MISS KATE BARNARD
PAYS VISIT TO NORMAN
Well Pleased With Improved
Condition of Sanitarium
Miss Kate Barnard was in Norman
Monday and inspected the hospital
for the insane. In the afternoon she
was seen by a reporter of the Voice
and made the following statement:
"A few months ago I inspected this
hospital and found many things to
criticise. I v/ant to tell you that all
the objections I made against the
institution have been corrected under
the splendid management of Dr. Grif-
fin and I am very enthusiastic over
the great improvements that have
been made. I find that the children
of the institution, instead of sleeping
and eating on the floor, are now sleep-
ing on beds and eating at little low
tables made especially for them. I
find all of the rooms neat, clean and
sanitary with the exception of one
ward and that is being improved as
fast as possible. I find rocking chairs,
pictures, flowers and birds in the
wards. The food
and the service are greatly improved.
Dr. Griffin has introduced a nurse's
training school and gives regular lec-
tures to the nurses. The cess pools are
gone and a sanitary plumbing system
installed in every ward, with bath
tubs and all the modern improve-
ments. The old flooring of the wards
has been replaced'by new hard wood,
polished and oiled. The interior of all
the wards has been recently painted
or whitewashed. All the nurses who
showed any tendency to harshness
have been removed. A new refrigera-
tor has been installed in the commis-
sary and this department is neat and
clean. 1 he old tin ware used in the
dining room has been replaced by
chinaware and the service of the
room made efficient. I find curtains
to all of the windows, an excellent
library, a complete micr<>scopL-a!,
bacteriological and pathological lab-
oratory. The stoves protected by
steel guards, and new brick flues. The
bad odors of the wards has been eli-
minated and the atmosphere made
fresh and wholesome by placing wire
screens in the upper half of the doors
of each room. Rules and regulations
governing nurses are posted in every
ward. In every ward records are kept
of the directions of physicians and
the conditions of patients. The
grounds are greatly improved and
beautified. Dr. Griffin has just re-
turned from Oklahoma City where
he purchased a large pump to im-
prove the water service. He invites
the citizens of Norman to visit the
institution an.- da.' except Sunday
and holidays between the hours of
9 to 11 a. m. and 1 to 4 p. m.
"Altogether about $10,000 have
been expended in improvements."
Miss Barnard very heartily con-
gratulated Dr. Griffin and the direc-
tors of the institution on the splendid
improvements that have been made
and thanks them sincerely for co-
operating with her and acting on her
suggestions.
She said the City of Norman is to
be congratulated on having such an
excellent and well managed institu-
tion. She stated that in view of the
large expenditures for improvements
she would exert her influence to see
that this institution be permanently
retained by the state, that if it ever
became necessary to remove the in-
sane elsewhere the institution she be-
lieved would be used as a home for
the aged or something of that kind.
Prof. Jerome Dowd visited the in-
stitution last Saturday with his class
in sociology and he expressed great
surprise at the wonderful changes
that have been wrought and he re-
marked that the people of Norman
should feel very grateful to Dr. Grif-
fin and Miss Barnard for their co-
operation in bringing this institution
up to its present high standard of
equipment and service.
SCHOOLS BE BLOWEO. SO
THE POLITICIANS INTIMATE
D<. D W. Griffin and I)r .lerotne
Dowd have been named hs delegates
to attei d the National Uonfe-ence
of Charities and Correct! na. which
Conference metts in M Louis on
Maj 19th to 28th.
W. N Rucki-r arrived home Suuilay

after bis store at that imint.
In reply to the charges made by ,
Democratic papers at Alva and else- j
wheie that politics controlled the re-
cent selection of the presidents and \
teachers for the Normal schools of J
| the State, members of the board of'
regents deny thut partisan politics,
as between Democrats and Republi-,
cans, ente:ed into the matter, but
admit that factional politics within |
the Democratic party did play a part j
in the tight which was made to depose
certain of th-j heads.
Friends of State Superintendent
Cameron declare that the fight which
was made by close supporters of the
governor to defeat four of the six
Normal presidents for re election was
directed against Cameron, and 'nti-
mate that Haskell himself may have
had some par', in it. The men who
were leading this light had Ross, Mc-
Lauchlln, Sharpe and Moore, all of
whom ate Cameron supporters, slat
ed for dismissal. No fight was made
on Briles or Redd, who are closely al-
igned with the Haskell organization
The plan was to promote /ice-Presi-
dent Hinshaw to the presidency at
Durant, Vice-President Bryan at Ed-
mond and eiiber Vice-President W.
Z Smith or Prof. U. G. Griffith, at
Aha, and to make numerous changes
in the faculties of all of the schools.
With an organization thus formed to
back him up, Scott Glenn, of Shaw-
nee, a number of the board of re-
gents, who v.ited against all four of
the presidents on the blacklist, was
ther. to announce for state superin-
dent against Cameron. Since his
plans did not work out quite as he
expected, Glenn's announcement was
merely tentative.
The election of S. M. Barrett, one
of Cameron's most bitter enemies, to
a position in the faculty of the State
University, is claimed to be a part
of this scheme. Lee Cruce, who has
hitherto been rather friendly toward
Cameron, is held responsible for the
election of Barrett, again indicating
the possibilit\ of a close alliance be-
tween Haskell and Cruce.
The re ult of the fight for the con-
trol of the Normal schools was rath-
era dog-fall. Cameron and his friends
secured the re-election of three of
the presidents against whom a fight
was directed and succeeded in oust-
ing Smith, Hinshaw and Glover, three
of their most bitter enemies. But
Glenn, on the other hand, was able to
prevent the re-election of Ross, and
was also able to land U. G. Griffith,
one of the strong anti-Cameron men,
as vice-president at Edmond.

TRACK MEET.
j Friday afternoon on Boyd Field oc-
curred one of the closest dual track
j meets ever held at Norman when the
Oklahoma A. & M. and the Univer-
sity of Oklahoma met for the State
Supremacy . Every event wis a
contest and resulted in several new
records being set. Artie R?eds won
the all-around honor scoring twenty
one points. He set new marks in the
hammer throw and shot put.Diamond
also broke the mile record by six
seconds lowering to 4:52 . Toe fina
score was 08 to ">:t Oklahoma Univer-
sity winning and the Meet was a
succe-s. Stillwater has a bunch of
good, strong, clean, Athletes.
Former Governor Folk, of Missouri,
has issued a timely warning to the
Democrats along the same lines that
we have been hammering on for some
ime.
Says the former governor:
"The sentiment of the country now
is for Ihe Democratic party, but it is
not for the Democratic party no mat-
ter how controlled.
"The sentiment abroad in the land
today is not for the Democratic party
as such; it is for the real, and not the
false, Democratic principles. In or-
der to profit by that sentiment the
Democratic party must, by platform
and by candidate, declare sincerely
for these principles.
"In other words, the Democratic
party must be democratic. It cannot
be benefitted by the growing senti-
ment against privilege, if it permit
itself to be controlled by privilege.
The pirty must convince the people
not of what it purposes to to do for
itself, but what it purposes to do for
them."
As Mr. Folk says, the Democratic
party cannot be ruled by the Bel-
mont?, the Ryans, and other special
interests, and hope to win the codH
dence of the people.
Just because Its name is different
from the party that is ruled by the
Steel Trust, the Sugar trust, the Oil
Trust and other big trusts, is no rea
son why the people will turn from the
Republican party when the Demo
cratic party is controlled by the same
special interests.
The people are tired of being ruled
by special privileges.
They are lired of Aldrlchism and
Cannonlsm, but there are Aldrlchs
and Cannons in the Democratic party
too, and until they are kicked out of
Ihe party the Democrats will not gain
by the dissatisfaction of the people.
The campaign tor the State capital
location is beginning to warm up con
siderably in Oklahoma City, but in
other parts of the state the people
are not becoming excited, and when
the time comes will vote deliberately
and ju-t about the way the Oklaho-
ma City boosters anticipate, to-wit:
No! Oklahoma will take up the mat-
ter of selecting a capital city after
1913, as the enabling act provides.
Ihe election at this time simply en-
ables the Oklahoma town boosters to
get In a boost for Oklahoma City real
estate now and one again in 1913. A
great town for boosting is Oklahoma
City; but It will hardly ever be the
capital city of the State.
