The Editor writing from Wicb-
ita Falls, says; “It is here like it
is every where else- ’Tis the
hardest matter possible for per-
sons out of employment to find a
job. True there is a good deal
of improvement going on, which
gives employment to a limited
number of men, hut on that ac-
count they have flocked here till
the demand is more than tilled
and you find them ull around
vainly hunting a job.”

meeting sometime in July. The
chairman should ascertain by mail at
what time Mr. Davis can come to our
county and make arrangmenls accord-
ingly. Mr. Davis desires the last day
to be a joint meeting with the demo-
crats, if they cau get out their repre

campaign wili depend upon the activ-

ability of the chairman.

Throuoh the venality and in-
capacity of our National law
makers, Washington’s and Jef-
ferson’s republic has become a by-
word and a stench to all people.
Patriotism is dead and the great
common people; the back-bone
and strength of oil governments,
look upon it with a feeling of
utter contempt. There is not a
semi savage government on earth
that would not command more
respect than the United States
under the domination of Cleve-
landism, if it were got for the
people at the forks of the creek.

There are fifty thousand little
girls going to premnture graves
by the route of ignorance, pover-

land.
But the Baptist ministers, ev-
ery one of them, called by God
to preach peace on earth and
good will to man, forgot to say a
word for these little withering
human flowers.
There are thousands ot women
surrendering their lives to greed,
stitch by stiteh, fifteen hours a
day; no hope, no rest outside of
the grave! no comforts at home;
rags and a crust! The only lit-
tle star of light for them is the
