town merchant must resist the m-i that wi]1 Le] tLeir lmsinpHH Lets J'the superintendent. Such a man,
_/ il. • r:_ —i"- 1 tbe university certainly needs. If
that expression is carried out, in
name, the enrollment of the state
university wil increase at least one-
third during the next year. The
position of president of a state uni-
versity calls for more than a good,
plain man, it calls for a man of
force, a man of personality, a man
with some broadness of ideas a man
with a degree of magnetism—a.man !
"big" in eyes of his kind.
There are just such men in the ,
country but it will take a> goodly ,
amount of money to interest them.
But why not pay big and get some-
thing big? Why not put the state j
unlversfty on a par with the general
standing of the state? Why not have ,
a man that wjll be able to cope with
the difficult problems of the stat" ;
university and one who can elimi- i
nate a few of those "investiga-
tions"? A man tha'. the board will j
repose some confident's in? \Yi'.y|
not put in a educational head anil i
not a political head? Give Oklahoma I
a president that will rank vltli the j
heads of the larger Institutions anl |
see where she will stand in course j
of a few years.
A statement such as that made
by the superintendent is meant with I
the best of faith to the people; but i
the saying should be fulfilled to a !
degree that he who made the state-
ment would thereby add hundreds

•vasion of the " big eoncems, who
put out as cheap a class of goods
as the purchaser will stand. A
town cannot prosper where the
mail order houses have many sup-
porters. The merchants trade is
seriously affected. Money that
should remain at home to help
out the men who are building and
supporting their little home town,
is sent away to help make richer !

is profiting bv their fool hardiness.
Is such a condition right ? j

Is nissouri Hell?
For punishment fit the crime we
will turn Walter Ferguson over to
i the tender mercies of Oklahoma's
chief defender of .Missouri, who will
probably be able to take this state-
, ment: "Hell will have no terrors
; for that citizen who proudly boasts
| that he has lived in Missouri for
85 years. "Ardmore Statesman. Wal-
ter • generally has the correct dope
connected with his timely sarcasm
and we recall that in many instan-
ces he comes very near driving
his point home. He is as bard to
handle in repartee as Ex-Gov. Has-
kell is when he is making one of
those convincing, political talks.
Col. Hinds of Hugo Husonian is
roiliekin" in the most-always-enjoy-
able realm of limelight since he has
made a few tainted suggestions of
the good roads plan. Some pointed
criticism of the Colonels words has
appeared in the state press during
the last few days. Because of the
Colonels intimate connection with
political affairs around the old,dark
I and mysterious territorial days at
Guthrie, we fear that he has the
ability to stand the fire of his strong
bluff and cure up any bad business
: that may exist in the proposed good
roads plan.

The Oklahoman and Times appear
to enjoy their daily debates over
current matters of the day. Both
sheets have the ablest of editorial
writers and it is an education to
read the instructive arguments that
they offer in support or their con-
tentions. They are always aligned
against each other and consequent-
ly furnish much desirable informa-
tion that the public should know. It
1 is in such an argument that one of
i the greatest values of a newspaper
! exists and right or wrong the two
metropolitan dailies are doing much
to further the reputation of the
press of the new state.
