State Treasurer
Tho Caddo county demo-
cracy took occasion to ex-
press through its county
committee Monday its feel-
ing in regard to tho candi-
dacy of tho Hon. James A.
Monofoo for state treasurer.
Any editorial attempt to
add to this commendation
would bo lilo smoothing tho
ico gilding refined gold or
painting tho lily.
It may bo stated however
that Caddo county is much
interested in Mr. Menefeoand
his plucKy and onorgotic
campaign. She wants her
sons to bo known in the land
and is pleased to commend
thnni to her sister counties.
Low Turner in his campaign
for U. S. senator is circular-
izing the two territories with
"A word from back hoine."
Caddo county has provided
ilim Menefee with "a word
from back homo" which will
show very certainly tho light
in which she regards his
candidacy.
For County Clerk
Mr. J'ngh is a Texas dem-
ocrat and came to Caddo
county tho year of the open-
ing. IIo has been a delegate
to every democratic conven-
tion over held in this county
and has put his shoulder to
tho wheel in every democrat ic
campaign. Ho is at present
in the real estate business in
Cement and is well qualified
by ieasoa of his business
cducntioif and experience for
tho ollico for which ho is an-
nounced. liver since ho was old
enough to vote Mr. J'ngh
has taken his ticket straight
after tho manner of a good
democrat and ho conies from
tho banner democratic town-
ship of tho county. IIo is
well and favorably known in
tho county and if elected
promises an efficient and
courteous service to tho
public in tho performance of
tho duties of his oflice.
WHAT OTHERS THINK
Every cilizon of Oklahoma in
or ought to bo det'ply interested
In tho subject of education. The
splendid urhool nyHtem of tho
territory is evidence that tiie
proper eduuution of the youth ih
uppermost in tho minds of tin
people. If reports he true the
district schooio are on a par with
any of the older suites. Thus far
along educational lines our peo-
ple nro up to tho standard. But
there iB another dopartmedt for
which thero is a pressing demand
and that is the hi0'h siioul. Our
stotutof wisely provide! for this
branoh of education ar.d a num-
ber of counties have taken ad
vantago of it by ojtablidhing
county high boIiooIh Cuddo
county is still lacking in this ro-
epeot. It is evident that under
our system of public scho)ls the
ohildren in the country distriots
cannot attain that proffioionoy in
education that is nooessary to
make good oitizons und compet-
ent business men and women.
And for this reason our legisla
ture has wlsoly made provisions
for a more oomploto oduoation by
tho introduction of county high
sohoola but those high schools
oannot be established without the
consent of tho votor of the county
in whioh said sohools Ib to be
established. Tho counties in the
Territory whioh have established
oounty high schools aro scouring
a higher standard of education
for thoir children and aro roap-
ing tho boneflts to bo derived
thorofrom. Caddo oounty oannot
expeotto moot all tho demands of
oduoation and bo on an equality
with her neighboring counties
without a county high school.
Tho timo hascomo whon some
effort along tho lino of scouring a
oounty high school for tho coun-
ty should bo taken. With a popu-
lation of over 30000 thoro is no
oxouso to delay tho mattor any
longer. Tho advantages aro too
numorous to noed any argumont
in favor of this proposition. To
thoBO in tho country who desire
to send their children away to
school it lessens tho oxpons?
koeps tho children near homo
and oroats a friondly rivalry
among ohildren of tho difforent
parts of tho county that is at-
tained in no other way. With
Iobs exponso and timo it propares
students for tho higher branches
of oduoation. It relievos tho
oountry distriots of saholars and
thoroby gives teachers of district
sohools more timo to dovoto to
tho primary grades. In faot tho
advantages of a oounty high
sohool oannot bo over estimated.
Tho exponso of establishing and
maintaining a high sohool is so
small to tho individual taxpayer
and tho return so great to the
ohildren and tho country that
no ono should hesitate to throw
their influence in favor of this
systom of oduoation.
The oounty high eohool at An-
adarko would provide moapB for
a thorough eduoatior. for every
pupil in the county to securo a
thorough training in the branches
not taupht in the district sohools
and would bo a monument to the
intelligence and enterprise of tho
peoplo. It would show to tho
hocnemaker that Caddo county
is up to dato in educational lines
In order to seouio a count
hiuh school it id necessary to
petition tho county commissioners
to oall an election for that purposo
Upon presentation of a petition
signed by one-third of tho num-
ber of votes oa ft at the last elec-
tion the commissioner shall or-
der an elootion upon the proposi
tion and if tho majority of the
proposition a county high sohool
oan be established.
We should be pleased to have
the matter taken up and submitt
ed tc a vote of the people. We
hopo the citizen of this county
and of iho oounty seat who aro
interested in the oduoation of our
youth will take the matter in
hands and secure u county high
sohool for (Jaddo county. Car-

Q. A. R. Encampment
Tho 17th annual Encampment
of tho Grand Army of 'ho Re-
public Department of Oklahoma
will convene at Enid May 22
and remain in session for three
days inclusive. ThiB will bo the
greatest turn out of Veterans of
tho Civil war that has over been
held in Oklahoma and of the
deopost interest to tho Comrades.
Arrangements are being made to
make it a groat sucooss in every
respect. Enid is ambitious as a
town and community to make
the old boys feel that no mistake
was tnud6 when tho Encampment
was looated at this point. She is
already putting on her beet
clothes for this occasion and she
purposes to give tlio boys tho
best timo they have over had in
their lives.
Enid is the easiest town in the
Stato to get into and out of.
Look at tho map nnd she is
growing to beat tho band.
The local Post will leave no
stone unturned to make their
comrades feel glad for tho bal-
anco of thoir days that they at-
tended tho 15th Encampment.
Eat drink (water) and be
merry as often is possible and
that won't be many more timep.
Begin to figure on this now. It
will bo long enough before har-
vest and the three or four days'
ot rest and recreation will make
everybody feel like going to work
with a will when they got back
home. No more propitious time
will ever occur for tho Comrades
to get together comparo notes
and talk matters over.

AN ADVENTURE
WITH INDIANS
By HARTLEY O. PRESTON
Whllo I was In tho employ of the
government shortly after the death of
tho gallant Custer I ran down and cap-
tured an Indian quartcr-breod who ha&
stolen somo things from Fort Larnod.
Ho was rtnprlsoned for sovcral wooks
and somo of his frlonds declared that
I should pay for the Indignity with my
mo.
Tho three whom I bad to fear wore
called Red Earth Half Moon and
Cloudy Day. They drew rations at the
agency and wero supposed to live
within tho limits but as a mattor of
fact wero prowling over tho country
most of tho timo ripe for any mis-
chief. I was thun riding between two posU
about 80 miles apart and tho Indians
know full well whoro to And mo at
any timo within tho week for count-
ing tho halts at each end of the route
tho round trip was mado every sevon
days.
For 25 miles of the journey I had a
stago road and was suro of company.
For 20 miles farthor tho country was
fairly safe betauso of tho huntors
trappers and scouts abdut. Tho dan
gorous portion ot tho Journey was con-
fined to about 26 miles. I believed I
knew whoro tho Indians would attack
mo If they held to their threats. It
was whero tho trail left tho baso of
tho mountain to tako to tho valloy
whero was a canyon making Into the
hill and tho trail ran within 30 feet
of Its mouth before turning to tho loft.
If tho weather was good I always
passed this point In going west at
about nlno o'clock In tho morning. In
going tho othor way I arrived about
sunset and mado my camp In tho
bushes growing around a spring.
I figured that the Indians would
shoot mo down as I rodo up to tho
spring or very soon aftor I had dis-
mounted. It Is tho unwritten law ot
tho frontier that when a man threatens
your Ilfo ovon If ho Is drunk at tho
time you aro expected to protect your-
self by shooting him first. I had wit-
nesses that theso Indians had threat-
ened to wlpo mo out and I was ox-
pected to shoot any ono of them on
sight.
I know they would not act upon their
threat at once as they would oxpect
mo to bo on guard and perhaps havo
an escort. Therefore I waited until
my second trip beforo carrying out
my plans. Tho Indians would reach
tho canyon In the afternoon and a
lookout could seo me flvo miles away.
Half a mllo from tho spot however
was a wooded rldgo to hldo my Im-
mediate approach and this rldgo ran
around to tho canyon.
Moderating tho pace of tho horso to
suit my plans I approached tho valloy
half an hour ahead of my usual timo.
When three miles away I dismounted
tied a string tightly around my horso's
right kneo nnd then advanced leading
him. The cord caused him to Hrap
as If ho had gone lamo suddonly. I
slouched along as careless as posslblo
until I reached tho rldgo. Then I sent
my horso forward alone knowing ho
would halt at the spring and wait for
me.
As soon as he was gono I struck Into
tho timber and circled around to get
as close to the mouth of tho canyon
as iws8lulo. Tho last 200 feet of the
distance I crawled upon hands and
knees.
My horse had stopped by tho way
to catch up a mouthful of grass hero
nnd there and I got my first look Into
the mouth of tho canyon just as ho
approached the spring. For a moment
I was ready to acknowledge that I was
beaten at my lino of reasoning as I
could not seo a redskin but whllo tho
horso was drinking tho would-be assas-
sins canio Into view each with his rlflo
for use.
They waited threo or four minutes
to see why I did not como up and
then wero about to movo forward when
I opened fire. I dropped Half Moon In
his tracks tumbled Cloudy Day over
as ho sprung for shelter and fired
upon but missed Red Earth as ho
dodged behind a great bowlder. Had
he jumped backward into tho canyon
he would havo had all tho advantage
but in his sudden surprise ho mado
threo or four leafs and took shelter bo-
twnnn ma nnrl trtA .n?lni
..-.. ... ...... ... ...... (
I should not have fired upon him had
ho run off and If ho had asked for a
truce I would havo como out had wo
been left undisturbed but tho -horso
presently came to my aid. Tho firing
excited him and he had been trained
to look upon an Indian as an enemy.
He saw the redskin behind a rock and
charged him savagely. Tho fellow
sprang up thus exposing himself nnd
I was waiting for tho opportunity.
Tho threo Indians had como to tho
ambush on hqrsoback. I took their
rifles ponies and other truck to tut
post and turned them ver to tho com-
mandant Ho sent word to tho head
men ot tho trlbo nt tho agency ot what
had happened and threo men came for
tho goods but never ono ot tnera had
any complaint to make it being well
understood that I simply defended my-
self. A Hopeless Case.
"Think of your duty to the public"
said tho earnest man.
"Tho public isn't doing anything for
me" replied tho man with tho acidu-
lous expression.
"Then think of ypur duty to poster-
ity." "Posterity hasn't done anything tor
me cither. Tho only people who have
done anything much for our present
generation are our ancestors. Asd
they didn't make a very good job of

GARNET BACK IN FAVOR.
Inexpensive Stone Now Worn In Nurn-
erous Designs.
..
Tho garnot Is tho Jowel of con-
stancy and fldolity. It Is tho birth-
stono ot January but to judgo from
tho new and lavish displays of this
stono at tho jowolcrs Its uso Is by no
means to bo restricted to tho January
girl.
Its warm red huo harmonises woll
with tho rich dark redB to bo worn
this winter and It is probablo that It
will enjoy a roturn to high favor.
It Is not an expensive jewel. A
bracelet of gold plato solidly incrust-
ed with garnets In squaro sottlngs
costs less than $10 but since Inex-
pensive Jewelry Is no much worn this
piece la not at all hlzarro nor in bad
taste.
Brooches of garnets take the old
fashionod round form although some
show new bird butterfly and floral
doslgns. Garnet dog collars aro ex-
tremely attractive And colffurq combs
and pins thickly incrustcd with these
atones aro very beautiful.
Pin and Ring Case.
- A useful case for hatpins pins and
rings is malo of a pieco of fancy rib-
bon with ono ot soft flannel tacked
on to It. At one end aro sown two
or threo little ploces of chamois
leather scalloped round tho edges.
This Ib to stick tho pins Into. At tho
othor end a llttlo bag is made which
draws together at tho rim and Is in-
tended for rings. Tho hatpins aro
run iuto tho lining and tho wholo caso
Is rolled and tied with ribbon.
