STUCK ON OKLAHOMA.
Oklahoma City, Okla, June IA,

Oklahoma City, Okla, June IA. 'O9.
Editor Journal II would like to cor
rect misstatement which appeared in
your paper recently in an article writ
ten by some one who had made visit
to Oklahoma, and pronounced health
conditions very bad here. He also
seemed to think the country greatly
overrated generally.
In reference to health conditions, the
writer is probably in much better posi-
ton to Judge than one who has made q
short visit here. have engaged in the
life insurance business here for more
than three years, having general
agency covering the entire state, and
my company has been doing business
here for nearly nine years, and our ex-
perience so far shows a much lower
mortality than Georgia, for instance.
In fact, my company has just opened
up this state for industrial business,
which is q class of insurance which they
have never written in any strictly
Southern state, and said to be attribute
BILE to the high mortality amongst chill
dren there,
AS to land values, they are high here
as compared with the hill country of
Georgia; but when you take into con-
sIderation the fact that one man can
cultivate two or three times as much
land here as he can in the hill country
of Georgia, and make as much stuff per
acre without fertilizer as he can in
Georgia with it our lands are not sell
ing for more than they are worth.
Georgia is a great state and has many
advantages, and the above is written
merely to correct what know to be
misstatement Of facts.
With kindest regards to the Journal,
/ remain yours very truly,

While it is far from advocating pro-
hibition, the Washington Post does not
hesitate to attack the old fallaey that a
certain amount of alcohol is good for q
man, making him the stronger, DETER
or more brilliant for its use. Says it,
in this connection: THAT man is an
exception whose brain is cleared by the
fumes OF liquor. 1t is a rare orator
whose tongue is oiled and whose imag-
nation is enriched by dalliance at the
wine cup. 1t is still more rare man
Of business or action whose nerves are
steeled, thoughts polished, scumen
sharpe3ed by spirituous stimulants."

The New York Sun has lost ell faith
in and patience with congress and the
tariff bill and cries out: "If there is to
be a temporary deficiency of revenue
which no properly construc ed tariff
bill can supply. let the emergency be
met by an adequate stamp duty on
checks, deeds. notes, proprietary arti-
cles, etc. Let the occasion of the
emergency tax be recognized frankly
by calling it the Roosevelt Tax. Let
every revenue stamp bear the likeness
Of Roosevelt. even though he is yet
alive Let his counteance Le kept be-
fore the taxpayers and voters as long
as the need OF extraordinary taxation
exists. The reminder and the warning
will be Of priceless value to this coun-
try"
