A Railroad Free Library.

To provide instruction and enter
tainment for it's section men, their
families and their neighbors, the Har-
riman lines have established unique
circulating library. Through goo dis
tributing centsrs, 4,e60 newspapers,
magazines and books are now regular
ly supplied every week to readers liy-
ing along the company's lines.
The paper labels marked Free

where periodicals are something of a
rarity One letter says:
I'VE have three little children at
our home. We are in very out-of-
the-way place, where our CHILDREN
never get to school or Sunday school,
and any books or papers suitable for
children are highly appreciated. To
people who insist on having next

THRlFr AND ECONOMY.
Right Thinking Necessary TO Great
est Success in Every Field Of
Endeavor.


Economy is one of the essentials to
success. 1t matters not how great
ones earnings may be, If there is no
pennies laid by, there will be no
counting of dollars to your credit.
From childhood children should be
taught lessons OF thrift, and the value
OF saving. There is a difference be-
tween economy and stinginess, There
is an excess which defeats the aim,
and 10 the cause Of loss and misery.
That economy which prevents the
farmer from spending money to prop
erly house his stock during the win.
ter, is paradoxical 1t Is a saving OF
dollars and the loss OF dollars by the
saving That so-called economy
which prevents the consuming of fuel
in winter, which results in cold
house and sickness In the family, and
perhaps death, is niggardly stingi.
ness, which is criminal. 1t is the saw
ing of a few dollars In the coal bill.
and paving perhaps hundred or more
to the doctor or the undertaken. There
is no economy In cheap things gen
orally. A bit of machinery that is
needed about the farm should DO the
best. A cheap, poor moving machine
from some mail order house may
break down when 1t is needed the
most, and result is the loss of tons
OF hay several times the value of q
good machine. Poor articles wear ou;
rapidly, and are likely to give out
at a time when most needed, and are
continual source OF expense. A poor
breed OF stock is another illustration.
Poor bony horses eat more than well
bred ones, and the latter always find a
ready sale, while the raw-bones cannot
be disposed of al any price The same
with hogs, sheep, and all classes of
domestic stock. A poor lot Of ami.
mails should be gotten rid of as soon
as possible. They are expensive and
1t is poor economy to keep them.
1t is ia looking after the saving OF
penny and being blind to the dollar
that could be gained that is the trou
BILE with many. Savages have ne
idea of economy. They cannot fore
so q small pleasure for greater one
y little farther off. II is the ability
to think ont these matters that make
the civilized man superior to tho bar
bariaa. Thiah, Don't get tired OF
using the reasoning brain that good
Providence has given you. Tho
secret of knowledge is In thinking, anG
TIE power to make comparison. One
OF the drawbacks of many schools is
the teaching. the examining of rules
and facts without combining with
tRem the Importance of cause and ef
feet Teach enc to think. and he will
soon be person Of no mean knowl
edge. 1t Ia the thinker who wins In
life, and en- the farm, in the workshop
In the sters. anywhere and every
where, whore brains are needed, you
will End 1t is the active, keen and
careful shiaksr whe ferges to the

A Lesson 10 Henry Asp

II Il - be hoped that the riot Henry
Asp stirred up in Muskogee in his op-
position To Governor FrontZ and state
ticket for the republican party will be
a lesson to him. The people feel the
the same way in every part of ihe two
territories about his dictation of Tie
republican politics
Mr., Asp has never known public feel
ing. He is busy man in his office at.
tending to the du lies of his company
and seldom mingles among the people
When lie has had polital measure
70 desired put through the power of
corporation behind him has made most
men he delt with sycophants and he
has usually succeeded
But .hingc have come to such pass
during this statehood campaign that
whom Mr.. Asp fights he assists and
whom he assists he defeats And this.
not because he is Henry Asp. but be-
cause OF the present attitude Of pubic
opinion on corporate influences in
politics.

A. c. Midkiff.

In our official announcements this
week appears the name of A. c. Mid
kif of Boyd as candidate for Repre-
sentative of Beaver County to the
State Legislature. Mr. Midkiff is wtll
known to the voters Of the County as
an intelligent, educated and honorable
man and if he is nominated by the
party he expects to make the race on
his own merits and not on the demer-
rits of his opponent should he be the /
possessor of any as he believes these
slanderous and vilIfying campaigns
are injurious to the party, unrepuoli-
can in principal and results in no good |
to either candidate.
As to his qualifications he has taught
26 terms of school, has good recomen- |
dation from the State Normal School
well acquainted with the laws of Okla
homa having all the sessions laws ex-
cept one in his library
He'has taught the Contitution of the
" Dllta Gidlts anu the CDDeJlluilpI VI
three individual states and he is ready
to tackle the proposed one for Oklaho-
| ma when the Democrats get through
| jugglering with it and arrange one
compatible with the best interest of
the people.
As to his politics he thinks no sane
man doubts his loyalty, the principals
of Republicanism, yet he accords every
man the same privilege regardless of
his own political affiliations.
He is past master Of county organ
ization and this is the first time he has
asked for raise in honors or salary
and is not candidate of any particu-
lar person, faction or creed but of the
entire Republican party and if elected
expects to represent Beaver County
To expediate time he takes this
method to introduce himself to the
people as he has not the time to visit
each home and shake hands with the
entire population and kiss ali the
babies with true candidate gallantry
