The band boys presented their lead,
er,/ Dr. Nauman, with a fifty-dollar
- horn last week. To say that the doc-
tor appreciates the gift is putting it
rather mild.
Ed Bryant, of Pawhuska, was over
Tuesday collecting rents and looking
after other business. Ed is running a
barber shop at Pawhuska, but we un-
derstand he is figuring on moving it
back to Ralston.
Mr. and Mrs. Will McFadden wish
to express their thanks through the
Exponent to those who so kindly as-
sisted them during the sickness and
death of their dear little baby.
The wives and sweethearts ot the
band boys gave them an ice cream
social last Sunday afternoon. Ice
cream and cake were the principal
luxuries on the^bill of fare and every-
body had a good time.
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.
The town council and township
board met in joint session Monday
morning in the back room of L. F.
Baker's store.
The purpose of the meeting was to
decide on some plan to ditch the main
road running south from Ralston to pre
vent the flooding of the south part of
town. It was agreed to dig a deep
ditch on the eas\; side of the main
road and carry the water north to the
river. The road will be graded and
the necessary stone culverts will be
built. The work will be done with
road grader and traction engine. The
work will be under the general super
vision of Mr. Henry, one of the town-
ship overseers. The road leading to
a the bridge will also receive attention.
The culvert at the foot of Main
street will be filled and made three
feet higher and wider and will be sup
ported on all sides by retaining walls.
This is a much need improvement and
those living in the southeast part of
town will now have cause for rejoic
ing.
It is the intention of the council to
join in with the township and render
what he%) thev can toward the im-
provement ot all roads leading into
Ralston.
Oklahoma needs factories to de-
velop her resources and make a mar-
ket for farm products. There is no
reason why the Oklahoma farmer
with coal, gas and oil at his door,
should be compelled to send his cot-
ton and other farm products to New
Fngland to find a market and then af-
ter it is manufactured send it back
to him, paying his freight both ways.
We need to build home markets, but
the many fool laws of the last legis-
lature shuts out capital and prevents
the development of our state.

WILL HA8KGLL SUBMIT IT?
Will Haskell "put it up to Bryan"
or stand firm that the constitution of
Oklahoma is null and void? Bryan is
a great admirer of Haskell. Haskell
is a devoted slave of Bryan. Bryan
has said the constitution of Oklaho-
ma was better than the constitution
of the United States. Haskell wrote
the constitution. He said "No oil
pipe line shall be entitled to the right
of eminent domain in this state until
it shall have become a corporate
body." The peoule by their vote ac-
cepted the constitution. But Haskell
says now that the Prairie Oil and Gas
Co., has the right' to exercise the
right ot eminent detnain, and has or-
dered the* attorney-general of the
state to withdraw hissuit against that
corporation. In short, Haskell says
the constitution "don't go" in this in-
stance. He contends that the Prairie
company has a right to cross the Kan-
sas border. The Times says it has not
that right. We are willing to submit
it to Bryan and abide his decision.
He says the constitution is the best
in the world, let hiin interpret the
meaning as applied in this case. Will
Haskell dare submit it to Bryau. If
he doesn't, he admits he is wrong and
the Times is right.—Oklahoma City
Times.
The union labor leaders are demand
ing of the democrats that they favor
the absolute prohibition of injnnction
procedure in the case of labor dis-
putes. They are willing it should ap-
ply in all other cases, but when union
labor wants to blockade streets, hold
up trains and tear up the track, the
courts must be powerless to inter-
fere. Nearly every class look at the
injunction in the same way When it
restrains other lawbreakers we re-
gard the injunction as an inalienable
function of the court; but when it
puts restraint upon our own acts, then
we are ready to denounce "govern-
ment by injunction."—Jewell County
Kan., Republican.
