THE HEARST REVOLT.
The Independenu i U-nKUe Is to
be continued ns n national organi
zation, itccordhiK to Its master man
iiRer. As Mr. Ilisirst Is the creator
of tills rival of the democratic party,
he must not feel hurt Ifdemocrats
decline to support the Hearst pa
pers In this effort for disruption.
There can lie no obji-cdou to Inde
pendent political netlon by any cit
izen, that Is a privilege that dem-
oraiiv Mould be the last tor estrlct
mid as Mr. 1 hurst has declared
that he Is not In suiKithy with the
democratic party, lie Is entirely free
to support this new party, or push
the socialistic propaganda, or In
company with Tom Watson and Pres
ident Hootuvelt urge n coalition of
such discordant elements as he can
bind together. Hut those who nro
democrats and believe that reform
ulll only ho brought about by that
party of the people, will hardly care
to support the Hearst paiers, which
are run to make money, nnd for the
advancement of the jKiIltlcal fortunes
of their proprietor.
Interior Department RullnQ.
Ardmoreite Special.
I'.iuhiiHkn, Okla., Jan. ii. Tho de
partment of the Interior has ruled
that uhi u nil Indian dies Intestate,
leaving but very little pecuniary
mean I hat his heirs are entitled to
the entile amount. Heretofore It
has lieeu the jsillcy to absorb n
goodly portion of the "louvinKs" In
commissions and other department
rd Inpe.
It has been said here that when
a rich Indian dlea the custom should
be to keep the news of his demise
ItHck at leatt one day to keep de
IMrtmeut officials from boating him to
tho doorkeeper of tho "Happy Hunt
ing drotind" nnd charging n commis
sion for filing his application for ad

Cause of So Much Loss.
'Hie great excess ot lossnge tho
pust twelve mouths, otor the previ
ous year. Is attributable mainly to
not having enough hoso wagons to
carry the hose to tho fire. To Illus
trate: Tho Hargrove College fire,
i although tho alarm was not slow ill
coming In, i't If we had had enough
hose on the ground the 1oh would
not have been near so great.
Tho John Whltemiin nsddcnco
flili, where three nice rosldences
binned, could linve saved last two
buildings burned, if wo had had
sufficient hoso,
The damage at tho Alexander Ho-

had had another wagon and team to
carry the proper amount of hose
to tho fire.
Recommendations.
In my iait report, you remember,
I asked you for a second hoso wa
gon. There has been no addition in
tho way ot apparatus during the
past five years. The city in the moan-
tlmo lias almost doubled Itself in
'jiopukitlon.
I would recommend, nnd I cannot
Impress uion jour body too forcibly,
the necessity of It, that you secure
another hoso wagon and hook and
ladder truck. We have n team of
horses should be condemned. One of
these Is eighteen years old and tho
other is conblderahly stove up, mak
ing both of them unfit for service,
I would roiommend that you get
another team In their Etead.
If I were fitted out with 'thfso
Items, I believe your flro depart
ment would bo able to cope with
the fire to tho satisfaction of all.

WHY BUY
LENOX SOAP
A dollar spent for Len
ox Soap will buy more
real soap than the same
amount of money spent
for any other brand.
It may not buy more
bars of soap, but it will
buy more soap.
And the soap will be
better.
It will be of good
quality, all the way
through.
It will be fall weight.
It will do as uod work
as any laundry soap, no
matter what its price. It
will do far better work
than any of the cheap
soaps.
These are reason s
good reasons why you
should buy Lenox Soap.
For sale by all grocers.
