 Speaking of fish, Hanny tells one story that even his friends believe is true He says they had been travelling twelve miles from camp every day for a week to fish for trout in a crystal brook having read in Outing magazine that that was the kind of a brook in which to find them Finally a young son of MT.

AN OLD WAY TO MAKE COFFEE.

An old Wickliffe way of making coffee was to use an ordinary tin pail with well fitted top. The coffee and water were put in and brought to a slow simmer and never let to boil hard. The lid was always kept on so as to keep in the aroma. Every few weeks a new pot, or rather a pail was bought ard the old one thrown away. After every making the pail was well washed and hung in the sun to be sweetened A coffee pot that cannot be easily cleaned is not fit to come into a mans house.-From the New York Press

Bryan, Brandeis and Wiley

Bryan is Democrat. Brandeis Is
an Independent. DR.. Wiley was Re-
publican. All are for Wilson.
Let US note what they say as to
Roosevelts party. For by common
consent Taft seems to be out OF the
running and the fight to be between
Wilson and Roosevelt.
Bryan writes In The Commoner OF
Roosevelts trust policy: First. ac-
cept the trust as permanent insti-
tuition and thus encourage the con-
solidation of all business into great
monopolies; second. withdraw from
the states all power to restrain pri-
vate monopolies and then trust to
bureau at washington to regulate
these monopolies; third. remove all
limitations as TO number OF presiden-
toal terms and leave the president to
use the bureau which he appoints to
coerce the monopolies which the
bureau controls. and through the
monopolies the employees and the bust

vert the chief executive into a presi'
dent for life. This Is the most auda'
cious attempt the country has yet
seen to set up oneman government
and maintain 1t by the influence
which the executive can bring to bear
through bureau"
Then Brandeis says: The new
party must fail in all OF the important
things which II seeks to accomplish
because II rests upon fundamental
basis Of regulated monopoly. 0ul
whole people have revolted at the
idea of monopoly, and have made mo

protective tariff band OF socalled
Democrats, and IL there Is one thing

STATE MAY VOTE
ON THE RECALL

Oklahoma City, Oct. S.-Campbell
RusseIrs initiative petitions. through
which it is proposed to recall the pres
ent board of agriculture, were sustain
ed by the supreme court in an opinion
by Justice Dunn, which reversed the
ruling of the secretary of state. The
court ordered the clerk to certify inn
mediately the proceeding to the secre-
tary of state with instructions to place
the proposition on the general election
ballot. The decision is accepted as a
decisive victory for the initiative and
referendum law. 1t lays down the rule
that technicalities such as are usually
employed to prevent law from being
carried into effect, will not be tolerat-
led.
The question probably will go on a
separate ballot, since the main bal
lots, 100000 in number, are about all
Iprinted.
Russell's petition, which was promot-
ed through the Peoples Power League
of Oklahoma, has been before the sec
retary of state in one form or another
for many months The appeal decided
was on finding by the secretary of
state that the petitions were INSULT
cient. This was based upon the claim
that residences of the signers were not
Igiven in many instances, that sigma
lures had been improperly copied in
the AFFIDAVIT, that the petitions EN-
braced more than one county each, and
THAT doubtful Legality of about 10 per
cent of the signatures was shown by
letters sent to them being returned
unclaimed. =
The clerical features of the holding
were discussed by the supreme court
as technicalities. Names attached to
the petitions the court said are pre-
sumed to be of lagally qualified cleo
tors and citizens, and to defeat the
submission of question supported by
the signatures, the burden is upon the
protesting party. The returning let
ters is not sufficient, in the absence
OF other proof, the court held, to over
come the presumntion, neither is the
fact that more than one county was
used in single petition, nor the fact
that the copying in the affidavit was
