How Private John Allen Proved His

The wonderful advance In the price
Of town lots and farms In the new
state OF Oklahoma recalls the fact that
when Oklahoma was first organized as
a territory the boomers arranged a spe,,
cial train and invited number Of
congressman to make a trip down
there. Some Of the development COM
panies made it point to sell town
lots at nominal rates to the visiting
statesmen. Among those who became.
purchasers some fifteen years ago was
the famous Private John Allen of
Mississippi, Allen was never credited
with being anything of a business man
In those days. He has a millionaire
brother In st. Louis nicknamed ugly.

make financier out of John and Of
fered him at one time a tempting sal

law business. But about then Private"
Allen was not fond Of work. His
funny speeches kept him in congress
for sixteen years, and he used to say
that he could worry through the year
on eongressman'ss salary because it
was so powerful regularw Every now

extra money. and he would borrow

should owe him or any other man, so

a settlement. He told him that, while
be could afford to wipe the account of
the slate, he did not propose to do SO
and John must pay. It was for his
own interest. He would never become
9 business man unless he met his OBJ
legations more promptly.
John thought Of scheme by which
he would prove to ugly Jim" that he
was more Of business man than he
imagined. He wrote to numerous peoa:

town lots in Oklahoma. Then. he had
folks down in the territory advise him
that he should not think of selling for
any such ridiculously low figures.

said, "and you will get so per, cent

Hon. William Jennings Bryan as he
was taking ship for Mexico announc-
ed that he would "run again for the
Presidency in 1912 if circumstances
once more force me into the cam
paign." So it would seem the min
strel who said he would vote for Taft
because he might not have another op-
portunity to vote for him. but that he
could vote for Bryan any time had the
situation down about right.
Mr.. Bryan is a grea: and good man
but really he should not monopolize
the business Of running as candi-
date of the Democratic party for the
presidency. It is contrary to the an
thrust and anti-monopoly plank Of
the Democratic platform.

order shall be subject to fine. Judge
Klugh is to be commended. Thought
less people abuse public property, not
because they do not know better, but
because they do not care, and they
should be made to have a regard For
the county's property and the COM
fort Of Others. We have never seen
a court house that did not resemble
more or less hog pen. because Of the
indecency of tobacco chewers in ex-
pectoratin~ upon the floor. It's un-
sanitary and therefore unhealthy and
we applaud the order Of Judge
Klugh.'
The above was clipped from an ex-
change and we think appeared first IN
the Gaffney Ledger and was, there
fore, an utterance Of Judge Klugh
from the bench at Gaffney.
Judge Klugh is eminently correct.
We are glad to see the Judiciary TAX
ing action similar to this. It is use
less to spend money in building and
furnishing nice court rooms if they
are to be abused. People do not in
tend to abuse the properly but do so
many times thoughtlessly. Besides
the unsightly appearance such con-
duet makes the building unsanitary.
Judge Memminger on Saturday is
sued a similar order at Newberry and
placards will be put Ep calling the at
tention of those who attend court to
the fact that splitting upon the floor
is not only unseemly and filthy but
that it is also unsanitary.
Cleanliness is virtue and should
be observed by our courts. If the
people who attend court will think for
a moment they will gee the necessity
of cleanliness in the court room and
the wisdom of the position Of these
judges and will cooperate with the Of
ficers in enforcing the rule.

Many and various have been the
conjectureS aiming to account for
Bryan's third exit from the stage,

other celebrities to make other fare
we'll tours A small coterie of OBJ
server admirers secretly maintain
that the Greek-beaing gift Of the
Kong Gander and the fat Hen to the
Seceder elder Of Secession Chaleston
first put Taft on his mettle and dis
closed to chairman Mack the wavcr-
ing allegiance Of the old guard.
It was a case Of killing man in
fun. Howeved beneficent in inten-
tion, it belittled the popular crusade
for campaign cash; while Carnegie's
ambition was excited to do some
thing real handsome for the other
side. When the whole country went
to laughing over an incident, however
trivial, that soon became national;
the cause of Oklahoma and Nebraska
felt the lack Of a certain dignity in
separable from great undertakings.
In vain Mr.. Bryan sought to steer
the tide by publishing from day to
day that a certain we'll known friend
Of his had given 500 to Chairman
Mack. People remembering the
Charleston rattle of these celebrated
birds were sceptic and shook their
heads when asked for a dollar.
It is not a strange or strained the
ory that is here maintained. Why
should not a bird that saved imperial
Rome lose an American election? Po-
tent for mischief-perhaps in the

The recommendation of the grand
jury as to the old court house is right
so far as the purpose is to keep the
place neat and clean and in proper
condition but if those who voted to
retain the building had thought it was
to be used as an Office building to be
rented they would not have voted to
retain it. The county has no right to
60 into business Of this kind.
Those who favor retaining the
building had in mind its use as a IL
brary and rest room for the ladies
and children who come to town from
the country. Of course to carry out
this purpose it will be necessary TO
have some provision for the proper
care of the building after it is put
in proper condition to be used for this
purpose.
The grounds Immediately around
the building need to be cared for and
not used for hitching purposes. The
steps should be put on the inside and
the corridors and shed should not be
used as lettering or loafing place,
These reforms could be made if used
as we suggest but if used as an Office
building to be rented none of these
changes will be made.
The upstairs could be used fo1
meetings Of various kinds.
This is handsome old building and
should be taken care Of and turned
into a public library building with the
other uses indicated.
