may have been in Mr. Wilson's mind
that he is the sort that most forc»a-

Stuck his head in our office door
an aai'd: "Some o’ the people out
our way don’t like th' Honorable
Old's new 'Stock law.' Well, th*
deer peepul are a gettin' what th-v
voted for, so guess they'll jist hare
t’ grin an’ bear it.”
Governor Robertson's notion of
cleaning up the state's institutions
for unfortunates is to give a lady re-
porter for a sensational newspaper j
letter to the superintendent request-
ing that she be given a Job. The
letter carries an assumed name.
This may be one way of putting the
Williams administration to the bail
but it is mighty poor business.
There are state officials elected to do
this dirty work and the Job should
not be put upon a woman.
The folks over the state who par
the bills will be pleased to know that
the republicans in the legislature vot-
ed solidly agaiust the raise of salar-
ies for state officers and employes.
For this increase in taxes place the
blame where it belongs—on the dem-
ocratic machine.
GKXEHOUK TO STATE SCHOOLS.
The lower house of the legislatuie
has passed bills carrying more than
$5,000,000.00 for new buildings, re-
pairs and equipment at the various
educational institutions. Of this
amount the state university gets
$133.21)1 and the A. & M. College
$395,990. For the first time in the
history of the state the university
received more than $100,000 more
than its president asked for And
no college president is ever modest
in asking a plenty.
This ultra-liberal policy for insti-
tutions for higher learning and the
niggardly one usually employed to-
ward the rural schools, where, after
all. more than ninety per cent of the
young folks receive their only school-
ing, came in for severe criticism
from farmer members and others in-
terested in country schools. During
the discussion it was clear that the
rural members of the law-making
body could talk neither as long or as
loud as the other fellows.
Some time this country will wake
up to the fact that it is the education
of the masses that make for depend-
able citizenship Educational op-
portunity made easy of access to the
average child is the solution of many
future difficult problems.
leaving Pryor entirely "off the map.'
and placing in preference the road
leading past hia ranch on Grand riv-
er. or course, the members of the
legislature, believing that the honot
able (ild represented the people of
his county, were willing to take his
word in regard to the needs and
wants or this locality, and would
have allowed it to stand his way
But meanwhile a bunch of our
live-wire road boosters got busy
communicated with the people along
the Jefferson Highway front Pryor to
Hig Cabin, and the outcome of the
conference was a determined commit-
tee which boarded the train Sunday
night, hound for the state capital.
This committee representing the in-
terests of Mayes county, purpose to
put a "crimp" in the Honorable (’.Id’s
pretty little scheme to place hi3
ranch on the rock road from Vinlta
to Muskogee.
The delegation was composed of
Ex-Chief S. H. Mayes, Hon. J. How-
ard Langley, Judge A. C. Brewster,
C. L. Samuel, C. B. Markham, T. i
Bowling, J. C. Hogan. Otis. O. Sny-

Job” and were doing what they could
to stave off legislation until help ar-
rived.

It nearly killed him towards the last,

a year in advance on his Republican

High state officials in whom the law
vests the authority to care for and
protect the inmates of that institu-
tion, have deliberately neglected that
duty to the end that many of those
unfortunate enough to be incarcerat-
ed there have been debauched and
diseased.

More than twice as much mono)
was appropriated by the legislature
for a cottage, row sheds and imple-
ment storage sheds at the institute
for feeble minded at Enid than was
appropriated for the assistance of
consolidated rural schools. Doubt-
less the buildings are needed ut the
Enid institution and the appropria-
tion a just one. But it does seem
reasonable to suppose that the wel-
fare of the hundreds of thousands of
hoys and girls who get their only
schooling in the country should have
had at least as much consideration
at the hands of the legislature as j
few cows and some implements.

THE WOMAN'N VOTE.
The unspeakable scandul unearth-
ed at the State Industrial School, or
Home, for Girla at Oklahoma City,
has suggested to many politicians
the probable attitude of the women
voters in the next election toward
party that is responsible for such
conditions as found there. Some
members of the party in power have
Indicated alarm that the party might
be rebuked when the women get
the polls, but the members of the ma-
chine are apparently unconcerned
to the attitude of the women, assut.t
ing that eacli married woman will
vote as her husband does and the un-
married ones will vote as the mem-
bers of the immediate family do-
and that after all, the only effect the
women will have in politics will be to
make the total vote about twice as
large.
But those who have carefully ob-
served the tendency of the women to
perform independently are not so
sure about this. They argue that
women are not so politically partisan
that they are going to blindly follow
the lead of a few democrats that
have run the affairs of this state with
such reckless disregard of efflcleney
and economy during the past ten
yearH that they are going to forgot
who are responsible for the expend)
turf of the millions of needless dol
lars in operating the affairs of the
Rtate government.
Women are not wasters. They are
home huilderR and certainly, they are
economizers. They can he depended
upon to vote what they practice in
their daily lives.

PRYOR'S "TWELVE" GET RI MY.
The Hepiihlinm is mighty glad t
see Pryor show symptoms of waking
up. It almoHl required a cyclone
tho', to bring about the awakening.
Pryor now has a committee that
masquerades under the subrequit of
"The Twelve Apostles.”
The "Twelve” is composed of C.
L. Samuel, president; Harry Seaton,
vice-president* Forrester Brewster,
secretary; Thos. J. Harrison, treas-
urer; J. Howard Langley, Ed Boul-
din. S. H. Mayes, W. F. Woodward,
T. C. Bowling, Dr. J. H. Quinn, E. M
Bowers, C B. Markham. Could you
imuginc a more wide-awake, reprt*
aentatlve hunch of boosters?
The awakening was caused by th-
antics of one, the honorable Gideon
Morgan, political cut-up of the east
side, who, hy some mistaken idea on
the part of Mayes County Democracy
got himself elected to the state legis-
lature last fall.
First. this tuis-repi 1‘sentative of
the people of Mayes county tried to
"put one over” in regard to the pro-
posed new court house for Mayes
county, whirl) would have required a
re-location vote" before a court
house could be built Judge O. H.
Graves ami Capt. Harve Langley
were sent to Oklahoma City and they
succeeded In putting a "crimp" in
this little plan of (lid’s by having th
hill killed and re-en'bodied in a gen-
eral hill covering the entire state,
effacing the objectionable clauses it
contained.
Next thing we knew, our Hon. Gid
who has a ranch on Grand river,
nortl) of Kalina, endeavored to
change the routing of the road run-
ning through Mayes county, in the
proposed fifty million dollar hurd
surfaced roads bill. His little plan
was to have It run straight south
from Vinita, past his ranch, put Ka-
lina on, then run east to the corner
south of the Orphans' Home, then on
south to Muskogee, leaving Mayes
county’s capital out in the cold.
This latest prank caused our
"Twelve Apostles" to get busy at
once They organized and sent a
delegation til the state capital Sun-
day evening, In an endeavor to put
the solons straight in the matter.
Verily, Mayes county might better
afford to pay her representative to
stay at home entirely, and do with-
out a duly authorized representative
In the legislature and yet, the Hon.
Gideon is consistent, all right, for
didn't he promise us a few years ago,
that If the time ever come that he
could do so, he would "swat” Pryor
good and plenty but he pulled the
wool over the eyes of the voters In
the last election by promising to

The Scli<Nil (omli-n Army.
The motto of the U. K. School (Jar-
den Army is "A Garden (or Every
Child and Every Child in a Garden.
The work of this army is being
stressed all over the United Ktates.
JT W. Bridges, who is dirertor for
this state . says: "The shortage of
food in Europe and the high cost of
in America make It important
that every boy and girl have a gar-
den this year The U. K. .School Gar-
den Army in not demobnlized. Its
work Is as important as ever. Its
soldiers must help feed the world.
Food is one of the greatest factors in
peace as well as in war. School
hoys anil girls must help the battle-
torn world climb hark to peace and
prosperity. Food experts tell us
that Europe is on the vergeof hunger
and starvation.."
The teachers of Mayes county have
been asked to enroll their pupils in
'his army, and send number in each
school to Mr. Bridges who will then
supply them with their Insignia.
These gardens are to be cultivated
at home, and children are requested
to write their Congressman for Heeds
and bulletins on gardening will be
sent from the Bureaii of Education
on request.
