September is upon us and the young people must be outfitted for the fast coming school days and for winter It IS, good policy to make selections for them as early in the season as pos sible, because the choicest models in coats and dresses are apt to be those brought on by merchants for their opening displays. It may be impos- sible later to duplicate a garment among the early showings, that just suits one.

Matters for Serious Considera.
 tion by Democrats.
Policy of the Party Calls for Deiibera tion of the Wisest Character-Big Issues Are Soon to Be Placed
 Before the Country.

The Democratic majority in the next house is certain to be in the neighbor- hood of 30. This will be ample for strictly partisan purposes in most. ad- ministration matters.
 If the tariff subject were opened up, however, the majority might be insuf- ficient to insure safety for the admin 1StratiOn. There are a number Of Democrats who are in favor of a req sonable amount of protection.
 Any attempt to suspend the free trade clause of the sugar schedule, therefore. is apt to prove dangerous unless the administration is willing to permit general revision of the tariff. Sixteen votes, cast with the Repub- icans, will deprive the Democrats of their majority on any issue.
 Inasmuch as those conditions will pre-. vail, it is absolutely essential that on the issue of national safety the admin istration should take pains to elimi- nate partisan conditions and put pre- paredness on the broad basis Of patriotism, seeking the support and advice of Republicans as we'll as Dem ocrats. National defense will be the big. is- sue. No political consideration should be permitted to interfere with ade- quate military preparations. There are little navy and little army men in both parties. Those who be- lieve in protecting the nation should stand together.-Washing Times.

Demand for Tariff Revision.

There has been an outspoken. na- tion-wide demand for a downward re- vision of the tariff since 1907 In the campaign of the following. year both parties promised it. The party that was given the opportunity to fulfill that promise failed. It failed because the president was deaf to his party s voice and heard only the evil counsel of advisers who were no longer their party's spokesmen. There was not even the false stimulant of uncertainty after the inaugural four years ago. h. stead there was the blighting certainty of betrayal. Big Business chortled and proceeded forthwith to become bigger.

The splitlog drag has contributed more toward the economic mainten ance of public highways than any i'm plement of modern usage. It does not require special acts of the legislature bond issues nor expensive educational campaigns to make it available as usually precedes construction work. A drag can be built or purchased for $2C and is easily operated by anyone who can drive a team. We need more drags.

DOING BIG
BUSINESS

Postmaster Barefoot asks the in
diligence of the public in the matter
of handling the abnormally heavy
mail now coming into the Chickasha
postoffice. Colonel Barefoot says the
volume of mail during the past week
has been the heaviest ever known in
this office.
The employees of the postoffice are
exerting every effort to handle this
mail as expeditiously as possible, but
cannot keep up with the distribution
of the incoming mail The outgoing
mail is being handled up to now, Col
onel Barefoot states, none being al
lowed to accumulate or be delayed.
However, the incoming mail is of such
volume that some delay in its delivery
is being experienced.
Today Postmaster Barefoot added
two wagons TO the city mail delivery
and hopes to keep this delivery rea-
sonably well cleared and assures the
patrons of the office that all employees
are exerting every effort to keep up
with the rush.

Brave Bob BOles
RusheS to Rescue

The horse was seemingly balky and
tricky and inclined to resent the eff
forts of the old man who was trying
to drive him along the streets Of
Chickasha The old man himself act
ed cross and irritable and out of sorts
with the world in general and with the
old wife who sat beside him in the
ramshackle buggy and gently expos
tulated with him for the abusive epi-
thets which he applied to the piebald
horse and the manner in which he at
tended to the horses rear sections
with long and keen buggy whip.
The old man was trying, it seemed,
to persuade the horse to approach the
edge of the sidewalk in duly decorous
form and manner. And the horse was
strenuously objecting. The old lady
was talking, the old man "cussing"
and the horse backing and filling and
side-stepping. Finally after the horse
had turned short about and "cramped"
the buggy until it looked to the un-
initiated to be in imminent danger of
oyerturning and the old man had ad-
an unusually vicious blow
apparently-upo the equine with the
whip. the old lady started to jump
over the high rear wheel of the con-
veyance to the paved street.

"Hey. therel Stop that. cut out the
rough stuff and quit abusin' that hoss.
Don't you see your wife's frightened
nearly to death ?" cried officer Boles
as he left the sidewalk on the jump
and seized the horse by the bit.

and the old lady had climbed labori-
ously out OF the buggy, Officer Boies
