that the proposition doesn't appeal

THE UNHoLY lcoNocLAsTIc RE-
PORTER.

How many poetic souls have found
comfort in the oft-quoted lines OF
Thomas Moore:
"You may break, you may ruin the
the vase If you will.
But the scent Of the roses will cling
round it still"
Our mothers and grandmothers used
to read those lines and quote them
with all the feeling that the sad senti-
ment inspires
That these beautiful words should
be subjected to gross indignity of par.
ody is almost a crime. Nobody but
an unholy newspaper reporter would
think Of doing such a sinful thing, but
the thing has been done by some smart
chap who writes for a Z 4sas City
paper
Some evil person ''bugled" a short
order restaurant in "ham and" row,
tapping the till for all tie shekels It
contained Here is the way the re
porter began his story of the incident:

Oklahoma C!ty'S Latest
KNOCK" on Chick0Shd

Read the handwriting on the wall.
And with all the knocking on Chick
asha that the Oklahoma City people
do there are yet scores Of citizens
here whose families buy much thai
they use in the home and in dress
at Oklahoma City.
They lick the hand that smites
them
They give life and sustenance Of a
community that would, If it could
crush the business that enables them
to live and lay by.
Loyalty to home is one of the first
principles of a good, honest fair-mind-
ed citizen
And especially should this be empha.
sized when to be disloyal to home
means the upbuilding of an avowed
enemy to ones every interest.
The Oklahoma City newspapers and
citizens-many of them-have shown
their teeth to Chickasha enough to
make the citizens Of Chickasha-
Think twice before spending even
a dime with those who would so griev-
ously wrong them.
The spirit manifested by. certain
county official who in conversation
with a group of citizens. said:-
Why, gentlemen, the disposition Of
the Oklahoman and citizens of Okla
homa City to crush Chickasha has
been so fragrant that wouldn't spend
a dime in their city; when l have to
go other there or pass through shall
take my dinner with me"
While little extravagant, was the
spirit that should govern the citizens
of Chickasha more in the future than
It has in the past
Patronize home merchants and ar.
tlsans.
Let those who would inIure you
hustle for themselves.
In other words:
Be loyal to those who contribute to

Be loyal to your home and firesde!
Be loyal 70 your home townI

ALL WANT TAFT.
The President Is DeIuged by Invita-

Washington, March 29-President Taft
is being fairly smothered by invitations
for visits and speeches in every part
of the country during the coming sum-
mer.
The president is unable to say a. this
time just what his plans for the sum-
mer will be. He first planned to spend
the summer in travel. making a long
tour of the western and Pacific states
With a side trip by steamer to Alaska.
But the western trip is held in abey-
srce for numerous reasons, a paramount
one being the matter of expense
Mr.. Taft is making no speaking en-
gagements at this time because of the
doubt as to the length of time congress
will remain in session. He does not pro-
pose to make any extended trips away
from Washington while the tariff bill is
under consideration.
