Tne assumption Of the Billups Booze
Bill crowd is that the officers throughout
Oklahoma are not doing their duty. This
is not true in Craig county nor in Vinita,
and the chances are that it is not true in
many other counties in Oklahoma We
challenge the whole state to show a bet
ter governed city than Vinita, or a more
efficient set of officers than has Craig
county. The imposition Of an impossible
task upon public officials is unfair and
hurts, not only the reputation Of the Off
GERS, but the whole community

VOTE DOWN

Il is really wonderful with what tenaclty
the friends Of the Billups bill are holding
on TO the vain hope that the people will
write that legislative freak into the funda-
mental law Of Oklahoma at the coming
election. The latest endeavor is that it is
part Of the democratic policy and that
the party is going to stand or fall before
the people on that issue.
It is nothing Of the kind. II is ques-
ton of social economies and is outside Of
politics. Il is an ineffective method Of
curbing an evil that every decent man Of
all parties wants to curb. The charge that
those who oppose the Billups bill are in
league with the saloon elements beneath
the dignity Of even casual notice. Nobody
but wild-eyed extremist would make
such a charge
The facts are. the whisky people are
satisfied with the Billups bill, because
they can beat il in the courts. Some one
or other of It's vagaries have been knocked
into smithereens in nearly every county
county in Oklahoma already during It's
brief day Of probation. If it won't stand
the test Of the courts, il is folly to write it
into the state constitution.
Again. the friends Of the Billups bin

Why ! an a PfChibiliOlISt.
Ex-Governor Aycock.)


Why am | a prohibitionist? Not
to take any right away from you,
but to see that you don't take my
rights away from me. 1t is not to
find out whether another man wants
liquor sold, but whether you want it
sold. You talk of"personal liberty"
The retort is that when you force a
bar-room on me you take away my
liberty. l am not voting for you;
am voting for myself.
What does prohibition mean? 1t
means a people calmy, judiciously
sacrificing their appetite upon the
altar of their children's uplift. The
people like liquor will say eve"
like liquor. Suppose we do. That
is the test. 1t wouldn't cost any
thing to give up something we didn t
want. 1t would not be worth any
thing, it would give no power, no
grace. How does people become
great? BY gratifying their passions
aid appetites? Nay, but by sacrific-
ing them.
Point out the boys who are going
to make this greater, a stronger
people, and you will see them willing
to forego their appetites and their
passions for the privilege of enjoying
the glory of tomorrow. AS with
the individual, so with all the boys
and girls, as with them the State.
No State ever grew great except
through the willing sacrifice of ap-
petite.
We don't build monuments to dis
tillers and bar-keepers. If they are
good things. they ought to be COM
memorated. Suppose man should
undertake to get up collection Of
that sort--how much money would he
get in this country? Not red cent.
Bat, if he should find the record of
an earnest, quiet, pious man going
about all the days Of his life seeking
to better his fellow-men; if he should
fad that when the yellow fever
came, he stayed and fought with
death at close range, and died of it
himself, he would raise the money
for that monument because the story
that it stood for would appeal to the
best that there is in you.
But liquor appeals to the worst.

Care OF Farm Machinery.
(Selected.)


Good reasoning tells US that Their,
are but two times during the yea
that farm machinery needs any spe
cial care. First, when it is in use
Second, when it is not in use.
One season without shelter vii
damage farm machinery more thar
the wear caused by its use during the
season. The action Of the weather
which will cause rusting of the iron
and steel AS we'll as the rotting Of the
wood parts, will seriously interfere
with the working of the machine
when it is again put to use. By this
exposure certain parts are very much
weakened and the machine becomes
Of shorter life.
When the seasons work with a
certain machine has been finished it
should be thoroughly cleaned and all
parts that are liable to rust should be
carefully wiped with oiled waste or
an oiled rag. 1t is good idea to coat
these parts with either tallow or a
good grade of axle grease.
After carefully putting away the
creased parts, the implement should
be stored in a shed Of some kind,
rather than be left in the opon.
The farmer who takes proper care
of his implements not only houses
them and keeps them in good adjust
ment, but he paints them occasion
ally. Paint closes all cracks and
keeps out the moisture. 1t not only
preserves the wood but the iron parts
are benefited as well. 1t also gives
the tools a much better appearance.

Henry Grady on IntempeFaDCc.

The late Henry W. Grady, one Of
the most brilliant men the South has
produced, left on record some Of his
best sayings against the liquor traf-
fc. Let the following will be read
and needed by every voter when he
deposits his ballot on prohibition for
North Carolina on May 26:
There is no cottage humble enough
to escape it, no palace strong enough
to shut it out.
1t defes the law when it can not
coerce suffrage.
1t is flexible to cajole, but merci-
less in victory.
1t is the mortal enemy of peace
and order, the despoiler of men and
terror of women, the cloud that
shadows the faces of children, the
demon that has dug more graves
and sent more souls unsaved to judg-
ment than all the pestilences that
have wasted life since God sent the
plaques to Egypt, ana all the wars
since Joshua stood before. Jericho.
1t comes to ruin, and it shall profit
mainly by the ruin of your sons and
mine.
1t comes to mislead human souls
and to crush human hearts under
its rumbling wheels.
1t comes to bring gray-haired
mothers down in shame and sorrow
to their graves.
1t comes to change the wife's love
into despair and her pride into
shame.
1t comes to still the laughter on
the lips of little children.
1t comes to stifie all the music of
the home and fill it with silence and
desolation.
1t comes to ruin your body and
mind, to wreck your home and it /
knows it must measure its prosperity
by the swiftness and certainty with
which it wrecks the world.
