Dear Editor:
As | have not written to your
paper for year | hope you will
give me space once more as God
has been so good to let me live
through another year.
Well, we have had a very poor
crop year out here in Oklahoma,
but we are feeling greatly encouraged
as the land is getting filled with
moisture and the western country is
having lots of rain and snow. Last
year we made almost a total failure
on our corn, but made plenty Of
cotton and some other crops.
am proud to know that old Ran
dolph county was so bountifully
blessed with a good crop. Farm
work viii begin here as soon as the
land will do to work. We are hav-
ing the toughest weather here that
has been since | moved here.
To my ola friends there from
whom | do not hear, wish to say
that myself and family are in good
health. We are twelve in family
and all eat at the same time. We
have one Oklahoma baby, one year
old, little girl.
Wishing you all a prosperous
1912, | am, yours truly,

Every day we are made to realize
more fully the fact that many of us
spend far to much time in discuss
ing politicians and politics, especial
ly the former, that might be much
more proftably spent in the discus
sion of methods to secure better
public roads, the diyersifcation of
crops, better schools, better citizen
ship and the development of the
country in general. A dozen men
will stand on the street corners for
hours at a time discussing the fitness
or unttness of certain politicians
without securing Il single convert.
That we should be interested in
politics and in the political condition
Of our country is very imperative
and we should be Interested to the
extent that the very best men of our
state and county be elected, but we
should not lose sight of everything
else and 60 wild about some high

Jeff Davis was severely criticized

jeff Davis was severely criticized
for running three times for Govern
or and the criticism was just. Two
terms in that Office is sufficient, and
especially when the incumbent is
not able to better the conditions OF
the State. Governor Donaghey has
served the greater part of two terms
and is asking for the third term that
he may accomplish that which he
set out to do four years ago. A
part of this work the Governor has
accomplished for which the people
are willing to give him due credit,
but he is charged with mismanage-
nent in many other ways for which
he is now being called to account.

OFFICE PHONE NO 30.

We hope the people of Randolph
county will help to roll up a
handsome majority for Hon.
Stephen Brundidge, who is a
candidate to succeed JEFF Davis in
the United States Senate, and we
firmly believe they are going to do
this very thing. This CongressIon-
al district has long been the home of
Mr.. Brundidge and he has been a
public servant of the people and has
served them well in the Congress of
the United States. Mr.. Brundidge
is a man among men, one who has
been in public service for several
years and one whose record Is abso-
lutely clear. No charge has ever
been sustained against him. Even
his opponent, Mr.. Davis, can find no
fault with Brundidge. He has
always discharged the obligations
imposed upon him by the people in
a creditable manner He is a man
of great influence among his col
leagues and always has an eye single
to the best interests Of his constit.
uents. He believes In dong things
rather than in making promises that
he knows he cannot fulfill. His
record in Congress proves that he
is friend to his people and WI
trust that every reader of the Star
Herald will study carefully the
public records OF the two men. Th,
record of each will he laid befor,
YOU between now and the date o
the primary election aud a careful
study of the acts of Mr.. Brundidg
will prove that he is better frlent
to the people and that he is able t
accomplish far more in the interes
of the people of Arkansas than Sen
ator Davis can ever hope to do.

Our present Secretary of State,

The only thing that will prevent
Congressman Joe 7. Robinson
from carrying the State of Arkan'
sas by from 25,O 900 to 10000 ma

will be his inability to meet and
talk to the people. Wherever he
goes the report is the same Rob

sound and his reasoning is at all

The late grand jury for Ran
dolph county rec commended that
hereafter the Judge do not allow
candidates for Office to take up the
time of the court in making politi-
cal speeches at the expense of the
taxpayers of the county. The sug-
gestion Is timely. 1t does seem
that some hour could be arranged
for that would not interfere with
the court. However, the people
who are usually present at court do
not enter any objections to the pro-
ceedings and should the Judge take
the matter in his own hands and
forbid the candidates to speak in
the court house, as Is the usual
custom over the state, he would
probably be criticised more severely
than if he allowed them to speak.

SHELL TO BLIND BANDITS
French Commission Proposes Unique
Weapon That Is Highly
Regarded.

Paris, France.-The warlike destruc-
ton of the Paris bandits several
months ago, when a small army was
necessary to defeat and kill several
terrorists who had turned house in
to a fortress, induced the police to
evolve some instrument which would
protect them from the bullets of SINH
lar bandits in the future. The result
was the manufacture of a powerful
shield designed to protect the police
mans body IN case of future conflicts.
M. Lepine, the project of police, like
wise appointed commission to study
other means OF defense and offense in
coping with the new type of modern
criminal. The commission has pro-
posed sort Of shell, weighing about
a pound, which. by a special appara-
tus, emits a powerful gas which mo-
mentarify blinds the bandits and
makes effective fighting on their part
Experiments with the new
projectile were entirely successful,
and the deadly gas shell has taken its
place among the instruments of police
attack.

constantly. 1t is expected each horse
will drink practically all the water IN
the cup, then before the next horse
arrives the cup will fill and overflow.
This will carry off all the foam and
any dangerous germs the first horse
may have left in the cup. There is
no connection between the cups. 1t is
