GOVERNORS VIEWS ON TAX
QUESTION IN A NUT SHELL

Oklahoma City, March 1S.-We are
running this state government just as
economically as it can be run under
present conditions.
The cost of state government in
Kentucky, whose area is half that OF
Oklahoma, is twice that of this state.
The actual assessed valuation of
property in Oklahoma. as fixed by the
state board OF equalization, has not
yet reached its true constitutional
value.
The individual property owner and
voter in Oklahoma primarily are re-
sponsible for the high taxes in this
state

WOODROW WILSON
AGAINST THE FIELD

Washington, D. c., March 1S.-Al
though Kansas was prempter Clark
territory, the returns show that Gov
ernor Wilson ran the speaker a neck
and neck race. capturing at least three
of the congressional districts which Sc
lect delegates to the Baltimore con
yention. 1t is likely that the New Jer-
sey executive would have had eight OF
the twenty delegates but for the i'm.
position of the unit rule. This splen.
did showing reflects the strength OF
Governor Wilson right under the caves
of Speaker Clark's Missouri castle
The New Jersey executive is the only
candidate or the democratic presiden
tial nomir ton who is making a con.
test in ev ~ state in the nation, and
his friends have reason to be proud Of
the fine showing they have made in a
state adjoining that of Speaker Clark
and one ia which the speaker has been
delivering addresses, political and
otherwise, for the past generation
The showing is all the more creditable
and gratifying when it is recalled that
thousands and thousands of Missouri
ians are resident in Kansas and that
both of the democratic congressman
from that state made an ardent and
aggressive campaign in opposition to
Governor Wilson and in favor of the
candidacy of Speaker Clark.
In this connection the fact should
not be overlooked that the friends OF
the speaker arranged that the state
conventions in Missouri, Oklahoma
and Kansas should be held in advance
of all other state conventions in the
nation. Speaker Clark and his friends
not only believed that they would get
the solid delegations from these three
state to the national convention, but
they figured that early action by these
conventions might have good effect
in other parts of the country. The
Clark people failed in their efforts to
secure solid delegation from Okla
homa, Governor Wilson breaking even
with the speaker in that state, and il
now develops that the New Jersey ex-
ecutive ran almost even with his in
his neighboring state of Kansas. All
information is to the effect that in
Kansas the supporters of Governor
Harmon and the other candidates sup
ported Speaker Clark, pursuing the
same plan of campaign that presents
but one opposing candidate to Cover
nor Wilson in each state, Governor
Wilson is candidate in every state.
Speaker Clark, Governor Harmon and
Chairman Underwood are candidates
in some of the states.

DR.. Wiley outdone.

DR.. Harvey Wiley, the government
pure food expert, has held the spot
light so long that he is known to every
reading person in this country and to
a great many in other countries. DR..
Wiley's efforts to keep our foods pure
should gain him the support and con-
fidenee of all persons who have the
welfare of their fellow-ma nat heart.
That DR.. Wiley's efforts are made
use of to furnish fun for the threatre-
going public is not unnatural in these
days of free speech, free press and
free stage license. Everything and
everybody is caricatured,
One of the prolonged laughs induced
by the All. G. Field Greater Minstrels
is the defense of Dr. Wiley and his
methods. Unfortunately the writer of
the burlesque did not get further in
his discussion than whiskey and hair
mattresses. However, the fifteen min
utes of fun furnished by this defence
Of DR.. Wiley and the pure food law
creates a hurricane of mirth, particu-
larly the various descriptions of water
and its uses.
AL G. Field has introduced many
funny bits to his supporters but none
more genuinely funny than the pure
discussion. The veteran is still at the
head of his splendid aggregation and

LITTLE HATTIE MAT LUCK"

Hattie Mae, the little 9 year 0 Il daughter of MT. and Mrs. J. T. luck was striken with con- jes;ion, and lived only a few hours. She received all medical assistance possible. but t h e dreaded disease had done it's deadly work.
 Hattie Mae was born Feb, 12 1903 and died Dec. 2nd 1912 Her remains were intered in the Mount Moriah Cemetery where Rev. J. w. Erwin spoke the last words that consigned her to the grave, there to await the Resur- rection.
 Hattie Mae was a lovely child, but the one who knoweth all things best saw fit to take her away from the happy home. and make her his own. While her loved ones and many friends are made sad by her being taken away. Heaven is made brighter by one little jewel being added there.
 We realize that all things. that have existed since the world be. gan, has not made death other than death, and we know that a trust in the one who doeth all things wellwill soothe the wound ded hearts of the loved ones of little Hattie Mae.

A START IN THE WORLD

Many an unwise parent works hard and lives sparingly all his life for the purpose af giving his children "A start in the World" as it is callek. This is a mistake. Don't strive to give you children A start in the world, but strive to give him the power to make A start in the world. Education is & power. Educate you child; ed ucate his body. heart and mind. Then he will not sit down and wait for father to die to have a start in the world, but as an in- telligent man, he will make a start in the world.
 He will regard himself as a man. and you will not find him whining around because no one has not given him a start in the world.
 Setting a man afloat with mon. ey left by his parents is like ty- ing a bladder under the arms of
