financial condition will always
. find a welcome at St. John's hos-

shows that nt least one-third of
our patients will be charity cases
hut they will not be restricted to
even that proportion. The hos-
pital will not be conducted to
make money but to fulfill the
precepts laid down by the Son of
(lod who taught brotherlly love."

set for the campaign was 1250000
and according to present Indications

Days After Legislature

OKLAHOMA CITY March 24
There Is a strong probability that if
(iovernor Williams follows sugges-
tions of 00 per cent of the replies he
Is getting relative to a ppropriat ions
for secondary c.lticaliona! sehools of
the statu that there will be nothing
left but the State university and the
A. & M. college a Stillwater. The
possibility of this became very strong
this evening.
While the governor was not ready
this evening to make a definite state
ment it Is believed that appropria-
tions for nil Hie secondary normal
schools and the .'.i..trict agricultural
scIiooIh may be eliminated. However
they may not all be cut off now. but
It Is almost settled that some will be
a bolisbed.
liCfl to People; Answered.
For the past several days the gov-
ernor has been receiving leplles to an
iiiuuiry he sent out Immediately after
the legislature adjourned. There were
appropriations made for all the
schools. Before the session he vetoed
the appropriation for the Tonkawa
schools but afterwards allowed u re-
duced appropriation to go thru pre-
ferring to lei vp the mutter in the
bands of the tax payers whom he
proceeded to ask about It.
At first It was thot the diminution
process would take in only tbe
Tonkawa preparatorv school. the
Claremoro school tho school of
mines at Wllhiirton ami one or two
of tho district agricultural schools
but correspondents In reply to the
governor's (piery recommend that
I. early nil of them should bo main-
tained ut further expense us they
were not Interferrlng In any way with
the success of the two main Institu-
tions of the state the state univer-
sity and the A. & M. college.
To Decide Next Week
(iovernor Williams will make up
his mind soma time next week whut
ho will do in the matter. Fifteen
days from the time the legislature
adjourned is the limit in which he
has to approve or disapprove the ap-
propriations. If lie does not act in
tht time all die. He may disapprove
any single Item in the list. He In-
tends iictifiT In the matter however
before It is too late.
Abolishment of these secondary
schools by cuttini" the appropriation
vi ill be the most el leetlve w iv of ret-
ting l Id of them and also the mo t
drastic move that will have been
taken In this way since statehood. The
district agricultural schools were cre-
ated more fur political purposes than
anything- else altho It Is claimed that
they have In a way dein good

There will probably he stron: of-
posltior from Hie institutional towns
I. tiair.it the cutting of upp'-opriatioi.s
that would mean the closing up of the
school km far as t ie state support Is
loncerned. Especially may this como
from the agricultural schools but tho
governor has said that "I am here to
act for the best ict"rsts of the state
and to do It fearlessly and without

punishment. It Is cp to 'he taxpayer!
