NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC
Any erroneous reflection upon ii.i - .. .. landing or reputation of
any person, firm or corporation which may app! ar in the columns of the
Nowata Daily Star or the Nowata Stav-Tinu will be gladly corrected u;
its being brought to the attention of the manager.
THE AMERICAN’S CREED
“I believe in the United States of America as a government of 1
people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived fro
the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nu
tion of many sovereign states; a perfect union, one and inseparable, estab-
lished upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity
for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
“I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to sup-
port its constitution; to obey it laws; to respect its flag, and to defend it
against all enemies.”
broad-minded, industrious, progressive, and with one excep-
tion. intelligent- It is really unfortunate that the citizens
of that little city should not be penalized by having forced
on them a person of such low mentality as this alleged '‘ed-
itor.”
Wake up. Delaware—you do not deserve such an af-
fliction.
MURDER AS A FINE ART
A Chicago ccmr.iiuee declares it is easier to commit raur-
oer ;;r.d get away with it than to perpotrafe nny other crime,
r.ut of 210 murders in Chicago last year, only one murderer
■ : v auged and only nine sentenced to death. It is not easy
; > fix the responsibility for such a lax enforcement of the law,
but it is manifest that there exists a radical defect which
roust be discovered and remedied before crime can be ap-
preciably diminished.
Probably Chicago in no worse than other cities in this
respect. The people of every municipality must keep a vigi-
lant eye on the work of their peace officers and their courts if
criminals are to be. brought to task and thoroughly and
a cl equate Iv p u n ished.
The .-elec!ion of these officers is in the hands of the-
people and their high or low standard is according to popu-
lar demand.
EXCISE BOARD FAVORS TAXPAYERS.
That the people of Nowata county have all the taxes
they can possibly take care of and the voting of more taxes,
when not absolutely needed, would be a hardship upon the
people and should be frowned upon. vr> the opinion of a
majority of the members of the excise board Saturday, when
they voted to reconsider their formei action and reduced the
levy for road bonds from 11 j mills to 2.54 mills.
We do not doubt the sincerity of the men oppose up, the
re-opening of the matter and reducing the levy, but we un-
hesitatingly say that if any doubt existed in their minds, that
doubt should have been rcsol' ed in iavor ol the taxpayer-,
as against the men who purchased the bonds. The bonding
company does not have to imv the taxes, and naturally tin-
bond men would be glad to have ail the bonds at once. But
as the county commissioners exercised them > :„ • • and fore-
sight to deliver only the amount of munis as needed, cr.j
committee representing the taxpayers ■ untended that an ex-
orbitant levy should not he made this year of all year c n
that the levy be made only largo enough to tal-e - are of tha
amount of bends actually delivered, the: -by saving the lax
payers the increased levy this year. Thi • contention was
upheld by the attorney genera!.
Those who made vhe campaign over tae county in fa-
vor of the bonds advised tin* people *ih;.t every safeguard
possible would be thrown around the tax payors and their
interests fully protected. The speakers advised the people
that the increase in taxes would amount to only $”.70 on the
$1,000 as an average, and they naturally protested and en-
deavored to protect the interests of the tax payers when the
levy for the first year was made bl.-Vt. Now that the levy
has been made $2.54, which in the opinion of the attorney
general is ample for the firs' year, the people have an oppor-
tunity to judge whether the "bond hoo-t'.-s-’ are making
good on their pledge.
In the meeting of the excise board Saturday were men
who had opposed the bond i -ue, ! u who, now that it has
been voted, want to see the tax payers relieved of any un-
necessary burden and they were a unit in declaring that the
excise board had done ‘bo right thing in re-cons!.wring and
lowering the levy.
The Star does not charge any member of the excise board
with wilfully attempting to increase the taxes. but wo fail to
see. when the opinion of the ■ tenm; gene -al is <> plain, and
when the benefit would redound t- the taxpayers, why a
unanimous vote in favor of the nropc-iiion could not be had.
BACK TO 5CHOOL.
Tomorrow morning the children of Nowata county will
start on another nine months oi school and the school officials
eve been busy this week preparing for their return. . No-
t.i county schools are in as good condition this year as any
. year, *nd while the Nowata schools will be com-
; ltd to operate on a reduced budget, compared to former
.us, the officials are very optimistic over a suecessful
•bool term.
While the school officials have been exerting every ot-
to get thing! in ’mess, and interesting themselves in
n... - i tollable for the students as possible,
i • ul: tiig parents of the children? Are they ex-
hibiting much interest in getting their children prepared
tor school as the school officials are exhibiting to receive
them? The teachers can do their part when the children
are sent to school, but unless the parent, exhibits a •■'pi.’it of
co-operation and sees that the child goes to school the first
cay and remains m .--cbool, the teacher can do little to help
the child in its studies.
The Rotary Club is carrying on a campaign this week to
get the boys back in school., impressing upon them the foot
ihat after all. an education is the most desirable thing to be
l ad. By a serigs of advertisements ir the Daily Star, the
club is endeavoring to place the respondin' '/ of an educa-
tion solely upon the shoulders of the young men. Thu edu-
cation is there for them, given gratis, and it is up to them to
take it or leave it alone And the young man who is wise
will not fail to avail himself of Lie opportunity.
But the parents can co-operate with the school ofiiclals
in }; large measure by .'burling their children in school on ‘he
opening day and keeping them there every school day of the
week for the full term.
Announcement
TEACHERS PLACED MINE WORKERS ARE
IN GRADE SCHOOL NOT MOLESTED
To the People of Nowata
t
and Nowata County
We iictaby announce to the public of Nowata and No-
wata Coi-nty that we have opened a grocery ^nd meat
market ii* the building formerly occupied by the Elite
store and that we will appreciate a part of your patron-
age.
In addition to a large stock of staple groceries, fresh
ajid cured meats we will at all times carry a complete line
of fruits and vegetables and other table necessities.
May we have your patronage?
A
The members of the Board of Ed-
ucation and Superintendent R. Lee
Snyder have finished the placing of
the teachers in the grade school and
everything is in readiness for the
starting of school Monday morning.
The task of placing the teachers
where they could accomplish the
j rentest good was no small matter
and the school officials have kept
in mind the interest of the pupils as
well as the teachers in making the
assignments.
Many parents request the super-
intendent to place their children
with some particular teacher and
where this has been possible it has
been done, but the school officials
must' consider the greatest good to
the greatest number in making the
assignments and they have endeav-
ored to place the teachers where
they would work to the best ad-
vantage and be of the greatest
benefit to the pupils.

HIS MOTHER HERE
SOME MEN—AND RATTLESNAKES.
We have the greatest respect for the man 'ho ..lands up
'or his convictions and who. when convinced that he is wrong,
idm'ts his error, but we have about as much respect for a
nan \.ho deliberate.;* misrepresents an v-r,..* of interest to the
public, as we have for the proverbial rattlesnake.
* And that’s the way we feel about the alleged “editor”
of the Delaware News, who has for the pa d. two nvr.ths been
misrepresenting the road bond issue and villi tying the citi-
zens of Nowata and Nowata coirry We have so far failed
to take any notice of the mad raving-' of this person, knowing
full well that the circulation of h.r- dirty shout probably did
not extend outside the city limits of Delaware, and we have
purpose.v passed up any mention he has made of tb-; editor of
this paper, the “Bumcome Club.as he ' Tued'it, and the
“grafters of Nowata.” as we considered him not worth an an-
swer. (We also refrained from commenting upon hi^ en-
forced visit in Nowata on the night of July 4.)
And we would not deign a reply <o hi* sarcastic re-
marks at this time, if it were not for the fact that he insists
in misrepresenting the bond issue levy. In The issue of his
sheet for August 29, appears the following:
“The county commissioners lu^t Saturday sold the entire
issue (bond) to R. J. Edwards, bond buyer of Oklahoma City,
at a premium of $10,300.
‘'Of course that sounds big, all big figures look interesting,
but the fact remains that we, the people, v.ill have to dig up $1.7.7
in taxes for the next 2o years for each SKJOO valuation.”
'Mrs. L. C. Chance of Savannah,
La., r:rived yesterday for a sever-
al months visit at the home of her
son, E. E. Chance, manager of
me O. T. Motor Company. She
was accompanied by her son,
Clarence of the same address.
Cambria, Sept. 6.—In spite of
threats that the open “hop mine at
Cambria would not be permitted
to operate, hoisting oi coal bf gan
in the mines today.
A detachment of national guards,
men is on duty at llie mine- No
tioublo came during the entir-.
day and between sixty and seventy-
five tuns of coal were mined.
According to L ha Patterson,
superintendent of the mine which
is owned by the Kali-fpla Coal Co.,
the production will be increased if
there is no trouble.
More i han 125 non-union miners
are working in the mines and tjji-
number is approximately a full
working force, according to th<
superintendent. Deliveries of coal
are expected to be made .through
the McAlestcr Fuel company Sat-
urday.
Trouble was anticipated no the
first day of minint- because of
threats received by tlm superinten-
dent that “a car of coal would
never be permitted to be hoisted
from the mines.”
Guardsmen .were alert ill dur-
ing the day. Last Monday morning
when the national guardsmen ar-
rived, mine guards were fired upi i
from ambush.

In the,first place tjne levy was only $4.50. In the sec-
ond place any school child can take a pencil and figure that -rom Nowata to.
the amount would not be the same every year, but would de-
crease proportionately. But, the alleged "editor” of the
News probably is not equipped with the brains of an ordi-
nary school child, so he can’t be blamed for that.
The rate on the bond issue was figured by two expert
accountants and the average lor tin* 25 years was placed at
$2.70. This was the amount told the taxpayers, the alleged
“editor” of the News included and lie was defied to success-
fully contradict this. He has not even attempted to do so,
other than by misrepresentation through the columns of his
sheet.

■in Strength
and Performance
In its admiration of the good Maxwell’s ability
tc outperform anything at anywhere near the
price, the American public should remember—
1st.—That no other car in America, regardless
‘ of price, excels Maxwell strength and staunch-
ness in proportion to weight and power.
2nd.—That at all vital points, metals and con-
struction arc the same as in cars that cost three
to four times as much.
3rd.—That in its manufacture, no measures
are too costly to protect the owner fully, in
person and in pocket. »
Those are the precise reasons why the good
Maxwell — now under the supervision of
Chrysler engineers—stands up and delivers its
splendid service at such amazingly low cost.
All Maxwell dealers are in position to extent! the convenience
of time-payments. Ask about Maxwell’s attractive plan.
