VOTE YES, TO REPEAL 12-A AND SAVE OUR SCHOOLS
Tw,i voars airu the people of Oklahoma voted to place soi ■
tion 12-A in the state institution. The affirmative vote or.
this proposition came largely from school districts that would
have been made almost bankrupt had the section been self oper-
ating. They voted through ignorance of the subiect. _ How-
ever. the courts held that 12-A needed vitalizati<>n before it
became effective. ...... , ,
Then campbell Resell the lather ol the legis ation sought
tu initiate a bill to niaKe it eitective and in this bill placed
inker providing that ten per cent of all money gained by school
districts under this bill should go to him. He admitted he would
profit 56o.ono.oii if the hill became a law. This explains hi.*
activitv. However, the people of Oklahoma were too wise foi
the ' Weasel from Warner" and he failed to obtain enough
votes to initiate his measure. ......
In the meantime an organization of school otticials known
as the Oklahoma School Taf League organized to fight for the
repeal of vicious 12-A. Fhey have a bill up which will bi
voted "ti at the coming primarv to repeal this section and should
it carry'Ru.-el! and his self gaining legislation will be buried
forever. ., ...
Section 12-A seeks to take the school taxes paia by publu
service corporations, place them on a common fund and distri-
bute them throughout the state on a per capital basis regardles,-
of where the taxes are paid or originate.
It is a well established fact that the centers of population
in this as well as other states are upon lines of railway, the
very development and location of which has occasioned th(
creation and growth of communities into towns and cities. A-
a natural consequence of this situation there has been placet
upon school districts through which railroads run. an addei
burden in the way of additional enrollment of pupils who art
entitled to eniov "all the school facilities provided by the stau
and districts and since the districts along the railroads an
charged with this additional burden it would be extremely un-
just to deny them the benefit of taxes laid upon railroad prop
erties. This is just what 12-A seeks to do and it is dangero^
legislation, because of public service taxes can be so diverted
on other lines of business to the detriment of the community
which has been alive and awake to its opportunities.
If 12-A should become effective, and it will unless re-
pealed at this coming election, it will mean that hundreds ol
school districts will be unable to operate schools as the law
limits the school "tax to 15 mills and without an additional tax
if public service taxes are taken away, many schools, yes hun-
dreds, will close their doors next year.
Cast a vote for the repeal of 12-A and aid the growth ol
public education in Oklahoma. It is preparedness of the high-
est order backed by real patriotism to insure the education ol
the boys and girls "of Oklahoma. Section 12-A and Campbell
Russell are parasites that deserve to be squelched forever.

One of the squibs in the muckrake circular that Kidd is
distributing over this territory, reads as follows i
"Look at the gang behind Carter in Pittsburg county; size
up the gentlemen behind me. and if you care to run with that
bunch. I don't want your vote. I'm against gangsters and
ringsters."
What gets our goat is for a nincompoop like Kidd to come
over here and undertake to dictate to the intelligent people of
this town and county how to cast their vote.

tion \, i, applying to ease of partial and permanent disability,
but not to i'a-iis where thr injuries resulted in death. On ac-
count of certain provision?- ot the constitution of this state, the
Act could not be made to apply in cases where death resulted.
This act seems to have given satisfaction both to the em-
ployer ami employee. This amendment should have the sup-
port. not only of the employee, but also the employer, for it is
essential for this amendment to be adopted, if we are to have a
well rounded and complete Workmen's Compensation Act. ap-
plying to every clast- of in ury. including that which results in
death.
The Oklahoma Federationist which is the official organ of
the Oklahoma State Federation of Labor, in its issue of July 15.
contains an editorial urging the members of the Federation of
Labor and all working men to support this amendment and to
endeavor to bring about its adoption at the election to be held
on August 1. 1916. This amendment should also have the sup-
port of all manufacturers and employers of every character.
Workmen's Compensation acts are now in force in a majority of
the states of the Union. None have ever repealed, but year by
year new states are joining the column in the enacting of Work-
men's Compensation acts. This amendment should be adopted
not only in the interest of sound business principles, but also
in the name of humanity.—From Governor Williams' speech at
Doxev.
O
The erratic young smart alec that perpetrates the Poteau
News upon a defenseless public, has been over in this territory
the past few days slinging slime against Congressman Carter,
with the evident intention of injuring him in his race for con-
gress to succeed himself. Mr. Carter's record is the best evi-
dence of his achievements, and really needs no defense, and
the people of this district who have followed his course in
congress feel that they owe him a debt of honor for his faithful
devotion to duty. Even now while the enemy is sowing tares
and telling all manner of lies on Carter, he remains at his post
of duty in Washington, attending to the people's business. And
Hartshorne has not yet forgot the service Mr. Carter rendered
this town in the matter of the reappraisement which amounted
to a reduction to our people of some $75,000: nor will they bt
misled by the trail of the skunk whose only weapon is the
stink he raises, but when they go to the polls to vote on next
Tuesday they wi'l register their approval of the stewardship of
Charley Carter . ith their endorsement of his official acts, be-
cause he has rendered the service and is therefore entitled to
the praise.
O
It is to be regretted that there are men who will stoop to
questionable means to encompass the defeat of a candidate foi
office, such as find expression in scandalous circulars sowed
broad-cast over the county. Men ought to have too much self-
respect to instigate such underhanded means, and one can but
pity the aiders and abettors who circulated the stuff. All ol
which goes to prove that the character assassin is stalking
abroad and never hesitate to do his worst. No deed is so base
and ignoble as that which would rob a man of his good name.
All eleventh hour campaign literature which reflects upon the
character or standing of a man should receive the stamp of un-
qualified condemnation, for ninety-nine times out of a hundred
it is a falsehood against which the accused has no chance to
defend himself.
O
The idea of a chuckle-headed editor of a jim crow sheet in a
cross-road town trying to mislead people into believing that he
is congressional timber! No wonder he complains that the
voters of this congressional district treat his candidacy as a
ioke. Robert L. Kidd of the Poteau News might qualify for
justice of the peace of his bailiwick, but the discovery that he
is capacitated for as important a place as congressman must
have been suggested to him by the office cat. for most assuredly
the people of his home town do not regard his expression ol
gall more seriouslv than we do.
O
The operators and miners have thrashed out their differ-
ences and have arrived at an amicable agreement, which sweeps
away any possibility of industrial troubles in this region; the
bucket brigade is being augumented by the opening up of the
Choctaw Portland Cement plant, and thousands of dollars will
soon begin to find their way into the channels of trade through
the Indian payment now in progress of distribution, in fact
everything tends to give rise to the optimistic view. The grouch
will have to pass us up for more congenial quarters.
O
The candidates will soon be thinned down to a stand, and
the voyage up salt creek will not be a lonely one. for the big-
gest crov d is headed that way. even tho each one is confident
in his belief that the other fellow will be the victim. It is the
| hope that springs eternal in the human breast which spurs us
on to action.

BACKACHE IS A WARNING.
Hartshorne People Should Not Neg-
lect Their Kidneys.
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 ar.d are especially for
weak kidneys. Doar.'s have been used
in kidney trouble for over 50 years.
Here is convincing proof of merit. It
comes from this locality.
Mrs. Ellen Easlev. Wilburton,
Okla., says: "I had a dull, heavy
ache in my hips and the kidney ac-
tion was irregular. I 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."
OYER THREE YEARS LATER.
Mrs. Easley said: "The benefit I re-
ceived from Doan's Kidney Pills ha.<
remained permanent." 30-t2.
To meet the increasing demand
for women to run automobiles there
have been opened in London several
schools where the women are taught
to run the machines and also to be
able to take the engine apart if ne-
cessary.
Women Army Cocks.
Five hundred more women have
been accepted by the British war of-
fice as army cooks, and will soon be
?ent to the front to join 1500 others
who have been satisfying Tommy's
, „ , , . , , appetite. These women wear khaki
duty you owe to yourself and your country, but will be assured j and ljve in camps and barracks If
I of electing the best
r.d most efficient officers.

There are thousands who will drop a tear of sorrow and re-
! gret because of the passing of James Whitcomb Riley, the
hoosier poet. Riley is said t^ have been peculiarly sensitive
as to the advance of age. and evaded inquiries as to the date of
hL< birth, but the most accurate information available indicates
that he was born in 1S48.
O
In the general political mix-up do not neglect your duty
to the schools. Vote "yes." to repeal Campbell Russell's l.-A
initiative petition. Our school district would sustain serious an-
nual loss if this measure should carry. It is your patriotic duty
to sw at it good and strong.
O
We were just wondering if it would not strain the capacity
of Kidd to clean up his own bailiwick before essaying to tackle
the job in that of another.
the country needs these women in its
time of stress it ought to recognize
them in its privileges and councils.
Somehow or other nobody laughs
at the grammar a millionaire uses.
There's a Difference
In Building Lumber
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-
posure probably could not be used
throughout a house because of
prohibitive price.
We've a wood for every purpose
and the price is right. Let us show
