Mr. Arthur Brisbane, the high-
est paid writer of the world, died
a few days back, following a short
illness. His writings were read by
more people, especially editors
than any high salaried writer of
this nation. It Is claimed that he
was a Socialist. Scientists claimed
that he was a Scientist. Religion-
ists claimed that he was religious.
Capitalists claimed that he was a
Capitalist. Politicians claimed that
he was a politician. He was a very
brainy man, and wrote on most
every subject that came before the
minds of the American people,
during the past 40 years. He show
ed up the rich and the poor, In
their various stages, and did not
sugar-coat his words regarding the
facts stated about the millionaires
and those who hoarded up wealth
which they never carry along with
them when they cross Jordan's
chilly waters of death. He will be
missed by many earnest readers,
and his name will go down In
history as one of the greatest
writers of the twentieth century,
If not the greatest. Just before he
died, he wrote on a timely topic of
the day, as follows:
"The more you contemplate the
Archbishop of York's statement,
the more you wonder what the
new king of England, George VI.
thinks of an archbishop who calls
the king's brother, Edward, a dis-
honorable man.
" 'Men of honor,' says the Arch-
bishop of York, 'cease to meet
other men's wives when they find
themselves falling In love.'
"The former king might tell the
Archblsliop of York that falling In
love Is something like falling off
the roof—once you start, It is
hard to stop."
Now, Just what this editor thinks
of the Archbishop of York, would
not look well In print. In fact we
think a great deal more of Ex-
King Edward the VIII, who In go-
in" to marry an American Girl,
even giving up the greatest throne
In the world to do so, than we do
of that religious flop and dlctatoi
to the church of England. Thli
WAJITBD atUl Hat<S Wtt What
Inst under the Adam's Apple, af-
fected the rush of blood to the
head and In this way tt did ketp
the nose tram bleeding; this Is our
reason why IT DID BRDfQ RE-
SULTS.

Just why 13 It some men win

Pastor Moore, of The Christian
Church, used as a sermon las
Sunday morning: "The end of an
other year"; using as hlj text
Jesus' last words on the Cross: "I
is Finished." A new sermon t

young pastor.

The Groom News says: "This
week John Blebergor was back In
Oroom visiting old friends and
1 joking at the changes that have
taken place during his 19 year,
absence. He noticed the old wel!
gone from the middle of main
street and the old livery barn had
disappeared. New business houses
operating about town. He was as-
tonished to see a sign "Try Ethyl
—20c." He caught his breath and
started on, only to read another
sign "Two gals. 35c." This was too
much for John so be headed back
for Minnesota where the pace Isn't
quite so fast."

AN ILLOGICIAN
Claude News: Will Hamblen of
Wayside, who rarely, If ever, visit-
ed a town, came to Claude with his
son. Climbing out on Main street,
he appeared fascinated by the
pavement. He scraped his feet on
the hard surface, and turning to
his son, remarked: "Well, I don't
blame 'em for building a town
here. The ground is too darn hard
to plough, anyhow."
Let's see: Mr. Hamblen Is old
enough to have a son of respon-
sible years. This Indicates that Mr.
Hambjen himself is no Juvenile.
Being a man of time-wrought ex-
perience, It Is hardly to be assum-
ed that he was born In Armstrong,
a relatively new county. Not being
bcrn in Armstrong County, lie
must have come there from some
other county. In making the trip
he could not, In reason, have
missed seeing other towns and
pavements en-route. We are going
to all this trouble to reduce these
deductions to presentable form. In
order to prove that Will Hamblen
had seen other towns than Claude,
other paving than Claude paving
Therefore the Claude News ex-
aggerated to the point of absurdity.
The editor of the Claude News
has In years past put up Ingenious
arguments favorable to printing
press money. He thought It should
be printed In convenient quantities
and oozed out among the people.
What if It was cheap money, he
asked, wasn't the country tired of
dear money? As a Greenbacker,
the Claude editor had some com-
pany, but as a c/mvlncer he fail-
ed to Impress the new dealers.
Same with his effort to represent
Mr. Hamblen as one unused to
towns and paving All of which
goes to show that when an editor
becomes economically and politi-
cally Illogical In a national w*v he '—• -- tllo ,iaVJ
Is likely to be that way locally.— as the greatest king since the y.
says the State Press In the Dallas of King Solomon. We tueof the
News.
bigot said: "Men of honor cease
to meet other men's wives when
they find themselves falling in
love with them" Taking his mere
statement, you can Infer that It Is
all right to meet other men's
wives, so long as ycu do not fall
In love with them; that Is as long
as you do not get shot In the
pants while doing so. That is why
this editor loves the American
PI,AO and what It stands for
you may be Just as religious and
believe a, you please regarding re-
ligion. so long as you do not In
teifere with other people In any
way. Religion Is a thing that ls
always and eternally between each
Individual and his God, and no
bigot or dictator should have a
right to Interfere with that free-
dom King Edward, who gave up
his throne FOR A WOMAN HE
LOVED, will go down in history
It is now admitted by Republi-
can leaders that their recent cam-
paign was badly managed, and
that the party has been paying
too much attention to business and
property, and too little about the
common man. For the wealth of
the country It Is better that the
two parties should balance each
other so that both would be com
pelled to put forward their best
men. Men of the Harding and Lan
don type whose chief recommends
tion is that they are willing to do
the bidding of the bosses, are no
longer In demand as standard
bearers.—Quanah Chief.

QUOTED THE SCRIPTURES:
This editor was talking with a
leading business man of Claude
last week, when the conversation
drifted around to Christmas and
what It means to us, and about
Christmas Day, the day on which
Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary,
Joseph's wife. This editor spoke of
Our Blessed Redeemer and his
brothers and sisters, when the
other man cald: "Jesus had no
brothers or sisters either, he was
the only child born to the Virgin
Mary." Well, we reminded him
of Matthew, 13 chapter and verses
54-55-56, which reads as follows:
"And when He was come Into
His own country, He taught them
In this synagogue, Inasmuch that
they were astonished, and said,
whence hath this man this wis-
dom, and these mighty works? Is
not this the Carpenter's son? Is
not his mother called Mary? And
His Brethren, James, and Joses,
and Simon, and Judas? And His
Sinters, are they not all with us?
Whence then hath this Man all
Ihese things?"
When a leading business man of
any town—and he was one among
the shrewdest In Claude—makes a
blunder like that, It Is time for
us to begin to study the Scriptures
and remind ourselves that while
we may be very wise about many
things, yet, many of us are ignor-
ant when It comes to trying to
explain Holy Writ. Very few of us
study the Bible as much as we
•hould, and many more than that
do not understand It as they
should. Ninety per cent of wha'
this editor knows about the Holy
Bible today was learned before he
was 17 years of age, as he, at that
time, studied the Bible daily for
several years.

8tate Press Just "got the wrong
pig by the ear," in his answer to
The Claude News, for his clipping
was from our "Punklnsnider" who
writes the "Dally Breezes" for The
Claude News. However, since he
referred to THE MONEY QUEST-
ION, our hobby, we delight in an-
swering him again. You will note
State Press says: "Printing Press
Money," Just as though we have
anything In the way of paper
money EXCEPT PRINTING PRESS
MONEY. Outside of a little sliver
and copper money, we have noth-
ing, In actual use, to-day, expect
PRINTING PRESS MONEY. Print-
ing press money Is what la doing
the business of this country to-day,
for all paper money Is printing
press money. Our argument then
and our argument now Is that we
need more money In actual cir-
culation. One authority says we
have nearly 11 billion dollars in
Gold laying up In the vaults doing
NO QUE ANYGOOD WHATEVER
He also stated that we have only
half that much money In actual
circulation. We do not argue for
printing press money, baloney
money, NOR CHEAP MONEY
What we have always asked for is
«P«Hh money placed in circulation
to bring fr"* prosperity, to start
our mines, factories, mills, etc tc
hnwwfan again. It takes money
placed la circulation to do this

other day at the age of 93. For
fifty years he had worn a red
flannel shirt, summer and winter,
ihe story goe3, as a protection a-
irainst rheumatism. Puthermore,
the remedy was prescribed many
years ago by an East Texas phy-
sician we arj told. Reminds us of
the practice of wearing a string
\round the neck on which was
u pended a piece of lead In our
boyhood days to prevent nose
bleeding. We are Just wondering If

his editor was a very small boy
'tis nose would bleed three or four
i lines dally. Aunt Sallie told him
i,r flatten out a lead bullet, bore a
hole In the flat lead, place a siring
through the hole and place It
arour.d his neck. We did this with
the result that the editor's nose
oled t ly two or three times In
six years. It may be old fogy, and
hive nothing to do about causing
the nose not to bleed. But what
we wanted was results and we
>urely got results, after placing

ncck. Hundreds of others have
done the some thing with the same
results, and RESULTS IS WHAT

John F. Taylor, for the past 15
years president of the Plateau

Singing Association, passed thru
Claude yesterday, enroute to Mem-
phis, Texas to visit that point and
oilier points, visiting those who
are interested In singing.
President Taylor carries that
perpetual smile, and "smole" that
Just won't come off. In fact he was
carrying that singing smile dur-
ing his and Mr. AtWood's visit
at The News Office Thursday of
this week.
By the way, we might add that
Mr. Atwood Is proprietor of the

Claude to attend the funeral. They
stated that the Governor of Okla-
homa thinks he could not run the
State Penitentiary without the help
of Alex Watson, who Is a son of
the late J. O. Watson of Claude.
Many others from Oklahoma and
various parts of the Panhandle at-
tended this funeral, In fact four
streets near the Watson home were
crowded with cars from various
sections of the state. We do not
remember seeing more pretty flow-
ers and wreaths at any funeral
than we saw at the funeral of
Governor J. O. Watson. Governor
Watson was a good neighbor, a
true friend and was liked by every-
one who knew htm. He was Just
what he was and did not try to
deceive anyone as to where he
stood on any public question. His
many friends Join the News In of-
