POLITICAL GossIPS

When one class of people has any
thing to say, it has become largely
the custom to make a political issue
out of it instead OF a friendly discus
sion to print it in law book instead
of a newspaper and to argue it be-
fore a jury instead of to settle it in
the higher courts of Common Sense.
AS a result, political agitators, polit-
ical lawyers, political preachers and
masculine women are powerful in
politics and dissension, selfishness, in
tolerance and Mysteries run rampant
in public affairs, for when the low,
damp, murky atmosphere of misun7
derstanding envelops public thought
it breeds political reptiles, vermin,
bugs and lice which the pure air Of
truth and the sunshine of understand
ing will choke to death.
We have too many self-appointed
capable of grasping the fundamental
principles of business and who at best
can only translate gossip and add
color to sensational stories. No busi-
ness can stand upon error and might
rules-right or wrong. No industry
can thrive upon misunderstanding
for public opinion is more powerful
than a Kings sword.
When prejudice, suspicion and
class hatred prevail, power gravitates
into the hands of the weak, for dema-
gogues thrive upon dissension and
statesmen sicken upon strife.
The remedy lies in eliminating the
middleman-the political gossip-and
this result can be accomplished by
the managers of business sitting
around the table of industry and talk
ing 1t over with the people. Inter
change of information between indus
tries and the people is as necessary
to success in business as interchange
in commodities, for the people can
only rule when the public under
stands Away with political interpret
ers who summon evil spirits from
their prison cells and loose them to
prey upon the welfare of the people
in the name of My Country

MAN, REPORTED DEAD, WRITES
Lamar, Mo-, Mother Gets Letter from
son in British Army.

Lamar, Mo, July 19.-Mrs. A. R.
Richardson today received a letter
from her son, Tracy Richardson, Of
Lamar, reported to have been killed
while fighting with the British army
in France As a result, Mrs. Rich
ardson is convinced that the first
report was an error and that her son
still lives.
The letter was written from Man
chester, England, where Richardson
was recovering from three wounds in
fiicted by a bursting shell. He wrote
he was mending rapidly and would not
return 10 the trenches for a month.
AS the letter was dated June % and
the news of his death came by mail
first to FL Paso, Tex, where Richard
son is known, it is thought that the
first message was incorrect.

COUNTY DEMONSTRATION AGENT
Some Things the County oemons'ra-
ton AGENT Has Done.

Oklahoma has one Of the best organ
lied BOYS and Girls clubs OF any
state in the union, and the county
agent Is one cog in the wheel mat mas
brought this about.
The Carter county agent has won
first in the corn club and first in the
cotton club. and fifth in the cotton
club team in the state.
think this is record to be proud
of to say nothing about the good 1t
has done. The county agent was the
direct cause Of the grain sorghlms
being introduced into this county,
thereby insuring plenty Of feed for
those that viii grow same.
The agent is always booster for
good roads and IS active in the build
ing Of same.
The agent is always on the lookout
TO place some renter on a place Of
his own, that he may become a better
citizen and better community
builder.
He IS a friend to the man who
wants to buy or who wants 10 sell,
also to the landlord and the renter
He breaches diyersihcation in sea
son and out and he has promoted the
home garden in this county until it
has become one Of the most "liuable
plots of land on the farm.
He has also encouraged the canning
Of the surplus Of the garden and
thereby reduce the two million iollars
that Oklahoma pays for canned goods
annually.
The county agent believes that ey-
cry child in the county is entitled to
as good schools as the children Of
Ardmore now enjoys, and he will CON
tnue to boost and agitate this matter
until every child in Carter county will
have the privilege Of attending high
school and staying at home while
doing So
Last but not least, when the dem
onstratlon work was first placed in
Carter county, we brought in from
1900 to 1900 pounds Of seed cotton
to get a 5OO.pound bale, and now we
bring in from 1900 to 1900 and get
the 5OO-pound bale just the same, and
the county agent was the whole cause
of this change, and allowing only $1OO
per bale for this greater lintage of
cotton, this would mean approximate
" twenty thousand dollars annually
to Ardmore and its trade territory.
The interest on this money for one
year alone, not to mention all the
years that are past and the years to
come, will more than pay what the
agent costs the county for four years
Yet in spite of these facts, some men
will say that the demonstration work
is not worth the price. and our county
commissioners have refused to appro-
pirate the $500 necessary to carry on
this work. X. l.. SCOTT.

PHILIP

Philip. the Macedonian king. while
drowsy with wine was trying a case
and the prisoner after sentence was
pronounced, exclaimed, Il appeal.
And to whom do you appeal?' in
luired the astonished monarch. Il
appeal from Philip drunk to Philip
sober" replied the prisoner, and the
king granted the request and at re-
hearing gave the prisoner his liberty.
The people drowsy with the wine of
discord ofttimes pronounce a verdict
on public questions which they reverse
in their more calm and deliberate mo-
ments. The next best thing to make
ing no mistakes is TO correct them.

HOFFMAN LOSER
IN CHALLENGE SHOOT
Joe Greaves Kills rs Birds; Win
ner Accepts Challenge From
E. Bose; Dinger Next

Izzy Hoffman is no longer State live
bird champion. Joe Greaves, of Della
ware Water Gap, won the title yester-
day at Delaware Water Gap, killing
every bird. Hoffman missed swift
wing carrier. Two challenges reached
the winner Immediately after the
shoot. One was from Fred Dinger, of
Harrisburg, and the other from E. B.
Rose, of Philadelphia.
Greaves accepted the Rose chal-
lenge and the Shoot-on will take place
on April at Delaware Water Gap,
where yesterdays event took place.
The winner of this contest will meet
Dinger
Hoffman a few days ago made a
sweeping challenge, and it is under
stood that he will meet all comers but
cannot do much shooting in the East
until after the close of the baseball
season, as Hoffman leaves within two
weeks for Peoria, Ill.
Loses His First Bird
The conditions governing the State
challenge trophy match call for 25
live birds per man, not less than 25
yards rise nor more than 33 yards
rise. Hoffman, as the holder of the
championship title, named thirty
yards rise, and after a battle royal
before the traps, in which IZzy Hoff-
man lost his first bird. twisting left
quartering bird that successfully
lodged both loads, Greaves succeeded
in killing his twenty-five straight and
a new champion at live birds was
created.
Hoffman finished with twenty-four
kills recorded and was a very much
disappointed man, as both he and his
friends felt confident Izzy could de-
feat the wing shooter from the Water
Gap.
The birds were a selected flock and,
assister by a high wind, took quick,
accurate shooting to bring them to
earth inside the wire boundary, and
sensational long shots were numerous
that brought applause from the large
gallery that numbered close to five
hundred spectators. The scores fol-
low!
