fine DISPLAYS
OF FALL GOODS
Merchants of Anadarko Prepar
ing for Heavy Business Dur
ing Rest Of Year

The merchants Of Anadarko
are preparing for a large fall and
winter business and but few peo-
pie realize the amount of goods
that r being shipped into this
city. The merchants are buying
large stocks for the fall and holi.
day trade and it is noticeable that
the stocks this year are not only
larger than ever but are all Of
the best and date grade in
every line, equalling in every
way anything that can be found
in any OF the largest cities Of the
country.
1t is a fact of which the city
should be proud that Anndarko
has stores Sthat equal any in
the larger cities. and one can Sc.
cure anything here in any line
and at prices that are as good,
and in many instances better
than so-oalled city prices. The
farmers and people of Caido
County appreciate these facts, as
is shown by the ever increasing
trade of the city. More and more
people each week are beginning
to make Anadarko their tradiag
point. Anadarko merchants are
progressive and accommodating
and the person who watches the
advertising columns of the Daily
and Weekly Democrat will find
much to interest him and that
will be OF profit to him.

Eight Billion Crop

Henry Clews. the New York
banker says: "The corn crop
this year, from the present out
look, will yield 2,700, 000, 900
bushels, which, at the September
option price (75 cents) is valued
at over $2,0O0,O OO, 900. The
wheat crop, with an indicated
yield of 675, OOO, 900 bushels, at
80 cents a bushel, amounts to

the present price, would amount
to So41, 2E0, 900, The oats and
hay crops, now out of danger,
are record breakers in quantity
and quality.
"While the combination OF
crops this year will perhaps not
be the largest in quantity, the
price that will probably be OBJ
tanned for them will aggregate,
i. is estimated, So, 900, 000. 900.
SIT ia a curious fact that dur.
ing the period when the people
OF the East, owing to the dis
astrous effects of the 1907 panic,
were putting their automobiles
out of commission or selling them
at reduced prices, the farmers OF
the West were accommodating
them, and at the present time
are the most numerous buyers"

Must Furnish Service

u, S. Pawkett, traffic manager
of the Fort Worth, Tex, freight
bureau, is authority for the
statement that the National In.
iustrial Traffic League with APP
proximately 100000 members, will
urge before the next session Of
session Of Congress the passage
Of a bill embodying substantially
the propositions contained in the
Culberson- Smith car and trans
portation service bill which was
introduced in both houses at the
last session. The bill authorizes
the Interstate Commerce Com.
mission to enforce the rules reg
ulating interstate commerce,
contending that there 10 no ade-
quate law at this time. Mr..
Pawkett says the league, OF
which the Fort Worth bureau is
n subordinate body, will urge
such Legislation with a view tc
requiring the railroads to provide
equipment in such amount as
will enable them to furnish cars
properly and hat them there viii
DE a reciprocal demurraGe fea'
ture to penalize for failure t
discharge their duties in thu
matter of furnishing cars anC

also seeks to empower the Inter

to provide n minimum speed OF

WHAT 1T MEANS

Here's a political straw says the
Tulsa World. Practically every con-
tract now being made In the man
featuring and financial world contains
this clause, void in case of Bryan's
election Now what do you suppose
that indlcates?"
u indicates two things, First, that
for the sake OF partisan advantage the
World makes q statement editorially
which 1t doesn't believe. II knows
that only n very few OF the manurac-
turing and financial interests are pur'
suing the policy OF coercion TO COM
pass Bryan's defeat. which was adopt
ed in 1896 and 1900.
The second thing It means Is that
the protected interests that have
grown immensely wealthy on tribute
cXacted from the American people
through the operation OF a protective
tariff. and the ~monopolies that have
grown up among these protected in.
t%erests, realize that they have Just as
much to fear from Mr.. Bryan's cleo.
ton as they had in 1896 and in 1900.
II means that the dishonest wealth OF
the nation is still using every mean
within it's power to perpetuate the
reign OF he republican party.

tirely new undertaking and, lastly, there
are those who desire the Government to
take over the present system at q fair valua-
ton and extend it On popular lines. OF the
three alternatives, the second seems the least
and the last the most, popular. Having Civ
en- the existing Company a contract for ten
years, it is generally felt that, if there ia no.
thing else, there is at least o moral obliga-
ton either to renew the contract or to take
the con Germ over on equitable terms. 1t is
quite probable, "The Jamaica Guardian"
believes, that if fresh tenders were sought
one would be forthcoming either from Ameri-
ca or Canada, but our contemporary considers
that such a course would not be n wise one
in the long run, for it would %ieopardise the
credit of the colony with capitalists. Men,
it is pointed out, are not going to the gigau-
tic expense Of installing q telephone system,
and then run the risk of having wasted their
money and energy at the end of ten years,
and The weight of opinion seems to be in
favour of standing by the existing Company
and seeing that they are fairly treatedA yet
the matter has not come officially before the
Government, but in many infuen ial quarters
feeling is stated to be strong, and it is ex-
pActed that before long active steps will be
taken to move in the matter.-Bid

LOCAL INDUSTRIES IN DEMERARA.
(De,nerora Argosy, nth Octo6er.)

The Government, when Mr.. Bell was here,
showed such a laudable desire to encourage
and improve local industries that % Commit
tee on Industrial Training was appointed
under his craftsmanship to find out the best
means of doing so. It is long since the
committee concluded taking evidence, but
60 far no report has been issued. 1t is un-
5erstood, however, the Committee has
reported and recommends, among 9TH
err things, the institution of n Board
of Industrial Training, and among the
trades such a Board would have con-
troll over are tailoring, tanning and boot
and shoemaking. Yet the Government shows
the very bad example of Encouraging
these local industries by getting its
supplies from London or India. The best
encouragement to local industry woule be for
the Government to get the police, militia
and volunteer clothing and boots made
locally. If it offered q three, FIVE or seven
wears contract for the local supply OF these
articles, tradesmen would be encouraged to
introduce the latest and most up-to-date
machinery and appliances fer the purpose.
Example is better thun precept whether by
individual or Government, and by giving
effect TO this suggestion the Government
would have the satisfaction OF having cone
something practical to materiallze its ben
eyclent theorizipg.

EnoIish Contempt For Labor.

Contempt for labor is an attitude of
mind which is more marked In Eng.
land than it is in other countries. "It
is abominable to have created - a
peer; he was originally common
workman" That is said notwithstand-
ing that Lord - has remarkable abil-
ity, has established an enormous busi-
ness and controls a body of men far
larger than a territorial magnate COM
manded in feudal times. 1.-THE house
of commons is detestable now; those
Labor members have completely spoil
ed it." Most Of the Labor members
have spoken only on subjects concern
ing which they are experts and have
been Of great use in making clear to
the house important matters which
ordinary members are extremely ig-
norant about. Society" expresses it's
contempt for any who have raised
themselves from the labor level, but is
prepared to enjoy their hospitality and
borrow their money. "The county and
district councils ought never to have
been established; multitude of COM
mon laborers are now in position to
interfere in local matters" Those su-
perior people, the spendthrifts and
spectators, alone are fit to associate
with, to legislate for the country and
to manage municipal affairs.-London
