Shop Bill Is .
Attacked
Washington April 13. The demo-
cratic members of concress are fieht-
V f ing day and night to remove the tariff
y' on print paper. It costs the press of
ihist I'nnntrv TiiillifinH nf dollars pnch
year. It fattens the paper trust that
is already one of the most gigantic
trusts on the list. It places a premium
on the dispensation of intelligence. It
costs the reader more for his daily pa-
per it costs the parents of the bright-
eyed children more for their school
books than they are able to pay. The
republicans are In a tight. If they
don't take off the tariff the press of
the country both democratic and re-
publican will skin them. It they do
take It off they will have to confess
This would disorganize their tariff
on barb wire and forming Implements
lumber miner's tools etc. 98 well.
This would disorganize their tairff
forces bo they nro fighting for life to
keep It down.

the FIRST NATIONAL BANK

DETAILED
AS ONE OF THE PERMANENT AS-
SISTANTS TO STATE BANK
COMMISSIONER
Out of about thirty men who were
selected as assistant state bank com-
missioners when the new law became
effective J. P. Whatley of this city has
the honor of being one of the five men
to be retained permanently.
The large number of assistants was
necessary at first owing to the vast
amount of work that had to be done
in order to get ready for the new plan
of Insuring bank deposits.
It was understood that only a limited
number of employes would be retained
and these the most efficient. The re-
tention of Mr. Whatley is therefore a
strong endorsement of his work.
Mr. Whatlev returned HaH-!-
night from Guthrie where he attended
a conference of Commissioner Smock
and his assistants lasting several
days. The district assigned to him In-
cludes the counties of Southwestern
Oklahoma and he has 100 state banks
besides the national banks under his
supervision. lie leaves tomorrow on
an examining tour.

MEET IN SHAWNEE-POWDERLY
ON PROGRAM
Shawnee April 13. The second con-
vention of the Oklahoma Immigration
and Industrial Development association
will convene here April 21 for a two-
days' session. The meeting will be"
held jointly with the various secre-
taries of the commercial clubs through-
out the state. Besides the secretaries
there will be a large attendance of
those throughout the state who are
interested in Industrial development
and who will address the convention.
Among these is T. V. Rowderly com-
missioner of immigration of the de-
partment of commerce and labor of
tho United States. Mr. Powdeiiy has
for many years been conected with
the department and his presence at
the convention will doubtless aid in
solving some of the industrial ques-
tions which will be discussed at this
meeting.
From among the large number of
other subjects that will come up to
be discussed are: good roads trans-
portation facilities classes of manu-
facturing which pay best in Oklahoma
should cities seeking industrial plants
offer bonuses .and the best methods
of advertising the resources of Okla-
homa. . This association was organized in
October 1907 as a result of a long
felt need of a state-wide organization
which had for its object the develop-
ment of the natural Industrial and
commercial resources of this state to
advertise these resources and to as-
sist in bringing to the state a class of
commercial and industrial people and
aiding ia properly placing them over
the variotH sections in need of capi-
tal arid Industries.
IATS OFF
HERE TOO
"Men rush in where angels fear to
Pfld " rAmorl-orl iViA IJ.M' T n..i.
tread" remarked the Rev. 31. L. But
ler yesterday as he requested the la-
dies to remove their hats. "One ntri
v.
brother told me that he hadn't been
to church In a year just because he
couldn't see over the hats"-said the
minister. Nearly all of the lad ies cnm.
plied with the request.
The theme of Rev. Butler's morning
sermon was "Progress" the discourse
itself in the thought expressed being a
five illustration of the theme. "There
is a3 much religion in cleaning ud
your town making your surroundings
sightly and healthful as there is in
going to a prayer meeting. We
want to clean tip ous premises and
clean up our moral an spiritual lives."
The sermon was oue of Mr. Butler's
best and made a profound imnression
upon tke large congregation.

Comes oat of Committee With Favor-
able Action Progress on Otaer
Measures
Guthrie April 13. Last week s.w
a steady persistent progress in tha
grind of the legislative mill with oc-
casional variations of a rather spec
tacular nature over tne general appro-
priations and anti-gambling bills both
of which were left pending at the end
week.
One of the bills of chief importance
that came out of the committee with
favorable action following in both
houses was that of Representative Jos-
eph Paschal of Roger Mills county
carrying the constitution into effect by
compulsory education.. The measure
has already been gone into at some
length. It requires the attendance of
children between the ages of 8 and 16
years for at least three months ia
each year. The term may be extend-
ed to six months being left optional
with the various local school boards.
Children are to be excused from at-
tendance on account of physical or
mental inability. List of children be-
tween the designated ages must ba
furnished by the district boards to the
city superintendents and the teachers
throughout the district. If the parent
or guardian is unable to furnish the
child with the proper books the county
superintendent of public instruction ia
authorized to extend temporary aid.
Farmers will apreciat.e the impor
tance of the bill by . Representative
Hudson paised by the house requir-
ing railroad companies to fence their
right of way where the abutting land
is used for hog pastures. A uniform
fence is specified and the company i.
required to build it only where the
owner of the abutting land demands it.
There are two new bills providing
for the state printer? one by Senator

of the upper house for some time and

The prospect for an agricultural edu-
cation bill is flattering. Each house
has passed its own measure. The sen-
ate did not like the action of the house
which passed its own measure after
the bill by Senator Franklin hud been
passed by the senate and sent down
to the house for its consideration. The
house bill was promptly reported un-
favorably when it came up in the sen-
