evidence of this. This is a weapon OF
marvellous possibilities. even If some of

MORE REFORMING.

NumberleSS criticisms are made
of the Oklahoma legislature for its pro-
posed determination to regulate hotels
in that young commonwealth.
One OF the proposed laws OF the new
state is designed to compel all hotel
keepers to provide bed sheets at least
nine feet In length. Full three yards
each sheet must be--not an inch or a
hem shorter. under pain Of the laws
displeasure. We don't know that any
Of the Oklahoma legislators are Of the
nine feet class unless as to the circum-
ference of their heads, but they are de-
terrnined that when a man lies down in
a public bed in that state he must have
sheet enough to envelop his head and
his feet at the same time or the courts
will know the reason why not. No
sawed-off bsdclothing will go in Okla
homa, if the legislature knows itself
Another proposed innovation in the
regulating business provides that no
article or vessel of crookery or glass
ware shall be used on a hotel table If
it has a crack in it large enough to be
seen by the naked eye. The law will be
liberal enough not to allow customers
to use magnifying glasses to discover
the cracks, but If the unaided eye can
see one in cup or saucer, plate or
pitcher, or anything in the crocksry or
glassware line, the keeper of the hos
telry is to be hailed before the court
and made to tell what he means by 1t.
We suppose that in case Of violation Of
either of these laws the patron who
has been outraged nv q cl,rtaiIad or
bobtailed sheet, or a piece of fractured
crockery, must produce the offending
article IN court as evidence that the
law has been ignored. Great times may
be expected in Oklahoma when these
laws begin to work, and perhaps few
war whoops may be heard.

KANSAS COAAENT
LOOKS SUSPICIOUS.

u.OHoiueual receipts OF hogs crowd
month. according to packing house
statistics, because the high price OF
corn made feeding unprof1table.' The
packers are kind to do our thinking
LOT us. Left to their own resources
the farmers might have made the
blunder OF concluding that it was the
low price of hogs that made feeding
Improbable. That would have reflect
ed upon the innocent packers.-Llnooln
In manufactures when the price of
raw material has increased the public
is always compelled to pay a little
more Tor the product; when labor de-
mands q higher price little more is
added. The public pays the bill. 1t Is,
indeed. a peculiar situation that farm
ers should be compelled to dispose of
their hogs because .the high price of
corn has made feeding Improbable"
The experience, however, isn't new.
Kansas farmers used to- make good
money out of feeding cattle, but there
developed the same conflict between
the low selling price Of the stock and
the high price Of the feed, and the
farmers have gradually been obliged to
turn to something else. The situation
would probably, be accepted without
complaint were 1t not for the fact that
dressed meat prices have strangely
maintained their uniformly high level.
We are asked to believe there is no
packing trust and perhaps there is
none. But certainly there Is some
thing just as good. "--Leavenworth

PRISON TwINE.
Announcement is made by the board
binding Irvine from the prison plant
will be cheaper this year. Penitentiary
binding twine Is always cheaper than
the trust made product. and 1t Is one of
our greatest perplexities that. with this
being true, every pound of this state
made Irvine is not sold every year.
There is no question that the trust rep
resentatives have been able to use CO.
ercion with certain dealers in binding
Irvine to compel them to give the trust
article the preference, but the effect
OF this plan could be easily Offset did
the farmers of Kansas insist upon get
ting the prison Irvine. which is just as
good by every test as that put out by
the trust. The saving which might be
effected among the farmers Of Kansas
by the exclusive use OF penitentiary
Irvine would amount to many thous-
ands of dollars annually.-Leaven-
WHAT ROOSEVELT WON'T DO.
Some newspapers and people with
little to engage their time have been
trying to arrange President Roose-
velt's future for him. evidently with
out ms ADVICE and consent" as they
say of the senates privilege of con-
hrm1ng appointments. A Michigan del
egation was calling on the president
the other day to invite him to some
function up in that state. When the
president said he-eouldn't CO. his at
tention was called to the report that
he was going to attend the Chicago
convention. Mr.. Roosevelt replied: Fl
am not going to Chicago; I'm not go
ing to the senate; I'm not going to
Europei I'm not going to any of the
places they have been talking about"
The president may not know Just what
he is going to do, but 1t is clear he
has some pretty definite ideas about
things he Is not rgeing to do-Hutch-

THE PRESIDENT IN POLL
TICS.

Mr.. Roosevelt, no doubt, believes
he is right, but he is doing that
which would, and should, have cost
any other government official his
position. Only the other day
prominent member of his official
family was given a hint to resign be-
cause he was aking too active
part, in the political campaign now
being waged, and yet Mr.. Roosevelt
Is doing the very thing that he has
forbidden his subordinates TO do.
and doing it in his usual headlong
way, without stopping to weigh his
words or to be sure OF facts. Fol
lowing Hearst's lead, he made sim
liar charge of bribery against the
governor of a sovereign state of the
Union, although the man with whom
the charge first originated admits
that it was made on hearsay and that
Gov. Haskell, the accused official, had
made repeated requests, by tele-
phone, by telegraph and by mail for
an opportunity to clear himself of the
charge. After charging Gov. Haskell
with being tarred by the Standard
Oil infamy in Ohio, the president
seeing himself unable to prove it, has
virtually ignored that matter in his
reply to MI. Bryan's indignant and
righteous demand that he prove the
chArge-so that the democratic party
might purge itself of Haskell, If he be
guilty-and brings out other charges
against the Oklahoma executive
which are equally as offensive, if
true. Aside from the fact of Mr..
Roosevelts violation of the rule
which forbids government officials
from taking an active part in politics,
the president has laid himself liable
10 the charge of doing a rank injus-
tice, unless he can prove his charges.

A fact that has hardly been re-
allied by residents at this section,
namely: that the fish industry of
Point Isabel, the seaside resort on
Laguna Madre, twenty-five miles
from Brownsville, ranks second in the
state, is set forth in the annual report
of the state fish and oyster commits
sioner of Texas, Hon. r. H. Wood
which has just been made public. The
report shows the output of fish on
the Texas coast to have increased
slightly during the past year, while
the oyster output has decreased. The
total amount of fish shipped during
the year was 3,1S4,920 pounds, and
of oysters 102,332 barrels.
Along the Texas coast there were
321 boats engaged in the fish and oy-
ster industry, and the total receipts
to the State from rent on oyster land,
special tax on the oysters gathered,
fish and oyster licenses and register
certificates of the boats, was $685.

beds and reefs under lease from the
State and these pay rental of S1376.

the principal points along the coast is

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed. Deafness is
the result, and unless the infamma-
ton can be taken to its normal con-
dition, hearing viii be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition OF the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cuerd by

lars free.
