Mi st Manchester take—and re
tain—a back seat in matters edu-
cational? It begins to look like
such is the case. Medford last year
built a magnificent 340,000 schoo
building, and is now ranking with
the best towns in the state in such
matters. Wakita boosters got busy
and pushed through a bond issue
which resulted in a §16,000 schoo
building. (We believe that is the
correct figure. A n y w a y it
worth §16.000.) And now Gibbon
has voted §6,000 bonds to put up
a fine big building for school pur-
poses. Why must the schoolchild-
ren of Manchester attend school in
a building which is inadequate, un-
safe. and disgraceful in appearance
We believe the people in this town
can afford better school facilities,
and we further believe that they
will not be averse to furnishing bet-
ter facilities, if given an opportun-
ity. Shall they be given that op-
portunity?

“GOVERNOR HASKELL wants
to do away with township officers
in order to cut down taxes. The
salaries of the township officers
the average county wouldn't pay
the postage on the dope sent out
of the governor’s office explaining
why taxes are high.”—Y\akita Her-
ald. Now Brother Harris, why
not get right in this matter? Why
try to deceive the people? Just
because some people are sore on
Charley Haskell, you try to make
them believe he is governor of Ok-
lahoma. This is not fair, either to
the people or to Mr. Cruee, who ,s
actually governor, and has been for
some time. If you doubt that he
is governor, ask some of the fellows
who wanted a special session of the
legis'ature.
