IT'S ALL RIGHT

You are mistaken, Old Croaker, the times are
not entirely out Of joint even if SHAKESPEARE did say
So There are not half as many things wrong as
you think. The world ism t half as wicked as you
imagine in your hours Of anguish.
Don't worry about it the thing IS all right come
out Of the dumps and take saner view. tThere &
nothing good ot i'll but thinking makes it so'-
that's New Thought which is very old thought.
There are more honest people than you adj
init and there's more good even in the very bad
folks than you see if you don't realize this there
something radically wrong with you and you'd bet
ter be finding il out Anyway, you would better Be
cultiyating more Of the spirit Of human kindness
and charity in your own heart, than spending your
days and nights picking flaws and fancying rascality
in your brother Mlstrust your own goodness and
give the other fellow the benefit Of the doubt in
stead Of putting yourself on pedestal Of perfection
and looking down on the rest Of mankind as lQnaves
and thugs
1t is true that there are few parts Of this world
machine that don't run as smoothly as we would
like; they may need some fixing, but we are not
going to admit that to you. We are just going on
saving wood quietly giving the saw swipe with a
bacon rind occasionally when it sticks and we will
contend to the last that it is good saw and an
excellent piece Of wood. We II get the stick sawed
off TOO just quickly as the fellow who is crssng
the saw and the wood and will get bit more Of
pleasure and satisfaction out Of the operation
Why even the weather is all right! It's a mighty
good thing to have; dreary place would be the
earth, existence would be intolerabe without wealth
er-giye the weather boost
But why go farther9 The whole show is all right
the town, the banks, the business, the people
give 'em boost
II you can't think So the only thing for you to dc
IS to take few life size pills before retiring and you
will get up with better taste in your mouth.

MAKING A MODEL CITY

Il is perfectly apparent, in the marvellous out
burst of civic pride and town building enthusiasm
that has stirred Chckasha to its depths new ideal
Of municipal development has been born
A. city is not merely workshop or place in
which to buy and sell, but primarily place to live
Business is the basis because the bread and butter
proposition is the first one that must be met, but
il we stop at bread and butter, there is very little
moro excuse for us to continue to reside on the
earth than there is for the ordinary lower brute
Fortune getting may furnish satisfying activity for
certain grades Of humanity but the nermal man
wants something more He wants to live in the
most comfortable and pleasant way; he wants to
get some enjoyment out Of life and he tries to
surround himself with the conditions that minister
most to bis comfort and enjoyment
That's why we are trying to build decent, res
pectable city; that's why we are willing to spend
our money On the improvements that make a model
city Paving, sidewalks Libraries, pretty homes,
churches, schools and the like are not luxuries, but
necessities for welLordered city life 1t Is no dis
grace to a man to wear ragged garments if he can
afford no better, but the well dressed man feels
better and thinks more Of himself-he doesn't re-
gard decent clothing as luxury
But while the improvements that we have set our
minds upon contribute to making the conditions of
life more pleasant it is not to be supposed that they
are without commercial significance 1t doesn I take
long head to figure out that the investments we
are making will pay ample dividends as a business
proposition. The enhancement Of property valua-
tons the increased attractiveness Of the city to the
man who wants to invest money compensate for the
outlay we are making
70 make Chckasha model city for residence as
well as for business is the ideal that should be kept
IN view can be done by the united, persistent
efforts Of our citizens

cation argued lor the appropriation. but Bird Me-
Gaire sat through the debate dumb as an oyster
10 was clearly shown by the Oklahoma democrats
that congress bad appropriated funds to make up
deficiencies ia the convention and election OF the
last four territories admitted but the precedent cut
no ice with the republican majority, who could
only remember that Oklahoma had gone democratic
and must be punished for such impudent effront-
had been appropriated in the election bill for these
expenses, but the republicans said nothing about the
fact that republican election board had spent over
half Of this sum on the election for constitutional
delegates
Representative Carter plainly told the republicans
that if they persisted in such pigheaded policy the
state would roll up a democratic majority about
twice as large next time viii Be remembered that
certain republican leaders fought am appropriation

MEXICAN BADLY WOUNDED
 IN STABBiNG AFFRAS

Word was received from Leadville that serious stabbing affray had occurred at that burg today says the Tombstone Prospecor. A number oi Mexicans were celebrating the na- tional independence day and some mis understanding arose between a MeN' can named Gonzales and country man, whose name was not learned Gonzales stabbed the latter and fled The condition of the wounded man IS very serious and it is believed he will not live. Gonzales recently served a jafl sentence in Tombstone and the officers were notified to look out Tor him. Particulars of the affray are meager.
