Deals With Amendments
Washington. 1). ('.. January Nth.
I aft s special message, dealing with
amendments to the interstate com-
merce laws. looking to more effec-
tive federal supervision of railroads
and conveying his recommendation
for pushing of a federal corporation
act, was transacted to congress to-
day and read fn the house, the
senate not being in session. The
message followed closely the fore-
cast that had been made and in
suggested legislation as to railroads
embodies all of the suggestions the
president has made from time to
time in bis speeches on the subject.
When in need of stationery, con-
sult us before placing your job.
Washington, I). C., Jan. 10.—
The opposition to Cannonism in
the House has become so strong
that every means is being used to
compel the insurgents to be good.
It lias recently developed that Post-
master General Hitchcock is going
so far as to hold up the appoint-
I ment of postmasters who are rec-
ommended by Insurgents. Of
course, Mr. Hitchcock says lie is
acting under the advice of the
President and Mr. Taft will declare
fTiat it is a matter purely within the
discretion of the Postmaster Gen-
eral.
At any rate it is done, in the in-
terest of Speaker Cannon and his
standpat administration, This is
only the begiiuiin of the dras<i
measures which the administration
will adopt in order to surpn ss the
Progressives. It is generally ad-
mitted, however, that this action
will only react to strengthen the in-
surgents in their'districts.
It is the consensus of opinion
here that an effort will be made
this session to enact a law granting
the Federal government the exclus-
ive right to chatter common car-
riers—another effort to usurp the
power which naturally belongs to
th" stat' .
Congressman Carter, of Ardmore,
who has been ailing for several
weeks, is on his feet again and
busy looking after his constituents.
pinchot ousted by taft
In order to preserve and protect!
the interests of certain corporations!
and trusts, Mr. Hallinger was ap-
pointed Secretary of the Interior by
the President. Mr. Bellinger's ac-
tions in Alaska, and elsewhere as
fur thai matter, toward certain in-
terests are a little shady, it seems.
Mr. Pinchot, who wa- appointed by
Mr. Roosevelt to look after the nat-
ural resources of the country, and
who is reputed to he a genius in
ihat line, desired the natural re-
sources of California preserved.
Mr. Hallinger wanted them to go
certain trusts, so there were some
exchange of charges.
So strong were the charges that
an investigation was ordered bv
Congress. Friday Mr. Dolliver, a
strong insurgent, read in the Senate
a letter from Mr. Pyichot vindicat-
ing himself. The result was that
Mr. Pinchot was virtually kicked
out.

LEXINGTON SCHOOLS PROGRESSING NICELV
Owing to the crowded condition of the Lexington schools, the School Board met Saturday,
.and employed Miss Crilda Peck, as an additional teacher. She began Monday morning.
The Lexington schools are rapidly increasing in students, under the excellent supervision of
rof. \\. S. Rice and his assistants. The enrollment at the present time is the greatest in the
history of jthe city, and the students are making rapid progress.
Miss Hanna Asher, of Chicago,
lib. vl ile iii re \ isit ill her 111, It 1 .
J. I). Fairchild, gave a piano recital
at the Methodist churc i ?uuth. in
Purcell, Tuesday night. Jan. lltli.
to a well filled house of music liv-
ing peopie of Lexington, Norman
and Purcell.
A most delightful program was
rendered, every number of which
elicited a storm of applause, to
which she gracefully responded with
an encftre.
Miss Asher had a very apprecia-
tive audience, who complimented
her greatly and look forward for her
return in the near future with much
pleasure.
The Leader joins a host of friends
in wishing her much success in her
musical career.

Hill's Business College
Jesse Davis was doing stenog-
rapher work for the Farmers State
Bank in Oklahoma City last week.
II. G. McN'ees accepted a posi-
tion with a real estate firm at Man-
gum, Okla.
Miss Taylor was doing stenogra-
pher work for Jones & Co., in the
Lee Building, Oklahoma City.
The Chamber of Commerce had
j two of our students last week doing
extra work.
Lenna Me\ ey bas a fine position
with the Henryetta Fuel Co., Hen-
ryetta. Okla.
Miss Haskin accepted a position
as stenographer with Snyder, Owen
& Lybrand, Oklahoma City.
Mr. Ware, deputy treasurer of
Payne county, Stillwater, Okla.,
j paid us a pleasant visit last week.
Mary Johnston accepted a posi-
tion as stenographer with Ross Lil-
ian!. <)klahonia City.
I'wo of our young ladies were
working in the circulation depart-
I ment of the Daily Oklahoman dur-
ing the holidays.
Miss I avlor is doing work for the
Butler Auto Co., Oklahoma City.
We turned down more positions
than we fill, d be, .,n-,
one ready. We were asked to fill
positions for three hanks in Okla-
homa City, the largest real estate
firm in Oklahoma C'itv. a large
whole-ale house in Clinton, Okla.,
one of the city officials, a large
stove manufacturing 'company and
a number of other positions in of-
fices.
We would like to urge ' students
to take a combined course, for this
i- what most of the business men
want. We have at least three time-
as many calls for the combined
students as we can possibly fill,
and they pay the best salaries too.
Boys seem to have an aversion to
taking shorthand. It is one of the
best stepping stones in business
that a young man can possibly
have, for nine times out of ten, po-
sitions for bookkeepers want a man
who can write shorthand and do
typewriting. It takes only a few
short months longer to take both
courses and at a very small expense,
^ but it is worth more than twice as
much to a student when he applies
for a position.
If interested write at once for a
I catalogue.
