready to
work when the weather permits. Bow.
sher 4 Biddison conduct six big imple-
ment houses'in six good towns, enabling
them to buy everything in car load lots,
thus saving in both price and freight
rates and are in this way able to make
lower prices than any competitor.
Look over the list of bargains they adj
vertise this week.

Now the voters Of Oklahoma are
told to- their teeth that, unless they
vote the Republican ticket, they can
not be admitted into the union as a
sovereign state.
The men, who thus seek to advance
their party's cause, have not taken
into consideration the metal Of which
free born American voters are made.
They do not realize that men, who
would snccomb TO reasonable argu-
ment. can not be driven at all by

Of Oklahoma voters The Democracy
cheerfully accept the challenge, well
knowing that they will receive the
support Of those whose nature revolts
against Intimidation and that these

The threat is merely blum but u
will be called so hard next November
tbat such un-American tactics VIII not
again be resorted to.
Those who find it in accordance
with their political ideals to attempt
the intimidation of the voters of Okla
homa are not the men who can be
trusted to formulate the fundamental
laws of a new state. Their ideas are
erroneous in the fundamental princi-
pies of self government. They attack
the untrammeled exercise of popular

governments are erected.
The man who viii succomb to this
threat stands at par with the man who
