NORMAL SCHOOL CLOSES
ANOTHR GOOD YEAR.
With the graduating exer-
cises Wednesday the closing
event of the twelfth annual
commencement of the Normal
came to a close. Twenty-six
graduates received diplomas.
Ttie school year just closed
has been one, of the most
profitable in the history of the
institution and has excelled all
records from the point of at-
tendance.
The work of the past year
has been thorough and pains-
taking and the students who
were graduated Wednesday are
well equipped for the battle of
life, so far as mental training
is concerned.
Each year the partings after
commencement exercises have
been tinged with a certain de-
grae oi sadness, for the reason
students and teachers, associ
ated together for years, bid
adieu to each other, with the
full understanding that here-
after the course of their lives
must follow differrnt pathways
and perchance some may never
meet again. But this year the
parting had even a deeper
significance, as many of the old
teachers, who have been labor-
ing so faithfully with the class
of 1908 during its entire course
in this school also go out of
the institution and in after
years, when the members of
the class of 1908 and other
previous classes, return to tht r
alma mater, they will not enjoy
the kindly greeting of their old
instructors.
prise editor remarks that The
fenn is a Bellamy organ he is
talking through his hat. This
paper is the political organ of
no man or set of men. We
may see fit to praise or con-
dem according to the acts of
our public officers, but weun it
comes to being the organ or
mouthpiece of any man in pub-
lic office we stand from under.
Because the Enteprise has tak-
en up Johnson and is breaking
lances in his behalf, we could
with as much consistency say it
is a Johnson organ.
"And speaking of Johnson,
Mr. Enterprise man, we want
you to come out in the day-
light with his record at Guth-
rie. Print it and let the peo-
ple know.
"And further: When the
democracy of Canadian county
wants the Edmond Enterprise
or any other Oklahoma county
newspaper to step in and inter-
fere with our political affairs,
we will let you know. It's bad
taste Gould, but maybe you
can't help acting the goat.
"And again it may be that
because one Gould once helped
to wreck the fortunes of a dem-
ocratic newspaper at El Reno
he assumes he has a right to
stick his finger into our politi-
cal pie.
"Better back up Gould.
CLOSE OF NOKMAL SCHOOL.
(Continued from first page)
that in an atmosphere so large could
exist a set of men so small of con-
ception and so mean of intellectual
statue as to permit political influences
to sway their judgment.
"If this nation deems the handlingof
a two-cent letter or a third-class
package of dry goods of sulflcent im
portance to its welfare to take the ap-
pointment of its employes entirely out
of political influence, must it not be a
disgrace that men and women handl-
ing not mail, but eternal minds and
constructing principles upon which
the life of the nation dermis, should
be left to the kawkings f f a petty po-
litical spirit. No language within
the bounds of dignity is sufflcent to
express the contempt of every right,
thinking citizen for such a condition.
And I warn the fair state of Oklaho-
ma that men intellectually fitted to
fill the chairs in her state institutions
are too princely to brook long such
petty dealing and that they will,
sooner or later, draw about them their
stately garb and depart from hei
borders. Men of strong heart and
great capacity will ever demand n
generous and intelligent treatment.''
A Californian's Luck.
The luckiest day of mv life was
when I bought a box of Aucklen's Ar-
nica Salve, ' writes Charles F. Buk-
ahn of Tracy, California. "Two 25c
boxes cured me of an annoying case
of itching piles, which had troubled
me for years and that yielded to no
other treatment." Sold under guar-
antee at City drug store.

HAD A GOOD TIME IN EL-
RENO.
W hila at EIReno attending
the meeting of the State Press
association, the editor was for-
tunate enough to fall in with
Editor Dailey of the Edmond
Sun and through him to get an
introduction to Prof. Blake of
the Edmond normal. This as-
sociation led to a most pleasur-
able hour on Saturday. Prof.
Blake was the guest while in
EIReno of his brother, C. U.
Blake, solicitor of the Rock
Island railway. Judge Blake
was giving the day his services
as chauffer and the u.-e < f his
new $3,200 automobile o the
pleasure of the editor guests.
It was our good fortune to be
invited to a seat with Brolher
Dailey and Prof. Blake for a
ride about the city. The hour
thus spent was one of much
pleasure and interest, as the
splendid machine noiselessly
whirled through the city, over
the suburban additons and
into the country several miles,
we got a view and impression
of EIReno that a week on foot
would not give. Such experi-
ences makes us still more deter-
mined to get heaven, for then
we may hope to have an auto-
mobile and ride about the
beautiful streets in good com-
pany.—Mulhall Enterprise.
