Good by, Dr. Cook. You are the gramdest faker o n record and had Is all
going some. Our hats are off to Commander Peary.
Adore. From add, annex, and ore, meaning wealth. Example, foreign
mobiles who marry American heresses adore them.-Fooish Dictionary
Peary has been awarded a gold medal for discovering the North Pole by
the National Geographical Society. That ought to settle it-but it won't.
There will still be a whole lot of people just unreasonable enough to believe
that Dr. Cook got there a whole year ahead of the envous, jealous gentleman
who belongs to Uncle Sans navy.
Oklahoma banks are umbHug right and left these days. You would sup
pose that every banking house in that state would be as solid as the rock of
Gibraltar under Bryan's Guarantee Law. The act is the GUARANTEES law does
not guarantee. 1t may be all right i'll theory, but it won't work in practice.
The democrats arr good on theory, but very poor in practice.
Manager Pearson, of the Saratoga Grocery Company, says brooms re 60
ing to be brooms for the next year. He says the price ofa all kinds of brooms
has gone up from SO to IS per cent, in the last 60 DAYS.
This raise in price is occaaoned by the shortage in The 1903 crop of broom
corn. "Brooms aeg going to be brooms," he concluded, "before the year
1910 Closes" From which we conclude that we will hang nj the old Of
flee broom until the storm passes.
There a no occasion for the Rawlins Journal to call the att nion of the
Sun to tn lac that the board Of County Commissioners had, for the past
several years, extended the time for adding the penalty to taxes 80 days
The action of the board has alwsys been published in the official paper of
the county and the tax payers have always had full knowledge of it,. The
records IL the county treasures office will show that only a few took advau-
tage of it and that if every one had done S o the loss to the county would
n ogreate wrong han tha oil giving ~ days OF grace to financially en-
barassed tai payer the editor OF the Sun would never call for a n accounting.
No thinking mn can scan the divorce columns. of the daily papers with
out serious misgivings for the future of married life. There can be n % aues-
ton bul what divorce under certain circumstances is the only remedy for do
nestle ills, and it would be Il very difficult matter to draw the line between
good aud sufficient cause for divorce and the simple desire to be free from
welded bonds. The most frequent cause alleged as ground for divorce on
the part OF women kind is cruelty. If we are to believe the testimony daily
given in divorce courts it must be a very common thing for men to beat
their wives. That used Ito be the thing iu the good old days, but it is
growing unpopular in these times. If a mar takes a notion to tank up now
and go home and take it out on his wife, the courts will step in and free her
from such bondage. But the divorce evil seems to be growing. Perhaps
it is not, but cannot rid himself of the impression that everybody, nearly
except himself, and one Or two others, is getting a divorce.
