SPRING AND THE OUTDOORS
Spring with its buds and blooms and green is the
reward that trips into our midst as the eulogy heels
of winter pass the vanishing point, says the Beacon.
Soon the Wichita and Sedgwick county gardners!
will be walking out evenings and Sunday afternoon!
to see how the peas and potatoes are coming on;
how the radishes arc roundng out; how well the
onions are acquiring strength and how the beans
are podding. Just seeing things grow is a reward;
for the bleakness of winter. Communion with Na-

NEWSPAPER PUBLICITY
The coming political campaign more than any-
thing ever known in this state or country is going
to develope a strong feature for the free, full, can-
did newspaper discussion of all questions pertinent
at Chelsea, Okla. Arrangements to
this end were completed yesterday.
The team will begin preliminary work
at Chelsea March 25 and remain there
until April 10. The business men of

THAT PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY.
Senator Cummins, fully recognizing that
present efforts at presidential primaries over the
country would be very premature and unsatisfac-
tory, is pushing a bill in congress which will pre-
pare the way and put in operation all necessary
federal machinery for such expressions of the pref-
erences of the voters before another presidential
year.
The declarations of President Taft a few days
ago along these lines were very clear and to the
point. lie is as strong for the presidential primary
as any one can be, but he more than undertsands
the crude and unsatisfactory methods that would
have to be employed, and that until the necessary
and complete machinery is provided by congressi
all attempts at such methods would not be in har-
mony with the systematic methods and complete |,N'S0
provisions the party has always provided for such
work.
Senator Cummins is moving along the right lines,
and he fully undertsands what is necessary and how
to get at it in proper and forceful manner. The
Cummins bill or a better one will pass the present
congress and the whole matter will be satisfactor-
ily arranged as soon as possible.

In the two indictments, similar in
all respects with the exception of the
location of the offense in that one
included the town of Crescent and
the other the entire of Logan coun-
ty, it was charged that the defend-
ants had entered into a conspiracy
in the restraint of trade, to throttle
competition, regulate and fix the
price of cotton, cotton ginning and
all products of cotton.
It was alleged that the conspir-
ators divided the trade territory into
units with the Coyle interests repre-
senting one unit, the Cawthorn inter-
ests another, and the Houghton-
Douglas interests the other. That
by reason of this conspiracy inde-

There is already a lot of very effective but quiet

were in office before. When they

Nothing From Spencer
And still things are at a stand still
around the city hall, in a measure.
The commissioners are transacting all
affairs of the city and looking after
every detail. However they have not
yet had their first formal meeting
for the purpose of making appoint-
ments and organizing.
They are still waiting upon the de-
cision of W. S. Spencer, Commissioner
of Public Utilities, who is in Denver,
Colo. Nothing has been heard from
Mr. Spencer since Monday, and he
is yet undecided as to whether or not
he will return.
