said TO The writer the other day
"Did you ever stop to think that
doctors, lawyers, preachers, school
teachers and other professional
classes are required by law to have
certain amount of education and
knowledge in order to practice
their professions. But a news
paper editor requires nothing of the
kind. He may know much or lit
tie, or nothing al all but he can be
an editor. He can graduate from
the corn field, cotton patch, potato
patch, store clerk, barn yard clerk

Oklahoma is now howhng to be
taken in by the Indian Territory;
her refrain is now quite different
from what it was when the ques-
tion was sometime ago simply
whether "Oklahoma" should be,
or not be. Then the argument OF
these territorial gentlemen before
congress was that "Oklahoma"
was amply able to put on the ter
ritorial robe, and even wear the
crown OF statehood, all alone in
the American union. But no
sooner had she wiped the Indians
out, and took her seat on the. bor-
der as territory, than she ac-
knowledged the hollowness Of her
original pretenses and begun to
importune for help to carry on
her little political shebang. We
say 1t courteously, but, Miss Okla,
the Indians can get along without
you.

What makes the printer a foo
in regard to cutting ratesY Nc
other profession on earth does it,
The lawyers say it is not too high;
the doctors have fees they consid'
er fair, and if anybody kicks about
the steepness of a bill all the rest
Of the doctors say it is all right.
The merchants all have a uniform
price aud everybody else but the
fool printer. The law sets a price
for legal work. but the printer
thinks he knows more than the
law-maker and cuts it down to
starvation rates. This could be
easily changed aud the printer get
what is due him. We hope il will
some time between now aid the
end Of time. -Goodland News.

Flynn is the friend of the Indian

the olden days than are the repub-
licans of Oklahoma protesting a
love for the territory. The Capital

der the conditions now imposed
upon the territory there can be no
good reason for staying out Of
