when "A campaign was approaching, their leaders
thought 1t best to HANG together. So, thus.

Now, there are only two bases upon when
should rest our Judgment for picking a national
committeeman. ,,, =,

a WELCOME INDICATION.

Representative Admire Of Creek county,
In an interview In The World tho other day.
gave notice that those who were preparing n
raid ON th" state treasury for building projects
and administrative costs for unncccssary state
insiiiutions were laying up for themselves somo
severe dlstppointmontH.
Now comes Ncprcscntutlve-clcct Campbell OF
Garfield county with an editorial IN his paper
wherein hr also nlgna himself aglins, an APP
proprntlon orgy of any kind Both of those
men are newly-eicctcd republican members OF
botn are candidates for the spcakership
It n gratifying indeed to see the new rcpub-
lican members boldly and couragcously taking
their stand In the Interest OF governmental
economy and rctrcnchment Senator Davidson
OF Tulsa county. while acting governor IA few
days sihce. gave out an interview In which he
declared himself In favor of great iibcrality In
appropriations and said the coming scssion
would need 10 appropriate at least $40 600. 900.
We would like to bet the Tulsa senator that
1t don't. or II 1t does. would like tn wager
him something that every man responsible has
served his last term IN that body
TO talk libcraiity In appropriations at this
time IL to cvinCe u disregard of the public In
tcrosI and the n"ccasitics of the period that
amounts to crimlnaiity. Economy and rctrcnch-
meut are the imperative orders Of the day. Con-
ditions In the agricultural sections OF the s.ate
are amentabio. For the government OF the
people. which was created and is maintained
by the people. to indulge In an crgy OF cg!sa-
tive appropriations at this time would be for
the government to impose a hardship and set
example absolutely ntolerable.
by the time the legislature convcncs pre-
diet there will be public opinion that even
the machine satellites viii not dare oppose. The
statchouse architects contractors and jus, plain
grafters must look fhward TO long. hard

To see the pansies In a row,

And wish that such one were mine
But one can't have stock Of flowers
Unless he digs and digs for hours
My ground is always bleak and bare
The roses do not flourish there,
And where | once sowed poppy seeds
Is now tangled mass o. weeds.
I'm fond Of flowers, but | admit,
For digging | don't care a bit.
| envy men whose yards are gay,
But never work as hard as they;
also envy men who own
More wealth than ! have ever known.
I'm like lot of men who yearn
For joys that they refuse to earn.
You cannot have the Joys of work
And take the comfort of shlrk,
| find the man envy most
Is he, who's longest at his post.

A peculiar taste In his mouth he

But the smell that rose from some

And 1t had been spilled on his
clothes. Following this loathesome
