THE HIGH COST OF LIVING.

A rather ridiculous situation is revealed in
the attempt to place the responsibility for
the high cost of living. There are charges
and counter charges. It is shifted from the
trusts to the retailers and from the retailers
to the farmers, who in turn are defended by
Secretary Wilson with the assertion that the
cause is luxurious living by people of moder-
ate means; and while Archbishop Ireland ac-
cuses the housewife of extravaganza Cardi-
nal Gibbons maintains that high tariff is
responsible. On the other hand Senator
Lodge remarked in the Senate chamber that
he found in the increase in the gold supply
and in the increased demand Of consumers
an adequate explanation of present condi-
tons" in defense of the Payne tariff bill.
.That prices were lower here than in many
other countries Senator Bacon retorted
that ''the beef trust was selling beef in Eng
land at from four to nine cents a pound
cheaper than in the United States, where

CARNIVAL DRAWS
IMMENSE CROWD
THOUSANDS SEE LAST NIGHTS
PERFORMANCE AT THE CARNl-
VAL SHOWS.

The carnival spirit seems to have
taken possession of Ardmore and ev-
eryone who was not tied at home was
on the streets last night. The spell
ers in front of the dilferent shows along
the midway were in fine fettle and
succeeded in interesting the crowds In
the various shows to such an extent
that they all did big business.
The Animal Show, Patterson's An
est crowds but the Georgia Minstrels,
Honka the snake girl and the Merry
Widows are also very popular. The
singing OF Miss Nellie BaInhill, who
is one of the best coon shouters'
in the business is singing in the Merry
Widow show and is always very en-
Enthusiastically received.
The Nomia dance which has been SO
much discussed, is a correct imitation
of the dance of Cleopatras rival just
before her death and with the beauu-
full scenic effects is the best staged
show ever seen with a carnival COM
pany. Another Interesting feature of
this show is the singing and dancing
of James Patterson, Jr., aged three
and Florence Spencer, aged two. These
little tots travel with the show con-
stantly and love the life. They do not
perform regularly--only when they
wish to do so and then they do 1t
just as other little children would play
their favorite game.

capped death while making his dive last

SPEAKING DATES
ARE ARRANGED
CHAIRMAN COLEMAN OF THE
COUNTY DEMOCRATIC SPEAK
ERS COMMITTEE GETTING BUSY.

Judge c. 3. Kendrick of Davis, can
didate for the state senate from this
district, is in the city today, having
returned from a speaking tour in the
western part Of the county. Judge
Kendrick states, that the so-called
apathy among democrats, does not ex-
ist in fact, but is simply the result of
the farmers giving their attention TO
their cotton crops. Politics can wait,
but the cotton crops and good prices
demand their immediate attention.
I'VE are sending Judge Kendrick
with Judge Winfrey tonight to speak
at Hewitt" said Mr.. J. T. Coleman,
chairman OF the democratic speakers
committee, "and tomorrow, Friday
night, they will speak at Lone Grove.
In connection with the state commit
tee, we are billing the Hon. w. A.
Durant for a speech in Ardmore in the
district court room on Monday, Oct.
18th, and Notwithstanding that is
circus night, We have assurances that
he will have a good crowd as Mr..
Durant is a speaker Of ability and well
known in this community. On Tues
day. October the 18th we have arrang-
ed two meetings in the country for
Mr.. Durant, one at Lone Grove at one
thirty p m, and the other at Durwood
in the evening.
81 want to say that while 1t may
appear that the campaign Is getting
under way slowly, We are laying our
plans for one OF the most vigorous
speaking campaigns ever conducted in
this county. Our local campaign COM
mittee is keeping in close touch with
the state committee, and It is our pur-
pose and intention to keep something
going on every day, and 10 keep the
people well informed on political Is
sues from now until election day"

SENSATIONAL SUIT.
Involves State Banking Board and
Many Others.


Bartlesyille, Okla, Oct. 12.-One of
tho most sensational OF the many big
suits which have been brought within
the past year by the Union National
bank OF this city in Strengthening out
its affairs as successor of W. l.. Nor
tons defunet American Natounl bank
was that filed late yesterday afternoon
In the district court of Washington
county entitled Union National Bank
and Howard Weber liquldating agent
of the American National Bank, plain
tiff, VS.. the Commerce Trust Com
pany of Kansas City; Charles N. Has
kell, G. w. Bellamy, Joseph Menefee,
NJ. Il. Trapp and J. p Corners, of the
state banking board Z. b. Cockrel
state bank commissioner OF Oklahoma;
Renfrow Oil & Gas company; w. l..
Norton, Ira N. Cope, A. S. Kimberly,
J. C. Hughes, NJ. A. Mosley, as secre-
tary and director of the Renfrow Oil
g. Gas company: w. T. Kemper and
w. c. Renfrow, defendants"
The suit Is brought for the purpose
of enforcing lien of $4,000 which be-
longs by assignment to the Union Nat
ional bank, against certain twelve
thousand shares of the stock OF the
Renfrow on & Gas company, original
" turned over to the American Nat
ional bank by Norton to secure the
payment of certain notes due TO that
bank. The stock subsequently came
into the hands of the banking board,
during the negotiations following tho
Columbia bank failure, and thence to
the Union National bank, by agree
ment. with the banking board and
Norton.
The Commerce Trust company OF
Kansas City comes into the case by
reason Of having a lien Of It's own on
the stock. The par value of the stock
is $40 share, making the 1900
shares total $4,000. 1t is not known
whether the properly of the company
is worth this amount, but it is known
to be valuable producing property.
1t is charged substantially In the Pc
tition that the state banking board
and the other defendants have acted
in bad faith in the matter, and have
by their actions prevented the Union
National bank from realizing anything
on its lien on the stock. The court Is
asked to compel the production Of the
stock, or to give the bank judgment
for $4,000. the full amount OF the
lien, against the defendants respon-
sible for the alleged fraudulent acts,
and to enjoin any disposition Of the
stock until the determination Of the

Madrid, Oct 3.-The firm attitude

the big farmer in this district. He
raised 1,135 bushels of wheat, 1000
bushels Of oats and will have 1000
bushels of corn. He is now preparing
ground for another big crop of

The object of the excursion was to

From there they toured the eastern
part of Stephens county and tho
southeastern part of Grady county
during the first two days. On the
third day of the excursion they
visited the town of Sterling, and
proceeded from there to Lawton,
where they were the guests of the
commercial club.
On their arrival home on the even
ing of the fourth day they were
greeted by their wives and children,
and by other citizens of the town in
most cordial manner, and found
waiting for them a sumptuous BAN
quet
The results are already apparent
in the large increase in the receipt
OF cotton, hogs and corn. NARROW
boasts that she is the greatest hog
market in southwestern Oklahoma,
shipping from that point this year
200 cars, seven of which were de
livered to the stockyards in Oklaho-
ma City on their opening day.
Despite the drouth, the boil WORMS
and destructive hail in this trade
territory during the past summer,
NARROW will receive this year three
times as much cotton as was market
ed at that point last year, and al
most as much corn. In addition to
this there will be shipped more than
a dozen cars of broom corn and twen.
ty cars Of melons.
The booster spirit as manifested by
the citizens of Marlow and her bus
mess men is invincible, and has
made NARROW one OF the best cit
les in southwestern Oklahoma de-
pending upon agriculture for its sup
port.
Arrangements are now being made
for the building of a creamery, an
ice plant and other industries during
the coming winter. Arrangements
have also been made to secure nat
ural gas from the North Texas field.
The campaign for industries Is being
waged with the same degree of en-
ergy and success as was the recent
booster trip among the farmers.

1t is, of course, possible that the
Grand Canyon OF the Colorado NAV
have been "crack" in the earth
caused by earthquake action. but in
the books of geology we are given
to understand that it is the result of
the wearing down OF the strata by the
action of the waters Of the river It
it impossible to get at anything like 4
definite conclusion as to the age of
the Grand canyon. The figures OF
the biologists differ, but all agree that
the mighty gorge has been many tens
of thousands of years in the making.
