MUsr PLEDGE eoop BEHAVIOR.
Terms on Which Strangers May Enter
British House of Commons.

One of the most important altera-
tions which members of the British
house of commons will notice when
they reassemble will be a strangers
bureau. Its construction, which is now
In progress, is the sequel to the scenes
created by the suffragettes in the
house during last session. In the
last month of the autumn session as
the result of their conduct no stranger
was seen within the house of com
mons.
A committee was appointed to draw
up new rules for admission Of
strangers. The mem bers recommend
ed the passing of an act making it a
criminal offense for strangers to brawl
within the chamber, and they also
recommended that strangers should
be made responsible for their own
good behavior and should sign a pa
per accepting that responsibility. That
being done the committee saw no REQ
son why women, as well as men,
should not be admitted to the
strangers gallery.
1t is in preparation for the change
that the new bureau is being made. AS
heretofore, tickets for the gallery will
be balloted for by members in ad-
vance.

What do you suppose fools were
made for? That you might tread upon
them, and starve them, and get the
better Of them in every possible way ?
BY no means. They were made that
wise people might take care of them.
That is the true and plain fact con
corning the relations of every strong
and wise man to the world about him.
He has his strength given him, not
that he may crush the weak, but that
he may support and guide them. In
his own household he is to be the
guide and support Of his children; out
of his household he is still to be the
father, that is, the guide and support
Of the weak and the poor; not merely
OF the meritoriously weak and the in
nocently poor, but of the guilty and
2unishably poor; of the men who
ought to have known better: of the
poor who ought to be ashamed Of
themselves.-John Ruskin.

Farmers of Oklahoma
Take Lesson to Heart

Norman, okla, May 27.-One has
only to travel over Oklahoma this sea
son to notice that the farmers all
over the state are taking to heart the
lesson of the past few years. said
Prof Gould the state geoogist, recent
| ly. Three years ago you could see
nothing much but cotton and corn in
the southern part of the state and
wheat and corn in the northern coun-
ties The farmers were then depend
ing almost entirely upon wheat and
cotton, the cash crops, for support. re-
gardless of the fact that these crops
are in the long run the most unpro-
ftable that can be raised.
) The farmers are beginning to take
heart these two axioms, however,
Cotton raising keeps a man
poor" and wheat will break any man
if he raises it long enough" So this |
year they are letting up on raising |
wheat and cotton exclusively and the |
going in for diversified farming
More alfalfa is being raised and
more orchards planted. Many farm
srs expect to raise COW peas, potatoes
md sweet potatoes are being tried in
many places Small fruits are being
let out everywhere, particularly straw
erries, Shade trees especially hard
wood for posts are being planted
And strange as it may seem a lot
4 farmers are actually getting over
he Burmuda grass scare and the be-
inning to SOW some of their wornout,
sandy fields in this val
able grass. True it has taken some
erribly expensive lessons to drive the
ruth home, but they now realize that
is better te let gress take field !

deep that COW can't cross the field
without breaking her neck.
And best of all better and better
grades OF stock are being bred. Farm
er cotton and wheat fields, planted to
alfalfa now furnish feed for hundreds
of hogs Old gulley-washed corn fields
now in Burmuda grass are COW pas
lures. Sheep and angora goats are
being introduced in many localities
More horses and mules are being rails
ed every year So instead of shipping
the fertility of the soil away from the
farm as corn, wheat, and cotton, it is
now retained at home.
These good results have been
brought about by a number of causes.
The farmers Institutes, the short
courses at the A. and NJ. college, the
bulletins distributed by the govern
ment and the state, the farm journals
and constant pounding away by men
who are interested in these matters,
nave all had their influence.
The farmers in northern Oklahoma |
will continue to raise wheat and those
in the southern counties will |
plant cotton, but these crops will no
longer be raised to the exclusion of
everything else"
"Of course the results aimed for can
not be brought about in a day. There
are altogether too many men who
still farm "As dad did" and will con
-inue SO to do till the end of the
chapter, but fortunately these fellows
will die off some of these days and
more intelligent men will take their
places.
THE Oklahoma farmer must learn
iiyerslhcation. The sooner he learns
t the better for all concerned, him
ielf included"

LEAD THE IDEAL SIMPLE LIFE.
Firms Devote Summer Months to En-.
Joyment and Pursuit of Health.

In Finland everybody lives the sim.
pie life in summer time. They camp
out on islands, in the forests and al
ways somewhere near the water. for
everybody swims and bathes. Almost
all classes sleep and eat al fresco at
this time Of year, and the town coun-
ellis Of the towns in this progressive
and altogether delightful little country
provide public freplaces and public
bathing sheds in all places where the
working classes go in search of fresh
air.
But the simple life is by no means
dull with the frisky Firms. They COM
bine it with a surprising amount of
gayety. They eat, drink and are merry
In their picturesque little log cabins
outside the cities.
When they are tired of bathing and
splashing they dance, they sing, they
watch fireworks and practice gymnas-
tics, they all become like children and
are the happiest, merriest, most good
natlired, most easily pleased and most
healthy holiday makers in the world.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 27-A re-

the criminal court today when James

Weeping almost continuously for the
half hour he was on the stand, Sharp

doing of his band Sharp denied that
he had shot Policeman Mullane. de-
claring that he fired into the air.

Chinese Historical Plays That Keep

Homage to Hrawn.

The triumphs Of the scholar the pub

OF the athlete is popularly held TO es-
tablish the name and fame OF his col
'lege. OF course. this is unreasonable,
for the reputation OF a university as
an institution OF learning should de
pend upon the liberal education she
gives to those within her gates. But
II is quite true that. despite the excel
lent reasons why It should not do so.

More Like Encouraging
Commercial Development

1
Guthrie. Okla, May 27.-Just to
show how long the republican party is
ION making prophesies and how short
fate is in fulfilling them, part of
Isection six, of the republican platform
adopted at Tulsa August End, 1907,
and relating to the constitution is
here quoted:
| After laborous effort they have sub
mitted an instrument which denies to
each citizen equal rights under the
law with every other citizen; deprives
the minority of their just proportion
| of representation; unfairly discrimin-
ates in favor of one locality against
Ianother; increases the burden of tax
lation without compensating benefits;
|discourages industrial and commercial
development; lessons the demand for
labor and decreases wages, antagon-
ICES and depreciates investment; re.
pudates public obligations and de-
|stroys public credit, and has already
brought blight upon the fair name
of the proposed state"
How we'll the above dire prediction
is fulfilled is told on the front page
of every paper, both democrat and re-
publican. Hardly daily is printed
without telling of some new railroad
manufacturing industry or large com
mercial enterprise being established
within the state. Untold millions are
pouring into Oklahoma lured by OPP
portunites which the unprecedented
development OF the state is daily pre-
senting,

glorifes the state but detracts indeed
from the phrophetic efficiency of the
republican platform The Ol1lahoman
says:
THE statement was made in Guth-
rie by a Kansas City contractor this
week that Oklahoma was now engaged
in either expending or contracting the
the expenditure of S25.OOO,OOO. in civic

The contractor then went into a de-

S25.OOO,OOO, was an underestimate.
