face.
With q start the sleeper sprang to
her feet and tumbled out on the floor.
The room was filled with smoke that
poured into the hall. and the blazing
curtains had caught the flames so
fiercely that several pictures were
afire. moment later and the fire
would have gotten over the whole fiat
and both Fluffy and Aunt Pauline
would have been burned.
But seeing n moments lift In the
smoke, Aunt Pauline dashed to the
bathroom and, getting a pail of water
managed, by making several trips, to
put out the flames.
Then, tired and exhausted with the
excitement, she sat down In tears IN
the front room with little Fluffy curled
in her lap.
Presently the door opened and In
came Ada. The smoky room, the wet
floor, Il weeping woman with the dog
in her lap. astonished the child.
"Why, what on earth has hap
pened" exclaimed Ada. "And why is
Fluffy scorched and lying in your
ap?"
Aunt Pauline burst into a new flood
Of tears and Rugged Fluffy closer.
"What has happened" she eX-
claimed. "Why, everything. When
was asleep the curtains caught fire
from the stove and set the room afire
I would have burned to death had
not Fluffy jumped on the bed and
awakened me-"
"oh, | am so proud of darling Fluff
f." exclaimed Ada. "Wasn't that
smart and good of her to do that?'
"She Is the best doggle In the
world" cried Aunt Pauline as she went
to the cupboard and got out Dit or
chicken and some milk. I'VE VIII
never speak again of her going away
Fluffy must stay right here and she
shall have milk and chicken for din
ner every day. Then that pretty rug
in my room will be her bed every
night"
A very happy party there was that
night after the gas was lighted and
the dinner had been cleared away.
Fluffy sat on the sofa while Ada and
Aunt Pauline made pretty bows for
her neck and praised her up as the
best little dog in the world.

Editorial
of the Day
BAILEY is BEATEN.
DAILY Oklahoman)

The cartoon reproduced in The
Daily Okahoman Sunday from The
Dallas News, showing Jim Reed and
Hoke Smith bandaged and on crutches
outside OF the democratic corral,
watching Joseph Weldon Bailey with
bride inside, planning to throw
the democratic mule, told at a glance
the situation in Texas.
Better Look Out Joe. We Tried
IT, Hoke and Jim advised him in
the picture. But experience of others
never teaches. Bailey had to try it
with the result that he will not even
be able 10 get on crutches for
weeks. The regulars will have more
than 1000 of the l,400 votes in the
Texas state convention May 2j.
Bailey doomed his way up and
down Texas with never decent word
for President Wilson nor the pro
gram nor policies OF the democratic
party during the last seven years. He
fancied Texas would follow his dem.
agogic oratory, his specious states s
rights program, his demand for wines
and beer and his berating of woman
suffrage to a Bailey success.
II Bailey had confined himself tn
states rights, mild Interpretation OF
the Volstead act and eliminated his
outrageous effrontery to the demo
cratic party, he might have made a
respectable showing
But Texas is still democratic. Tex
as helped elect Woodrow Wilson and
it is proud of it. Texas is going to
send an administration delegation to
San Francisco and when the COVER
norship is settled later, the splendid
speaker but the party traitor, Joseph
w. Bailey, will be buried so deep
that his political future will be a
blank page. Bailey's ungovernable,
senseless hatred for President vii.
son has made of him a cold politi,
cal corpse.

with the reputation of Reed. the re.
lection Of Hoke Smith, the slaughter.
ing of Bailey, democrats may take
much comfort in the knowledge that
the nation has not forgotten the
slackers who occupied high places
during the war.

THE CHARACTER UF An

There ~ no truth more thorough

Of nature. an indissolublc union
between virtue and happiness, be-
tween duty and advantage, be-
tween the genuine maxims of an
honest and magnanimous policy
and the solid rewards Of public

The consideration that human
happiness and moral duty are In

I hope shall always possess

The PRESS As A FREE BOOSTER

This appreciation of the unpaid
public work done by the news
papers of America is from the
Corn Exchange, publication is
sued by the Corn Exchange Bank
Of Philadelphia.
Were Philadelphia to pay at com
mercial rates for all the advertising
which the newspapers now contribute
gratis, the annual outlay for that
item would excel the whole cost Of
the police department.
There is never copy Of any Of
our papers printed any day of the
year which does not contain from one
to twenty items either so-caled news
or editorial, that is gratuity hand

trolley road and telephone is not
reckoned upon to give its time, serv-
ice or capital for boosting any enter
prise excepting its own.
But a newspaper has dozens Of
requests every day to print or to
urge, to commend or damn, to beg
OF promote, something out Of which
the owner Of the paper can derive
nc financial benefit. He is expected
to employ his capital in that way
for The common welfare.
A newspaper has but two possible
sources Of income. One from the
sale Of paper and the ether from the
sale of advertising.
Whatever in a paper does not at.

able thing for the owner financially.
Whatever in Il paper takes up
space where an advertisement might
be printed is Il direct and immedi-
ate less. Very little Of what is call.

Yet the Philadelphia papers give

propositions. And let Phiadelphians

Does any job printer refuse TO print
