We are still of the opinion that the pumping station and the
power plant should be “merged.”
It is said that a progressive teacher recently demonstrated
rainfall to an intermediate class by means of a sprinkler. Some
day those children may see a real rain. In the meantime Okla-
homa is about the only country on earth that can raise a crop
without rain.
All glory to E. M. Tardy our Lincoln county farmer who has
given Chandler and Lincoln county a high place on the agricul-
tural map of the United States. Tardy’s name goes as a high
class farmer to every community in Uncle Sam’s domain. Lin-
coln county will be heralded as one of the most fertile and pro-
ductive spots on earth. The achievements of Mr. Tardy are of
untold value and he has merited the unstinted praise of our
people.
Gore and Owen, our U. S. senators have both visited the state
legislature. Both made speeches. Both are strong men. It
is generally conceded, however, that Senator Owen made a seri-
ous mistake in trying to meddle with the presidential nomination.
His attack on Governor Harmon was un-diplomatic and, we be-
lieve, unjustified. There are many thousand good democrats in
Oklahoma who believe that Harmon would be an ideal candidate.
Gore made no such blunder.

The newspapers of the United States are up in arms over the
matter of government envelops. The government is seeking to
renew a contract with a Dayton concern whereby envelops are
furnished the consumers printed and at less than the cost of the
stock. On the face of it, it would seem to be a good thing for the
people, but such is not the case. The person who buys but one
to live envelops at a time pays a big price but the rich corporation
who buys thousands, buys them for less tha neost and the dif-
ference is paid by the tax payers (the consumers of tariff taxed
products.) There are many, many, thousands of men in Okla-
homa who do not buy’ a dollars worth of envelops in a year, but
who buys thousands, buys them for less than cost and the dif-
poor devils who are paying for the rich man’s envelops. We say,
cut out this graft altogether. The government can no more fur-
nish envelops at less than cost than it can furnish calico dresses
at less than cost. No senator or representative can hope to re-
ceive the support of the press of this state who does not go
squarely on record against this gigantic graft.
CLEAN' VI’—GET READY EOJi
SPRING
Editor of the Tribune:—Will you
give ine space enough in your paper
to suggest to the good people of
Chandler, that ns spring is near at
hand that we all, everybody, make
an effort to have a regular spring
cleaning up. and put our town in as
near a sanitary condition as possible,
thus warding off any disease that
frequently occur in the springtime,
this is customary in most Oklahoma
towns and it will not only do a whole
lot of good, but my what a differ-
ent effect it will have on strangers
coming to our town. Take Manvel
ave., for instance, it is one of the
prettiest streets in the state, well
kept up and attracts the attention
of every stranger coming into our
midst. But ’o, our back alleys that
are in some parts of town a regular
dumping place, with its closets that
are only cleaned out about every
three or four months are enough to
contract any disease known, it is
just as easy to have a regulated sys-
tem of scavenger work as not to hare
it, and a town the size of Chandler
can have it.
There are plans adopted and in
use In much smaller town, that will
work right here in Chandler. Say
for instance, if our city council and
honorable mayor, who are elected
by and for the good of the people,
would adopt the plan as now carried
out by these smaller town, viz: El-
ect or appoint a city scavenger whose
duty it will be to make a monthly
visit of the alleys in our town and
disinfect every closet in the town,
there is money to be made by some
good man.
The prices charged are 25e for
houses monthly, and where the scav-
enger finds a man who kicks and
wont pay he is ilable to a fine.
This has worked very satisfactor-
ily in a great many towns, and is vir-
tually the same thing. Now as it is,
these houses are only cleaned out
about every three months, so what is
tlie difference, only we are keeping
things in a more healthy condition.
It is just as easy to have and organ-
ize sanitary scavenger system and
far more healthy.
Sulphur and many other towns
use tills plan. Would like to hear
from anyone who is in favor of get-
ting this movement on foot.
A TAXPAYER.
Will a ten year fight made by the Chandler Tribune for the
sale of school lands result in a complete victory? No one news-
paper man has given so much of his time and means toward this
end as has Mr. Smith. The Tribune is the pioneer paper to ad-
vocate the sale of these lands. The first editorial ever written by
Mr. Smith was one favoring the sale of these lands. No one re
joiced more when the bill passed, authorizing the sale of the In-
demnity lands, and relieving Lincoln county of an intolerable
burden. The sale of these lands has shown that our theory was
correct. It has shown that the state realizes twice as much, and
then some, when the lands are sold as when they were leased.
In this issue appears an article from the pen of C. H. Hyde, the
gifted secretary of the Lessees’ Union. Mr. Hyde is one of the
strongest men of the state, and the article reflects him in his
true light. It is a fund of information and was written for the
benefit of the state legislature. It looks like the bill providing
for the sale of all school and public lands might pass and should
it do so this alone will be an imperishable monument to the dis-
cretion and judgment of the present legislature. Should this
bill pass there are many districts who can soon run a six months’
Bchool without any tax levy. We do hope it will pass.

° OBITUARY “
OH1TIARY
The funeral and burial of one of
our most worthy business men took
place on Saturday last, at his former
residence on West 12th street. The
deceased. J. H. Roberts, died Febru-
ary 3, 1911, aged 5f> years, 10
months.
The funeral services were conduct-
ed by the writer at the residence,
and the largest concourse of people
followed the corpse to the cemetery
that I have seen in Chandler. He
leaves a wife and two grown daugh-
ters who sadly lament his demise.
Mr. Roberts came here from Mis-
souri some ten years ago and has
conducted a grocery on Manvel ave.
at the corner of 12th street since
that time.
He was a highly respected citizen,
always accommodating, faithful to
his friends and above reproach, All
who knew him join in the feeling of
bereavement with his loved ones.
May the pale horse and his rider
take a less worthy citizen on his next
visit to Chandler.

SIX REASONS.
1. Depositing your money in the bank makes it absolute-
ly safe from joss by robbers, tire or accident.
2. With a bank account you can pay your bills by check.
The cancelled check is a legal receipt for payment. You
cannot be made to pay the bill twice.
3. A check book makes all your money available at any
moment, and you me never .bothered about making
change.
4. The bank keeps your books. Every deposit and the
amount of the checks you draw are carefully entered in
your pass book by expert bookkeepers, so that you know
where you stand at the end of the month.
5. Nearly every man needs to borrow money at some
time. If you are well known at the bank through your
bank account, it is easy to get accommodation
0. Every chock you write is an advertisement of your
good business habits and solid worth, which has the effect
of raising you in the general esteem of your neighbors.

proved business methods, and to make this Bank wlmt \vc
