Revolution"

John Clay, Jr, who dates his Wyoming residence and experience
back more than forty years, is a democrat, but he is also without
cant and hypocrisy. He is an honest man and not afrsid to sneak
his mied. In the last issue of the Live Stock Report, issued by CLAW.
Robinson d Go. appears the following article signed u. c." under
the caption, "Revolution."
"Boodless, but yet a revolution. This happened at Washington.
ID. q, last week when the representatives of four Raload Brother
hoods forced an eight hour bill through both houses of Congress,
having previously secured the support o. the President.
"There is a little country town called Jedburgh in Scotland. 1t
is the capitol of the county of Roxburgh in the beloved BorderIand,
There in the old days of cattle stealing they administered "Jethart
Justice" 1t meant hanging first and trial afterwards 1t was eHee-
tive in those lawess days. We are returning to it. Four railway
highwaymen point their pistols at our Washington Legislators and
say: Pass this bill Or we will shoot The word shoot is changed to
strike With bowed heads President, Senators, Congressman rush
a bill dictated by the brotherhoods through the usual course and it
becomes a law in less than a week, The public whom these men
are never consulted. Iii 8 a stampede, a Legislative hurricane
and over a hundred million citizens or their dependents have to nav
the piper. The arstocrats of labor have throttled Congress. The
man who will need to shoulder a great part of this extra load in the
shape of rates will be the farmer aud rancnman, who in the summer
work twelve to sixteen hours a day and have no friends in Congress
except at election time. The days of arbitration are over. The
quartette who lead the railroad men are the judge and jury. You
have no voice, only acquiescence and bitter experience.
But revolution brings retribution"-J, @.

MCDANIEL IN RACE
FOR COURT CLERIN

This paper is authorized to an
nounse the candidacy of Marvin Nc
Danitl Of Durant for the office Of
county clerk Of Bryan County, sub
iect to the action Of the voters Of the
county at the democratic primary 10
be held August 1st, 1916, and under
the proper heading in our announce.
ment column the reader will find his
name.
Marvin Mcdaniel is one of the old
timers. from the standpoint OF long
residence in this country, and by init.
mate association with the public In
varying capacities for many years,
has formed large circle Of friends
and acGuointances, which makes un-
necessary any lengthy introduction
at the hands Of this writer.
Seven or eight years ago he was
associated with the First National
Bank Of Durant in a clerical capacity,
during the life of the late Edward
Rines. and there acquired a reputa-
tion for speed and accuracy at fig
ures, quality essential in a court
clerk. Since that time he has been
engaged in the laundry business and
other enterprises, and appearances
indicate that his efforts I'm these di-
rections have been crowned with sue
cess.
Marvin is a Democrat, and would
not know how to vote the ticket Of
any other political party, he says.
Marvin is not the man to say he
has never sought office and never
will again, for history records a time
when he was elected member of the
Durant city council from the second
ward and that same history that Du-
rant people know by heart records
his faithful attention to duty and his
careful administration of affairs.
There is no question as to his COM
petence and ability to handle eff
ciently the work Of the office, and he
pledges his friends and supporters
that their vote and influence exerted
in his behalf will be repaid with eff
cient service and careful attention TO
the work Of the office.

State Superintendent R. H. Wilson
is sending out with the new course
of study for common schools, a letter
discussing the school situation in Ok
lahoma from the point If view of val
ue in dollars of the work that the
schools are doing. Cost and value
of high schools is treated os follows:
"The records show that in the
towns maintaining high schools in
Oklahoma, we are spending $25.12
per year per pupil for education, or
in other words. the difference in cost
TO n city between a boy who can
neither read nor write when he is Is
years of age and one who has a
high school education, which ought
to fit him for practically any of the
useful vocations of life, is $301.44.
The farmer is spending S1125 pei
year for eight years. or a total of $50
more for the boy who has completed
the eighth grade school than for one
who can not read and write at the
age of IA or Is. II costs as much to
keep one man in the penitentiary for
one year rs il costs to keep nine stu
dents in the State Normal Schools of
Oklahoma. The United States Cove
ernment spends $4,000 for every
man graduated from West Point and
guarantees him position at 1925

cellent chances for promation."

OATS GOOD WEST OF CALERA.

The writer had the pleasure of a
few days visit in the country west of
Calera last week and found all grow
ing craps in excellent condition. The
prospects for good oat crop in that
vicinity are better than they have
been in many years and the increase
is larger than usual as we'll. Cotton
is up and coming, and most of it has
been chopped to a stand. Most OF
the corn is looking good. but a little
of it is backward by reason of being
replanted. Most everybody in that
neighborhood have planted more or
less Spanish peonuts this year.

COMMUNITY SUNDAY SCHOOL
Forty-Sevcn Out of Forty-Eight Are
In Attendance.

In one community in Bryan county
there are forty-eight families. In that
community forty-seven of the fami-
lies have been represented in the
community Sunday school which is
held in the Dunnagan school house
each Sunday afternoon, and last Sun
day united effort was made to get
the last one in the Sunday school
This record was spoken of yesterday
by County President j. b. Hickman,
of the Sunday School Association.
who made a visit of the different
Sunday schools of the city, in the i'm
treest of the county convention at
Bokchito on Thursday and Friday of
this week
This is ane of the ideal community
Sunday schools, and only goes to
how what can be accomplished when
one starts along the right line. When
his Sunday school was started in
terest in this character of work was
not as great as it should have been,
but now see what has been accom-
plished. 1t was also stated that the
attendance of the day school has in
creased nearly so per cent Mr.. Hicb-
man had a map of the school house
and district and with red and blue
labels showing the number of fami-
lies represented in the Sunday school
and the number that were not. The
blues showed those not attending,
and Sunday by Sunday the blues
have been Withdrawn and the re
placed thereon. until yesterday there
was just one blue card on the map.
It was the intention of the Sunday
school to have every family in the
community represented in the Sun
day school and the entire Sunday
school attend the county convention
in a body. The school house is only
few miles from Bokchito.
In the Sunday schaal the attend
ance is greater than almost any OF
the Sunday schools in Durant, and
the mems class is larger than any Of
the mems classes in this city. This
is wonderful record and shows
what can be accomplished when the
community spirit is working.

CROP CONDITIONS
WE'RE NEVER BETTER.
Daily OlSIahoman's State Wide Crop
Summary Gives Bryan County
Ouite n Little BOost

Daily OlSlahOman's State Wide Crop
Summary Gives Bryan County
Quite n Little Boost.
The Daily Oklahoman's state wide
crop summary has the following IN
regard to crops and crop conditions
in this county:
Notwithstanding the crops in Bry-
an county were pl3nted late and
theor growing condition retarded by
cold weather. compared with crops
last year, the crops in most parts
of Bryan county have responded
wonderfully to the warm weather OF
the past week and the growing con-
dition is rapidly approaching nor
NAL
Reports from over the county on
a whole show a little larger acreage
planted in cotton than was devoted
to the crop last year. The cotton is
thriving and good stands are report
ed from most sections. A great many
farmers are chopping cotton. There
are about $4,000 acres planted in
cotton this year There was too
much rain and cold weather in the
early spring for the best cotton con-
ditions.
Corn in Bryan county is doing
nicely. It was necessary to replant
corn because of the cold weather
The second planting has reached a
good stand and has grown rapidly
during the past week, The corn in
many places is above knee-high and
clean. Recent rains have not damag-
ed the corn. There are about 10000
acres planted in corn this year and
the growing condition is about 80
per cent.
Oats are looking good and are
heading well. In some places over
the county the oats are thin but in
the majority of instances good stands
are reported. The cold weather and
much rain retarded the oats, but not
much rust has been reported. With
a week more of warm weather the
oats will be ready for cutting. There
are about 10000 acres sawn to oats
and the growing condition is about
85 per cent.
The peanut crop looks good this
spring. Farmers had better seed this
year than usual and the crop has
reached an excellent stand. Last
year proved good year financially
for peanut growers. Nearly every
farmer in the county planted some
peanuts this year. Hogs can be kept
we'll on small patch of peanuts. The
hay makes valuable feed Bryan
county farmers, realizing the value
of peanuts, have planted in peanuts
more than double the acreage devot-
ed to the crop last year.
Pastures have not been in good
condition this spring, although the
past week wrought a big change.
Live stock has been doing well on
the short pastures, however
Taken as a whole, crop conditions
