THE KAKIK CORN SPECIAL.
Shawnoc business men are enter
ing heartily Into the proposition to
make Wednesday, November 27, th
day the groat Rock Island Kafir Corn
Special is to be in Shawnee, a blR
bargain salos day in order to in-
duce the farmers for miles around
to visit Shawnee, hear the splendid
corps of speakers who will be with
the train and enjoy tho information
and benefit:! that are so freely offer-
ed.
It was no trouble for Shawnee to
turn out a crowd of five thousand
people to hear a talk on political
theories for ten minutes by Theodore
Roosevelt or to gather ten thousand
people In tho park to hear a thirty
minute talk from the peerless Bryan
on political hopes and prospects
Plain old Kaflrcorn Joe has a mes-
sage for our people, farmers and
business men alike that is of a
great deal moro personal importance
to them than political speeches, and
the attendance on November 27,
should break all records. With prac-
tically every merchant and business
man making important reductions
in prices for tho day, and with rep-

THE STATE SCHOOL QUESTION.
The Morning News prints In other
columns today a statement In sup-
port of tho maintenance of all of
the state schools which Governor
Cruce would have abolished. The
question as to whether certain of
these schools should be abolished
or maintained immediately become?
a matter r>f great Interest and one
that is likely to be extensively dis-
cussed during the next few months.
It Is a question of vital importance
to the people of Oklahoma and one
that should receive careful, thought-
ful consideration Governor Crucc,
as the leader In tho crusade for re-
trenchment and economy and for
the aboltUsn of certain state insti-
tutions has his partisans who moy
follow him without much thought or
investigation tor themselves. Su-
perintendent Wilson as tho cham-
pion of tho schools may be fol-
lowed by some In a similar manner
There Is a danger that factional
politics, almost as much as the
actual merits of the controversy
may Influence the final result. This
ought not to be. The people are
called upon to determine a vital
question of state policy. The issue
Is not what Governor Cruce favors
or whet Superlutendent Wilson
favors, but what Is best for the state
of Oklahoma.
The Morning News has always
given Governor Cruce credit for a
sincere desire to do his best for
the state of Oklahoma, but we have
not always been able to agree with
hl Judgment. While we are sure
Superintendent Wilson has rendereil
the state great service, while we
are sure the educational system Is
upon a higher plane and freer from
political Intrigue than at the time
bs became the head of the depart-
ment of education, we are not pre-
pared to go the whole distance with
him and say no school should U'

THE GOVERNOR'S PRUNING
KNIFE.
Tho governor suggests th« radical
use of the knife In the matter of
ihe elimination of certain offices.
It the main ho is on safe ground.
He will probably find that the state
is not yet ready for the abolition
of the township officers. Most of
the peoplo of Oklahoma have come
from those states in which town-
ship governments are firmly estab-
lished, and they will not readily
abaudou this system of local gov-
ernment. Undoubtedly there can bo
a consolidation of county offices
along the lines suggested by the
governor. With his plan carried
out we would have one judge instead
of two diatrlct judges and a su-
perior judge. We would have one
county clerk, who would be register
of deeds, clerk of the district court
rnd clerk of the county court, with
the clerical help nrcessarv to the
conduct of these offices employed by
the county commissioners at salaries
fixed by th* county commissioners.
We would Lave the office of county
treasurer consolidated with the of-
fice of Bheriff or with the office of
county assessor, tho county commis-
sioners employing and prescribing
the pay of the deputies and assist-
ants In these offices. There is
room for some of this consolidation,
but there will be a great deal of
doubt whether it should go so far.
It would scom entirely feasible for
tho county treasurer's office to bo
consolidated with that of the sheriff
ov assessor. But there Is a ques-
tion as to jvhether It would be best
to consolidate the offices of clerk
of the county court, clerk of tho
district court, county clerk and reg-
ister of dteds Into one. There
might at least be two where there
are now four, with one clerk of
courts and one man performing the
duties of couuty clerk and register
of deeds.—Guthrie Leader.

The speakers include such well
known specialists in agriculture and
farm demonstration work, as H. M
Cottrell, Rock Island lines; John
Field, Oklahoma Farm Journal; W.
D. Bentley, State Agent; Geo. L.
Bishop, Representative Western Ok-

County Agent of the Farmers' Co-
operative Demonstration Work of
the U. 8. Department of Agriculture,
and W. H. Harrison, Secretary,
State Bankers' Association.
This is probably the most careful-
ly worked out effort ever put on in
Oklahoma iu the interest of tho
most vital question concerning pro-
gress and prosperity In this state,
namely, regular and profitable agri-
cultural production
It is an effort to make effective
a standard system of farming,
adapted to the peculiar climatic and
soil conditions of this state.
The plan is to put in the hands
of the farmer a text book, based on
experience and experiment, not in
Icwa, or Illinois, but in Oklahoma.
It is the practical doctrine of diver-
sification and rotation of crops, re-
volving around tho invincible, drouth-
resistant, kaflrcorn as the never-
failing money crop, the equally sure
feed producer for the horse power
with which to farm, and likewise
tho certain and basic prliyciple of
livestock production. For ultimate
wealth to tho state and profits to
the individual farmer, the real
money is in shipping livestock in-
stead of selling grain
In this educational campaign,
kaflrcorn is made a sort of a "lead-
er" much as your local grocer
sometimes sells twenty pounds of
sugar for a dollar to get the public
to appreciate what a complete stock
and what a satisfactory store ser-
vice all-around his establishment
represents in serving the entire gro-
cery needs of a family. Kaflrcorn,
io farming in Oklahoma, is as staple
sugar to the household; hence
the syBtem-of farming presented will
be as complete and as satisfactory
solution of the problem of farm-
ing successfully, as has ever been
offered to the farmers of this state.
The text hook of this safe system
of farming has been condensed into
a capsule of less than two hundred
words, and so simplified that a six-
teen-year-old boy can understand.
Had such n system of fanning been
followed in t^is state during the
past three years, Oklahoma would
not have lost over seventy-five mil-
lion dollars simply betting that corn
would grow on any kind of land.
This is but the loss on one item,
one kind of crop, and in measuring
tho probable total loss on all crops,
tthich must have been twice or
three times that amount in farming
Oklahoma on the "wrong system"
as against the "right system," we
are not taking into account the
money we failed to get out of the
crop that never came, but we are
estimating simply the dead loss of
the cost of this tremendously waste-
ful experience. This is by far the
biggest economic question before
the state today—it is the funda-
mental question, the solution of
which will carry with it the solu-
tion of that important common issue
which recently enjoye'd a state-wide
agitation—taxes, gentlemen, taxes.
Now, Mr. Banker, Mr Merchant,
Mr. Real Estate Man, and Mi
Towuaon in General, will you put
your shoulder to the wheel of pro-
gress and when the real thing is
being put right up to you without
cost, save the cost of co-opi rative
effort—which your common sense
telle you !s the only way we can
hope to get anywhere in working
cut this and ever other great pro-
llem for the good of all Oklahoma.
It is np to us fellows in town to
tako the initiative in this great
cause for permanent prosperity for
Oklahoma, and do it in the interest
of our own pocket books, to talk
plain. It is up to us to reason thesr
things out with the farmer, take a
Kenuine interest in helping fatten
his pocket book, aye, fight out these
issues with him, if necessary. It is
just as much our business to seo
that Oklahoma is farmed upon a
safe and sane system ns it is tho
business of the farmer
Of necessity, the prosperity of
town and country alike are bound
up in a mutual bond.

Just What Happens When an Express
I Train la Ruahlng Over the Line-
Marvel le That Rail Is Not

Have you any idea of the strain to
which a steel rail le subjected today?
Let us consider
one for a mo-
ment in the time
of Its greatest tor
ture. and see
The express is

drawn by two en-
gine* Th# larg-
est weighs 100

carried on the eli
driving wheels,
which means al-
most li tons to
a wheel! That
means 18 tons of
weight Impinging
for a flying Instant upon a rail sur-
i ace perhaps no more than an Inch
square and then moving forward all
lie Ime. a succession of whirling
blows from a 13-ton hammer, says a
writer In the Metropolitan. If the
train la going 30 miles an hour, an
imaginary square inch has l-628th part
of a second In which to receive the
blow, wince under It, distribute the
terrible force of it through Its elastic
elements to the surrounding mass of
he rail, brace itself to help distrib-
ute stresses that are being set upon
djacent surfaces and sigzagglng back
forth In all sorts of ways through the
content of the rail, and then almost
nstantly lift Its devoted head to re-
ceive the blow of the next driving
wheel. If the train Is going (10 miles
an hour Instead of 30, this all has to
be received, withstood and passed on
in 1 1,056th part ®f a second.
And yet, this ian't all that la hap-
pening to the nervea of the rail. This
s only taking account of the compres-
sion strains. There la another set of
strains, for these big driving wheels
are pulling th« train. They have
raugh* hold of the rails Just aa your
uands grip the rope in a tug-of war,,
and they take a fresh hold every frac-
tion of a second. The tendency la to
pull the top or bead off the rail, to
pull it all to pieces. It la the business
of the rail to stick together, head and
web and figure, in every single and
separate molecule with all the tenacity
of which ateel la capable. But we
have stated only one-half the tension
strain. This atrain is reversing all
(he time, for while the huge drivers
are pulling one part of the rail toward
them they are pusning another part
away from them. This plucking and
spurning, hauling and kicking, tension
and compression goes on continuous-
ly. Complete reversing from com-
pression to tension or back again
lakes place with every half turn of a
driviug wheel, and at a frightfully
rapid rate. The marvel la that the
rail Is not ground to powder.
