If 1t was the proper thing at that
time to have a court house. why isn't
1t now? Why doesn't the Capital
make a positive charge? Why indulge
in generalitie9?
Nothing to Be Ashamed OF.
There was nothing in the court
house contract that the county board
at that time need be ashamed Of and
If there is anything that the present
board should be ashamed of it was in
letting the State of Oklahoma bluff
them into contract to lease the
building TO the State for rental Of
100000 per annum. They could have
gotten $4,000 yearly rental by using
little judgment and common sense.
As to the county taxes why don't

AND LET THE TAXPAYER KNOW
JUST HOW MUCH MONEY WAS

1t was New Years night in Is

A group of men, most of the above
SO, had congregated about the big
stove and were telling of the 9th

never come to most of them. None
of the group would confess to men,
hership in the Down and Out
club; in fact, such a suggestion
would have been taken as an in
suit.
The scene was typical one and
impaired a lesson in cheerfulness
to people more fortunately situated
in life.
I'll bet that l am happier to-
night than John D. Rockefeller,
said j. McLaren. who seemed to be
the presiding genius in the phil
osophy of contentment. You take
a workingman, when he lies down
at night he can sleep. He has no
figures on his mind and does not
carry. the strain of business cares
to bed with him. He can sit down
to a meal of pork and beans =. and
his appetite and digestion is good.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Jan. l.
If it is decided to call sympathetic
strike of the railway department of
the American Federation of Labor
to help the switchmen now on
strike on the northwestern rail
roads, all the organizations in the
department will not be called out
at once. A single union will go out
first and ten days later, if the rail
roads still refuse to accede to the
demands of the switchmen, other
railroad organizations of the feder-
alton will be called out.
This was the statement made to-
might by a prominent official of the
federation.
President Hawley of the switch
men, it is said, has all along urged
that several organizations be called
out simultaneously. Chairman Per-
ham. OF the affiliated unions, how
ever. is said to favor the ''one Fat a

ton will start the ball rolling, if
any, union officials refuse to di-

the plan the state department is

In the immediate future only
such steps as will bring about the

republics, are contem Plated. '''l'- }
The first note of the new program
was sounded by John Barrett, direc-
tor of the Bureau of American Re-
publics. - In his recent Toledo
speech, Barrett declared that event
ually the United States of Central
America would be an accomplished
fact.
On the heels Of this announce

who said, On leaving washington;

1t is positively stated that the re-
lations of the United States and
Mexico have not been strained in
the slightest by the Nicaraguan
episode.
1t is the conviction of the present
administration that the influential
