Uncle Sam does some pretty severe
things occasionally. But for the pres
ent they are sailing along many of
them carrying subscribers on their list
as paid up who in reality are back for
number of years, and in many cases
will get back just as many years as
the publisher is willing to carry them
and then would go on forever if the
publisher would stand for it.
The ruling is good thing for every
one concerned. If a person does not
want paper it should not be forced
upon him, and if he does he should
pay for it at least at the expiration of
the year. If this ruling was carried
into execution by all the publishers
there would be no hardship worked on
any of them, but if it is followed by
some and disregarded by others the
lists of some papers will for a time
suffer decrease that will not come to
the others, but in the end those that
live up to the law will be the winners,
as they will have list that is respon-
sible while the other will be carrying
a lot of dead wood, that win, in time,
prove rather burdensome to them.
1t has been the intention of this pa
per to follow the ruling, and with this
object in view have been sending out
notices to delinquents so as to get
them in good standing before their
year is up. We have been receiving
many returns and are pleased to say
that at the rate they are coming in we
will have very few to cancel when
their year is up. This is indeed graft
flying to US as it shows that our en-
| deavors to please our readers is prov
ing good and that the majority of sub
scribers are not in arrears because of
their intention not to pay, but more
because of oversight, and when the de-
| linQuency and the necessity of remit
lance is brought home to them they
| are ready and willing to pay what is
| due.
1t is the intention of the Inter-Ocean
! to give everyone who really wants to
read the paper and who has the inclin-
alton to pay for the same all the OBJ
| portunity possible to make good his
desires, but when we cannot get a
satisfactory adjustment of outstanding
Indebtedness we expect to live up to
the ruling of the department. We are
willing to meet anyone half way and
even little more than that, but we do
not feel called upon to violate the
rulings Of the postofice department
and run the risk of having our publ
cation excluded from the mails be-
cause few of the readers will not
pay for their paper This is not a
matter of choice with the publishers.
but is matter of law and business
and we believe will be so considered
by every fair minded person.

GoOZEE is COMING TO,

W. E. Goozee had a long letter in
the Brockett News last week relative
to his candidacy for county auditor
before the democratic primaries and
judging from its tone he is beginning
to see that he was tricked by our
friends the enemy In concluding his
letter Mr.. Goozee says:
In very truth, l was strongly urged
by J. H. Bloom and Silver Serum
gard - their letters are still in my
possession-to give up running indie
pendent and come out as a democratic
candidate, and l need hardly say if
had the least idea my candidacy would
be Objectionable SO as to encounter
opposition l should have stoutly de-
clined and kept on as | began by pad
ding my own canoe; for as an old
settler and Citizen of some attain
ments and l may say unimpeachable
character, l have many friends espec-
tally among republicans throughout
the county. You know in home affairs
we most times look to the man before
the party. l think you will admit, to
say the least, it looked strange for ].
J. Mcintyre to come out at the last
minute and file his petition with the
county auditor, as the Journal said.
just before the whistle blew" without
having some substantial assurance or
encouragement from those that were
high in the party councils. Besides
his name was always mentioned and
put first, though he was the last to
come out and file his petition by the
Skin of his teeth" No, sir; did not
get square DEAL l am,
Veyr sincerely.
w. E. Goozee.'
Mr. Goozee has been fooled once but
we venture it will be a long time be-
fore the same dodge can be sprung on
him. Mr.. Goozee is really, we think,
republican at heart and as he saws
he was of the opinion that he would
have no opposition. The fact of the
matter probably is that he was urged
to take the nomination because they
were not sure that another martyr
could be found, and having found one
who was more thoroughly democratic,
the encouragement given Mr.. Goezee
was forgotten and he was discarded
like an old SHOE
Better stick to the old reliable, Mr..
Gooze where you always get a square
deal.

Endorsing the Chicago platform, the
republican nominees on the national
ticket and President Roosevelt's pois-
cies. Oklahoma republicans In conven-
tlon here today adopted a plan for
the state campaign or Mr.. Bryan's
stand in regard TO the contributions
resolutions passed say
1--WE dlsapproye and condemn the
position Of the democratic candidate
in his undignihed and reputed per-
sonal requests of the public for cam
palgn contributions. The democratic
candidate having amassed an immense
private fortune from the public while
advocating the public interests. he
now claims from that public that Il
shall contribute further and pay the
freight Of his candidacy. II may be
truthfully said Of him. he has
strengthened nothing Of a public ma
ture he has touched"
The platform favors the sale OF state
school lands. establishment Of sepa-
rute schools for the races and the
strict enforcement of the prohibition
law. II denounces democratic extrava-
ganoe In state affairs ana condemns
the primary election law.

the convention in choosing as our cam
dldates w. j. Bryan and J. w. Kern.
and we enthusiastically pledge to them
our whole hearty and uhwatering sup
port throughout the campaign which
is to be waged against organized greed
and legal plunder. We believe that
they fittingly represent the best type
of American manhood-those who de-
mand equality for all citizens before
the law and who believe that special
privileges given by the government to
one citizen are necessarily taken from
some other.
we see with pleasure the many
signs of democratic harmony and uni-
ty which are in evidence throughout
the country and which mark the in
tention of the mass of the people to
put an end to the instability the un-
certainty and the dread which the pres
ent republican administration has cre-
ated. and to bring back again under
Bryan and Kern the respect for law,
the orderly process of public affairs
and the equality of all men before the
laws which have made this country
the leader of all nations in peace and
progress.
Believing that the interests of the
citizens at large can be best attained
by the enforcement of democratic
principles, we again pledge our united,
untiring and loyal efforts to bring
about the election of w ], Bryan and
j. W. Kern to the presidency and vice
presidency of these United States"

FULL TEXT OF MIR. BRYAN'S
SPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE

Responding TO Senator Clayton, Mr..
Bryan said:
Mr.. Clayton and Gentlemen of the
Notification Committee: l can not ac-
cept the nomination which you Off
cialy tender, without first acknowl-
edglng my deep indebtedness to the
democratic party for the extraordi-
nary honor which 1t has conferred
upon me. Having twice before been
candidate for the presidency, In
campaigns which ended in defeat,
third nomination. the result of the
free and voluntary act of the voters
of the party, can only be explained
by a substantial and undisputed
growth in the principles and policies
for which I, with a multitude of 9TH
ers, have contended. As these prinei-
pies and policies have given me what
ever political strength possess, the
action Of the convention not only re-
news my faith in them, but strength
ems my attachment to them.
A Platform is Binding.
I shall, in the near future, prepare
a more formal reply to your notiilca-
tion. and, in that letter Of acceptance,
will deal with the platform in detail.
It is sufficient. at this time. to as
sure you that am in hearty accord
with both the letter and the spirit OF
the platform l endorse II in whole
and IN part. and shall, II elected. re-
gard Its declarations as binding upon
me. And. l may add, platform Is
binding az to what It omits as well as
to what II contains. According to the
democratic idea, the people think for
themselves and select officials to carry
out their wishes. The voters are the
sovereigns; the officials are the serv-
ants, employed for a fixed time and at
n stated salary to do what the sover-
elgns want done. and TO do It in tho
way the sovereigns want It done. Plat
forms are entirely In harmony with
this democratic idea. A platform an
nounces the partys position on the
questions which are at issues and an
official Is not Mt liberty to use the au-
thoritv vested In him TO urge per-
sonal views which have not been sub
mitted TO the voters for their ap-
proval. II one Is nominated upon q
platform which IL not satisfactory TO
him. he must. If candid, either decline
the nomination. or. In accepting g.
propose an amended platform IN lieu
