PUBLIC OPINION Sl'PRKMtf.
Tho truth about the famous Cun-
ningham claims to coal lunds In
Alaska, the 'ock on which It seemed
at one time as If this administration
would split, Is not hnrd to ascertain.
The decision recently rendered by the
Interior department, declaring them
Invalid, Is but a response to public
opinion. On the facts as presented
the decision might have been either
way. Hud no row been raised, had
the matter not leceived the scorching
light of publicity thrown upon it by
tho retirement of Plnchot and the
war on Halllnger, there is not the
slightest doubt that the claims would
have been allowed, and the Guggen-
heim syndicate would now be In pos-
session of the richest coal fields io
far known to exist in Alaska. Thous-
ands on thousands of acres of timber
and mineral lands,, the foundation of
the greatest fortunes in the country
today, arc held upon no other title.
If these oases could be re-opened, the
present holders would not retain
them an Instant. The change Is In an
aroused public opinion, against which
nobody now would care to stand.
Throughout the West everywhere
1th has been the custom to open up
the resources of new country In this
way, In defiance of the laws. The
law says that a locator must act for
himself, und not In collusion with an-
other. But the great timber tracts,
the great coal fields, everything that
requires lurge capital to operate, has
been taken up by Individual locators
acting under Instructions, paid for by
Individuals or powerful companies,
with a thorough understanding that
the holdings were to be transferred to
the employer later on. It was Illegal,
It was morally wiong, but It became
the custom of the country. The Cun-
ningham claims only followed this
precedent; and It is not surprising
that the Cunninghams and the Gug-
genhelms actually felt aggrieved
when they found themselves assailed
for doing what had been done with-
out question for the last fifty years.
We should rejoice not so much In the
defeat of this particular project as In
Ihe public opinion that it has stirred
to a point where we may hope that
repetition of the illegal process Is im-
possible,
MEMOIRS OK A SOCIAL QUEEN.
"The Queen of St. Louis society"
has written her memoirs. It is scarce-
ly probable that her little book will
go down tu history as a classic; it Is
hardly probable thai It will make the
world any better, or for that matter
make It worse.
That it will bo read, 4n St. Louis at
least, can not be doubted. Certain
chapters border on the Robert W.
Chambers, others overflow with a
man's tours. Still others furnish u
morul.
It may seem strange that a woman
who as a queen ruled St. Louis so-
icty for years tn a book of h« r
memoirs should dwell so little upon
society us this woman does. But one
hint of the social strife and conflict
of a great city enters the covers of
her little book. And that one hint is
bitterness. That Is all the InslKht the
>utside world Is given of this great
lady's opinion of the game. Yet from
r few carefully chosen words her
readers may inter that 11 Is not worth
the candle. #
Mrs. Morrison, so she confesses,
married to become "an old man's
darling" rather than a "young man's
servant." She was wedded at the age |
of seventeen to Col. Morrison, then i
Bfty-nve. The Colonel's eldest son
was but twelve days the Junior of his .
young, rich and pretty wife. But the I
bv.iiititul Adele Sarpy, for that was I
Mts. Morrison's :nalden name, had
already tired of her flirtations and
was pained by the broken hearts her
frivolity had left In its wake. Besides
she thought her husband the ""King of
Manly Beauty." Suddenly one day by
chance sho discovered that the Col-
onel dyed his mustache but so great
was her love for him that even such
a discovery did not shako her falih.
As the months went by she made
other discoveries but she remained
loyal to the old man until his death. J
He was stricken with gout on his
honeymoon and finished his days a
con tinned invalid.
Mrs. Morrison almost fell In love
with her good looking son-in-law
t,ut death claimed him too. Then she
lost her two beautiful children, one
of them a son. It Is In telling of these
great tragedies of her life thut the
womanly tears flow down the pages of
tier little book. The death of her
' son pained her most of all. With
i motherly love and motherly Instinct
she hil l ho muck wanted to be ih>-
UNUSUAL FRANKNESS.
The Interurban electric car line con-
necting Muskogee and Fort Gibson
has been completed.—Okluhoman.
This timely admission entitles the
Oklahoma City contemporary to credit
as a newspaper. More such enter-
prise would bring it increasing con-
sideration throughout the state.
Congressmen would do well to pass
the reciprocity bill and then go home
to find out what else their constitu-
ents have decided upon before trying
to do anything else in regard to the
tariff.

The teacher was giving the young-
sters a talk on natural history.
"The field sparrow builds Its nest
on the ground," she said, "the king-
fisher digs into the side of a hill or

All entered the taxi and sped away.
As soon as Mrs. Lyon learned of her
husband's coup she began a search
for him and employed a detective.
Yesterday afternoon she received e
telephone message from a woman who
gave her address as the Auberta

, knew where Lyon and the baby were
and would aid Mrs. Lyon.

apartment adjoining Lyon's on Aubert
avenue and from a rear second-floor
window she saw him caress the baby.
She had arrived in an automobile
accompanied by her uncle. Hurrying
to the door Mis. Lyon summoned her
husband. When the latter recog-
nized his wife he would not talk to her
beyond refusing to relinquish the in-
fant. The altercation aroused the res-
idents of the neighborhood and a
crowd gathered.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., July
1.— (Special)—Civil servke prin-
ciples have been adopted by the state
board of education and will be fol-
lowed heeralter in the selection of
teachers for the state schools. At
the last session of the board resolu-
tions were adopted which marks the
future policy of the board in that re-
spect.
Instead of muklng appointments
annually the board has decided that
this will not Insure the best Interests
of the schools noi the patrons or
scholars, and henceforth when a
teacher gives satisfaction and has
been retained by the board for at
least two consecutive years that
teacher may consider himself or
herself with a permanent Job.
This policy was advocated by Sup-
erintendent R. H. Wilson, immediate-
ly after he assumed his office last
winter. The matter has been dis-
cussed by the board since its crea-
tion, and it is known that Governor
Cruce has always been In sympathy
with such a system.
This removes the last prospect of
any politics in the school affairs, at
least so far as the election of teach-
ers in the schools goes. It has oeen
Governor Cruce'e highest ambition to
remove politics from the state insti-
tutions as far as possible, and in
school affairs in particular, where
merit alone should guide, in the op-
inion of the chief executive.
