Coming This Way.

The Indian Territory is filling
up at rapid pace. Already the
tide of immigration has turned
this way, and the seductive prom
ise that the country is soon to be
allotted to the Indians and i'll a
measure thrown open is alluring
farmers, business men and specu-
lators from not only the surround
ing states but even from remote
places. Countless numbers of per-
sons in the old played-out regions
BACK East and up North"
have their eyes on the Indian Ter
ritory and are anxiously awaiting
developments to move into the
promised land. And not alone are
those who are figuring on the Ter
ritory men Of the shiftless, donat-
ing sort. Men with means and
men OF capacity see the prospect
of fertile field of operations in
this country and stand awaiting
the hour when they can with safe
ty and certainty actively engage in
legitimate enterprises In the Indi-
an Territery.-Tulsa Republican.

The Pu5lic school Question.

0O11AJg ACg eAS AUE10n GG&DnA3GAe
These words are hoary with age.
Centuries have come and gone
since they were uttered, but they
are still pregnant with wisdom and
philosophy. That public education
is the crowning achievement Of
our modern civilization no inform
ed will deny Upon it are found
ed popular government, popular
liberty and national progress. To-
day an orphan boy with talent may
pass from poverty or from the
filth of the streets or from the
humblest home in the land through
the portals of the public school to
the highest post OF honor and re-
sponsibility in the land. This is
what the system of public educa-
ton may do for boy in Texas or
other states having a well-organ-
lied system of free schools.
The result of the late election in
Ardmore is calculated to mislead
persons who are not informed of
the true condition Of things in the
Indian Territory. TO the outside
world it might appear from the
heavy vote cast against the public
free school law that the people of
the foremost town in the Indian
Territory are not favorable to free
schools.
The business men of Ardmore,
the men that must bear the burden
of taxation have come here rom
the states; they have doubtless beer
warm supporters Of free schools in
Texas and elsewhere. and are to-
day heartily in sympathy with the
institution of free schools, as is the
writer Of these lines. But the an
omalous state of affairs existing in
this Territory, and in this city is q
sufficient reason for any prudent
man to hesitate to lay a burder
upon himself or his me- ghbor. No
till a, man owns his home or hi:
property in fee simple, ought il
to be taxed for public purposes?
The heavy vote against the meas
ure does not mean that the pro
gressive little city of Ardmore i.
against free schools; it means rathel
that theresi is a very large numbel
of prudent, thoughtful men her,
who consider the measure prema
turs and inexpedient at this time
1t is possible to pluck the rares
fruit too soon.
What man in Ardmore know
: when he will be called upon to pa,
for the home he claims, but doe
not Own, or the lot on which hi
business house standss Would i
not have been been better to wal
a year or two, or till things ar
more settled and certain! Sobe
after-thought will give an affirma
tive answer. r.-Contributed.

-FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
IN THE coPPERs.


A Wall street house wires: "Specu-
lation will be wild, almost rampant, IL
the copper shares. British Columbia
copper, which is selling in Boston at
only 81 per share above the price at
which it was listed 10 days ago, will
do wonders as far as The market is con-
cerned. In all probability the stock Will
be quoted at 20 before the close of the
month. Buying is of gilt-edged descrip~
ton, and without doubt the big boom
of the future will be in the copper
shares.
The above Is only one of the many
indications Of the interest that Wall
street is displaying in coppers. In the
future Boston brokers will have TO reck-
on with this element.
1t is generally understood that con-
troll of Calumet & Heela can be ac-
quired only at the Office of the COM
pany, where the larger part Of the 100,-
600 shares are held. Tt is also under
stood that for sentimental as well as
financial reasons the present holders of
control could not be induced to part
with their stock, even at a great adj
vance from the present ngures. Already
this year the company has paid 4 p.
c. dividends on $1,000, and it is reported
on good authority to be earning 10 p. C.
on $1,000, so that on a financial basis
alone it would probably take no less
than $1200OO,OOO to buy the property.
That is a goodly sum ey-sd to the s. O.
people. The relations existing between
the company and it's employees on the
enc hand and customers on the other
would tend to make the matter Of pur-
chase more difficult. Coming into per-
sonal contact with its customers, to
whom it caters exclusively, 1t can better
afford to remain outside the combine
ton than can those companies depend
ent upon selling agents.

THE MARKET ELSEWHERE.

New York, April 24.-The trading
was of a listless sort today and, except
for an early squirt in the specialties,
prices dropped to the end, which was
weak Smart recessions appeared in
many stocks, while most of the active
list was lower. The strength of ster-
ling silver attracted some attention,
continuing as it does in spite of the
comparative easiness of money, which
ranged from to for call loans. The
favorable bank statement Of Satur-
day failed to arouse a noticeable in
crease in outside interest in the mar
ket and the bears accordingly reasoned
that it was opportune to try some short
ventures. Anaconda Mining was very
strong, rising points, only Of which
it lost before the close.
The advance in Anaconda was asso-
ciated with reports of some deal in
connection with a copper combination;
moreover, copper advanced abroad.
London was a seller Of some 10000
shares of stock, and selling came from
New England and the west, as well
as from some large traders who re-
Gently had been heavy purchasers.
Commission business was very light
Crop uncertainties may account for
the hesitancy in the market and pri-
waite croD advices We're said to have
been received which were not alto
gether favorable. This received some
oredence because of the firmness OF
the wheat market. The market was
altogether uninteresting and almost
featureless.
Irregularity cropped out today in the
bond market, but the changes general
ly were narrow and there was a con-
sistent demand for the newer issues
at improved prices. Total sales, SO.
905,O00.

Boston. April 24.-Wheat opened steady
at about Saturdays close. because the
Liverpool price. while slightly OF, was
firm compared with local weakness on
Saturday, but soon weakened under sales
of long stuff, crop news being hardly
buliish enough to encourage buying, and
second cables no more than steady. The
western weather conditions appear favor
able and foreign houses did little on
either side of the market A hig reduction
in New York stocks of wheat, for the
week, gave more strength to May wheat
and when the visible supply showed a
decrease Of 1925. 600 bushels, it caused
covering among SPECTATORS and firmed
the market up very rapidly.
