Muskogee Men Promoting a Big
Project, Which viii Begin
Operations Next
Spring.

Muskogee, l. t., April 21.--
The initiative ras been taken for
the organization of a company
capitalized at S25, 900 to cultivate
potatoes, which has proved a
good money crop in the territory
for the last two years.
While it is FOO late for the COM
pany to plant crop this year, it
will organize, secure the neces-
sary equipment, prepare the
ground and be ready to- begin
operations next spring. Three
hundred acres of the best bottom
land in the territory has been
secured by the company and the
entire farm will be devoted to po-
tatoes.
The land is located on the Ar
kansas river and the products
of the farm will be shipped South
by barges. There is good mar
ket at Memphis and New Orleans
for farm products from this Sec
ton, and as the crop will be
ready to harvest about the time
OF the June rise, the projectors
of the company propose to take
advantage of this to market their
crop, sending potatoes down the
river.

THE Second Ward is the only ward
in Morristown where there is a contest
on local officers, and the result in that
ward will the political status of
the town for the coming year. While
the Democrats claim all the credit for
the surplus in the town treasury no
one can dispute that the Republicans
have done their share in practicing
economy and carefully looking after
the affairs of the town. There is con-
siderable dissatisfaction with some Of
the present conditions and a change in

No one begrudges the Democrats the
satisfaction they get out of claiming
everything good advocated by the Re-
publican administrator was originate
ed by them, and that President Roose-
velt is more Of a Democrat than a Re
publican. From various sections of the
country there come words Of common
dation from Democratic sources. A
Tammany city convention adopts reso-
buttons praising President Roosevelt
for surprising courage, remarkable
tact, distinguished ability and COM
handing influence displayed by him
as the central figure in the greatest
peace triumph Of the age William
Jennings Bryan, twice candidate for
President on the Democrat ticket,
tenders to Mr.. Roosevelt his sympa-
thetic support of the campaign of re-
gulating corporations in general and
railway rates in particular. A former
aSpirant for the Democratic nominal
Jion for President is Internationally
supporting Mr. Roosevelt and saying
kind word now and then for the
principles of socialism. The Massa-
chusetts Democrats commend Mr..
Roosevelt for his services in establish
ing peace between Russia and Japan.
The Rhode Island Democrats indorse
Mr.. Roosevelt's rate-regulation policy.

THERE are six tickets in the field in
this county for the coming election
The regular tickets are the Republi-
can, Democratic and Prohibition. In
addition there have been nominated
by petitions three others, Socialist,
Citizens and Independent Democrat.
The Socialist ticket bears the names
of Charles P. MacFall, of Dover, and
George Hirschman, Jr., of Morristown,
for Assemblymen. The Citizens tick
ct seems to be a continuation of the
Jefferson-Lincoln movement of last
year, and the candidates are: for Sher-
if, Edward Hitler; for Assmblymen,
Tunis Miller, Thomas Mcmahon; for
Coroners, William Henderson, Peer
Lozaw, William Minton. The Inde-
pendent Democratic ticket is a Madi-
son production and bears the names of
the regular Democratic county candi-
dates and several Madison localoffi-
cials. These irregular tickets have to
be printed for the whole county, at
considerable expense, and but few OF
them will be deposited in the ballot
boxes. The Republican ticket meets
the requirements Of all good citizens
and will be generally voted as hereto

They would be on no important com

even if they had exceptional ability,
would simply occupy their seats and
accomplish nothing. There are very
important questions to be settled in

of experience and knowledge OF af-
fairs, who will be found in John M.
Mills and Richard j. Chaplin.

\ WHITFIELD B. CULLEN, so far as we
have ever heard to the contrary, is a
very good undertaken and gives salts
faction to those who come under his
ministrations, at all events they have
made no objections. But what is
there in his business training which
would indicate that he would make
a superior sheriff? That Office re-
quires man Of broad training, famil-
lar with business methods and capa-
BILE of dealing with all kinds Of diff
cult problems, Such an one will be
found in George Shaw, the Republican
candidate. He has had a wide exper-
fence in the management of large af-
fairs and the handling of men thereby
especially fitting him for the duties
of the Office for which he is nominated.
No one acquainted with the men but
what will admit that Mr.. Shaw is bet
ter equipped for the position, and at
the same time is not so self-opin-
donated that he publishes broadcast
that he will take advice from no one.
The sheriff is elected to represent all
parts Of the county and the only way
he can properly perform his duties
particularly in the drawing of juries
is to consult leading men in the var
ious sections and act upon their adj
vice. Vote for Mr. Shaw and have a
sheriff for the whole county and not
sheriff representing himself alone.

PRESIDENT RoOSEy EFT is continual
y adding to tile popularity and regard
with which he is regarded by the peo-
.nle Of this country aud OF the world.
y IS views on all subjects are generally
lesarded as sound and practical, with
.no attempt to make political capital
for himself. This was brought out in
Secretary Taft's speech in Ohio last
week, in which he drew a picture Of
President Roosevelt as standing for
vested rights, for property, for con-
tracts, and for the right Of each in
dividual to achieve the most out Of his
talents and opportunities. Too often
the President has been represented as
a wild animal bent on destruction.
Too often he has been represented as
an advance agent of coniscation. But
Mr.. Taft shows that he is actually
standing for. the system Of private
property and freedom of contract
against the onward movement of So
cialism. The Presidents speeches in.
the south confirm this statement.
The President is not working for revo-
luton, but for evolution. While Bryan
and Hearst and johnson and Dunno
and others are. seeking to make politi-
cal capital out Of the prevailing feel
ing of discomfort against some of the
developments in the financial manage
ment Of the great corporations, and
are talking government ownership and
preaching gospel calculated to carry
the poor against the rich, the Presi-
dent is meeting this onslaught by
everywhere proclaiming his policy Of
" square deal"

FOR ovERsEER OF THE POOR:
GEORGE BOWMAN.

THE Banner is deyoting the
greater part Of its editorial page to
the repetition of the Democratic plat
form AS the editor of that paper
was a member of the committee on
resolutions at the Democratic conven-
tion, he doubtless feels that his rein
forced wisdom was superior to any in
diyidual effort he might put forth so
he is doing the parrot act and repeats
the platitudes Of the platform. When
the declaration of principles of the
two parties are compared it will be
seen that the Republicans are in favor
of advancement in public affairs while
the Democrats as usual are simply OBJ
jectors, the position they have as
sumed in national as we'll as state and
local affairs for the last quarter of a
century. They will never learn that
changed conditions require different
treatment and ii is only the small
minded men who are such Sticklers
for consistency that they cannot
change their minds or policies when
occasion requires Ia order to better
serve the public They might profit
by the remark Of member Of thai
party who, when confronted with hi
previous speeches to show his incon
sistency, said - never have no
never win subscribe to the doctrin'
once fool, always a fool ~ Thi
country is making history al a tel
rife rate along all lines, and the mai
who sits down and expects to win on

gressive, and the people have stood b
