AN EDITOR'S EAST LIFE
It is easy to be an editor, the
Norman Bulletin says. To run a
newspaper successfully a man has
merely to be able to write poems,
discuss the tariff and money ques-
tions, umpire a baseball game,re-
port a wedding, saw wood, de-
scribe a fire so the readers will
shed their wraps, make $1. do
the work of $10., shine at a dance,
measure calico, abuse the liquor
habit, test whiskey, subscribe to
charity, go without meals, attack
free silver, wear diamonds, in-
vent advertisements, sneer at
of any nation that will allow it to snobbery, overlook scandal, ap-
exist long enough. ' \ praise babies, delight pumpkin
raisers, minister to the afflicted,

One of our U. S. Senators ad-

and allowing white women to
vote in their stead. Still another
believes in allowing all white
women to vote, barring negro
women. Some believe the 15th
amendment will have to be repeal
ed before women get the ballot.
It does look like a measley shame
to allow the "coons” to vote but
not allow our mothers, wives and
daughters to vote.

"If the farmers of Oklahoma in
stead of allowing the annual rain
fall to flow away unchecked
would build dams in the ravines
creek and river bottoms, conserv
ing the water supply for evapo
ration during the months of late
spring and summer the hot winds
of the state would lose their de-
structive power”, declared G V
Buchanan, superintendent of the
schools of Oklahoma City, in an
address at the University of Ok-
lahoma.
"This may appear to be a radi-
cal and even visionary scheme”,
explained Superintendent Buch-
anan, "but I believe that in time
the people of Oklahoma will turn
to this plan as the only practical
means of combatting the efforts
of the drouth which has played
havoc with crop'? in the past few
years”.—Publishers Auxiliary.
