A Temperance oder.

The National Temperance Life Id.
surance society has been organized in
New York. Its organizers claim that
1t is the only life insurance society Ia
the United States which contiues It's
membership to total abstainers. The
further claim is made that the
average length Of life OF total ab.
stainer is 80 years longer than that of
a drinker. The society, however, has
not adopted low rates to, correspond
to this peculiarly favorable mortality.
Its rates are graded to the National

Troubles Of President. Talk Of

Washington, d. c., Dec. a.
Andrew Carnegie will have a place
in history as the greatest spender
the world has produced, or the
patience Of the American people
has ever made possible. But the
canny Scot didn'. make hit when
he proposed to pension all future
ex-Presidcnt's ofthe United States
at the rate Of s25, 900 year. The
consensus ofopiniop at the national
capital is that uncle Andy made a
pretty good suggestion in putting
the question oi the care OF ex-
Presidents fairly np 10 the nation,
hut the idea tha, they should lie
the benehcianes OF the ironnaster
seems to be a misft proposal.
II would be lese. majesty to sug-
gest that president. elect OF the
United States has another guess
coming, but in more diplomatic
lines it is pertinent to observe that
with an "open door" to everybody
at the White House, that there
would in all likelihood be visitots
like Coxey's army several times
day. Even over in Bermuda Mr..
Wilson is being pestered to death,
and when he gets to Washington
he will find that as president Of
nearly hundred million boisterous
Americans, he is the greatest
show on earth, andinstead of the
open door Mr.. Wilson is more apt
to double the White House guard
to keep the crowds back while he
lodges out a side door to take one
of his famous century runs on his
bike.
1t is estimated that the patron
age that will be distributed under
the coming administration, in.
which congressman will have tile
say, will amount TO twenty-five
million dollars. Another case of
the supply being faf short Of the
demand.
Shortly after Thomas Jefferson
hitched his horse that he had rid

across the lot to take the Office Of

date of inauguration from March 4.
A Texas congressman who arrived
early on the ground announces
that he has this same old bill in
cold storage and will take it to the

PROCLAMATION.

The approach of the end OF our
harvest season that has brought US
abundant rewards for the labor we
gave, of itself must remind us OF the
gratitude we experience toward the
Giver of all good and perfect gifts.
Nature, like our humanity, has rs
MANY besetments, and perennial hap-
piness is beyond our earthly lot; but
adversely serves the ennobling pur-
pose of making US humble and pre-
pairing our hearts for the duty Of Civ
ing thinks for the mercies of the
closing year.
Sufficient rains and tempered sun
shine have produced with our labor
abundant crops, and the harvest has
banished the financial stringency
that beset us. Our country has been
notably free of pestilence and infec-
tious disease. Famine has not hinder
ed the liberal exercise of our facul-
ties of industry, nor has want been
manifest. The elements have con-
tributed to our welfare in the absence
of destructive storms and devastating
floods. Peace pervades the hearth
stones of our people and prosperity
is within our gates.
Wherefore l. Lee Cruce, governor Of
the state of Oklahoma, by virtue OF
the traditions of our fathers, the Gus
tom of the age, the authority Of the
law in me vested, and in pursuance
of the policy of the president OF the
United States, recommend and adjure
that the people of the state of Okla
homa shall, on Thursday, the twenty
eighth day of November, 1912, rest
from their labors in their homes

as will properly manifest their hearty

Great work is being done in the

congratulated upon being able to Sc
cure such an excellent instructor.
Only the quickest and simplest sys-
tens are taught, and the results are
exceedingly encouraging, commercial
law, commercial geography, short

keeping are taught. The number OF

TEMPERANCE TIDINGS.
BY C. w. G..

The W. C. T. U. will meet at
the home of Mrs. J. H. Nicholson
on Tuesday, December 10th, at
2::3O p. m.
Ten states have now granted
suffrage to women; a most Won
derful change in sentiment dur
ing the last ten years, and we
expect a great change in public
sentiment in regard to the liquor
question. We have heard people
say that our fight for prohibition
was a mistake; that the cause
will be set back. No defeat
can be blown from the bugle of
right, this is only an incident. 3"
We are engaged in a great war
fare and our defeat in Colorado
was just one lost battle. There
is a story of an old Moro chief in
New Zealand who with all of his
tribe came down to see his first
railroad train. There was in
tense excitement, the Moros
were in war paint. The old chief
tried to move the engine by put
ting his shoulders against the
wheels. He said, You will
never get that thing to 60"
However, at three O'Clock the
band played and the train pulled
out. Then the old Moro chief
danced around the station and
said, You will never get that
thing to stop, you will never
make it STOP" SO it is with the
great movement for prohibition.
God is laying it upon the hearts
of the people Of this generation
to overthrow the liquor traffic
and there will be a way found to
accomplish the impossible.
Jane Addams says: Even a
slight eahileration from alcohol
relaxes the moral sense and
throws a sentimental or adven-
turous glamour over an aspect Of
life from which a decent young
man would ordinarily recoil and
its continued use stimulates the
senses at the very moment when
the intellectual and moral inhi-
bitions are lessened." "
