instituted, .'granting permission, but
not compelling school districts 10 vote
on the question Of county uniformity.
Some Of the superintendents and
teachers of the territory are laboring
under the mistaken impression that
the law is mandatory upon the people
10 vote for uniformity, rather than be-
ing simply permissive, leaving II op-
tional with the districts TO vote for on
against county uniformity, as they see
fl 10 do.
1t is apparent that the object sought
to be obtained by the present county
uniformity asked, already exists ia
fact, since the books in use in the sew
eral counties are uniform under the
wider range OF territorial adoption
The territory Is fortunate in having
provided for territorial uniformity OF
text.b books.
The only reason for voting on the
question OF county uniformity would
be the urgent need OF one of two
things: Either that the people must
purchase new textbooks, or that an
even exchange be effected with those
furnishing the newly adopted text
books. Both these alternates are
equally bad. 1t is as morally injuri-
Gus to give textbooks away as it
would be severely trying on our people
to buy new books.
Again, the legislature meets during
the winter, and, in all probability,
will re-adopt in the school laws, the
idea OF territorial uniformity, provid-
ing for a commission to select and con
tract for text books, for the entire ter
ritory. IL this is attempted in coun-
ties that may have adopted different
textbooks from those already on hand
1t would be an obstacle in the way Of
territorial adoption.
The need of change In our present
list of text books, OF course, is worthy
Of discussion. II is probable that
some OF them are not as desirable as
those that could be had. 1t is true
that there Is some dissatisfaction on
the part of some teachers in regard TO
certain of the text books that would
be adopted. But, granting that some
of them should be changed, it seems
to us that in view of present condi-
tions, it would be better to let the pres
ent arrangement remain until we see
whether we could secure territorial
uniformity.
We believe that territorial uni
formity is desirable from all points,
and that the idea would meet with al
most unanimous approval We feel,
therefore. that, in view OF the hard
ship it would be to our people to pur-
chase new textbooks, and in view Of
the prospect OF soon being able TO Sc
cure territorial uniformity ana in view
of the fact that, at most, but few of
the books need replacing, it is wise for
all county superintendents to await
the action of the next legislature.

KEAToN FoR DELEGATE.

Mr.. James r. Keaton Of this city, is
the unanimous choice of the Demo
Gratis Of Logan county for delegate to
the national convention at Chicago.
The action Of the county convention
was a worthy compliment to Mr..
Keaton and the LEADER feels conf
dent that he will faithfully discharge
the trust reposed in him Keatou is
bright, studious lawyer, has a good
record as a man and a Democrat and
there is no question as to his ideas re-
garding the money issue.
the contest between Mr.. KeAton and
Mr.. Hagan was spirited, but friendly,
and the convention was all the most
eXactirg could wish for in the way of
harmony and good feeling. The dele
gates selected will go to Oklahoma
City with the firm resolution to sup.
port KeCton to the last and carry him
to victory.

II. II. lAGAN has suddenly branched
out as a thinker and orator OF no mean
note. His address before the county
convention yesterday was mastery
and convincing. His financial views
have the right ring and his arguments
yesterday left deep impression on
the minds of his hearers. Hagan is
thoroughly posted on every phase OF
the money question, and those who
heard him speak were surprised at his
clear-cut and logical statements and
his firm and trenchant delivery. II
Hagan's spine were as brisk and sta,
BILE as his eloquence he could give Eu
gene cards and spades and then beat
him to the fire-eseape on the second
floor.
