The Latest, Greatest and
Up To-Datest

The system Of advertising
adopted by the enterrrislng
business management OF the
we'll known establishment OF
Peoples Drug Company: has GER
tainly caused wide comment and
considerable furore among the
buying public Of this section.
When Peoples Drug Company
first announced that they would
give away, absolutely free, the
beautiful $500 Upton Parlor
Grand Piano which is upon ex-
hibition in their store, much
curiosity was aroused as to how
they could afford, from a ousl'
ness Standpoint, to do such a
thing, but when it was learned
they would give one piano vote
with every cent paid for any
article in their store; also that
the piano was to be given abso'
lutelv free to the person present.
ing the greatest number OF votes
to them by December ID, 1911, it
looked like an extremely novel

same James B. Aswell was OF.
fered the position Of chancellor OF
the University Of Mississippi
and was about to accept it De-
cause of the increase in salary,
and soon after that the Louisiana
Press Association held its annual
meeting and passed q resolution
petitioning the Legislature to
submit an amendment to the
Constitution to increase the pay
Of the Office of State Super
iutendent Of Education. and
a leading editorial appeared in
each one commencing his course
and asserting that he was too
valuable a man in the affairs OF
Louisiana and his services could
not be dispensed with for the
paltry increase Of salary. Every
parish and town had something
tn saw in the same strain. Pc
! titions by the ton went forth
from every section asking HIM
: to serve the cause which he hac
$ constructed, which brought
y Louisiana up from the sixteenth
n to the sixth place in educationa

The Vital Point.

= !
The respective champions OF
Judge Hall and Dr.. Aswell are a
till discussing the meeting at b
Natchitoches last week between y
Dr.. Aswell and Mr.. John M. T
Parker, when occurred the ex' {
plosion that is still reverberatlng {
through the State. Reflections
upon the varacity of either gen
t]eman, which were perhaps
better left imprinted, are being
banded back and forth through
the press, and the political atmos'
phere has taken on sulphurous
odor at a surprisingly early date.
Strangely enough, the mooted
question seems to be whether
DR.. Aswell or Mr.. Parker sought
the conference at Monroe at
which DR.. Aswell was advised
that he was unavailable as a
Good Government League can
didate for Governor, but would
he favorably considered as a
candidate for United States
Senator or Lieutenant Governor,
or would be retained in his posi-
ton of Superintendent of State
Normal if he would give his sup
port to the league.
The question as to who took
the initiative in the matter OF the
meeting is of absolutely no con-
sequence. Either might have
reasonably and consistently done
so, since both were glad OF an
opportunity to participate in it.
and they were equally disap-
pointed by the result. Certainly
there was nothing wrong in Dr.
Aswell desiring the endorsement
of the Good Government League
nor yet in Mr.. Parker wishing
to winning over DR.. Aswell.
But the vital, undisputed fact
in the transaction, is that Mr.
Parker, speaking for the league
as authoritlvely as ever politica
boss spoke for subservient fol
lowing, commanded DR.. Aswel
to keep out of the race for COVER
nor, but suggested that he woul'
). make q good Senator or Lieuten
ant Governor or even q goo
superintendent Of the State Nor
NAL School under the leagu
auspices. The fact which stand
o out with startling distinction
that Mr.. Parker essayed tn
IT part of a political boss and ID
70 Aswell refused to be bossed.
: It is needless to refer to tt
fact that if DR.. Aswell is GOO
enough for either of the of1ic'
- suxgnested to him, he is goo
enough for Governoc. Mr.. Pa
h. ker has make it PLAIN, has STATE
% in effect, that the only reason
did not present the league e
dorsement to Dr.. Aswell "
because he did not think t
- doctor could win. The polit:'
politician could desire no bet,
reason.
81. Taken by and large the 9
= troversy has shown that ap
. from an assumption on Mr.. z
! kers's part of DR.. Aswell's we
ness IAN assumption which, ]
an safe to say, has been entll
ssh. dissipated,) there was no rea
n Of why Dr.. Aswell should not b
gone into the fight with
league endorsement. In tt
circumstances the exact valu

NINETY MILES OF PIKE.

Possibly inspired by a recent
achievement Of Iowa farmers in build
ing in day good road from Des
Moines eastward to the Mississippi
river. Col. W. H. ("Coin') Harvey is
promoting a proposition looking to the
building. by similar cooperative ef-
fort, of a turnpike from Vinita, Okla,
to Monte Ne. Ark, distance of so
miles.
Meetings are being held at various
points along the proposed route and
the citizens have taken to the idea
with much enthusiasm, as manifested
by ready donations of cash, teams, inn
plements and services.
1t is proposed to do this work in
three days. dividing the territory into
three districts of 80 miles each and
finishing one district day Each
district will be subdivided into as
many districts as may be necessary
for the force of men available to do
the work required in one day. A road
captain who is familiar with road
building will have charge of each sub
division.
Concrete culverts will be built all
along the line and the road macadam-
lied where necessary. A great deal
of the road has been macadamized by
nature and will only require leveling
up and the steam roller to put 1t in

A SMALL LAY SERMON.

Man Is stone-throwing animal, con-
and naturally So AS a
weapon of defense and offense the
stone has been favorite. Perhaps
the first missile ever thrown was a
rock and we have been hurting them
with more or less promiscuousness and
.recklessness ever since. We throw
them alike at friend and foe with utter
abandon
The gospel of John records an event
that ought to be read and studied more
than 1t is. John was newspaper re-
porter of marked ability and discern
ment. He had way of drawing a
word picture that rivited the attention
and gave the fine touch to whatever
he undertook to tell. One day. John
tells of a bunch of men who brought a
woman to the temple charged with an
offense and presented her
for condemnation and stoning. Jesus
Christ was judge of men He could
see the meannesses Of men at a glance
as well as the good points.
Jesus was man himself though di-
vinely human and Johns account of
this incident leaves little doubt that
he was ashamed of the men who
dragged the unfortunate woman be-
fore him. When they had made known
their accusation he stopped down and
wrote on the ground two or three
times in utter contempt of the men.
But when they pressed him he said:
Yes, you may stone her, but "let him
without sin cast the first stone at her"
There were no stones cast that day,
but the miserable ours got up and
sneaked out single file and conscience
stricken. But this withering denunci-
alton did not stop stone-throwing. 1t
has gone on through all the centuries
and will go on to the end of time.

fine condition. Horse creek will be
.bridged, and the present steel bridge
over Grand river will be used in cross
ing the latter stream.
This is a project representing true
progressiyeness. Certainly it will
lend interest to the good roads topic
in the eastern part of the state. The
proposition should interest Checotah
Claremore and Tulsa, in turn Okla
homa City. Who can say that it is

Mangum to Monte Ne?--Oklahoman.
