II is vesy patent TO the most unob-
serving that school book publishers all
over the union are deeply interested in
the success OF the measure now 10 the
lower house, providing for change Of
school textbooks IN oklahoma The
enactment of such measure would
inure TO their profit at once, sinee thous-
ands Of dollars worth Of books now in
use in the territory would be worthless
and way would be opened to these
publishers to graft school patrons 10 the
bone. The bill now in the house pro-
vides for commission composed Of
the territorial superintendent aud all
the county superintendeuts In the ter
rivory, with a representative TO be
commission meets In convention and
adopts new books. Since rich book
publishing houses care little for money
and less for principle, it is easy to
see how the members Of such com
mission could be swayed by subtle in
huences. Furthermore, the bill pro.
vides for a ten-year contract. No state
in the union has contract extending
over six years. Considerable has been
said regarding the cheap prices Of
text books in Nebraska and Missouri.
/ The fact OF the matter is, Oklahoma
pays at present the same prices for
books as does Nebraska under district
adoption, Utah and Wyoming, under
state adoption; Kansas, under county
adoption, and Missouri under state
adoption. Any parent in Oklahoma
can send his money to Chicago and
purchase text books at 20 per cent OIL,
and receive his supple at the same
quotations given booksellers. A
change at this time would create
havoc in the common schools; reduce
the enrolment; and cause cry on
the part Of patrons so loud that the
Republican party would use it for cam
paign material during the next two
years. The legislature should not try
any costly experiments this session.

Formidable Nature Of the Com
petition For English Trade
Illustrated.
Exhaustion of Her Own and
Cheap Foreign Ores She
Has Used,
Together With the Superior Fa.
cilities of American Furnaces,
Explains 1t.

WASHINGTON, May 3.-The formid.
able nature of the competition which
our steel makers are now Offering to-
ward the British steel trade is strik-
ingly set out in an article prepared by
IN expert for publication in London
and transmitted to the department of
state by United States Consul Parker
at Birmingham. The expert shows
that England is threatened in her su.
premacy as the ironmaster by two con-
ditions:
First, the exhaustion of her own ores
and of the cheap foreign ores she has
been so largely using; and, second. the
rapid growth of American competition.
1t is this second factor that is naturally
the absorbing interest to Americans, in
the estimation Of Consul Parker. He
directs special attention to the means
that have enabled our steel men to
bring their ores from 800 to 800 miles
to the blast furnaces, carry the fin
ished product 500 miles from the int.
rior to tidewater at New York and
thence transport it by sea and compete
easily with British home made steel.
One American furnace produces more
than eight times as much steel as q
British furnace, and about 40 of the
former would have produced all Of the
iron that was made last year in Eng.
land by 362 furnaces.
Commenting upon the British ex-
pert's article, Consul Parker says he is
continually being asked by British
manufacturers whether American com
petition will last, and, if so, where they
can buy the steel.
The shipments of steel 30 far made,
he says. have given general satisfaction
as to quality. Indeed, there has been
a strange complaint that it is "toc
good" which means that it is better
than the manufacturer has been accus.
toned to employ for a given purpose.
There is a genuine fear of this compe.
tition among those engaged in the
British trade.
