ABOUT LCOISLATURES IN
OKNKRAL
Legtflstures are presumably necei
jry evils but for loose-jointefi Inef
Sclent and dLgnsting organisations
thflr like la hardly to be found else-
where in any clime on thla globe gome
?' ood legislation accidentally slips
trough the mill but the east major-
ity is mediocre or bad The more one
witnesses the ponderosity and the mis-
guided efforts of this portion of our
state government the more he Is
prone to wonder how our government
has succeeded Eventually we will
have to get down to business prin
ciples in the conduct of our state bust
ness and when that time comes we
will install a one-body or unicameral
- system of legislature made up of a
Tew Intellectuals of sufficient mental
r ' calibre to recognise the difference be-
' tween good laws and bad who will re-
main In session throughout the year
e In this manner they will dispense
' ' with much of the lost motion required
by the preliminaries of every legls-
' lative session in which the time spent
in getting ready to start to go con-
sumes about three-fourths of the per-
iod allotted A business concern which
would follow the plan of organisation
' ‘ ' found in a legislature would go to
the wall in less time than Is consumed
in a legislative session Oklahoma is
a nice young state and so are the
rest of the commonwealths In our na
- ilon but that’s no sign her govern
ment is perfect or Incapable of being
improved We might as well give up
the task of changing human nature
but we can regulate It Oklahoma and
about 47 other startes are now ready
for a little more regulating
EDITOR IN THE MAKING
During the past week El Reno has
' been visited by a group of young folks
' who a few years hence will be help-
‘ ins much In shaping Oklahoma’s des-
" " ttnies by means of the printed word
This group generally designated as
'--cubs meaning that they are novices
m the Held of Journalistic endeavor
i in three days time left an Indelible
mark of their talent and industry In
“ the form of a 20-page special edition
V " flied with spicy advertisements and
-1 interesting news features
' The American extends Its hearty
thanks to the school of journalism tor
- the sacrifices entailed In leaving their
' — ' university work for the purposp of
concentrating their efforts upon1 the
El Reno edition Their visit as last
year has been an Inspiration to the
business section of the city their com-
! Ing has injected a spirit of optimism
and energy into all with whom they
came in contact This annual edition
now an established institution and
The American is already faying plans
i for l fxt year’s edition
’ To tie people of El Reno the man-
- ’ ‘ gpement of The American also ex-
’ ' ‘ tends slncerest appreciation since the
-support accorded In this effort was
1 i everything that could be expected Not
-only in advertising patronage was this
assistance given but bIbo in opening
' - the homes to the visitors in impart-
ing desired information and in going
’ out of the way to assist the journal--
ists in attaining their desires

‘ ' r ‘in the special edition of Sunday
’morning naturally a few mistakes oc-
‘curred The American apologizes with
'due humility for these and asks that
"‘ihe readers take into consideration
the handicaps under which the school
" of Journalism students were working
' "Being entirely unfamiliar with local
names locations conditions and af-
fairs In the Bhort space of three days
they prepared the paper with the min-
imum of supervision Looking at it in
this light don’t you think that the
scarcity of errors is highly commend-
able?

From a small start in 1912 the
school of journalism of the Universily

position of much prominence in the
sti’le school To Prof H H Herbert
who heads the department goes the
bulk of the honor in building it to
its present position He has an able
ally at present in Arthur Hallam who
heads the advertising department - of
th- school This is a team of young
bustlers who are bound to make the
school a success and to impart the
spirit of achievement through untir-
ing wrrk to the students who come un-

A SENSIBLE MOVE
' An exceedlnly sensible step was
taken by the directors of the Cana-
dian county fair association in their
meeting in El Reno last week when It
- was voted to exclude the usual cami-
L val company from the county fair
’j grounds during the fair this fall
As long as carnivals are carried on
In connection with a fair the feeling
will prevail among the fair-goers that
! they are being tricked out of their
money! They are inot far wrong
1 alnce a good many of the attractions
' are fakes or games of chance in
eurblcb the chance of winning la almost
negligible
' ' If a county fair Is not of sufficient
’ interest in itself to hold the people’s
attention It should be discontinued
For our part we believe that the at-
’ tendance will 'not be diminished by
’ - the laek of a few tawdry shows and
there w sufficient home talent In Can-
7adlaa eounff to provide programs anu
h-7 features of various kinds which will

chicks this year is to use the right starting feed Ordi-

chicks every year How often you hear the expression
“I had bad hick with my chicks So many of them
died” In most cases the trouble is in the starting
feed Make up your mind to save more baby chicks
Purina Chicken Chowder and Purina
Baby Chick Chow

for baby chicks With Purina Poultry
