the lower house of the Chickasaw
legislature at Tishomingo has passed

to discontinue the present school sys-

members, and the governor, met in
the latter's office and decided to write
to all states where the legislature
meets this winter, urging them to
adopt resolutions favoring the elec-

Gore Would Refund Payments
WASHINGTON: Senator Owen has
introduced a free homes bill for the
homesteaders on the Lawton wooj
reserve. This land was sold to the
homesteaders. They have all made
at least one payment. The bill pro-
vides that the government shall only
keep the first payment and release
the homesteaders from any further
payments. Where homesteaders have
paid more than one payment the gov-
ernment is to reimburse them.
A Crime to Falsify Statistics
WASHINGTON: Rapid progress
was made in the house of representa-
tives in the bill to codify and revise
the penal laws of the United States.
The only amendment of any import-
ance which got through was one by
Mr. Ollie James of Kentucky, making
it a criminal offense, under heavy
penalty, to falsify government crop
statistics, the object of the amend-
ment being to protect the cotton and
tobacco growers from speculators.
Fifty pages of the bill were disposed
of.

GUTHRIE: As a result of a re-

now develops that no warrants ran

state educatioal institutions until a
specific appropriation is made by the
legislature. All of these institutions
are quite well provided with funds,
but under the attorney general's rul-
ing are not able to get any benefit
from them.
State Superintendent Cameron and
the presidents of the various state
schools are now urging the legisla-
ture to take the matter up as real

ulty and employes of these schools
have received no pay since Novem-

Comment and Suggestive Thought.
What Is the Kingdom of Heaven?—
It is that condition or state whero
God reigns as king, where he is tho
supreme object of love and service,
where his will is the law, and men
obey it as naturally as they breathe,
and where all his subjects are formed
in his holy image and inspired with
his spiritual iif«v it is that for wM
we pray in the first petitions of tho
Lord's Prayer. He belongs to God's
kingdom
Who recognizes God as his Father;
Who hallows his name;
Whose supreme desire and aim is thai
his kingdom shall come;
Who does God's will on earth as it is
done in heaven.
And when all men have this si
preme choice of God, then this worlo
will have been transformed into tin
kingdom of heaven.
Paul expresses the essential meai>
ing when he places tho "fruits of tin
Spirit," whose source and inspiration
are the Holy Spirit, in contrast witU
the "works of the flesh."
This kingdom naturally required
some form or organization to best ac-
complish its work. Hut the two ideas,
however closely ullicd, are distinct, at*
are body and soul. One may have tho
form without the spirit; and one may
have the spirit without the organize
tion.

Measure Providing for Making Cities

GUTHRIE: The Brooks hill pro-
viding for the Incorporation of cities
of the first class on the Indian Ter-
ritory side was recommended for
passage bv the senate committee of
the whole Thursday. No measure lias
been harder fought by the republi-
cans because they charge that it is
class legislation and unconstitutional.
The bill provides that 25 qaullfied
voters may petition the governor to
call an election for the purpose of de-
termining whether a city of 2,000 in-
habitants shall become of the first
class. Salaries of city officials shall
be paid from fees and those of the
police judge, police chief and fclty

the motives, realize the presence ot

What Is It to lie Born Anew, from
Above?—We have a natural physical
life. We live in a world of sense. Oui
supreme choice may be to enjoy this
life, to make its pleasures and desires
supreme, to possess the tilings that
minister to it, at any cost, at tho ex
pense of other people, at the expense
of conscience and duty and love. This
is the life ol' the flesh, of this world.
A thousand good, lovely, and charminw
tilings may come into this life. But.
the test of the life Is "what is oui;
supreme choice."
This life is imparted by the spirit
of God, enabling one to choose God,
and gain the victory over tho lower
nature. It is by this power, through
this inspiration, under this influence!
that we are enabled to bear the frulti?
of the spirit which are the virtues ot
tho kingdom of heaven.
V. 5. "Except a man be born ol
water and of (the) Spirit."—(There lft-
no article in the Greek befort*
"Spirit. ") To understand this, uot s
several things in the circumstances:
(1) John was baptizing with water an
a symbol of repentance. (2) Baptism
symbolized the cleansing of the soul
from sin. (.'!) Baptism symbolized thil
outward profession, the entering into
the visible kingdom. (4) NicodemuK
was familiar witli the rite with thi
signification.
Water may denote either or both of
two allied meanings. (1) The Loril
here declares that there are two ele>
meuts or factors in the new birth;
putting away the old life and receiving
the new. Water was the natural ami
familiar symbol of cleansing from siix
of putting away the sinfnl past, ol
confession of sin. This act the Pbari
sees were not inclined to believe a*>
applied to themselves. They refused
to be baptized by John, and thus coi*
fess their need of forgiveness.

Governor Haskell. "Whe.i we have

a national bank to the comptroller.''
In the work of the Union, as every-
where else, there are discouragements.
Somtlmes it seems that people get the
"contralrles" and seem to take a
fiendish delight in udoing work that
has taken months to accomplish. The
consoling thought In this so t of dark
times is that this same sort of trovble
haa come up in the history of all mo ;e

take up the anclen' Roman ma.-.im:
