Election Questions
The official pamphlet required by
the initiative and referendum law
covering the questions to be voted
upon by the people of thestate at the
general election this fall is now being
sent out by the state election board to
the election officers of the various
precincts One of the pamphlets
will be given to each voter who votes
at the primary for his perusal between
that date and the general election
Five questions will be voted on as
follow The dispensary system
'I orrens land ’ system amendment
to the constitution regarding capital
removal "New Jernsalem” capital
scheme and sale of the school land
The school land proposition is initi-
ated and all of the others are referred
to the people by the legislature
Only the arguments in favor of the
propositions submitted are printed in
the pamphlet which gives an immense
advantage to the friends of the various
measures proposed Neither of the
capital propositions settles the matter
finally One would amend the con-
stitution so that the capital could be
moved before 191 3 it desired and the
other gets an expression from the peo-
ple on the plan for creating an ideal
capital

Mr and Mrs James W Cooper
of cast of town were pleasant callers
at the Star office on Monday last
Mrs Cooper is the owner of an extra
large mad stone which was exhibited
to the office force and a number of
visitors This stone which is an
extra large specimen of that curious
formation known as mad stones has
been in the family for a number of
years she receiving the same from
her father Mrs Cooper desires to in-
form the public through the columns
of the press that this stone is at the
disposal of one and all in case of bites
from rabid animal They reside ab-
out six ‘miles east of Cheyenne and

Fight Is Called Off
Guthrie Okla July 25— Erick has
called oil its light against Sayre for
the county seat of Beckham county
and a message was received here to-
day asking that its suit in the supreme
court be dismissed Sayre won at
the election by a very narrow margin
but now seems to have the matter
clinched
Very True
An exchange says: "If some day
the newspaper man should print the
contents of his waste basket -there
would probably be a riot There cer-
tainly would be trouble all round But
the patron never sees the waste bas-
ket He glances at the beautiful
printed pages complains if one letter
in fifty is upside down growls his
disappointment if one name in five
hundred has happened to go wrong
kicks because his communication
signed "Tax Payer” was condensed
into respectable English frowns
because the editor didn’t take
his advice about publicity in
warning his neighbor against throw-
ing his melon in the alley and is gen-
erally disgrunteled not so much at
what he finds as what he fails to find
He knows his share of the waste
basket but if he could have one lxk
at the contributions made to that re-
ceptacle by his neigbors and friends
he would thank God for the existance
of a man with sufficient intelligence
and courage not to print all he knows
and to temper that which he does
print"
A dog sat out in midnight chill and
howled at the beaming moon his
knowledge of music was strictly nil
and his voice was out of tune And
he howled and howled as the hours
w-ent by while dodging the bricks we
threw till the moon was low in the
western sky and his voice had split in
two And there wasn’t a thing at
which to howl over whkh a fool pup
should weep and the course of that
dog was wrong and foul for people
were wild to sleep There are plenty
of men like that hound who yell
when the-e's nothing wrong disturb-
ing the country with senseless sound

Mason
No decision of any court shall hurt
the party as long as President Roose-
velt can prevent it— Dallas News
A prohibition agitation in Florida
appears inevitable unless many of the
state senators and representatives vio-
late an obligation made in the recent
campaign and go back also on decla-
rations publicly made since the prima-
ry which was held last month The
constitution ot Florida provides for
local option and prohibition is im-
possible unless the cons’itution is
amended by a majority of the votes of
the people The prohibitionists are
confident that if the question comes to
a vote they will carry the state by a
big majority
And now a son of General Sher-
man ‘declares that his father never
useJ the phrase "War is hell”
What he did say is declared to have
been "War is cruelty and you can-
not refine it” We prefer however
to stick to the old version it is
so much more expressive remarks

Governor Haskell has asked the
federal court to dismiss the suits in-
stituted by Attorney General West
to compel tbe Prairie Oil and Gas
company to domesticate before build-
ing additional pipe lines in Oklahonu
The governor holds that West had
no pow er to file such suits w ithout
first having obtained consent from
him Governor Haskell also seeks dis-
missal of the suits for the reason
that he had already promised the
company that it would be allowed to
lay the lines and the filing of the
suits makes it look as though he was
trying to give them the double cross

turned yesterday from Ellis county

It has been the practice in the past
for all parties who had dead animals
on their premises or on the streets or
alleys of the town to have the same
hauled off east of the town site and
left there to decompose and perfume
the surrounding air This is all wrong
There is a Ijw which compels the
owner to bury all dead auimals and
some one is going up against that law
unless this practice is stopped

and if the streets and alleys of the
town are not placed in a more sanit-
ary condition the town is going to
suffer from an epidemic Clean up
your premises and see that the streets
and alleys are in the same condition
