Death of Pioneer.

II. Z. Woodbury., a pioneer resident
of Woodruff township, one of Natures
people, who answered the call OF the
quiet woods, the field and the great out
door, passed quietly to the great be-
yond at midnight, Nov. 27, 1914.
He was born at Mendon, Munroe
county, N. Y, Sept. 20, 1S47. When
three and one-half years of age his
parents moved to Bennington township
Shiawassee county with their five child
rem.
In the year 1872 the deceased pur'
chased land which was virgin forest,
this he partially cleared of the large
oaks leaving portion as nature grew
them and which still remain on the
farm where he since resided. This was
the pride of his heart. He was united
in marriage to Miss Barbara Smithgal
of Woodruff, Nov. 90, 1875. She de-
parted this life April 20, 1914. There
were born to their union four children
Amelia, who passed to spirit life IN
infancy; Mark, of Owosso; Verne al
home, and Mrs. Chester Mileman OF
Woodruff. He also leaves two brothers
and two sisters. His brother Everett
passed to spirit life some years ago

The quarantine on the state on ac-

is to be removed except on % coun-
ties and Shiawassee is in the number
although there has not been a case
of the disease in the county. From
the fact that in two townships In
Genesee county cases existed Shia-
wassee is barred flom shipping live

have continued the quarantine on the
two townships in this county adjoin
ing those in Genesee where the
trouble existed might have been al
right but to include the entire county
seems somewhat unreasonable.

North owosso Farmers Club.

On November 27 "a perfect No
vember day a large representation
of the North Owosso Farmers club
and guests met at Riverside the
farm home of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM.
Saver.
At noon a feast was served, after
which vice president T. w. Stiles
called the meeting to order.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. Willoughby
were elected delegates to the state
association of Farmers clubs to be
hel dat Lansing, Dec. /, 2 and 3.
Mrs. K. o. Place spoke of the de-
partment of agriculture having just
issued a bulletin entitled Bird
Houses and how to Build Them"

What makes a good housekeep-
err? Mrs. T. w. Stiles read a clipping
| from The Household, that answered
the question quite fully. There are
many things that mark a good house
| keeper, two of which are the house
where hot water can be had all day
| long, and where useless articles of
any kind are not allowed to accum-
ulate.
Should one take as much pain in
setting the table for her own fam
lily as when guests are PRESENT." Mrs

should, then the children will learn
how to use such dishes as bread and
butter plates, bone dishes, etc.
REGULATIONS were given by Miss
Beth Cory.
| How may woman make herself
a household drudge?" Mrs. E. o.
Place said that the basis of drudg-
cry is monotony. The reason house
work is so otter classed drudgery is
because it becomes so extremely
monotonous. 1t isn't the work itself
that grinds it's the thought of il
day after day, week after week, a
whole procession Of repetitions
through life time. To neglect your
housework is not a crime. To neg

your family is crime. There will
be dishes to wash, beds to make, pies
to bake a thousand years from now
but you have but one trip to make
through the world, enjoy it with
your husband and loved ones. BE
fair to yourself, fair to them ant

The weed problem was talked ov

be dealt with more vigorously. Els

from headquarters in New York to-
day.
In order to make the competition

4 Fight 70 Maintain Two-cent Passen-
ger Rate.
Almost everybody is acquainted
with the great work performed by the
corporation commission. and almost
everybody is acquainted with the fact
that the corporation commission 'was
conceived in the brain Of Robert L.
Williams. democratic candidate for
governor and by him reported to the
constitutional convention and made
part Of the constitution OF Oklaho-
ma.
For months past the corporation
commission has been struggling with
the corporations TO maintain two
cent passenger rate.
The people OF the state ought TO be
interested in securing and keeping the
two-cent passenger fare. The corpora
tion commission has conducted the
fight for the two-cent fare provision
OF the constitution and is ready 10 con-
tinue the fight. When the two-cent
fare was enioined. it was claimed by
the state that the result would Justify
q liberal expenditure in making the
fight in the courts. and TO win the case,
appropriations must be liberal figures
that have been developed as q result
OF the injunction prove that the two
cent fare is worth nearly one and one
half millions per year TO the people
OF Oklahoma. The Oklahoma case Is
now in the federal court aHs it would
be the height Of folly 10 think Of re

Why States Taxes VIII Be Reduce


we have Just finished the com
pilation OF the inventories for the pres
ent fiscal wear which are required TO
be tiled with the state board OF public
affairs by the heads o. the different
state institutions and departments" "
said T. B. Howard, secretary Of the
state board OF public affairs and demo
cratic nominee for the office Of state
auditor. These inventories show that
the state OF Oklahoma owns today all
her state institutions in the way OF
equipment lands, buildings, etc,
which DO not include any land except
that used by the state institutions and
have no connection whatever with the
so-called school lands or public build
ing lands Of the state, a total amount
of property amounting to S9,049,+19.oo.
Al least $1,000. 10000 worth OF this
property has been accumulated since
statehood IN the past it has been
necessary to levy a tax sufficient 10
pay for this property and the large
portion OF our taxes for state pur,
poses has been spent in paying for
these lands, buildings and equipment
At the same time We have paid all
Of the running expenses Of our state
government with comparatively low
rate OF taxation. The total tax Tor
seven years Of statehood has only
been 1855 mills, and out OF this We
have accumulated $7000,O0000 worth
of property. Now that We have the
property on hands and paid for, ii viii
not be neces ssary in the future TO levy
as high rate Of taxation for state pur
poses as We have levied in the past
In other words, it will not cost a:
much to run our state government fol
the next seven years as it has the pas
seven years. Oklahoma taxes hav'
been lower than any other state o
like size, and the chances are brigh
that even this cost will be great.

The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1914-09-25

In his opening address in Chandler,
August Sth. John Fields, in speaking
of viii McBrine, former assistant in
the state auditors office, who was con-
victed Of stealing $27,OOO.OO, said:
When l am elected governor any
whitewash which may be used, will be
liberally dosed with Paris green, and
the pardon clerk will be given an in
definite leave of absence.
Il do not believe that trip to
Europe and a few weeks visit with
friends at McAlester is adequate pun
ishment for stealing S27,OOO.OO OF your
money"
The facts which Fields suppressed,
are these:
First-The people never lost one
cent of money in this transaction. Nc
Brine sold some forged warrants on
the state the payment of which was
stopped, and the bankers who bought
the warrants were the losers, not the
people.
Second -McBrine was prosecuted by
a republican county attorney Of Okla
homa county before a republican court
in Oklahoma county and McBrine
plead guilty to the charge and received
his sentence from the court and served
his term in the state penitentiary that
was imposed by the republican court
The democrats had absolutely nothing
10 do with the case and if. as Fields
says. the sentence was not adequate" "
he has his own party to censure.

ENDORSE NATIONAL
DEMOCRACY.

When the red map OF war covers
three-fourths OF the surface OF the
earth. when kings and rulers are
excited: when ambassadors are Civ
ing expression TO opinions that en-
danger the friendship OF nations at
peace. when a cyclone Of war that
is now laundering and wreaking
destruction in Europe threatens to-
sweep all nations into its vortex,
America might we'll rejoice that two
years ago the ballots OF this country
placed Woodrow Wilson at the head
of affairs in this happy republic.
1t is sufficient to make our people
shudder TO contemplate what would
have been the result had Theodore
Roosevelt been placed at the head
OF affairs. As impetuous as he is,
as ambitious as he is. the Vera cruz
incident would have involved this
country in war. Had his election pre-
vailed the flower o. American man
hood would today have been exposed
to the savage gun OF the MeN.cans
in the mountain retreats OF that re-
public. It would have been a war
that would have cost many lives, IL
could have brought no good results
10 our own people, and We would
have had to pay the seyerest penal
ties
Had We been involved in war on
the south. Japan would scarcely have
withstood the temptation Of seizins
the Philippines. and in this event
there would have been war to the
hilt, and a vast destruction woul|
have been wrought.
If William Howard Taft had beef
chosen president, the war dogs
would have been unleashed beforc
this time. He would have sought
TO retrieve his first miserable ad
ministrauon by appealing TO 'hs
