The tariff mostrosity has been
passed by the republican congress.
Farmers of western Oklahoma will
be surprised to know that this tar
iff bunch placed tax on oats. OF
course there never was bushel of
oats imported into the the United
states and never will be. and it is
presumed there is no one SO low in
the order of intelligence as to fall
Tor that kind of republican nonsense.
$H*%
People should not criticise John
Fields personally. He is honest in the
belief that Mark Hanna was the
greatest statesman the world ever
produced. John and Mark were the
great reactionaries in their time and
Johns time is still with us. He nat
urally wants the dial of time turned
backward so the common people can
be bearded in droves and handled
IN the old Hanna way. OF course that
time will never come and the people
OF this state will never support those
politics, but it is unnecessary to speak
unkindly of Mr.. Fields, one of the
few devotees of that old order,
sa%t
Speaking of the republican plat
form of reformation in Oklahoma, Il
is we'll occasionally to call attention
to the fact that wherever the re-
publicans have been in control of
county affairs, such municipalities
have been burdened by excessive tax
alton and lax government. 1t does
not necessarily follow that the repub-
licans are unable to locate compe-
tent men to govern a county, but it
is true that the old republican idea
of government was for those in au-
thority to do well and those on the
outside TO do as well as they could
OTTER those in the inside had had
theirs. The election of Mr.. Harding
as president and subsequent events
following his induction into office
shows very clearly that the republi-
can idea and general plan has not
been changed in recent years.

The republican candidate for Gov
ernor started his tour with only IT.
! wing Page, republican candidate for
Treasurer, accompanying him. When
he hit republican territory the whole
| string Of state nominees were traip-
sing along with him. This is very
conclusive evidence that Mr.. Field;
idea Of coalition" government in this
state is intended for democratic terri
tory only.
The republican candidate for Gov.
crnOr has dropped one of his plat
form planks. When he first started
out he was advocating foreclosing al
farm mortgages where the interest i,
delinquent. Even so dense a reac
tionary as Mr.. Fields was very soor
able to ascertain that this is not ;
good season to advocate genera
foreclosure proceedings against thos'
who are little behind with the in
terest on their mortgages.

should Immediately be plowed around

bugs are causing considerable damage
in the fields now. The chinch bug Is
much more easily controlled than the
green bug, Mr.. Schultz says, but the
work should be done promptly and not
let the bugs have a chance to spread
over the fields. Spraying is good
thing to kill the bugs when they are
found en- masse, but the suggested
blowing Of the strip around the field
is one Of the surest ways Of getting
rid Of them.
