CREATES MORE OFFICES
Two years ago the legislature spent
a vast amount of time In the consid-
eration of a score of bills designed to
make changes In the department of
highways. After all the time that was
wasted there was nothing done. A.
K. Hall of Rogers county is the first
member of the next legislature to
come forward with a Mil for the com-
ing session. Mr. Hall would have the
htate highway commissioner ruthless-
ly thrown from his oflice and would
Install Into office in his stead a high-
way commissioner for each one of
the counties. He would have these
county highway commissioners sup-
ported out of the state license tax on
autos the clerk of the county would
collect the tax and keep ail auto II-
c nse money in the county where it is
collected. There are one or two coun-
ties in the state that do not have a car
in them these counties would do well
with a highway commissioner there
are other counties with ten machines
and they would do exceedingly well
with a highway commissioner sup-
ported by the license. There are still
other counties that have a hundred
machines and the tax would amount
to practically nothing In the way of
supporting a highway commissioner j
If Oklahoma Is In a mood to elimi-
nate one oflice and create seventy-seven
more then Mr. Kail may hope to
succeed. The Kali bill goes still fur-
ther in (he way of creating offices and
provides that a board shall be appoint-
ed whose duty It shall be to uppoint
the county highway commissioners.
Ixoks like every time some fellow
starts to tear up the state highway
department he has something much
poorer to offer What the state really
ought to do is to maintain its high-
way department and to clothe the of-
ce with some authority and fl" n
prlcu Hit1 lOilimlsHloner Is to receive
Tor his work and support the depart-
ment and give the hfllecr who holds
the place a chalice to do something
for the roads of the slate.
O
PRACTICAL ECONOMY.
K. K. Howard stale auditor-elect
has gone over the school budgets of
the state for the next year and has
reduced them already to the amount
of $60111100. No buildings will be con-
structed except when they are abso-
lutely necessary and all appropriations
nsked for which can be denied with-
out crippling the efficiency of the
schools will be eliminated. The work
which Mr. Howard Is doing is In keep-
ing with the economy of the entire
state at this time and the people will
appreciate his good work along that
line. Many crimes of waste have been
ooinmitteed in the name of educa-
tion but the people huve as much
right to economize in the operation
of schools ns they have to economize
with the rearing of their children in

the home. Mr. Howard said in hie
campaign over the state he saw worn
en picking cotton with their babies
sitting at the end of the row and when
people are working that way to get by
under the stress of the times caused
by the low price of cotton he feels
that the state departments should
help in everyway they can.
The office of state oil and gas in
spector Is also to be abolished. This
official looks after the oil and gas
leases on the public lands and by the
time his salary and expenses are paid
the slate expends about $S0o0 a year.
Heads of different departments will
look after the duties of this office
without an addition to any salaries.

GENEROUS LON FRAME
Ixm Frame the generous spirit we
always knew him to be has given to
the poor of the city of Oklahoma City j
a car ot coal l nat uoes not mean
a coal car with a little coal sufficient
to cover the bottom but it means a
coal car heaping full and running
over with the black nuggets of dia-
mond heat that will kill the frost
king in many homes of the poor dur-
ing the holidays. We knew Ixm Frame
in the early days of his history when
he counted it a full days' treat to pass
along the circus boards and enjoy the
pictures of elephants and the camels
and the two-headed calves with never
a thought of being able to buy a tick-
et of admission. We knew him when
lie wore the home-made cottonade
pants and the hickory shirt the hat
that went to seed in the crown adorn
ed his shapely head and now by dint
of exertion he is able to give to the
poor of the city a full car of coal. We
exult with him in his prosperity we
trust that he may be able to increase
the gilt to the poor every Christmas-
tide from now on as long as he may
live.

COST OF VICTORY
After four years of bitter conflict
the Colorado mine strike has been
settled. The main feature of the set-
tlement being a 10 per cent reduction
in wages.
It Is a victory for the operators
their gunmen their murderous mlli-
tia and their gang politics although
the unionists were probably vlse In If
calling off the strike.
Kut isn't this victory a good deal
like the victory of the Krltlsh at I
Hunker Hill? Surely it leaves in the
hearts of thousands of men more ha-
tred of the law more envy of the rich
more scorn of society more deter-
initiation to combat force with force
when u better opportunity arises.
Society does not strengthen Itself
by crushing men. Men's friendship is
not won by triumph of brute force.
Patriotism Is not prompted by vic-
tory over justice.
i olorado lias earned repute as
a .
commonwealth that cheapens men. It
is not good for a state that is young
and wants to prow. Tulsa Sun.
Lewis Oliver. In tlie slate of Michi-
gan stole n iiaui and was sent to the
penitentiary for life. In the year 19i4.
He has been paroled and will spend
the holidays at liberty unless he com-
mits burglary again before that time.
The case was heralded all over the
country lit that time and persons
who did not understand it. were severe
in their censure of the court. Kut
Oliver was sent up as a habitual crimi
nal. Three times had he been tried
and convicted of burglary. He had
probably committed burglary a half
hundred times. The man who enters
the home at a time when the family
sleeps will also kill members of a
family who show resistance. The man
who persists in this crime ought to
be put p. a place where he cannot
commit the crime of burglary and the
court that sent him does not deserve
to be censured.
General Scott has gone to the front
and that may mean that he has gone
to what will terminate in a battle
front. The disturbance at Naco may
lead this country to war with Mexico.
Those leaders are desperate the coun-
try has been nt war until the soldiers
' are desperate. They care little for
; themselves and nothing for others.
I There Is a chance yet for this conn-
try to be forced to take Mexico re-
j store pence and after establishing fair
. laws turn it back to a regularly elect-
I cd set of officials.

OIL LEASES
ARRAY OF LEGAL TALENT IN THE
DISTRICT COURT WILL BATTLE
FOR VALUABLE OIL LANDS IN
SECTION 5-43.
A suit will be tried in the district
court tomorrow. Involving some valu
able oil leases on 110 acres of land in
section 6-4-3 upon which two valua
ble wells are already in operation.
The style of the suit is the Marion
Oil Co. vs. W. G. Skelley and W. L.
Russell. In their petition plaintiffs
allege that there was an oral agree-
ment between themselves and defend-
ant to acquire oil and gas leases that
under this agreement they did acquire
the same each paying their prorata
part. They further allege that on or
about the first day of October 1913
defendant negotiated with the ward's
guardian for lands above located con-
sisting of Ho acres paying for the
same out of his personal funds that
plaintiffs asked him to accept one-
half payment for the same and assign
one half interest to them but that de-
fendant refused to do so. That some
time after this date he assigned to
W. I.. Kussell of Lima Ohio one-half
Interest in the above - mentioned
leases for one dollar and other valua-
ble considerations. The plaintiffs al-
lege that Skelly and Kussell were part-
ners in several other enterprises and
were closely identified in business. In
view of the fact that the plaintiff Skel-
ly refused and still refuses to comply
with the terms of his agreement plain-
tiffs ask that the court set aside and
declare for naught the assignment of
the said Skelly to Kussell and that
an injunction be made permanent from
operating the property

IN "THE MILL STREAM"
THEATORIUM SATURDAY.
Circumstantial evidence has st-nt
many an innocent man to the pillows
In Georgia a wealthy young manufae-
hirer lias been sentenced to suffer
j the extreme penalty of the law upon
j the doubtful testimony of a negro
I "witness." New York newspapers
recently tried condemned and sen-
j tenced to the electric chair a woman
j whom a jury had failed to convict
i upon the same evidence which had
been presented in column i.fter col
umn of misleading detail in the press.
Many a man if the truth were shown
has been "railroaded up the river"
because the jury "wanted to go home
and sleep.
"Kather let a thousand guilty men
go free than hang one innocent m:in"
is a golden rule but. infrequently fol-
lowed when vindiei iveness is per-
mitted to creep into a jury's Judg-
ments. Frequently when a case is
tried in the locality of the crime the
law fails of its object for the reason
that local prejudice1 only too often
lire-condemns the one to whom cir-
cumstantial evidence points.
George Lessey the Imp company's
master director and King Kacgot.
recently were discussing this phase
of the law. The Carmen case came
up for discussion and an eavesdrop-
per belligerently declared that the
defendant should be electrocuted.
"Go easy my friend." cautioned
King KaggiU. "Many a murderer is
walking the streets of New York
today while innocent men languish
in Sins Sing. All of us are human
and Juries being no exception to the
general rule often err."
llaggot then turned to Director
Lessey.
