The Real Missionary.

When a man talks a great deal
about being good, it may be depended
upon as rule that he is working a
scheme. The real missionaries in
this world are very modest and ac-
Complish good quietly. The example
Of a modest, upright man is worth
more to the world than the efforts OF
q professional missionary. iii man
cannot persuade himself to do better,
another man cannot do IL for him.
Every street and country road is filed
with evidence that a man should be
upright, and clean, and charitable
and the evidence is so convincing
that there is no denying it. II a man
is virtuous himself. and teaches by
example, he is the best sort Of a
teacher the world has discovered. =

Another Bank Guaranty Phase.

The people are watching eagerly
every turn In the bank guaranty law
and its operation in Oklahoma. Up
to this date the arguments have been
with the advocates Of the law.
"But new phase has arisen" says
the Wichita Beacon. "and one that
will give its opponents strong lever.
Bank Commissioners Smock has
denied applicants at Prague license
to start state bank there on the
ground that there arc enough banks
there already, to meet the require
ments."
II the state has the right to pro-
tect depositors it must have the right
to regulate to some extent the banks
1t guarantees, but when that right
extends to limiting the number OF
banks in a town it becomes the
mother Of possible monopoly.
One banker with influence enough
might persuade the commissioner to
shut out all competition. No doubt
II Commissioner Smock is upheld in
his ruling, there will be new develop
ments in the bank guaranty PROPOSE
ton. The cry Of suppressing COM
petition will be raised.
When the state begins to NEEDLE
with business matters, there is no de-
ming the exact limits until expert
nee has pointed the way.

Lawrence Gazette; It is announced
that between now and the first Of
November, every store in Kansas will
Be visited BY q pure food inspector,
and everything in the stores passed
apOn and pronounced good or bad.
It is fortunate for the grocery men
that the inspectors do not come in ty
time, or when vegetables and other
things ere exposed outside the doors
for the pleasure Of stray dogs and the
accumulation Of street refuse. Il
seems that the food inspectors are
onto their jobs, and know just what
tine IN the year to make their visits

| A dispatch from Illinois that Speak.
or Cannon may be defeated should b
taken with a grain Of salt-Or MAYBE
two. The fact Is that Speaker Can
non is as strong today as be ever was
and will go back to congress with in
creased majority.
Those people and those papers who
are SO fond Of criticising Speaker
Cannon and his socalled rule Of The
house Of representatives should ex-
anime into the work Of the congress
Of the United States, and particularly
the house OF representatives, during
the past twenty years. II the work o.
one congress after another is analysed
At will be found as we approach the
present time that never In our'history
has SO much work been done BY the
house Of representatives never In our
history have SO many and SO important
laws been put on our statute books
as during those congresses presided
over by Joseph G. Cannon as speaker
In the fifty-eighth congress, when Mr.
Cannon first became speaker, the
house OF representatives did a vast
amount Of work and compared most
favorably with all preceding con-
crosses. The work Of the fifty-ninth
congress was thus characterized BY
President Roosevelt:
II feel that all good citizens who
have the welfare Of America at heart
shouldappreciate the immense amount
that has been accomplished by the
congress, organized as it is, and the
urgent need of keeping this organize
ticn in power. With Mr.. Cannon as
speaker the house has accomplished a
literally phenomenal amount of good
work. 1t has shown courage, good
sense and patriotism such that it
would be a real and serious misfor-
tune for the country ia fail to recog-
nize,"
In fact, it was universally recog-
nized that no congress in our history
accomplished SO much that was
valued in legislation and for the best
interest Of all the people as the fifty
ninth congress under the leadership
of Speaker Cannon. Again, vast
amount Of work was accomplished
during the first session of the sixtieth
congress, in spite of the tilibuster and
continued opposition and obstruction
of the Democratic members-com-
pared with the average session. an
unusual amount Of business was per-
fected, and as compared with the
ffty-ninth congress itself the result
was most favorable. Under no
speaker has so much work been done
or have so important laws been en-
acted as under the speakership Of
.Loseph G. Cannon.

JOHN MILLER KILLED
THROWN FROM HORSE

The very shocking news of
John Miller's death reached
town Wednesday morning. 1t
seems that Mr.. Miller got on an
Old quiet pony which his wife
rode and started out in the
morning before breakfast, to
round up a bunch of milk calves.
1t was eight o'clock when Tom
Hunter and Andy Joplin riding
out on a roundup found Mr..
Miller's horse grazing and upon
Investigation discovered him
with his face covered with blood.
They went to him and thought
that he moved once but the doc
tors say that his neck was bro
ken and death was instanta-
neous. Just how or why the
horse threw him will never be
known but it seems queer that a
man of John Miller's acknOwl-
edged horsemanship should be
killed by being thrown from a
quiet old family pony. The
body was brought to Bucks un-
dertaking parlors where the cor
oner's jury found the facts as
stated above. The body was
buried in Alamo cemetery Thurs
day. Mr.. Miller carried $1,000
insurance and leaves q wife and
son to mourn his loss.

LINCOLN COUNTY
TO THE FRONT

The republicans of Lincoln
county have come to the front
and pledged their support to the
Hon. Edward A. Mann, of Ala
mogordo, as delegate to Congress
first, last and all the time.
For that purpose republican
club has been organized and its
membership is increasing daily
and in all probability the dele
CATION to the territorial conven-
tion from Lincoln county will be
instructed to vote for Judge
Mann as long as his name is be-
fore the convention.
Judge Mann is not a stranger
to the republicans of Lincoln
county, being the presiding
Judge of the Sixth judicial dis
trict, which embraces Lincoln
county, which position he has
held since his appointment sew
eral years ago, and as such, has
become personally acquainted
with most of the people of Lin
coin county, who, as a whole,
speak of him in the highest
terms as a jurist and as man,
while not being a resident of
Lincoln county, still during his
term of Office the people have
become so acquainted with him
that he is regarded as one of
them.
Without a doubt Judge Mann
will be the strongest candidate
the Republicans can nominate
at the convention at Santa Fe as
far as Lincoln county is concern
ed.
