If the governor does call a special session of the legis-

he cannot control.

For Abolishing State Insti-
J tutions
Fifty Cents In its issue of August 31, the
— World carried an editorial sug-
gesting the abolishment of the
many useless and expensive state
institutions throngh an initiated
law, calling attention to condi-
tions existing which seemed to
make it impossible to accomplish
such an undertaking by an act
of the Legislature.
The manner in which this sug-
gestion has been received in al-
most every part of the state, in-
dicates that the people are alive
to the importance of the ques-
tion, and that public sentiment
is overwhelmingly in favor of
wiping the state clean of insti-
tutions that have done nothing
more than enable the politicians
as organize a plunder bund that
completely controls appropria-
tions and has the entire law-mak
i iy because of these institutions;'
the report of the equalization
I board, indicating a raise in tax-
es of more than 3 to 1, and the
j vastly decreased bank accou nt
j this year of most Oklahoma far-
mers. mak3s this a inost auspi-
cious time to undertake to rid
the state of these useless and
costly appendages. The one
thing necessary to accomplish
the purpose is some one to take
charge of the work of securing
the s;gners to a bill. Once the
bill is put tefore the people the
result is certain.—Tulsa World.

Wouldn't it bring the issue ssquarely before the people
if the democrats would nominate Champ Clark against Taft.
There seems to be no .question but what Mr. Taft will head
the republican ticket,' atfd if the democratic party is sincere
in its tariff policy how better can that party show its faith
than by putting up theirchampion, Mr. Clark.

.Expressing the belief that the constitution of the U. S.
and all federal laws had been repealed by tlie legislative
enactment which limits the amount iiquors a man may have
in his possesson in this state, Judge Lawrence stated that
he did not believe it was up to him to declare the law un-
constitutional. There seems to be a general opinion among
lawyers that the law is not good.

Have tfe got to go up against the whole board, or was
Elston representing the bunch. We are still of the same
opinion and will continue to tell the truth so long as we can
whisper and the bunch might as well take notice. One thing
which blends sweetly with our indignation is the words of
encouragement that come to us from the people who know
the whole circumstantes, and especially is this true when
some good influential democrats, say "you're right Gunsey,
give it to them." Snch remarks and many others along the
same line leads us to conclude shat Elaton's cowardly as-
sault has made us many friends ill his own partyf

There is considerable sentiment being worked up to-
wards initating a law to do away with a number of our state
institutions which are a menace t the ediiational interests
of the state. These institutions of higher education are
drawing entirely too much money out of the treasury for
the return they give along educational lines. The money
necessary to run these institutions prevent the establish-
ment of an ordinary country school. With these out of the
way our country schools would take an upward trend that
would soon be noticed. By all means let the good work be
started along.

Its a peculiar condition to note the opposition to reci-
prosity in Canada as well as in this country. We overheard
a grain buyer declare against Taft because reciprocity would
admit Canadian wheat free to this country. The price of
wheat is not controlled by the this country hence the impor-
tation of Canadian wheat could not lower the price of that
comodity. Canadian wheat has had free access to the mark-
ets outside, with a better freight rate to the seaboard con-
sequently the shipments are direct. Large American mills
grind much of the Canadian wheat for the foreign market
but no duty is paid because the rebate on the flour shipped
out is equal to the duty on the wheat? shipped in.

have been received commending
the movement, some of them
from influential and well-known
Democratic politicians wiio have
beeli prominent in the affairs of
thatjparty since statehood, but
who, for reasons easily under-
stood, do not want -their names
used. This fact .shows1 the
strength of the plunderbund and
the real sentiment that it cannot
squelch.
In a letter before the writer
at this moment one such promi-'
nent Democrat, unusually "well
posted on. political. conditions
saays, in effect: "You say there
is grave danger of these state
institutions multiplying until
they wiil control enough legisla-
tors to control the Legialature.
That conditions exists now.
The record of the last sesoion of
the Legislature proves this.
Fifty-four of the 109 members of
the Lower House represent
counties or flotorial districts
having a so-called state institu-
tion. These fifty-four made
Durant, farther of the Durant
Normal, speaker of the House.
Durant made Crawford, sponsor
of the Ada Normal, chairman of
the appropriation committee. J
Roy Williams, guardian of the
Cameron Agricultural School,
wps made speaker protem.
And so on. When the organiza-
tion was completed the plunder
bund had a straight road to the
state treasury, barring the gov-
ernor. And because the gov-
ernor vetoed ruthlessly the var-
ious appropriations for state in-
stitutions, the members of the
plunderbund have given it out
cold that in the next ses sion no^
an administrative measure will
go through until the governor
has retreated from his pos ition
and given his pledge that these
appropriation bills will be ap-
proved. And already the com-
bination has begun a movement
to put a so-called 'institution
man, in the executive chair next
time. If the state institutions
continue, and if theplanderbund
does succeed in this last under-
taking. God help the taxpayers
of Oklahoma."
This, mind you as from a
man who has been all the wav
through Democratic politics in
Oklahoma It shows that these
state institutions are the gravest
danger Oklahoma has, and the
question of abolishicg them is
easily the puramount issue and
no sense considered a partisan
onq by even the partisans" And
this man as every other one

SINGING HILLS AND CLIFFS
Examples of the Way in Which Na-
ture Creates Musical Sounds Arc
Numerous.
fn pertain pa,rts of the lorld are
mountains and hills which are said by
the natives to'aing. In the Pyrenees
certain cliffs emit plaintive sounds re-
sembling the strains of a harp. Two
other cliffs in the same chain are
called the "snorers." When the wind
is in the southwest they send forth a
peculiar sound not altogether musical.
The faces of these cliffs are marked
by deep gullies open In front, which
may be compared to the pipes of til
organ. At certain times a stratum of
air, held between the cliffs and bor-
dering trees, closes the openings while
the wind blows freely between through
the gullies, or organ pipes, behind;
hence the music that la beard.
At the confluence of the Orinoco and
the Rio Met* are granite cliffs which

the phenomenon aa the musical stone*

As a matter of fact official statistics show that in Eng-
land the cost of living has increased faster than the wages
of labor. In fifteen years the cost of living has increased
17.9 per cent while the increase in the average wage scale
has been only 12.4 per cent. In a country where the wage
scale was already at the bare level of existence, even a
smaller disturbance than this between the income and the
outgo of the average laborer must work like some mighty
and exorable lever to pull body and soul apart. It is a sit-
uation which makes a difference of even a shilling in a
week's wages not only an important matter, but a vital mat-1 this condition can be remedied

facts as these give one a pretty good insight into the de-

be better solved in terms of justice rather than in charity

By bearing in mind the fact that
the plunderbund has fifty-four
members of the Lower House
and thirty-four out of forty-four
in the Senate the reader can
easily understand why this is
true.

years I suffered from weak Kid-

Pills and their wonderful cures
so I began taking them and sure
enough I had as good results as
any I heard about. My back-

business, expressman, that alone
is a great advantage. My kid-

that saved me a lot of misery
It is now a pleasure to work
where it used to be a misery.
Foley Kidney Hills have cured
me and have my highest praise."
