Leslie Nlblack, with his Guthrie
Leader, having been the official or-
gan of that constitutional conven-
tion. and of the Oklahoma State Leg-
islature, with all of its promises of
economy does not purpose to go as
deeply In debt as Frank Greer is re-
ported to be in h s desire to save
money for the tax-paj rs of the state,
even if his reputation and the repu-
tation of the state administration
must suffer. Here is the story which
is printed in the Oklahoma News:
The contract of 1/ slie G. Nlblack,
editor and owner of the Guthrie
Leader, recently presented to state
printer Clint Worral, in which Nlb-
lack sets forth the prices which he
wants to charge the sta:e for its
printing, will, If endorsed by Worral
and accepted by state officials, per-
mit one of the most flagrant print-
ing grafts set on foot to any slate.
Under this contract, as submitted,
it will ibe possible for an expert to
adhere to the rates as quoted, and
charge the state at least 10 or 12
times the price pai'd by the ordinary
business man for job printing.
Nlblack is now printing the bills
as used by members of the house and
senate. in the contract which he
submitted are contained the. rates
which he asks the state to allow him
for the work.
First he asks 60c a thousand
"ems" for compositlpn, with an ad-
ditional 5 cents for proof reading.
Business men of Guthrie and Okla-
homa City get this same work from
commercial printiug .offices at never
to exceed 35 cents and many times
lor less.
Dut were 'this merely a double
(Tharge on the ordinary rate, poor
general public should content him-
self, smile ami accent congratulations
tor getting off so easy.
There is yet a more mighty Joker
in the desired contract.
It's In measuring the composition
that the state treasury would suffer
The reading matter' of the bill is set
in 10 point type, 24 ems or four inch
e« wide. When printed there are
but 18 lines on a page 10 Inches
long, and the average may not ex-
ceed 14 to the page. This leaves
most of the page white space.
The type IS around five hundred
ems actual measurement, but when
an expert gets hold of the bill to
measure composition, uses a rule set
to measuring 8 point instead of 10
point, and measures the entire sur-
face page of the bill, Instead of the
face of the type, his figures will show
8 times as much as is really there.
The third joker in the bill is the
rate quoted for folding.
For one fold, or doubling a 4-page
bill, one-half cent apiece, is the rate.
A cheap girl, whom Nlblack pays
$4.50 a week, or 75c a day, will fold
over 4,000 of these a day. He will
have a profit on her day's work of
About |20.
As the number of pages Increases,
the price jumps by one and two cents
a fold until a 32-page bill will cost
over $18 for folding a supply for
the legislature.
Thus the contract has three Jok-
ers when compared with the rates
charged by Job printing companies,

"The Leper Healed."
This was the subject of a strong
practical sermoui delivered by the
Rev. Mr. Grainger of the Episcopal
church yesterday morning. The
touching, tender faith of the suf-
ferer and its beautiful reward made
a picturesque background for the
noble and sympathetic discourse. In
the vining, Mr. Grainger spoke on
St. John's words, "I must decrease,
but He will increase."
