Those wars down In South America
among the restless Latin republics
don't excite near the interest that a
push-cart drivers strike would in Am-
erica.

It is said that the lunacy board
shook hands with Thaw after putting
him through a hard test. Question,
has the board gone crazy too, or Is
Thaw becoming sano?
THE "SEA OF OIL" A FAKE.
THE NEED OF HIGH SCHOOLS.
The action of the county commis-
sioners at the request of SliawneelteB
and others In calling an election on
August Gth for the purpose of voting
ou the proposition for a county high
school is to be commended as one ol
the most important steps ever con-
ceived In the Interest of Pottawatomie
county farmers. in this age and day
it Is a poor community, Indeed, that
cannot afford its sons and daughters
the advantages of a partial higher
education at least.
Bvery line of business, every pro-
fession, and every trade has oppor-
tunities for the educated man or wo-
man that are denied the uneducated
Education is the priceless gift of civ-
ilization. Without, as the uneducated
can best testify, one Is continually
at sea In matters requiring the con-
centration and systematic inlud that
one only requires after a thorough
drilling at school. Some few can
discipline themselves and study zeal-
ously by their own efforts, but they
are very few. In this age of special-
izing and great detail work, the most
tltted man is the one who has met
competition successfully with other
fellows while In school under the
scientific training and discipline of
skilled teachers.
The mind of everyone in its charac-
ter making stage requires the exper-
ienced attention of a master, who can
guide and lead it in the right course
Otherwise It is apt to ramble and run
crosswise like a ship without a rud
der to guide it. Wild flowers are
beautiful, but none are as beautiful
as the cultured product; the same
with cultured mlndB. Kvery voter
In the county owes it to his generation
and his posterity to vote for the coun-
ty high school. The extremely low
tax levy of less than one-sixth or a
cent amounts to so little that surely
uo one will object on that score. Kv-
ery school increases the value of our
citizenship inestimably.
Another complaint from a source
counted on by the con-con for endorse-
ment. Haskell has not explained as
yet to the Farmers' Union why he
left the recall out of the referendum
clause.
The court hearing the case against
Standard Oil In Chicago where the
counts in the indictments run Into
thousands should be put on a pension
and given the balance of his life lo
do Justice.
Tulsa's Big Oil Investors Say Situa-
tion Doesn't Look Good to Them.
Tulsa, I. T., April 5—The Muskogee
bubble has bursted. The stur Is off.
The effort of the Muskogee press to
work up a big sensation and move
mid-continent oil headquarter to Dark-
town over night has met with dis-
mal failure. There's nothing doing.
It was a good dream, but the awaken-
ing Is sad to relate.
When the first gigantic pipe was
sent to the Associated Press oil men
from all parts of the country took
the first train for Muskogee. The
consequence was that for the last ten
days the hotels at Muskogee have
been doing a rushing business. In-
vestors were there, and during the
first excitement of the boom, while
the blood was at fever heat, the buy-
ing of leases was heavy. Yesterday
the reaction took place and one by
one the monled men are quietly and
shamefacedly taking the trains for
other places.
The constitutional convention failed
to Include a clause providing for whip-
ping posts for sneak thieves and wife
beaters. How did they ever miss
tills popular form of legislation In
those 45,000 words?
Greer county evidently don't appre-
ciate the famous "Alfalfa Bill" and
his friend Haskell. Wlh such demo-
cratic communities going back on the
frainers of the con-con, where can It
find a friend In this wide state?

GREEN BUG IN BLUE GRASS.
The commissary department on
the Isthmus of which Congressman
Ralney of Illinois has a kick coming,
ought to have served a thirty cent
meal to him In a Panama. Perhaps
then he would not object to the poor
meat delivered there.
Doing Business Again.
"When my friends thought I was
about to take leave of this world on
account of Indigestion, nervousness
and general debility," writes A. A.
Chlsholm, Tread well, N. Y., "and when
It looked as If th-jre was no hope left,
I was persuaded to try Electric Bitters,
and I rejoice to say that they are cur-
ing me. I am now doing business
again as of old, and am still gaining
dally." Best tonic medicine on earth.

Yards in Guthrie are Badly Damaged
By P*8t.
Guthre, Okla., April 5.—The blue
grass is the latest victim of the green
bug. Several yards -on East Wash-
ington avenue have been badly dam-
aged by the pest, and It Is feared may
spread to other locations.
The beautiful blue grass lawn of
Mr. Jim Young, 204 East Washington,
is suffering severely. The grass Is
turning brown in spots and Investiga-
tion shows that the bug Is working
on the roots as well as the blades of
the grass. While the lawn is still
green, It will be but a few days until
the damage begins to show.

POTT COUNTY CROPS.
With the rains coming on as they
huve recently, Pottawatomie county
farmers were never in better condi-

last two months, and every other sign
points to the favorable location of
Pottawatomie county, which is the
fairest In "TIiIb Land of the Fair God.";

CAN'T FATHOM WOMEN.
Professor Ross of the sociology de-
partment of the Wisconsin University
declares sarcastically that women who
squeeze their bodies out of shape to
be in style deserve great honor. Cer-
tainly, and so do many college profess-
ors who squeeze their heads out of
shape trying to fathom women and
her vanities.
