Next week is commencement week
In Chandler and the high school fa-
culty and members of the graduating
class are devoting every moment to
■complete preparations for the differ-
ent events which will mark the step-
ping forth into the world of eleven
young men and women.
It is a large class but one thing
which is unusually distinctive of the
class of ’13 is the fac t that seven of
the eleven graduates are boys, usually
the majority rests with the girls.
The first event of the closing days
of this class occurred at the S. W.
Bond home, last Thursday night,
when the juniors tendered a sumpti-
ous banquet to the seniors. The af-
fair was a very pleasnt and success-
ful one.
Tonight the seniors will be the
guests of the faculty at a banquet
which will be served at the home of
Superintendent Clen E. Tope.
On Sunday night Rev. David
Thomas of the Presbyterian church,
•will deliver the baccalaureate sermon
at the opera house.
On Monday night, May 19, will be
rendered the annual class play. This
play, “Prince Charming,’’ was writ-
ten by Miss DeLay and will be pro-
duced under her personal supervision
At the opera house, Friday night.
May 23, will occur the graduation
exercises. Following is the program:

Taking the democratic diagnosis of
the trouble, one might assume that
by lowering the tariff on cattle that
portion of the high cost of living
which is "caused by the high cost of
beef would be remedied by a chang-

reduces the duty on cattle from 2 7.07

Bartlesville, Dewey, I'awhuska and
Tulsa Do Themselves Proud—Prof-
itable and Suecessfal Session of
Editors.
Last Friday morning nearly threa
hundred Oklahoma editors, the ma-
jority of them accompanied by their
wives, were gathered at Bartlesville
for the annual meeting of the Okla-
homa Press association. The morn-
ing of the first day w’as taken up with
the regular business of the associa-
tion. In the afternoon special cars
took the crowd to the smelters and
Immense iron foundry. From here
the cars transported the visitors to
the little, but bustling and thriving
town of Dewey. Here we found a
little city where the people were
united ln every movement looking
towards public Improvement. Joe
Bartles, a young millionaire, is the
ofllclul town booster and he has ev-
ery resident as a supporter. Here
we were taken to the Immense cement
works, and, as a special favor, a
hugh blast was set off In the quarry,
which threw up or tore up a quarter
of an acre of rock In an Instant. At
6 o'clock the citizens tendered us a
sumptuous and elaborately arranged
banquet in the corridors of the Dew-
ey high school building, which build-
ing by tlie way, is one of the most
modern and best equipped in the
state. In the evening a grand ball
was given In Bartles hall.
Saturday morning and until 4
o’clock in the afternoon was taken
up with business of the association.
(’. M. Kates of Claremore was elected
as president and — Bronson was re-
elected as secretary-treasurer. Ard-
more was selected as the meeting
place for next year.
At 4 o’clock it was reported that
nine of the visiting editors had been
arrested by the town dog catcher and
the entire male portion of the assem-
bly marched to the auditorium of
the Elks club to witness the trial of
the culprits—it was rich. All visit-
ing editors were made honorary mem«
hers of the “Houn Dawgs.”
Saturday night the society people
of Bartlesville gave a reception and
ball to the visitors at the country
club. A feature of this occasion,was
the maypole dance given by a num-
ber of Bartlesville misses. The ball
and reception was an elaborate af-
fair and greatly enjoyed by the edi-
tors and their wives.
At 9 o’clock Sunday morning a
special train carried the crowd to the
beautiful little city of Pawhuska.
Arriving there we found automo-
biles and carriages waiting to carry
us on a sight-seeing trip over the city
and later on, to the large Indian vil-
lage where the Osages put on one of
their famous stomp dances.
At 1 o’clock all gathered at the
Indian school building where the
ladies of Pawhuska, headed by the
“Mothers Club" served a banquet fit
for the gods. Then, accompanied by
nearly every citizen of the city we
marched to the depot where a si»ecial
train waited to transport us to Tulsa.
Right here we want to say that every
city in Oklahoma could take pointers
from Pawhuska. The good citizens
of that city vied with each other in
extending hospitalities. The town

Every seat in the opera house should

GETTING MORE REEF.
There are two classes of citizens
who may disagree with a tariff bill.
One class Is the selfish interest
enjoying a special privilege of pro-
tection which does not desire the
competition of an imported product.
The other class, although having no
direct motive for opposition, doubts
whether a change ln a tariff law will
produce a remedy.
As soon as the country discovers
■however that cattle are not produc-
ed in the halls of congress they will
see the point in the argument that
the way to get cheaper beefsteak is
to raise more beef cattle at home.—
