THE NEW JERUSALEM
There is much Ulk in the
papers now over the went action
(f the State Legislature in
appointing the commit ee to ii
vestigute the advisability of
locating the State Capitol en-
tirely outside of any town on
ground to be acquired Uy the
state-
The question was brought to
our mind tins week by J. M/
Gardner of Union Township who
is an enthusiastic advocate of
the plan.
It is likely if stmh a plan was
adopted that the Git •. “ I'm* New
Jerusalem” w mid be located in
Lincoln County, (irst, I e ause
it is in the center ol tue slate
and second because Cieie are
whole townships of Indemnity
School Land that could ho con-
demned without, much tumble
and with atis duiel.v inert, ti i
to tile land. It is probable that
the Capital would lie built in
either South Wichita or Bryan
Townships.
The argument in favor of it is
that a model city laid out on the
bp ad foundations could he built.
Tout the land would be survey
ed. public building places re-
served, parks and broad streets
laid out, and in fact proper foun-
dations made for a large, well
watered, well drained, modern
city.
S . • i \ | i ■ I Pa n it r ‘served
for public bu ldings would ie
sold for enormous prices and the
state enriched by many millions
of dollars. Enthusiasts declare
that the revenue from the sale of
lots would build a magnificent
(. apitol Building and every other
public building, including Chari
table ind penal institutions; with-
out cost tc the tax payers.
The Legislature has already
appointed the Committee and.
they will report to the next
session of the legislature. The
scheme is said to have the in
dorsem >nt of Governor Haskell.
d'he argument against it is
that it would injure Guthrie,
Oklahoma City, Shawnee, Chan-
dler and the small towns around
it and that the State should not
go into any business that will
damage a lot of citizens who
have invested their money in the
towns in good faith. The (level
opment of the project will be
watched with hit,orest.
AN OUTRAGE
The recent law passed allow-
ing tlie School Land Commission
to release the school lands for
one year without appraisment at
a 25 per cent advance may he all
right but if 25 pec cent be placed
on all leases it is an outrage.
In this County in the Indemni
ty lands the lessees should not
be subjected to this law on uc
c mnt ot the di advantages under
which they labor. There may
be individual claims that should
l e raised but certainly not the
w hole Kickanoo.
Iiis dog last Sunday brings the
question before the public.
There are some good and
valuable dogs in Chandler and
this was one of them. There
are more worthless curs than is
good for public peace and salty
and they prejudice people
against dogs. We suggest that
the tax he raised, .the law strict-
ly enforced and taxed dogs pro-
tected.

During the last primary cam-
paign, I had the honor to support
t~tVi”' Col. Roy Hoffman in his candi-j
dacy for the United States sen-1
ate. I believed then and believe
now that if Hoy Hoffman was in
the United States senate from
Oklahoma, that our state would
be represented well, and that, he
would make a record which
would reflect credit and honor
upon himself and his state. He
was beaten at the primary by the
Hon. Thomas P. Gore, who has
made a record that every Okla
homa can well be pr ud of. In
Mark Everett was one of those re
porters who are born, not made. Prom
his earliest copy-carrying days he had
made the public world his own. study
iflg its -characters and exploring its
sinister ways until Its atmosphere had
become tils very breath of life. Its
monotonous routine never dulled his
enthusiasm; Its work, however Slav
ish. never found him conscious of
fatigue. When he reported “nothing
doing” on a story it meant just that.
Then, one summer, Mark went away
for his vacation, it was the first time
he had ever done so—just a two-
weeks’ jaunt on the lakes; but when
he came hack he was changed. He
had seen a new world, and somehow
the luster of the old seemed dimmed.
Former haunls lost their lure, and he
would sit for hours at headquarters,
with his feet on the press table, and
dream—dream—dream.
Those cold, blue northern waters;
• he fragrant freshness of the winds;
the green-ribbed shores that glinted
in the mist-strained light—how he had
vnjoyed them all! Such delightful peo-
ple, too! And she—ah, she was best
of all! Her eyes—how beautiful—
deeper and bluer than the lakes them-
selves! Sometimes they were veiled
is with the moisture of tears; once
jr twice he had seen them glow with
fhe sunlight of smiles. She had
ipoken scarcely a dozen words to him
yet the memory of her had lifted wom-
anhood to loftier heights of reverence,
Nothing even the commonest police
oourt drab with an inviolability that
transformed her from a jest to an ob-
ject of pity. It had been all too brief
—he might never see her again.
Just such a dream it was that the
zity editor interrupted one afternoon
ibout a month after Mark’s return.
“Here's a tip jrom Detroit on a big
story.” he snapped over the telephone.
'Morgan, the defaulting bank cashier,
is believed to be hiding here. Detec-
tives have found a letter mailed to his
relatives from lilt Denman place. Get
out on it right away and play it for
a hlg exclusive!”
All of Mark’s news facilities leaped
to quick responsiveness, and his blood
tinged with the love of excitement as
he set out upon his quest. And luck
was with him, for the proprietress of
the boarding house at 314 Denman

Melitz.
Mr. Freeman went down near
of past police history.
"It won’t get you anything to throw
me down on this,” Mark urged sig-
nificantly, when she denied having
| any guest named Morgan. Then she
suddenly remembered that a man on
the third floor by the name of Stephens
had received letters from Detroit—he
might be the person sought.
Mark promptly found the door,
which, after an Interval of knocking,,j jj
was cautiously opened by a small, pale ' n
man with iron gray hair.
"How do you do. Mr. Morgan?” be-
gan Mark, curtly, pushing his way into
the room.
The man started back in speechless
fright, his face blanching befpre the
reporter’s accusing gaze. "'.Vho are
you?” he finally gasped.
"I’m a detective, come to take you
back to Detroit, so you’d better make a
clean breast of the whole business.”
Mark advanced a step—then stopped
as if paralyzed. He closed his eyes
convulsively, but when he opened
them the vision was still there—not as
in his dreams and memories—ye* un
mistakalily she.
A wild fear burned in her widened
eyes, as she halted in the doorway of
the adjoining room.
“Mr. Everett!” she murmured. Then
she dropped quickly on her knees be-
side the oid man, who was now sitting
with his face hurled In his quivering
hands. “What Is it, papa?” she
asked tremulously.
That same sense of guilt and shame
which he had pictured in the other
man’s heart now overwhelmed Mark.
”1—I didn’t know he was your father,”
he faltered. “You told—you see, I
thought your name—” He hesitated.
Her object helplessness unnerved him.
If he could only spare her the humili-
ation of knowing that he knew.
“I was looking for some one else
and—nnd made a mistake,” he con-
tinued, in firmer, strangely tender
tones. “But this is no place for you.
You and your father must leave here
at once. Let me help you, won’t you?”
And the girl wearily lifted two Im-
potent little hands to him.
Before the three passed out into the
twilight, Mark stepped close to the
Wicherly woman. “If you want me to
forget some things I know,” he whis-
pered, “just forget that these people
were eve ( e.”
