TOO MUCH PUBLIC POLICY.
Sarcasm for q Texas Onicial Who Refused
to Flo q Charter.

AuRTIH. Tex. July pa petition was pre-
sented to the Supreme Court hero to-day to
compel Secretary Of State D. H. Hardy 10 file
for record the charter OF the Ardmore Mill and
Elevator Company. which proposes to main
tain principal offices at Paris. Tex. and con-
duct an elevator business at Ardmore. l. T.
After citing the, refusal OF the Secretary OF
State to file the charter the petition says
1t Is not we'll for n small officer. who has no
reasonable prospect OF being selected dictator.
to consume too much time over grave ques-
lions Of public policy. 1t unnecessarily de-
stroys his happiness and peace OF mind. Every
onward movement since man ran wild in the
woods, and lived on haws. persimmons and
huckleberries. has been opposed by some peo-
pies views OF public policy. Indiscreet med-
tation over questions Of policy leads to strange
contradictions. The Secretary OF State. with
the aid Of the Attorney Generals assistance.
has reached the conclusion that It is the policy
OF tho State to charter railroad. land. telegraph
and navigation companies to do business IN
tho Indian Territory or elsewhere. but that II
ia contrary to the policy Of the State to charter
m ls and like enterprises"
The Supreme Court took the matter OF re-
ceiying the application under advisement.
