DON'T BE TEMPTED.

King Cotton is most alluring SOW
creign. Cotton is higher now at plant
ing time than it has been for several
months, and on the Memphis market
middling spots are quoted at II IA
cents.
The planters and the small farmers
should not permit themselves TO be
thrown off their guard by the present
good price in their preparation for
the coming crop.
It win be folly for them to plant
more cotton this year than they did
last year. II they do this, they will
be getting worse than last years pri-
ces.
And II YOU have to pay over $40 a
ton for hay you will lose money by
growing cotton for anything around
ten cents.

THE TITANIC DISASTER.

There was grim prophetic irony
in the naming Of the Titanic, whose
owners borrowed the allusion to the
Titans of mythology, the giants who
warred against the very gods them
selves. For thousands of years tho

achievements or difficulties or fail.

the name has been given a sinister
significance by the greatest disaster
that ever occurred in all the history
of the worlds merchant marine.
Naval battles have sent many more
than 1,4O0 people to death on the
high seas, but they were the deadly
toll from many gallant vessels Never
in all the history of the sea have that
many people pcrished in Il catastro-
phe that befell "A single ship. II has
remained for the largest ship ever

But save for the failure to take
precautions which might possibly
have lessened the chances of wreck,
the Titanic disaster seems to have
been one of those terrible visitations
of providence which mems utmost
provision could have done little TO
prevent; one of those tremendous cat
clysms which sober the world for a
moment or a day, before it begins
again the mad chase after wealth
and pleasure. The sea seems even
more pitiless than the land, for in
all its battles with man it receives
no scars. Its waves close up in the
instant of victory and are as smiling
and treacherous and deadly as be.

have come from thence our most dra-
matte stories and ever for the future
the sea will halo our intensest narra-
tivos. over it now hover the electric
messengers Of the wireless, having
their miraculous power to save and

WHAT THE TITANIC TELLS Us.

First TO leave the sinking ship are
the women and children, next the
male passengers, then the crew, aft
erward the officers of the vessel, and
lastly the captain. This is the law
among the men who go down to the
sea in ships Even the meager story
which the word has thus far received
from the survivors of the Titanic and
their rescuers indicates that this rule
was observed. No unsuitable" craft
has thus far appeared. The boasts
and the owners of that vessel have
been proven to be untrue. The test
to which that ship was subjected
seems not to have been taken fully
into the account by its builders or
owners, for some of the latter ex-
press surprise not only that it went
down so soon after the collision, but
that it went down at all. And yet
the possibility of encountering ice
bergs on the part of the Atlantic
traversed by all lines on the road to
any of our Eastern ports at this timo
every year is one of the well recog-
nized hazards.

so? Poor, infinite souls that only feel
loves ceaseless vigils and stretch IN
vain the longing arms of hopeless sor-
row, think little of the faith when
bids them weep no more and pray Tor
hone and consolation. The morning
brings no ship and night no dear ones
to the home-hearth swept since the
day Of sailing. 1t can not be that the
secrets of the drowned must remain
forever in the inexorable bosom OF the
sea. Surely some wave will bear
them shoreland, some drift take them
ont to the islands where summer Is
eternal and where shipwrecks never
come.

COFFEE HURTS.
One I'm Three.

1t is difficult to make people be-
lieve that tea and coffee are a poison
to at least one person out of every
three, but people are slowly finding 1t
out. although thousands of them suf-
fer terribly before they discover tho
fact.
a New York hotel man says: Each
time after drinking coffee I became
restless. nervous and excited, so that I
was unable to sit down five minutes
in one place was also inclined to
vom!t and suffered from loss Of sleep,
which got worse and worse.

was the cause of my trouble. and sug-
gested that / try Postum. I laughed
at the thought that coffee hurt me,
but she insisted so hard that fin
ally had some Postum made. have

since, for | noticed that all my for
mer nervousness and irritation disap-
peared. began to sleep perfectly,
and the Postum tasted as good or bet
ter than the old coffee, so what was
the use of sticking to a beverage that
was iniuring me?
"One day on an excursion up the
country ! remarked to a yonng lady
friend on her greatly improved ap-
pearance. She explained that some
time before she had quit using coffee
and taken Postum. She had gained a
number OF pounds and her former.

me to quit coffee and take Postum
and was very much surprised to fin

ceived great benefits from leaving of
coffee and taking on Postum"

RECORD Oh THE SAND VOTE


The proposition Of the state TO
lease the sand and gravel beds of the
Arknusas ana Grand Rivers 90 tho
Builders Sand and Gravel Company
are clearly set forth IN the report of
the four meetings of the commission
crs Of the land office Of the state Of
Oldahomo. This report is from the
secretary Of the commission, John II.
williams.
After having held three meetings,
the commission finally disposed Of
the loaslng proposition on last March
20. II is noted In the report Of the
third moctlng, the one in which Gov
crnor Crucc explained his vote
"By Governor Cruce
- desire to explain my vote ! am
opposed 10 the motion, first, because
The board s undertaking TO lease
property without any sort Of knoWl-
edge ms 10 the value of the property
they are leasing and second, without
submitting the matter IN any form
to competitive bids as is done In leas-
Ing and selling an other property be-
longing to the state"
This, It seems, is the only occasion
on which the governor baked In the
entire time covering the four pro-
cecdings. The following Is the last
substitute voted on which passed
unanimously:
THAT the proposition of the Build
ers' Sand and Gravel Company, TO
mine. sell, and dispose Of sand and
gravel from the beds Of the Arllan'
sas and Grand rivers, AZ now pre-
sented to the board, offering the state
royalty Of two and one-half cents
per cubic yard for all sand mined and
sold thcrefrom, and three and one
third cents per cubic yard for all
gravel mined and sold thorefrom, bo
accepted, provided, however, that said
company will agree to and undertake
TO prosecute and defend all actions
as may be necessary TO establish the
states legal right to said river beds.
and will endeavor to collect for and
ON behalf of the state all sums of
money that may be due the state OF
| Oklahoma from any and all persons,
firms and corporations heretofore en-
gagged In the sale of sand and gravel
taken from the beds Of said rivers, for
the consideration of twenty-five per
cent OF the total amount recovered,
| free of cost to the state. as set out In
the lease contract and supplemental
agreement now presented to the
| board"
The objection noted is the only one
made by the governor that is in the
official report, and in this Secretary
Harrison voted with him, the objec-
tion losing two to five.
If there ever was the playing into
the hands of a combine by any state,
! II was in the foregoing proceedings
why any man who owns quarter
Of mile of river frontage cannot 60
! down to the river and get "A shOVelful
Of sand any time he wishes to, is the
thing the people Of the state, and
especially in that part of the state
which is affected by the sand grab
wish to know.
The governor should tell why he
voted favorahly at any time on such
a proposition.

GAMBLING MUST STOP.

There Is no argument whatever IN
behalf Of the open" gambling house.
From Maine to California, wide open
gambling is a thing of the past ana
even up into the frozen north lands
of far off Alaska the gambling fra
ternity Is disappearing from off the
face of the earth. Tulsa is today the
most wide open" gambling town In
the civilized country There are
number Of gambling places here that
are as wide open as the salvation
Army barracks, There are others
conducted with far less publicity, nut
much greater harm and disaster. In
discussing gambling We do not refer
to sem-f friendly games of cards be-
tween friends for nominal stakes ana
primarily for pastime and pleasure.
We are talking about the real ola
fashioned resort fixed up and 1ur-
nished expressly for the purpose Of
getting the money. But Tulsa does
not need any kind of n gambling es-
tabnshment. Too many fortunes are
lost and too many lives ruined in
these dens OF infamy and crime. Most
states are making gambling felony
and the next legislature Of the state
of Oklahoma will make It SO in this
state In the meantime, every decent
and well regulated city is going to put
a stop to II. Muskogec is beginning
to feel the bad effects of its wide
open" policy and has already had TO
take steps to protect Itself against
the invasion of the tinhorns and

roughs and toughs invariably flock
to every city where too much toler-
ance is shown. Some of these folks
are coming to Tulsa. There is lots
Of room here for them. but none
whatever for their line OF business
II is already overcrowdod and a num-
Der of very elegant places will be In
