CITY PARK COMING TO LIFE.
We understand tht Street Commis
'sioner B. M. Bracken has been at
work this week on the city park,
cleaning off the ground and setting
out trees and otherwise fixing that
spot of ground up in excellent shape.
It certainly needed attention and the
city authorities are to be commended
for their efforts along this line. The
Norman City Park ought to be made
#the heauty spot of Norman, and it
could be if the people would take the
necessary interest. The weeds should
be kept cut, the trees looked after,
flowers set out along the driveway, a
w..ter fountain installed and every
thing else done which goes to the
making of a first class park.
If there are no funds to carry on
this work entertainments and ban
cjuets should be held for the purpose
of raising a park fund. Other towns
do this, so why not Norman?
l.et us push our civic pride beyond
the confines of Main Street, letting
it extend at least as far as the city
park.
OKLAHOMA TWENTY-FOUR

GOVERNOR VETOES ENFORCE-
MENT ACT.
For the second time during this
session of the legislature Governor
Cruce has vetoed a legislative act to
abolish the office of state enforcement
officer now held by VV. J. Caudill
Immediately after the governor had
vetoed the measure Mr Caudill filed
his resignation with the governor to
take effect on June 1st.
As it only takes two-thirds of each
house to pass the bill over the gov
ernor's vetoe it is quite likely that
this will be done.
On Tuesday at 12 o'clock twenty
four years ago Oklahoma was opened
to settlement. Before the sun went
down dozens of tents and covered
wagons were scattered over the town
-ite of Norman and nearly every
quarter section of land contained a
settler.
Today Norman has a population of
more than 4,UK) people and is one of
the best and cleanest cities in Okla
homa.
Of the several hundred who located
in Norman on April 22nd only a very
few remain. They are I). L. Larsh,
W. T. Mayfield and VV. II. Seawell
S. G. Howery who staked a claim
adjoining the town is still residing
here, holding down the same place
Ed P. Ingle who arrived on the
first day and settled on the claim
north of town is residing here.
Hank Hefley lived with his parents
at the section house on the day of the
22nd, resides a few blocks west of
the University.
H. Downing, who still owns the
farm in the ten mile flat that he
made the run for, is a resident of
Norman.
Teen Cook came in from the Potta
watotnie line and located on a claim
near Denver, has been a resident here
for several years.
There are quite a number of people
who reside here arrived during the
year.

I.very indication now points to the
interurhan being built on the east side
of the Santa Fe railroad from Moore
to Norman. The surveyors are run
ning a line this week and are expect
ed to complete the survey into Nor
man by today.
The survey goes through the main
street of Moore crossing the railroad
and then conies on nearly an air line
to Norman.
The committee who has charge of
getting the right of way west of the
railroad are meeting with all sorts
of obstacles and it begins to look lik
failure stares them in the face.
The farmers on the east side ar«
jubilant over the prospects in getting
the road as they readily see that it
means an enhancement of real estate
and a great convenience to them.
Norman wants the road and stands
ready to do its just and reasonable
share in obtaining it.
It is believed that something defi
nite will be known by next week.

DRAWS ONE YEAR AND A DAY.
On last Thursday at Little Rock,
Arkansas, A. II. Fmenhiser was con
victed in the federal court for using
the mails to defraud and was sentenc-
ed to one year and a day in the federal
prison at Atlanta. Georgia.
Emenhiser is fairly well known in
Norman, having blew in lure early
last fall to attend school. He -tarled
sell coal under the name of tin
Square Deal Coal Company but only
sted a short time.
His downfall was caused by operat
ing a detective agency at Hot Springs,
Vrkansas, known as the International
Detective Agency. The plan pursued
was to advertise for persons to do de
ive work under certain promise
that was impossible for the promoters
fulfill. Emenhiser was clearly a
victim of the "get rich quick" plan.
DEMOCRAT-REPUBLICAN
BASEBALL.
What promises to be the most in
teresting baseball game of the season
is the one to be pulled off next Wed
nesday, April 30th, between the demo-
crats and the republicans. This game
is an annual affair in Norman and
always looked forward to with
great interest by ail fans and players.
Those who will take part in the game
this year follow:
Democrats: Pat Berry, Steve Gra
ham. \\ I,. C apshaw, Geo. Wymore,
Gotch Swank. A. R. Clement, Buck
Clement, Claude Summers and Jim
niie White.
Republicans: Louis Smith, Arthur
Williams, II. P. Meyer, Jack Foster.
Ray Fischer, Frank Reed, Fred Rey-
hls, M. F. McFarland, Claude Pick
ard and Clyde Pickard.
WEATHER AND CROPS.
Norman and vicinity was visited
by a splendid rain Tuesday night, fol-
lowed by slow showers all day Wed-
nesday. The rain has put a fine
season in the ground and came just
at the proper time, as there was a
hard crust forming on top of the
ground which was preventing stuff
from coming up. The weather has
been fine the past week, though a
very disagreeable wind prevailed for
veral days prior to the rain.
Wheat and oats are still looking
fine and all other crops are growing
by leaps and bounds. The trees are
putting out in fine shape and the
whole country looks like one grand
weep of green sward.
KEEPING UP THE GOOD WORK.
Tom F. Carey, of the Norman Mill
ing & Grain Company, is taking much
pride in parking the vacant ground
adjacent to the company's buildings.
Opposite the elevator he has erected
frames and has set out honeysuckle
ines which, in a year or so, will be
admired by all who come and go
Mills and elevators are not expected
to look beautiful, but it is remarkable
what a noticeable change can be made
when civic pride gets its fettering
hold on a fellow. If the good work
is kept up Norman will have by far
the cleanest, neatest, most attractive
and the best kept right of way of any
town, small or large, in the state
GOVERNOR VETOES BILL.
Governor Cruce vetoed the bill abol
ishing the twelve state deputy game
wardens who draw salaries of $800
aeh to look after the wild game and
fish in their respective district- The
governor contends that the deputy
game warden- are a necessity and
they cost the taxpayers nothing.
We believe that the state should
maintain a state game warden but we
are at a loss to fully understand the
need of twelve salaried deputies. The
money paid them should be used in
the propagation of game and fish and
the sheriffs of the various counties
should look after the enforcement of
the game laws.
There is no room in Norman for
the knocker.
OKLAHOMA'S EDUCATIONAL
SYSTEM.
By Geo. A. Landrum. Assistant State
Superintendent of Public In-
struction.
I he common people of Oklahoma
have an abiding and a growing faith
in their system of public education.
There is a surprising amount of <
dence of this fact when we think
certain discouraging conditions that
have prevailed among our people from
lime to time To be sure, the hard
times and high taxes of which i
wont to complain have left their mark
upon some of our school- in the i
of shorter terms and cheaper teachers
and decreased appropriations for nee
essary equipment, but statistics -hov
that on the whole tin people have in
vested more time and money and
thought and labor in promoting the
welfare of their schools in tin- past
two years than in any previous bien
ilium of prosperity in tin history of
the state.
VV e can account for this in no otli
er way than by attributing to our citi
zenship a profound faith in popular
education. I hey believe implicitly in
the wisdom of our Oklahoma fathers
in making pos-ible a system of public
schools and their faith has grown, no
doubt, by reason of the liberality with
which each succeeding legislature has
made additional provisions for public
education, and in no small degree by
reason of our diversified system of
sta*e schools through whose local in
fluences, the seeds of popular educa
lion have been sown in every part of
the state.
There arc 6,647 public school build
ings in Oklahoma. Six hundred and
forty six of tliein have- been erected
within the past two years at a cost
>f $3,015,432. There are 12.022 teach
•is employed in the public schools of
tin stale and more than 2,000 of these
have been added during the past
eighteen months, making a total in
•tease in the annual expenditures for
teachers, alone, of more than $600,(XX)
Tin average salaries of teachers have
been increased 5 per cent in the past
> year-. The amount of money ex-
pended for school libraries in 1911 12
i- 50 percent more than in 1910-11 and
more books have been purchased in
the last two years than in the previous
thirteen years. It is safe to say, also,
that more money has been expended
for modern school equipment in the
pa-t two years than in any five year-
preceding In one county alone, there
were seventy-five modern heating and
ventilating plans installed last year.
Twenty-Nine New Schools.
Two years ago there were reported
ixty nine school district- unable to
maintain a three months term of
hool; the latest report shows only
thirty such districts. Twenty-nine dis
triet- supported schools last year that
bad no school at all the previous year
There are at present ninety-six con
lidated rural schools in the state and
twenty of these have been organized
in the past eighteen months. Approxi
mately forty of these schools have at
tained the standard of qualification-
necessary to entitle them to state aid
under the law.
The people of the state -pent $200.
(XX) more for buildings and equipment
for school purposes in 1911-12 than
they did in 1910-11 and the total ex
penditure for all school purpose- f<>r
the year 1911-12 shows an increase
over the previous year of $2,2(X).(XX).
The last annual report of tin- aver
age daily attendance in the public
hools shows an increase of 2 per
nt over the previous year. In the
year 1910-11 26 pe r cent of thci whole
number of teachers employed held
fir-t grade certificate-; in 1911-12 32
cent of them held first grade cer
tificate-. The number of second grade
rtificaes decreased 2 per cent for
the same period and the number of
third grade certificates decreased 4
per cent. The number of grded school-
has increased 12 per cent since tht
lose of the fiscal year 1910-11
Citizens Loyal to Schools.
We have reason to congratulate tin
people of the state upon the steady
schools. In the midst of hard time-
growth observed in our common
and political agitation, the people have
n remarkably loyal and liberal in
their supprt of the schools. This atti
tude of tin- masses toward their com
mon schools in Oklahoma is due, in
no small measure, to the valiant ser
vices of the state common -ehool in
pector, the county superintendents
and the local school officers who have
been working overtime in the interest
f greater efficiency in their educa
tional machinery. Perhaps the most
imperative need of the common
cliools everywhere i- better trained
and more permanent teaching force
Here Oklahomans are to be < ongratu
lated again on having the facilities,!
which in time, will go far t"\\ "1-1
meeting this demand and ultimately
bringing every rural child in reach of
a trained teacher.
There are more than 500 schools in
the state doing some accredited high
school work. One hundred and twenty
f these are doing four years of ac-
credited work whereas two years ago
there was les- than 4*X) schools at
tempting any high school studies and
less than fifty schools fully accredit
d with the university A number of
these best high -chools are to be
found in cities where state schools arc
doing elementary work in education.
I he -late high school inspector has re-
cently succeeded in getting fourteen
"f our better schools recognized by
the North Central association of sec
ondary schools. The report shows that
more progress has been made in build
nig up standard high schools in Okla
homa during the past eighteen months
than in any other state holding mem
bership in the North Central associa
tion I he state board of education,
through il- agent, the state high school
inspector, has succeeded in awaken
ing a new interest in high school
standards, and in creating greater sen
ti ment among the people everywhere
for h.igh school advantages. It U to
be hoped that this work may con
linue until ultimately every ambitious
boy and girl in the stale may be in
reach of a standard high school.
There are many private and de
nominational schools in tin state and
in these were enrolled approximately
10,000 ()klahoma boys and girls last
year; more than 500 others were in
attendance upon colleges and univer
sities outside the state. In our own
nineteen state schools there were
more than 7,(KM) boys and girls enter
ed last yer, about 4(X) of whom grad
uated in the courses offered. AH of
the state schools under the control of
the state board of education are in
excellent condition. The past two
years has wrought many material
•hange- in their equipment and man
igeinent and as a result the standard
of work is much higher than in previ
ous years.
The attendance probably has not in
reased as much in the past two years
as might have been expected had con
ditions been more settled with refer
ence to the permanency of the -( hools
The persistent agitation in favor of
abolition has undoubtedly had its ef
feci in retarding tin normal growth
f all of our state schools; it account*
for the fact that so many of our boys
1 girls left the state to ottend other
schools. The state board of education
has performed a distinct and pernian-
service to the state in the reor-
ganization of our state schools and
bringing to our university Dr. Strat-
ton D. Brooks, a distinguished educa-
tor whose influence is already creat
ing greaer confidence among our peo-
ple in the cause of higher education.

STRATION WORK.

\V ashington, April 18.—Representa-
tive Murray of Oklahoma, who is the
torm center of the row which has
been raised over reported intention
"i tin department of agriculture to
withdraw federal aid from farm de-
monstration work m Oklahoma, stat-
es, after an interview with Secretary
j Houston, that the department of ag-
riculture will not withdraw federal a'd
for tins work in Oklahoma, and that
he will not desist in his efforts to ob-
tain an a^ent of the department who
" ill not further be involved in any po-
litical warfare against the Oklaho-
ma state board of agriculture.
"The trouble over the Oklahoma
work grew out of the participation of
the federal agent, W D. Bentley, and
•'is assistants in the political move-
ment to recall the state board of ag-
riculture last winter," said Represen-
tative Murray tonight. "I think the
federal agents and the state board
both are doing a good work, but I
realize that the best results can be ob-
tained it the two agencies are in har-
mony. It i- for this reason that I sug-
gested to Mr. Knapp of the depart-
ment of agriculture, who is at the
head of this work, that Mr. Bentley
be replaced by a man not identified
with any fight against the state board,
and I submitted to him the name of
O. (i. Harper of Buffalo, Harper coun-
ty. as a suitable man for the place.
Mr. Knapp told me that Mr. Rentley
is loo satisfactory to the department
to be taken from the Oklahoma work.
I hereupon I filed with Dr. Houston,
the secretary of agriculture, certified
opies of recall petitions which Mr
Benlley's agents had circulated against
the slate board, and which were sjgn-
ifl by Mr. Rentley and some of his
assistant-. I filed these papers to
show that Mr Rentley actually inter-
fered with tin state board, which was
re elected with a single exception,
nd that naturally there could not be
the complete co-operation between the
man who had tried to have the board
recalled and the members of the
board who were sustained by the peo-
ple.
"When I submitted these papers I
uggested to Secretary Houston that
he and Dr. Galloway, Dr. True and
Mr. Knapp meet the Oklahoma mem-
bers of congress in conference, and
that Representatives Weaver and
Thompson were ready to meet him
and these other gentlemen at any
time.
I want to say that because we want
a change in agents to the end that
both forc( may better co-operate, it
does not follow that the office shall
be abolished because of dissatisfaction
with the man who runs the office. It
i- folly to think that the department
f agriculture will undertake to stop
(be farm demonstration work in Ok-
lahoma because I suggested a change
that would insure heartier co-opera-
tion between the federal government
and the state government.
"I shall continue to insist upon the
placing of the federal work in Okla-
homa in the hands of a man who will
ot continue to participate in a politi-
al movement against the state board
f agriculture."

ANOTHER BEAUTY SPOT.
The West Side Bakery is keeping
tep with the town's progress, and
specially along the lines of civic
pride. Their bakery house i* located

fenced, arranged and planted this
ear Flowers and shrubbery are al
i ead v showing up in fine shape and
the walks of crushed rock add much
to the looks of the park. Many com-
pliments are pas-ed on this little park,
