had done little business-less than he
had done during the past ten years in

impossible to do bushes with any Of
the Wholesale liquor dealers in the
several cities he had frequente1 In
this State since the first OF this
month and that he had secured com.
paratively few orders from the retail,
ers. When asked why this was, he
said: "The whiskey dealers in West

that a very large namber, especially

The more the bank guaranty law of
Oklahoma is discussed through the
press and by the bankers and the de-
positors throughout the country, the
more apparent it becomes that there is
two sides to the question and that pro.
lection must extend to the banks as
well as to the depositors. Incom.
petent bankers must be gotten rid OF
and confidence between the depositors
and the bank established. Kansas is
having better success with her guar
anty law for the principle reason that
she has an older established lot OF
banks and perhaps on the whole bet
ter trained lot of bankers.

EASTER GREETINGS.
lno Nv p,nile

Ito My Pupils.)
Goodbye to the dear old Winter,
He has gone with speed-winged fee
To the frozen shores of Zembla,
Wrapped in robes of glitt'ring sleet
Oft we heard his merry whistle,
AS he sprinkled gems Of snow
Ger the cedars quiv'ring branches
Just to please good folks, you know
Winter was a jolly fellow,
To us all he brought good cheer;
All, no wonder we were sadden'd,
When his latest day drew near!
We can't bring him back, dear pupils
So, all vain regrets we fling
To the winds, and shout with gladness
Welcome, little bright-eyed Spring!
For she brings the Happy Easter
Ev'ry time she comes to earth,
And the music of her song-birds
Fills our very souls with mirth.
She has brought the Golden Sunshine,
And the flowers we love to see,
They are blooming on her footsteps
AS she dances down the lea.
Waves of Holy Sound are floating
Ger the hills and through the dells;
"Lo! the Son of God is risen,"
Sweetly say the Easter Bells.
Mrs. w. B. Crawford.

LEAGUE
TO FIGHT YOUNT BILL

BY OUlltu Nhts
Columbus. Feb. 2S-The Anti-Saloon
league Is going to fight the Yount
bill which adds an opuona penaty
of thirty days Imprisonment to county
municipal and residence district
option laws on the ground that IN
stead of making the penalty for con
ducting speakeasies more severe, 1t
really prevents the enforcement OF
option laws.
"Senator Younts bill should be
entitled "a bill TO encourage speak
easy and blind tiger proprietors and
to cripple the enforcement of local
option laws" said Wayne b. Wheeler
secretary of the league. 'If friends Of
the bill want a more severe penalty
let them frame a separate law max
ing imprisonment mandatory for law
breakers and hold officers of the law
more strictly TO account for the en-
forcement of the law"
The .'drys' argue that the Yornt
bill would prevent village mayors
from trying liquor violation cases, be
cause in misdemeanor cases, where i'm
prisonment is a part of the penalty

otherwise It would go TO the COM

OUR WORST FOES.

Hobson Is unquestionably one OF
the most irrepressible and vociferous
jingoes that have ever afflicted this
long-suffering Nation. on Thursday
night he was at 1t again, beating
his war-drum and telling his tale
of blood to the Marine Supplies
Association.
Having satisfactorily scheduled a
war with Japan for the near future
the Congressman continued:
We must either turn our men into
soldiers or stand ready to control
the waters which flow between us
and the martial nations. When we
accomplish this. when we can com
pete on an equal footing, then this
country, with its marvellous produc-
ing power, can outdistance all others
Let us apply history to Mysteries

Since 1890 our poor white-livered
country has cravenly failed either ta
turn our men into soldiers sor con-
troll the waters which flow between
yet our population has grown from
four millions to ninety-three mill

creased TO nearly one hundred and
twenty-five billions, or more than the
combined wealth Of Great Britain

As for the "critical juncture" We
are nearing, we have had critical
junctures before with one foreign
nation after another. We have lynch

WEDDING PARTY
DEvOURED
Seldging Party of 1873 Per
sons Including Bride and
Groom Fell Victim of
Russian Wolves.
BY United Press Wire.

Vienna Feb. 2S.--One Numbered
and eighteen members of wedding
uparty of 120, including the bride
and bridegroom, were devoured by
wolves while travelling by sleds from
Obstipoff to Tashkend. in Asiatic Rus
sia, a distance of twenty miles.
Today's Zeit declars that the two
survivors reached Tashkend in a half
crazed condition, after having at the
last stages of the journey thrown the
bride and bridegroom to the raven
Gus pack Of wolves These four oc-
cupied the same sledge. The surviv-
ors demanded that the husband alb
andon his wife, to tighten the sledge.
but he refused. In their rage, the sur
vivors threw both the husband and
wife from the sledge, thus appeasing
the hunger of the wolves until the
sledge reached the edge of Tashkend.
The women and children of the
party were the first to be thrown to
the worves. 1t is said the party start
ed from Obstipoff in thirty two-horse
sledges and that few miles out
hundreds Of hungry wolves attack
ed them. The men shot many of the
maddened animals but could not
check their pursuit.

The location of the next national
conventions Is beginning to be discuss
ed In washington. On the Demo-
cratic side thus far but four cities
have been seriously disoussed--Cht-
cago, Louisville, Baltimore and New
York. OF Chicago the Democrats
seem to feel shy because of certain
political influences centering there
which might be employed to pack the
convention. There is more talk about
Louisville than any other city, possi-
biy because the present Democratic
delegation in congress Is largely
southern. Also, there is Champ
Clark, by whom all the blue grass
statesmen swear The largely in
creased Democratic representation

The continual cry for relief from
tariff extortion, coming from state
legislatures, city councils, boards Of
trade and prominent men in various
walks of life, found expression in the
house Wednesday in "a resolution in
troduced by Representative Morrison
Of New York, Democratic member of
the new ways and means committee,
requesting the president to call an
extra session of congress to revise the
tariff downward. especially the sched-
ules affecting food stuffs, wool and
manufactures of wool and cotton. Ne
cessity has made the housewives of
the country study the tariff question
and they are for radical reform. 1t is
a magnificent opportunity for the De-
mocracy to make good its pledges to
the people and demonstrate that con-
fidence has not been reposed in 1t
in vain. President Taft must harken
to the voice of the people or greatly
imperil his political future.

The per capita wealth of country
is quite a different thing from per
capita of it's CIRCULATING medium. This
sometimes leads to confusion in con-
sidering the subject, An item re-
Gently appearing, for instance, says
the per capita wealth of the United
States is $24.13. This is based on
the amount of money in circulation
The wealth" of the country was
placed by the census of 1900 at
ssS.527,3O6.755 which would make
a per capita of $1,614.97. The to-
tai wealth in 1910 can only be fully
ascertained after a careful compila-
tion of last years census returns.
That 1t will be much larger than
10 years ago is evident.
