OKLAHOMA.

good land" If half of Illinois We're
added to Iowa this state would cover
a little more territory than Oklahoma.
We could dump Maryland. Connecti-
cut Delaware. Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, New Jersey. Vermont,
Rhode Island into Oklahoma and leave
SPACE enough to set in half of In
diana. The taxable property is over
$500 100000. The prosperity of this
new country is indicated by $3S,000,000
Of bank deposits.
This showing is remarkable from the
fact that savings are slow in accumu-
lating in new region that demands
a vast amount Of capital for it's de-
yelopment. This prosperity, moreover,
is not based on a get-rich-quick ex-
ploitation of natural resources, such as
timber or metal mines. 1t is due al
most entirely to solid agricultural and
industrial development. The state has
5000 miles of railroads, tapping vast
deposits. yet undeveloped, of coal, lead,
zinc, granite and oil. Its coal lands
are already producing 100000 tons a
year. One million four hundred thou
sand acres of land have been set aside
for school purposes, valued now at
$57, 900, and the federal government
has added to this $5,oOO,ooo to provide
for the Indian schools.
The moral tone Of Oklahoma
is shown in part by it's pro
hibition of the liquor traffic.
It's intellectual average is so high
as to shame some of the original east
ern states Taken altogether there is
no reason why the most jealous cham-
pion Of traditional standards of citizen
ship and statehood should scorn the
claims of Oklahoma.

"Huck" FINN AND HALLOWEEN.

The Tama Herald is ready to bar
Mark Twain's two classics, "Huckle
berry Finn and "Tom Sawyer" from
public libraries. According to the Her
aid, "a small boy called at the public
library Saturday afternoon and asked
for .Huckleberry Finn and Tom Saw
year. volunteering the information to
the librarian that he was getting in
formation for use on Halloween The
Herald concludes "If there are books
in the library that make Tama boys
any worse on that night they should
be taken from the shelves"
Now this won't do The Herald Is
advancing a theory that will cause
trouble all along the line 1t would
eliminate the Bible If some woman
with mechanical tendency and
grudge to feed were to read up on
the history of Jael with view to get
ting pointers on the peculiarly effect
i've style of nail driving to which that
historical character is reputed to have
been addicted. It would bar ancient
history which is largely the relation
of such deviltry as "Hucll' and tom"
and modern boys and men never
dreamed of. The ancient heroes had
their faults. Even good scriptural
characters like David were open to
criticism. Suppose some matrimonial
ly inclined modern were to make .
special study of Solomon's family az
fairs with view to getting useful in
formation on bigamy? Does the Her
aid seek to put out Of general crcu-
lation the ancient men who relate with
gusto their deeds of emprise on Hal
lowe'ens that have been history for
three quarters of century? Are all
good stories to be barred and cakes
and ale be no more because boy
with turn for research sought among
the annals of his forbears for aid in
his celebration of holiday that has
become more honored in the breach
than the observance? The Herald's
scheme would put Carnegie out of
business, except for his side line of
hero medals. and that has not grown
to an extent TO occupy the energies of

"In case Of danger or death any
priest whether duly qualified or not,
may assist validity at a marriage pro-
vided there be two witnesses. But one
of the most notable features of the
new law is this: If the parties who
intend to get married find it impossible
for whole month to have the pres
ence of the priest or the ordinary, their
marriage will be valid simply by their
formal declaration of consent in the
presence of two witnesses.
Finally the new law binds all Cath
olics, and heretics and schismatics who
have apostatized. The law comes into
force next Easter, and it is to be con-
sidered as lawfully promulgated thru
out the world from the mere fact that
copies of the decree have been sent
to all the ordinaries.''

writer as follows:

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Iatimer. Oct. 19.-All of us are very
,o,,cb inclined to belittle the services
of the doctor and the effect of his
medicines but just the same we drop

ANYTHING seriously the matter WIN thls

may seem. when n doctor finds that
disease has a hold on him, he asks tor
the advice, prescriptions and medicine
frequently of disliked rival. But when
we'll. how these doctors love one an
other. especially those of different
school of medicine Not long ago this
scribe, in conversation with a young
up-to- date physician, was told OF an
other doctor in the same town, that IN
one month had lost seven patients
from blood poisoning That called to
attend a case of blood poison, this doc
tor actually innoculated six other pa
tents, by the instruments used in the
first case. And all seven patients
died.
Here is another reported case that
comes to the writer, vouched for by
relatives of the patient. The case was
so desperate that a council had been
held and the attending physician was
endorsed by the council. The next day
this doctor came as usual and left
three or four kinds of medicines to be
given the patient as directed. After
he left the house the professional
nurse IN attendance plainly told the
relatives Of the patient. that such
medicine was entirely wrong. that
she would not give any of them
to the patient, that if such rela-
tives wanted said medicines given to
said patient, they must get another
nurse at once and she would drop the
case After a consultation of rela-
tives the medicine was thrown in the
fire. the nurse remained, the doctor
called next day. found his patient do
ing we'll, left more medicine which also
went into the stove. The patient soon
became convalescent, the doctor still
thinks his handling of the case was

mind and medicine over matter, the
nurse swells up with pride because she
saved the patients life, the family are
supremely happy because the sick one
