THE LOCAL OPTION MOVEMENT.
Tho press of the state appear to bo practically unanimous in the belief
that the present local option movement will not get very far, but will
meet the fate of similar movos In the past.
Many of the editors are avowedly opposed to the measure that the
United Civics association proposes to initiate, while others discredit the
move because of their settled conviction that it can not be successful.
While the Newa-Herald doeB not agree with all of the Bentlments ex-
pressed, the following editorial from tho Oklahoman Is quoted as being
typical of the middle ground takon by some ot the larger publications
In tch state.
"Another effort 1b to be made, according to the announcement of tho
United Civic association, to repeal the prohibitory feature of the state
constitution and give us local option and high license Instead. Petitions
are to be placed In circulation at once with a view lo securing tho requisite
number of petitioners that the question may bo submitted to popular vote
at the fall election.
It Is now seven years since constitutional prohibition was voted upon
us, nau on the whole wo have gotten along fairly well. The dlrepredic-
lions of calamity incident to the banishment of the saloon have not been
realized. But decent regard for the facts Impels teh admission that con-
stitutional prohibition prohibits only in Bpots. There is not a town ot
5,000 people in the state where the traffic is not carried on more or less.
In the smaller cities und towns, and In the rural rcglonB, the law 1b gener-
ally effective.
"In the judgment of the Oklahoman we would enjoy equally as effect-
ive prohibition throughout the state and escape a lot of needless odium
Incident to lax enforcement ot the law under a system of high license
and local option. Wherever dominant sentiment was in favor of prohibi-
ts we would not only see the saloon outlawed, but would also find the
peace officers enforcing the law agalnBt the traffic, becauso It would be
the popular thing to do. Wherever thlB sentiment wns lacking we would
have the regulated saloon In the place of the bootleggery and second-
story dive. •
"But the Oklahoman has not the remotest Idea that the people of the
state are going to repeal this constitutional feature. Sentiment 1b develop-
ing in favor of the law rather than against it. The general run of people
are not much concerned a*bout fine-spun theories of government insofar
as they affect admitted evils. What they are after is results; and they
have come to know that constitutional prohibition checks the traffic; and
that is the thing they are after.
"Furthermore, the east side of the state Is placed in the arid belt
by congressional enactment for a period of twenty-one years from the
date of statehood, and the courts have uniformly upheld the validity of the
act. We are powerless to repeal this legal decree by any action on our
part, and are not apt to induce congress to reverse Itself.
"In the light of this situation it is improbable that the people on
the east side of the state will vote to make the west Bide 'wet' while they
are doomed to remain 'dry.' Commercial reasons alone, If nothing else,
will forbid It. It is not a question of constitutional prohibition or local
option with them; It 1b Blniply one t>f business self-preservation.
"So we do not look to see the local option movement get very far.
Two or three futile efforts have been made since statehood to repenl
the constitutional provision and each time the majority in favor of retain-
ing it has grown larger. There appears no likelihood of altering It so long
as the east side of the state is foredoomed to prohibition by congressional
enactment, and we are not sure that much of a chance would exist e\en
if things were different."

Summer Schools for County Supcrin-

FOR COUNTY JUDGE.
Summer schools and conferences
for county superintendents, rural
school supervisors and rural teachers
are to be held during the summer
session for 1914 at the state universi-
ties of Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia,
Louisiana, Minnesota, Montana, Ne-
braska, Wisconsin, Wyoming, Ten-
nessee, and in seevral other states,
and at the state agricultural colleges
and Btate normals of Kansas, Iowa,
Ohio, Maryland, North Carolina, South
Carolina, North Dakota, Mississippi,
and in a considerable number of other
states.
The idea of a summer sshool for
county superintendents Is compara-
tively new. Last year the stiite hoard
of education held a one-week summer
school for parish superintendents.
The session was at the Btate univers-
ity at Baton Rouge, under the imme-
diate direction of the state superin-
tendent of public instruction and the
state supervisor of rural schools. In
addition to the parish superintend-
ents, all assistant superintendents
were present, and also the teachers
of agriculture In the twenty-eight ag-
ricultural high schools of the state.
These teachers have charge of the
boys' agricultural clubs in their coun-
ties. There were also present the
teachers of domestic science in the
same schools, who are required to
supervise the girls' canning clubs in
their respective counties in addition
to their high school work. A feature
of the summer school was the in-
struction given in rural education by |
the state rural Bchool supervisor, and '
by the state agent In charge of agri-j
cultural club work. A representative j
of the Jeanes fund, part of which is
expended in the state for engro edu-|
cation, discussed the problem of ne-
educatlon, and a specialist in rural
education from the United States
bureau of education presented some
ot the phases of rural supervision In
Its broader aspects.
Several other states hold one, two.
or three-day meetings of their county
superintendents. These are confer-
ences, however, and not schools in
which definite instruction is given. A
school one week in extent, similar to
that of Louisiana, was held during
the summer of 1913 for the county
inspectors In the Province of Ontario,
Canada, by the provincial department
of education. The state teachers' col-
lege at Greeley, Colo., gave special
work for county superintendents on
rural problems in the summer school
during the 1913 session. A program
covering one week aws arranged, to
which county superintendents not en-
rolled In the regular summer school
were invited. For four years tho
Massachusetts agricultural college has
been offering special work in ele-
mentary agriculture and in rural eco-

CARRANZ.V IN THE LIMELIGHT.
General Carrama of Mexico is very distinctly In the composite eye
of the country just at present. He has watched the progress of the medi-
ators at Niagara much as a child watches a companion building a castle
of cards, waiting for the opportune moment to blow the perilous and un-
certain structure down.
Just at the moment when things seemed brightest and when the three
foreign representatives were confident that a satisfactory agreement could
be reached, came the ultimatum from the constitutionalist couimandet.
C-arranza will never consent to have th internal affairs of Mexico settled
by aliens. Technically he is right; morally, he is wrong.
It is of no earthly interest to Chile, Argentina or Brazil to terminate
the hostilities between the United States and Mexico, other than a Ohrts-
tion desire to prevent further bloodshed. They lu not caer so much fot*
either Carranza or Huerta, but they do care for the bledmg wounds of
this unforunate republic. This Is why the three South American republics
tendered their services in ttie hope that BOine agreement might be arrived
at which would eventually lead to an adjudication of the troubled affairs
in stricken Mexico.
The Onlted States does not want war; Mexico can not afford war
wtih the United StateB. This is the situation In a nutshell. Forced to a
point where we muit fight, we will. The American people are patient
and peace-loving. They will accept a great deal and tolerate seeming
insults from an impoverished republic, just as a big dog Ignores the snarls
of a puppy. But there muBt ben an end of all things, and If Oarranzn
sees fit to ignore aU efforts of peace ho will find that he and his people
will be the sufferers in the end.
On the other hand. General Carranza's position must not be misunder-
stood. He rcsentt outside interference. He haB up to date almost accom-
plished theonnlhllatlon of Huerta, and his position Is simply this: "HandB
off and let me finish him. Leave me and my people alone, and after I
have run Huerta out of Mexico I will take care of the rest"
Seemingly Senator Vardaman of Mississippi was right. The United
State* Is belittling Itself In doing police duty for other nations.—Commer-
cial Appeal.

THAT GET-
TOGETHER SPIRIT
nomies and sociology for rural school
superintendents in regular summer
school courseB. In addition, the in-
stitution has held each year a coun-
try-life conference at which much
time has been devoted to rural school
problems. A special effort has been
made each year to secure the attend-
ance of rural school superintendents.
The state normal school at Kirksvillo,
Mo., held during the summer of 1913,
a conference for county superin-
tendents of the twenty-five counties
composing the normal school district
were especialy invited. hTe week
consumed by the conference was de-
voted principally to a discussion of
ways and means of making the work
of the county superintendents more
efficient.
