HASKELL FOR PRESIDENT
Scoff if you like at the various
prognostications but one Charles N
Haskell first governor of Oklahoma
after statehood today a resident of
New York City is going to be a
mighty hard man to beat in the next
' ’’ ' Democratic "national convention for
the nomination of a president
i ' In -many of the far northeastern
and eastern states Haskell is being
considered and seriously considered
as the right man for the democrats
to follow through the next campaign
"Haskell for President Clubs” -have
been formed in several states in the
east and some of the most powerful
eastern Dtmocratic leaders are al-
ready lining up under the standard of
the former Oklahoman
So far Charlie Haskell has not fos-
tered his own campaign His hat is
still on' his head and not in the ring
He is taking things calm and easy
giving no indication of his intentions
But you need not doubt but that he
has both ears open and he is not blind
Down here in Oklahoma we are
prone to take the idea of one of our
' family ever being nominated for pres-
ident as a roaring joke and a sort of
Bop to cement us to the party but
to all who so believe there is coming
a revelation Today Charlie Haskell
is one of the financial powers of the
world’s financial center Today jie
is being consulted by the greatest fi
' nanciers and the brainiest leaders in
the commercial world '
' When Charlie Haskell went to New
York City he was just a reUben from
Oklahoma He had the brains and
one jof the greatest minds-ever pos-
sessed by a politician in : this or any
other country ' But he was out of
polities when he first hit New York
City- He was entering a new world
It took several years for him to hit
his stride He hit that stride and to-
i day he is rolling down the middle
of the track supported by thousands
of followers In finances Charlie
Haskell today directly controls per-
haps $100000000 worth of assets
The politics of Haskell were good
enough for Roosevelt' and they were
good enough for many of them to be
-adopted by both the Republican and
’Democratic parties
Charlie -Haskell may not- be the
'Democratic presidential nominee but
“he will come very near that if he
'wants it Today he isthe only stick
Nf presidential timber afloat on a
" "very choppy political sea and many
voters are hoping they will have the
- opportunity to anchor their crafts to
'Unu r-y ' vf ' ‘5 j)£ ' ’
Haskell willlaver be the greatest
- s of all Oklahomans qnd should he be
the nominee ' Of his party there will
be no reason' to wonder as to his pol-
V itics for he will be a purely unadulter-
ated Jeffersonian Democrat with a
thinker of his own and a loyalty for
party that defies time and tide to
break or wear away

- The American Legion Post at Med-
- ford Oregon recently protested ag-
ainst the replacement of American
laborers by Japanese on a large or-
chard near here

Frank R Jamison said a big thing
the other day when he told the Ama-
rillo Loyalty Club that-the greatest
policeman was not the man in the 'un-
iform with the brass" buttons on' his
coat a star for a badge and aclub in
his hand He told those1 fellows that
the Boy Scout Master was by far a
greater policeman than the officer in
uniform Why? Because the Scout
Master gets after’ the-boy 'before
they commit a crime and: keep them
from doing so by planning something
more interesting and mere1 profitable
and more enjoyable fob tb4 boys to do
than to get out ini tbt' dark and
commit some crime The-' business of
the police is to run down thfe boys1 af-
ter they have committed thaw primes
The business of the §copt Master ip to
keep the boys froip corp putting prim6
Get the idea? V?:1: -
If all the money epemt'o'n taea in -r-To
crush and punish them ! Lsi-’e
Were spent tn rearing better boys: 1
There’ d le no more bad men
And if there were jib more bad 'men '
There’d be no more -bad bdjrs
For boys are men in -embryo ‘ 1 -And
men are growniup boyaii-'
What do you suppose would happen
in pur nation in the next generation
of boys and men if 'eyetyr' city 'and
every county would spend as' much
trying to train boys for-lives of use-
fulness and trying tokeepthem from
committing crimes as the county 'Icity
and the state and fhe tiation apends
every year to catch and bring to trial
and punish our criminals? How many
paid officers do you haverin' your
county to look after- and- keep up
with your bad boys and wen?' How
many paid men are in your county
whose business is to help the people
solve their boy problems? Is there
a single man in -your county whose
sole business is thq development of
the lives of the boys in your county?
And if there is what do you-pay him
for it? ??
Now a lot of you are-saying -that
is the business of the home the school
and the church and I help support all
three Sure enough' j- But because
all three of these institutions have
this far i failed to sojye the Jioy prob-
lem — and they surely have or we
would not have tiie bpy problem’ on
our hands You are : palled :qpon' to
support a score ormpfeot pter in-
stitutions to run down drag in coni
vict and then feed and 'house and
clothe’ several thousand criminals ev-
ery year of your life providing you
have saved any tiling to" pay taxes on

has never been 'taught ‘to’ make an
honest living teach’ 'his' boy how to do
it? ‘
- Jr CO’ '
How can a church that iieyer sees
more than one-tenth of the boys of
this nation any time during their ad-
olescent years and sees that tenth for
only one short hour on Sunday ever
solve the boy problem Almost every
little town in out land has" frorti one

as many parsonages for those pastors
But how much time does the average
preacher give to the boy problem?
True he has a hundred other things
to think about and do ' It keeps most
of our ministers busy keeping up with
the men and women in his flock
Then there is the school What is
it doing td solve the boy problem?
Well it is doing more than any other
institution for it is thinking about
the boy problem And that is about
all the school can do until the owners
of the Bchool gives it a chance to do
something What is your boy learn-
ing at school that is tying him ' onto
life? What ia he learning at school
that will help him to make an honest
living? Is he being taught anything
at school that is helping him to be
more useful at home or on the farm
or in the office or shop or any other
industrial institution? How do you
expect your boy to make his living?
The school ought to substitute those
thingsin a boy’s life that his home
fails to - provide Why? ' Because
schools are supposed to be created
and conducted for boys and not the
boys made for the school And if
the school does not furnish those
things that are lacking in his home
life where is the boy to find them?
The school is the only Institution that
is supposed to belong equally to all
boys ' '

ins of the department of agriculture
West Texas State Normal have just
returned from an inspection trip over
the State and they believe that manu-
al training and agriculture taught 1
our schools will do much to solve the
boy problems not only on farm but
in the towns and cities ' They say'
that “Boys like living things” We
have had too many dead things in our
schools and not enough living things
We have had too much of the past
and not enough of the present and
future in our schools We have had
too much algebra and - have
not not had enough stock judging
manual training We have spent
too much time and taxes preparing
one boy in 300 for college and hot
enough preparing the other 299 to
earn an hdnest living with his hands
and head combined But get back
in school boys as quick as you can
for things are ’ changing and pretty'
soon there Is going td be something
in the free public school that you need
more and like better -Three years
ago there were only 'two 'schools in
all West -Texas teaching vocational
agriculture This 'year there are
fifteen schools in the Panhandle alone
teaching stock judging Be patient
hoys’ and try td keep 'from getting
any Worse and the schools ‘will soon
have the things in them that will help
you solve your own problems

STATE BOARD OF HEALTH
Dr A E Davenport Com
Measles
' Many reports of 'measles have late-
ly been received at this office there-
fore I deem ' it advisable to give a
few hints to the public regarding
the disease -
’ Early symptoms of 'measles' are a’
watery ' discharge from' the nose
sneezing red watery' eyes hacking
cough drowsiness headache' loss of
appetite fever and sometimes vomit-
ing s'’ ’”r ’' :
' In four or five days a blotchy rash
appears over the entire body the eyes
becomq swollen and congested and
the cough and catarrhal symptoms
are aggravate- : v “ '
' 'A child Intected- With measles us-
ually phows the first j symptoms in
about two weeks after exposure but
the time may be from seven to eigh-
teen days A measles patient can
infect the air about him by coughing
and sneezing and infection can also
be carried to well children by dis-
charges on handkerchiefs towels
toys clothing and eating utensils
The law requires the Health Offi-
cer to placard the house and to iso-
late the sick person in a room This
is done for protection of the family
acquaintances and the public and
his instructions should be very care-
fully followed
The room where a measles patient
is isolated may be darkened and
should be well ventilated and screen-
ed from flies A patient is less lia-
ble to contract a cold or pneumonia
in such a room than in an over-warmed
poorly ventilated one The dis-
ease is most infectious as the early
symptoms appear but it is very in-
fectious throughout the course of
the disease until ten days after the
appearance of the rash The follow-
ing five points should be particularly
noted and remembered:
' (1) That children under five
years of age are most seriously af-
fected by measles
(2) That because measles favors
the development of pneumonia tub-
erculosis and diseases of the kidneys
eyes and ears it is to be much feared
and avoided
(3) That looking upon measles
as a necessary child ailment is a
grave mistake-which has cost many
lives
(4) That a mild case of measles
give perhaps a fatal case to a neigh-
bor’s child
(5) That the early diagnosis re
porting and proper isolation of a
case are necessary to check the
spread qf measles and to protect
other children

GOVERNMENT SAVINGS
SYSTEM PERMANENT '
e
je'e e s e's'e s s ee e
The U S Government ’ Savings
System is a - permanent institution
Beginning as a helper in raising mon-
ey to carry on the war it grew rapid-
Ij and finally developed into a real
lucessity It was found that mart'
people who had money would not in
vest it or deposit it with any Insti-
tution that wai iot operated by the
Government ' The "word of Uncle
Sam is what auch people wanted be-
fore they would take their ’money
from the old stockings or cubby holes
and tea canisters and place it wdiere
it would earn a fair interest and have
the principal returned to thclm at the
end qf the term of investment - War
Savings Certificates proved' popular
with investors in small amounts but
they were not adapted to peace con-
ditions nor was -the "War Savings
Organization pf the Treasury De-
partment able to handle after-war
conditions So a new savings secur-
ity waa devised and the U S Govern-
ment Savings System was created and
made a permanent part of the Treas-
ury ’a fiscal policy - j
The new syestem not only sells
the new -savings certificates but is
conducting a nation-wide campaign
to encourage saving and to discourage
the tendency toward taking chances
with all the fake investments that are
offered by sharpers and swindlers
who deal in bogus stocks and other
worthless securities In a brief but
nteresting form the Government Sav-
ings System tells what it is doing in
a booklet recently issued It is sent
free to anydne who is Interested
enough to write to the Treasury De-
partment at Washington for it

GROWERS IN DRIVE
FOR ORGANIZATION
May and June To See Majority of
Crop Eigned Up In Associa-
tion Says Secretary
- Oklahoma City May 2 — (Special)
— Broomcom Growers of Oklahoma
are planning to sell as nearly as pos-
sible to 100 per cent of their 1923
crop through their own' co-operative
marketing organization according to
announcement by W G Shipp secretary-treasurer
of the" Broomcom
Growers’ Co-Operative association
Headquarters for this organization
were established at Oklahoma City
following the election of directors and
ripal incorporation last week
“Oklahoma produce approximately
60 per cent of the broomcom grown
In tie world” Mr Shipp stated “We
already have more than 90 per cent
of the crop In one eonnty signed up '
in the association which la formed
and- will operate on the "Oklahoma
Plan” used so successfully by the
Oklahoma Cotton Growers’ association
for the past two years and by the k-
lahoma Wheat Growers’ association
this last season We propose to push
an intensive membership campaign
during May and June to the end that a
large- majority of the crop may be
signed up to be marketed co-operatively
in an orderly business-like
manner through the growers' own or-
ganization by July 1 '
“Cotton growers of Oklahoma who
were members of the Cotton Growers’
association this year are ahead of
the game to the tune of about $25
per bale The wheat growers have
made a like success There is no
reason why broomcom growers chould
rot benefit in like measure through
the application of common sense business-like
methods to the marketing
of their crop All are urged to join
in this movement”
