1t is said in England that the ad-
vance in democracy has resulted in an
increase of books dealing with the
peerage. Debrett, the older book, of
geological reference. now in its one
hundred and ninety-fifth year, with
its $500 pages, is very different
book from the original record. Since
the date of Queen Victoria's accession
no fewer than $40 peerages and 460
baronetcies have been bestowed, max
ing an average of five Of the one and
seven of the other per annum.

"Cat-tails," which are scarcely util-

England as filling for the upholster-

ply has been very small on account Of
the poor results which have been OBJ
tanned by the use OF this material
The closest competitor Of 'cat-tails"
is the Indian fiber kopak, which. even
when of poor quality, sells at nine
cents a pound. The "cat.tails'' which
have thus far been sent to England
from the United States have varied In
price from two to four cents per
pound.

Sometimes marriage is called a state
of bliss and again we hear people say that
it is something else than bliss. That is as
the man and the woman make it. When
two persons are joined together according
to Gods word in the holy estate of matri-
mony, which ST. Paul says is honorable
among all men, they have it in their power
TO be very happy or quite the reverse. If
love has brought about the union and both
husband and wife have the consideration
for each other they should have, they will
be happy and their home will be an altar of
God and will be blessed by him.

UNDERLYING POLICY
AFFECTING SALE Of
SCHOOL LANDS
WILLIAM MURRAY MAKES UNANSWERABLE ARGUMENT
FOR SALE OF THE LANDS.

Tisnomingo. Okla, Oct. %, 1905.
TO Oklahoma Voters:
In dealing with the question OF
proper disposition Of the school and
other lands OF the state. the same
questions are involved as are involved
IN the settlement OF any other great
public questions, the greatest among
which IS the effect upon public pol
Icy. The amount In dollars and GEMS
has but small weight with real states
manship where a policy which reaps
the greatest amount in dollars and
cents violates sound public policy.
This is the question that enters into
the prohibition OF the liquor traffic as
well as other public questions. The
advocates OF local option argue that
licensing saloons gives US a great rev.
enue and saves taxation. The oppon-
ents OF the saloon and advocates of
prohibition reply that the open sa-
loon. irrespective Of the amount OF
money or taxes tha5 Il might save, Is
too contrary to public policy and
healthy morals to take into account
tae dollars and cents proposition In
VOWED therein, and they proceed 10
argue that the effect Of an open sa-
loon on public policy outweigns all
the revenue that high license could
give. On the other hand local option
lists reply in rebuttal that the revenue
is not only considerable. but that pub
Tic policy Is not measurably disturbed
or injured. and finally the arguments
turn wholly upon public policy. Just
80 with the settlement Of the school
land question. What public policy
underlies the settlement OF this Ques-
tiunY We may answer first the open
Ing up Of this land for homes lessons
the baneful effect OF the tenant sys'
tenn upon society. and minimlzes a
system OF waste and destruction OF
soil on the public land by washing
and otherwise. caused by neglect al
ways incident to tenant system. The
states tenant will stop planting trees
and will chop down those now grow
ing; stop terracing and ditching, and
let those made be destroyed to save
expense. The state owns in public
lands an aggregate of 3,l00,575 acres,
OF this amount sections l6 and 36 be-
long to the common schools; sections
f3 and 33 public building funds, and
