Our government has allowed
Mexican troops to pass through
American territory on their way
to Lower California to suppress
the socialistic republic recently
formed there. A similar viola-

law is not likely to take place in
case Mexican troops are needed
to suppress or restrain the steel
trust, which is understood to be
grabbing everything of commer-
cial value in Lower California.
But possibly international neu-
trality law was not designd for
the purpose of giving the world’s
common peoples a square deal

game.

A letter from the Pioneer Tel-
ephone company’s headquarters
says that the Yale telephone ex-
change is now rated as one of
the firstclass exchanges of the
state.
Many of our readers can re-
member when the first telephone
wire was strung into Yale. At
that time a farmer company con-
sisting of the Keeler and Spen-
cer brothers, F. A. Henderson
and others had a few miles of
line ‘which enabled them and
their neighbors to keep in touch
with the outer world. In a short
time thereafter the Yale Tele-
phone Co. was organized, and
promptly proceeded to install a
local exchange and to construct
rural lines. Many difficulties
were encountered, among others
a snow and sleet storm that ne-
cessitated an expense of upward
of $2,000 for repairs, and it goesJ
without saying that the system
was run at a loss the first few
years. It is now paying divi-
dends.
Yale Telephone company’s lo-
cal office is now equipped with
all the appliances essential to
the convenient and effective con-
duct ol its business. The com-
pany operates 14 rural lines, of
ff I owns 11 the other three
22 ! belonging to farmer companies.
II It has, in round numbers, 140
ff I miles of poles and 380 miles of
<•* wire cobwebbing the country
surrounding Yale. It operates
250 of its own instruments and
about 60 belonging to subsidiary
lines. It continues extending
and improving its system, which
has become one of the most im-
portant public utilities operating
in this locality.

Was a Good Boy,
Is a Good Man.
With the printing and mailing
of last week's paper, Clarence P.
Hale severed his connection with
The Gazette office, and Saturday
he went to Tulsa, where he has
employment with C. F. Neer-
man, formerly of Stillwater.
Clarence Hale has lived in
Stillwater since childhood. He
was a good boy and, like all good
boys, he developed into a good
man. He had worked in the
Gazette office five years, and was
as near invaluable to us as any
printer can be. He was an ex
cellent printer, and in but a
year’s experience had become an
expert on our Junior linotype.
There never was an indispensa-
ble man, but Clarence was about
as near it as they can make ’em.
We hate to lose him, but wish him
well wherever he may go,—Still-
water Gazette.
For if anything is doing
Yale wants to be up to date,
Her ambition liu been to be .
As prosperous as any in the state.
So when the people petitioned
The old council with * vim
To enter into a contract
A water system to put in,
Tha old council viewed it
With a furotf look.
But liecanse so many petitioned
The proposition they undertook.
They call for a bond election,
A contract with Swanwick make
1 lint if the bonds shall carry
His system they will take.
rl lien says Mr. Swanwick,
“If you take this system of mine
I 11 care for your bond issue,
On twenty-five years time.”
Time went on till a fortnight was
gone.
Till bond election began in the
morn—
The bonds wont through with a
hullabaloo
And left a few knockers forlorn.
The following day dawned,
Which was the date aet
By captains of the ship of state
For burgs to settle their political
storms.
1 he storm was furious in sound,
And when the town was swept of
votes,
I oliticiuus began to gang around
Together and take notes.
When the Boss of the election—
His announcement, could it be
true?—
The republicans had aw'iped the
whole darn thing,
Got all the candidates but two.
