The agricultural situation in South
ern Oklahoma is very favorable a.
This time. Corn is about 80 days
late and the acreage is somewhat
less than the usual acreage. The
stand is very good and the plant
is growing rapidly at this time. The
oat crop Is very good and the acre
age IL above the normal acreage.
The plant is looking as well as IL
possibly could and bumper oat
crop will be harvested, Much inter
est is being taken in alfalfa grow
ing. This plant yields unusually
well here and every farmer who
has tried II ia increasing the acre
age from year to year. One crop Of
alfalfa will pay double the price OF
the land II is planted on. Any land
that will grow alfalfa az the lands
here grow it is worth 500 an acr"
and when s35 lands will grow it
there Is money in investing in these
lands. Other forage crops which
are being grown here this year are
kagir. milo, cane and millet.
No, a great deal Of wheat has
ever been grown in this immediate
section, but the acreage this year
is abou, three times wha, il has
ever been before and the plant 's
looking welt. In fact, every farmer
says that he could not ask for his
grain crops 20 look any better or
be more promising than they are
this spring.

ailing for a long time with heart
trouble.
Mrs. Phillips was born in Ovid AZ
years ago. For a number OF years
she was engaged as school teacher
in the schools at Ovid, Fowlerville
and Greenville. She was member
of the First NJ. E. church, of the Wo-
mans club ana the w. c. T. u. A
woman of education and a kind anc
devoted mother and wife, she was
beloved by host of friends. Deceas-
ed had resided in Owosso for the

dog in the express car that could not

up his tag; or like the boy on the
hobby-horse, swinging to and fro,
making himself imagine that he is
going a mile a minute, when in fact
he is only wearing out the carpet by
continual friction in one place; or
he is like the little shippers that
amused us in our childhood days
lodging about over the surface of
the pool or pond, performing their
fantastic circles, skipping in all di-
reotions, bristling with intensity AMI
action, but impressing even the
mind of the child with the vast
amount OF economic waste incident
to such aimless activities.
Our country just now has a super
abundance of skipper statesmen,
men who are utterly aimless in their
activities, who, as Abraham Lincoln
once said, Uniting in their determi-
nation to break with the past, cannot
agree. upon any plan for the future"
Processing progression, they are in
deed reactionaries, proposing to turn
from our representative system OF
government back to- the direct dem
ocrats of ancient Greece and Rome
conditions which became so intoler-
able to the people that they finally
hailed the tyranny of an absolute
despotism in preference to that Of
absolute democracy.
These agitators do not hesitate to
play upon the impulses OF the masses
Indeed, their appeal is to passion
rather than reason. They preach
"class consciousness" pander to pas
sion. engender strife. hatred, rest
lessness, and the spirit of revolution.
They decry the existing order of
things, forgetting that it is more
easy to denounce than 10 prescribe,
less difficult to blast than to build.
President Taft is not this type Of
progressive. His progress is not
that of conversation, but conserva-
ton; not talk, but action. Abraham
Lincoln once described a little steam-
said, 1T has boiler three feet long
and whistle five feet high, and
every time it whistles it stops. Pres
ident Taft is net a whistling progress
sive. He moves along the highway
of history. He is old-fashioned
enough to believe that some things
in this worli are final, fixed beyond
the possibility Of change or amend
ment, and that out OF the political
history of the centuries principles
of political science have been evolv-
ed which are vital to political sta
bility, human progress and civili-
zation; that right is right, truth is
truth, and when these inalienable
principles are assailed the life of the
nation is imperiled.

He is a real, genuine, Simon-pure

is neither reactionary not revolution
airy. The reactionary is the man
who would worship the devil because
OF his antiquity. The revolutionary
is the man who wearies of God be

The progressive Is the man who
reveres the past, meets and treats
the necessities Of the present, and
moves steadily toward the future.
He carries with him the past, just as
the building carries with 1t the foun-
dalton, as education carries with IL
rudimentary knowledge. The time
comes when the child must advance
beyond the alphabet, but there Is
not moment in the unfolding and
maturing mind of the child when the
alphabet is not utilized. Out of 1t
language and literature arise. SO the
progressive clings to the past, to the
cumulative treasure of the ages, the
precedents, principles, teachings and
tenents of the centuries. This Is
progress, in harmony with the course
and constitution of things, the pro-
pulsive power of which is evolution
rather than revolution.
President Taft is an evolutionary
progressive. He keeps step with the
music of the centuries. His is a
definite program. with a beginning,
middle and an end. He knows
what he proposes to do, how he pro-
proses to do 1t, and where he pro-
poses to go.
There is difference between pro-
gress and motion. Some professed
are full OF motion, but
they get nowhere. They are like the
