FouR YEARS OF STATEHOOD.

Four years ago today On Nov. le.
1907. Oklahoma made her debut into
the family Of American states and
the inhabitants OF the newly born
commonwealth rejoiced with great
Joy. The hopes Of the people Of Two
territories after many weary years Of
delay and struggle. had found full
fruition in statehood.
-Four years ago today Charles N.
Haskell, the first governor. was in
augurated and the machinery of state
government was set III motion. The
long period Of carpet bag rule dur
ing which the two territories we're
tied ike step-children to Uncle Sans
apron string IF our uncle VIII per.
NIT this awkward figure Of speech
had ended and the vigorous infant
started to shift for ITSELF.
TO write the story Of these four
eyentfnI years is the work Of the
historian. Suffice it here to say thar
during this time. Oklahoma has made
marvellous progress. The consfitu-
ton which we adopted. condemned as
radical ii the extreme BY reactionar-
ies at home and abroad. has become
the model which progressiyes every
where are copying and the principles
embodied in it are the hope OF the
people.
Industrially and commercially the
history Of our first four years has
been one Of steady advance. Our
population has grown from sl.4l4177
to nearly 100000 and in all lines our
progress has attracted the attention
Of the entire country.
It vas not to be expected that the
wonderful impetus given BY state
hood would operate as a permanent
force but it had marked effect in
stimulating the people to prodigieus
exertions. Since that time Oklahoma
has settled down 10 the steady. nor
nal development which Is the out
growth Of the natural advantages
and conditions here that make for
progress. The best part Of Oklaho-
mas career is still in the future.
Temporarily checked at times by ar
verse circumstances, the onward
march Of the young state cannot be
permanently held back as long as
our abundant natural resources re-
main unexhausted and that cannot
come to pass for many years. Okla
homa today offers opportunities to
the man or moderate means second
10 no other state and IS still an in
yiting field to the man who is gifted
with genius for hustling.

snYAN IS SUSTAINED

In his discussions OF the supreme

lion that by reading the word un-
reasonable into the Sherman ant

the defendants raise the same point
that Mr. Bryan has brought out and
they propose to carry the issue to
the supreme court for final decision
As interpreted BY these attorneys.
the STANDARD OIL decision renders
the criminal clause Of the law null and
void.
As summarized in the press re.
ports. the petition Of attorneys FOR
the packers declares that the su-
pgeme court in the tobacco and Oh
cases converted the Sherman Law in
to an illegal enactment. since BY plac-
ing each individual Or corporation on
a srzulzrd Of its own. tuiit up-on its
peculiar individual acts, took away
from all individuals the possibility
Of knowing how their acts were to
be viewed BY jury in the light OF
reason" That this obscurity Of the
definition Of what constituted a crime
was contrary to the eighth amend
ment Of The Federal Constitution.
We quote as follows from the pack

Women who bear children and re-
main healthy are those who prepare
their systems in advance Of baby's
coming. Unless the mother aids
nature in its prenatal work the crisis
finds her system unequal to the de-
mands made upon it, and she is often
left with weakened health or chronic
ailments. No remedy is so truly a
help to nature as Mothers Friend,
and no expectant mother should fail
to use it. It relieves the pain and
discomfort caused by the strain on
the ligaments, makes plant and elas-
tic those fbres and muscles which
nature IS expanding, prevents numb
ness Of limbs, and soothes the infaiu-
nation Of breast glands. The system
being thus prepared by Mothers
Friend dispels the fear that the crisis
may not be safely met. Mothers

HOW TO CARE FOR BOOKS.
They Should Not Be Crowded Into a
Shelf or Left Too Loose.

They Should Not Be Crowded Into a
Shelf or Left Too Loose.
Books are frequently ruined through
,arelessness. This Is less in the han.
ding often than upon the shelves.
Many reader who would scorn to
bend book back when open will put
It to worse strain on the shelves.
Books should not be packed tightly
on shelf. II ruins the backs and
causes them 10 tear loose with the
strain of getting In and out. Often It
forces the leaves to sag to the shelf
when pushed unduly.
1t Is just as bad for books to be too
loose on the shelf, as they warp and
the spreading leaves encourage dust
A bookcase with the contents at every
angle Is not n pleasing sight
There are some housekeepers who
think a yearly busting of books at
housekeeping time sufficient. This is
bad enough when they are kept under
glass; when on open shelves Il means
ruin to valuable books. II takes little
longer TO dust the backs and tops OF
books on each shelf every day. Use
soft cheesecloth or silk buster and
shake 1t frequently.
Many valuable books are ruined at
housekeeping time This should be
twice year and Is not burden II
Systematically done a shelf at time
The old plan OF heaping the contents
OF library indlscrimInately on the
floor while shelves are washed has
nothing to recommend It. See that
shelves are dried after washing, as
books are ruined by dampness.
In busting the book itself clap the
backs lightly together, then dust the
outside. Never use damp cloth on
book II It has been wet absorb most
OF the moisture with n blotter and
soft cloth, then dry under pressure TO
prevent warping.
Forbid Young people TO handle books
until they know how 10 protect them.
II ~ well TO use covers to protect a
book when held by grimy young hands.
These can now be bought In different
sizes 10 fit almost any book aud can
be used repeatedly.
