On the front page will be found a
full report of the deep well situation
as it now stands. This ought to bring
joy to tlje hearts of our readers as the
water proposition will now be solved
and we will no longer need feel dis-
couraged on account of lack of raip.
Hooker owes Ex-Senator Morris an
everlasting debt of gratitude for it
was almost entirely due to his cease-
less efforts at Oklahoma City that one
of these wells will be put down near
our city.
During the campaign last fall near-
ly everv candidate running for a state
office in the state of Kansas pledged
himself to vote for the initiate, refer -
endum and recall if elected. Gover-
nor Stubbs recommended these
measures in his message to the legis-
lature, but when it reached the state
senate it was promptly turned down.
Thus do our modern politicians keep
their promises to the people.

We noticed in the last issue of the
Guymon Democrat that the pastor of
the Methodist church there has some-
thing favorable to say about the Boy
Scouts. We don't see how he can
stand up in the pulpit every Sunday
and preach the gospel of one whose
mission here was, "Peace on earth,
good will towards men" and then
countenanc? the Boy Scout idea,
whose only aim and desire is to train
our boys from boyhood up to murder
their brothers whom they never saw
before and who never did them any
harm. The Boys Scouts is only a
youthful organization for the purpose
of becoming soldiers in the future
Uncle Sam. as well as other nations,
is finding it hard to get grown men in-
to the army any more and has to ri-
sort to these despisable methods of
hiring men to train innocent children
the rudiments of war while they are
young and susceptible to any kind of
training in order to get men enough in
case he needed them. The well mean-
ing but misguided church people who
think they are training their boys to
be "patriotic" will find that thev are
making nothing of them but future
Darasites on the body politic. It
grieves us to see even a few preachers
of the different denominations give
this their sanction and help, no doubt,
laboring under the delusion that they
are helping them become more loyal
citizens and true patriots, v hereas,
if they oniv knew it, the.> are leading
them over very thin ice, which is li-
able to break at any time and our
sturdy young men upon whom the fu-
ture ot our country depends, will find
themselves engulfed in a malestrom of
murder and anarchy. The cry of the
world is for peace and disarmament.
Preach that a while and see if it wont
come a little easier and do more good
than trying to incite the spirit of raur^
der, for murder it is, in the hearts of
Young America.
The newspapers in every commun-
ity are ever ready and willing to help
eyery commendable enterprise and ad-
vance the best interests of their respec
tive towns and cities. Therefore, the
newspapers ought to receive the sup-
port of tbe community, especially
when subscribers and advertisers get
value received. —New Phildelphia
(O.) Tribune.
There is more joy in a printing of-
fice over one sinner that pays in ad-
vance and abuses the editor on eyery
possible occasion than there is over
ninety and nine who borrow the paper
and sing its praises without contribu-
ting a cent to keep it out of the poor-
house'—Ex.

HOOKER,
*
Boise City is to have a bank to be
known as the Pioneer State Bank of
Boise City. This has long been a
necessity to that town and country
and we believe the citizens there will
help it alony.
We have already discovered the
fact that in running a newspaper we
can please all of our readers some of
the time and some of our readers all
of the time but can not, nor will not
try to please all of them all of the
time If the tone of our editorial page
does not suit you read our news col-
] iimns. We try to write our editoria s
1 from a strictly unbiased point of view,
presenting our opinions as wesee theoj
and conscientiously feel about mat-
ters pertaining to the good of the
whole country in general and this part
of it in particular. We do not claim
to be infallible, but we shall endeavor
to write what we think and think some-
what about what we write. We do
not wish our readers to take this arti-
cle as antagonistic to the sentiment of
the public but for your good, deeming
it tbe function of a country newspaper
to keep informed and keep its readers
informed as to the happenings and
real conditions of their country as we
see and find them.
Clippings
A tax on incomes would place the
burdens of government on those ho
are best able to bear them.
San Francisco has won the 1915
Panama world's fair, but the New
Orleans people needn't go to it unless
they want to.
Philadeldhia girl sang "All That I
Want is Love" while undergoing an
operation for apendicitis. Evidently
thought she was losing her heart in-
stead of her appendix.
Andrew Carnegie, having given
<10,000,000 to the peace fund, favors
the proposition to fortify the Panama
Canal. Andy's steel is used in mak-
ing guns. See?
Another victory for peace! Tbe
government has adopted a new gun
that can pierce heavy armor nearly
five miles away. Civilization goes on
apace. •
Vivien Gould, aired 18, marries
Lord Decies, aged 44. One gets a
worn-out old sport and an empty
English title. The other gets a young
American girl and a barrel of Amer-
ican money. The divorce court renorts
will tell the remainder of the story.
It is a cold day now when Champ
Clark fails to get a first page position-
Bis latest act is that of scaring hell-
anblazes out of the "bloody Henglish'-
through a suggestion ihat we annex
Canada. Tender spot, "don't ya
know!"
Popular election of United States
senators is inevitable. If necessary
thirty-two states will join in a demand
for a constitutional convention. With
a majority of the people favoring gen-
uine popular government this should
be no difficult matter

Russia, it seems, is trying to pick m
quarrel with China. It appears that
tbe Great Bear is trying to invade tbe
Celestial Empire. Kussia should re-
member the lesson she received from
Japan in llMM and not awaken tbe
sleeping giant, as tbe Chinese soldier
like his Japanese broibef. thinks there
is no greater honor for him than to
lay down his life for bis country,
which is far more than can be aaid of
the Russian soldier.
