The people of Enid will shortly be
culled upon to vote I wo hundred
thousand dollars bonds for a high
school. The need of a high school
is urgent, and there is hardly any
doubt that the bonds will be voted.
At the HHinc time, the question of
whether the city shall vote fifteen
thousand dollars in bonds to pay for
the school land leases and improve-
ments of the lessees on the section
set apart by the legislature for the
state home for the feeble minded will
be submitted. ,
And while we are about it, there
Is another small issua which should
by all means be authorized. The
city water works department is al-
most entirely without funds with
which to make the necessary im-
provements to insure au adequate
supply for summer use and fire pro-
tection. It will not require a great
deal more to put the water works
plant in first class condition.
And it appears to The Eagle
that it would be an ex-
ceedingly short sighted policy which
would prompt the taxpayers to stop
just short of the desired goal. Com-
missioner Hitchcock has not. asked
for a bond issue yet. but It is appar-
ent to any one who is at all familiar
with conditions that he will not be
able to make proper headway with-
out funds. The wafer works system
is by far the biggest and most val-
uable institution In the city, and
with the enormous demand for new
mains and Increased supply it cannot
b<* operated on wind. Let's give
Hitchcock enough money to properly
equip his plant, and then check It up
to him to make good.
The Eagle does not favor going in
debt, and regrets the necessity of any
bond issue. But it Is better to spread
the cost of necessary improvements
out over a number of years than to
force the taxpayers of the present
day to pay a burdensome rate.
EIHSON'H OREAT FEAT.
On another page of The Eagle to-
day will be found a picture of the
new storage battery street car In-
vented by Edison which was put In
successful operation a few days ago.
The car, outside of Its peculiar mo-
tive power equipment, is little differ-
ent from any other street car. When
operated It carried nearly forty pas-
sengers. though It has only seats for
twenty-seven. Mr. Edison had the
extra number of passengers on board
merely to show that the car would
not lack in power if heavily loaded.
Great Interest has been manifested
in scientific circles the past year In
the new inventions of the electrical
wizard along the storage battery
lint*. If it Is possible on the start to
make a street car that will carry
forty passengers up a four per cent
grade, as this one has done, why is
it not possible to do away with poles
and wires altogether in street car
service, and to so perfect the appli-
ances of automobiles that the engines
now in general use will he displaced
by the electrical machines which are
already very popular in the large cit-
ies? In fact, what Is not possible to
believe can be worked out of the lat-
est practically applied Idea of this
great mind?
And what an enormous saving
would result from a street railway
system without poles, wires or the
complicated and costly power houses
which are now necessary. Of course
there would still have to be means
of generating power, but such means
would be far simpler and cheaper
than those In use today. Is it not
likely, also, that the storage battery
will prove a great asset in the devel-
opment of the air *nlp, doing away
to a large extent with the heavy mo-
tors now in use in propelling the
skycraft, and making more certain
the easy and sure operation of the
birds of the air?
Time and again the world has beer,
impelled to make acknowledgement
of its immeasureable debt to the
greatest inventor of the age. and it
appears that the storage battery he
has perfected Is to work as great a
revolution as any of the many ideas
he has evolved in the last thirty
years.
On Thursday of last week the
United Press dispatches carried a
story from Washington that Taft had
given It out clearly at the White
House that he did not intend to assist
Cannon in holding onto his job any
longer, that the speakers unpopular-
ity Is a big block In the way of need-
ed legislation, and that the president
Intends to bend all Ills energies to-
ward getting his policies enacted in-
to laws and not to save Cannon. All
of which goes to show that Taft has
Joined the ever Increasing multitude
who. according to the postmasters of
the First district, "are fighting the
administration because they are
fighting Cannon."
and believe any other town that
adopts it will have reason to feel the
same way, unless a set of irresponsi-
ble and dishonest officials are chosen
to NOT enforce the laws.
The Eagle positively refuses to get
excited over the democratic hue and
cry about Judge Garber's resigna-
tion. It will make no difference to
Garber's congressional candidacy
whether he resigns now or waits
three months. But it might make
some difference to the taxpayers and
litigants.
The opulent packet, as he
contemplates the meat boycott, con-
soles himself with fhe thought that
dead elephants and mammoths of the
glacial period have been perfectly
preserved even until our own time by
being frozen In blocks of Ice. The
packers' refrigerating rooms are full,
but the meat will keep.
Oh, well, If the price'of pork and
beef goes lower than the farmer
thinks it ought to and he doesn't
consider he is getting a fair figure
for his products, he can organize a
boycott, quit bringing his cattle and
hogs to market, and the price will
soon go back up again.
A political party gains or loses
standing with the people largely ac-
cording to the character and ability
of its candidates. A majority of the
voters of any state, outside the solid
south, are independent to the extent
of refusing to vote for undesirable
candidates on their party tickets.
Every strong man on a party ticket
adds strength to the balance of the
ticket, and every undesirable candi-
date weakens the ticket. The great
army of independent voters who con-
trol so many elections look upon po-
litical parties as conrete propositions,
judging them largely by the kind of
men they seek to put in office.
Oklahoma City is having a hard
time getting a new charter adopted
which will give the town commission
government. The trouble with Okla-
homa City is that It has grown so
fast that the people are not well ac-
quainted with each other and the
grafter has a splendid field in which
to do his work. Enid Is thoroughly
satisfied with its new government
While excavating for the paving
on East Broadway the Warner-Quin-
lan company dug up a half dollar.
Doubtless the man who placed it
there followed the well proved ad-
vice, "Put your money In Enid real
estate."
Latest reports from Guthrie are to
the effect that the state administra-
tion will be able to get through
until grass comes on about half a
million dollars.
This winter weather is about the
finest to be found anywhere in the
United States at this period of the
year.
If somebody doesn't corner the
rice market the poor man will still be
able to buy enough wholesome food
to keep in working condition.
Some still insist that the comet ap-
pearing in this region is the identi-
cal Halley's. Maybe so. If not, it is
a brilliant rival.
Now watch the First district post-
master brigade climb Dick Morgan's

traps 1 do not need; he sells
me books no man would read;
he sold a combination fork
which drives a nail or pulls
a cork, with which, he said,
a man might shave, or shine
his shoes, or dig a grave. He

paying hard-earned cash for
patent lamps or other trash;
for music racks that are no
good; for toilet soap that's
made of wood; for dentifrice
that doesn't dent, for foun-
tain pens not worth a cent;
forevermore I'm being stung
by agents with the serpent's
tongue. Each time I'm stung
I vow a vow; "I'm done
with agents now; I'll buy my
doodads at the store, and
chain old Towser by the door,
and if an agent should ar-
rive, he will not leave the
place alive." Alas! There is
no dodging fate! He's laying
for me at the gate; at my ap-
proach he will produce " The

book, "The Voyages of Dr.

should be sprung—the agent

The Board of Directors has appropriated for
the regular Dividends payable in 1910 the sum of
$2,87(i.o0t).H3. This sum is $272,785.81 larger than
the corresponding appropriation for 1909. In ad-
dition to the appropriation for the regular divi-
dend of 1910 the Directors have set aside the sum
of $67i>.0C0 for a special Dividend payable to all
participating policies which were in force Decem-
ber 31, 190!I. In case of Premium Paying Policies
the Special Dividend will be credited in reduction
of the premiums falling due in 1910. In case of
other policies the Special Dividend will be paid
in cash.
The Company's annual statement for the year
1909 now in course of preparation will show the
Company to be in a most prosperous condition,
and it is a matter of ereat satisfaction to the man-
agement that after computing the Dividends for
1910 upon an increased scale it is still in a posi-
tion to pay the above special Dividend.
