is reaping the reward of his labors. be-
side having all those4years the protec-
ton and the pleasure such a fine grove
would give. He has now just complet-
ed thinning out the trees and cutting
the smallest of them and has had a
saw busy and has 10000 feet Of as fine
lumber as can be found anywhere. This
i.s lumber which would sell anywhere
for from $40 to $50 per thousand feet
He has at least $4,000 feet left but he
will be in no hurry in disposing Of this.
He believes in conserving the lumber
industries and is confident in the opin-
ion that few acres planted to these
fast growing trees would provide farm
ers with all the lumber they would need
in keeping up their farm buildings.

Any one of these would be satisfac-
tory TO the rank and file of the Demo-

Democracy is to unfurl a standard 10
which Tue Zeal PIogressives, Of auy

guesses to determine whose standard
that would be.
Ii would be man who really be-
lleves in government by the people and
who is Wiling to trust the people three
hundred and sixty-five days in the
year. A man who stands for advance
ment: not recession. For development
not destruction. For regulation; not

the Honorable Woodrow Wilson of

We want Wilson, not because he can
carry his State for little should we
care whether that experimentation
borough supports him or not. We
want Wilson, because the "interests'
that dominate his State cannot domi.
nate him.
Democracy can win with other can
didates, but victory with Wilson would
mean more than the election of the
ticket. 1t means victory for progress
and one that would be lasting in its
scope.
Okiahamo boasts of being progress
sive and never was there better chance
to prove il. Let Oklahoma base her
choice on higher grounds than tavonte
