VOTE AGAINST BILL TO VITALIZE 12-A.
The schools of Oklahoma versus Campbell Russell. '1 hat is
the title uf the contest that will be settled by the votes ot the
,HM,.-le on Autust 1. when Russell's initiated bill to vitalize
section 12-a of the constitution comes up for a u>te. At thi
same lime the measure of the schools of the state to finally re-
neal section 12-a will also be voted on.
Russell in his greed for power and incidentally money, is
stumping the state and sending forth broadcast, misleading
statistics in a forlorn effort to bolster up his failing cause. Rus-
sell can afford to stump the state because if his bill is passed he
will receive some $00,000 in fees which his bill legalizes, to be
paid bv the school districts that will be benefited under the
terms of the bill. Not only that but Russell is already making
his campaign on State money, having borrowed from the state
school land funds, the necessary funds. Thus we have tin-
state putting up money for Russel to use in tearing down tin
school svstem and to use in filling his pocket book at the ex-
pense of the taxpayers of the state. He may be legally right
in this but certainlv the school land funds were meant to be
used in building up the farms of the state and not to tear down
the school system.
Under the law the school districts of the state are not
allowed. Russell says, to spend school district money to defeat
the bill which will! if carried, cut their revenue of those dis-
tricts in some instances 50 per cent. Russell is shrewd and also
unscrupulous. He has seen to it that he will be remunerated
financially for his time and trouble, the pay to come from the
pocket books of the taxpayers.
On the other hand should Russell win he threatens that lie
will at once initiate another bill, this one aimed at the oil in-
dustry of the state, making that industry pay a five per cent
production tax. which if successful would drive from the state
the largest factor that has aided in the building up of the great-
est industry in the southwest.
Voters should remember August 1 to go to the polls and
vote "No" on Russell's bill to vitalize section 12-a.
And don't forget to vote "Yes" on the bill to repeal section
12-a which will be headed as follows:
Initiative Petition No. 56. State question No. 83.
The gist of this proposition is to repeal Section 12-a ot
Article 10 of the Constitution, which section provides that all
taxes collected for the maintenance of the common schools ot
the state and which are levied upon the property of any public
service corporation, operating in more than one county in the
state, shall be paid into the common school fund and distribut-
ed as are other common school funds of the state.
Shall it be adopted—(Vote Yes)

The Sun is pleased to see Major Chas. F. Barrett back on
the job as manager of the Oklahoma Press Bureau. Uncle
Sam'decided that Major Barrett was too light a weight for a
soldier, but the democracy of Oklahoma recognizes in him a
heavy weight when it comes to wielding the pen. So he can
console himself that "the pen is mightier than the sword."
anyway. We are not sorry you are back at your post again,

their business'.' Kansas being a prohibition state of many years
standing, is made the target for many of the liquor dealers'
darts in an effort to discredit the law. but listen to what Gov-
ernor Capper said, when on last January. Kansas paid off the
remainder of its bonded indebtedness and publicly burned its
cancelled bonds:
Our per capita wealth of $1,6.'50 is greater than that ot any
other State and twice as high as that of the United States as a
whole. It gives us a total of $2,884,624,600 of taxable wealth,
an increase of $79,000,000 the past year, and enables us to
maintain a State tax rate of $1.25 on a thousand, lower than
that of any other State, with one exception. Our bank deposits
of $224.110.576 are the largest per capita of any State, an in-
crease of $2:1.00(1.000 in the year 1015. Our 74.000 automo-
biles give us one car to every sixth family, a record equaled by
only two other States. One family out of every five has a
telephone, the largest percentage of any State. Our farm pro-
ducts in 1915 were $341,561,000. Our live stock is valued at
$310,655,000. We produced $325,000,000 of manufactured
products in 1915.
Now. on the dead square, hasn't prohibition been a great
calamitv to Kansas!

In another place in today's Sun will be seen a letter from
Congressman Chas. I). Carter, addressed to his constituents of
the third congressional district in which he gives an account of
his stewardship. Read it; these are facts of record which speak
for themselves, and no one but a rank ingrade would seek to
take from him the credit that is due for service rendered. His
record is the best evidence of duty well performed. It meets
the unqualified endorsement of the people, who will send him
back to congress to continue his usefulness, as an expression of
their appreciation of his untireing efforts in their behalf. Mr.
Carter is at this time on the job in Washington looking after
the people's business there, and it is a foregone conclusion that
the people of his district will look after his business here when
the election day rolls around, the bickerings of the belly-
achers to the contrary notwithstanding, for the man who wins
the spurs should wear them. This principle is as old as the
eternal hills and as enduring as the principles of right and
justice.

BEYOND THE RIO GRANDE.
I For thirty-five years Porfirio Diaz ruled Mexico, nominally
as president, an emperor in fact. He was accounted one of
the world's greatest men. It was less than ten years ago that
Theodore Roosevelt, authority on all things decreed Diaz the
statesman of the age. More recently than that Mr. Taft saluted
Don Porfirio across the border in a handclasp of presidential
fellowship. But Diaz lived to see his dynasty topple, his glory
vanish, and from the gloom of exile, to observe a stern verdict
becloud his place in history.
Today the Mexican hates Uncle Sam and all things
American! He distrusts us. All our forbearance has been
cowardice. All our professions of good will are lies. So thinks
the impoverished, illiterate Mexican. And why not? \\ hat
has he known of government except a merciless force that has
kept him in bondage ? What of law except the rod of power j
plied by the strong on the back of the weak? What oT justice
except an empty cruel mockery?
He is without ideals, without character. He uses the white
flag of truce to decov Americans into ambush, and a sacrilege
which manv a savage tribe would scorn to resort to is to him ;i
piece of strategy. Such is Mexico after the "gun and saber
rule of Diaz. . , , . ,, , . ,

The most attractive cement sack we have seen to date is
that of the Choctaw Portland Cement Co of Hartshorne. In
the center of the sack is prir.ted 111 colors the head of an Ameri-
can Indian, encircled by the words. "The Choctaw Portland
Cement Co.. Hartshorne, Okla." Red and blue ink are used
and the sack being of pure white, completes the patriotic color
scheme—red, white and blue. The honor of creating this de-
sign is given to Mike Kupetz. our little Russian artist, who has
been reared in Hartshorne. Mike is young in years but his
talent and cleverness is spreading abroad, and we predict that
he will give a good account of himself in future. It is now a
question of but few davs when the manufacture of cement will
be begun, and the big plant will start grinding at a capacity ot
1500 sacks dailv. This bids fair to become the best advertise-
ment Hartshorne ever had. as there will appear on every sack
shipped out from here "Hartshorne, Okla. Hip, hip, hurrah.
and a agn shrdl etao shrd etao shr eta shr eta shrdl etao shrdshi
and again thrice hurrah for Hartshorne and the Choctaw

W. P. Hill announces his resignation from the presidency
of the Western Association. He has made good at considerable
sacrifice to his personal affairs. The honor of the presidency
of the league goes to J. W. Bell of Paris. Texas. Mr. Hill has
tried several times to resign, but each time the appeal to him
to stick was so overwhelming that he deferred final action till
he had budded up a fine organization.
Cato Sells insists that the lid must be clamped down good
and strong on the booze during the progress of the Indian pay.
Anv violation of these instructions will be sufficient cause to
stop the further progress of the pay. Pittsburg county officials
have pledged their co-operation in the strictest enforcement ol
the prohibition law .
Mexico's area in round numbers is 767 000 square miles,
with a population of 16.000.000. while that of the United[States
is upwards of 3.000.000 with a population of 100,000,000
Quite a difference, don't you see. \\ e could stampede and
kill all the Mexicans.

Not alone in price, but also quality
and durability. While some woods
are tough and strong they are not
suited to exposure to the elements,
and other woods that will stand ex-

throughout a house because of
prohibitive price.
We've a wood for every purpose

Hartshorne People Should Not Neg-
lect Their Kidney*.
Backache is often nature's most
frequent signal of weakened kidneys.
To relieve the pains and aches, to re-
move the lameness when it arises
from weakened kidneys, you must
reach the cause—the kidneys. If you
have .pain through the small of your
back, urinary disorders, headaches,
dizzy spells, or are nervous and de-
pressed, start treating the kidneys
with a tested kidney remedy.
Doan's Kidney Pills have been
proved good and are especially for
weak kidneys. Doan's have been used
in kidney trouble for over 50 years.
Here is convincing proof of merit. It
comes from this locality.
Mrs. Ellen Easley, Wilburton,
Okla., says: "I had a dull, heavy
ache in my hips and the kidney ac-
tion was irregular. 1 also had dizzy
headaches. Doan's Kidney Pills
brought me relief from the first and
in about a month every symptom of
the trouble had left."
OVER THREE YEARS LATER,
Mis, Easley said: "The benefit I re-
ceived from Doan's Kidney Pills has
remained permanent." ,50-t2.

Women Army Cook*.
Five hundred more women have
been accepted by the British war of-
fice as army cooks, and will soon be
sent to the front to join 1500 others
who have been satisfying Tommy's
appetite. These women wear khaki,
and live in camps and barracks. If
the country needs these women in its
time of stress it ought to recognize
them in its privileges and councils.

Biliousness and Stomach Trouble.
"Two years ago I suffered from
frequent attacks of stomach trouble
and biliousness." write Miss Emma
Verbryke, Lima. Ohio. "I could eat
very little food that agreed with me
and I became so dizzy and sick at my
stomach at times that I had to take
hold of something to keep from fall-
ing. Seeing Chamberlain's Tablets
advertised I decided to try them. 1
