'JONES PAYS THE FREIGHT'
After all, isn't it a fact that
the people pay? Legislatures
and congresses pass so-called re-
lief measures and reform bills,
having for their ostensible ob-
ject the raising of certain rev-
enues from corporations, rich
men, trusts, money loaners, etc.,
and relieving the humble worker
and small property owner of
just that much of the burden of
taxation the humble worker
and the small property owner
still pays; indirectly if not di-
rectly ?
Put a tax on the money loan-
er, and he raises his rates of in-
terest enough to cover it. Put
of endeavor in the United
States? Is it going to reduce
the wages of school teachers, of
clerks, of government employ-
ees, of masons and carpenters
and laborers and mine workers
and printers and other wage
workers? Are we going back to
first principles; to the day of
low prices and low wages?

John D. is another one of 'em
denouncing Republicans and the

Bids were opened at Washing-
ton, Monday, for the proposed
sites of public buildings at Ho-
b a r t, Woodward, Chandler,
Frederick, Altus and several
other Oklahoma towns. They
ranged all the way from $5,000
to $10,000. Appropriations run-
ning from $55,000 to $86,000
were made by the last congress
for public buildings at each of
these places. Because Norman
did not "get busy" she was left
out—as she always is, and al-
ways will be until her men learn
some sense.

Have you noticed the great
bers of the House and the Re-
publicans about 140, there was
not much hope of Mr. Murdock's
election.

"That man Edwards is cer-
Stainly a Joe Dandy," is the uni-
versal comment of all who have
taken cognizance of his most ex-
cellent work for the betterment
of Norman and its beautifying;
even more forarousingthespirit
of civic improvement among
our people than for his great
work in promoting the parks.
Norman certainly ought to ap-
preciate him. The Transcript
wishes we had more like him.

Death of Mrs. Fred Grill.
Mrs. Mary Grill, wife of Fred
Grill of this city, died in St.
Anthony's hospital in Oklaho-
ma City on Sunday, after un-
dergoing an operation for tu-
mor of the stomach. The body
was brought to Norman on
Monday, and funeral services
held at the Catholic church on
Wednesday, conducted by Rev.
Monseignor Metter. Burial was
made in the Catholic cemetery.
Mrs. Grill was some 50 years
of age, and a most estimable
lady. She formerly resided on
Route 5, but moved to Norman
some months ago. She leaves a
husband, several children and
many warm friends to mourn
her departure.

Good Words for Good Work.
The Inland Printer, leading
printers' journal of the world,
has the following to say of some
samples of work sent it by Lee
White, artistic job printer and
adv. setter on The Transcript:
"Some excellent full-page ads

These ads need no criticism,
and we regret our space this

reproduction."
"All the work has been handl-
ed in an able manner, and the
' results are very pleasing. The
I letter head of The Norman
Transcript is especially good."
The American Printer, an-
' other high-class journal, also
speaks very highly of Lee's
work.
High School Athletic Meet.
The University faculty and
students who have the matter
of the Annual High School Ath-
letic Meet in charge, which is to
be held on Boyd Held on t ri-
day and Saturday of next week,
April 25th and 26th, say it will
be by all odds the greatest and
best of any event ever before
held in Oklahoma. There will
be a great many more high
schools take part in it than ever
before, and large crowds of
"rooters" are expected from all
over the state. Special trains
will be run on the Santa Fe
from the north and south to ac-
commodate the visitors.
This event was first thought
of and promoted by President
Boyd, and every year it grows
in interest and attendance.
Norman throws open her doors
to the visitors, and shows them
every courtesy and a thorough
good-will.

Who's Who in Oklahoma.
Some one has prepared a
book entitled 'Who's Who in
America," which gives the
names of 17,546 of the most
important men in the United
States. Oklahoma's quota is 84,
and of those eighty-four, seven
are on the faculty of the State
University. The list includes
Stratton D. Brooks president of
the University; Dr. Jerome
Dowd, head of the sociology de-
partment ; Prof. S. M. Barrett.' *
of the education department; J.
C. Monnet, dean of the law
school; Prof. R. T. House, head
of the German department, and
Jesse J. Dunn and Samuel W.
Hayes, special lecturers in the
law department.
These men are mentioned as
having "accomplished some
worthy achievement, something
out of the ordinary, something
that distinguishes them from
the vast majority of their con-
temporaries"—either as au-
thors, educators, lawyers or ju-
rists.
