What makes the Kilkenney spirit
which pervades the air in every State :?
While II is slow. hard work to stir the
Republicans and Democrats up to the
old bellicosity of Presidential years in
the different States, the Republicans are
seeking the blood of Republicans with
Il viciousness only equaled by the venge-
full disemboweling of Democrats by feI-
No State is exempt,
and every day brings news of a fresh
outbreak of consanguineous riot. Last
week the Democrats of Missouri and
Idaho pulled off State conventions, with
identical results to those of the Re-
publicans in Iowa and West Virginia
and the Democrats in North Carolina,
Indiana, Tennessee and Texas. The de-
feated factions charge bribery, intimi-
dation and the steam roller on the sue
cessful faction. and breathe schism, sui
fur and slaughter against the victors.
Wherever the Republicans are rent the
Democrats are in sore division, and no
prophet. nor yet the son OF a prophet,
can tell the end thereof.

There should be some sort of a regu-
lation compelling people who publish
recipes for the misleading of others to
try them first on themselves. For ex-
ample, here is a recipe that is going
the rounds for removing grass and
weeds from walks:
Boil two pounds of arsenic and four
pounds of sal-soda in six gallons Of
water: To every gallon of the boiling
mixture add three gallons of cold water,
and sprinkle 1t over the walks while il
Is warm"
This would probably remove the grass
and weeds. and also all the chickens,
cats. dogs and incidentally the small
children.

There is soreness in Mr.. Bryan which
may be assuaged or may grow into a
chronic pain over the failure of the
New York and New Jersey Democrats

an idea that they can make much

Bryan, with the self-confdence that
has never failed him, is eager to lift
his voice "in the enemy's country"

The Republican rainbow chasers who
are talking about carrying some of the
Southern States for Taft are chillingIy
reminded how much gush there s.as
over Mckinley in Atlanta and else
where. with hosts of Southerners ex-
pressing their determination to vote for
him. The year before the Democratic
majority in Georgia was only $4,000,
and there seemed to be some promise
of carrying the State for Mckinley in
1900, but when the votes were counted
the Democrats had $4,000 majority. We
would not like to say that a Southern
Democrat has to be born again before
he will vote the Republican ticket, but
it Is something like that.

candidate for the Republican Party or

the voters of the party to compel their
Bo-called leaders to renominate him.

WHISKY IN OKLAHOMA.

The report of the State Dispenser in
Oklahoma invites puncturing full of
holes. He says that in s. days he sold
s3,S11.SS worth of whisky and alcohol,
which had cost the State s7,437.96.
The most astonishing thing in the
report is that the State paid s3s2 a gall
Ion for whisky, which it afterward sold
for $3.50 gallon. If the State Dis
penser paid that price for whisky, he
was an easy mark indeed The best
advertised brands are selling at retail
for 81 quart bottle. This is for liquor
that is warranted to be the genuine,
old-faslfiUned, sour-mash, handmade
goods
AS for the stuff that is almost uni
which 999 men out of every 1000 men
in Oklahoma have been used to, and
expect to get when they call for whis-
KIT never cost over $50 a gallon.
This is so simple that anyone can see
it. The Internal revenue tax is s110
per gallon of proof spirits. or 1920 per
gallon of Peoria alcohol. Therefore
the market price of gallon of Peoria
alcohol is about s2.35. This is 50 per
cent alcohol. To make whisky" of
this all that Is necessary is to let it
down with water until it contains only
40 per cent of alcohol. color it with
burnt sugar and flavor 1t with few
drops of an essential oil. The actual
cost, therefore, is only a trifie in excess
of 40 per cent of the price of Peoria
alcohol, say, 95 cents a gallon. Anyone
that wants can in a few minutes make
nearly three gallons Of precisely the
same whisky that he buys in a saloon
by purchasing gallon of absolute alco-
hol at any drug store, adding six parts
Of water to every four parts of alcohol
and coloring it with few spoonfuls OF
sugar burned on the kitchen stove If
the whisky does not seem strong
enough, he may add a little more alco-
hol or judiciously add red pepper.
which viii give both color and fire.
This is a process by which the So
called "rectifiers and blenders" have
been making unnumbered millions out
of the topers of the country every year.
The State Dispenser of Oklahoma has
shown himself either woefuIly ignor-
ant of his business, amazingly guIIibIe
by the liquor sharps. or a CRATER in
making the State pay extravagant
prices for connections of Peoria alcohol

"a YANKEE ARITHMETIC

The supersensitive Confederafes of
Texas have found new Grievance. An
elementary arithmetic in use in the
schools has such examples as these:
Gen. Grant was born April 81, 1922,
and was II years months and days
old when Vicksburg. Miss, was cap
tured. When did he capture vicks-
burg?
Gen. William T. Sherman was born
Feb. 8, 1920, and finished his great
march thru Georgia Dec. 10, 1864.
How old was he on that day?
Gen Sheridan was born March 6,
1881, and made his famous ride from
Winchester to the battlefield at Cedar
Creek Oct. 19,1S64. What was his age
them"
To the ordinary mind the use of
such illustrations as these is a Iaud-
able improvement. They quicken the
young mind by giving personal interest
which can not be had when such straw
figures as John" and Mary" are used.
Then it has the inestimable advantage
of awakening the chi1d's mind to the
great facts in American history. He or
she will at once begin to think who and
what Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Vicks-
burg. the March to the Sea, and Cedar
Creek were. 1t would be excellent If
school book makers did much more of
this
The statements are absolutely free
from any reflection upon the South, or
opinions on the war. That there was
such a man as Grant, and that he
captured Vicksburg; that there was
such a man as Sherman, and he made
notable march thru Georgia; that
there was such a man as Sheridan, and
he made a momentous ride from VIM
chester are all great facts in American
history which a child should learn at
an early age. Certainly the Texas
child should not be any more ignorant
of them than children elsewhere.
But the Texas Confederates have pro-
tested with such vigor that the State
Board of Education has ordered the
Yankee Arithmetic" out of the schools.
