THK KIU-IT liKIHUlTH.
Some of the farmers way that the peach trees are
not doing well; that the dry spell lasted until the sap
was practically exhausted, thus preventing the swelling
of the buds this spring, and that this is especially true
of the Elbertas. Mr. 11. Emerson says that many of Ills
Klbertas are not In good condition. Others say that the
peach outlook is fairly good and that the country w
have all the fruit that is needed here at home.
Every one agrees that the plums, pears and apricots
all of which are now In bloom are in the- best of condi-
tion and that the prospect r tor bumper crops could not
be better. The small fruits are promising several hun
dred fold also, and the situation generally looks good to
the man who has eyes to see. ami faith in anything.
Blue grass Is green now wherever it has had the car
that keep it; and the lawns down some of the street
seem to strech away in lines of beaut? that make men
smile and sigh softly. Spring is almost here, and the
birds are twittering In the trees In the early mornings;
if your old heart is not stirred with some of the senti
ments of youth, and dreams do not recur to you with
beautiful memory pictures of sweet days, you better read
a little of Van Dyk$. or Walt Whitman, or Joaquin Mil-
ler. or Mark Twain. No man In this young state
afford to pass up Spring as If he had the gout; come out
of It. and grin, and let go then for an hour just as you
did when "she" was so many that you thought of her
when you saw a street car or an oak chair, or the stars;
and you wrote, her name on every scrap of paper or
your slate or in the sand with your too. What's the use
of all tills bluster; it's Spring.

responsibility; and according to the benefits and services
that they require and necessarily secure from the gov-
ernment which assesses taxes. If one man owned Enid,
ho should, according to the supreme court, pay for
the protection and service that he would require from
the state, more than any other man. owing to the un-
usual amount of property that he posessed. That is a
iind principle of action and law; and it places the load
in some degree upon the persons who are abundantly
able and fully obligated to carry just their fair share.

to Texas.
Sen Antoniio, Tex., March 14.—
That Uncle Sain expects 120,000
of his soldiers to "smoke up" while
in camp at Ft. Sam Houston near
this city to engage in a three
months' military maneuver was em-
phasized this morning when 5,000
brightening; and after all. as Dolliver said at the Loe-
wen shortly before his death, the advances that we are
making toward the common man are marveloualy
speedy; in some cases society cannot keep up with the
laws that we pass for its purification and betterment.
From the days of Egyptian slavery until now stretches
a long reach of time, but the spirit and power of the
American people would surprise the revolutionary
lathers who sometimes faltered when Chey ei^eruBted
the masses of mere people unknown ami driven in storms
of turbulent passion, with the high privileges that wo
are now attempting to wrest finally from the senate
and the parties and factions which have partially ap-
propriated them. The Income tax is another step in the
proof of the fact that the average man is the only hope
of the race either in government, the humanities, the
sciences, or religion. And the supreme court vindicates
its high name in the land of man's first free and hope-
ful day.
THE "HOLLOW."
The supreme court of the United States has mani-
fested its worth and power again; this time by means
of a decision upholding the income tax as constitutional
against which all manner of technical error has been
raised, and might have prevailed. In a weaker court
and even in this one years ago it is altogether prob-
able that they would have prevailed. But things are
changing, and the laws are gradually taking the curves
of advancing intelligence and new conditions. Justice
would place the burdens of taxation upon the property,
the wealth, of the nation.
The enemies} of this Income tax say that the consti-
tution distributes the burdens of taxation uniformity
among the people: I e . without classification. The
supreme court of the nation lias said that the burdens
shall be borne by men somewhat in the degree of their
ability, and more in the manner of their property
The recent killing in the hollow Is a recurrence of
what, It seems, Is a regular periodical affair down there;
and practically every one of the crimes from that section
of the city seems to have a streak of white In it, which
it is extremely difficult to designate clearly and certain,-
ly. The thing is vaguely hinted at from time to time
however, and it is reasonably certain that the dives and
joints in that part of town are but the creatures of the
white trash; which, as is nearly always the ease, reduces
the negro to the level of crime for the sake of loot and
lust.
There is a trace of other than African blood mixed
in that series of unspeakable conditions and crimes that
have disgraced this city for some years, but never with
the temerity ad boldness that is lately made manifest.
Tho hollow is not the product of the black man and the
mulatto's Indulgence only; indeed it is not improfile
that the black man may be the white man's excuse for
a good deal that would not be permitted even on the
square, nowadays. The inmates from that part of the
city are admitted by the authorities iTiemselves to be
roving the whole town at their own pleasure, and the
law winks its eye, if it has one yet locally; a drunken
stupor would not be more easily deceived and evauec*
than are the police authorities and protective forces
of this city of late. Liquor Is said by the county attor-
ney to be sold in twenty-five places within hailing dis-
tance of his office, and yet none of it can be found. The
police can find a few "drunks" but no source of the
trouble. Gambling is admitted, but detection is eXr
trcniely difficult, It seems. What's the matter with this
town, anyhow? Why can't anybody see and hear or
even smell anymore except the preachers?
The "Hollow" is the only admitted place of crime,
in Enid, and the African the only criminal. Once every
few days a "white" man who has been called to that
part of- the city on business meets up with a "colored
woman" who robs him, and he is victimized by a "big
burly buck." That's getting to be an old, old story, and
if the officer lives iu Enid who has the courage to keep
his oath for one fair hour almost any evening lie will
make himself and the city a whole lot more acceptable
by hauling about a half dozen or more spalpeens out of
that "hollow" and getting them, with the evidence in
the case, squarely before the courts. Once the pit were
opened It could not be closed until it had been cleaned
The hollow has been an excuse for this kind of thing
long enough. Winking at lawlessness on the square Is
getting tiresome, but condoning and protecting it in the
"hollow" is a miserable shame for which there is not
the excuse of ' liberality."
The courage of a « lean conviction Is but a healthy
American characteristic, and a city like this cannot exis^
without more of it than we have had of late. How could
j a lad following the life of Lincoln as be followed the
I lives of great men before him by the pine torch, rocon-
j die this cowardice with the genius of the American peo-
ple? Why not be men right here on the streets and
clean up the unfortunate "hollow."
ing tobacco was delivered at the
(ommissary.
That the pipe Is not popular with
the soldiers was shown by a large
part of the consignment consisting
ot tobacco for cigarette purposes.
To insure that the "makings'
would be complete In all details, the
tobacco was accompanied by almost
a halfl ton of cigarette papers Thi
consignment oP smoking material
was the largest ever made to the
post here and gives some notion o<
how universal smoking is in tho
United States army. The time wa,
when soldiers in the regular army
were served with an allowance of
chewing tobacco each week, fn the
past twenty-five years the smokin ;
habit has become so general that
the government has added sirr
tobacco as a part of the commis-
sary.
ItOllHItT LYNCH II EKE.
Robert T. Lynch, representing
the New York Foundling Hospital,
of New York City, is a visitor in
Enid this week. Mr. Lynch is se-
curing homes for the sixty orphan
hildren who will be sent from that
Institution to Oklahoma and Ar-
kansas the fourth of April. Here,
he has secured several homes and
was busy today preparing the dat*
which precedes the legal steps nec-
essary to be taken. Each child be-
fore being sent will be tagged with
his or her new adopted name, so
that there will be' no misunder-
standing at arrival. The hos-
pital, which is a Catholic institution
has charge ofl 2,800 orphans, rang-
ing from the ages of a few days to
three years. Those which will be
sent In April are between the agC3
of two and three years. Mr. Lynch

this city. He expects to leave to-
morrow for El Reno.

SENDS OCT ASSESSOR S BOOKS.
But Hereafter h County Assessor
Will Take Charge.
County Clerk Ira Williams is send-
ing out the assessor's books and sup-
plies to the township assessors for
the last time. Next year the big
books will be taken out by the coun-
ty assessor to be appointed by the
governor under the provisions of the
new law; he will be elected after the
expiration of this term of four years
however. There are forty of the big
books and the assessors are taking
them out to begin their work imme-
diately- The county assessors will
not make the Yustomary house to
house visit, but will take a stand in
each precinct where each property
owner will call upon him with the
accessary information.
OTHER EVIDENCES OF SIMUNU.
"Any news?" asked a reporter of
11. H. Champlin. "Why maybe, the
rass is starting on the court house
square" remarked the observing
business man. This is the first grass
that has ever presented itself for pub-
lic consideration in that particular
part of the city and the innovation
will make the whole city and coun-
ty glad all summer long.

Sheriff Hume is in Wichita today
making an investigation; he believes
that the negro Johnson who escaped
from the jail the other day is waiting
for him in the Kansas city. Johnson
had small chance of getting a heavy
sentence, as his crime was a light
one, but his jail break will probably
lay him up for some time-
