ReckIessly Unfair.

Little time is being lost by the
Democratic administration at Wash
ington in securing the spoils of Of
fee" remarks the Philadelphia Press,
with a disregard for veracity that is,
surprising. There are great many
thousand Democrats who would like
to see some Of this alleged haste, but
as yet 1t has not been visible to them.
With the revision of the tariff, the re-
form of the currency system and the
Mexican imbroglio on his hands, the
president has moved slowly in the
matter of patronage, and so have his
cabinet officers. OF course, to a Re-
publican who believes that his party
is of divine origin the displacement
Of single G. o. P. placeholder by a.
Democrat may seem a heinous crime.
To a disinterested observer, however,
1t would appear that the Democrats
have shown great consideration for
Republicans In office. and that the lat
ter have no cause to complain Of their
treatment 80 far.

ALL UPHOLD WILSON
Voters Have Confidence in DEM
oCratiC President.
At the Present Time II Looks as II
He Is Sure to Succeed Himself
as Chief Executive Of the
American People.

That President Wilson will succeed
himself, Notwithstanding the one-term
plank in the Baltimore platform; will
be nominated practically without oD-
position, and be Elected by as big an
electoral vote as he got in the last
election, is the prophecy Of ]. G. Pugh,
OF New Orleans, former Judge of the
Louisiana state court of appeals, who
Is at the Willard.
Politics gives man one opportu-
nifty" said Mr.. Pugh. This is Wood
row Wilson's opportunity, and he is
making and will continue to make the
best Of 1t. Everywhere l have gone
l have heard only good words for the
administration. The people believe
that Mr. Wilson is a man of energy,
unfinching determination, and high
character, and they are heartily in
sympathy with his efforts to force
through the Wilson policies which
they believe are founded upon a de-
termination to fulfill the pledges of
the Democratic platform.
THE tariff and currency bills as
formulated by the Democrats in con-
gress have no serious opposition. The
opposition comes only from the men
and interests that are hit, and 1t is
not serious. l have talked tariff with
many of my acquaintance, and l
have told them that when l was
boy ! frequently went fishing. Some
times l would fish for some time and
not get a bite, then l would either
change holes or change bait. We
have been fishing in protection wa
tiers for a great mahy>Years, and I
do not think we have caught any
thing great; SO l am ready to change
bait and hole.
"As for Louisiana, there are many
persons In the state who are vitality
interested in sugar, but there are also
many who, If there are to be benefits
to follow placing sugar on the free
list, will profit. l may take the view
that the Democrats have made
tactical blunder in putting sugar on
the free list, for in my opinion free
sugar will not result in lowering the
price of sugar to any great extent,
and the government is deprived of a
revenue of $52,OOO,OOO But 1t is not
going to hurt much. Louisiana sugar
lands are capable of raising anything
that grows on top of the earth, and If
the sugar planters find that they can
not produce sugar cane at profit,
they will turn their attention to other
crops"

Profits In Irritation.

An illustration of how it pays to ir-
rigate in southwestern Oklahoma is
afforded in the success which C. w.
Jones, residing northwest of Freder-
lex. on otter Creek, has made with
sweet potatoes. Last spring Mr.. Jones
planted 120 acres to sweet potatoes.
With gasoline engine irrigation out
At he has kept ninety acres of the
tract wet with water from Otter
Crtek He is reaping the harvest
now The irrigated portion of his
farm is yielding $50 bushels of sweet
potatoes to the acre and they are
bringing $3.50 per bushel.

THE SMALL IURIGATING PLANT
TREBLES CROP FROM HOBART
MANS GARDEN.
Only 1000 Farmers In the State
lrrigate-The Other $4,000
Do Not.

A farmer near Hobart has developed
supply of water from two wells, has
installed a windmill, and is pumping
water to garden. His yields are
three times as great as the yields from
his neighbors' gardens, which are not
irrigated.
Each day that the sun shines forth
in all its glory, the Hobart farmer has
the benefit of the rays of the sun to
stimulate the plant life. Also, he has
the benefit of the artificial moisture
and he is not much concerned about
rainfall.
Oklahoma is not an arid state, yet
there is some irrigation in progress,
in every case with pronounced sue
cess. The farmer who has an irri-
gated garden does not stand in fear
of any drouth which might happen
along through any Of the summer
months.
Just why every farm of Oklahoma
is not equipped with an irrigated
garden is one of the mysteries which
no one can explain. An irrigated
garden has a direct effect upon the
high cost of living, stops the grocery
bill, and makes it possible to operate
home cannery during the summer,
so that the pantry will be bullying
with good things to eat after Jack
Frost has put an end to green plant
life.
1t is not too late in the season to
install windmill or gasoline engine,
be prepared to have water for sprink-
ling purposes, and be in position so
that drouth will have no terrors like
II did in 1911.
Probably 1000 farmers of Okla
homa have taken advantage of the
conditions which nature has laid be-
fore them by improving upon and CO.
operating with nature. Just why the
other $4,000 farmers of our state hest
tate to equip their farms or gardens
with simple irrigating plants becomes
q deeper mystery each day that the
weather is clear, from sunrise to SUM-
set.
Yet many farmers of Oklahoma are
learning of the marvellous success
which has been made in California,
Texas and other western states by
supplementing their farm equipment
by pumping water when water is
needed, and it is quite certain that
those land owners who wish to pre-
vent any kind of curtailment Of
crop yields will join the irrigation
army within the present year.

ESTABLISHES NEW GAS RATES
Corporation Commission Takes A
Hand In Shawnee Charge.

Shawnee , has been Disseminated
against in the price charged for gas
by the Shawnee Gas and Electric com
pany, the same concern which furn'
lshes gas to Oklahoma City and Guth.
rie. according to an order issued by
the corporation commission installing
a new rate to be charged for gas in
Shawnee.
There were four complaints filed
against the company, one on the rate
charged for domestic use and the
other three on the rates charged by
the company for gas furnished for
manufacturing purposes. The domes
tic rate now charged by the company
is IS cents per thousand cubic feet
with per cent discount II paid with.
in ten days after the monthly bill is
due.
The new rate carried into effect by
the order of the commission is 30
cents per thousand cubic feet for the
first 100000 cubic feet with per
cent discount If paid within ten days
For the next 100000 feet the rate will
be 81 cents per thousand cubic feet
with a per cent discount If paid
within ten days. For the next 100000
cubic feet the rate will be 1877 cents
with 2h per cent discount and for
all in excess O. 100000 cubic feet
the rate will be 1914 cents per thou
sand cubic feet with a discount of
2H per cen II paid within five days.
A fiat rate of 10 cents per thousand
cubic feet is charged for manufactur-
ing purposes, provided as much as 3,
100000 cubic feet are used, while in
Oklahoma City the rate for domestic
purposes, according to the order of
the commission, is only 80 cents per
thousand cubic feet with the same dis
count concessions as that offered in
Shawnee where the rate is 5 cents
higher, and graduated rate for manu-
featuring purposes, lower than charged
in Shawnee.

Sunday Hunting Is DANGEROUS.


Hunters who have taken advantage
of the provisions of the new revised
code of Oklahoma and hunted on
Sunday, would best take warning and
stop 1t when the new law on Sab
bath breaking goes into effect on DC.
tober 4. The Harrls-Day code changed
the old hunting law so as to permit
hunting on Sunday except around
church houses or hunting quail. This
would leave the hunter to shoot doves,
plover and any other birds in the
open season. The code became ef
fective after May Is, and the new law
was approved by the governor on May
II. Had the law been approved pre-.
vious to when the code became effec.
tive 1t is claimed that the code would
govern. But in this case the law was
approved on the same day the code
became effective but at later hour,
and must therefore take precedence.
The new Sunday closing law also
forbids servile labor. except works of
necessity or charity on Sunday. Also
prohibits working in the trades, man.
ufactures and mechanical employ.
ment, and all shooting, horse racing
and gaming on Sunday. The new law
also forbids all manner of public sell
ing, or Offering or exposing for sale
publicly, OF any commodities except
that meats, bread and fish may be sold
at any time before 9 o'clock in the
morning, and except that food and
drink may be sold to be eaten and
drunk upon the premises where sold,
and drugs, medicines, milk, ice, and
surgical appliances and burial supplies
may be sold at any time of the day.

HERE'S A CORN,
RES|.STS DR0UGH
'scHIRBAR" GIVES A FINE YIELD
IN GARFIELD COUNTY ON A
MINIMUM OF RAIN.
FROM rs TO 60 BUSH. PER ACRE
Resembles Feterta and is a Cross
Developed by John Schribar
from Three Varieties of
Durra Sorghums.

Farmers in this section have be-
rome greatly interested in a new
grain which has triumphantly over.
come the drouth of 1913-the most
prolonged and severe ever known
and has matured yields of grain rang
per acre, in spite of the fact that
there has been less than a half inch
OF rain since June Is and the Their
momenter averaged over a hundred
for all of July and August, with many
days exceeding LOG degrees maximum
temperature.
This new grain is known as
"Schribar corn, from its originator
or grower, John Schribar. a well
known Garfield county farmer. 1t
closely resembles feterita, a grain
which also is making record as a
drouth resister throughout the south
west. 1t has frequently been confused
with feterita, but Mr.. Schribar de-
clares it is the result of cross made
by him seven years ago with three
varieties of drouth-resisting grain sor-
ent strains. Feterita is a member of
the durra family, and is called "Su-
dan durra" by the overnment.
The United States department of
agriculture and the Kansas and Texas
experiment stations to whom samples
were recently submitted, pronounce
"Schribar corn" different from feter-
tia and class it as hybrid, thus sus.
tanning Mr.. Schribar's contention.
The Oklahoma experiment station
classes "Schribar corn" as superior
strain of feterita.
"Schribar corn" natures in ninety
days or fully as quickly as feterita
and two or four weeks earlier than
kafir corn. The grains are much larg-
er and softer than kafir, pure white
in color, and test over sixty pounds
to the bushel as against fifty-six for
kafir corn and milo maize. Feeding
tests indicate that both the grain and
the stalks are more valuable than
kafir.
Mr.. Schribar has grown about sixty
acres of this grain this year. In
addition, probably thirty other farm
ers, to whom he gave or sold a few
pounds of seed each from his 1912
crop, have raised small fields or
patches In every instance these fields
and patches matured perfectly, re-
naming green and growing right
along through the hot weather, while
the oldtime drouth resisters, kafir
and milo, scored almost or complete
failures. thousands of acres never
heading at all The deep green Of the
foliage and the snow-whiteness of the
matured heads stand out in striking
contrast to the withered and blasted
corn, kafir milo and other crops.

Democratic cohsslvsnsss.

The present triumph of the Democ-
racy throughout the nation has been
won by the development of such ca
pacity for common action on the part
of our congressional representatives
as is hardly to be paralleled in our
political history. And 1t is so recent
that Democrats have had no time to

Didn't Omen Ticket Window.

In an opinion by Chief Justice
Hayes of the supreme court, the fine
of $4,000 imposed upon the Santa
Fe railroad by the corporation COM
mission for violation of an order will
stand The railroad was fined for vio-
lation of. Order No. 4, which provided
that the railroads must open the
ticket windows and keep them open for
an hour before the time of arrival of
trains. 1t was alleged that the Santa
Fe failed to open the window at Award
on certain date until ten minutes be-
fore the train arrived, and as result
passengers were forced to pay three
cents per mile. The train was due at
1920 at night. The three-cent rate
became effective at midnight under
the federal court order, but tickets
bought before that time were sold at
the rate of two cents per mile.

Bio Sllane Profits.

Frederick.-John H. Mounts, >mer-
chant at Frederick, and owner of a
farm near town, has sold to a local
cattle feeder $50 tons of silage, re-
ceiving $1,OSO in payment Mounts
filled the silo with twenty-five acres
of corn, dwarfed by the hot winds.
He says that the corn sold as dry feed
would not have brought him more
than $500. Mounts silo was erected
this year at cost of $500, the in
creased profits derived by feeding the
corn as silage having more than paid
for the silo.

amendment is a debatable question.
Some of these amendments, such as
the one taxing cotton fabrics, seem
to have no legitimate place in meas

Protest Against LEASING Metbods

rTotsst against Leasing Methods.
In a meeting held here the execu.
tive committee of the State School
Land Lessees union passed resolu-
tons condemning the policy of the
commissioners of the land office in
the regulation Of leasing state and
school lands
The first resolution condemned the
segregation of vast areas of land not
known to contain minerals, without
notice to the lessees; advertising for
and delivering leases upon state and
school lands for mineral uses without
first having served notice upon the az
ricultural lessees, and in authorizing
mining lessees to enter upon the prem
ises and lands of agricultural lessees
without first having adjusted the dam
ages done the agricultural lessees, by
reason of the mining operations.
Protests were made against the
policy and method of regulating the
leasing OF land as described.
A resolution was passed advising all
lessees to refuse to sign any accept
ance of appraisal of land or improve
ment where the value of the land or
improvements was not stated at the
time the appraisal was made. and
advising all lessees to demand a copy
of the appraisement.
Officers of the union were instructed
to employ an attorney to sue E. w.
Marian for damage done last fall to
the wheat on the lease of Mrs. Suder-
man near Gotebo.
