Knockerisn7 andthe Countru

To the Editor of The Leader: Hav-
ing but recently come to Oklahoma
from section of the country where
more optimistic spirit prevails,
would like to make few comments
on the opportunities of this section
compared with observations made
elsewhere from an agricultural view
point.
In tAe first place, this climate is
ideal. We have had no killing frosts
until a few days ago and with flow
ers and green grass intermingied with
timber. it presents a strong contrast
to the cold bleak prairies Of the
northern states, where they have had
killing frosts several weeks ago.
In the second place the land Yields
well and is adapted to a large vari-
ETY. of crops. There is also much
timber in this section. which gives us
shade and protection from the wind
and from which, we secure fuel and
posts, besides adding TO the charm

with the spirit of part of the peo-
pie, not that they are not sociable
or generous enough as they are the
equal of any country, but rather their
pessimistic attitude concerning their
country. The writer, in making in
quiries concerning this section, has
had knockout shots put to lhim thus:
Cant raise anything in these black
Jacks and this red dirt" or Nobody
figures on making more than liv-
ing here,9 or Cant get nothing for
what you raise here" etc.
What this country needs is some
thing to wake it up, which might be
brought about by the holding of far
mers institute where the farmers
would learn how to produce better
crops and more livestock of better
class and from the increased dividends
work for better rural conditions and
thus knock our pessimistic knocker
out in the first round d-Thos. e Pex-
ton, Mt. Olive, Logan County.

and beauty of our hillsides.
in the third place it is easier for
a poor man to make a start here as
less capital is required stock is cheap
and living expenses are reduced to
the minimum, owing to the abund-
ance of fruit and vegetables and the
need of less winter clothing because
Of better weather conditions.
In the fourth place, this is bet
ter country to invest in as land is
cheap, the soil of good quality ideal
climatic conditions and good facilities
for marketing the produce of the
farm. Bargains in ibo.h stock and
land are to be had and as far as ship
ping to other points than Guthrie
for supplies is concerned the writer
can not help hut observe the cheaper
cos. of Guthrie's line OF goods consid-
ering quality, when compared with
those of the northern cities.
In conclusion it seems to the writ
er, that his main criticism would be

Starving in Chihuahua.
Laredo, Texas, Nov. 17.--Lurid de-
scriptions of conditions throughout
the State of Chihuahua, controlled by
Villa forces, were given by passengers
arriving here from that portion of
the Mexican interior today. Food riots
are an almost daily occurrence, it
was said. With food supplies cut off
from the south and with Villa and his
government unable to furnish food
supplies from the north, conditions are
deplorable. According to descriptions
people are dying in the streets. 1t
was believed that if the entrance and
conquest of the Carranza forces was
long delayed, Chihuahua City would
be stricken beyond immediate rehab-
ilitation.

TAMMANY HOLDS
THE WHIP HAND
16 MEMBERS OF BROOKLYN
ORGANIZATION WILL SIT
IN 9th CONGRESS-

Washington, Nov. 17.--Not in years
has Tammany occupied the position
in national affairs that it will begin
: ming with the Sixty-Fourth Congress,
as sixteen of its members and those
aligned with the McCooey organiza-
ton of Brooklyn will sit in the House
of Representatives. The new House
lineup is: Democrats 229; Republi-
cans 1885, Progressiyes, /; Socialists /
Independents / and one seat contest
ed. The Democratic working major
ity is twenty-five, and DETECTION of
thirteen votes will change the result
on straight party vote, which gives
Tammany virtual control. The
Democratic majority in the last
house of representatives was $50.
That the Wilson Administration will
be strengthened or weakened by re-
suits of the Sixty-Fourth Congress is
not doubted, and the coming of Tam
many with its controlling forces on
the basis as indicated gives the ap-
preaching session a unique aspect
from party viewpoint. It is not as
sumed by those close to the admins
tration that the New Workers will
lead an organized revolt against the
policies of President Wilson, yet the
close margin which must be relied up
on to make safe party program has
occasioned a little uneasiness.
Goodness Between Bryan
and Tammany.
It may be relied upon that Tammany
will not oppose any movement on ac-
count of the expressed opposition of
William Jennings Bryan. The cool
ness existing between that organiza-
tion and Bryan became real ice after
the Nebraskan led the attack at Bal
timore against the candidacy of Alton
B. Parker for temporary chairman of
the national convention, all on ac-
count of the New York support and
the influences he imputed to the move
ment. Likewise, Tammany was ac-
cepted as inwardly lukewarm toward
Wilson, and this situation was ac-
centuated some by the distribution of
