School Land hill
Mr. C. C. Worrall.
Dear 8ir: In an.iver to my
request that you give us vour
opinion on the proposed school
land sale bill, you report sick and
unable for duty and urge that 1
write my opinion. I am indeed
sorry that you are in this dis-
abled condition and trust that in
the near future you may be suf-
ficiently braced by treatment and
the mountain air of Denver to
again aasume your former poai
tion aa m pushing politician. I
understand that for some time
you have not been at your usual
strength and this possibly ac
oounts for the knook-out when
this "leaa eaae" bill struck you.
I find most everyone who make*
a oareful study of thia bill finds
himaelf afflicted with an uneaay
feeling—don't know what is the
matter but faalg that aomethios
is oominff and if it don't strike a
ohui.k ia liable to tear things up
in general. Thia queer feeling ia
followed by queer reaulta, for
while many are throwing small
ohunka in the road, politioiana,
editors and those in a positicfti to
wield a chunk large enough to
ditoh the thing are oonspicuoua
because of their inactivity. Thia
ailenoe ia not as it ahould be and
I am real eorry you are unable to
get hold of your quill and give
us a vigorous discussion of this
very important subject.
This bill, if decided in the affir-
mative, provides for the final
disposition of over three million
taad, ostensibly at publio auction
but in reality by letting the leaaee
or aome member of hia family
have it on forivyeara' time at ita
appraised value. True, the atate
must go through with all the ma-
nouvera of an auction, thu* in-
curring an enormoua expense
which but the conditions attached to a
o eir-1 bidder aro intended to discour<

In t
Devil hia duea, and will admit
that certain portions of the atute
where large bodies of indemnity
lands are located would be bene-
fitted by some disposition of these
bodies in a way to provide taxes
or means for oonduoting the mu-
nicipal affairs. But why dispore
Oi sections 1 1 and ,'W and small
bodies of indemnity land? What
sane reason for disposing of any
of it during these times of low
prices and little demand? It sim-
ply means a sale at a great sac-
rifice, depriving our ohiidren and
our ohildren's children of a large
per oent of the means we now
have laid aside for their educa-
tion. And who gats tha benefit
of this saorifioe? Can you gueaa?
A few more years and Father
Time will declare us no mora,but
if we have preserved this mag-
nificent school fund in ita fullest
extent, coming generations re-
ceiving it as a legacy will have
abundant reaaoa for rising and
oalling us blaaaad. I oan't oast
a vote to saorifioe it and then
come home and face wife and
babies. Can you, my friend?
If tha times were prosperous
and we desired to dispoee of the
land then the regulations under
whioh we sell it would become of
first importancs. We have be
fore us a set of regulations known
as the School Land Sale Bill,
gotten up by a self-appointed
no affair of hie. I predict after a
few hints of this kind he will de-
cide the fates are against him,
and from thence on the evident
intention of the authors of the
bill will be carried out—the lessee
will simply take the land in his
own name or in the name of
some member of his family for
want of bidders.
I trust you will hold this sub
ject open for disoussion, so that
if my neignbor on the other aide
of the fence thinks I am a mis
guided mortal and wishes to set
me right, he may have an oppor
tunity. I have my pumpkins
about harvested and assure him
I will give hia disouaaion my un-
divided attention if he will at*
t- mpt to diaoloae merits enough
in that bill to commend it to an
intelligent public.

Frederick. Okla., August 11.—
Fiva effective shota fired into the
body of John Lawia, a farmer re-
siding south of Praderiok. by
George Short,hia brother-in-law,
oaused the former's death and
were the culmination of a series
of family troubles that had re-
sulted in the separation of Lewis
and his wife, Short's sister, The
killing took place in front of
Brown's cafe. 8hort was ar-
rested. Lewis and Short met on
the street and quarreled. Short
is said to have gone home and
procured his gun tor the purpose
of killing Lewis. When thev met
a nhort time later Short said
'•Now, d—n you, John Lewis, I
am going to kill you." After two
shots were fired, Lewis grabbed
the pistol and wrenched it from
8hort's hand. Short regained
the weapon and fired th ee more
shots.—Guthrie Leader.
