IS THIS FAIR?
I have somothing in my system
that I must get loose from. I have
just been reading some very interest-
ing reports of the acts of our Honor-
able U. 8. Congress, or rather the
U. S. Senate. I shall not declare
my fitness to criticise suctf an honor-
able body of men, but want to plve
some figures to demonstrate my views
to the public.
There has just occurred a very bit-
ter fight in the Senate of the U. S.
to pons over Pres. Wilson's veto an
immigration bill which seeks to ex-
clude the Illiterates of foreign coun-
tries from entering the United States.
On Saturday, January 2, the measure
went through by a majority of 67 to
7 excluding illiterates of all Nations
und nil classes except the illiterate
farmers of Belgium. In other words,
they exclude the illiterate hash-sllng-
er, the illiterate ditch-dijrRpr, the il-
literate mine-worker, the illiterate
factory-hem}, the illiterate trqmp, but
throw open the gates and make tha
farms of the U. S. the dumping
ground fpr eli of the uncouthed, un-
cultivated, PMcilanimous, unpension-
ed cripples who stand as a sad monu-
ment to the avaricious wars of other
countries.
I have not the figures to show the
illiteracy of the other states, but here
are some that I have gleaned from
Okjphoma that seem to me should be
called to the attention of every mem-
ber of Congress from Oklahoma.
Statistics show thnt there nre now in
Oklahoma 67,567 illiterates, and 60,-
865 of them live on the farms. There
are 32,320 boys and men, and 28,578
girls and women on the farms of Ok-
lahoma that can neither read nor
write. If other states anything like
compare with these figures as tp the
illiteracy test, find surely with us ever
boasting of our public school system,
they do, then js it fair to the farmer
and his family that these sad, disap-
THE NEW ADMINISTRATION
LAUNCHED
With the legislature in the third
week of its session, the inaugural
ceremonies unforgettable memories
and the governor's messnge in cold
ty|>e on the desk of every member of
the two houses, the new state admin-
istration is fairly launched. Every
night since that following the inaug-
ural lall has seen -lights gleaming
in tho offices of Governor Robert L.
Williams at Oklahoma City. Tlre-1
clerks, pounding typewriter keys, and
ransacking official flies, have been
kept on the run following the tireless
steps of their chief.
Governor Williams' message was
widely acclaimed at the capital as the
most leinsliable state document Ok-
lahoma non ever seen. It took in
rcores of subjects and was ruthless in
its suggestions of ecciiomy. It had
been expected the message would
arouse bit -.or opposition in some ry ar-
ters, but if there was such opposition
it h not leen voiced thus far.
The school land oammissWi. the
first official department to be organ-
ized, started cH with the cruel econo-
n.y p'Of rnr. that has been th* gov-
ernor's unswerving determination.
Salaries were slashed right and left,
including that of Geo. A. Smith, new
secretary of the commission.
The abolition of the state capitol
commission, and several other boards,
leaving only the board of affairs, the
election board and the board of edu-
cation. designed to effect a saving of
more than $30,000 a year, is urged by
the governor. He would have the
capitol commission remain until the
contract for the state capitol has been
let. ■
"I join arms with" you with a view
of presenting a solid phalanx in car-
rying out these measures and re-es-
tablishing government in the heart

mesage concludes. Governor Wil-
pointed, discouraged, homeless and liams read the message with charac-
yneducaed classes should be turned teristie earnestness and was cheered
loose in our rural school districts to ;after each paragraph. Sentiment is

This government is spending mil-
lions of dollars every year educating
the farmer through the ogencios of
the agricultural schools and their
many gubagencles. This same Con*
gress has just passed the celebrated
Smith-Lever bill which carries an In-
creasing appropriation from year to
year to the agricultral colleges and
the farm demonstration work, and as
one of the agents, receiving part of
almpst unnnlmpus in the legislature

show that either the adult farmer or

WE WANT ONE FRQM PRYOR TO

It seems that Collinsville is to get
the interurban electric railroad that
ie now completed from Coffeyville,
Kan., to Nowata, as the promoters
of tha road do not want to bridge the
Verdigris, and to run the line into
Claremore they would have to do so.
It ia to be regretted that we are
not going to get the road, but it is
to be hoped that in the near future
some company will see tho plausibil-
ity at constructing an electric line
from Collinsville to Pryor, passing
through this city. Should this be

share in aiding the project should it

HE WAS LIGHTING HIS WAT
One night recently as we were go-
ing home after work we saw a sight
which at once interested us. It was
dark and we were slowly moving
along when we noticed coming oward
uh an aged man, carrying a lantern.
The mere fact that we had not seen a
lantern for a number of years, as
Claremore boasts of, and is, a well
lighted town, held our attention. It
took us back to the days when we
were a boy in Claremore when the
street light was an unknown thing
here and there were no sidewalks in
our town. Through the dimming
memories of the childhood that is
gone, we seemed to remember even
our father with his lantern, when the
family took occasion to visit a show
at night, up stairs in the building now
occupied by the Palace One Day Laun-
dry, lighting the way home and
around the mud puddles. Our mind
went back to those days when Third
street In our city was lined with
wooden shacks, a whole block of which
would be swept away, occasionally, in
one night by fire. We clearly re-
membered that a brick building at
that time was viewed not as a neces-
sity, but a luxury, and Claremore, at
that time, boasted of a very few of
those kind of luxuries. We thought
also with a little humor of the days
when the Claremore Hotel, which
burned down a number of years ago
and which was for some time prior to
its distraction an eye sore to our main
street, was the best hotel that Clare-
more could afford, and we remember-
ed when we used to want to live in
such a fine palace.
Now you will soy we were dream-
ink. Perhaps so. But the thought
that immediately followed our dream-
ing was, "Why should the old man be
carrying a lantern in Claremore, the
best lighted town of its size in the
state, and carrying that lantern with
which he was lighting his way, on one
of Claremore's main thoroughfares,
Fifth street, on the wey to the wells?"
For it was near the Seward Grocery
that we met him.

NOTHING SUCCEEDS LBS
SUCCESS
It is an established fact that tmal*
lahoma Press Association met at the ness in Claremore for the past
Lee-Huckins Hotel in Oklahoma City, has not been up to the standaflL
recently to discuss things of interest J There seems to be a slackness all
to newspaper men. President J. B.
Campbell, of the Waurika Hornet,
was in the chair, with E. S. Bronson,
of the El Reno American, secretary.
In the program for consideration of
the convention were three bills to be
recommended to the legislature repre-
senting measures desired by the news-
paper men of the state. These bills
would require a new newspaper libel
law, publication of arguments on the
initiative and referendum and the
publication of all claims against mu-
nicipalities in order to make the same
valid.
The chairman of the legislotive
committee, Horace W. Sheppard, of
the Altus Times, wired that on ac-
count of illness he wns unable to at-
tend.
The sentiment as expressed by a
number of prominent editors is that
the press of the state will not favor
any erratic or drastic measures op-
posing corporations. As one put it,
uround and the walls of the weak-
hearted have risen to the God in the
skes. The pessimists have raised
their voices and their waillnga have
risen to the higher key. According
to them things are going to the "bow-
wows" in the shortest possible order,
and if it were left to them to prevent
such a calamity we do not doubt in
the least but that their predictions
would be fulfilled; but praise Him
who doeth all things well, we still
have a great many business men in
our town who have the "sand" and
who can smile even though they do
not feel that way.
Take the case home to yourself.
Would you not rather go into a store
to do your buying and be met by a
man with a smiling face who replies
to your question, "How is business,"
with a jovial "Fine," rather than to
be met by one with a scowling face
who immediately informs you that
business is punk and that if it does

A. E. BALL IS MAKING GOOD
That A, E, Ball, representative, is
now able to do his people some good
in the house of representatives, there
is no doubt for in a letter received
from him recently he informs us that
he got all that he asked for and more,
too. He says that he is well pleased
with the assignments that he was giv-
en and well he might be for he is on
some of the best committees in tbe
house and as he is a member «f the
committee on education and the one on
appropriations he will undoubtedly be
able to do our State School some good,
and Mr. Ball informed us before the
election that should he be fortunate
enough to be elected he would devote
untiring energies to the helping of
the State School here and toward that
end he strove hard to get into a posi-
tion on the committees to aid this
educational institution of which we
are all so proud.
That Mr. Ball is going to be a fac-
tor in the things down at Oklahoma
City there also can be no doubt for lie
lias been appointed as a member of
the committees on rules, appropria-
tions, highways, oil and gas, elections,
municipal corporations, educational
and is chairman of the committer on
county and township organization;.
Progress is much pleased to note
the recognization which Mr. Ball was
given at Oklahoma City and with his
being located as he is and in a posi-
tion to do something and his bull dog
tenacity and fearlessness in saying
things, we think that he is just the
man that we have been looking for
to get something done for us at Okla-
homa City.

effort that is being put forth by this
institution to secure an appropriation

the students are much interested in
the work.
Another old Claremore resident, died
Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock, in
tbe personage of A. K. Osment, who
resided with his family in the east
part of town. The cause of Mr. Oa-
ment's death was heart failure
For some months he has been troubl-
ed with heart failure, but neither he
nor his family thought that it would
terminate fatally, Mr. Osment was a
well driller and at the time of bis
death was, together with his son, Bob,
engaged in drilling a well over near
the Jack Matthews place, near the
Verdigris river. Early in the after-
noon Thursday Mr. Osment complained
to his son that be was not feeling well
and the son suggested that he lay
down for awhile, which he did, on a
lap robejspread on tbe. ground. Mr.
Osment then told his ton to call the
doctor, as he did not think he had long
to live. Dr. Bushyhead was summon-
ed and he, together with Mr Osment's
daughter, Clara, started in an auUK
mobile for the place, but before they
reached it he had passed away.

from the residence on Sunday after-

According to the reports that the
railroads operating in Oklahoma are
making to the Corporation Commis-
>i, their revenues in Oklahoma are
showing a constant increase on oper-
ation under the two cent passenger
fare compared with results of opera-
tion under the three cent rate.
The passenger revenues of the five
leading roads in the state for the four
months ended October 31, 1914, a
period of operation under the two cent
fare, shows a gain of more than
$267,000 over the corresponding peri-#
od of 1912, which was a period of
operation under the three cent fare.
The ame period for 1918, which was
the first four months after reinstate-
ments of the two cent fare, showed a
gain of about $75,000 over 1912, while
1914 shows a gain over 1913 of about
