SCENT to be true in the case Of our Mr.
Q. d. Bowden, who has signed con
tract to take up his grip and again

Mr.. Bowden was for many years a
femiliar parsonage on the road in Ken
lucky and Tennessee. In Septem ber,
1898, Mr.. Bowden moved from Dres-
den, Tennessee, to Lexington, Okla
homa, and opened a large stock OF dry
and clothing, and has since enjoyed
an excellent cash trade that his hon
esty and business principles justly
entities him TO.
Mr.. Bowden will, commencing May
l, represent in Oklahoma and Indian
territories, as territorial salesman,
Messrs Seasongood. Troy & Kronse,
manufacturers of mems boys and
children's clothing, Cincinnati, Ohio.
To the commercial world this firm
needs no introduction, as il has long
been land mark among clothing
manufacturers in Cincinnati, the

We are glad TO note that MIR. Bow
den will continue his retail business
Lexington, which will be left in
charge of his brother, Mr.. Kelly

Bowden's family will still live in Lex

will permit.

Sewerage.


Sewerage.
Editor Leader.
The State Capital interviewed me
Saturday on the sewer bond matter
and failed TO print my views, because
they COLLECTED with the infamous plan
TO steal thousands OF dollars rom the
home owners of Guthrie, pushed
through by the city hall gang If bood-
lers and thugs.
Every poor boaIe owner in the city
must be taxed to benefit some half
dozen individuals in the center of the
city.
The laborers are being deceived
the bulk of the money raised for sew
ers would be paid to foreign dealers
for material, and to high priced en-
gineers with imported gangs of labor
ers.
Who are the men quoted by the Cap
ital Sunday morning for sewers? They
are tenants, not real estate owners,
men with merchandise who can mi
CRATE any moment when the rate OF
taxes is so high that capital is driven
out of the country.
have this day notified my tenants
that IL this bond proposition carries,
will raise my rents 10 per cent.
We do not need sewers now more
than we did three, or FIVE, or seven
years ago.
What we need now is railroads.
am willing to give $500 toward a
through line Of railroad, or to favor a
better water supply separate from
sewers, but l will not knowingly here

HEADS LONG AND SHORT

An interesting comparison OF the
relative merits and numbers Of long.
beaded and bullet-headed people,
scientifically known as doiehocephais
and braahycephais, is made by Dr.
John Beddoe in the last number Of
Science Progress. To refer to a man
as long-headed is compliment which
has a real anthropologica basis
There is good evidence that, as a
rule, long heads are intellectually SUI
perior to round heads, and tend TO rise
toward the higher social strata. Mum
erous measureffients of students at
Cam bridge have shown that frst-class
men are longer headed than second
class men, and they again than the
slmple-pass men and the failures. But
though the long headed men Of the
blonde type apparently have the ad-
vantage Of intellect, their superiority
is against them in the long rnn. Thus
DIR. Beddoe points out, the great Greek
race, which was long headed and
largely blonde, has now bnt few and
doubtful representatives; the nobler
strains OF the Irish people perished or
emigrated in the cnteentd century
and at the present time in the cities of
France and central Europe the long
heads seem to melt away and give
way TO frese strains of short headed
peasant blood.
The fittest, who survives, therefore,
is the quiet. unambitious, common
place thick head, who remains at home
and tempts no dangers. 1t may be
that when wars have ceased to be and
there are no more regions to explore
and perhaps f9wer scientific realms to
conquer, this NAV be the happiest. as
well as the fttest-that is, the best
adapted class of men.-Chicago News.
