Pointing to the number of deaths
from typhoid fever for the year 1911
as being the low.
Typhoid Death est on record. a

bureau of the cen
sus declares, however, that this is far

Gates that the public health officials
of the country and the people who
support their efforts are awakening
to the necessity of wiping out this

The statement declares that In 1911
there were 12,451 deaths from this
cause in the registration area. This
Is death rate of FL per 100000 COM
pared with 23.5 the year previous.
Lower death rates are also noted in
tuberculosis, measles. scarlet fever.
cancer. infantile paralysis and organic
diseases of the heart.
Increases we're shown in the deaths
from pellagra, suicide and violent
deaths excluding suicide.
The increase in the mortality from
pellagra was large, according to the
statement. During the early part of
the decade, 1900 to 1909, the reported
mortality from this disease was In
significant, two deaths being returned
for 1900. two for 1908 and one for
1904. For 1908, 2s deaths were re-
turned, all of which occurred In south
ern cities. A large increase was
shown in 1909, during which 116
deaths were reported. and still larg-

were reported as due to this disease.
The mortality of $50 for 1911. as com.

much higher than that OF previous

The lower half of the steer Of

the small supply of 1000

NOCAUSE FORVORRY
Senator Warren Need Not Be
Taken Seriously.
National Ruin He Predicts as Result
Of Proposed New Tariff Law ls
Merely Pigment Of Wyoming
Statesman's Imagination.
Gentle reader, do not worry.

Gentle reader, do not worry. .
The fact that Senator Warren OF
Wyoming sees ruin for the country in
the wooden schedule of the Underwood
tariff bill Is not 80 alarming as IL
seems.
Senator Warren owns several mil
lion sheep. He has been called the
greatest shepherd since Abraham"
The Aldrich tariff duty of II cents per
pound on wool gives very tidy boost
to the senator's income-at the ex-
pense OF every consumer OF wool in
the United States. But 80 long as he
can pasture his sheep on the public
domain in Wyoming and Colorado and
the price Of mutton keeps going higher
1t Is not likely that free wool will
ruin even Senator Warren, and surely
no wage Garner who wants a warm
winter coat is likely to complain.
Truth is that Senator Warren has
the habit Of seeing national ruin
whenever he thinks he needs it in his
business. He sees 1t now In free wool.
He would see bigger and blacker ruin
II the government quit maintaining
useless army posts in Wyoming for
Senator Warren's political benefit. and
probably he would think the end of
the world had arrived II congress cut
off his supply OF jack rabbit postof-
fees.
II Senator Warren is unable to earn
his living without government sup
port, 1t would be cheaper to pension
him outright than to let him levy
taxes on American consumers. Mean
time, his yammer about national
ruin" is not alarming. nor even inter-
esting. 1t is merely impertinent.-

kAFIR RULES IN WOODWARD
County Growing Rich by Raising Fa-
vorlte sllage Crop

Kafir corn rules in Woodward coun-
ty, where the crop not only thrives
better than any other, but where few
farmers care to attempt to raise corn
and other risky crops. This is the
belief of A. A. Webb, editor OF
the Woodward Democrat
Farmers in our county have
reached the conclusion that it's best
to play sure game, and for that rea.
son they are planting kafir corn and
producing about twenty-five or thirty
bushels to the acre" Mr.. Webb said.
in other counties could mention
galore, corn is planted just for the
chance yield that comes about once
in ten years in the state.
&C. o. Cozard, grain man of Wood.
ward, has made a fortune in handling
kafir corn. He had but $3.50 when
he started in business few years
ago in Woodward, and he started to
ship kafr to Galveston. He obtained
a good rate on the grain, and made
more than 100000 since he began
making shipments" said Mr.. Webb.

Contrast to Be Noted.

Two southern newspapers furnish
an instructive contrast in breadth OF
view and soundness OF political con-
victions.
The New Orleans Picayune is nomi-
nally Democratic paper. 1t support
ed the candidacy Of President Wilson.
Yet the moment 1t became clear that
President Wilson meant to keep his
own and the party's pledge of revi-
sion of the tariff, the Picayune turned
against him. 1t is now denouncing
him az a radical heavily tainted
with socialism," and protesting or
rather raving against any appreciable
reduction Of the tariff on sugar and
lumber
The Florida Times-Union Is also a
Democratic paper, Of the conservative
type. IL supported Wilson, though
without enthusiasm. But the moment
President Wilson began his work of
securing a revision of the tariff, the
Tlmes-Union put it's entire influence
back OF him. When a clique Of orange
growers in Florida denounced the pro-
posed reduction OF duty on citrus
fruits, the Times-Unlon. in the name
OF the state repudiated their action.
and assured the president that Florida
was seeking no graft and needed no
subsidies

COTTON CONDITION BAD
Long Drouth Fatal to the Big Staple
of the South.

From July 25 to August rs, the
growing condition of cotton in Okla
homa decreased forty-one per cent,
according to statistics gathered by the
state board of agriculture. On July
25 the growing condition of cotton was
given by the board as rs per cent. On
August rs the condition had decreased
to 35 per cent. 1t is said that in many
localities while the plant is green and
apparently in fair condition, the bolls
have been burned by the hot sun so
they have fallen off and cover the
ground.
The growing condition Of corn,
while much below normal, shows a
much less favorable condition at the
end, of August, being "a per cent.
While this general condition exists.
in some places more than the average
corn crops are reported. The esti-
mated yield per acre by the August
report is IL bushels. The estimated
yield of cotton is 10S pounds of lint
cotton per acre. Other crops are:
Cowpeas, 40 per cent; kafir corn, 4S
per cent; peanuts, 81 per cent; milo
maize, so per cent; broom corn, AZ
per cent; spring sown alfalfa, AZ per
cent; fall sown alfalfa, Al per cent.

APPEALS FROM Usage TAX
Attorney General to Fight Federal
Court Ruling on Homesteads

Papers in an appeal to the United
States circuit court Of appeals at st.
Louis, from the decision Of Federal
Judge Cotteral in the Usage Indian
land tax cases were prepared by the
attorney generals office and forward
ed to st. Louis.
In 1906 congress passed law CIV
ing Usage Indians the right to select
three allotments of land, each allot-
ment to contain 100 acres. One Of
the allotments was to be designated
as the homestead and the other two
allotments as surplus property. The
same law provided that the property
designated as Surplus" should be
exempt from taxation for a period Of
three years and the homestead free
from taxes for a period Of 25 years
from the time the allotment was Sc
lected.
In 1910, four years after the pas
sage Of the law by congress, Usage
county officials instituted proceedings
to collect taxes on the surplus porp-
erty and also on homesteads where
the original allottee had died. The
government, or the agents represent
ing the federal government in the
supervision of Indian affairs, brought
injunction proceedings in the federal
court to prevent the collection Of the
taxes.
The case was tried before Judge
Cotteral who held that the surplus
property was subject to taxation after
the expiration of three years from the
time of the allotment was made, but
held that the homestead was not tax
able even though the original allottee
had died.
The government appealed to the cir
cult court of appeals from that part
of the opinion relating to surplus
property while the state has filed g
cross appeal from the holding as to
the taxation of homesteads.

To His Own Self, He. True.

Governor Foss of Mas ~'husetts
was elected to his present position as
Democrat, now declares himself a
Republican, and expects to head the
state ticket of that party at the next
election.
It is an error, however, to speak Of
Governor Foss as having changed his
politics. He never had any politics,
save single-minded affection for him
self and firm faith that the chief
duty Of the American people is to
make him wealthy and famous. He
has not deserted these cardinal prin-
ciples. He is merely trying to get into
the chicken roost from the Republican
side.
